FRUIT IN HOTELS.
Hirh Prices and Poor Fruit Hurt
California's Name.

From rLe san Francisco CnronicIe
From time to time there are complaints
of the high prices and poor quailty OF
fruit served at hotels and restaurants In
this state and just now the farmers OF
San JOAQUIN county are "orsanizine 10
nro,nott, the serving of better fruit at
lower prices IN such places. We DO not
suppose that any particular result Will
come from agitation OF the subject by
those who do not run eating places, unless
public discussion should suggest TO some
of them the idea of making their own
places popular by reform in TINS particu-
There is no doubt that the practice of
hotel men serving poor fruit and charging
q high price for il hurs the state. Prob
ably also Il hurts the hotels; but OF that
the hotel men will judge for themselves;
fruit or any ordinary food is but small
mart Of the cost OF serving a meal, and
that service in a palace by walters IN
swallowtails must cost more than serv-
ice In a shack by walters In their shirt
sleeves; but nevertheless a bill for 81
cents for two good apples OH handsome
plate. or q bill for 10 cents for two or
three measly, little. Unlocking pears or
apricots, Is either of them calculated to
discourage the fruit-eating habit. II one
may Judge by the fruit he sees served
at the hotels. good and indifferent as one
finds them in travelling. 1t IL the custom Of
most public caterers to buy only Gull fruit
for their guests.
That this is bad for the state there is no
doubt whatever. Nothing in California
does more to attract tourists or imni-
grants than the reputation Of our Large
and luscious" fruit. Nothing will do more
to 1jspel the glamour Of the word Cali
fornia than to he served with culls or
charged exorbitant prices for our fruit.
Nothing will give hotel the reputation
for extortion quicker than what the trsv-
elcr thinks an exorbitant price for fruit.

Baltimore's Negro Population.
ne Baltimore American Star.

From the Baltimore American Star.
Booker T. Washington in his opening
address before the National Negro Bust
ness League remarked that II was we'll
that the convention of the league was
being held i'm Baltimore. a southern city.
which has. with perhaps two exceptions.
the largest negro population of any city
In the country.
He might with truth have made his
point stronger by saying that Baltimore
contains the largest negro population
which can be found on any equal area
in the world. The United States census
of 1900 states that Baltimore is the third
largest urban center of negro population
in the United States, and names WASH
lngton and Memphis as larger. But
OF territory, and the $50 square miles of
the enumeration OF the population of
Memphis. while Baltimores area Is only
thirty square miles, half that of Wash
ington. and less than one-twenty-sixth of
that of Memphis. The census gives
Washington about 5000 and Memphis
about 1900 more negro Inhabitants than
Baltimore but I'm negro population to the
square mile Baltimore exceeds either OF
these urban centers.
Africa has no city in which the inhab-
itants OF negro blood number near
many as are found i'm these American
cities and it is. therefore safe TO assert
that there are no thirty square miles any
where on the globe on which many
negroes dwell as within the corporate
limits of Baltimore.

Condition of Luther Johnson Report

The condition of Luther Johnson. col

treated at the Emergency Hospital. is
today reported 10 be improved. The ply
sicians say he has good chance for re-
covery.
DR.. Charles s. White took six stitches
in the mans heart. but an opening devel-
oped in the patients breast through the
decay of flesh. The opening extends into
the thOracic cavity. and every breath
taken into the lungs results In air escap-
ing by the way of the cavity.
The physicians say that the opening
leads to the left lung. which. when the
man was admitted to the hospital, had
entirely closed. The cavity. therefore,
enables the man to breathe through the
lung. 1t is thought the cavity will grad
ually heal from the inside.
