SCARCITY OF FRUIT
is WORST IN YEARS
kinds Suitable to Can Can
Hardly Be Had.
PACKERS UP AGAINST 1T.

According to a Main street grocery
man, there has never been year, since
he started in business that fruit to can
has been as scarce as this year. There
is fruit of all kinds on the market, but
not enough of it to permit the ordinary
housewives to can it for winter use.
The backward spring and unsatisfacto-
ry weather since that time are given as
reasons for the scarcity.
Wholesale fruit packing houses in
letters to local dealers say they will
not be able to fill all their orders this
year. One big packing house writes
a local dealer that it is the worst year
in its existence of sixty years. The
letter stated that it had often occurred
that one section would fail to produce
it's usual crop, but this had generally
been offset by the over supply from an
other source. No section has turned
out full crop this season, however.

Thirty-five all steel cars for the pass
enger equipment of the Pennsylvania
railroad are now being built at the AL
toona car shops. Seventeen are sew
enty-foct postal cars. Two are sixty
ty foot baggage cars. six are passenger
coaches, five of which are seventy feet
long, and ten are seventy-foot diners.
In designing these cars great care was
exercised to use all the valuable prop
critics of the material. The designs have
not merely been made by substitute
ing mechanically steel piece for each
wooden piece in the former cars. No
where is the result of this process bet
ter shown than in the new steel trucks
for they do not look anything like
their wooden predecessors. They are
stronger. however. and yet each six
wheel truck weighs only 1880 pounds.
while the six-wheel wooden truck
weighed 21,7OO pounds.-Wall Street

Site for Such at Reid Memoir
jaI Hospital Will Be Chos-
en- Saturday
is NOT FOR SMALLPOX.
CASES OF THAT NATURE WILL
STILL BE CARED FOR AT THE
PEST HOUSE WEST OF THE
CITY.

The Reid Memorial hospital board
has decided to add a contagious ward
TO the hospital and Saturday will Sc
ect the site for the building. A COM
mittee composed of John l.. Rupe, Hen
ry Deuker, George Eggemeyer, DR.. T.
Henry Davis and DR.. J. NJ Wampler,
and Architect Kaufman will make z
visit to the hospital for the purpose OF
determining where the ward shall go.
III found practical, the barn and resi-
Hence building now occupied by the
hospital janitor, may be used for the
rontagion ward. In case that it is uti-
lized, the entire inside structure will
be torn away and nothing left but the
stone walls. Sheds now built against
The structure will also be taken away
leaving nothing to indicate that the
building was ever a barn The build
Ing will be entirely disinfected if it is
used.
The barn is located at very desir-
able point, being near enough to the
main hospital building to permit of it
being heated by the central heating
plant and being easily accessible from
the driveway.
1t is desired that the contagion ward
be completed as soon as possible and
work will begin on it upon the COM
pletion of plans. The exact cost is not
known. The board desires to be as
economical as possible and to build the
ward with the money which the city
bets aside for hospital purposes.
The building will be in no sense a
pest house. No smallpox patients
will be taken to it, the ward being con-
lined to the treatment of those af-
elicted with scarlet fever, diphtheria,
typhoid fever and such. What IS
known as the pest house west of the
eity. will be used for small pox pa
Hents after the new ward is done.

ANIMAL EPiCURES.
The Crab Eating Raceoon and PeeuI-
lar Crustacean Taste.

The Crab Rating Raccoon and PecuI-
lar Crustacean Taste.
What made the crab eating raccoon
drst take to his queer diet? The
Question is suggested by a specimen of
this strange animal which has arrived
at the meEagerie and will be happy to
oblige any generous visitor with al
illustration of the quickest way to kill.
unshell and swallow crustacean with
out artificial assistance of any kind.
Doubtless the pecliiarity originated i'll
the shore freeueEting habits of the
species, and. being a delicate feeder,
the succulenee Of the crab, once crack
ed, was an obvious inducement to re-
new his acquaintance on every posi-
bic occasion. Originally probably a
fruit eater, the raccoon is inquisitive
and dainty, both strong incentives to
experiments in diet When an indi
vidual sees a small object he does not
understand, his actions fall under
three headings. He first puts the
article to close scrutiny, both with his
eyes and that supercilious upturned
nose Of his; then he takes 1t away and
washes it-a very characteristic action
ly puts 1t to the grand test of eatabie-
ness or otherwise. II 1t appears I'M
palatable, he gives 1t to his wife. In
this way It is easy to imagine how the
creek loving coon, wearying of too
much fruit. made his first crab supper
and, though he has never been able TO
add squeeze of lemon or brown
bread and butter to the repast, has be-
come a confirmed lover ~ crustacea
ever since. All creatures make expert
ments of the sort and occasionally car
ry them on until they become a fixed
habit, and their whole structure is
modified in accordance. Nature, for
instance. never intended the osprey to
live on fish. 1t was the temptation Of
an old world trout in difficulties in
the shadows that first led the great
hawk astray. Some small Brazilian
monkeys. again, live almost exclusive.

has given up n proper vegetarian diet
for an exclusive regimen of mutton.
and many other instances of the same
appetites might be cited.

