APPLES WILL BE HIGH
Crop in the Eastern States Much
Smaller than Last Years

Although ulSpatcneS from Mime
sofa say the farmers of that State
are letting their apples rot on the
ground because there is no market
for them, commission merchants in
New York declare that there is big
shortage in the crop throughout the
country, and that high prices are ex-
pected, says the New York Post. Pric
es have never been so high as they
VIII be this year, according to |,
leading dealer who buys principally
in the large producing districts of
the East, while another dealer, who
goes to the apple districts in Wash
ington and Oregon for his supply.
says that, while prices viii be high.
the shortage in the western crop
does not warrant doleful prophecy.
Last year, when the crop amount
ed to 5O,O00,0O0 barrels, prices were
correspondence low, but il is esti-
mated that this year only about 80
100000 barrels will be raised. Last
years crop sold for 500, 900, 900. ac-
cording 10 one dealer. and, with the
increase in prices, this years crop
VIII undoubtedly bring almost the
same amount.
New York and Virginia are two of
the great apple producing States of
the East, and Illinois and Missouri
OF the Central States, and in both of
these sections reports say that this
wears crop, though of fine quality. is
much lighter than the unusually hea-
Wy one of last year.
Carloads of the large apples which
The Pacific Coast produces are al.
ready arriving in the New York
market-Spitzenbergs, Jonathans
and Newtons-packed in regulation
boxes of one bushel each, each apple
wrapped in duplex paper, and bear
ing the special print of the grower.
The crop of the Pacific North
west and of California" said one of
the largest buyers of Western an.
pies, will be fully 10000 cars of COO
boxes each. so that doesn't look as If
tnere viii be an apple famine. at
least, does it? AS a matter of fact n
complete crop failure is impossible
as one district is sure TO supplement
another. Last year the crop was
particularly heavy all over the coun-
tgy' but this year, when the Eastern
states have light crop, the Pacific
states have come to the front with a
very fair one. There never can no
an over-production, either. as people
VIII always consume apples, if they
can get them at the right price"
Cold weather last spring, coming
az the time the apple trees were in
oioom, said buyer of eastern ap-
pies, was the thing that made the
shcrtage throughout this part of the
country, and in Virginia and New
england. Burlington Free Press.

scratched about the face and head,
but, was not otherwise hurt.
The car had been at the Ideal gar
age in this village for repairs and
Monday forenoon Baker and Har-
wood came here from Manchester
Tor the purpose of taking the car
back to its own garage. They left
this village about $50 O'Clock with a
stranger whom they had found about
the street and who was willing to
take ride.
A short distance this side of the
entrance to the Jennings property
the car ran outside of the travelled
ROAD and one of the rear wheels sank
into the soft earth to such a depth
that the wheel collapsed and the car
crossed the highway and turned ov-
er. According to some reports the

"PlcruRE BOOK CHURCH" OPEN
Stanford Memorial Restored After
1906 Earthquake

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-The Stan
ford University Memorial Church,
partly destroyed by the big earth
quake of 1906. was reopened today
for the first religious service in the
s1,000,00O edifice since that time The
Rev. DR.. Charles Gardner, universi-
ty chaplain, occupied the pulpit.
DR.. Gardner told how Mrs. Stan
ford determined to make monde
nominational church and how she
carried out this plan. The church
was erected in 1903 as a memorial to
Senator Stanford Many visitors
from Europe came to see it because
of its wonderful marble work, which
gained for it the name of the pic
ture Book Church" Some of the
mosaic has been restored, but much
more is being made in Italy.

FIRST HANGING IN 80 YEARS
Death Sentence Likely to Follow Ne
gro Murder In Bermuda

Hamilton, Bermuda, Oct. 5.-Ber-
muda is likely to have its first hang
ing in thirty-three years, as a result
OF the killing today of Chesterfield
Paul by Robert Armstrong, both me-
groes.
Armstrong will be placed on trial
as soon as Chief Justice Sheriff re-
turns from New York, and it is be-
lieved that if a verdict of guilty is
returned against him he will be put
TO death within a month
Old residents remember when a
man named Shelters was hanged in
the Jail yard thirty-three years ago
for the murder of his wife. While
awaiting death Shelters worte a book
telling of the crime. A soldier in the
military prison acted as hangman
and received his liberty as a reward
for his services. A similar provision
for the execution OF sentence will
probably be made in case Armstrong
is condemned TO death.

HER FINGERS MAKE NEW NOSE
Unusual Surgical Operation in a
Washington Hospital

Washington, Oct. 5.-Miss Nellie
Radigan, patient in the Washing
ton Asylum Hospital, will soon have
new nose made from two of her
fingers. The unusual operation has
just been completed by physicians
in the hospital. Miss Radlgan had a
cancerous disease which had eaten
the nose away.
In the presence of seventy-five
Georgetown medical students the
physicians took the young woman's
middle fingers, removed the bones
and nails and then after cutting out
the cancerous tissue fastened the
fingers to her face. The two fingers
were pressed down tight on the cavi-
ty and plaster cast was made to
hold her arm and hand in place
while the fingers grow fast to the
face.
This process will require weeks to
complete, for the flesh of the two fin
gers must join TO make the ridge OF
the nose and the under part must
join to the face.
