Thousands of bsskets dally were loaded Into express cars and hurried to Indianapolis. Chicago. Pittsburg and the larger Eastern cities So great was the demand for the fruit that Is raised In this section that the United States Express Company, which operates on the Evansville A Terre Hauls railroad, found It necessary to put on an extra train that carried nothing but melons. This train started from Poseyville, in Posey county, and reached this city, after coming through the greatest melon raising country In the United States. It passed through thousands of acres of melon patches and each evening took out from fifteen to thirty-five care of melons. Hundreds of loose baskets were also sent out on the regular trains, and the express company found It neceasarv to employ twenty-five extra men to help out In the rush The Melon Special.

SENATORS BEVERIDGE AND BAILEY FRIENDS.

Record

of Forty-Seven Mlnutee.

in Thirteen

MANCHESTER. Conn.. July Professor UHle, principal of one of the local schools, holds the record as a spanket. Armed with an ordinary ruler, he administered forty-seven spankings In thirteen minutes the other day. thus turning tearful boys and girls away from him at the rate of three and eight-tenths boys and girls a minute. It Is scarcely necessary to add that Professor Lillie Is a warm advocate of spanking as a dis-

ciplinary measure.

The liberal application of the rod in the Manchester schools was cused by the visit of a minstrel troupe to the town. The gorgeous parade, unluckily, was passing the school building Just as the noon boll rang. The temptation proved too much for some of the pupils. They could go to school any day. but only once In a weary age did anything like a parada appear. So when the rest filed into school in obedience to the summons of

8o Declarea the Belligerent Texan at 8t. Louis. 8T. LOUIS, July 80.-8enator J. W. Bailey, qf Texas, spent two hours in 8t. Louis yesterday. With him were two gentlemen of small stature, who could hardly have been bodyguards, though they ■tuck remarkably close to the Senator during hta stay. On being asked about his assault In the United States Senate on Senator Beveridge, the Senator shook his head, grinned slightly, and said: "Now. why should I want to discuss such a matter at this time? That Utile unpleasantness Is ended. Won’t the newspapers please let ll drop? Senator Beveridge and I are friends.' "How about Solicitor Penfleld?" "Well, well," said Bailey, ripping off the side of a tenderloin with his knife and swallowing a spoonful of coffee, "I have no ttme to talk of four-flushers.” At that instant the Senator drooped hla fork, picked it up again, fumbled at his napkin a moment, and then resumed: "No; l can not enter into a discussion of matters that occurred in the senatorial chamber.” “But-” "1 say I am not talking for publication now," and the Senator's face winced as If the horse-radish with which he had Just seasoned his beef steals had caused him a little nasal agony.

TRIED TO HANG HIMSELF.

Author of the Deserted Village Lies Close to the Roar of the Groat City.

[TVotn a Staff Ccrreepoodeot ] LONDON. July » —Some of the churches of London, relic* of a day when commerce wax leas powerful and insistently encroaching., are so hedged In and hidden by the business buildings that have sprung up about them as to be almost tost and forgotten, except by the very faithful or very curious. Of course, the magnificence of St. Paul a and the ornate | walls and towers of Westminster are un- j in is takable and unescapable, but curious old places like St. Bartholomew’s the ] Great. St. Ethelreda'a and St. Bride's must j be searched for by strangers who would j

see them.

8t. Bartholomew's.

St Bartholomew's Is in Smlthfleid, ! where there Is considerable open space, for 1 London, but eo well la It hidden from pass- j ing traffic that I waa about to give up hope of finding it when I saw an Iron archway about eight feet wide, with a cross on it, between two business buildings, one of which was a saloon. Passing through. I found to my right one of thooe curious, narrow little lanes, solidly built up with shops, that seem to lead nowhere, and •Talght ahead waa another lane leading through what bad once been the church

yard to the church door.

There la still a little of this churchyard left near the church, with slanting and sunken grave stones that spoke of neglect and disuse. The church, which was found-, ed by Bishop Rahere In 1123, is the oldest In London except St. Peter and Vincula, the Tower chapel, and is the best example of the heavy old Norman architecture i that I have seen. The choir, the transept i and one bay of the nave are still as they j were left by Rahere. and show In many places the erosion of age. The arches of i the Interior are massive and rather low, of the round, pure Norman type. It must be artistic, for I saw half a do sen artists

at work there before their easels. Changes of the Centuries.

