CLERKS SUSPENDED

Fourteen Pennsylvania railroad clerks
in Philadelphia have been suspended
for borrowing money from "Shylocks"
at usurious rates of interest
The suspension was the result Of an
investigation quietly conducted by
Comptroller Riebenack, who had
learned that several of the money lend
ers We're threatening the arrest Of sew
eral young men who were in arrears
I'M settling their loans. All the clerks
save two, protested. declaring that they
had been compelled to borrow the
money on account of illness or the
death OF relatives. The two acknowl-
edged they had gone in debt to buy
Christmas presents.
All pleaded ignorance Of the rule,
which reads: IAN employees are pro-
hibited from borrowing or lendins
money at usurious rates. or haoitually
borrowing or lending money among
themselves
Employees are liable to obtain ad-
vances on their wages In case Of illness
or death I'm their families.
Mr.. Riebenack said yesterday that
the question of reinstating the suspend
ed men. who had borrowed about So
each, wouli soon be determined. In
most Of the cases. he said, there seemed
to be extenuating circumstances.

Christians generally are looking for
ward TO the coming Of Lent with its
40 days of special significance. Ash

nesday until Easter
Many persons observe the season by
abstaining from meat on Wednesdays
and Fridays and by giving up pleas
ures Children are given boxes in
which, they are expected to save their
spending money for an offering Easter
day. Grown persons, too, economize
in order that they may feel the re-
straint and be able to give more gem
erously at Easter.
Holy week forms the climax to the
season.
Good Friday, which commentaries
the crucinxion Of Christ is the most
solemn day Of the church year. The
gloom of Good Friday carries with Il
a suggestion Of the JOY and gladness

trast in the significance of Good Fri

think Of the latter day with visions Of
sunshine and blooming flowers
Yesterday, the second Sunday before

THESE ARE THE APPLE DAYS

These are the apple days. Baked
or fried for breakfast, I'm pies or
dumplings for dinner, as apple butter
or jelly for supper and in the ripe
rare state on the buffet fruit bowl all
day long, apples are being eaten by the
people Of wilmington.
Carloads Of them are coming into the
freight stations. In markets they are
to be seen 20 The right and to the left.
The corner grocer is selling them by
the quarter peck, and on the corners
the fruitseners are selling them one at
a time to the hurrying pedestrians.
Office boys are sneaking into the
telephone booths TO "chaw' them to
the core. lawyers are breaking>off the!r
sentences 10 punctuate with big bite
Of the luscious fruit, and the whole city
has the apple craze.
No one stops between the bites to
chat about apples like they used 10 do
IN the old days. when every city man
took as much pride in his assumed
knowledge Of the farm and the orchard
as the farmer now takes in his ability
to chat away hours about rapid transit
and electricity.
ing New York apples when for the
last Is years the New York spples have
been declining in quality and growing
scaroer AS long as the peddler keeps
on telling purchasers that Yes, yes;
they are New YorlSsi" the buyers viii
not wake up TO the fact that the West
is now the great apple-raising section
OF the country.
The peddlers, and even the conscien-
tious grocer. can tell you that the aD-
pies "come from" New York without
falsifying, for it is a matter Of fact
that the reputation of New York; ap-
pies stil survives TO such an extent
that from all over the West shippers
find it profitable to send their crops to
New York and there have them dis
trituted to points in the South.
OF course. i'm New Yo'6 state there
are the largest facilities for storing
anl keeping apples. There. too, are
the apple kings" whose money goes
halfway between the raisers I'm the
West and the consumers in all parts OF
the East and soutE Most Of these
ample kings are meh who have made
their original fortunes out Of New
York apples but now, as the West Is
/ driving out the industry, have taken ui
the financing Of the business
While the Baldwins and the North
ern Spies used to be the greatest varie'
ties, the Missouri Ben Davis variety
is now sold 20 barrels TO one Of th'
/ Spies. The Spies will bring a littl
higher price, but as a rule the Bel
Davis are the better.
The most delicious, in the opinion a
many apple connoisseurs, is the Yves
Virginia pippin. This lacks the jovia
red cheeks Of the New York and West
ern apples. but when the best OF IN
variety IS struck 1t has lusciousnes
that none other can beat Many Of th
tpippins go 10 Europe, and for man.
years apples Of this variety have beel
served TO kings and queens.
