MANY WORTHLESS APPLES.
Oldtime Fruit This Year for Everybody
The Spray Pump and the
Sprayers.

With other geod things that are
happening to Willamette valley
this year, either by dispensation of
Divine Providence or a republican
congress, is the welcome fact of red
apples that are wormless. The con-
dition is true, not only of one or
chard, as in the case of George
Armstrong, but of many. There
will be more good apples in the
Willamette valley this season than
there has been in ten years, said
Robert johnson, manager of the
big prune orchard, this morning.
In our orchard scarcely wormy
apple is to be found; the spraying
has been so eficacious that 1t ought
to be an object lesson to our or
chardists to persist in application
of the cura i've next season."
Wherever the inquiry has been
| prosecuted, the answer is that the
orchards that were sprayed, are
purged of worms. The fruit is
1reSh and vigorous like 1t USED to
be in the old pioneer days when ev.
cry apple was as fair to look upon
as the blush of an Oregon maiden.
1t means that more apples will be
consumed because surroundings
them will be less of association o
worms, bugs and creepy things
It means that the man of the house
arriving late at night, can, in the
darkness, reach into the apple boz
without danger of seizing serpen
or swallowing a forked tonguet
boa constructor. 1t means that
spraying is as fatal to Goblin moth
as Mr.. Heney is to land exploiters
God bless the spray, the spra,
pumps and the sprayers.

DIAMOND MEN LOSE.
Are Said to Have Been Victimized to
 the Extent of $2oo,ooo.

New York, June 14-Several Maiden lane diamond merchants recently have been the victims of a s200000 gem swindie scheme, according to an attorney repre- senting one of the victims in the Tombs police court today. The announcement was made during the arraignment of Con- rad Schlckerling who said he was man. ufacturing jeweler and who had been ar rested on a charge of stealing s60oO. The complainant against ochickerling is Gus tave Edelhoff a member of the bankrupt jewelry firm of Edelhoff Bros.
 According to the complaint against Schickerling the prisoner went to Edel- hoff on January 24 and said he needed lot of diamonds to complete a lorgnette chain ordered by a prominent banker of this city. Edelhoff agreed to supply the gems and procured them on memo- randum. He alleges that Schickerling did not settle with him and when pressed for payment admitted that he pawned the gems for s4O0O. It cost Edelhoff s600O to redeem them and they were then return ed to the dealer who held Edehoff's mem orandum Edelhoff's counsel said other diamond dealers had been vctimized and that their losses would amount to $200,-

that both sides realized that struggle could not be long postponed. He also re- marked that Professor Mourmtseff, presi- dent of the lower house, who hitherto had checked the excursions of the radicals into unparliamentary abuse, today aban- doned the attempt and did not interfere except when they violated decorum and took this as evidence that the president also looked upon the situation as lost.
 NJ. Ptrovijesky Is now of the opinion that the sole hope lies in an appeal to the better feelings of the monarch He delivered a speech beseeehing the Elm peror to discard his evil advisers and listen to the voice of the people before 1t is too late.
 The anarchy in the government was H. lustrated by the response of minister of War to one of the interpellation.s with regard to the executions at Riga. Though Premier Goremykin had transmitted the first interpolation on the subject to the minister of war. and General Pavloff to- day responded in behalf of the ministry to similar interpellations- General Rudlger replied that the matter was not within his jurisdiction and referred it to the minister of the interior.

STORIES OF DEAN sHALER.
He Was Greatly Loved and Many
 sided Man.

