Endorsement of the Fruit Division of
the Department of Agriculture. The
apple men of the Department were ex-
tremely doubtful of the claims made
by MIR Spencer that he had evolved
seedless apple which would revolu-
tionize the apple industry of the coun-
try. and they were wise in refusing to
give it Endorsement. Colonel Bracket.
the Pomologst of the Department,
now states that the seedless and core
less apple propaganda is apparently one
of the most carefully considered and
intelligently worked out schemes for
fooling and defrauding the public
which has ever been attempted along
agricultural lines. Taking advantage
of the remarkable results of fruit and
plant improvement made by Luther
Burbank and other wizards Of plant
science, the statement was sprung upon
an unsuspecting newspaper press and
public that wonderful seedless and
coreless apple had been discovered.
Hundreds of columns of newspaper de-
scriptions of this fruit have since ap-
peared in not only the daily and weekly

though such action it is stated, would
be sustained by all reputable fruit men

The wonder of the whole story is
that in the face of such lamentable
failures where the promoters have con-
scented to exhibit their apples the work
still goes forward of successfully fool
ing the people. 1t is not denied that
there is an apple which may be called
seedless and with an imperfectly de-
veloped core; but it is a freak and
worthless. and, moreover, is thousands
of years old. Wherever the Spencer

is because the apple is bloomless it

Havana April 2.-There has been a second duel and with more serious re- suit than the first, as the outcome of the seizure on April IA by six nationalist con gressmen of the papers in the pending in- vestigation of charges of misconduct against Havana councilmen and city of- ficials.
 The participants in today's affair were Aramando Andre the government em- ploye, who on April r fought Congress- man Carlos Mendieta and Congressman Fauetino Guerra of Pinar del Rio pro- vince who like Mendita, was one of the six concerned in the seizure of papers from Governor Nunez's messenger The men fought with sabres and as they were both regarded as in earnest in the mat ter. and the distance permitted for re- treat was limited to 25 feet, it was eK- pected there would be very serious results.
 Guerra slashing at Andres neck suc- Geeded in infiicting a deep gash in the Nter's arm, near the shoulder. The fight thereupon was stopped by the sec onds.

A POLITICAL BOSS.

The following remarks made by Jo-
seph H. Choate at a mass meeting in
Carnegie hall, New York. a few nights
ago, anent the political boss, applies
very forcibly to our man Kearns. He
said:
1--WE used to have great leaders
whom we were proud to follow, such
men as Seward, Greeley and Evarts,
men of great brains, of high char
acter, of patriotic honor, who only
could be compared as giants to pig
mics with these little peddlers of
ward politics, these bosses, as they
are called. l wish l could get up a
good definition of the word boss. 1t
is vulgar word, but there is no other
word to express the meaning to which
it is applied. A creature, l should call
him, without scruple or conscience
who fills his capacious NAV with
graft; who feeds his greedy followers
upon political garbage gathered from
the official fiesh-pots and swill pals;
who now dictates who shall be the
candidates of the respective parties
for the great offices that the people
are to fill: And the members of the
party at large have no more to dc
with the making of the nominations
for these municipal offices than have
the children you find playing in the
streets"
