NEARLY 1000 IN
BABY PARADE

Asbury Park, N. j., Sept. 2.-To
days annual baby parade, viewed by
thousands of persons from all parts
of the country, was voted the most
successful affair of it's kind that has
ever taken place at this famous re-
sort. Throughout the afternoon
babylon held festal holiday and
high revel. Bedecked in flowers and
gold and tinsel it went through the
grand parade without murmur. 1t
tOddled contentedly in the grand
march along the board walk and
made graceful obesiance to Queen
Titania and her court while the thou
sands of spectators, fascinated by the
moving panorama, looked on with
sympathetic eye.
The starting point was from the
Asbury Park auditorium. The route
extended mile along the Ocean
Boulevard to the intersection of Sixth
amphitheatre had been erected for
the accommodation of the judges. All
along the line of march there were
elaborate decorations, consisting of
Venetian masts from which futetred
thousands of flags and banners and
countless yards of bunting, and the
little coaches, bicycles and floats that
were in the procession were also gar
nishej with flags and flowers
The parade was divided into eight
sections, each being headed by a
marshal and two aids. At the head
of the procession was a platoon of
police and a band of music Then
came gaily decorated baby coaches
and go carts, doll coaches and ex-
press wagons. These were followed
by hundreds of children on foot, in
fancy and grotesque dress and in cos
tunes of college colOrs. Elaborate
floats and pony turnouts brought up
the rear of the procession
Of course, the court of honor was
the ctenter of attraction. Queen tt
tania (Miss Henrietta Amelia Elker
of New York;, her maids of honor,
the high chancellor, the court jester
and Prince Charming. together with
the pages, trumpeters and courtiers,
presented a brilliant and enhancing
scene, which was witnessed and ap-
plauded by a host of notable guests
occupying boxes in the stadium.

What a Dollar Dog Can Do.

A man in a nearby city bought for
for which he paid dollar. 1t was
obviously nothing wonderful in the
canine way-merely q mongrel. with
the bulldog strain predominant. The
owner was man in humble circum-
stances. and the dog. in his modest
dwelling, was the principal asset,
aside from few sticks of furniture.
The other night Tom" was tied
to the leg of kitchen sink. as usual
and the family went to bed. They
were awakened by the dog at mid
night scratching at his masters door.
When his master came out to see
what was the matter. the dog with a
remnant of chewej rope hanging
fro mhis collar, whined and ran to
the head of the stairway. The house
was on fire, and shortly after woman
and child and man and dog made
their escape their poor dwelling was
a mass of glowing embers.
The owner of the dog has been
urged to part with him for a large
cash consideration, but. though he is
penniless. he will not part with the
four-footed savior of his family; nei
Their has the dog at any time had
thoughts of leaving them for luxuri
Gus kennels
All of which goes to show that yet
can not always arrive at the proper
valuation of a dog, or of a man fol
that matter, on the basis of the dol
jelphia Ledger.

5 EARS RET|RES
FROM BUSINESS
BIG ADVERTISER WHO AMASSED
FORTUNE BEFORE REACHING
MIDDLE AGE WILL QUIT WITH
$25,OOO,OO
$4,000, 1900.

Chicago. Sept 3-Richard w.
Sears. founder of probably the big
gest mail order house in the Who'll.
wOrld-Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chi
cago-has announced his retirement
from active business, having amassed
fortune of $25,OOO,O00 in II years,
says Fourth Estate.
The history of Mr. Sears life ana
that of the firm he founded brings
to light some interesting facts. Start
ing life as a railroad telegraph oper-
ator at a country station in the
northwest at a salary Of $50 a month
he happened one day to notice an ad-
yertisement of New York watch
firm selling watches on time
He answered the ad. and received
the watch on approval. While it was
in his possession he conceived the
idea of selling watches to railroad
men. The many orders he received
convinced him that there was good
profit in the field, and he opened an
Office in Minneapolis So successful
was his watch business that he grad
ually took in other lines of merchan-
disc. which also seemed to meet with
public approval.
The key to his mail order business
Mr.. Sears found to be extensive ad-
vertising and honest business prin-
ciples.
Working on these lines, in two
years he cleared enough money to
branch out in Chicago, and in 1894
he went into partnership with A. w.
Roebuck. With both men in the firm
working in harmony with one an
other. the business steadily grew and
extended until it became Sears, Roe
buck & Co, with a capital of S40,-
900. 900 and annual sales of $4,000
900.

QUICK PACK FRUIT
DISTRIBUTOR
l.. A. DYAR IN THE CITY FOR THE
PURPOSE OF DEMONSTRATING
ding AND PACKING APPLES.

L. A. Dyar of Dyar & Broneer OF
Spokane, inventors and manufacture
ers of the Quick Pack Fruit Distrib-
utors, is in the city for the purpose of
meeting the fruit growers and to give
demonstrations of his packing ma
chine. The quick pack fruit distrib-
utor is an apparatus composed of
an adjustable iron stand and canvas
basket or cars running on a double
track by which apples or other fruit
can be handled, sorted, wiped,
freighted and packed with remark
able speed and efficiency. This dis
tributor has been endorsed by the
horticultural department of the state
college at Pullman and has been used
in its institute work and on demon
stratiOn trains all over the state of
Washington. Professor Thornber says
that he considers it the coming thing
of the fruit man. The mechanism is
very simple
The stands support three boxes
each and may easily be adjusted to
hold boxes at different angles and
levels as desired.
The stands will be found very con-
venient for sorting or packing in a /
small way, used apart from the body |
of the apparatus
The cars of canvas. running on an
iron framework, save the fruit from |
bruising through contact with the |
hard substances.
The track is built in sections. each
six feet long, which may be fastened T.
together with thumb screws Six cars
are the most convenient number for
one section of track. which will &C
commodate four workers. The num-
Der of sections used may be deter
mined by the amount of work to be
done
The entire apparatus is collapsible,

