II is Mr.. Boutelle's idea in this way
tosmake the house a debating instead

to eliminate the long speeches for the
benefit Of constituents at home, better
utilize the time of 9the members, en-

debates and make the Congressional

has already discussed the plan with

The Illinois member believes that
with the increase in the anembers of

rkston Bureau Evening Teller.

Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 1S.-From SO APP
pie trees of the Jonathan and Rome
Beauty varieties in the orchard of A.
H. Clearinghouse, on Elm street in
Charleston, 500 boxes of f1rst-class mar
ketable apples were picked and packed
which Melted the owner $500.
The price received for the crop was
81 per box on the trees, the purchaser
gathering and packing the fruit. In
addition to the 500 boxes of marketable
fruit, all of which was four tier, Mr.,
Clearinghouse had left for sale and
other uses 100 boxes of second-grade
apples, which would bring, were they
offered for sale, $50.
The orchard of Mr.. clearinghouse
consists of two and a half acres, and
contains 98 apple, SO cherry and %
peach trees. The SO apple trees occu-
py about one acre, and according to the
! returns this year have yielded a net
return of $3.50.
This splendid return has not beef
earned without giving to the orchaI d
intelligent thought and labor. The
| trees have been carefully looked after
and Systematically sprayed for both
the coddling moth and apple scab. AL
together five sprays were made. oneefor
apple scab and four for the moth. For
the apple scab the Bordeaux mixture
was used, and for the cooling moth
Swift's arsenate of lead. The percent
age of clean fruit, as result of the
excellent spraying, was go.
The results obtained by Mr.. CARING
house from his small tract may be
duplicated by any grower who will
intelligent labor. In no other line of
industry is there surer returns for so
little investment as in the production
of fruits. What Mr. Clearinghouse has
done with one acre can be done with
five, 10 or 100 acres. Where failure is
found in horticulture, it is usually the
result of lacK of intelligent effort.

BRIGHTER DAYS
Industrial Sections of State Say
 Depression Has Passed and ? Factories Are Resuming
METAL AND COTTON

New Haven, Nov 21.-A general in
 quiry throughout the industrial sec
 tions of the state points conclusively
 to the fact that whatever depression
 was brought about by the recent financial furry has practically pass ed away and manufacturing estab- lishments which temporarily curtailed production or reduced the time sched- ule of operatives, are now resuming, on very nearly, the same scale as existed for many months prior to the early part of October, allowance be- ing made for the customary curtail- ment of business in the fall due to inventories or between season change in character of goods. The metal business, which felt the effect of the uncertainty in the price of copper and which showed a falling off before the monetary stringency, is resuming activity, slowly but continually up- ward. The resumption of operations of plants in Bridgeport which were obliged to curtail because of money conditions solely, is indicative of the general trend of business elsewhere. Reports in detail from the textile in- dustries, more particularly in the eastern and northeastern parts of the state show that recent conditions had little effect there, as eorders were ill hand for many months, as the out come of the tremendous demand for cotton goods and woolens extending through many months.

TO MAKE MONEY.
Manager Dowlan of Goldfeld Has a
 Plan for Relief.

Goldfield, New, Nov. Eff a plan
 now under consideration by w. E.
 DoWlan, manager of the Nevada Gold
 held Reduction works, is consummat-
 ed, Goldfield will soon have a circu-
 latlng medium which will relieve to a great extent the scarcity of real
 money with which the camp is af- fllcted. The plan is to take the bull lion produced by the mills, make it into bars and stamp thereon the val ue, which will be used as money. The question of the legality of the plan and it's possible confliction with the currency laws of the land is now be- ing investigated. At present the three reduction works of the camp are turning out about $5,00O a day but this amount could easily be quad rupled by running in ores of a high CT grade. At the rate of $2O,0OO al day the camp could produce $6OO,OOO month in gold. James R. Davis of the Round Mountain Mining con- pany has agreed to put the bullion from that mill into circulation in the same way providing the plan is found to be feasible. This would add from S3O,OOO to $50,000 a month to the amount available.

