THE NEW NUNS. /"
An Improved Victor Morei = Beatrice
May a Beauty.

An Improved Victor Morei Beatrice
May a Beauty.
In looking over the new things we
will give first place to the American
Seeding Morton F. Plant. This made
its first and almost its only appearance
at our own local show An improved
V. Morel, but twice the size at least
that have ever seen Morel-and we
have in a few words very good de
scription of Morton F. Plant, with the
addition that the foliage and stem are
a fac-simile of Colonel Appleton.
Next on the list is Beatrice May, and
she is certainly beauty. This variety
has developed one serious fault from
my point of view. which is that she is
altogether too modest and shy in the
producing Of stock, making the dis
semination slow and unsatisfactory.
had hoped to make some money out of
Beatrice, but in the language of the
poet, Twas ever thus since child
hoods hour, I'VE seen my fondest hopes
decay. AS a keeper this variety is
second to none. 1t kept for three
weeks on the plant in perfect condi-
ton. The way that Beatrice May I'm
ished up with me last year is about as
near perfect as ever expect to see a
white chrysanthemum.
Perhaps the next best as an all round
variety in its color is Mrs Henry Par
fridge Red varieties are almost with
out exception prone to burn in bright
sunlight, but Partridge will not damp
one petal. Almost every one likes W
b Church, but SO many complain Of
its poor growth. Partridge will give
you the Church color and in addition
is grand dwarf, stocky grower.

beautiful combinations of color that
have seen, being old rose with golden
tips to the petals It is an Australian

No one is taken when over fifty-fve
years old. OF course one assessment
more than pays one death claim, so
quite often death claim is paid with
out an assessment, as the bylaws de-
clare no assessment can be made If
there is money enough on hand to pay
three death claims No officer gets any
salary but the secretary, who receives
$500 per year, and the treasurer, who
receives $25. We have at present only
about 500 members. but hope to in.
crease the number to seven or eight

it can be placed on the consumers ia
Bile within a few hours Of the time it
leaves the trees Consequently it is
thoroughly ripened on the tree and a
full degree of perfection is attained.
The trade quickly recognizes these
facts. It-is glad to pay for the extra
quality.
AS to varieties a Jerseyman who
grows successfully for local markets
says:
We place the Elberta head and shoul-
der above everything else. We have
been able to realize in the last three
years about $1,000 per acre from the
Elberta. That is ahead of the returns
from any other variety. It is a good,
uniform peach and is used extensively
for canning purposes. The alberta is
good if it stays. on the tree until thor
oughly ripe. 1t will not stand picking
a little earlier for shipping, but for
fruit picked for the local market the
Elberta is good enough for any one. It
is a good, sure cropper, a pretty thing
to look at and a good seller,

Raps Mail order Bu siness.

Governor Joseph w. Folk, in address
ing the retail merchants Of Missouri at
their convention in Jefferson City the
other day, spoke against the mail order
business and favored advertising in the
town papers. He said in part:
"We are proud of our splendid cities
and wa want them to increase In
wealth and population, and we also
want our country towns to grow. We
wish the city merchants to build up,
but we also desire the country mer-
chant to prosper. | do not believe IN
the mail order citizen. III a place Is
good enough for a man to live in and
make his money in, 1t is good enough
for him to spend his money. No mer-
chant can succeed without advertiser 3
in one way or another. Patronize your
town papers. build them up and build
you up increased trade and greater OPP
portunities. Do pot be afraid that bust
ness is going to be hurt by the recent
exposures of wrong doing in the COM
mercal world. No man who Is doing
an honent business can be injured by
the light. All business will be better
for the cleansing process it is going
through and for the stamping out OF
evil.

Must Pay Hi. wiie's Debts.

A husba nd is responsible for his
wife's debts if the purchases she makes
are household necessities. This was the
decision under the new law rendered
by George Crutchfield in the civil dock
ct trials of the Police Court at Rich
mond, Va, on Friday last. &. II. Rob-
inson refused to pay debt made by
his wife at Thalheimer Bros. and they
brought suit. 1t is thought by the de-
lenses that the husbands liability act
had been emasculated by the new Con.
stitution. Judge Crutchfield's construc-
tion is point Of law in which every
retail dealer in the State is interested.
Whether the case will be appealed Is
not known.

