ia Concerns Can Give Ice Away.

Harrisburg. Pa. Nov. 19.-Whether

vania shall be allowed to increase their
liquor traffic by giving ice away to
favored customers. or by selling 1t Mt

quo warranto proceedings which came

demand for Michigan Fruit is Great
Boost for Orchards.

Holland, Mich, Nov. 19.-Western
Michigan nursery men report an un-
precedented sale of young apple trees
and Indications point to the fact that
the immediate future. will witness a
large and steady development of com
mercial apple-raising in the famous
iruit-belt, extending through several
counties. Fennville orchards this year
netted their owners nearly $500, 900 and
produced a crop of apples variously
estimated from $4,000 to 1OO,O 900 bar
rels Most of the crop was sold on the
trees. Orchards which formerly sold
Tor song are now valued at fabulous
prices and are yielding their owners
in many instances $500 per acre and
upwards. 1t is reported on good au-
thority that one orchard Of so acres

Not Likely Coming Session of
Congress Will Take up Fin
ancial Matters.
COMMISSION NOT YET READY
Body, Of Which Senator Aldrieh is
Chairman, Does Not Yet Know Just
How to Proceed to improve Financial
Legislation-No Report Until Next
Session is Nearly Over.

Washington. Nov. 19.--Much interest
Is manifested in the meeting here to-
morrow of the National Monetary COM
mission. Speculation is rife as to what
recommendations the commission may
make and also as to what may be de-
cided upon in regard to financial legls-
lation at the coming session of con-
gress.
The general impression here is that
there will be no attempt at financial
legislation at the coming session. This
impression is confirmed by the several
recent speeches of Senator Aldrich,
chairman of the commission, i'm which
he has said that if called upon to frame
national currency legislation at this
time he would not know how to pro-
ceed. Other members of the commits
sion have expressed themselves to the
same effect.
Granting this to be true. it is never
theless reasonable to suppose that the
commission will be Influenced to n con-
siderable extent by the views of three
of it's leading members-Senator Aid
rich, who is generally supposed to ia
vor the central bank plan; Represent
ative Vreeland of New York, chair
man Of the house committee on bank
ing and currency. who, through a
speech made not long ago. stands COM
mitted to the central bank plan, and
Senator Burton of Ohio, who. to a GER
tain extent, is believed to hold the same
views.
1t is believed here that the results of
Senator Aldrichs recent trip in the
west will have a great deal to do with
the time of filing the report of the
monetary commission and the subse-
quent activities of congress in the mat
ter. The Rhode island senator under
took the trip with the idea of ascer-
tanning, at FIRST hand, the drift of sem
timent in the middle west toward
plan Of currency legislation and with
particular reference to the central bank
idea.
1t Is now considered probable that
the monetary commission will not make
it's report until the next session of
congress is nearly over, which would
make the enactment of legislation i'm
possible-except by extra session--un-
til the ensuing short session. There
is no prophet who will venture to sug-
gest whether or not a special session
of congress will be called to deal with
the question, which is more important
and even more vexing nits ramifica-
tions than the tariff. inasmuch as there
is ordinarily little time for aught save
the regular money bills at short ses-
sion of the national legislature; but 1t
seems to be certain that there will be
nothing doing in the near future. Fur
thermore It is understood to be the
purpose of the minority members of
the commission, including Senator'S
Bailey and Money, who are hostile to
the establishment of a central bank, to
oppose any effort on the part of Sem
ator Aldrich to force action on the
question this winter.

WHiTEWAsH THE COAL.
Railroads Use This Means to Prevent
Theft From Cars,
A Milwaukee dispatch says;


