FRUIT IN NEW ENGLAND.

Prof John Cra'g Of Cornell yesterday
summarized an address on New Eng
land = Opportunities in Orchards" IA
follows: I'VE may safely conclude that
New Ensland's opportunities in apple
growing are practically unequalled On
the continent There Is an abundance of
cheap land; the soil ana climate pro-
duce a product of hne appearance and
high quality, the gateways to the export
market are on our own coast, while n
home market OF tho most discriminating
ana appreciative kind Is At our very
doors. The possibilities Of the fruit in
dustry have been temporarily obscurred
by the wonderful development OF the
nanufa turing arts.
ITO redirect attention TO this funda-
mental of national prosperity. New Eng
land should establish and maintain N
series OF demonstrations showing the
practical Feasibility of renovating old
orchards. ca a series OF demonstrations
showing the profitable nature OF present
day orchardng by up-to-date methods;
go and finally. should encourage the
consumption of fruit by providing for
uniformity in the grade OF fruit and IN
the coptainer or package.
Il have characterized the condition and
have offered sone surres,ion for i.s i'm
provement NV own faith ia s,ronp IN

tahl'shmcnt OF the New England apple
industry Will take place upon a new and

CAPT. MOORE GOES
Well Known Postoflioe Employe Leaves for a Visit to
 Relatives.
BEEN IN SERVICE 37 YEARS
Old Days on the Qulnniplac River Re. called--iIls Active Ca-
 reer.

Captain William H. Moore who has been one of Uncle Sam's mail men for about S7 years has secured leave of absence and will start on a trip today to visit relatives near Detroit, Michi- gan. He will be away for about three months. Capt Moore was for about 20 years postmaster at Falr Haven when that shipping port boasted a postonlce of It's own. Since Fair Ha- ven as a fourth class postofilce was consolidated with the New Haven post office, so that the benefits of city deliv- cry of mail could be secured, Mir. Moore had been employed in the gen eral delivery department of the main office. He is a veteran of the civil war of five years active service, during the last year of which fin the battle of WaNnesboro he lost a leg. The captain last night recited memories of the old days when every other man who call ed for mall at the Fair Haven post office was a seafaring man who was addressed as Captain" whether his sea experience was gained in the lo- cal harbor on a sharple or on a Balti- moro oyster schooner In those old days nearly every back yard along the Fair Haven coast of the Quinnipiac river contained q dugout or a sharpie and the custom was to throw a scoop of oysters into the postmaster's basket which hung conveniently submerged and suspended by rope from the post office side door. The pestefflee was then located at the waterfront on Grand avenue.
 The local postoffice employees hope to see the captain back at work again but old age and infrmity may prove too much for the active duty. The civil service retirement bill which was drawn up by the congressional com mittee appointed to report on business method in the postofiice department land was presented to both houses of .congress hy President Roosevelt Is be- ing watched with anxiety by Captain
 Moore and several other of the old war veterans. He stated last night that
 the bill was brought out from the com mittee Saturday and would probably get attention soon.

HONEST IN PROSPERITY.
But When Business Grew Slack Firm
 M,sused Mails.

Chicago, April 27,--Frank l.. Mon roe and Thomas c. Miller, who were arrested several months ago on charges of using the mails to defraud in connection with the operation of the Marinotte Gas Engine company of Chicago Heights, will be placed on trial to-day They are said to have secured s11t,000 before the govern ment inspectors stopped their mail.
 Monroe and Miller are said to have started the manufacture of engines in q legitimate way. When business grew slack they employed agents at monthly salaries of $2bO requiring them to invest from S1,000 to $b,000 each in the company,
 The alleged swindle consisted of dis charging these agents for inefficient service after a few weeks work, and withholding the amount of money in vested in stock. Twenty eight men arc said to have complained against the company,

 When my ears were assailed by the demand for the keys of the pow der house, I paused moment at your warllke usages and surrendered like q peaceful citizen. Now when your major calls upon me to speak am like soldier. Obedience is the duty of soldier, I trust you will not consider my surrender of the keys as evidence of cowardice. But the un- expected appearance of this army on the panoply of war terrified me. To- day you put it up heavily to me, to show me the only town is my home town, Ana coming rom ilEhtlng race hated to give up the keys with out one crack at the enemy. 1 thought of calling half dozen cop pers to chase the whole crowd of you across the green l find some satis- faction in the thought that to-day's capture of the powder house was the most daringly executed bit of strategy in the annals of the present com pany.

as the operator at Delhi was about to
close his station he received a message
from the Mecrut office announcing an
uprising In chat section. At o'clock.
when the Office was reopened, connec.
tlons with Meerut were found to be
! interrupted.
The telegraph force at Delhi consist
ed of the chief and two young assist
ants Brendlsh and Pllkington. The
office was situated outside of the city
about mile from the gates.
On discovering the break In the con.
nections the chief sent the two lads
to test the cable across the river. They
found that they could signal to Delhi.
but not to Meerut, and reported the
fact on their return. 1t was too late
to do anything that night, but the next
morning Mr. Todd, the chief, went out
himself to investigate the line. He
never returned, and, although his fate
Is unknown. there Is little doubt that
he was murdered.
The office was thus left In charge Of
the two lads. Signs of trouble began
to be evident close at hand. Brendlsh.
stepping from the door, met a wounded
officer who cried out to him, For
Gods sake get inside and close your
doors"
The revolt crept closer and closer,
The boys felt that their lives We're IN
danger Soon they became sure Of IT.
But before they fed to place Of COM
paratlye safety they waited to send out
to the Indian world the news of the
revolt.
Brendlsh licked out the message
which caused Sir Edward to say:
'Look at the courage and sense of
that little boy! With shot falling all
round him, he stayed to manipulate
the message that was the means Of
saving the Punjab."
The government rewarded Brendish
for his services by giving him life
pension. and as an old man he died In
the India he had helped to preserve.
