California Peaches In Cold Storage

California Peaches In Cold Storage.
Peaches from various points in Cali
fornia are being shipped to Stockton
and placed in cold storage, says the
San Francisco Call. A large ice COM
pany has found by experimenting that
it can freeze peaches and keep them
three months easily Last year the ex-
pertinent was made successfully, and
this year the company has engaged in
storing fruit as q business. Already
there are 5000 boxes Of peaches on ice
at the local point. The greater part Of
them came from the warm regions Of
Fresno. These peaches were picked
moderately green. By freezing them
they are kept from ripening. Three
months from now they will lie placed
upon the market either in California or
in the east. Soon after the fruit is
taken off the ice it ripens nicely. By
selecting a late variety of peaches it
may be possible to preserve them till
Christmas.

man was sent from st. Louis actually

He has since died. Richardson got
Evans to sign his name to an appli-
cation for $50, 900 policy, mentioning
the supposed Gray's wife as the ben
eficiary, the understanding being that
the proceeds should be shared. A

Then Gray swOre Richardson pro-
posed to him that they go into the
business of insuring persons at the
point of death. Gray later agreed to
take out policy for $40, 006 under the
name of Sanguinette, making Mason,
who posed as his son for the purpose,
his beneficiary.
Detectives by this time were never
far from Richardson and Mason, and
they swore they heard the two con-
versing in the lobby of an Ell PasO
hotel. in which they were congratu-
lating themselves on the ease with
which they caught Gray. eve won't

Found Evidence of Poison.
With the men arrested, Mr.. BOttOme
had the authorities exhume the bodies
of Harry Mitchell and Devers. Anal
vsis disclosed the presence of. strych-
nine in the stOmachs of both, while in
addition there were traces of bi-chlO-
ride of mercury in that of Devers. A
tintype photograph of three men and a
woman, found in the possession of the
prisoners, and the word Rochester,
accidentally dropped by one of them,
led to the Identification of Richardson
asHulbert, the fugitive lawyer; Mason
asHenry Mitchell and Henry Mitchell
as his half brother.
DR.. Harle confessed when confront
ed by the evidence.
The men were taken into Mexico in
1903. and they have been on trial
practically continuously ever since.
The Mexican law allows a defendant
to take any point ruled against him
up to the highest court at any stage OF
the trial, and Hubert, who pleaded
his own case, has taken advantage OF
that law constantly. According to Mr..
Bottome there is no point for appeal
now except the actual sentence, and
that can be passed upon within a few
weeks. it is expe sted the men will be
shot before January l.

Bride and Groom Chose a Romantic
Spot For Ceremony.
Under the glow of the November
moon and in the midst of a field of sew
eral hundred acres of uncut corn near
Des Moines, Ia, Earl E. Campbell and
Amber n. Strickling were recently
united in marriage at midnight, says
Des Moines special to the Chicago In

Thirty-five guests had nearly all ar
rived at the Strickling home when 1t
flashed across the bridegroom's mind
that he had obtained the marriage IL
cense in Cherokee county, while the
ceremony was scheduled for Ida coun-
ty.
After a hurried consultation it was
decided to adjourn to a high knoll In
the center Of Farmer Strickling's farm,
which extended across the county line.
The carriages were called, and thither
the jolly bridal party wended its way.
The night wind rustled the leaves Of
corn for music, and to its gentle ac-
compartment the Rev. G. P. Morgan OF
Cushing spoke the fateful words.

An electrical padding machine in
vented by Professor Dennis is now in
operation in the public school in East
Penna, a suburb of Peoria, ILL.,, says &
dispatch from that place. The mode
Of operation is to place the recalcitrant
pupil over a chair near the spanking
machine, press a button, and the flow
of electricity starts a series of paddles
in operation which play upon the anat-
omy Of the spankee. Residents Of the
village have protested and declare they
will take their children from school if
the use Of the machine is not stopped.

DEARLY BOUGHT FREEDOM.
Terrible Price Jews In Russia Are
Paying.


