From the London Telegraph.
Paris.-Baroness Cederstrom (Iadame
Adelina Patti has received the ribbon
of the Legion of Honor from President
Loubet for her active cooperation in
charitable work in Paris. The celebrated
cantatrice obtains the decoration chiefly
through the initiative of NJ. Casslgneul,
director of the Petit Journal, who has in
stituted a charity known as the Caisse
du Secours Immediat. Baroness Ceder-
strom has frequently sung at concerts or
ganized in aid of this charity. On the LIST
of April she appeared at the Gate thea
ire, where she was applauded most enthu-
siastically for The Jewel Song from
Faust" an air from the Marriage
of Figaro" and on that occasion a large
sum of money was collected for the char
ity. thanks to Madame PATHS presence
and cooperation. After this M. Delcasse
submitted a decree nominating the great
singer a foreign member of the Legion
of Honor to President Loubet who signed
it at once. In appending his signature

IN NORTH CAROLINA BECAUSE
OF CAR SHORTAGE.

Charlotte. N. C.. May "a special from
chadburn, N. c.. says;
There has never been anything in the
history of this state that compares with
the railroad blockade here. More than
S20O,000 worth of berries have rotted at
the depot since Monday morning.
The railroad is hauling CARLOAD after car
load of fine, but spoiled beIrier to the
river and dumping them as so much
garbage The loss TO the truck growers
of this section will be at east 100000
These figures seem absurd but are abso-
lutely reliable. The Fruit Growers Ex-
press company has failed u supply the
refrigerator cars. The farmers are pick
ing their berries as rapidly as they can
and turning them over tc the station
agent here, but the situation is growing
worse The express company is held re-
sponsible and claims for $2o0,000 damages
have been filed. More thar 100 northern
commission men are here ready and eager
to pay from 81 to 81 a crate for the ber-
ries, If they could ship them. The sit
uation is unique and interesting
Thousands of crates of the prettiest
fruit are on the yard, and the rotting
berries smell from one end of the town
TO the other. Cars are loaded with the
decaying fruit gave forth juice and steam.

The Bishops Mistake.

Bishop Johns was holding service
at a little log church in the mountains
of the South. Two young mountain
GERS, proud parents of a lusty young
ster, presented themselves before the
bishop to have the child christened.
The bishop asked: what name?"
The father of the child replied:
~"Beelzebub."
MOI" exclaimed the bishop, amazed
that the Prince of Darkness should be
so honored. mo, Wen call the child
John. John is a good name"
Whereupon he continued rapidly
with the 81 baptize thee, john" He
signed with the sign of the cross and
dismissed the parents.
They had become more and nor
confused under the unwonted solem-
nifty of the unfamiliar ritual. The
father stood on n foot, shifting his
weight to the other; the mother was
equally disturbed.
When the two reached the door of
the church the father turned, and at
last finding his voice, called back to-
ward the rude chancel: mister
