spanish displeasure had manifested itself In the blowing up of the Maine, the re- concentrates had received S2O0,o0O in money and supplies. With the outbreak of war call was issued for supplies, nurses, physicians and money. Between June b and August 26. money came in at the rate of 3,4O0 per day, and sup plies at the rate of $S,5O0.
 It must be remembered that there Is no government appropriation for the red cross the funds being voluntary contri- buttons. In the Spanish h-American war the call for volunteers in red cross work brought almost as great a response as the call for volunteer soldiers. All over tho country service was given freely in some entirely at their own expense, some had way or another. Many nurses went out only their expenses paid, while others were given a salary. Training schools were opened for nurses and the wheels of a great humane activity were set in motion in order that the sick and wound ed whether friend or foe, should be cared for. The work they did has become matter of history.
 The San Francisco disaster proved the steel of the American Red Cross. When the news came the secretary of war, who is now president of the association, sent a representative of the order there to receive and dispense supplies. The whole was done in methodical, military style and aid was given thousands who would certainly have endured great suffering had the assistance come through the more circuitous private channels. For three months an enormous amount of food and provisions passed through the hands of the authorities of the Red Cross in San Francisco. The eruption of Vesu- vlus in May, the Valparaiso earthquake In August of the same year, and the famine In Japan this spring, have all pro- voked a responsive altrusm in the hearts of American men and women, and this spirit has been made manifest through the Red Cross.
 In January, 19O5, the charter of The American National Association of Red Cross" was revoked by act of Congress, and because of it's national importance and great significance in the eyes of other nations was re-incorporated under the title American National Red Cross" It was also placed under the direction of the secretary of war. Branches have been established in all states of the union. and these are all responsible to the national society. There Is no international so- ciety, though the organization of forty four nations are affiliated in their work to a certain extent and all are bound together in the wide philanthropy of the treaty of Geneva. This treaty was again slightly revised last summer on the sug- gestion that each soldier carry some mark of Identification so that all dead on the battleheds could be searched for such marks, and the records so established be given the armies for further reference.

Prison Record Shown.

R. F. Grlmshaw of Deadwood, S. D. was introduced by the state to identify d prison record showing that in 1880 John M O'Neil, at present and for many years past editor of the Miners Magazine, was in the Dakota penitentiary. The defense objected on the ground that this was not proper rebuttal or Impeachment that Witness ONeil's attention was not called to the matter when he was on the stand To allow the citation of authorities the witness was temporarily withdrawn
 In contradiction of the old soldier, John D. Elliott, who said he heard Orchard make threats against Governor Steunen- berg while on a train, the state intro duced several railway officials, who pro- duced records showing that the trains on which Elliott and Orchard travelled did not make the connection which Elliott had described as part of the jour ney. Elliott testified that he travelled from Wezer, Idaho, to Boise about No vember 2S or 29, 1905. The state called J. P. Stephenson, a hotel clerk of Salt Lake City, today to testify that Orchard arrived at the Hotel Cullen on November 25, 1905 and remained there three weeks. When asked to produce records the wit ness said he could only find Orchards name entered in the books on November 25 It was the mans custom to pay for his room nightly in advance.
 J. H. Moser, proprietor of the Kettle Block rooming house in Denver, testi- fled that Harry Orchard under the name Of Dempsy, stopped with him for two weeks late in July or August of 1904. Dr. McGee, a witness for the defense, test,- fled several weeks ago that he saw Orch ard In the Occur DAlenes at this time.
 On cross-examination, he said he kept no record of guests and did not remem Der the names of any other transient guests in the summer of 1904. He was re- quested to come to Boise by a Pinkerton detective.

PauIson Arouses Interest.

Interest in the rebuttal case was ma terially quickened by the calling of Au- gust Paulson of Wallace. Idaho, one of the owners of the Hercules mine in wh Orchard once held a ne-sxteenth in- terest. There was a long argument be- tween counsel as to the witness ability to tell when Orchard ceased to hold any control of the mine Paulson said he could not remember the exact dates, but that as early in the spring of 1898 Oroh- ard had nothing further to do with the property, his interest being succeeded by Dan Gardener. now wealthy man from the production of the mine.
 The defense claims that Orchard had a personal motive against Steunenberg be- cause of the loss of this property when he was driven out of the country as a part of the 1899 troubles The state claims Orchard sold out his interest year or 50 before the trouble started.
 The deed by which Orchard transferred his interest in the Hercules mine to Car doner was admitted in evidence over the protest of the defense It bore date of March [, 1S9S
 Paulson was cross examined but briefly and left the stand as the luncheon ad- journment was ordered
 Jury Sent Out.
 The jury was kept out of the court room while the argument as to the admissibllty of O'Neills conviction was in progress There was also an extended debate on the subject of the admissibility of the papers committing John D. Elliott, wit ness for the defense. to the insane asylum The attorneys for the defense argued that the witness had admitted that he had been committed and the papers of commitment were immaterial. Judge Wood said he would not pass upon the matter until Monday morning.
 After the jury had returned MT. Flaw ley read the papers in the O'Neil case. He was charged with the killing of Daniel Falvey, and upon being convicted of man slaughter in the second degree was sen fenced to one year and six months in the penitentary.

