FALL PIPPIN.

from seed of the Holland Pippin, but
it's history is uncertain. Trees over
100 years old are found in Connecticut
and New York. The tree is vigorous.
but only fairly productive. More or less
fruit is, however, produced every year,
neither overbearing nor failing entire
ly. The worst defect of the variety is
the liability to scabby fruit in some To-
calities. The apples. like the one
shown in the photograph herewith. are
often three and one-half inches in di-
ameter, with few small specimens.
Color, yellow. with red cheek; form,
irregular: flesh, white. mellow, aro-
matte. In sections where it is known
and appreciated it is paying kind of
plant for home market.-American Cul-

Hard Mouthed Horses.

Here is something of practical value
to any one driving horse that pulls
ON the bit: Fasten a small ring to each
side of the bride and as near the
brow band as possible. Pass the lines
through the bit rings and snap them
into the rings at the brow band. This,
with common jointed bit, will enable
a child to hold a puller or hard mouth
ed horse with ease under almost all
circumstances. 1t can be used on a
fast horse in double team or on both,
as desired 1t is cheap and easily ap-
piled, and 1t won't make the mouth
sore. 1t is better than any patent bit

A Timely Point.

The corn root louise, which is cared
for by ants, when turned up by the
plow late In the fall is unable to re-
enter the ground, and the ants are too
sluggish to carry them below, making
it probable that both species will per-
ish. Generally speaking, the later
plowlng is done the more effective it
will prove as an econoInic measure
against injurious insects.-H. A. Cos

some fruit always finds a market at
top prices wherever it is known. 1t is

NO TRUE BILLS
IN MANY Of
SUFFOLK CASES

Boston. Feb. 10-The Suffolk county
grand jury failed TO report indictments
today in several Of the most important
cases which have been brought to tho at
tention OF that body by District Attorney
John 4 Moran The failure to report on
these indictments it was explained. was
caused by the lack Of time allotted for
the submission and consideration OF evi-
dence
The most important OF these cases in
clude the charges made during the last
mayoralty campaign by Congressman
William s. McNa-y against Mayor John
r Fitzgerald. and the charges made
against Jurors In connection with tho
Crocker will case
No conclusion was reached either In the
case OF the Provident Securities and
Banking company which closed recently
owing $4,000 TO 1000 depositors. In this
connection Mr. Moran stated that II will
require several days 10 examine Lorenzo
r Burlen, secretary OF the institution.
The list OF indictments which number
g. returned by the grand Jury Is the larg-
est reported in over three years. Harry
Middleton. n negro was indicted on tho
charge OF manslaughter for causing the
death by shooting OF Martha Barnett, last
month. Arthur w. Beares was discharged
by the court on the charge OF setting fre
to the building OF the New England Reed
Manufacturing company last December
the grand jury having found no bill IN
his case. II r. charged that Beares was
responsible for this fire which resulted in
the death OF one man and the injury oe
several employees
District Attorney Moran stated today
that n he was empowered BY the lesisla-
ture to employ two additional assistants
he Will have the grand jury continue its
session throughout The entire month OF
March and thereby complete the invsstl-
cations now under way in connection
with several importan. cases in SUFFOLK
county.

OF Levine's attorney that Levine was so
ugly the girl ought TO be glad Size didn't
have TO marry him.
II was a novel suit IN many ways. en-
tirely devoid OF romance. So prosaic was
Il. in fact. that Levine SAYS the girl never

BARTENDERS
REPLEV|NED
UNION BAR SIGN

In every union saloon in the city there
hangs a bar label indicating to the mem
hers OF the unions that the conditions
under which the men work are such as
organized labor recognized as fair. In
addition to this the union bartenders wear
an emblem OF their craft indicating their
stand with the unions.
These bar signs and buttons are dis
tributed TO the various unions through
out the country and thus sent 10 tho men
and the various saloons. These ensgni1s
are the property OF the international and
are protected by registration.
One such OF the bar labels was given
to the saloon now owned by Thomas
Hindle OF 20 Valley street This was done
before the present owner secured the
place When the new owner took charge
the bartenders employed were not rnem-
bers OF the union. and the business agent
undertook 10 have the men join the union.
This they refused 70 do, and then the at
tempt was made 10 remove the bar label,
since union men no longer worked there.
The owner refused to give K ~.
The law was consulted I'm the matter
and the affair placed In the hands cf Mr..
James A. Shields. Mr.. Shields obtained
the services OF a state officer and the
property OF the Bartenders' International
union was recovered, at the point OF a re-
volver. II Is said.
This puts new phase upon the matter
OF the labels, and II is thought that be-
fore any one else refuses TO deliver the
label he will consider the rights OF the
union
