The cold storage of fruit has grown
70 large proportions. nearly 100000
barrels Of apples having been stored
in the United States during the last

the condition in which the fruit is
grown and the manner of handling II
determine to large extent its keep

POOLING rHE pREsrpnNr.

Chicago is one of the big Republican cities of the Union in Presidential campaigns. At the last election 1t gave over Parker. It must have been rather embarrassing to the leaders to have the President visit their city in the condition 1t was in last week. If the opportunity had been afforded him he might have had a good view of the con- ditions existing there and could have formed a fair conception of Chicago's disgrace.
 But the opportunity was not given him. As The Chicago Journal cx- presses 1t, even while the Mayor was trailing President Roosevelt's carriage through such of the streets as his po- lice had been able to make temporarily safe," the rioting was going on in other parts of the city. The streets traversed by tho Presidential procession wero quiet, and for anything he personally witnessed Chicago might have been as orderly as country village. No doubt many of the rioters were to some ex- tent restrained by sense of decency and refrained from exhibiting their in his immediate presence. but If he could have been so easily inn posed on as to have gone off with the that disorder had ceased, he would have been undeceived when he read the newspapers. Pity he had not the opportunity to see and hear just what was occurring while he was in the city.

 Walter Wellmans S Special to Chicago
 Record rald.
 Washington-1t is now a fight to q finish between President Roosevelt and the railroads over the rate bill The prevailing impression in Washington is that the result of the battle will be a draw or compromise For some time the President was ''weakening" on the proposed legislation granting the in terstate commerce commission power to make rates. But this belief has been dispelIed by the utteranceS of the President himself at Denver and by Secretary Tafts plain talk to the dele gates to the railway congress in this city last night. The President boldly a new rate where an old rate is dis puted and found unreasonable. and Secretary Taft bearded the railway lions in their den. so to speak, and gave them good featuring besides. The President is thus seen to stand square ly In the position which he LOOK Tn his message last December, despite all rumors that he had reached the con- cluslon that therein perhaps he had gone a trife too far. Mir. Taft's plain talk to the railway men last night and President Styvesant Fish's heated reply, amounted almost to sensation. The secretary, speaking as everyone warned the American railway men within the sound of his voice that If they wished to play the wise part they would get out of the way and permit them the more they kicked against public opinion and. by inference, against the leadership of the Presi- dent, the worse 1t was likely to be Tor opinioh heard among the American del- egates to the international congress today they did not like the seeretarY's

Carriages for Church.

The old New Yorker happened to pass up the avenue the other day just as the congregations were entering the churches, says The New York Sun.
 It used to be a rule of the people who had carriages" he said as one equippage after another deposited its passengers in front of the door, never to use them to go to church. One might occasionally ride in the after noon, although that was also considered unconventional until few years ago. but there was only one way of going to church That was on shank's mare
 Nowadays the line of broushams is long before every church on Sunday morning and almost the only persons who do not drive to their devotions in carriages are the people that do not own them"

COLUMBIA SEMINARY DIRECTORS.
Are Opposed to Its Removal to At-
 1anta. Cnlnnhia & C. Snecial tn Atlanta

Ianta.
 Columbia. S. C., Special to Atlanta
 Journal.
 After a session lasting until af- ter midnight the seminary directors decided last night to keep open the Presbyterian seminary in Columbia for another year and placed itself on rec ord as opposed to any change in the policy of the institute.
 During the meeting It was devel- oped that there was considerable feel ing among some of the members of the body against some of the members of the faculty for their activity in pro- noting the plans to remove the insti- tuition to Atlanta. W. A. Clark, of Columbia, severely criticised the facul- ty along this line, but he opposed c. E. Grahams efforts to close the insti- tuition temporarily, urging that 1t would be a better business proposition to get a more united faculty to run the seminary than to close for even a temporary period.
 This was discussed for some time and finally Secretary Neville stated that it was definitely decided to run the institution another year in Colum- bia.
 Despite the fact that few of the directors would talk it was ascertained that Dr. McPheters. chairman of the faculty, has resigned. Dr. S. c. Reed has also resigned to accept a pastorate at Gastonia, N. C., but his resignation has not been acted upon yet. This leaves only one of the faculty should Dr. McPheters not decide to stay.

