MELON |NDUSTRYAT
WHARF IS HARD HIT
Commissioners Bar Sale of
Fruit in Lots of Less Than
twenty-five Hereafter.

A severe blow has been struck at the
watermelon industry at the municipal
fish wharf and market. No more will
individuals 60 thither and buy one or
two watermelons. No longer will the
spectacle be seen Of a large fat man
waddling up the street, a fat water
melon tucked under either arm.
The District Commissioners are re-
sponsible for this blight on the indi-
vidual industry. BY virtue of a ruling
just promulgated "the sale of water
melons and canteloupes from any boat
at the municipal fish wharf in quanti-
ties Of less than twenty-five is hereby
prohibited"
1t has been the custom in season for
various individuals to meet boats COM
ing from truck farms In Virginia and
Maryland. Large juicy melons could
be bought for small sums. II. per-
chance. the boat owner did not care to
sell the melons in these small retail
lots. then some small boy on board
could be persuaded to chuck thick,
red-hearted watermelon over the side in
return for a nickel or a dime
Complaints Of this sort of practice
and desire to protect the general pub
lie with respect TO the quality of fruits
moved the Commissioners to take this
action, which, those who have been
buying melons thus, say is serious
infringement on personal rights.

New Haven Filler
Sideswiped by Freigh,

PROVIDENCE. July 12.-The Knicker-
booker limited, one Of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford's fastest all
parlor car passenger trains, narrowly
escaped serious accident when IL was
sideswiped between Westorook and Say
brook Junction, Conn, by a passing
freight,
The limited was making at least fifty
miles an hour eastbound Just after
passing Westbrook a long freight train
began to thunder past the Knicker-
booker.
A grinding crash brought the pas
sengers in the parlor cars to their feet
amid a shower of glass from broken
windows. A hasty inspection by the
trainmen showed that no one had been
hurt seriously, although windows were
broken in almost all Of the cars
Ripped woodwork. scratched paint,
and broken handrails led the trainmen
to believe that the damage was caused
by a swinging door or a freight car
When the trainmen tried to get the
name and address of an angry pas
senger who had been slightly scratched,
he waved them away.
No. he declared, hotly. "I don't
want to sue the company. but I'm going
to have some proxies in the fall"

that men should be chloroformed after
reaching the three score. is four years
past the time set by him for chloro-
forming. In other words the. illustrious
physician. who has declared time and
again since he was accredited with
the "chloroforming" theory that his
words have been exaggerated, Is cele-

CATHOLIC NUNS ARE
At SUMMER SCHOOL
Three Hundred and Fifty Are
Being Taught Details Of
Teaching Children.

Glimpses in the class rooms Of the
Catholic University summer school,
where more than $50 nuns. representing
fifteen different religious orders, are
being taught, 'readin', 'r!ting', and
| 'rithmetic," and numerous other hard
err subjects, will give the average
Catholic school pupil an idea where his
teacher became so smart"
How to teach is the principal study OF
the nuns enrolled at the school. But
this Is a study covering much more
ground than a person would think on
first hearing one of the sisters declare
that she was learning how to teach.
There are eighty courses in the
curriculum of the university summer
school, embracing history mathematics,
music, art. and other subjects too nu-
merous to mention.
Forty Instructors Attend.
From one end Of the day to the other
the nuns are attending classes. and the
study hall just the same as they make
their pupils do during the term when
they are teaching. Instead of the pic
turesque college chaps that dot the cam
pus of the university and the shadows
its its trees during the regular school
term, every available shade during these
hot summer days in occupied by
student nun.
The instructors in the school number
about forty of the most brilliant educa-
tors of the Catholic Church, the uni
versity heads being cognizant Of the
far-reaching benefit to be derived of
the seed which is sown during the
school term.
Beginning its session on June IS. the
summer school will close its door on
August 9, the present indications being
that this. the third year of the school
history, will go down as a great sue
cess. Following the closing of the
school. the nuns. who have been en-
rolled there during the term will go
into retreat. different periods o time
being taken up by those of the differ
ent orders.
Many Orders Represented.
The student nuns are being housed in
Gibbons Hall, Caldwell Hall, and the
Mission House. They assemble for their
meals at the main dining hall of the
university just as the student in the
law, academic, and other classes Of the
regular university schools do in the
other months of the year.
Represented at the school this year
are the following religious orders of
nuns: The Sisters of the Holy Name.
Ursulines. Sisters of the Incarnate
OF Mary, Sisters of the Holy Union of
the Sacred Heart. Sisters of St. Ann.
Benedictines, Sisters of Charity, Sisters
of Charity Of the Blessed Virgin. Dom
inicans, Sisters of ST. Dominic, Fran
CIscans, Sisters of Mary, Sisters OF ST
Joseph. ana the Sisters of Jesus and

into practice the last few days at At

tary was asked.
"Oh yes, / guess he's got medals al
