 .oueh thre is now no surviving
 kexzient of the United States. three
 en ntill live who have shared the
 4,f former executives of the Nation. M fh@ three widows of ex-Presidents
 Mrs. James A. Garfield. Mrs. Ben
 IA Harrison and MT. Grover cleve-
 N. It has nearly always been the
 ie that the widows of Presidentas lva uutnumbered former holders of he office. The strain of caring for he Nations affairs seems to bear heav-
 on fncumbents of the chief magis-
 sy. and 1t is rare indeed to have had
 e than two ex-Presidents living at
 2me time. says The Brooklyn
 4rs. Garfield has long survived her
 .sband. who has now been dead al- lost twenty-seven years.
 # Since his death she has lived to see &her son. James Rudolph Garfield. stead &ly advanced to a place of prominence h the Nations councils until now he As become a member of the Presidents S SCnbinet In view of his youth he has at least the right to hope that history of the Adams family might be duplicated and the son of 6 President go to the White House. Particularly has Mir. Garfield a right to nurse this dream in view of the fact that he comes from Ohio, which has usurped the one-tine place of Virginia as a producer of chief executives.
 Mrs. Garfield divides her time be- tween three places. She deeply loves her old home town Of Mentor. O.. which ie rich in memories of her young life. There her children were raised. a thousand memories of the statesman stricken down by the bullet of Guiteau are thexe.
 Mrs. Garfield is also partial to Wash gngton. Despite the fact that the capi- tai city saw the off-taking of her hus- band, she has made 1t q practice to go there often to spend the winter. with an the sight of his triumphs during the hxisf time that he occupied the White House
 Garfield was a comparatively young man when he received his death wound an the station of the Pennsylvania Rail- road. and Mrs. Garfield often has ex- pressed the opinion that he might stfll be living had not the hand oR the as- eAssin snapped the life thread.
 Lives in California.
 m Pasadena, Cal. Mrs. Garfield has . summer home. There she lives a large part of the time in idylllc sur xoundings. she spends most of her zine sewing and reading. She is sweet and gracious woman, gentle and kindly and always ready to speak of the trtumphs of her husband.
 Mrs. Benjamin Harrison was not ac- tually a lady of the White House. for her distinguished husband had retired from public life before he wed the Beautiful Mrs. Mary Dimmiclx. the fav- crate neice of the first wife of the President
 She became a member of the Harri- son household prior to his election to the Presidency. and after his inapgur- 'atton she took prominent part|tn all the activities of social Washington.
 The first wife. Mary Scott Harrison. was an invalid during a large part of Mir. Harrison's stay at the White House and much of the social duty devolyed upon Mrs. nammick. She cared for tt with corriplete success. A.

Apples Best of Fruits.
New York World.

New York World.
 In an accounting just published and said to cover the last day of last June the number of apple trees in the Unit cd States is placed at 0I,794,642. Missouri leads the list of states and territories with 2o.040.39s trees. while New York is second with 15.054.s32. It happens that these. except in the case of New York. are the figures given in the census report for 1900. Tn the 10 years beginning with 1890 the increase in the number of apple trees in the country was over s0.oo0.c00. Eight passed. That the count remains un- changed since that tremendous gain of 1s90-99 must be regarded as some what amazing-if it is a fact
 However q mere reckoning of trees is misleading as means of comparing states shares in the apple raising in- dustry. New York's orchards produced over 24.000.000 bushels in 1S99 Penn sylvania was a close second and Ohio was third with more than 20400a naa bushels placed her ninth .on the list. The average yieldks.l d 71sw York, &C., cording to State Fruit Growers sz- seetaAoA-feDort of 19o2. is about three and one-half bushels per tree. which ought for 15.ooo.0oo trees to bring up total of over S2.00o.o0o bushels.
 There is quality also to be consid- cred. Missouri offers the tasteIess Ben Davis apple. which finds ready and heavy sale even on the Atlantic sea- board because of it's coloring, Western New York produces the Northern Spy in its highest quality and Northern Spy is undoubtedly the best all-round apple ever wet by rain and warmed by the sun. It is pleasant to reflect that on per capita basis of division, when extreme socialism comes into It's own, each of us in America may have to himself at least two trees from which only the uncivilized will steal the apples .FA

TELEPHONE TO SUPPLANT
TELEGRAPH FOR RAILWAYS
New Scheme Will RevoIutionize
Method of Train Despatch
ing on Big Lines
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


CHICAGO, Nov. 21-An innovation of
far reaching Importance in the opera
tion OF railroads, and one which viii
mean the complete revolutionizing of
the present method Of train dispatching.
has been adopted by the American
Railway association, the most infiuen-
tial body OF executive railroad officials
in the country.
The telegraph is to be supplanted by
the telephone
1t leaked out today that the joint
committee Of the association on inter
locking and signaling recommended to
the semiannual convention Of the
American Railway association, recently
held ia Chicago, the adoption of the
telephone and the subsequent dispiac-
ing Of the long used telegraph.
This installation Of the telephone for
train operation is a direct result of
legislation, necessitaing the additional
employment of more than 5000 oper-
ators and costing the various carriers
q sum estimated at nearly $4,000 900.
II is the intention Of the railroads to
place girls on the line as telephone
operators, and also find employment for
superannuated employees. The effect OF
the adoption of the telephone upon the
telegraph unions can only be con-
jectured. as railroad officials are silent
on that angle Of the proposed innova-
tion.

ofice is near the spot where the run
ners fell, sent word of the athletes col
lapse to THE EV-NING STAR Office,
and an automobile was hastily sent to
h aid of the runners, who were con-
veyed in it to the City Hospital.
Under most trying conditions young
and Inexperienced runners, making
their first attempt at athletic glory,
gave great exhibitions Of pluck and
gameness. One of the boys who
reached the tape was Joseph III.
Annuity, a one-armed runner, who fin
ished eighty-sixth. Another was Ar
thur Duff, a ~13-year-old STRIPPING who
covered the entire course n fell ex-
hausted al the finis'- in the arms of a
policeman at the finish tape.
John Murphy, of East Newark, lost
the soles of both his shoes near Bloom
field Centre, but did not let a little
thing like tina interfere with his run
ming, so he went in his stocking feet
over ~cobblestones and other hard sur
faces for eight miles more II reached
the finish in distress.

crowd that heard this speec-- cheered
the game lad to the echo.
These are but a few of the many
ness of the Jersey lads, who stuck to
their task, even though they realized
that they had no chance to cope with
the hardened runners Of the New York
clubs.