PRESERVE THE SHADE TREES.


 One of the most powerful clements in civic improvement and in beautifying a city is shade. and 1t Is one to which least attention Is paid. Some people do not know the value of shade trees in a city, leaving out the question of beau ty altogether. In the words of New England writer. There are crawling upon the surface of the earth remorse- less men, smitten with blindness and inwardly dead whose only thought of a tree is that it is food for the axe and the saw
 Pretty severe language, that is, but it applies to some of our fellow crea- lures. In the thickly wooded country the people have not seen the necessity of preserving shade trees. but in the cities 1t is different. There every hand some tree ought to be looked on as something sacred, but 1t is not Scores and hundreds of the handsomest trees in a city will be destroyed to make room for street and sidewalk paving. Trees which cannot be replaced in a quarter or half century are cut down or dug up to get a clean place to lay paving stones. It may be argued that necessary street Improvements cannot be made without destroying the trees. and the argument may be legitimate, but we doubt 1t. Better sacrifice some of the paving projects than sacrifice what a generation cannot replace. We admit that inasmuch as the streets be- long to the city 1t has legal right to remove the trees. but we deny that 1t has moral right to do so
 Tn the strictly business portions ot any large city 1t is not convenient to have shade trees growing. but that does not apply to the residence portions. Then too. it should be apparent that paving the streets and sidewalks only increases the necessity for shade. The sun shining on the smooth stone or brick pavements is reflected with an intensity that is never felt where 1t shines only on the soft earth, and for that reason alone. if there was none other. putting down pavements and preserving or planting trees should go together. In short, shade trees add to the beauty, comfort and healthfulness of any city. and 1t is almost crime to remove or destroy them.

 They have caught the scare away up in far-away Oregon. The Portland Oregonian discusses the conquering de- orees of fashion and the hopelessness of any fight against them. and draws this blood-congealing picture:

 Washington, D. C.,
 1419 G. Street, N. w,
 May 11th, 1905. To the Survivors of the Sth Alabama
 Regiment, in Alabama, Texas, and
 elsewhere:
 Dear Comrades-I have consented at the request of Dr. Thomas NJ Owen, Director of Archives and History at Montgomery, Ala, to write for the regiment, and propose to take up and do the work this summer. As most of you know, I wrote a short history of the regiment at the request of Colonel Fowler, then State Historian, while we were encamped at Orange Courthouses ing been disabled by a wound at the Wilderness on May 9th, I was Nnever afterwards with the regiment, and will be at a loss for material relating to the history of the regiment from the battle of the Wilderness until the close of the war
 This is to request from my comrades who were with the regiment after that time letters giving fin as much detail as possible facts within their recollec- tion which may be material to history and may serve to enable me to do rades who are dead, but to those who are living.
 This history I wrote in camp in 1884 wa accompanied by a muster roll giv- ing the names of and full particulars with reference to every private and officer of the regiment up to that date While I have a copy of the history as written, the muster roll sent by me to the State Historian at Montgomery in 1864 has been lost. copy of that muster roll if 1t exists would be in-

 As the hats worn by the ladies are So very large, would 1t not be well to establish again the old custom of separating the men and women in church, so that they would sit in diff ferent tiers of pews? Then a wo- mans big hat would not prevent half dozen or more men from seeing the preacher, but she would be in the way of women only whose hats are as large as hers. Men without hats on one side of the church and women with hats like a parasol on a dlsh-pan on the other side. Wouldn't that be fair and just?

The New York Times says that more than ffty-six hundred infants under two years of age" died in New York last year from one cause In a city containing as many inhabitants as New York that percentage of infant mor- tality would not be considered startling. but when 1t is added by The Times that the above number of little ones came to their death "as the result of milk poisoning" we can begin to understand the enOrmity of 1t. That some of 1t was due to carelessness of mothers and nurses is undoubtedly true, but in the majority of cases there is little room for doubting that this murder of inno- cents was the result of doctored and impure milk. It is crime against which humanity protests in vain.
