BEEF PRICES SOAR.

Hartford, Sept 27. The wholesale dealers in beef have raised the price again, and Hartford retailers are pay ing them one cent more pound for beef than they did last week, So far the local dealers have not advanced the price to customers, but as another raise on the part of the wholesalers is expected soon, it is probable that the consumers will feel the increase in the near future.

The RECOUNT

AS predicted by the West Virgin.
ian on Saturday, the recount asked
for amounted to nothing. The ballots
had been very carefully gone over by
the commissioners and the Democratic
election officers were satisfied before
the returns were made. Especially
was this true in the Fifth ward in
which a recount was demanded on the
vote FIR councilmen. The only thing
ordinarily that comes from recount
is different Interpretation OF the In.
tent Of the voter, which sometimes IS
very difficult to determine. Nothing
startling was anticipated except in
the overheated Imagination OF sensa.
tIon mongers. Most of the irregularities
alleged 70 occur at voting places are
found to exist In the brain Of some
writer Or political dope for an unre.
liable paper. Election officials in near.
ly all instances try to live up to their
oaths and do things on the square,
The officials in charge OF the recent
election in this city were no excep
ton to the general rule. An investi.
CATION showed their work to have
been well done.

mors among the gabblers Is that ex-

sngch truth there is in the report is

MAJOR BLUES DEATH MAY
HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTAL

GRAFTON. March ga number of
circumstances have come to light that
would indicate that Major F. Bruce
Blue. late postmaster, did not shoot
himself with suicidal intent. but that
his death was brought about by the
accidental discharge of shotgun.
1t is known that neighbors told him
a few days before the end came tina,
marauders were freqaenting the lot on
which his residence stands and that
he replied that he would "fll them
with bullets should they come around
again.
1t is thought that Major Blue also
heard marauders and got up and prob
ably with his gun scared them away
and returned to his bedroom. Their

The Creates. Of Circles.

Editorial In the New York Sun.
The intended peregrinations and OF
fetal Eyrations Of the Secretary Of
War possess much interest for philoso
piers. Mr.. Taft expects to start mex,
Saturday for Gatun Dam and else
where. Common report has in store
for this diligent public servant and
intrepid traveller an amazing series OF
succession Of journeyings, between
now and the beginning of the Presi
dental year, which will take him 10
Panama. Colch, Cuba, Porb Rico,
Canada, Alaska. the Philippines, Guam
and Tntufia, with brief intervals oil
domestic employment.
Other candidates, active or passive
have swung around their chosen cir
Giles; no circle was ever drawn with
a radius anything like this.
We note one thing, however. about
the Taft itinerary distinguishing II
from all precedent ana previous expe.
rienec even more signally than thu
matter of mere distance. We refe,
to the paucity of delegates. In ell
these tens of thousands of miles o.
campaigning we can discern not more
than eighteen possible votes In the
convention, and the Recording Angel
well knows that six of these are al
ready for Cannon.
No delegates WORTH speaking of
anywhere between Gatun and Guam!
That is why we SAY this particular
itinerary has fascinating interest
for the philosophical mind.

Fruit Market in
A Fruit Country
GREAT CHANCE FOR THE PRO.
DUCT or AMERICAN GAMER.
les IN ASIA MINOR.

| u r
WASHINGTON. March 20: The
idea Of sending fruit to a country
which produces all sorts Of fruits, es.
pecially fgs and oranges in abund.
anee, may seem strange. but Consul
E. L. Harris. at Smyrna, sends re.
port to the Bureau Of Manufactures
that there Is a great opening In smyr-
ma and, indeed, throught Asia Minor
for the sale. of American canned friits
Of every description.
The foreign residents in Smyrna
have established depots in that place
to supply them with great many Of
the canned vegetables and fruits. and
other things TO which they are accus.
toned at home. The English and Ger.
man residents residing in Smyrna buy
largely in these stores of sauer kraut.
sausages, pickles, herrings. mush.
rooms asparagus, canned fruit Of ev.
cry description. cheese, syrups. etc,
and these goods come almost exclu-
sively from England and Germany.
The American CONSUL says that the
opportunity for trade in American
canned goods in Smyrna Is excellent.
Although there is fruit in abundance.
with the exception of few vineyards
and orchards near the city Of Smyrna,
everything grows wild.
A rational system OF gardening,
fruit growing, or farming is absolute
" unknown in that country. There is
not canning factory between Smyrna
and the Persian Gulf. 1t is impossi.
BILE to estimate how much fruit drops
from the trees and rots on the ground
each year for want of picking or com.
1aunication with the nearest market.
This is the reason why there is mar.
ket for American canned fruit in
Smyrna, and there always will be one
until there is radical, change in the
method of culture and preservation of
fiuit In Asia Minor.
Although there are a great many
marmaiades, tellies and jams sold in
Smyrna they are chiefly brought from
England. Soups, deviled meats, can,
ned entrees in the consul's opinion
could also be introduced. American
fruit concerns have opened depots in
many European cities which have met
with abundant SUCCESS. Small guam
titles of these products have found
their way Into Smyrna. but Consul
Harris says that systematized effort
to push the sale of American canned
goods in Asia Minor will be well re
warded.
