Where the Orange Came From

While the luscious orange is he
ing enjoyed all oyer the world,
very Little attention has been paid
as 10 where it orr ginated, and
there are but very few persons
who know anything about the an
cient history of the fruit. 1t will
be interesting to all to know that
China is the home of the orange,
and that it has been known there
DIS fur back as history extends, but
attempts to cultivate and improve
| it extensively is u comparatively
recent Innovation, SO to speak.
Tie following, which appeared re-
Gently in the Cuba Review on this
subject, will be of much interest.
"Chino is the original home of
the orange. From Hindustan the
orange was carried to southwest
ern Asia by the Arabs, before the
ninth century, when it was first
planted in Omau. Afterwards it
was carried to Mesopolamia and
SYRIA. Later it was spread to the
Mohammedans, and to all coun-
tries they conquered. These re-
marks apply to the bitter orange,
which was raised from the seed.
The sweet orange, ALSO grown from
Iced, was cultivated in Ialy early
IN the sixteenth century.
.rrhe two varieties invariably
came from true seed,>o no attempt
was made to improve them until
recently; in fact, more has been
do,e in this line within the men,
ory of the present generation than
in all the proceeding centuries OF
which we have record. Only a
few wears ago IN American woman
r,,yalino ON the east coast OF Bra
I'll. found u seedless orange OF
very fine appearance and flavor,
,:hich she reported on her return
home; a few scions were secured,
and today California owes her
prosperity to the Washington ma,
'al GRANGE as it was named, and
n;ll;ons of these trees are now
fonnd wherever oranges grow.
This was the greatest step made IN
improving the orange culture.
Today we have scores of good va-
roties furnishing fruit practically
all the year.
"Tbe orange is great blessing

ble acid which has many medicinal

Already they have trodden paths
of progress that the elder Berberich
possibly never dreamed of.
But as we said in the beginning, it
is to the elder Berberich to whom the
major portion of the credit is due, and
it is to Robert Berberich, Sir. that this
editorial is dedicated.
Robert Berberich, Sr., could never
be classed as the average man. When
he made shoes himself he was never

THE MAN WHO LAID THE
FOUNDATION.

Z A building is no stronger than the
foundation on which it rests. And
it is the same way with businesses.
The Berberich shoes business of to-
day is builded on the foundation laid
by the senior Berberich forty-four
years ago. He was the pioneer, he
blazed the trail-a trail so broad that
the two Berberich brothers have no
trouble in following it. In fact the
junior Berberich's have inherited the

lstriking example that Mr.. Berber-

passed his shoe business over 10 '"e
next generation. The usual way, the
AVERAGE way, is for the successful!
merchant to keep grasp on his pusl-
ness until divorced from 1t by the
hand Of death. Not so, the elder l'er-
berich.
Several years ago, Berberich, ST..
called his two sons, Robert }. and
Joseph A., into his presence and pre-
sented them with the business which
ho had so carefully builded, then the
biepest single retail shoe house in
Washington. This was done while he
was still in his prime, while the busl-
ness was flourishing. All that he de-
manded of his two boys was that they
should show their ability to build
where their father left off.

as Sign Of Weakening.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 20.-William
Sulzer, the impeached Governor of
New York, was reported to-day to be
on the verge Of a physical collapse.
Worry over the bitter political fight
which Tammany Hall is waging
against him, coupled with anxiety
over the outcome of the impeachment
trial, caused the Governors health to
break
A close friend Of the executive de-
clared to-day that there is no truth
in reports that Mr. Sulzer will re-
sign under fire. This person, who in
timated strongly that he spoke for the
Governor. said that Mr.. Sulzer feels
sure that the impeachment court will
acquit him of the high crimes and
misdemeanors" charged against him.
Governor Sulzer believes that his
foes in the Senate lack fifteen votes
OF the number necessary to find him
guilty.
II is learned that the Governor
wrote long statement to Judge d.
Cady Herrick, his chief counsel, re-
fusing to allow him to give it out.

bilant. They declared that Mr.. Sulzer
is fast weakening and that IL it were

Americans in Mexico
Halt u. S. Intervention.
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD.
On JoNATHAN "

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2O.-"Come
home"
So said President Wilson to about
10000 Americans in Mexico a few
weeks ago.
All right"
This was the answer Of about 30
600 and they at once left the land Of
sands and sombreros for the States.
NO" replied 1OOOO-odd Americans
with stubbornness in their make up
and their money in Mexican invest
ments; we won't come home until
YOU tell US why we should"
And there you have one of the odd
est little problems that nation ever
had to face. It is a problem that
causes President Wilson to think his
brow into worried burrows and take
frequent rests on the golf links.
IT is a problem that causes Secre-
tarv BRYAN to look back on old po-
Iitical battles as child play and 60
ont on the chautauqua circuit for re-
taxation and rest. 1t is a problem
that also battles John Bassett Moore,
sage counselor Of the State Depart
ment.
CONGRESS Dodges Issue.
Congress? Why, Congress has
taken one or two frightened glances
at the problem and gone back to tar
~ and currency legislation with Wis
tb,e relief and alacrity. Congress has
gone inst far enough into the problem
- convince herself that it is one to re
taken up only after studious consiC-
Grafton and then handled only with
kid gloves.
ANY Government official, any army
or naval officer, any foreign diplomat,
and in short anyone who has given
the subject serious thought and is
oompetent to speak, will tell you that
chose 10000 contrary Americans who
have elected to stay in Mexico in the
face Of the presidential request have
furnished the United States with a
nroblem so battling as TO discourage
efforts of its solution.
And here is the reason why: As
long as Americans remain in Mexico
the United States practically is pow
arless to take any action that might
invite Mexico to war or even cause
a bandtti outbreak. As long as there
are Americans on Mexican soil the
hands of the United States are tied.
Huerta may faunt sassy diplomatic
words in the face of President We
son and cause his Minister, Gamboa,
IN frame caustic notes. HueTta may
