THE WORLDS WONDER
Every Country and Cline Contribute
to Feed the Wealthy Denizens

Most wonderful of all the markets
IN the world are those of the metrop
Oils. People who visit New York rare
ly go to see them. That is a great
mistake. Nowhere else is to be seen
such bewildering variety, such a
complete assortment, not only of ma
tive products, but also of delicacies
culled from gardens in the for cor
ners OF the world and fished out OF the
seven seas. Here are veritable ranges
or mountains of smoked and fresh
killed meat, products of nearby pas
lures and the distant prairies, of the
lowlands of the south and of the game
farms OF France Here are parsley
from Bermuda, green peppers found
IN Java, turtles from the tropical isles
or the Caribbean, nuts gathered in the
Orient, salad green's raised in Cali
fornia, leeks garnered in the metro
politan annex known as Long Island
lemons plucked in Sicilian groves,
Florida pineapples, grapefruit just in
IRON Jamaica, clusters of prime grapes
nOurlshed in the hothouses of England
and Belgium, lettuce from greenhouses
near Boston and artichokes from the
plantations of Algerian Moors. Over
there sea food is bought and sold by
the Whitefish, bluefish, moonfish.
red snapper halibut, smelts, haddock.
IN short, every edible inhabitant of
ocean and river brook and lake. There
are rafting heaps of live crabs and
lobsters, near tanks where imported
sole are swimming about; while mon
ster green turtles, weighing from 100
to 400 pounds EACH snort and groan
as II they knew that within the next
tWenty-four hours some of them would
be in the soup.
This natural history exposition. ais
it might be called-this most remark
able of the worlds markets-is typi-
cal OF the changes that may have come
over the metropolis in the last ten or
fifteen years. In former days people
were content for the most mart to
take things as they came along, sea-
son by season; but nowadays there
is no waiting for seasons. The big
hotels and fashionable restaurants
that accommodate not only New York
ers but the throngs of visitors ALWAYS
surging up and down the city have
created constant demand for almost
every known article of food. and
hence this marvelously complete and
abundant supply. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that nearly every dish
known to the civilized world is served
on New York tables. The result is
that the markets of New York are
a miniature representation of all the
markets of the world.
Hardly anything is "out of season"
in the metropolis. Milk-fed SPRING
lambs are supplied in mid-winter from
hothouses in New Jersey. In the DAYS
when the apple crop of the east was
sufficient for the local needs the best
apples were grown in western New
York; but today, as the result of an
increasing demand, the apple supply
is transported from orchards scattered
up and down the whole length of the
continent and Of all tho apn1o., fb,,c

BOYCOTT HELPS CANADA
DOMINION HUsTLEs TO SECURE
CHINESE TRADE.
American Flour Could be Sold Cheap

pete on More Equal Terms.

Ottawa, Ont.-Canada is waking up
to the trade opening in China caused
by the Chinese boycott of United
States products. Shipments of Cana
dian flour and other goods for Chinese
ports are going out by every steamer
from Canada's Pacific coast ports
Before the boycott, Canada's exports
to China were scarcely worth mention
ing, but prospects now are good for
heavy shipments during the present
year.

Increasing Their Output


American flour, made from wheat
grown on the Pacific slope and of
coarser grades than the hard varieties
OF the more distant Canadian North
west could be delivered and sold at
Chinese ports cheaper than the Cana
dian product, but the British Columbia
and Alberta mills are now able to
compete with United States shippers
on more equal terms Alberta milers
are increasing their output by thou
sand barrels a day and agents of
British Columbia and Alberta mills
who have returned from China bring
large orders and report prospects
bright not only for Canadian wheat
flour, which is in great demand, but
for Canadian products generally in
place of boycotted cargoes from the
United States.

pIaut Is Under ControI of Receiver ReynaIhs mud Problem Arises ms to Disposition of
 prfxouerm.