ATTORNEY RUSSELL RETAINED.
Will Appear ill Dr DeVer's Case To-
 Morrow Morning.

Dr Hugh J. DeVer has retained At
 torney James E. Russell with Charles
 w. Bauby in his defense in the charge of murder in the second degree pending against him and, according
 to the lawyers there will be great fight in the city court when the case is called tomorrow morning. This is contrary to the general belief of the lawyers. They supposed the doctor would simply waive examination and suffer binding over to the superior court, February term. The defense will be an absolute denial of the charge. The doctor has made but one declaration about the case since his first arrest and that was that he did not know Mrs Josephine Hale, whose death he is accused of causing through a criminal operation. And a significant thing about the case from the coroner's side of 1t and which has struck the lawyers as re. queer, to say the least, is that the accused was not allowed a representative at the autopsy nor was he taken before the woman for identi fication, though this could have been done without any trouble as she did not die for two hours after following her accusing declaration.

BROWN LETTERS
0ver One Hundred Written By Dead Senator Introduced in
 Court Thus Far
AND THE END NOT YET

Washington, Nov 21.-It has al-
 ready become evident that the various letters written by former United States Senator Arthur Brown of Utah
 to Mrs Anna NJ. Bradley and those
 writeen by Mrs Bradley to NIr Brown Will form an important part of the testimony in the case against her on the charge of numbering Mir Brown winch is now on trial before Judge Stafford in criminal court No 1 of this city. Over hundred of Browns letters were introduced in the court yesterday for the purpose of identi- flcation and a smaller number from her to Brown were also presented. In addition three or four of her letters were read as part of her cross ex- animation showing that the govern ment Will rely large ly upon the let ters to sustain it's contention that the Killing was premeditated and that there were two sides to the relation ship between the x-senator and Mrs Bradley The letters will be present ed to the jury from tim to time as the case progresses. In most of the letters from Senator Brown to Mrs Bradley he addresses her as "Dolly."
 All the letters are not now availa- ble, but some of them are, and quotations from these sufficiently in- dicate the character of all. Take, for instance, postscript to a letter written by Brown to Mrs Bradley, April 2S, 1902, which runs as fol- lows:
 T have been and am so cross and savage at your performances and violations of your pledges to me that l can hardly see; but III cannot leave this letter without telling what l think-that I love you more than all the world; sick without you. Life is wretched when you are doing these things. What can I do to help you? l sent you a check for $50, and tlegraphed Jones to pay you S25. Did you get both? Do write. Do try at least to be good and trust in me. I love you, I love you"
 On May 4, 1902, he wrote Mrs Bradley telling her that he had writ ten his will and would forward it to her for safe keeping. In another let ter he refers to his illness and says:
 "I get so tired nights. I cannot sleep rthink. But darling, if II once get so that I can live with you night and day. we will grow young md happy together
 Mrs Bradley testified that Brown md she frequently quarreled, and on me occasion she struck him in the mouth with an umbrella, because of ruel things said to her.
 At 11:22 Mrs Bradley's cross ex- was concluded.

The Liberty Street Bridge.

Work is being pushed on the Lib erty street bridge and in a week or so it will be ready for use, although the job will not be quite finished this year It was a big undertaking and it was a pity that the plan was not based on a more extensive scale SO that there might be no aftermath t. it. Walls will have to be con- structed at the north as we'll as at the south side of the bridge. but as Lo provision was made to have any, body else bear the expense it is like F. that all this will come back on the city some day. The trouble. it appears, was due to the fact that the work was Cldertaken before the bureau of assessment knew where it was at. This is an old story and it would seem about time the abuse was stopped. Nothing should be done with such project until after the board of aldermen has adopted it and ordered the work pushed to completion.

LAWYERS IN COURT
Bristol Man Brings Stuff For $1,00O Against Attorney
 U. C. Church.