Several of those Milwaukeeans who
do not live in steam-h heated flats and
who have to lay in their own winter
supplies of coal, have noticed that
many of the Jumps this year are coated
with whitewash.
This has set them to wondering
what was the reason for the unique
decoration. Although the whitewash
may be considered to have improved
the appearance of the black diamonds,
coal beautiful was not the object in
view.
One morbidly curious slave of the
furnace couldn't sleep until he found
out why his coal was whitewashed, so
he jumped to telephone and called up
the coal dealer, who gave this explain
alton:
'rhe whitewash is done by the rail-
roads, to prevent wholesale robbery
from coal cars. Coal thieves have an
noyed the railroads for years and years.
stealing thousands of tons OF fuel an
nually. AS the great carloads of forty
or more tons apiece are being carried
from the mines in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and wherever anthracite is mined, II is
very easy for unscrupulous persons to
remove a ton or two from a car with
out causing any noticeable change in
the appearance of the load. 1t is only
when the car again is put on the scales
that the shortage is detected. and then.
as a rule. II is too late TO trace the
guilty persons.
so the railroad men have adopted
the whitewash method to check depre-
dations and safeguard their freight.
After car of coal has been loaded at
the mines a solution of lime and water
is sprayed over the coal. and when the
water has evaporated a white coating
OF lime remains on the top layer of
Jumps. II any of the coal then is re-
moved IL leaves black patch upon
the white surface. Thus the inspectors
and station agents get on to a robbery
Immediately, and are able to search
for the thief before the car leaves the
scene of the theft. As a rule the often
der is quite easily traced"

HOTEL CLERKS TROUBLES.
Many inscriptions Left BY Guests on
Registers Are lliegible.

III there Is any class of men in the
world who are entitled to qualify as
handwriting experts 1t is hotel clerks.
The high priests of the register ana
latchkey should certainly be admitted
to the witness stand without question
by any Judge in the land. And their
testimony regarding a forged sigma
ture would doubtless be as accurate
as that of the high priced experts who
now stand the withering fire of the
hypothetical question.
For so many moons has the hotel
clerk been the target for the shafts of
every near humorist in the country
that the public has gained the idea
that he is in the same class with the
trust magnates, creature whose
whole life is one untroubled, naughty
round OF bossism.
But he does have his little vexa-
tions, as the clerk of any of the local
hotels can tell. In at the front door
comes a guest. who from his sartorial
layout appears to be good for the best
room i'm the house and from a quarter
up in tips. .rt
There is a mad rush of bellboys
and porters. His grip, his hat. his
cane, his coat, are snatched from him
by willing hands.
When he reaches the desk the clerk
is there with the urbane manner also.
1t Is part of q clerks business to know
each guest by name and the way he
generally does this Is to wait till the
man registers reads the name and then
remark. "well send your things up
right away, Mr.. Smith" This leads
the guest to think that he is well
known and it makes him feel good.
But when the prosperous appearing
one arrives with his galaxy of atten-
dants, and registers the clerk attemp-
ting his usual coup is dismayed to
find that the name has been written
so illegibly that he cannot read 1T.
He must know the name in order to
enter II on the books and he cannot
ask because the guest may be sensi-
tive regarding his handwriting. 1t is
then that he must do some tall study
ing.

CHANGE CHURCH ASSEMBLY.
Detroit Presbytery Recommends Small
er Body and Triennial Meetings.

In sending a reply yesterday to
certain recommendations of the Pres
byterian general assembly Detroit
Presbytery suggested that the general
assembly be made triennial and that
the composition OF the executive com
mission of the denomination be
changed, and that body given power
to transact certain business which now
necessitates the calling together of
the general assembly each year, says
the Detroit Free Press.
The action was taken at the sug-
gestion of DIR. w. T. Jaquess, who,
at a former meeting of the Presby-
terry, had been appointed to formu-
late an answer to a communication
from the committee on overtures of
the general assembly In adopting
the report the presbytery went on
record as favoring a reduction in the
and change in the basis of represen-
tation.
At present commissioners are chos-
EN- on the basis of the number of min
listers in a presbytery Detroit Pres
bytery believes that the basis should
be the number of ministers and laymen
because this change would do away
with representation from pres
have a large number of retired cler-
gymen on their rolls.
The communication adds. however,
that had Detroit Presbytery been
unrestrained in its choice, it would
have declared for no reduction in the
size of the general assembly. with a
provision that the body meet once i'm
three years. Also that the executive
commission consist of one member
from each state synod. TO be elected
by the moderator of the general as
sembly. not necessarily with regard to
territorial distribution.
The suggested extension Of the COM
missions powers caused some discus
sion because one or two saw in II n
tendency toward a commission form
of government for the denomination.
The presbytery also proposed a sys-
tenn of overtures and replies that would
bring the executive commission in
closer touch with the presbyteries and
give the latter a stronger voice i'm the
government of the church.
