SLUMP IN BANANAS.
Drop in Baltimore Prices Following
Heavy Receipts.

A bountiful supply Of domestic fruit.
for which there was a strong demand.
and heavy arrivals of bananas from
Jamaica caused a slump in the banana
market at Baltimore last week and it
was with difficulty that the vessels ar
irving with the fruit from the tropics
were able to dispose of their cargoes. In
some instances fruit that was full ripe
and would not keep and sold as low
as a cent a bunch, and green fruit, at the
auctions, only brought g cents per bunch.
The cargo of bananas aboard one of the
steamers had been ripened so fast by the
warm weather as to be unsalable at any
price and they will be thrown overgoard
while the steamer Is on her way back to
Jamaica. 1t is stated that this is the
first time in a number of years that the
banana market at Baltimore has been
in such a condition and the market is
expected to return to normal conditions
this week.

END OF STRAP
GOOD FOR bALKY HORSE
So Observed Judge Pugh When
He Fined Man for Over
loading.
By MIR. TOM POWERS

"a balky horse is like q balky boy
they're both bad: and the business end
of strap does 'em a heap C. good. A
strap is the greatest thing on d 3th, when
properly used.
1.-The princiias of sparing tn rod and
spelling the cfi.s .,u.lies 70 4-oi Sc. You
can spoil L. &. ar.j IN can spoil a
child in the same wav :. switch IS just
as valuable about q i'...bie as IL l. ...ut
a nursery"
Judge Pugh's Observations.
The foregoing were few of the max
inns laid down by Judge Pugh in the
Police Court yesterday on how to handle
horses. AS he is something more than
an ordinary judge Of horse flesh his
words were hailed as coming from an
expert.
The occasion for the courts remarks
was whether or not Howard Curran was
justified in taking big 1.4O0- pound gray
draft horse out of the shafts of heavily
loaded lumber wagon at the foot OF Con-
balky and substituting in his place a
light buggy horse. AS the load weighed
"a little over 4,70O pounds Judge Pugh
so, adjudged him guilty of overlooking
and fined him IS.
Statement Of Witness.
Policeman Jerry Mccarthy, who ap-
peared as complaining witness. told the
court when one Of Curran's drivers
reached the foot Of the hill large gray
gelding the near horse of the pair he
was driving. stopped. looked up the long
grade and refused to bulge. The driver
failed to induce him to pull. and tele-
phoned Mr.. Curran for advice and assist
ance. Fifteen minutes later the latter
drove up with a light buggy horse. Then
began another session, participated in by
both Curran and the driver. to induce
the gray to do his share in pulling the
lumber up the hill. Nothing would move
him. Mr. Curran fiEally unhitched him
and put the light buggy horse In his
place. When the load reached the top
OF the hill Mccarthy placed Mr.. Curran
under arrest for overlooking.
Wooden Horse No Worse.
THAT gray plug stood there like
wooden horse, your honor" said Curran.
.'It was an emergency. Something had
to be done Neither the driver nor myself
could move him, SO 1 put In the horse /
was driving 1t didn't hurt him."
"A little bit of strap OIL for that gray
would have helped matters considera-
bly" suggested the court.
