Snapped His Fingers.

Ellen Terry, in her account of her last
visit to Henry Irving, says that she
asked him what he had got out of life.
In McClure's Magazine she tells how he
answered her.

smiling slightly. LET me see

NO BAHIA ORANGES HERE.
Brazilian Fruit Not Exported Because of
Lack of Facilities for Preserving.

.sBahia, Brazil, the home of the navel
orange, from which place the late Will
liam G. Saunders imported the first ma
vel orange tree to the United States,
raises large quantities of this luscious
fruit, but does not export single
orange" said Richard G. White, for
merry in the diplomatic service in Bra
I'll, to reporter for the Washington
Post. Nearly every family has an
orange and a banana tree in the back
yard, and some have a number of trees.
These are merely for home consumption.
Mr.. Saunders when he began the re-
production and distribution of the navel
orange tree. the original Of which, / be
lieye, Is still in the grounds of the de-
partment of agriculture thought he
could produce the same quality of
orange, but / do not think he succeeded,
although the American navel orange is
a fine fruit 1t would be impossible TO
produce in Bahia any great quantity of
oranges for export because there are no
facilities for keeping the fruit after it
IS picked"

The dangers of railroad traffic at
grade in large centers of population are
in proportion to the mileage of streets in
cities and the population thereof. New
York city is an example of such dam
gers at their maximum, because the pop
ulation is eongested and traffic is heavy.
The public service commission reports
that forty-four persons were killed by
railroad accidents in the city during
August last, in which month there
were 121 car collisions and 2247 passen-
gers were injured. Statistics of this
kind dictate the abolition of grade cross
ings wherever such improvement is pos
sible.

Although the report of a Canadian
government vessel concerning ice condi-
tons on Hudson bay during the summer
is discouraging for those who have been
imagining that the much mooted "Hud-
son bay route" could be used for the ex-

west. the survey of the proposed rail-
road to the bay is proceeding rapidly.
1t is said that American capitalists have
their eyes on large tracts of timber in

are running their lines Lumber and

promise enough to warrant the construe-

Grave Causes for Suspicion.

MT Taft and MT. Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican committee, assure the country that there will be the fullest publicity regarding campaign contributions. It Is insisted by both that the New York law on the subject covers the case, and that it will be ob' served to the letter. We are informed further that even were there no law there would still be genuine publicity. We trust that these promises may be kept But the country would feel easier If the convention that nomi- mated Mir. Taft had not rejected a plank demanding publicity by an over. whelming vote. On the other hand, the Democratic convention declared for a law compelling publicity, and mak. ing it criminal offense for any cor. poration to contribute to party funds. Another bad sign is that MT. Sheldon. himself trust man, was the nominee of William Nelson Cromwell, one ol the greatest trust lawyers in thA country.
