Spokane, Was, Aug. 5.-Byron Hill,
foreman at Hillcrest, a 4O-acre orchard
near Sunnyside, WASH. southwest of
Spokane. reports that the apple trees are
so heavily loaded this season that he has
removed more than two-tnirds of the
young fruit to prevent the limbs from be-
ing torn down. Five thousand and thir-

from a IA years old Grimes Golden tree.
leaving more than $500 to mature. Only
20 of the apples picked were wormy. The
crop will run 20 boxes of so pounds each
to the tree, and as there are SIS trees to
the acre this means LOO boxes, or 44,0OC
boxes for the orchard, the crop will have
a value of approximately 100000 this sea-
son. Growers in other parts of Washing
ton say that the crop will be large, run
ming between s. and 80 per cent. The
commercial output of the orchards in
Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana
probably will not be larger than last sea-
son, but the fruit will be of better quality

RICH MAN WEARS BLUEJEANS.

Philadelphia, Aug 5.--Edwin A.
Brown, of Denver Familiarity known as
the millionaire tramp, who is touring
the East endeavoring to interest the
large cities in municipal lodging
houses for the unemployed poor, visi-
ted Mayor Reyburn at the city hall
today and secured from that official a
promise to advocate a municipal lodg-
ing-Eouse for Philadelphia modelled
after the institution of the same sort
recently opened in New York.
During his stay in this city Mr..
Brown in his well-known disguise,
spent several days and nights in vari-
Gus Philadelphia institutions for the
relief of the poor and distressed and
told the mayer of his experience.
M Brown says he is not a million
aire and is not a tramp. He is pos
sessed of independent means, he says,
and for years has devoted himself to
the work of improving the condition of
unemployed workine1hen by securing
for them municipal and state relief
when they are in distress instead of
turning them over to private charity.
To better accomplish this he dresses
he says, in suit of blue jeans and as
sumes the character of an unemployed
workingman, not a tramp

ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES
 IN GERMANY.

Our Berlin correspondent writes on of the Berlin Volkerkunde museum hes just made an extremely interesting dis covery at the so-called RomeI schanze near Potsdam. Excavations were be- gun there last year and have been con- tinued this year with great success. They revealed the existence Of an old spot. which was subsequently taken over by the Slavs. Further investiga- tions go to show that the whole place was thickly and equally spread over with dwellings. The walls of the fort are of wO0d and earth, the gates were great structures of wood. the houses. too. were made of the same material. Naturally. all these buildings have long since fallen prey to the destroying hand of time, but the traces of pillars and of the cavities for fireplaces still clearly show where they were placed. The most interesting discovery of this year is that of a fine old German house, the outlines of which could be clearly t'e~NNs pN hoh StN'h cpOAo Ob tit AOu- side. and four on the shorter one. measured nine meters by six, had a small entrance hall in front and a Granite hearth built into the inner room. in which coal and bones of ami mals were found. The number of old German houses. the situation of which is SO clearly defined. is a very small one. and it is remarkable that here. too. wc meet with the same type of a large inner room leading from hall. as has been found in northern houses in Scanuinavia, and also in Troy, Tyre and Mykenae. one more proof of the existence of common type of Aryan. or at least Aryan- European dwelling house. The fact that second Slavonic hearth cavity contained numerous fish scales and other similar remains tends to the conclusion that the Slavonic set tiers, who came after the Germans. were chiefly engaged in fishing. where as the German Semmones,. to which tribe Professor Schuckhardt is in clined to ascribe the dWellers in the home. appear to have been shepherds. There is still considerable difference of opinion as to the exact period from which the home dates.-Continenta Correspondence.

 ROME.

Rome-Among the various projects by which Italy is to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the declaration of Rome as the, capital of the country Is that, of making a monumental zone around; the cit.- -,
 The zone is. intended to constitute a road which will pass by and make evil dent. the remains of ancient Roman buildings and historical sites. both to the stranger and dweiier in Rome who is interested in these remnants of Ro- man greatness. .
 Moving from the Coliseum. for ex- ample. and passing through the arch of Constantine, the traveller has on his right hand the height of the Palatine separated from his by a wall This wall is to be demolished with the tons of earth behind it between it and the Palatine.
 The actual street that passed be- heath the modern road through the arch of Constantine has been reached. and it is hoped that the new road to be made will keep to the ancient level. so that nothing that is of the old date may be concealed from view.
 Then on the other side there is the great foundation of the Temple of Cludius. now the Passionists' garden. Of the Coliseum. so that any part that is still hidden may be revealed Washington Star.
