~. PETERSBURG. Oct. 24---Grslnd
a Duchess Elizabeth, the czarina's
~ sister. and widow of murdered
Grand Duke Sergius, is steadily
lapsing from religious eXaltation into
religious mania. Thereby she confirms
an ancient Russian provcrb "Vsio
umui semi portiatsa vmcstie"--"all the
brains of n family go wrong together"
The provcrb applies because it is cs-
Sentially the same nervous malady
which aftlicts the Czarina Alexandra In
F'ricdberg castle ana her sister, Grand
Duchess Elizabeth, in her Moscow coll.
The expression alone differs. '.Alcxan-
dra Feodorovna" has the mania of
persecution, and believes that all the
world Is conspiring against her life.
elizabeth F'codorovnH" believes that
tho heavens are leagued against her:
and that she Can save her soul alone
by wrestling with her accusing con-
science. by spending her days in holy.
works, and her nights In anguished
prayer. Thus destiny, With an irony
even more than usually grim, afilicts
with spiritual gloom the two Anglo
German prlncesscs. not long ago the
widest, bravcst and mcrriest OF all the
daughters Of Europos courts.
How intense are the exaltation and
ecstasy In which tho grand duchess
lives Is shown by her latest 0b5ession.
1t Is the obsessi0n of an cXptntory pill
grimagc to Jcrusalcm: and already the
plan is being worked out In detail.
Should the grand duchess fulii her In

helm on the Mount of Olives. BY such
a pious pilgrimage she hopes TO redeem
her sins-.mostly imaginary--and the
very real sins of her dead husband, the
diabolical Serge. In the idea fcrments
the game ncuiotic germ which has sent
tho czarna to her native liesse In the
hope of restoration to lasting health.
Both sisters long p1ssionatcly for spir.
itual peace. The younger sister and
empress finds Il nowhere. The elder
sister now seeks Il with better
chance OF success in the bosom of the
Greek Orthodox church.
TO THE OTHER EXTREME,
Like most people who take to re-
lgion only when all worldly comforts
have failed them, the grand duchess
cherishes her faith with an almost alb
normal Intensity. The most worldly
woman N Russia has suddenly become
the most unworldly. 1t is that which

| is giving people here cause for so mucl
comment. Tho grand duchess devo-
ton to the Greek Orthodox church Is
all the more striking because she was
born outside 1t. and remained outside
1t for years after her marriage. Grand
Duchess Elizabeth Is second of four
daughters of Grand Duke Louis ~ of

the favorite child Of Queen Victoria Of
England. Thc third daughter married
Prince Henry of Prussia, the kaiser's
only brother; and the fourth had the
misfortune to marry tho present de-
generate ear. 1t was from this last
marriage indirectly. that the Grand
duchess's troubles began. Some IL
years before her sister became ear
ina she had welded the Grand Duke
Serge Alexandrovitch. brother OF the
Car Alexander III and uncle of Nicho-
las II. Tho marriage was an unhappy
one. Serge had more brains than his
nephew, but even less character. uf-
like Nicholas H. he was actively wick
ed. and given to such notorious vices
that he was expelled from st. Peters,
burg; and for years kept as governor
general over the unfortunate people of
Moscow. Scrges rule at Moscow meant
unbroknn dcSpotism brutality and
theft The grand duke encouraged
the eXcesses of the police: domineercd
In n way which made him the most
hated man In Russia: and did NOT
scrupo to MI his pockets with money
subscribed for sick soldiers. What made
him hated In still wider circles was his
influence over the miserable Nicholas

finally led to the revolutionary out

FEAR DAMAGE TO
cHE[hN BRIDGE

The new steel bridge has been
seriously menaced for the past few
days and for time it seemed to
be doomed to certain destruction.
Logs from the mill RATS broken up
by the high wind Saturday lodged
against the boom above the bridge
in such quantities that a heavy cur
rent was DETECTED to the north end
of the bridge. The sandy bed of
the river began cutting badly and
one bent of the old wooden bridge
on which the new steel work is sup
ported was carried away, and only
for the heroic efforts of the bridge
crew a second one would have gone.
Had this support washed away, all
the frame work now up would have
collapsed and fallen into the river.
Howeved, if no further accident oc-
ours the iron span over the danger
point will have been so near COM
pleted by tonight that the frame
will support itself.-Chelan Leader.

Woman to Be Tried for Murder.

Boston, Mass, May 21.-Consider-
able public interest has been aroused
in the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Rich
mond, who is to be placed on trial
in East Cambridge Monday, charged
with the murder of Stewart McTav-
ish. Mrs. Richmond was the proprie-
tor of a small hotel in East Cam
bridge, where McTavish was found
dead last August.
The alleged murder is surrounded
by many mysterious and sensational
features McTavish was a resident
of Charlottetown, P. E. l., and it is
supposed that he intended to sail for
home on the night he was killed.
When the mans mutilated body was
discovered in the Richmond house
Mrs. Richmond was found lying in a
stupor on the floor of the kitchen,

Der in which McTavish's body was
found A revolver and a short-han-

Richmond had been drinking freely
and that in a quarrel the man was
beaten to death with the ak.