Going TO Getsysburg.

Pickett Camp, Confederate Veterans,
will carry large excursion party to
Gettysburg from Richmond on Thurs
dap of this week. The party will go to
Baltimore by steamer, thence by rail to
Gettysburg. On the old battlefield on

delphia brigade will be hosts on that

Der OF Armistead's cammand will be on
hand to receive it.
This Is the second excursion Of Pick

ing taken place in 1887, and since that
time more than half the survivors have

Date For Opening jamestown show.


Washington, Sept. 10 An interest
ing question has arisen concerning the
date of opening the jamestown expo
sition. The exposition authorities, In
the literature which they have spread
broadcast ever this country and Europe
announced April rs as the dates fer
opening the exposition, but in the APP
preparation bill which congress passed
giving the exposition several million of
dollars, May 10 is named as the date
of the opening, for it was on May Ii
that the settlers actually landed at
jamestown, although they arrived in
the waters Of Hampton Roads on April
70.
The exposition authorities have no
objection to accepting the date fixed by
congress, although it is possible that
at the next session of congress bill
may be introduced fixing the opening
OF the exposition on April 26, as origin
ally determined by the jamestown ex-
position management.

YEs1 ERDAT's STOCK MARKGr.
Marked Contra n in the Volume of
 Transa> Ions.

New York, Oct. 24-There was a marked contraction in the volume of transactions at the stock exchange and a corresponding sluggishness in the movement of prices to-day, There was a general assumption that bankers and strong financiers felt opposed to an ac- tive speculation at this time and stood prepared to offer measures to obstruct any efforts to stimuate it. This under standing in itself went a long way towards discouraging any aggressive market operations, so that active meas ures to obstruct them were not called for to large extent. The smaller pro- fessional traders had the market en- tirely to themselves, and their moder- ate transactions had little effect on prices.
 The beginning of the London settle ment was watched with keen attention owing to the fears that have been felt that an over-extended account in American securities would be disclosed there and would be forced out by last weeks rise in the Bank of England rate. The rates for carrying over hold ings into the next account were stiff, according to London reports, rising to 8 and per cent on Americans. There was also a very active demand for cable transfers in the New York exchange market, in connection with the settle ment which made it evident that the account in Americans was being large ly reduced London's settlement con tinues until Friday, which Is payday. and the waiting attitude of the New York market Is partly based on the de- sire to see the outcome There was some selling of stocks here again for London account
 Developments in the money and ex- change markets were rather mixed Money on call was easier here again. There was more confidence in the ef- lfectiveness of the treasury measure for stimulating the bank note issues in re- lieving the money market. Transfer was made to New Orleans, through the sub-treasury, of $500, 000 On the other hand, $1,000000 in gold was received from Canada, probably the return of part of the amount sent to meet the banking emergency in Toronto and thus marking the subsistence of the crisis there, Discounts hardened in London. and there was a sharp drop in sterling exchange at Paris, as if from a subs- denee of pressure for remittance to Lon. Foreign exchange here continued to work higher.
 Occasional upward movements of spe- eial stocks met with selling and the undertone of the dull market was heavy. The western storm and reports

 The gayly bedecked little beasts stood patiently waiting, with large, heavy saddles, when Fernando and I entered the inn yard early the next morning. A fringed blanket shawl folded in a long roll was thrown over each pom- mel, the ends dangling fantasticallv around the fore feet. Another heavy blanket was folded over the saddle seat, from which hung the gay red fringed saddle bags. From heavy brides hung long strips of tasselled leather, which fell over the forehead and nose, a protest to the cruel, persis- tent flies. Fernando's stirrups were yellow and mine were green and as he handed me an "estock to make heem hurry," l climbed astride my little steed and led the way out of the inn yard, down the wide pavement, and under the Puerto del Toledo out on the hard, white, smooth government road of fiint.-Scribner's Magazine.
