HARVESTING APPLES.

Our orchard experience this year
leads us to believe that 1t would be
advisable to make two pickings Of ap-
piles at from two to three weeks
apart The first time through the rip
est and largest fruit could be picked
off and marketed. This would not
only result in saving practically all of
the earliest maturing fruit, which usu-
ally falls to the ground and is wasted,
but it would also serve to relieve the
tree and enable it to mature the re-
naming apples in much better shape.
Where there are few apples on the tree
this would not be necessary, but
where the tree is overfull it is COM
PEELED by natural law to drop much
of its load before it can mature that
which remains. In such cases the two
pickings have much to commend
them.

THE MAID AND THE MUMMY"
One Of the Most Beautiful Of Theatrical
Attractions Coming to the Grand
Dec. Is.

The programme of "The Maid and
the Mummy" always begin by an
nouncing what kind of stage produc.
tion this one by Richard earle is
NOT. For instance, the :uv-1or de-
clares that it sis neither a light nor a
comic opera, neither a musical nor a
farcical comedy, neither burlesque
nor an extravaganza. "Then," he
adds, "that The Maid and the Num-
my combines some of the best quail
ties of all these various types Of stage
offerings and that it is introduced
solely for the purpose of preser ting
laughter. beauty and songs" AS Mr..
Carle is one of the most versatile men
of the stage he knew which were the
best points of burlesque, extrava-
ganza and musical comedy to select,
so it is not surprising that "The
Maid and the Mummy" has been so
singularly successful wherever pre-
scented. It has runs of three months
in New York, Philadelphia and Chi
csgo to its credit, an unusual achieve
ment for musical piece.
1.-THE story of "The Maid and the
Mummy is told in two acts and
concerns the adventures of one
Bolivar, a theatrical property man,
who is paImed off by Washington
Stubs, an actor manager. upon DR..
Elisha Dobbings, a scientist who
thinks he has discovered the elixir of
life. Stubs has had disastrous sea-
son and at the time of the opening
of the play is selling what theatrical
properties he has left to unwary
buyers as genuine antiques. To him
the doctor comes for an Egyptian
mummy. Stubs never had a num-
my, nor the wherewithal to buy one,
but the doctor has lots of cash and is
willing to pay a big price for this
subject for his experiments. In his
extremity, Stubs proceeds to turn
his property man, Bolivar. into the
needed article, and Bolivar is sent, as
genuine mummy, to the Doctor s
house. Naturally, live man is a
mummy box, especially when the live
man has to be fed surreptitiously, and
is productive of many hearty laughs.
Besides the story of the mummy
there is double love interest, that of
the DOCTORS daughter, Flo, for kiss
lng-crazy Brazilian, Don de abanos,
and that of Stubs for a vivacious
actress, Trixie Evergreen. Musically
"The Maid and the Mummy" is en-
tertaining, the compositions of Mr..
Bowers being of the popular order.
There are sixteen musical numbers,

Ringing Bros. Buy Hasenbeck's.

With the purchase Of Carl Hagen
beck's trained animal circus, the
Ringing Brothers will be able to
dominate the circus business in
America. Hagenbeck's circus is now
in its winter quarters at New Orleans,
but the deal by which Ringing Bro
theirs secured control of the big collec-
tion of trained animals was consum-
mated at Baraboo, Wis, winter quar-
tiers OF the Ringling Brothers show
The financial consideration involved
was not made public, but that it was
large may be understood from the fact
that it requires monthly expenditure
OF $40, 600 to maintain in winter quar-
tiers the three shows now controlled by
Ringing Bros
1t is the intention of the new pro-
prietors Of Hagenbeck's circus to dou-
BILE the collection of trained animals
and put the show on the road next sea-
son entirely independent of Ringing
Brothers circus, expect that it will
be under the same management. The
same company now controls the Fore
paugh-Sells circus, which has winter
quarters at COLUMBUS. Ohio.
Under the plA proposed by the
new proprietor Hagenbeck show

1,l6o persons andwill require eighty
railroad cars to transport it through
the country. 1t is aimed to make it
the finest collection of trained and
wild animals in the world.

FERTILIzING ORCHARDS.

While the fact is one that is com.
monty overlooked. 1t is worth while re-
membering that trees In the orchard Of
whatever kind are just as much In
need Of fertilizer as Is land that pro-
duces any kind of a grain or forage
crop. AS somewhat striking illustra-
ton to prove this point, we noted the
other day the case of a thirty-year-
old orchard, In which every row Of
trees was dead except one Of Fsmeuse.
which is VIGOROUSLY short lived tree.
The reason assigned for this by the
owner of the orchard was that this one
row of trees had been given O good
mulch of manure every other year and
the others had not. Bearing apple trees
need fertilizers II they are to live and
bear fruit just as much as man needs
food if he is to keep well and work.

RAILROADS AND POLITICS.
Corruption and Drafting by Repub-
Hean Machine.


Corruption and Grating by Repub-
ltcan Machine.
Since the exposure of the almost
universal grating of the officials, great
and small, Of the Pennsylvania railroad
that corporation has been doing every
thing possible to make the public be-
lieve it has reformed. The principal
attorney of the corporation declares to
the Interstate commerce commission
that the officials will cooperate witt
the commission in carrying out the
new railroad rate law. But it is pretty
hard to teach an old dog new tricks
and the long association of the Pennsyl-
yania railroad officials with the RepuD.
hcan national and stste political ma
chimes is still in evidence
Lewis Emery, ,ir., candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic and Lincoln
Republican ticket in his speech at the
notification meeting at Pittsburg de-
clared:
'The conspiracy with the Pennsyl,
vania railroad was the beginning of the
trust evil and the Inauguration of cor
poration rule in public Affairs. Since
the beginning of the boss rule in this
state the state machine and the Fem
sylvania railroad hare been accom-
plices, and when the Standard Oil COM
pany forced its way into the conspiracy
the triumvirate was complete.
these things are vital issues of this
campaign because now, as for forty
years, the Pennsylvania railroad and
the Standard Oil company, operating
through the instrumentslity of the
state bosses. absolutely rule Pennsyi
vania, name Its officers and dictate its
corporation laws"
AS Mr.. Emery has been fighting the
triumvirate for years and knows what
he is talking about, this indictment
must be true.
Reform Republicans will be panied
to know that the federal officials are
oa the side of the corrupt machine, and
prevent them openly advocating and
working for its success. This lends col
or to the report that the president ia
vors and is aiding the corrupt machine
because Of the fear that fusion success
would defeat some Republican candi-
dates for congress who are notoriously
controlled by the machine.
If Mr.. Roosevelt was the reformer he
is anxious to appear to be, would he
back Boss Penrose and the rotten po-
litical machine that is parading under
the Republican label? So we have the
singular spectacle Of the administra-
tion indicting the Standard Oil trust in
Chicago and prosecuting the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in New York and pro-
tecting both these corporations in
Pennsylvania by aiding in the election
of their tools for state officials and ap-
pointing those they select as federal
omceholders. This kind of reforming
is of such harlequin order that it de-
pends on which side you look at it. On
one side the political harlequin appears
in a reform dress and on the other
side as rotten machine politician.