Arrangements are making by the members of the Convict Board of In spectors and T. J. Reynolds. who was appointed on Wednesday as receiver of the Alabama Cordage Company. for the return of the fifty-one State prisoners who were leased at the Montgomery camp, to the custody of the State.
 The presence of the prisoners Tn the plant of the cordage Company created a problem for the receiver yesterday With the appointment by Judge Thom- as c Jones of Mr. Reynolds to take charge of the affairs of the concern, the operation of the plant ceased, and the convicts were left idle. By the terms of their sentences, the prisoners of the State, all those who are phys ically able. are required to serve out their terms at hard labor.
 y The problem of the situation. how ever, lies in the feeding of the men According to the contract between the State and the Alabama Cordage Com pany. the latter was bound to supply its convict labor with food and lodg- ing. With the cessation of the life of the company, 1t was without power to take any action with regard to its labor This devolved upon the re- ceiver who, on the other hand. is in company. Pursuing the matter fur ther, the State cannot supply the con victs with rations so long as the con- tract with the cordage company re- mains unbroken. and 1t must so re- main until the Department shall have been officially informed of the bank

continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physi- clans propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the req son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease.
 This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre- spending with Mrs Pinkham, daughter in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from ehcr great knowledge. obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician.
 Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. Willadsen of Manning Ia. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
 1T can truly say that you have saved my fife, and cannot express my gratitude in words. Before l wrote to you telling you how felt, had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I had female trouble andwould daily have faint ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. wrote to you for your ad- vice and received q letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and have been restored to peT4ect health Had it not been for you would have been in my grave to-day"

THE MAYOR EFOnED
CITY COUNCIL FAILS TO UPHOLD
 HIM IN FIGHT.
Pensacola Executive Believes That Water Works Company Has Vfe- lated fits Charter-TuE Wiimot
 Resumes It's Voyage.

PensacoIa. Fla, August 9.--The eff fort of Mayor Charles H. Bliss to am null the charter of the Pensacola Water Company, has failed, for the reason that the members of the City Council did not take the same view af the matter as the mayor.
 For some months the mayor has been making public statements to the enect that the water company was not com plying with it's franchise. and recent iv ha ordered the company to equip it's plant with automatic shut -en valves in order that the water supply might be shut off at moments notice from the stand pipe and tanks ana water pumped directly into the mains. He stated that the charter of the com pany provided that 1t should equip itself with proper means for shutting off the water supply In case or nres. and when he learned that such waq not being done. and that the company had not carried out the provisions or It's charter by maintaining certain water pressure. he sent q recommend atIon to the city ynconneil that the body institute suit for the ainulment or tie charter and to make provision for the erection of frst-class water plant, money for which Is already on hand.
 This recommendation was read at the meeting Of the councu held lase night, but was referred to the Water Committee. 1t being the sense of that body that civil engineer was now engaged In examining. the plant with a view of the city purchasing the same and that the city did not care to engage in litigation with the company at this time. Tn. regard to the auto matic shout-off valves the council pas sed a resolution ordering the company to at once Install the necessary ma chinery.

ruptcy proceedings In the United state.

Court.
 Yesterday the idle prisoners were supplied at the direction of Receiver Reynolds. The latter also notified pr. Shirley Bragg of the Convict Depart ment of the condition of affairs. and in the afternoon mailed him an ofpcial
 notification of the fact that the Cord age Company is no longer a live com cern. This letter Is expected to reach the Department at the Capitol today. when action may be taken by which the State may regain possession of the convicts. Until the re-trsnsfer of the prisoners, however, they are sub-
 ject to the generosity of the receiver for their rations What he does will not be required, but will be done pure Ny through the dictates of humanity.
 Just what disposal will be made of the convicts thus released from con tract has not yet been decided It IS probable that a meeting of the Board of Convict Inspectors will be held in few days to determine upon their dis position. They may be re-let to other contractors, or they may be sent tenn porarily to one of the State prisons. The convictf Department frequently has calls upon it for convicts to be let under contract. it being the usual con dition of affairs that there are more requests for convict labor than can be supplied.
