EVICTED DUBLIN TENANT
SHOWS CLASS IN PARADE
Sits on Dray with Goods and
Rides Amid Bands

DUBLIN, April SO.-some lively scenes were
witnessed at an eviction, which was carried
ou on Mill street. Ennis, this week. The
evicted tenant was young man named Rob-
ert Stack, who carried on business as
tailor, and who acquired a house which had
formerly been in the possession of an uncle
who died a couple of years ago 1t came into
the possession of the present landlord re-
Gently and he took ejectment proceedings
against Stack. When Acting Sheriff Martin

fastened, and an entrance had to be forced
with crowbars. The effects were then removed
by the bailiffs.

citation band arrived. While the bands were
plaving before the house the police interfered

BANANAS ARE POPULAR
DELlCACY IN GERMANY
Teutons Grab Available Supply
and Ask for More

LONDON, April 3o,-Germany has taken
sudden liking to the banana Shiploads COM
ing from Jamaica and Central America TO
Hull instead of finding their way to Convent
Garden, are being sent away at once to the
continent.
The result is a noticeable shortage in the
London markets. One prominent buyer esti-
mated his supplies as being 5000 punches short
of the orders in hand The retail price is
hardly affected by the shortage which chiehy
hits the middle man.
'"The extraordinary demand for bananas in
Germany" said Mr. Stockley of Messrs. Ell
ders &, Ejyffes "may be compared to the sud-
den demand for them in England few years
ago. SO rapidly has the English taste grown
that the supply during the last ten years mas na
Increased from 15OO,0 900 punches to 1000 900
annually.
"The present shortage Is also due to the
heavy storms which have been prevalent in
Jamaica and America. Those who suffer most
are the street hawkers, who are unable to pay
the higher prices that are being asked. France
is also developing a palate for this kind Of
fruit

CROWN PRINCE A wEAKLlNe

LONDON, April S0.-Although any statement
that the crown prince OF Spain suffers from
serious physical weakness has invariably been
met with emphatic denials in official circles.
1t is, however, unhappily, a fact that the heir
to the throne never has and, it is feared, never
will enjoy perfect health. 1t is a constant
source of grief to King Alfonso and Queen
Victoria to know that their frst-born can
never be other than an invalid In the hope
