Philadelphia. Feb. 10.-Lyndenhurst, the country estate of John Wafa maker, was destroyed by fire Friday evening. The expensive furnfshings, with the execution of probably several thousand dal'ors' worth of paintings. were all ruined Half dozen fire companies were powerless because the water supply. was frozen up. The loss is about $1,500,000.
 Mr Wanamaker and family live in Philadelphia in the winter and tho country estate is in charge of a care taker. The estate covers more than 30 acres of the old York road
 When 1t was seen that the building was doomed efforts were made to save the many valuable oil paintings in the art gallery and the costly furniture and statuary. Bremen and policemen made their way into the burning build ing and at great risk of falling glass and burning embers pulled many of the most valuable paintings from the walls and carried furniture, staruary. bric-a-brac, cut glass and art objects from the house These they piled in- discriminatelv In the IS inches of snow on ;he Lymdenhnrst lawns Many thousands of dollars worth of art ob ects were saved in this manner. Among the paintings saved were Munkacsy's Christ Before Pilate" and Christ in Calvary valued at $250,000.
 The fire was spectacular one and attracted thousands from Jenkintown, Wyncote, Ogdens. Abingdon, EllSins Park and Oakland The glare lit up the skies for miles and was visible in the northern parts of Philadelphia. Many suburbanites. attired in dinner and thcater clothes. gave up their en: agreements and rushed to the fire. They stood in the snow until the work of destruction was completed. At o'clock the flames were pouring from every tower and window. By mid night the place was mass of ruins Former Postmaster General John Wanamaker said Saturday he thought that sI.500.000 Is a fair estimate of the damage. The treasures in the
 hoise had been gathered from all parts of the world. Among those de- sffosed was Mir. Wanamaker's. collec- lion of rare books. picked up in many oous'ries: Mrs. Wanamakers coilec- ton of China. valuable tapestries,
 rare old French and English pottery and antique furniture which cannot | be replaced Most of the statuary, sculptured by men who died cen tlries ago. was also ruined.

Secret Investigation of Trusts.
Special to the World.

opetldl W the NOIlu.
WASHINGTON, May Although
very little noise is being made about
it, the government is now conducting
series of Investigations covering the
operations of the largest industries
in the United States. Sugar, steel,
oil, tobacco, or at least the trusts that
are supposed to control the produc-
ton and sale of the articles named,
are all feeling the probe of the feder-
al trust buster. The trust buster is
Herbert Knox Smith, United States
Commissioner of Corporations.
The bureau of corporations is the
publicity agency of the government;
it collects evidence upon which future
prosecutions are based. This was
what was done in the case of the beef
trust and of Standard Oil. The bu-
reau of corporations, or more proper
ly speaking, the commissioner of
corporations, started the ball rolling,
and Standard Oil was hailed into
court and indicted on more than a
thousand counts. 1t was upon evil
dence collected by the commission
er of corporations that the beef trust
found itself confronting prosecutions
in the courts of the land
President Roosevelt once designat-
ed the tobacco trust as a bad tru-t.
The tobacco trust became unpopular
some years ago. II was charged that
it ran its small competitors out of
business. During the national cam
paign the tobacco trust got into some
sort of q tangle over political con-
trihutions. 1t was charged that the
trust offered one of the parties a
large amount of money. in the event
that if the candidate of that party
was successful at the polls, the trust
would not be disturbed AS the
story goes the candidate in question
refused to permit his managers to
accept any money bearing the odor of
nicotine All of these things were
bad enough for the tobacco trust,
but its worst piece of luck came
when the operations were subjected
to the close scrutiny of the govern-
ment trust buster. The trust buster

FROST KILLS CHERRY CROP
Apples in the PalOuse Have Proba bly,
Escaped Injury.

COLFAX, May 1.-The two heavy
frostS Saturday and Sunday nights
have nearly wiped out the cherry
crop in this county and destroyed
thousands of dollars worth of fruits
generally. Sweet cherries are entir-
ely destroyed in quite every section
as they We're sufficiently far advanced
to receive the injury. Peaches and
pears have been hurt very materially
both in this section and on the Snake
river. Apples are not hurt much as
they were hardly advanced enough to
be nipped by the frost.
The greatest damage was done
along the Snake river where the fruit
was farther advanced. fruit growers
tn that section losing larger por-
ton of their crop of all kinds of
fruit. 1t is estimated that quite 80
per cent of the crop has been de-
stroyed. George Reudy, proprietor
of the Colfax nursery, stated that
while cherries were all gone and
peaches and pears hurt badly, the
peach and pear crop had promised SO
unusually large that there would be
fair crop of fruit, although not in
abundance I'VE could lose half of
the crop of peaces and pears and
still have a fair crop said Mr..
Reudy.

