All Honor to the Annie.

Inc apple is a splendid fruit, al
though particular specimens of it are
oum. The different varieties have
pronounced individuality. The per-
sonal equation is prominent. The diff
ference between the Porter and the
Baldwin-each a genealogical star of
the first magnitude-is as marked as
the difference between a Connecticut
bank clerk and a Kentucky colonel.
The man who invented or discovered
the Baldwin conferred on humanity
a boon and he did more to tickle the
palate than has ever been realized.
or many uses is the apple capable.
Whether it is eaten raw or converted
into sauce or made the basic element
of pie or subjected to other forms of
artistic treatment by the American
housewife it serves a useful and i'm
portant purpose.
History has never done adequate
justice to the apple. Poets have never
adequately celebrated in song the vir-
tues of the fruit. Political econom-
lists have never fully recognized the
full part that the apple plays in the
affairs of men. But apple day is here
at last.

woodeocks Roost with Hens.

Francis Marks of 1881 East Thirty
seventh street, Flatbush, in visiting
his hennery Friday plight, observed
what he supposed was small chicken
nesting on the perch between two
large white hens, says the New York
World. Calling to his wife, he asked
her if she had been adding to her
flock. Mrs. Marks said she had not
We'll, there is stranger in the
hennery." Mr.. Marks said. Come out
and see it,
Procuring a candle he and his wife
went out to see the little invader. Ex-
aminiug it closely it was found that it
had : long beak similar to that of a
snipc. 1t was notified on the wings,
and about the size of thrush.
The bird was taken into the house
and placed in a cage. Food was fur
nished. of which it ate ravenously. Mr..
Marks subsequently learned that the
bird was woodcock. but where it
came from or how it got into his hem
house is mystery. Yesterday morn
ing when he went to feed his new pet
he found it lying dead on the bottom
OF the cage.

Venetian Trimmings.

One of the striking features of the
moment is the Venetian embroidered
bands seen on several Paris models
AS the word Venetian might imply.
these trimmings are not in gold and
silver but the designs Of the sixteenth
century simply copied in silks and
woods of neutral shades to suit the
taste Of the day. A dainty visiting
gown in silver gray crepe de chine has
an antique pattern of silk roses and
foliage resting upon a band of dark
gray velvet. This trimming is also
used extensively in ball and dinner
dresses.

Il II alleged that the defendants,
through the Standard Oil company
and the other corporations. are en-
gagged In producing. purchasing and
transporting petroleum in the various
producing districts in the United
States. principally situated in New
York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana,
Illinois, Kansas, Indian Territory. Ok
lahoma, Louisiana, Texas, Colorado
and California; that they own and con-
troll nearly all of the pipe lines in
said states, and other pipe lines ex-
tending from Kansas to the seaboard; !;
also pipe lines in Texas and in Cal
ber of tank cars and steamships en-
gagged in transporting oil; and that the
said defendants have. through the in
strumentality Of the Standard Oil COM
pany Of New Jersey "a holding corpor-
ation), eliminated competition between
all of the separate corporations and
monopolized the commerce In oil in
the United States.
Control the Pipe Lines.
1t is alleged that the Standard Oil
company has had control of hescarry-
ing business by pipe lines in and from
all the oil producing regions of the
United States except Texas, Louisiana
and California; that they charged ex-
cessive and unreasonable rates, and
rates which were discriminatory in
favor of the Standard Oil company;
that they have refused to furnish
equal facilities for receiving and de-
livering oil of Independent shippers
and refiners; that they have refused
to transport oil belonging to others
than the defendants and their associa-
ted companies, and since the month of
August, 1906, have refused to transport
oil of others except in such large guam
titles as to completely prevent inde-
pendent producers and refiners of oil
from using their service, and that they
have forced 16 Independent refiners
now doing business in Pennsylvania
and Ohio. and producing their crude
oil through the Standard Oil COM
pany's pipe lines. to sell all of their
export oil to the Standard Oil COM
pany. thereby eliminating their COM
petition. This contract was procured
through threats of the Standard Oil
company to reduce the amount of
crude oil which it would sell to the
independent refiners.
Enjoy Preferential Rates.
1t is alleged that one of the prin-
cipal instrumentalities through which
the defendants have been enabled to
monopolize the commerce in petro-
leum and its products throughout the
United States has been a system of
preferential rates, and rates discrimi-

tion. and placed the control through
stock ownership of all the corpora
tions previously held by the trusts
into the said company, and exchanged
its stock for the stock so acquired

100000 par value-the exact amount

creased by small amount, and Is

Some Standard OIL Methods.
The petition then shows the meth
DDS employed by the STANDARD Oil
company to monopolize the oil bust
ness. These include discriminating
contracts with the railroad companies,
manipulation of rates. local price cut
ting, bogus independent companies,
etc
The bill sets up among others con-
tract between the Standard Oil COM
pany and the Tidewater Pipe company
whereby the Tidewater companies are
limited to liz per cent of certain
business in Pennsylvania and New
York, and the Standard Oil company
to receive SSk per cent of the busi-
ness, the Standard Oil company guar
anteeing the Tidewater company $780,
900 per annum profits, thereby elm
mating all competition between them.
The bill alleges a contract made
with the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany in 1884, which was in existence
until 1906, by which the Standard Oil
company was able to maintain the
public charges for transporting crude
oil from western Pennsylvania at 40
and As cents barrel to Philadelphia
and New York respectively. The Stand
ard OIL company, through its own
pipe lines. transported the oil for
eight cents a barrel.
