Crowded Orchard.

Prof. L. G. Corbett of the United
States Department of Agriculture says
he found in England specimen Of
intensive fruit culture the like of
which he has never encountered be-
fore. Apple trees are planted in rows
Ii feet apart. Between these are plum
trees fianked by gooseberries and cur
rant bushes. The growth is so dense
that the work of cultivation must be
done by hand, and spraying is done
by the installation of a permanent
piping system. The company which
owns this farm maintains preserv-
ing plant for making jam when the
fresh fruit cannot be profitably dis
posed of.

Trouble at Washington.
HAD BEEN ILL ONLY FEW DAYS.
Senate Leader Passes Away at the
Age of Slxty-one Years in His
Apartment at Washington--Had
Never Been Married.

Washington, Jan. 2-Senator Boies
Penrose Of Pennsylvania died here at
II 40 o'clock at night after brief ILL
ness.
Senator Penrose, who was sixty-one
years of age, had been complaining for
some days of severe cold and la
grippe, but 1t was stated repeatedly
by his friends that his condition was
improving and that he would be able
to resume his duties In the senate.
His recent work as chairman OF the
finance committee in handling tax ana
tariff legislation was a greater phys
ical hardship, his friends said. than
he realized.
Reports from Senator Penrose's
apartment at the Wardman Park hotel
earlier In the night indicated that his
condition was not so good anu physi-
clans were constantly with him. The
first notice of his death was tele-
phoned by physician from his apart
ment to the hotel desk.
The senator died of pulmonary
thrombosis, as result of heart fall
ure, DR.. Roy D. Adams, his physician,
announced Doctor Adams and two
nurses were the only persons In the
room when the end came.
His Career in Politics.
Mr.. Penrose one Of the most inter-
esting personalities in the upper house,
which he entered in 1897 as the sue
cessor to the late Senator ]. Donald
Cameron. was one of the wealthiest
bachelors in the senate. An "old
guard" Republican, he was member
Of four important senate committees
namely: the finance committee. OF
which he was chairman; banking and
currency, Immigration and naval af-
fairs.
Chief lieutenant Of Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay, whose representative he
had been in the Pennsylvania legisla-
.tnre for many years, Penrose did not
at first take a very prominent part In
Republican party councils at Washing
ton. Until his death. however. he
never lost prestige as the leader OF
his party in his own state.
Senator Penrose was an unyielding
opponent of the Wilson administration
and particularly Of the draft of the
treaty of peace as submitted to the
senate by President Wilson.
Bitter Foe of Prohibition.
He consistently fought prohibition
legislation. He seldom made speeches
I'm the senate, reading few prepared
addresses and those almost only on
fiscal affairs, but he was quick in
partisan repartee. His enemies
charged him with representing the Sin
tereStS"
He was perhaps the largest man
physically in the senate, standing G
feet inches in height and weighing
close to 800 pounds. He traced his
ancestry back for more than 500 years
and in his veins flowed the blood of
some of the most distinguished Amer
lean families.
Born in Philadelphia on November 1,
1860, young Penrose was educated by
private tutors and at the Episcopal
academy in his home city. At sixteen
he entered Harvard, from which he
was graduated in 1881. He studied
law with Wayne MacVeagh and George
T. Bispham and was admitted to the
bar in 1883. Entering Immediately
into politics, a year later he was elect
ed to the state legislature, and from
there went into national politics

Nearly all the stumbling

by humans In this world are Inn

that they are battling against

him. No one ever passed down
the pathway to the valley OF