Wiping and grading is performed by
sorters, who are kept constantly oc-
cupied in supplying work for the
packers, who receive but one grade
of fruit, passed directly in cars
Although from four to eight grades
of apples, distinguished as to size,
color and freedom from blemish, may
be handled simultaneously. each
packer need stow away but one to
two grades of fruit. In consequence
careful grading of fruit it easy with
the Quick Pack" and the attrac-
tiveness and quality of the pack is
materially increased
The packing is so organized by the
Quick Pack" that each mans work
is always under the direct observation
of the foreman. No neglect by any
man is possible when the "Quick
Pack" is used.
Mr.. Dyar will be in the city week
or ten days for the purpose of intro
ducing his invention.

is 1T FIVE OR SIX?

Are there five or six men in the city
auditors office? And does the number
account for the notorious incompe-
tency with which the work of that Of
flee is conducted?
Also, is there any reason why the
pledges Of Alff, made two years ago, TO
the effect that he would dismiss his
least serviceable appointees-is there
any reason why that pledge should not
be kept?
The city paid nearly $4,000 for an
audit of the books of the city, and for
the introduction of a system by which
prompt reports could be placed at the
disposal of the people. Competent men
in the auditors Office could have made
prompt report with the old system. But
Aft and his flock, stumbling over each
other. are even more slow with the new
system than they were with the old.
And the condition is not going to be
any better if the Tom Kearns party can
prevent, for they have issued the order
that the king of incompetents be again
| reelected.

WHO CLOSED The sTocKApEa

Well, who did it? There is little CO.
terie of men still noisy in the land, who
cherish the untruth that they closed the
been called the Civic league. and the
Betterment league. And some of the
same men who took advantage of re-
cent meetings TO stand up and boast
that they closed the stockade are the
very men who appealed to the father of
the stockade to become their candidate
for mayor of Salt Lake City.
The Republican party closed the
stockade, and did it effectively. The
Civic league or the Betterment league
had no more to do with that desired re-
suit than they had with discovering
the North Pole.
Before-long before-the county cam
paign opened, responsible members of
the Republican party met and decided
that the stockade enterprise had as
sumed such proportions it could not
longer be ignored. They saw that
Mayor Bransford and the whole city
government were resolved to make the
stockade a financial success. And in
the face of so colossal a menace to the
city the Republican party of Salt Lake
county exercised the right and welded
the power entrusted to it by the law
and invaded a territory that the city
officials refused to maintain i'm order

SALT LAKES PUNISHMENT.

Washington Post: President Taft
faced ticklish situation yesterday
that had no humor IN it. The smile
no doubt but the set faces of Mormon
and Gentle relaxed not. The divided pop
uiace Of Salt Lake would come TO no
truce, no step toward mutually of ac-
tiOn calculated to save the city from
! lasting TepTOaCh and permit its distin-
guiShed guest to depart with the god
/ speeds of all. Made the vehicle, if not the
/ victim, of muSs that violated every ten
/ ct of hospitality, every prOprlety in re-
speCt to time and place. President Taft
| yet was enabled-thOugh by the exercise
/ of other qualities than the mere sense of
humOT-tO eXtriCate himself with dignity
and self-respect preserved and temper I'M
Tuffied. The suggestion that by going
TO the tabernacle he gave sanction to
DOlygamy is too far-fetched to be taken
up here, while the charge that he sought
/ political advantage is equally gratWtOus.
/ salt Lake should not feel sighted if
/ future Presidents, in picking out stopping
places. give that town the gO-by.
Supposing Utah should be punished
/ by the refusal of future Presidents to
visit this city-who is responsible for it?
Clearly not the committee in charge
Equally clear is the conclusion that
/ Tom KeaTns and his deIuded friends are
to blame.
! Those people determined from the be-
/ ginning that President Tafts visit to
/ Salt Lake should not be successful.
They resolved that they would make
/ just as much trouble as they could.
/ They dragged the Ministerial associa-
ton into their bad plans, and lost no op-
portunity to give the distinguished Wis
itor the very worst instead of the very
best impression of Salt Lake.
/ And Tom Kearns, with his own paper,
reached the eliminating point of home
! defaming cussedness when he caused to
be printed that scandalously untrue
statement that Governor Spry refused
/ to go into a non-M Mormon meeting house
with the President; and was forced to
do so by the crushing command from
the Presidents own personal repre-
sentative, Captain Butt.
| To that was added the KeaTns state
ment that Senator Reed Smoot did not
enter the church in question at all; that
/ he refused on the ground that he was
a Mormon. And yet not a word of truth
was contained in either statement. And
Tom Kearns' own paper was compelled
to print the retraction-after which il
completed the Kearns climax of in
fanny by. discharging an innocent and
| irresponsible reporter. while the real Of
| tenders remained unhurt and I'M
ashamed.
We think the Washington Post is in
error as to what may happen in future.
President Taft is perfectly informed as
to the incidents here in Salt Lake. He
/ knows the Kearns crowd made the
trouble, and does not hold the city re-
sponsible He knows the bottomless
