From the New York World.
Alfred Ennis, a lawyer. went to the
district attorneys office yesterday and
saw private secretary CrannelL II rep
resent -narles Barry said Mr.. Ennis.
He was well-known note broker In
this city and since October last has been
in Sing Sing prison under a sentence
of not less than one nor more than five
years. Is there any way by which Mr..
Barry can be transferred to the Tombs
to serve his sentence there?'
IAN unusual request, sir declared
Mr.. Crannell. May l inquire what is
behind ths?
MY client is a vegetarian" replied En-
mis-. I'm Sing Sing they serve more
meat than vegetables, and meat does not
agree with Mr.. Barry. If he were in
the Tombs he could have nice fresh veg
etables sent in to him.
Sorry" Mr.. Ennis, said Mr.. Gran
nell, "but this is not in our line. am
afraid Mr.. Barry will have to continue
to dine 0n steaks and roasts."

THEATRE HAT QUESTION

Paris, May 21.-(Special Thanks to the
artistic beauty of his beautiful portrait of
Mrs. William Ellis Corey, wife of the
steel king, the fortune of the painter,
Jules Cayron, is made. Mrs. Corey's por-
trait. l do not think, has been exhibited.
1t was seen by many distinguished peo-
pie while hanging on the walls of the
artists studio. The result is Cayron has
been literally bombarded by beautiful
American and French ladies for portraits.
Among these l may mention the Count
ess Odon de Lubersac, formerly Miss I.iv
eromre of Boston. Cayron has made
also a great success of her portrait. 1t
shows above all the quiet elegance and
distinction that characterizes the Ameri-
can countess.
Another portrait of an American girl
by Cayron is that of Miss Edith Pulitzer,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer
of New York. This picture has been ex-
tensively viewed in the salon of French
artists and has made Cayron quite the
talk of the town. But of all the por-
traits he has painted none has been adj
mired quite so much as that of Mabelle
Bilman Corey. The eyes of this portrait
are remarka ble-luminous and blue as the
lapis lazuli.

The International Art union, of which
Mrs. Whitney Hoff is president, Is now
holding an interesting exhibition in the
gallery of Modern Artists. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that Mrs. Hoff is the
daughter of the late Commodore Whit
ney of Detroit. She is distinguished not
only as philanthropist but as a chat
elaine, her chateau on the banks of the
Loire being one of the finest residences
in France.
The International Art union is only in
tended for women exhibitors. While its
members number IS nationalities, Amer
leans may be said to predominant. For
instance, | saw snowy landscape paint
| ed by a lady from Iceland, by the side of
a picture of Gladys Wilkinson of Cincin-
natl. There are in all about $50 pictures
exhibited here. Mrs. Hoff offers generous
money prizes, which are adjudged by the
| best known painters of Paris. These
judges are notably Walter Gay and Hen
ry ID. Tanner, both we'll known American
| painters.

From the fashionable resort of Aix-les-
Bains seems to have come a final solu-
ton of the perplexed theatre hat ques-
ton. 1t is very simple. The ladies are
separated into two classes-those who
wear hats and those who do not. Hatless
see the stage over the mountainous peaks
of flowers and feathers of birds of their
own kind. This really seems to me to be
brilliant idea and hear it whispered
that no less a parsonage than your own
Pierpont Morgan, who frequents AK, is

heartily congratulate him, and so will

SPEAK ON APPLE CULTURE.
Or. s. A. Robinson, of Old Virginia
Praises Oregon Apples.

Portland Members of the Portland
Apple Growers club were afforded an
opportunity to listen to two addresses
at the regular meeting at the Y. M. c..
A. recently. M. o. Lownsdale, of La
fayette, owner of one of the largest
apple orchards in the Willamette val
ley and having 80 years. experience in
raising apples, was the first speaker.
He was followed by an address by DR..
S. A. Robinson, vice-president of the
State horticultural society of Virginia,
and member of the Royal society of
England.
DIR. Robinson telling why Oregon
apples bring the highest prices in the
markets Of the world said in part:
"You in Oregon are being taught to
underestimate your competitors. There
are a number of sections which you
must take into account. Canada, along
the st. Lawrence river and around the
Great Lakes, Nova Scotia and few
other sections are as productive as the
Pacific Northwest and while the apples
of these sections do not compare with
the first and second pack of Oregon
they are good commercial apple. But
your apples are the best and it is be-
cause they are the best that they draw
the great prices.
"The production of strictly fancy
apples will never be overdone. They
will always meet demand command.
ing high price, both because of the
small area fitted for such apples ant
on account Of the increasing popula
tion which is demanding the highest
priced apples. In New York City {
few years ago 1 saw apples piled OF
the docks, simply Cutting the market
and with greater quantity sent il
than ever before. They were being
sold-good commercial apples-for II
cents barrel. Two trainloads of ap
pies were left standing unopened. Blu
with this glutted market Oregon ap
pies were being held at $3.50 to SAC
bushel box and the dealers were glat
to get them at that price. That show
the way Oregon apples are thought o
in the East and what will be paid fo
the very best.
