Johns Letter.

| We took q turn, the other day,
through George Commits two-acre or
cbard of Spies-if there are two acres.
"Fruited deep" as the Maryland Or
chards. will perhaps express 1t better
than to say that it is glimpse Of two
acres of Paradise. Well, it Is wonder
and must be seen to be appreciated.
The trees are not only bowed down with
large and handsome fruit, but the trees
themselves, many of them, have msde a
growth of Is inches. Last year he used
. quantity of special commercial fertil-
izer. think the hogs should have the
greater credit, not only the snout end OF
the hog but the end that is not shouted
any at all whatsoever.
Before buying the entire farm George
bought the orchard, paying $500 for 1t,
and many thought he was foolish. 1t
isn't one time in ten that 1t pays to be
foolish, but this particular piece OF fool
ishness has paid the fool in dollars and
cents, and am going to say $4,000, and
some odd cents. This years crop has
been sold on the trees for 800, so
hear. He has two other orchards, one
of which is of my fathers planting, and
volunteer trees scattered over the fields
and by the walls.
Well, the old farm fed me and clothed
me and made me real kind of comfort
able the first twenty years Of my life,
and that was all 1t did do. 1t is doing
the same for George, and stuffing his
bIeeches pockets with checks and things,
and we are not envious and covetous,
but are glad for him and hope the tide
will not turn and leave him stranded.
There are but few of the old native
trees left to greet me now, and none that
were favorites in boyhood days. The
ground is covered with apples under
those that are left and no doubt will
waste away. We have "peeled, cut,
cored and strung" myriads and millions
of their kindred in the autumns that
have flown, and how we hated the job
except at the pairing bees.
I don't know how the families of
Buckf1eld and other towns could have
paid their store bills had it not been for
the apples that now are of but little
worth. 1t was rich harvest for the
traders, year after year, and they grew
rich, while the farmers and their fami-
lies got along at a poor dying rate and
enjoyed life just as we'll as they do now
with big orchards and big prices.
am told that it is difficult to get
pickers and they are not all first class.
Two dollars day is usually paid, and
they get to work about 0 o'clock and
feel that they must leave work at 4
O'Clock. There was a time when men
were willing to earn their wages by
working all day and wages then were
not up in the air. 1 suppose that there
will be a class of men in the world, a
score of years from now, who will be
willing to work when they get to be so
crippled that they can't play base ball
and such-and work all day perhaps.
You may tell George that filed my
pockets with some old fashioned sweet
apples that grew on tree of my fathers
grating. I do that every chance get
and am on the lookout for chances.

LABOR HEADERS ARRESTED.

Toe members of the labor federstiye
committee, in Havana, ard others TAX
ing part in the labor movement, to the
lumber 205, were arresed yesterday
afternoon and lodged in il, bail being
refused. Instructionsl Jooge Miyeres,
in view of many charges OF vitlsrcs
and intimidation by strikers, clumirat-
iDg Thursday in the stoniDg OF working
mssons, 10 the course of which one man
was killed, concluded that the commit
lee was responsible for all the outrsges.
He ordered the secret police TO arrest
the mem Ders of the committee and ell
others present at labor meeting sched-
uled for yesterday afternoon, it being
bis theory that the latter would be there
to receive orders as to who we're to be
attacked.
A builder named Q lintsna complained
yesterday that his workmen had been as
saulted and intimidated and Emilio San
chez, the president of The federative COM
mittee, and Feliciano Pieto, its secre-
tary, we're arrested. They were released
on bail of 5000 each. Yesterday Quin-
.ana made another complaint snd Judge
Miyeres Cancelled the bail bonds and Or
dered the arrest of all members Of the
committee.
Eight secret police went to make the
arrests, but finding so many involved
they invoked the aid Of the municipal
police. 1t took three hours to transport
the prisoners from the place of meeting
to the police station 10 patrol wagons.
Thence they we're sent to jail for the
night.
The prisoners represent ell the differ
ent labor unions, but most Of them are
delegates of the striking railroad men
and masons. President Alfonso, OF the
Railway Employees Union, is among
the prisoners When the police arrived
the meeting had not been formally
opened, but they nevertheless proceeded
to arrest everybody present.