Langdon Warmers appreciation of the late Dean Shaler of Harvard, in the June Worlds Work contains some character istc anecdotes of the lamented teacher who was a many sided, unforgettable man, He says When Darwin first propounded the theory of evolution, he eagerly grasped the truth, and championed it even against the teachings of his master Agassiz, whom he greatly revered. A young man of the new school of scien- lists thought to trick him into an incon- sistency, and pointed out that evolution must unsettle the beliers of a man who accepted Christianity. Proressor Shaler turned to him and said:
 q believe in Christianity, and believe in this evolution Then he quoted from the Book of Job Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out"
 The Cambridge hospital, the college in flrmary and even the police court were subject to frequent and sudden visits from him. If one of his boys was in trouble for breaking lamps or mocking at the
 majesty of the law, Dean Shaler would very respectfully ask leave from the judge to speak, and then proceed to up the case, deliver judgment and discharge the prisoner. all by virtue of the authori- ty in him invested as father and friend to every one present, the judge and the police sergeant included.
 In the hospital he would pull up beside ! bed, feel pulse, diagnose the case, tell the boy that he heard good reports of his work. and then fall into violent dispute with the doctor on the effects of anti-toxine on diphtheria.
 As dean of the Scientific school no freshman chafed more at the rules than he. He wanted to put up the office shut ters occasionally; that he might be able to go and have a look at the river ter races of the Ohio Valley. or drop down to Washington and talk national politics.
 A fine day in the spring of the year would set him literally skipping for joy. He was a tireless walker. It was a fine sight to watch him up the road waving his stick as he emphasized an argument with some friend. He literally talked miles with his companions. One boy said: ''He swung the English langua ge round his head and never felt the vyeight'

BER WIND BEFORE
 THE COMMISSION
E, ]. BERWlND IS GREATLY DIS APPOINTED THAT HE WAS NOT CALLED UPON, AS HE CAME ALL THE WAY FROM EUROPE.

Philadelphia June 14.-Assurances of every assistance in its investigation were given the interstate commerce commission today by E. j. Berwind, head of the Ser wind-White Coal company.
 Berwind and his brother, John E. Ber- wind, were present at todays session and the latter was examined by MT Glasgow who stated. however, that he was not yet ready to call E. ]. Berwind. This was not pleasing to the latter who said to the newspaper reporters that he re- turned from Europe for the express pur- pose of appearing before the committee, and had curtailed his trip for no other purpose.
 The commission decided to suspend the investigation until next Tuesday, when it will be resumed In Washington, at which time Mr. Glasgow had requested the presence of E. J. Berwind.
 The most important testimony given by J. E. Berwind was his statement that during the time rebates were the custom he had no reason to believe the Berwnd- White company was favored over other shippers and that he believed the estimat- ed weights were fair both to the coal com pany and to the railroad. He admitted also that when the Berwind- White con- pany entered the competition for the steamship trade 1t was assisted so far as was possible by the Pennsylvania Rail- road company. He said further that 1t was not possible for steamships to suffer in the matter of charges by reason of the fact that the coal was shipped to liar sinus until weighed, because the coal loaded into bunkers, was weighed by the bucket by steamship company employees.
 oscar Knipe. auditor of freight re- ceipts of the Pennsylvania railroad, was questioned at length concerning the charges for Harsimus coal. He said that all freight must be paid for in advance, and that when coal shipped by other com panes was weighed at Altoona the freight charges were paid. and If there was any loss before the coal reached its destination the claim was investigated and if correct paid through the claims department. In the case of Berwind-White coal, estimated weight of 107,000 pounds per car was charged. and of this amount 100, 900 pounds were prepaid at Altoona. An additional bill was rendered by the railroad for the remaining 1000 pounds. and the adjustment of losses was made from their account

TRAGEDY UNDER THE SEA.
Fate of Diver Whose Helmet Came
 Unfastened.