The Punishment Of Man Eater This,
Killed a TiSctan.

Killed TiSctan.
Fifty years ago tigers were very com
mon even in the high hills of westerl
Tibet, writes c. A. Shsrring n his &c
count of that country. At the present
time, however, owing to the increase
of population and the general spread OF
cultivation, they have become rare.
and the appearance of man eater
who carried of poor old woman Or
the slope Of Chipla created consterna-
ton
On the following day there were
gathered together a hundred grim men
armed only with axes and stones, for
they had not gun among them.
Fortune favored the brave, for the
tiger was found asleep under a rock.
At once each man dropped silently into
the cover of the brushwood and piled
a heap of stones near to his hand.
while one of the most trusted of the
party was commissioned to stalk to
the top Of the rock and drop n huge
stone on the sleeping brute.
So we'll was the work done that the
stone fell true on the tigers back, and
Immediately, with roar, the wounded
beast sprang up and. seeing his enc
mics, who leaped from their cover,
charged the line.
But hundred men. desperate as to
consequences, throwing stones with
might and main, are not to be awed or
turned from their purpose lightly. The
stones broke the tigers teeth and went
into his mouth, and his body soon be-
came mass of wounds.
Turning, he tried to escape and took
his pursuers up hill for mile, but
wherever he paused and whatever he
did he could not escape the pitiless
rain Of missiles. The blow on his back
first given, effectively checked his
speed, and finally, worn out, he came
to bay under a great cliff
The rest was easy. He was immedi-
ately hemmed in, and the stones were
showered on him thicker than ever and
hurled with redoubled energy As he
sank down the villagers rushed in and
dispatched him with their axes. -

work done by Judge Brown, introduced

The Lady OF tic Lake.


I'm the Days Of Scott there are two
anecdotes about Sir Walter Scott's
children in connection with his poem,
1.-THE Lady of the Lake.
One day his daughter was met by
James Ballantyne. the publisher, in
her fathers library and asked what
she thought of the poem. She replied
that she had not read it and added:
Papa says there is nothing so bad
for young people as reading bad
poetry"
Scott's son Walter returned from
school one day with evidences of hay
ing been engaged IN a fight His IA
Their asked him what be bad been fight
ing about. He replied that he had been
called classic" and had resented it.
A little questioning showed that
young Walters schooolfellows had
nicknamed him THE Lady Of the
Lake" which name the boy did not
understand except as a reproach to
his manliness.

fore Civil Marriage Had
Been Done ::

Carcassone, France, July 16-The
Catholic bishop of Beauvron was fin
ed $40 by a local court today for
violation of the penal code. The
charge against the bishop was that
he had performed religious mar
riage ceremony before proof of the
performance of civil ceremony had
been laid before him. The bishop
pleaded that the resignation of the
mayors of a number of cities of the
south Of France, arising from the dis
content of wine growers, had made
it impossible to have a civil cere-
mony performed. The court pointed
out that the court had ruled that the
law of separation had not abrogated
the article of the code requiring a
civil ceremony prior to the religious
ceremony. @-~r&

THE MIX-UP. in GREASER LAND

Washington, July 16-Senor Don
Jose Gomez, Nicaraguan minister of
foreign affairs, is in this city on a
special mission and late yesterday
held conference with Acting secre-
tary of State Bacon. The officials
of the state department are reticent
regarding the objects of Mr.. Gomez
visit, saying it is not matter about
which they care to talk.
1t is known that the administra-
ton is dissatisfied with the manner
in which affairs have been going on
in Central America, the feeling being
that the good faith of the various
governments should have been ex-
erted to live up to the agreement
reached through the instrum
of the United tsates about year
ago, when an agreement was signed
aboard the cruiser Marblehead.
The attitude Of the United States
regarding the sauabbles among Cen.
trail American nations continues to be
one of strictest neutrality. Such al
SO is the position OF Mexico. The de
sire Of both governments Is that
peaceful conditions should prevail
and an end be reached to the inter
necine strife in which some Of the
Central American goyernmentssseem
ed to be constantly embroi1ed.
