A cartoon published recently by the Munich "Postillion" showing that the brutal government of Russia is as unpopular in European countries as it is in the United States. The cartoon is captioned: "Neat Work of the Little Father," and "The Only Way He Can Keep His Balance." The purpose apparently is to prove the only way that the Czar can keep a safe balance on the deadly anarchistic bomb, is with a gibbet in each hand as a balancing pole.

WILL RAISE FRUITS

Articles of Incorporation Filed by Mexico Land and Fruit Co. HAGERST0WN ENTERPRISE Articles of association were filed with County Recorder Will Robbins, this morning, by the Mexico Land and Fruit company, the promoters of which are Hagerstown parties. The company has practically closed an option on a large tract of land at Tampico, Mexico, and expects to engage extensively in the raising of tropical fruits. The capitalization is $15,000. 150 shares to be issued. So far, $S,JHX) worth of the stock has been subscribed by Hagerstown parties. The officers of the company are: Lee J. Reynolds, president; H. W. Keagy, vice president; Charles E. Werking, secretary and treasurer; Clyde B. Reynolds, general resident manager. The directors include the above officials and Henry C, Joseph' C. and Frank Teeter, Frank A. Hawkins, and William H. Dingwerth. The articles of association are very general, permitting the company to engage in business in all parts of the United States and the world. But at the present time, Mexico will be the location of the company's farm. Hagerstown is to be the principal office of the concern. A i-son For Nellie. Mrs. Washington was a strict disciplinarian about certain matters and among other things always required the members of the household to follow the example of her husband and dress for dinner, which was at 3 o'clock. On one occasion Nellie Custis and her cousin, Martha Dandridge. appeared at the table in their morning gowns, but no comment was made upon It until a coach was seen approaching and the visitors, some French officers of high rank and Charles Carroll, Jr., of Carrollton, one of Miss Custis' ardent suitors, were announced. Instantly the girls, in a flutter of exdtoment, begged to be excused in order to change their gowns, but Mrs. Washington shook her bead. "No," she said. "Remain as you are. A costume good enough for President Washington is good enough for any guest of his." Needless to say, Miss Nellie never overlooked her proper garb for dinner again. National Monthly. Sensible Sandy. While passing by an old fashioned inn in Scotland the tourists were attracted by an ancient bagpiper, who was tooting atrocious sounds through an instrument that was both dilapidated and squeaky. "Great Jericho, Sandy!" exclaimed one in desperation. "Why don't you have your bagpipes repaired?" And the old man ceased playing and looked up in astonishment. "Havers, mon, ye dinna understand! If ma bagpoipes wor in good tune the inn mon winna give me 2 shillings to move on." Wind Velocity. The majority of people are unable to determine the wind's velocity. When the smoke from a chimney moves in a straight, vertical column, it means that a one to two miles an hour breeze is blowing. A three miles an hour wind will Just stir the leaves on the trees. Twenty-five milea an hour will sway the trunks; at forty the small branches will break, and it takes a mile a minute gale to snap the trunks of big trees. London Answers. MISS FLEMING ILL. Miss Clara Fleming, assistant matron at the V. M. C. A., has been confined to her home with the grippe for the past week. The Hnfc Of The Bwdy.

Hogs in local markets sold for SO a hundred pounds today, a price greater than ever before paid in this city. In

dications are that the price will bo even higher, as all of the larger mar kets are paying fifty to seventy-five cents more on the hundred than here. However, despite the high prices ther" have been few deliveries in local markets, owing to the inability of farmers to get their stock to local shipping yards. Local dealers are not shipping what stock they have on hand as the railroad companies has refused to transport livestock for long hauls while transportation is tied up. PAY RECORD PRICE. (American News Service) East Buffalo. Feb. 18. Hogs sold for $9.70 a hundred today. This is the record price paid in local markets. ' SELL AT NINE-FIFTY. Louisville, Feb. IS.

C, C. k L TO BE BOUGHT BY HAWLEY By June First, Line Will Be Operated as a Branch of the C. & 0. TO BUY HOCKING VALLEY SEVERAL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BE EXPENDED IN REBUILDING AND EQUIPPING THE "STRAIGHT LINE." Cincinnati, Feb. IS. It will be of ficially announced in the near future that the Chesapeake & Ohio has : i closed negotiations for taking over j of the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louis-1 ville and that by June 1 the straight line will be operated as a branch of , the C. & O. and will be registered as j a Hawley property. The information comes from New York that the deal has boon closed i whereby Bradford turns his Chicago- ; Cincinnati line over to the Hawley ' syndicate and quits the railroad game. ' The same information is to the effect : that the Hawley syndicate has ar-; ranged to attach the C. C. & L. to the C. & O., designating it as the Chica-1 go division. Appropriation Was Made. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the C. & O., it is said, an appropriation of $4,000,000 was made to put the C. C. & L. in physical condition to handle the business to be given it by the C. & O. This is taken to mean that Hawley proposes to secure an entrance into Chicago for the coal output of the C. & O. fields. For some time past an order has been in effect on the C. & O. to deliver 125 car loads of coaol daily to the C. C. & I Of these the Bradford road has been able to handle less than TO cars a day, leaving a surplus of oo cars, which have been thrown back on the C. & O. with the result that its Covington yards became congested. With the expenditure of the C. & O. appropriation the C. C. &. L. will be

practically rebuilt and Cincinnati will TltatIons t0 the colleges, and many acbe given another first class route to ceptances have been received. Some Chicago, and the Hawley syndicate Phanps har in th rn

will supply itself with a connecting link between its lines east and those in the central west. That the plans of the C. & O. to annex the C. C. & L. have about been completed is evidenced by the fact that Judge Goodrich at Indianapolis yesterday stated that his duties as a receiver would in all probability be ended within the next 6$ or 90 days.

It is only a few minutes' COSTS MORE TO DIE. Kansas City. Mo., Feb. IS. It even costs you more to die these days. Ten years ago you could contract a nice case of fever, go to a hosi.it al. receive medical attention be nursed, die and be buried for about $150. Now since the trusts, aided and abetted by the tariff, have pushed up the price of everything. It will cost you about $2t'0 or I'j to die and be buried. The trusts are making money out of the increase in the price of death and burial, if what Kansas City doctors, nurses and undertakers say is correct. Coffins and graves have increased in price almost f0 per cent in the last ten years. Lumber, silks, imported woods and other articles, many of them imported, have almost trebled in price because of the tariff. Undertakers say the trusts are reaping a rich harvest in dollars because of the increases. And, because of the increased cost of living, many nurses and physicians have boosted their scale of fees. A further increase is expectedlC;e tropny. aU2 to eacn" meraar vi the winning team a gold watch. Each of the members of the team that finishes second will get a silver cup.