The singular spectacle of one law yer suing another for losing case
 was begun in the superior court to-
 day before Judge Curtis. Attorney
 P. L. Wood representing James L. AL colt, of Bristol and Waterbury. brought the suit against Attorney U. C.. Church for losing a case in which he appeared for Alcott against Sera- phine Rodier, also of Waterbury. It is long story but briefly it runs thus: MT Alcott claimed right of way through Mrs Rodier's property on the Wolcott road. Mrs Rodier put up fence preventing Alcott from passing through. Alcott retained MT Church who obtained an injunction against Mrs Rodier from interfering with Alcott. The matter went to trial, AL colt claiming he had right of way by prescription through Mrs Rodier's land. He lost the case but he went at it again and this time he alleged right of way by right of necessity. Again Alcott lost. Then he went with his story to Attorney Wood who told him that had MT Church in the first case alleged right of way by necessity instead of by prescription he would have won the case. Alcott was so mad on hearing this information that he there and then retained Attorney Wood to bring suit against Attorney Church for $1,000 damages for losing the case. In other words he claims that if Attorney Church had not been negligent of his, Alcott's interest he would have won the case. MT Church is represented in the matter by him- self and Burpee and Carmody.
 Alcott had number of deeds show. ing that the property which he claims as his has been in the family since about 1900 and that so far as he can recall every member of his family al- ways had right of way over that particular strip of land which has been involved in the law suits be- tween him and Mrs Rodier.
 All the lawyers in town are watch- ing the outcome of the case for it is a new one to most of them.

CpheaYaI in the Ocean.

Mexico City, Nov 1.-Navigators plying in the gulf trade bring to the capital reports of the effects of a great upheaval ill the ocean off the coast of Yucatan, due to submarine volcanic action. They declared that in the recent upheaval which re- suited in the killing of tons of fish on the gulf coast, the bed of the ocean was changed and that sound ings show great depths where for merly were shallow places and vice versa. They report also that a num- Der of small islands were inundated. Inquiry last night at the department cf war and marine showed that no report has been received showing any such condition and the officials had heard nothing beyond the death of large numbers of fish.

 inc Walsh Kelly.

Bridgeport, Nov. 2.-Mayor Henry Lee and Mrs Catherine Walsh Kelly, widow of the late Dr John E.

She is the widow of Dr John E. Kelly, a leading physician of this city, who died some 16 years ago. MT Lee himself is widower. He had been a close friend of his wife's fath- CT many years prior to the latter's death and was one of the adjusters of the estate. Father Lynch of St Char les church officiated at the marriage ceremony.

The Questions They Ask.

The capacity of the average small boy for asking questions is practically unlimited, but it is doubtful whether more searching inquiries have ever been made by boy than those pro- pounded by youngster to his father, who had taken him for a steamer trip. Here is a partial list:
 "Is that water down there any wetter than the water in the Atlantic oceanT
 What makes the water wet?"
 How many men could be drowned in water as deep as thatg"
 ''Is that big man with the gold but tons on his coat the father of all those men who do whatever he tells them to-"
 "Where do all those soapsuds behind the boat come from?"
 Could a train go as fast on the wa. ter as this boatY'-Chums.

MEN AND MACHINES.
The Limit of Human Speed Has About
 Been Reached.

The Limit of Human Speed Has About
 Been Reached.
 One thing alone can intervene and put the curb on the desire for speed mans powers of endurance. Already there are signs that it has almost reached its limit. The increase of nervous diseases. the spread of insan ity, these and other warnings should serve as danger signals that the speed of modern life is excessive. The ad- justing of a mans frame to rapidly changing conditions. great though it be. yet has its limits.
 Machinery may be perfected to an incredible degree. but man-unless we are to conceive of him as becoming absolutely machine-like-will always have his limitations of flesh and blood. He will always be a fantastic creature subject to strange emotions, uncertain gusts of passion. sudden tricks of nerves or of physical exhaustion. Among the daily catastrophies from the lust of speed it is rare to find that 1t is the machinery which is at fault It is the failure of the eye to transmit with sufficient rapidity the danger message 10 the brain or an error fin judgment or a sudden nerve failure. one of these which brings about dis aster. Man may perfect the machine. but he remains himself ever imperfect. London Saturday Review.
