NEW YORK LAWYERS
Come 10 Town Trying 10 Gel
 Cases Against Trolley Co.

Anne York, Gussie Denisayage
 and Annie Coleman, all residents of
 Brooklyn, were injured in the collis-
 ion of a freight car and trolley car at the Bank street crossing on June |3. It is said that Miss York and
 Miss Denisavage were quite badly
 hurt. Some New York lawyers
 heard of the accident and proceeded to get business out of it. One of them came to town a week ago with his wife and induced Miss Denisav- age to take up her residence in New York, guaranteeing her, of course, proper medical attention. It seems that this lawyer is under the im- pres1ion he can bring suit against the trolley company in New York and get heavier damages from a jury there than he could in this state It is said also that he has offered to take care of Miss York there also, but it seems she prefers to take her chances with the local courts. It is a question with local lawyers if the company can be sued in New York state, it's head offices being in this state.

THE LEACH ESTATE
Mayor Thoms Wants an Order
 Served on the Administrator.

Mayor William E. Thoms occupied the attention of Judge R. A. Lowe in the probate court for an hour yesterday afternoon. He asked for an order to have Robert K. Leach, son of the late Henry Leach, who kept a rubber goods store on South Main street, file an inventory of the property as 1t was on April 21. The mayor, representing creditors of the Leach estate, claims that the store Is now actually in the possession of the filling Rubber Goods Go of Bank street. Furthermore, that on April 16, the late MT Leach filed in the town clerks office a certificate of intention to sell his store to the Milling company and that on April 21 he died and the store is now held by the latter. The property, he con tends, is needed by the creditors and that the sale is void. The hearing will be resumed later. The estate is worth about $4,000.

MONEY IN APRICOT PITS.
Substitute for AImonds-Big Profit in
 Them for 6alearic Islands.

A recent increase in the price of almonds has caused a new tide of economy and much money is being made in the Balearic islands in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain by the sale of the kernels of apricots, says the New York Sun. There is a huge demand for them in England and Germany, where they are used as a substitute for almonds in candy and in cheap grades of buildings and pastry.
 The fruit is cultivated in the Ba- learic islands on an enormous scale to be preserved in various styles. Until recently the stones, when the pulp was removed from them, were treated as refuse. Children pick out the kernels and they are dried and packed for shipment after the regular preserving season is over, thus pro- longing the wage-earning period of the people.
 Last year Majorca alone produced 50,000 cases of apricot kernels, weigh ing about 200 pounds each case. There are both bitter and sweet kernels. The price of the sweet ones rose from about SIS case in 1906 to about $27 last year. The bitter ones are consid- erably cheaper.

TREE FROG A WEATHER SHARP
Animal Whose Meteorological Repu-
 tation Science Has Not Damaged.

Few animals have survived the attacks made by science on their rep utation as weather prophets. The green tree frog is conspicuous ex- ception.
 He is to be sure, a croaking pro- phet. but plenty of people still pin their faith to him. Even so scien- tific a journal as Symons's Meteor ological Magazine has kind word to say of this little animal.
 In many houses the frog is kept in a bottle half filled with water and provided with a lader. ana the little fellow is carefully watched as to his behavior in uncertain condi- tions of the atmosphere. 4 number of weather maxims are based upon his posture and activity.
 If he remains on one of the lowest steps of the ladder it is considered a sure sign that bad weather Is com ing. If he emerges from the water and rests upon the steps above 1t fine weather may be expected. and the higher he sits on the steps the finer the weather is sure to be. He is also supposed to give warning of bad weather by croaking loudly be- fore a storm.
 The magazine says that there is really some reason to believe that the green tree frog is somewhat ex- perienced as regards climatic con- ditions and acts accordingly. In fine weather he skips about among the branches of trees. when at liberty. catching files. At the approach of winter he seeks the water and finds himself a bed in the mud until the following spring calls him out to re- sume his war on the flies.
 Now the frog on the ladder with out doubt watches the weather con- ditions keenIy and rises to look out for flies when the circumstances seem favorable On the other hand. when the weather Is cold and damp he is reminded Of winter and instinctive- Iy retires to bury his sorrows in the imaginary mud which he seeks at the bottom of his prison.

BEER GOING SOUTH.
Southerners Beginning to Use It as
 A Beverage Now,

Washington. D. C., July 11.-With the invention of the manufacture of ice beer has begun its march southward as a beverage. Vice-Consul General Albert de Baer reports from Mexico that the manu- facture and consumption of beer has had a remarkable growth in that country during the last few years. There are now between five and six millions of dollars invested in brew cries in the republic of Mexico. The machinery used in the breweries comes mostly from the United States. the malt from the United States and Germany. and the hops from Bohemia and Germany. The government fav- DTS the industry very much. believing that beer promotes temperance. A company in the City of Mexico that engaged in the making of malt from American and Canadian barley has been privileged by the government to import this grain free of duty.
 According to Consul General c. E. Anderson. in Rio de Janeiro. the consumption of beer has ben increas- ms EANA AA0u9A.
