WONDERFUL EXHIBITS
AT BIG APPLE SHOW

Sill catering large crowds, the
apple show is as popular as ever,
and will remain SO until it closes
Saturday night. The Judging is
over at present and one is enabled
to tell what displays will go to Chi
cago. One of the very interesting
classes for which prize awards were
made in the department in the arm
ory, where the jellies and pre-
serves, as well as freak and unusual
apples are exhibited. Jellies, APP
pie butter, cider, apple vinegar, pre-
served apples and everything in
this line, including apple pies,
which seem to have been gener-
ously sampled by the judges, are
there upon the shelves. You are
not privileged to taste them, OF
course, but if you want to see per-
feet samples of apple cookery, there
is the place to visit. OF course,
none of it is like the kind your
mother used to make, but it is very
fair for this generation.
On one of the shelves are three
apples upon plate. You look in
amazement at first, for they are
withered and shrunken until they
are half the size of an ordinary
Jonathan. Surprised and wonder
ing, you look at the printed slip at
tached and then your surprise prob
ably gives way to true amazement,
for you are informed that those
three Jonathans were picked on Oc-
tober Z, 1907. There were more of
them originally. The original num-
Der took prizes in the first and sec
ond National Apple shows as the
best keeping apples, and this year
there are three of them left. The
entries under unique lettered or
figured designs drawn upon ap-
pies" are interesting, and the work

INTEREST NOW CENTERS IN
-. PREPARATIONS FOR GRAND JURY

The appeal of John 7. Sullivan to
the superior court for writ to stay
proceedings in the order for his
saspsasiou- issued by the city coun-
aforementioned by the interest
centered in the proposed grand
jury investigation of the police de-
paftment and the city hall.
/, Whatever legal steps Sullivan
and Pratt may take to meet the
emergency that has arisen because
of the action of the city council,
they can not foretell what will be
done if fearless, honest and
searching grand jury is started.
That grand jury is coming is
the belief of men who have follow
ed the police scandal and are ia
miliar with conditions at the city
hall. When the city council asked
for grand jury and backed up it's
demands with the sworn testimony
showing corruption in the police de-
partment, there is no way for the
judges to avoid their responsible
ties in calling a grand jury, as
prayed for.
There is more liability of a clash
over a special prosecutor than
there is over the calling of grand
jury, and it is thought that the
matter of a special prosecutor can
be adjusted, in conformity with the
wishes of the city council AS a
recent grand jury inquiry at Sc
attic. when public officials were
under investigation, a special prose-
s.cutor was appointed to conduct the
work.
The hearing of John T. Sullivan's
application for a writ of review,
filed yesterday, will come up next

seems to be doing as much business
as ever. Some souvenir boxes were
