His First Banana

1t is strange TO realize that less
than forty years ago banana was
as strange in this country as a base
ball game in England today Fred
erick Upham Adams, in The Con-
quest OF the Tropics" describes how
he met his first banana-in 1876, at
the cenennial Exposition in Phila-
delphia. He had seen a stunted ba-
mana tree in the horticultural exhibit;
the same day his father noticed some
small cylindrical objects wrapped In
tin FOIL in a fruit shop.
What are these?" he asked of the
clerk, taking one from the basket and
looking at 1t curiously.
Bananas" proudly replied the
salesman. Bananas just imported
from South America. They are a
great luxury, sir, and this is the only
place in Philadelphia which handles
them.
Bananas in tin foil!' exclaimed
my father. II presume most of your
customers think they grow that
way?"
"They are a novelty, sir, and only
our best customers call for them.
May | wrap up some for you2'
How much are they?"
eTen cents apiece, or six for half
a dollar"
Mr.. Adams adds that they were
only one third the size of the golden
fruit we are accustomed to today.

R|OT|NG H|NDUS
HELD IN HARbOR
No Action Against Mutinous
Crowd Refused Landing for
Two Days.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 20-No
move will be made for a couple of
days to take out of the harbor the
steamer Komagata Maru and her
300 Hindu passengers, who have been
refused landing by the Canadian i'm
migration authorities. Such was the
decision reached today. The likeli-
hood is then that the Canadian
cruiser Rainbow will be ready to
cross from Esquimault- the British
naval station, where she has been
repairing. for the purpose of convoy
ing the Japanese vessel beyond the
three-mile limit, if not further.
The Hindus on the komagata
Maru are in a jubilant mood today,
though relaxing none of their watch
fulness. The tug Sea Lion is circling
around the big vessel and relays of
men are standing guard to give the
alarm for repelling boarders. On
shore there is division in the ranks
of local Hindus and in the Sikh tenn
pie last night there was the nearest
approach to trouble there has been
seen in Hindutown for some time,
when one accused another OF treach-
cry.
OF the men wounded in Sunday
mornings battle, only two Of the po-
lice remain in the hospital suffering
from their injuries and they, it is
expected, will be out in the course
OF few days.
The orders of the Dominion gov
eminent to get the Komagata out Of
the harbor as quickly as possible will
result in the vessel being sent away
within forty-eight hours, probably
with the assistance of Admiral
KingsmilI and his crew on the Rain
bow.
pitched battle between immi-
grafton inspectors, special police and
the Hindus took place on board the
Komagata Sunday when the ships
officers asked shore aid in handling
their belligerent passengers. The
Hindus. it is said, used force in pre-
venting the officers from getting the
ship under way.

Hope to Adjust Wage Dispute
Between Workers and West

CHICAGO. July 20. Hopes for a
satisfactory adjustment of the wage
dispute between the enginemen of the
western railroads and their employ
ers took definite shape today with
the assembly of the Federal Board Of
Mediation. whose, good offices have
been accepted by both sides.
William L. Chambers, chairman Ct
the mediation board; Martin A..
Knapp. Federal Judge, and G. W. W.
Hanger, assistant commissioner of
labor, arrived here yesterday to rep

forming them their property would
be saved.
The fire department soon had sew
eral streams directed on the burning
structure. Flames were mounting
high, and from distant points it APP
peared the whole hotel was ablaze.
1t was necessary for the flremen to
cut through the walls of the dining
room to fight the blaze. They were
so careful in their work, however.
that there was scarcely any water
damage done to the main wings of
the hotel In less than half an hour
the firemen had the blaze under con-
troll. The firemen found the dense
smoke which drifted through the
building considerable handicap.
Although practically the whole city
of Asbury Park and the residents of
the adjoining towns were awakened
by the shrill blasts of locomotive
whistles which took up the alarm
of fire there was little excitement.
Even . in the Hotel Reynolds, which
is only a few feet from the struc
ture which was burned, the patrons
were alarmed but little when they
were hidden leave their beds and

Many wanted to go into the hotel
for their clothing after the fire vas

aged, but some were permitted to &c

fireman and a policeman.