There are a triforium and clerestory, both “practical,” and not merely representative, as In so many churches. In the sixteenth century. Prior Bolton made some alterations, Including an oriel window in the south ambulatory, which looks rather out of place, and in the fifteenth century a "lady chapel" was thrown out

For some time past entomologists have known that every pernicious Insect, especially the varieties that prey upon fruit trees, has Its enemy, and that enemy In preying upon the pest In question keeps Its numbers so reduced that It is next

thing to harmless. Only Two Lived.

Many people of the past lie at rest In this old church, and there are some queer epitaphs in verse and prose, but between disintegration of the stone, due to age, and the dim light of the church, it Is almost Impossible to decipher them. That

He was taken down by neighbors and carried Into the yard, where ne revived. It was Trees' second attempt at suicide. A few months ago he went home In a state of intoxication and abused his family. When on trial the next day he fainted In court and nearly died.

from the story at Dact*.

Within the inner ballium of the tower of London stand# the chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula, named, so tradition says, because it was consecrated on that festival of the Roman church, early In the reign of Henry I, which lasted from 1100 to 1136. The church was burned in 1612 and rebuilt by Henry VIII. Now It Is what Is called a royal chapel, where services are held on Sunday, open to those who wish to attend. But on other days It Is not included among the show places of the Tower and is not ordinarily shown to visitors. The shilling key, however, •which will open so many doors over here,

unlocked this one for me.

It is a light and airy place with a high, timbered roof, and one Is Impressed with Its cheerfulness until he stops to think how much of the bloody history of England is recorded here. Just outside the chapel, near the center of Tower Green. Is a square pavement, laid by order of Queen Victoria, which marks the spot where so many private executions took place. Outside the tower walls on Tower Hill was another scaffold where the headsman did his work before the popu-

lace.

A Chapel of Tragedies. Under the stones of the chapel lie many of the victims of these two fatal places, whose names have been written large In history. It sends a shudder through a man as he walks In this little church above the bodies of so many people whose greatness was laid loty by the headsman’s ax. The list includes Anne Boleyn, beheaded in 1536; Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex, beheaded in 1540; Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, beheaded in 1541 r Queen Catharine Howard, beheaded tn 1642; Lord Admiral Seymour of Sudeley, beheaded In 1549; Lord Somerset, the Protector, beheaded In 1552; John Dudley, Earl of Warwick and Duke of Northumberland, beheaded in 1563; Lady Jane Grey and her husband. Lord Guildford Dudley, beheaded in 1564; Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, beheaded In 1601; James Fltxroy, Duke of Monmouth, beheaded tn 16#6; Lord Fraser of Lovat, beheaded In 1747. Tradition, as repeated by the "beefeater" who showed me around the chapel, says that when Anne Boleyn laid her head on the block she looked up at the headsman so appealingly that he lost his nerve and his aim and had to strike three times before his work was done. And he was an expert with the two-handed sword, who had been brought from Calais for this occasion. A companion story Is to the effect that the Countess of Salisbury declined to put her head on the block, contending that the punishment waa undt^erved, and tell- | Ing the executioner he would have to do t the best he could if he must carry out the decree. Then while the countess walked about Tower Green, the headsman watched his opportunity and struck her down. Nearly every person who Is I buried in this chapel died from premeditated violence, the victims of Intrigue, | Jealousy, ambition or fanaticism, that taintod (he courts of England of their

The street grade has evidently been raised since the church was built, as It is now necessary to descend half a dogen! step* to reach the little open space in front of It. Passing around to th* left, you reach another short flight of steps that ascend to the chapel, which baa a good oak-timbered roof and some fine “Cained-gla** windows, with fine tracery. It was undergoing some repairs when I was there, so detailed examination was In-

Down the steps again brings you to the queer little cloister, which contains some big trees, and ia remarkably quiet when you consider that the great thoroughfare of Ho!bom Is less than a block away. Through a gtoomy-looking door from this level you descend a few more steps into the crypt, which is now fitted up os a cHopei. Beside the entrance is a figure of the Virgin, and at the shrine candles are burning. Among the pews half a doxen peopieknelt tn silence.

There is a brass plate on the wall, said to be a reproduction of the original Inscription, which begins: "Here lyes one conquer'd that hath conquer'd kings!” It also mentions the vast continent of Virginia. From the square tower of the church a knell is sounded when there Is an execution at Newgate, farther up the street, and formerly a nosegay was presented here to every criminal on his way to execution at Tyburn. As I was leaving the Temple church— the Temple church, ho&ry though sturdy under Its burden of over seven hundred year#—I met an old, white-haired man at the entrance. "It’s an old church, Isn’t It?” I ventured, for he seemed to be a kindly-looking old C ^Tudeed It Is, sir,” he replied, In the tone of one thoroughly convinced by experience.
