Adolph Schultz Named Parade Mar  shal-Horsc Killed in Accidcnt- Veteran Leaves for L. s. Hospital Railroad to Shift Schedule.

The consistent cold of the past few days was wrought havoc among the peach orchards in the vicinity Of Berlin and kensington. Most of the orchards have suffered and the outlook as regards native peaches this summer is decidedly unfavor- able.
 Jason NJ. Taylor of Blue Hills stated this morning that every bud in that section had been ruined by the cold weather. It was his conten- ton that nothing could be expected from local peach orchards for this season.
 This condition will work a hard ship on the growers, as the work of fertilizing and cultivating will have to be attended to regardless of the present condition.
 It was MT. Taylors opinion that apples were not generally affected, as the budding of this fruit had not progressed far enough to allow the II OSI lO StI III llS OGdulN "Olhs

When he opens the door Of his

march into the room begging for food

Police raided Millet's house in
the Forest of Barbizon, where his
famous grandfather had lived and
worked. After a severe interroga.

he had been exporting, principally
to England and America, paintings
guaranteed by him to be the works
of Millet, Monet, Degas, Corot, Ce

list masters of the last century.
The works sent to England and
America were sold in some instances,
it is understood, for sums exceeding
$4,000.
A panic is growing in the Paris art
market owing to the widespread
nature of this scandal. Dubious
paintings by the Nineteenth century
masters are being obtained at aston.

1900 forged pictures have been sold
to unsuspecting dealers and collectors,

Gold Production Not
Equal to the Demand

A gold shortage is threatening the
world. The peak of gold production
was reached in 1915, totalling $780,
100000. Since then it has gradually
dropped until last year only
$415,000,00O worth was produced. No
important fresh discoveries have been
made in recent years and old fields
are gradually being worked out.
There is plenty of gold in the world
for all normal purposes but so much
Of it is boarded away in the form of
money in banks and as jewelry by
wealthy families.
India has absorbed vast quantities
of the worlds gold, being boarded by
its petty princes and used for dow

amount Of gold is being used in jewel