state, we clip from the Tampa Times :
Prof c. W. Williamson, of Wapa-
koneta, O., the author of number
Of books on botany and geology, who
is spending the winter in St. Peters
burg, has written an interesting article
on the fruits of South Florida for the
Auglaize County Republican, which is
herewith reproduced:
1.-THE fruit products of this land of
sunshine and ba1ny breezes are un-
excelled elsewhere on the continent.
Experts estimate that the 100000
of orange trees in the state of Flor
ida will this year yield three million
boxes of fruit; the value of which is
estimated at four million dollars.
Hillsborough county, in which St.
Petersburg is situated, in 1904 pro-
duced $4,000 crates of oranges, and
the annual increase in the amount
produced has been about twenty per
cent. per year since that time.
"In visiting different portions of
the country the tourist is surprised at
the great number of orchards that
have been planted within the last
three years; the orchards varying in
size from five to forty acres. Good
orange land has increased in value
within the last five years from
five to one hundred dollars per acre.
[ am safe in making the prediction
that Hillsborough county will, in the
next five years, become vast orchard
of orange and grapefruit trees The
soil is composed of sand and decom-
posed marine shells and is not as
fertile as lands further north, yet,
with a liberal supply Of phosphate of
lime it yields bounteous crops It costs
from a dollar to dollar and a half
per tree to fertilize the orchards each
year.
'The orange is not indigenous to
wild oranges found growing in the
state and South America can be traced
to the early explorations of the Portu-
gese and ,Spaniards. The seeds plant
ed by them bore an inferior fruit
compared with the delicious product
of the present time They were sour
and somewhat bitter. Sixty years ago
Captain Haines planted some Sicily
orange seeds to be cultivated as shade |
trees in Lake county. In later years
these trees produced fruit of a very
fine flavor. Grove owners in after
years budded the native stock and
thereby gave an impetus to orange
culture.
"a few years after Captain FIaines
planted his seed gentleman living
on Tampa Bay bought box of sweet !
oranges from a Chinese trading YES
sci, planted the seeds, and from these |
grew what is known as the Chinese
orange. The orange industry has,
therefore, grown from three sources,
viz: the native fruit, the Sicily or
ange and the Chinese orange.
"Other varieties of the orange such |
as the naval, seed1ess and tangerine |
are raised in abundance. A dwarf |

grown.
"The guava is another variety of
fruit that is rarely found in northern
markets. The fruit resembles small
orange, and is considered delicious by
the crackers Very few northern
people, however, like the fruit on first
trial. The odor is so powerful and
penetrating that it antagonizes the
senses. Like tomatoes, an appetite
must be acquired for them.
"The avocado, or alligator pear, is
not pear at all; it has one large
seed in the center which weighs two
ounces in good specimen. The fla
vor transcends that of the finest
muskme1ons. The fruit is eaten with
pepper and salt. It contains no acid,
but it's rich, marrowy, vegetable-like
pulp renders it fine article of food.
One full grown specimen is as much
as any one can eat, and more nearly
takes the place of meat than any 9TH
er fruit grown in the south. A fine
specimen of this tree is growing near
the house in which we are domiciled
for the winter. It is about thirty feet
in height and bears some resemblance
to our pear tree The fruit is too
tender to bear shipping to distant
markets. The mango is fruit that
is deservedly popular in the south,
on account of it's handsome appear
ance and its novel flavor. It is pear
shaped, fattened and covered with
and greenish-red splot-
ches. The seed is very large and
flat, the flesh adhering to it very firm
ly. The tree is exceedingly prolific
and the fruit bears shipping. The
tree begins to bear when it is three
years old. This variety of fruit can
be grown from Key West to Tampa.
"Sappadillo like a number of other
tender fruits, is produced only in the
extreme southern portion of the state.
Of this fruit there are eight varieties,
all of them good; but the egg-shaped
one is considered the best. The tree
that bears this delicious fruit is small,
hardly ever exceeding four inches in
diameter Like the plantain, the sap
padillo bears the third year after
planting.
"The guanavana, the largest fruit
grown in the state is indigenous to
the extreme southern portion of the
peninsula The fruit is called sour
sop by the natives Four pounds is
the average weight of the fruit. The
seeds are numerous, small and black
floating in a snowy, custard-like pulp
which has fine flavor, unlike that Of
any other fruit. Ice cream and cool
ing drinks are made from it in Key
West. The exterior of the fruit is of
a greenish color, irregular in shape
and covered with soft prick1es The
fruit is rare, even in Key West, and
commands as high as 60 cents piece
"The Jamaica apple, or cherimoyer,
seems to be a missioner, as I am in
formed it bears no resemblance to a
northern apple. The tree is small and
IS by no means a prolific bearer and