FORESTRY BUREAU
IS REORGAN|zED
Four Main Departments Will Have
Charge Of the WOrk-14
Minor Divisions.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The for
estry bureau has been reorganized in
manner similar to the force of a
railway corporation, with systemati-
zation of work and division of re-
sponsibility among the divisions.
which will enable the transaction of
immensely more business than here
tofore.
The administration of SO large an
area as that now embraced in the ma
tional forests, between 140,000,O0O
and 15O,0O0,00O acres@is an i'm.
mense undertaking. Ever since the
service has had control of the forests
the requirements of administration
have steadily increased. Though the
earlier organization of the work was
changed several times in order to
simplify the conduct of business, it
at last became necessary for the sake
make more thorough going redistri-
button of the various lines of activity
and to reduce the number of heads
who report to the forester.
2 The organization which has now
been superseded had ten offices, each
of which reported directly to the
chief of the service. According to the
new chart there are but four main
branches. and the Offices, which are
redistributed under the branches,
number IA. The forester and the as
sociate forester stand at the head of
the organization.
In the Office of tbs forester are
several lines of work, namely law,
information, dendrology and inspec-
ton. The four great branches are
silviculture, products, operation and
grazing. The branch of silviculture,
as the name implies, has to do with
the forests as wood producer. The
branch of products includes both all
questions of wood utilization and the
publication of the results of the work
Of the service. The branch of graz
ing permits and the regulation of the
range in the national forests. The
branch of operation includes ac-
counts, organization, engineering.
maintenance and lands.
Each of the several offices which
report that the branches has a num-
Der of sections, charged each with
some definite branch Of the work.
There are SO such branches.

EXPECT A LARGE FRUIT CROP
Indications Are That High Prices
WIFI Also Rule.

NORTH YAKIMA, April So
Fruit men who have followed close
II the crop conditions for this year,
have arrived at the conclusion that
conditions were never more favor
able for a bumper crop. and it is a
safe guess that prices will reach a
higher mark than than they ever
have known. Commission men and
expert buyers have sent inquiries re-
garding the crop prospects here, be-
ing especially interested because fruit
will be scarce in other places as
frosts have damaged the trees and

gum shoes, and is so smooth that he
can walk over piano board mile

bacco trust, which is engaging most
of the time and attention of Com
missioner of Corporations Smith
feels assured that its business meth
DDS will soon be laid bare to the pub
lie and it does not relish the thought.
Two or three years ago the COM
missioner of corporations began
looking into the methods of the su-
gar trust to ascertain just how that
combination was enabled to control
prices and regulate the output, in
fact, to ascertain just how much SUI
gar, an article of every day necessitv
in every household in the United
States came to fall into the hands
of what practically amounts to a
monopoly, and if such monopoly
could be broken or controlled by the
laws on the statute books The an
nouncement is made that the report
of the commissioned of corporations
in the operations of thes ugar trust
will soon be given to the public.
Whether suit in the courts will be
instituted remains to be SEEN
Although 1t is not generally known
Standard Oil is still under investiga-
ton by the commissioner of corpora
tions. The report on that concern
ago had to do only with its relation
to the railroads. Commissioner Smith
is now inquiring into the manage
ment and conduct of Standard Oil,
the cost of production, the influence
of the pipe line as a factor in mono
poly building, and export and domes-
tic price of the product. 1t is stated
on good authority that disclosures
concerning Standard Oil more in
teresting than those that have gone
before will be.
The inquiry into the steel trust,
while well advanced, will not be COM
pleted for some time to come.
In addition to his inquiries into
the Industries named, Commissioner
Smith is conducting an investigation
that is being watched with great in
terest Just before congress adjourn
ed resolution was introduced in the
house authorizing an inquiry into the
operations of the New York Cotton
Exchange. At the same time an APP
plication was made to the postmast-
err general for the issuance of fraud
order against the New York institu-
ton. The house resolution was sun
posed to be directed solely against
the exchange, but Commissioner
decided that the resolution was aim
ed at all exchanges and associations
dealing in cotton, and he proceeded
accordingly. This inquiry will be
broad in its scope. 1t will extend
from New York to New Orleans
Whether cotton exchanges actually

Wall PAPER and Curtains.

When a room has figured paper on

large patterns do not look we'll. And
yet Powered chintz or organdie dra-
peries are very pretty at bedroom
window and give decided air of cozi-
ness to the entire apartment. In such
a case white muslin curtains with
lowered ruffles and a lowered stripe
inside the hem are almost as attractive
as the entire flower curtain. They GER

These white curtains with the Powered

middle states, and on the eastern

are raised extensively, late frosts

wide variance between the 1900 figures

will suffice to show how erroneous tho
1904 figures may be:
In 1900 the true value Of realty and
in Augusta county, based
on the census takers visurcs, was s Ia
2l1,yG2, and that of buckingham was

Is valued at 81 ). o42,3o3, an increase In
four years of S1,7S0,3A1, and Rocking
hams was valued at Sl5.S19,S17. an In
crease of s751.640. 1t will be seen from
this that IL the 1904 figures are correct,

Decker, the seventeen-year-o youth,
charged with the larceny of money
from the United States Express Com
pany at Old Point Comfort, and with
having burned the building on the
government pier in which the express
Office was located. in order to destroy
evidence of the theft, this afternoon