Paying.
Through DR.. Fishberg the Jewish
Daily News of New York recently re-
ceived a letter describing some Of the
details of the Jewish massacres in Rus
sia from S. Rabinowitz, who under the
pen name Of Sholom Aleichem peace
to You is one Of the best known Jew
ish writer's in Russia. Mr.. Rabino-
Wits letter is dated from the Impe-
rial hotel in Kiev, and he says in part:
Your letter brought me here, where,
together with q number of families, l,
with my wife and children, are COVER
ing under a storm of leaden bullets
that are being fired over our heads, so
that we shall remain powerless, use
less, paralyzed. 1t is Well nigh impos-
sible, it is herculean task, to describe
what has happened here. l will tell it
to you in boldest terms:
ION the 18th we were presented
with the constitution for which our
brothers spilled their blood like water.
On the same day a rumor was spread
abroad that orders had been given to
attack the Jews, and the attack began
from all sides. simultaneously an or
der was issued that we should not
shoot from the windows and not throw
stones. If we should do that the sol
"a Il
houses.
Seeing soldiers on the street and
Cossacks, we felt reassured; they will
surely help us. And they did help but
not US. They helped to rob, to beat, to
raviSh, to despoil Before our eyes and
in the eyes of the whole world they
helped to smash windows, break down
doors, break locks and to put booty in
their pockets. Before our eyes and in
the eyes of our children they beat Jews
grievously, men, women and children,
and they shouted: Money! Give us
your money! Before our eyes women
were hurled from windows and chill
dren thrown to the cobblestones.
mo; my hand trembles. The pen
will not obey l can write no more.
The local newspapers publish only one
hundredth part of the frightful details
Of the happenings in Kiev. Now mag
inc what is happening in hundreds of
Jewish towns and villages! Too dear
will our freedom cost US, and God only
knows whether we will live to enjoy
this freedom.
1.-THE tyrant will not surrender his
rod. The swords are being sharpened-
bitter. In Gods name, brethren, help
To act, to help. to resistant we are
not permitted For the life of one
drunken brute that we take when he
attacks our wives and our children we
pay with hundreds Of innocent lives.
"What shall we do? No place to hide
Gentiles will not give shelter to Jews
Even the millionaires, the Brodshyks
and the Zeitzhoffs, threw themselves to
the feet Of their friends, the Christians.
Their friends asked to be excused.
Brother, do something. Publish this in
the English as well as the Jewish
press. Well, then, If I cannot be saved,
if l must die, I am ready. Perhaps it
is better that 1 shall fall a sacrifice
with the rest. My people are being
consumed; the whole Russian Jewry is
in danger"

A Preachers Ideas on Temperance.

Rev. J. A. Barnes, pastor of the
Bolton Avenue Baptist church at
Cleveland, O., has some advanced
ideas on the subject of temperance.
He says that the person who fills his
stomach full of indigestible pies and
dumplings or other rich and heavy
food is really more Incorporate than
he who fills his stomach with beer.
The preacher declared he never drank
beer, but he was satisfied that of the
two evils beer was the lesser.

The Dead Statesman.
BY both temperament and feeling Sem
ator Plat was peculiarly the represen-
tat!ye of New England ideas and OF the
old-fashioaed Puritan integrity and con-
science. Throughout his whole life he
kept himself in the most sympathetic
touch with New England institutions Of
every kind. The church, the townspeo-
pie, the farm and the schools were the
objects Of his keen interest. Senator
Platt was first elected to the senate In
1879 to succeed Senator w. H. Barnum,
a DEMOCRAT, who had been elected to fill
the vacancy caused by the death Of Sen
ator Orris S. Ferris, republican. His
last reelection was In 1909 Senator
Platt's last public utterance was at the
state capitol on March 81, when, before
the general assembly, he delivered the
eulogy over Gen. Hawley, whose body
lay In state In the corridor below. He

touched deeply all who heard him.
A Distinct Loss.
Washington, April 22.-That the
death Of Senator Plat is distinct loss
to the senate and to the country at large
is the unanimously expressed opinion
Of public men. To President Roosevelt
will be especially felt. as the senator
was a frequent visitor at the white house
and at all times consulted by the presi-
dent when important matters of state in
and out of congress- were under discus
sion.
During his long service Of % years the
senator has taken an active part in the
proceedings of the upper branch Of con.
