OLD TREE STILL PRODUCTIVE
Planted by Governor EndIeott Nearly
Three Centuries Ago, u 6ears
Yearly Crop Of Fine Fruit.

Thought to be the oldest fruit tree
In this country, the pear tree planted
$50 years ago by Governor Endicott Of
Massachusetts, Is still thriving well and
bearing yearly crop Of fruit OF the
first quality. John Endicott purchased
a large tract Of land at DanverspOrt,
then known as the southern section Of
Salem village. The estate afterward
became known as the Endlc0tt plan
tation. Governor EndicOtt, being q
great lover Of sugar pears, sent to q
relative In Dorchester, England, for a
pear tree. After several months the
tree arrived, and at that time few peo-
pie ever believed that the tree would
live, as the roots had become very dry.
The governor, believing that he, bet
ter than anyone else, was the proper
man to plant the tree, journeyed to the
plantation and there, In sheltered
spot close to the Danvers river, dug
hole and carefully planted 1t. For
many years he cared for II himself,
and 1t was not long before 1t became
the most famous of all fruit trees Of
Massachusetts,. This year II Is esti-
mated that there were close to 5000
pears on the tree. Few people who
visited Danvers missed the opportunity
of seeing this wonderful tree, which
was carefully guarded by picket
fence. The tree is made up Of three
distinct trunks, which are partially de-
cayed, although the upper section Of
the tree Is quite healthy In appearance.
Endicott himself used to relate that
the tree supplied sufficient number
Of pears to supply the entire Salem
village, which In those days numbered
less than one hundred inhabitants.
When Governor Endicott died In the
year 1865 special mention was made
in his will In regard to the famous tree,
which was left in care of his daughter.

SHIPS COMMAND HIGH PRICES
Rise In Values Of All Kinds OF Steam.
ers Since Outbreak OF War Has
Been Enormous.

Extraordinary figures have recently
been fetched by steamers, especially
smaller and older steamers. that the
admiralty does not covet for Its own
use, states the London Economist. For
instance, n small steamer Of $50 tons
gross, built In 1904. and suitable only
for the coastlng and continental trade,
changed hands n short time back nj
$4,000, the price working out ut
more than $40 ton gross and fl0O n
ton net. In peace times, II she had sold
for fi2 ton she would have made a
good enough bargain for her owners,
so that the rise In her value Is quite
fantastic. Under such conditions own.
FRS are naturally tempted to sell their
property and keep the money by them
TO be Invested In shipping when prices
fall. So long Ms the ships are not sold
out Of the country no objection cun be
taken, and II Is significant that the big
fleet Of the London h Northern com.
pany was recently sold outright ut q
price that gave the shareholders pre-.
MUM Of 400 per cent on their holdings,
and left enough over to compensate the
managers TO the extent Of f250QQ0.

Mr.. Hershhe1d carried the letter to
Berlin and mailed it there. On his
return here several weeks later he was
informed that the letter had not been
