PRUNEs.

Inc consumption OF prunes IN the
United States exceeds 100, OO0, 900
pounds yearly. Prior 70 1886 the sup
ply came almost wholly from France
and the Danubian provinces, and sold
under the designation OF French" or
Turkish" prunes.
In the year referred TO, prunes OF
American growth appeared on the
market, and with each succeeding
year the supply has increased, until
the importation Of foreign fruit has
been reduced to extremely small pro-
portions. Much the larger portion OF
the prune supply is the production Uf
California, where climatic pcculiari-
ties are extremely favorable for It's
production. II Santa Clara county

The excess, with that raised In other
localities, Is needed to supply the X

National Franchises.

One of the most serious prob.
lens before congress is the ques-
ton what, il anything, can be done
to regulate the operations of great
corporations for the protection of
the public without interfering with
the Legitimate development OF
capital or coming into collision
with the reserved rights of the
states under the constitution.
Commissioner James K. Garfield
of the Bureau of Corporations, in
his first annual report, recon.
mends the adoption OF a system
under which all corporations which
do an interstate business should
be required to have a national
franchise or license. He would
make conformity with all neces.
sary requirements regarding cor
porate organization and manage
ment a condition TO the grant OF
such a license, and the making OF
all required reports and returns Il
condition TO its retention, and
would shut out from interstate
and foreign commerce all corpora
tons which did not hold such a
license. He argues that some such
system as this is needed 10 correct
existing abuses arising from the
practice of CHI. rtcring corporations
in states whose laws are lax to

Capitol police has prepared his annual re-
port for the year ending June 80, 1905.
Capt. Megrew says the general department
of the force under him has been exception
ally good. He also expresses the hope to
the sergeant-at-arms Of the Senate, to
whom the report is made, that Congress

men under him whom, he says. are the most
poorly paid of any class Of Capitol EN-.
ployes.
The Capitol force consists of one captain,
one lieutenant, three lieutenants, three SER
geants. one clerk, one detective and sixty
four privates. OF this entire force of sew

During the year there were three cases
of arrests OF persons begging at the Capt.
toll, and four for being drunk and disorder
ly. There were three crazy men and one
crazy woman who came to the Capitol and
were taken care Of by the officers, There
were In all twenty-six cases of arrest, the
total fines collected from these persons
amounting to $145.
A large number of articles were found.

ANACoSTIA AND VICINITY.
Complaint Filed Against Rife Range
Personal Items.

The District National Guard rife range
near Congress Heights was the subject of
another complaint made to the police au-
thorities in Anacostia last evening. Some
months ago report was made that bullets
were flying in dangerous proximity to
houses and residents and the shooting was
discontinued until target butts could be
erected, which has now been done The
last complaint was made by Mrs. Philip
Chiseldine, who lives on the Wheeler road
near the District line. She told the police
that Friday bullets from the rifle range
were flying about her fields all day and
that men working in the fields had to leave
on that account. No one was hurt, but
Mrs. Chiseldine thought 1t wise to ask the
authorities to take some action to prevent
a recurrence of the danger.
Citizens of Anacostia discovered new
and hitherto unsupported annoyance in the
transfer system inaugurated by the street
car company at the foot of 18th street
southeast yesterday when James e. Holmes
of No. 141 Jefferson street. Anacostia, re-
ported that in changing cars his wife left
in one car a pocketbook containing a 50
bill and marriage certificate. It was not
stated to whom the marriage certincate be-
longed.

Cemetery for Animals.
From the New York Herald

rom the view 1ork herald
In spite OF much agitation upon the SUD-
jet at various times. lovers of animals
have never succeeded in establishing n
this country a cemetery as elaborate
those In several European capitals.
The largest and most beautiful animal
cemetery is La Necropole Zoologique in
Paris. rather in the suburb of Asnercs
Here large plot of ground is laid out for
the interment of dogs and other animals.
and here are erected monuments in every
way as handsome as those over the graves
IF human beings in other cities of the dead.
Some famous dogs have sculptures 10
mark their memories. and dog kennels in
marble are favorite vaults. For $3.50 a
grave is leased for three years and this
fee includes the services of dog under
taker, uniformed and mounted on tri-
cycle. For 800 grave may be leased in
perpetuity, and between these extremes
may be found prices to suit all purposes.
The cemetery occupies an entire island in
the Seine. and, apart from the rental OF
graves, the company owning the property
makes handsome profit out of the sale
of admission tickets to visitors.

Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
N the Nineteenth Century

FROM the Nlneteentn century
1t was the esprit and verve OF Anne's
gay speeches that attracted him, more
especially in contrast to the stately gravity
of his Spanish wife. Also 1t had been a
vexation In early married life that Kath-
crime did not care for riding, and would not
follow the hawk or hounds with him, and
1t was specially in all forms of outdoor ex-
ercise that Anne excelled.
Wyatt's admiration aroused Henry's jeai-
ousy, and a curious little passage at arms
took place between them. The king had a
ring belonging to Anne which he openly
wore upon his little finger, and a few days
after he had possessed himself of 1t no

and. taking from his neck lace which
he had playfully stolen from Anne a short
time before. and which Henry Instantly
recognized. he stopped to measure the dis
lance. The king pushed aside the bowl In
passion. and saying loudly: 1T may be

the game and went away In search OF the
heroine Of this dispute, who found means

her truth.

Menaced BY Floods.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-No break
has yet occurred in the s., 00O, 600 dam
forming the new Croton reservoir,
which was men aced yesterday by a
food of water from the great Croton
watershed. Workmen are reinforcing
the structure at all points of danger
and q patrol has been established to
give immediate warning should a
break threaten. The village Of Croton
Landing, with a population of 1,1O0,
ia one mile below.
When engineers in charge OF the
reservoir learned of the food, they
hurried to the dam and threw open the
gates, but the outflow to the Croton
river and thence to the Hudson was in
sufficient to carry off the rapidly
rising waters, entering from an area
of 1865 square miles and steps were at
once taken to avert a break. The
dam is nearly a quarter of a mile in
length. With the unexpected flood, 1t
reached the 100.foot mark before the
danger was appreciated. The engi-
neers believe that the danger will be
only temporary unless continuous
rains cause the water to rise beyond
its present mark.