Cape Town Correspondence London
 Chronicle.
 An accident which is described as with out precedent In the history of diving operations has been the subject of mag isterial inquiry at Simonstown. Two divers, Kraming and Macphail, were at work at some levels on the new dock yard works at Simonstown. They were working at a depth of about fifty feet and, though they did not go down to- gether, they met under water and were. it appeared from the evidence. discussing by means of signs the position in regard to the levels on which they were working
 According to the statement of the sur vivor, Macphail, he saw his companions 8 helmet suddenly fly off. In this desper- ate position the drowning man clung to Macphail, who gave the signal to the boat overhead to haul in and the two men were drawn up to within ten feet of the surface. At this point the hauling ceased the men in the boat being unable to raise the heavy weight further. and Macphail was compelled to loose his hold on his drowning comrade, who sank to the bot tom. The other man reached the boat, and immediately went down again, but Kraming was lying face downward on the bottom, and was dead when they finally got him to the surface.
 No explanation was forthcoming of how 1t was possible for the mans helmet to come unfastened. It was stated to have been adjusted properly when he entered the water and the two divers were said to have been on perfectly good terms no question as to the possibility of foul play being raised. The verdict was simply that the man was drowned, but the magistrate confessed that the manner in which the helmet came unfastened remained a mys- tery

DoWIE SEES VISIONS.
Says He Sees Pyrotechnic Displays, Accompanied By Sweetest Music.

Chicago, June 14-Pyrotechnic displays during the night accompanied by the sweetest music imaginable were some of the manifestations of the divine being visited upon John Alexander Dowie &C., cording to hls statement today on the wit ness stand before Judge Landis in the trial of the first apostle for competency.
 Dowie being cross examined by Attor- ney Newman for Wilbur Glenn Voliva. successor of Dowie at Zion City. Attorney Newman led Dowie into a long and de- tailed explanation of how he witnessed these displays, heard the music and once saved a ship from wreck with prayer. Newmans object was to show that Dowie has never been mentally right; that as a result of his mental condition he saw these visions. and that he is not a proper person to head an institution of the Church of Zion City, and the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church of Zion City.
 Attorneys for Dowie will combat the attempt by Attorney Newman to show signs of insanity on the part of Dowie.

Mistakes in Identification.

From the Washington Star.
 Some of the army officers in Washing ton who are experienced in the ways of the Filipino entertain great doubt as to the accuracy of the report that the celebrated Moro leader, Datto All, was really killed, as reported, and they are disposed to give some credence to the latest cable news from Manila to the effect that the supposed dead man has turned up. They are fortified in their belief by recalling the case of the noto- rious bandit, Felizardo, who was the ter TOT of Cavite Province even during the days of Spanish occupation of the Phil ippines. That man had ben guilty of crimes so atrocous that the Philippine government offered reward of 5000 for his body, dead or alive The constabulary was stimulated into hike" and after a desperate fight in the jungle brought in what was declared to be the body of Felizardo. It was, in fact identified by number of Filipinos. and the reward was paid to the men who declared they had killed him.
 Three months later some of the bri- gand's relatives who had quarreled with him told the authorities that he was alive and they could disclose his whereabouts So some Filpinos started after him, and this time they succeeded in killing tho outlaw. The government had to pay the reward a second time.
 Another case in point was that of a sol dier of the Twenty-third infantry. He disappeared after a fight and was set down as a deserter to the enemy. The chaplain was not satisfied and had some of the bodies of the men killed in action exhumed. One of these was clad in Amer ican clothing, so the record was changed and the man was set down as killed in action. Three months later the soldier came into camp. He had been captured while drunk in the company of some dis solute women and carried off a prisoner by the insurrectionists.

St. Petersburg, June 14-The feeling of gloom pervading the leaders of the mod crate wing of the constitutional demo- cratic party over the prospect for a peaceful outcome of the struggle between the government and parliament has been deepened by the events of today's ses- sion of the lower house.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press talking tonight with such leaders as Joseph Kessen. editor of the Reich, l.. J. Pitrojivsky the Polish member for St. Petersburg; Professor Grodeskul, vice president of the lower house and Profess sor Milukoff, found a spirit of the pro- foundest pessmism regarding the outlook.
 Professor Gordeskpl who though elected to parliament while in banlshment has steadily expressed himself as hopeful that the government and parliament would be able to reconcile their differ ences today held out only the slightest vestige of hope. He called attention to the addresses of General Pavloff, the procurator, and the deputies as showing
