VIRGINIA ORCHARDS.

The Washington Herald says
in speaking of Virginia's or
chard interests and the vast
possibilities Of extension:
Virginia is one of the most
highly favored fruit-grOwing
States i'm the Union. Apples,
peaches, pears, cherries, quin-
ces, plums, damsons, and
grapes are in great abundance
while the smaller fruits, such
as straw berries, and currents.
raspberries. blackberries. and
gooseberries, are plentiful.
The foothills of The Piedmont
and Blue Ridge are specially
adapted 10 tn apple, some
orchards producing as much as
$3.50 10 $500 per acre. The
peach, requiring somewhat
warmer climate, abounds more
plentifully in Middle Virginia
and Tidewater.
Apples may be said 10 be
the principle fruit crop of the
State. They are extensively
grown, and there is yearly
increasing number Of trees
planted. la one of the valley
counties "a seventeen. wear old
orchard of 500 trees produced
an apple crop ia 1905 which
brought the owner $4,000:
another IF fifty, 25 year old
trees brought 800. II +. Van
deman, one Of the best-known
borticulturists in the country,
says there is not IN all North
America better place 10 plant
orchards than in Virginia. He
says:
For rich apple soil, good
flavor, and keeping qualities OF
the fruit, and nearness to the
great markets of the East and
Europe. your country is wonder
fully favored.

It will be noticed that both Franz and Coffey played only small number of games. This is the official average for the positions that they qualified for. Both men have played more than this number of contests. but their aver ages were recorded for their special positions.
 Besides these cups there ares cups coming from the S. Loeb Go. of New Haven and the Victor Co. The league has a verbal contract with the New Haven firm that they should receive 5 per cent of the order which the various teams of the league placed with this firm. The league has bought $500 worth of goods from them which means that there will be a rebate of about $30 coming. Secretary Wetstine. who sat in his new office for the first time. was instructed to confer with this firm to see if two cups of the value of one could not be obtained. It is the intention of the directors to have one of these cups go to the Singer Go. team as third prize. and the other to- gether with the Victor cup, to the best infielder and outfielder. Who these men are has not yet been announced.
 As last evenings session was prob ably the last i'll which the regular lea que business had to be attended to, the Board of Directors extended a vote of thanks to President Buckingham Treasurer Holmes, and ex-Secretary Mclaughlin Cor the interest they have displayed in the organization, in giv- ing up their time that the organization might be advanced.

Jewel Case Evidence
 in; Arguments Begin

The defense in the trial of Abraham and Ida I.ebenthai for the theft of Mrs. Charles M. Coles jewels, was given severe setback yesterday aft ernoon when David Holzmann, the un- cle of Morris Gordon, the conductor who found the jewels, testified on the stand that on July 49he was working in the store of Nathan Hirsch in Hal lett street. This was in the nature of rebuttal of the evidence given by the witnesses for the defense that Holzmann attempted to sell some jew elry to Jacob Blitt on July 4 at the home of Mrs. Remiz, Wall street.. The State also produced Frank B. Jaynes, a civil engineer, who made careful diagram of the interior of the Leben- thai store at Newfield and Stratford avenues, and said that it was possible to see the inside of the store, from one of the windows on the Newfield ave- nue side. The defense had said that this was impossible. Holzmann had testified that he had seen Lebenthal hand Gordon bag of jewels while the latter two were in the store. Young Gordon was on the stand yes terday afternoon and denied all the testimony of Mr2 and Mrs. Lebenthal and the witnesses for the defense.
 All the evidence was in by 4:3C o'clock at which time Attorney B. K. Nicholson, who has been assisting the States Attorney in the case, began the arguments.