SPEAKING FOR SHERMAN

We have Mark Twain's word for 1t
that he "saw service" on the Confed-
crate side during the Civil War, but
that did not prevent him from be-
coming a close friend of General
William t. Sherman. In his biogra-
ply of Mark Twain. Albert Bigelow
Paine tells this amusing story of the
humorist's trip as self-invited guest
in the generals private car:
The Armyfof the Potomac gave a
dinner in Hartford on June 5, 1881.
General Sherman attended the BAN
quet, with Robert t. Lincoln. then
secretary of war. The next morning
Clemens and DR.. Twichell left for
West Point, where they were to ad-
dress the cadets. To their train was
attached the private car of Secretary
Lincoln and General Sherman. This
car was at the end of the train, and
Clemens and Twichell went into the
car to wait for them.
When the train started, Lincoln
and Sherman came in. The general
came up to Clemens, who sat smok-
ing unconcernedly.
"Well," he said, who told you you
could go in this carp
Nobody" said Clemens
do you expect to pay extra fare?
asked Sherman.
mo" said Clemens. II don't ex-
pect to pay any fare
"Oh, you DON'T Then you'll work
your way"
sherman took off his coat and mil
itary hat, and made Clemens put
them on
Now" said he. whenever the
train stops, you get out on the plat
form and make speech"
1t was nSt long before the train
stopped, and Clemens, according TO
orders, stepped out on the rear plat
form and bowed to the crowd. There
was a cheer at the sight of his mill
tary uniform. Then the cheer waned;
a nurmur of uncertainty arose, fol-
lowed by an undertone OF discussion.
Presently somebody said:
Say, that amt sherman, that's
Mark Twain" which brought an
other cheer.
So sherman had to come out, too,
and in the end both spoke. They
kept this up at the different stations
and sometimes Robert Lincoln came
out with them. am when there was
time all three spoke, much 10 the
satisfaction Of Gheir audiences.

should be made up The others were
not SO voluable,
The listeners could hardly be
blamed for taking it all in, as they
had paid for the privilege of riding on
the shore express and had not been
furnished with ear muffiers nor shock
absorbers They were SO impressed
with the information obtained that
they felt in duty bound on returning
to Newark this morning to tell others
all about it.
1t wouldn't sound nice to those who
were declared to be "out of the run
ming" to be told exactly what was
said as to why they wouldn't do.
Among those who the quartet seem
to agree upon as men to be asked
to enter the race were Franklin Conk-
lin, president Of the Flood & Conlxlin
varnish manufacturing concern, and
Daniel H. Dunham, head of the Fire
mems Insurance Company.
That was all right for the train
trip, but from other sources comes
the information that the political dis
cussion was continued on the beach

PUERTO MEXICO. July 20
General Huerta today shrugged his
shoulders and smiled contemptuously
at the idea that the force of Consti-
tutionalists known to be a short dis
lance from here would dare to at
tack this city.
The military companions of the
sfugitive former dictator, however, did
not display the same degree of con-
fidence and an extended line of out
posts was maintained today which
prevented the Constitutionalists from
approaching nearer.
General Huerta continued to pass
most of his time in the railroad car
I'm which he arrived from Mexico
City. Since his arrival here he has
NOT taken an hours exercise.
Now that means of getting away
from Mexican territory have been ar
ranged, there is a marked change in
the bearing of all the fugitives. The
women and children among them
slept late today in an effort to kill
the dreary period of waiting for the
arrival of the little passenger vessel
engaged to carry them away. The
ship was expected to reach here late
today, but it was thought unlikely
any of the party would leave before
tomorrow.

What Borough" Signifies

The word ''burgh'' in Saxon stood
for '.castle;' hence towns anciently
erected in the vicinity of castles for
their protection had this name con-
ferred upon them. and the soldiers
who garrisoned these were called
burshers, so the inhabitants of these
owns received the same name. These
: also being formed into a sommuhity,
the constitution formed for their reg
,ilar government was denofninated the
