or rotten one, none Of the other
apples could be sold without danger
Of violating the city ordinance. Under
such circumstances the merchants do
not feel that they could handle fruit
and produce to an advantage.
The city ordinance probably was not
intended to be SO drastic as some Of
the merchants seem to construe IT. It
was aimed more at the testing and Sc
curing Of good wholesome meats than
anything else, but rotten vegetables
and fruits are not wholesome and rep
utable merchants do not knowingly sell
impure goods
The merchants will ask the city
council to construe the ordinance for
them or modify the ordinance SO as
not to injure their business, which
they say would be the case so far as
| fruit and produce is concerned.

the features of the celebration today
Of the 18th birthday of Emperor
Francis Joseph. Fetes were held

does not permit any exertion. If he

have reigned over Austria for sixty
years. record equaled by but few
European monarchs of recent times.
Never before was the emperor's
birthday so generally observed as to-
day. Business was generally suspend
ed and all public offices and majority
of shops and factories were closed
Gala performances were given at all
theaters. The streets and boulevards
for which Vienna is famous were deco
rated with flags as seldom before. In
nearly all churches special thanksgiv
ing services were held and attracted
thousands of worshippers. Telegraphis
messages of congratulation were re
ceived by the aged emperor from near
ly all the reigning monarchs o
Europe.

The grocery and produce merchants
are not at all pleased with the recent
order adopted by the city council in
reference, to pure meats and produce.
The grocery merchants believe the
ordinance goes too far, If construed
literally. Several of them are Of the
opinion that it will be impossible to
sell any produce without violating
the ordinance and they do not want to
do this. In fact, rather than do so,
they will quit handling all kinds OF
produce and fruits.
For instance, a merchant stated this
morning that fruit, potatoes, etc, that
had an occasional rotten or specked
piece, in the whole lot could not be
used as it would come in contact with
other fruit or vegetables. If barrel
of apples contained few specked ones

ineligible to the throne. On the death
Of Crown Prince Rudolph, in 1889, the
right of succession passed to the en-
peror's brother, the Archduke Charles
Louis who died in 1896. His son, the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, is the
presumptive heir to the throne, He
married in 1900, the Countess Sophie
Chotek, but the union was morgan
attic one. The emperor has second
brother, the Archduke Louis Victor.
The family is of the ancient Hapsburg
line, and is inclined to look upon other
European monarchs as of mushroom
royalty.
The celebrations in honor of Emper-
or Francis Joseph. are not the forced
tributes of downtrodden subjects, but
are spontaneous testimonials to the
love and affection which this most
generous monarch is held by the peo
pie. There is no more popular ruler

popularity by a Uniform generosity
and kindness to his people ever since
he mounted the throne more than hall

That news from Hattiesburg is read
all over the country was demonstrated
yesterday morning when Mayor J. D.
Donald received letter from an in
mate Of the Montana penitentiary.
Enclosed in the letter was a novelty,
which for uniqueness and beauty OF
design, is not often seen. 1t was a
necklace made entirely of horsehair,
but not one in dozen could guess at
frst sight what it was made of. The
color scheme" was red and yellow and
not strand of hair could be seen in
the entire necklace. A knot and lap
was designed to hold the watch or
locket or whatever might be attached
to it, and this part was the work of a
genius. 1t started with four pieces,
composing a link, and wound up with
two.
