Oil Octopus In Touch.

eNow, if, such a conference could
make the sugar interests the devoted
supporter Of Mr.. Taft the question nat
urally arises why something OF the
same kind might not have influenced
Mr.. Rockefeller. There are not the accu-
rate data in regard to the Standard OIL
company that there are relative to the
meeting with the sugar trust, but there
is some interesting collateral evidence
tending to show that somewhere and
somehow the oil octopus got in touch
with the influences that controlled the
then candidate for president. You VIII

SHIPPING BANANAS.
Care Is Needed to Keep Them From
Becoming Overripe.

From the New York Sun.
Before the banana reaches the break
fast table or the hawker's van it may
journey 1000 miles and pass through half
a dozen different hands. The consumer
is generally critical and troubles not at
all about how. when or where the banana
came from so long as it is in good con-
dtion and to his liking.
The shipment of bananas twenty years
ago was a problem the solution Of which
the consumer had to pay for. but now he
reaps the profit of experience in trans
portation. Bananas shipped to America
generally come from the West Indies the
Central America republics, Mexico or
South America, and such great strides
have been made in the methods
used for their shipment that as compared
with the 80 per cent loss OF twenty years
ago from the time the fruit left the
banana groves until Ii reached the con-
sumer's table. the loss is now figured out
at a half of 1 per cent in a special ship
ment.
With the growth of the banana traffic
the banana boats came into being, and a
special line of steamers runs to the South
American ports solely for the conveyance
Of the fruit TO northern shores. Refrig-
orator steamers We're built capable of
handling 10000 punches of bananas and
special provisions made for their care
when on board. NOWADAYS I'm boats of
five and six thousand tons capacity the
facilities for the care of the fruit are I'M
rivaled. and banana boat is unlike any
other steamer. III the holds, instead Of
having room for cargo there are parti-
tons extending from the we'll of the ship
TO the deck. Along the beams in each
compartment are hundreds of hooks
They are used to sling the lunches Of
bananas upon, for bananas should not
be shipped with one bunch touching an
other.
The fruit is first picked green by the
growers and then brought to the steamer
in boats AS each boatload is taken
aboard the punches are placed in the
IefriSerators and slung on the beam
hooks few inches apart When every
compartment is filed the steamer pro-
ceeds on her journey. To every few
compartments there is man in charge
whose duty il is TO examine the punches

Amusing System Of Gambling Found
in Russian College,

torelgn correspondence OF The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, March pa most
amusing system Of betting has just been
discovered at the boys college IN Rostov
on the Don. A race used to take place at
the luncheon hour, when at the first
sound Of the bell professors would dash
OF for their hats and coats and hurry out
Of the building.
They were not aware. however, that
they were being backed against each
other by the boys as to which OF them
would be the first to pass the iron gate
OF the college.
The result was that while some OF the
students Toasted lavishly at the neighbour
Ing cake shop. others forfeited their mod
est luncheon money and remained hungry
for the rest Of the day.
A misdemeanor on the part Of one OF
the youths brought the practice to the
ears OF the authorities. He had tried to
delay one of the ''runners'' by removing
his hat and coat from its usual peg. and
was being severely chaatised for the deed
when the headmaster arrived on the scene
and froced from him full explanation.

Ject OF morning or evening addresses to
their congregations. While It is a fact
that the actual machinery OF the cam
paign for cleanliness was not started un-
til this morning. the lessons taught yes
terday by the ministers gave real in
spiration to the workers in all walks of
life to enter with enthusiasm on the task
at hand.
Rev. John Van Schaick, jr., pastor Of
the Church Of Our Father, Universalist,

against unsightly and insanitary vacant
lots. streets, alleys and back yards when
he emphasized:
1.-THE opportunities for service at hand. %
THE possibilities Of united action"
THE relation Of religion to ciyics."
Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor Of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
drew a lesson from the topic: "Cleanlfs
ness is Next to Goodness"
That Washington should be "clean
physically, as well as clean morally