SHORT PEAR CROP IN CALIFORNIA

of the apple production of Hood
River is Spitzenbergs and Newtowns.
Those are the apples they can grow
and they are devoting themselves to
them. They are producing a fine
fruit and their success shows the
value of their methods
There Is another fruit to be men
toned and that is prunes. The out
look is excellent for the Italians
The market for the green fruit is
increasing and there are but four
producing sections. which are The
Dalles, the Walla Walla country,
territory in southern Idaho, and you
people here in Yakima, and it is
somewhat strange that the number
Of trees does not appear to be in
creasing. In fact in some sections
they are being cut out. OF course
in the new Burbank prunes none of
you can compete with California but
you have field of your own and
apparently excellent prospects.
Good Hope for Yakima.
Now you have the conditions 1
have mentioned, which are increased
demands in the cities, which are out
stripping the country sections; in
fact, that trees are going out in the
east faster than they are coming in
in the west, a curtained crop because
of various conditions and a demand
for the things you best can produce,
namely the pear, the red apple and
the prune. In connection with the
California pear situation may be ad-
ded the fact that the canneries there,
which did not operate last year, are
in the market strong this season for
the best quality Of fruit. When we
were in California, they were pay
ing $42.50 per ton for Bartletts and
we were told that they were anxious
to contract at those and even greater
figures for future seasons, even Of
fering five-year contracts. Men who
should know say that there is not
can of pears in California and that
the cannery folk are ready to go as
high as $50 a ton to get the supply
they will need.
Because we have many friends
and customers here 1 wish to say one
other thing and that is to congratu-
late you Yakima valley people upon
conditions which promise an album
dant crop in a season of excellent
prices"

KENNETH I'll. DAY OF NEW YORK
SAYS CALIFORNIA BARTLETTS
WILL BE BUT so PER CENT OF
CROP.

North Yakima, Wash, May 20
Messrs. Horace w. and Kenneth H.
Day, father and son, of New York,
reached North Yakima Sunday or
their annual visit in search of knowl-
edge regarding the fruit yield of the
United States for the year. Messrs.
Sgobel and Day of New York handle
large quantity of Yakima valley
fruit annually. 1t was to them that
the special test refrigerator car went
two years ago from the warehouse Of
the Thompson Fruit company AMI it
was from them that w. P. Sawyer Of
Parker received checks which estab-
lished him as the record pear man
of the Yakima valley. For two
months the Messrs. Day have been
travelling the fruit producing sections
OF the country AMI they bring mes
sage Of cheer to the growers Of the
Yakima valley.
SdI1OTlud :" GUN Va CxeASs
California" said Kenneth H. Day,
will not have for shipment this
year more than so per cent as many
Bartlett pears as sent out last year.
We now figure her aggregate for this
season at 1900 cars as against 1000
cars last year. For some reason or
other the Bartletts are dropping and
the same conditions exists in other
Bartlett pear producing districts fur
Their north. I do not know how it is
with you people here, as we have not
as yet learned, but every indication
from our point of view as New
Workers, is that such fruit as Is of
quality sufficient to entitle it to be
shipped east will bring excellent
prices. The Bartlett pear, you should
remember, stands in class by itself
and has no competitor. What I
mean by that is that the consumer
who wants a Bartlett pear wants it
and you cannot tell him to take
peach instead He wants Bartlett
and will pay the price. The consum-
ing population is increasing more rap
idly than the producing acreage. You
people may not realize that, but it is
the case.
What the East Wants.
Speaking from the eastern point
of view, will say that what we want
are Bartlett, d'Anyou and Comice

than, Rome Beauty and. Newtown
apples. Your peaches hardly reach
us and so far your Winter Nellis
pears are not up to the standard of
those of California. The growing de-
mand, as we see it, is for the big
red apple, by which I mean that the
white-skinncd apples do not COM
mand a ready sale. Wet get rid of
the largest at home and export the
smaller ones And right here l
would call attention to the need for
producing the very best possible fruit
of any kind that can be raised. What
is the use of paying freight, icing
and commission charges on inferior
fruit? The horticulturist who is not
making money is the man who is
growing AMI attempting to market
an inferior fruit. Not only is he in
juring himself but he is injuring his
neighbor who is trying to raise the
standard and his entire community
as we'll.
Apples and Prunes.
Incidentally, I want to say in
connection with the apple production
that it may be surprise to your
people here to learn that 80 per cent
