I APPLE GROWERS TO HAVE BIG EXHIBITS 'Indiana Horticulturists Making Preparations for the State Show. t

(Palladium Special) . - Indianapolis, Aug.. 5. The commls- ' tlon appointed by the Indiana State Horticultural Society to take charge t of the big apple show at Indianapolis, I Nov. 6 to 11, is giving growers who exf pect to send exhibits detailed informatlon as to gathering, selecting and j packing their apples for shipment that the fruit may go on display at the exposition in good condition. C. O. Woodbury, secretary of ihe commission, Is sending from Purdue University, Lafayette, information on the Subject which says: "Pick fruit by band. Handle each apple as if It were an egg. Get It ilnto cold storage with the least possible delay. Pick when mature and 'well colored, or as soon as the stems 'break off easily. Discard all defective apples. No scabby or wormy : fruit will be allowed to compete for i a premium. The stem should not be 1 pulled out. Wrap each apple sepa- ' rately and pack In barre ls or boxes, : each kind by Itself. Save enough ' fruit so that when arranging it for . exhibition you will have some to select from. For a bushel box save about a bushel and a half of fruit. For a tray, save forty or fifty apples, fit may be desirable to pa:k some late varieties in the orchard. It this is i done, be sure to use every possible care to get a good pack. For box I and tray packing see that the fruit t saved Is carefully graded and all of i about the same size and color. It is ' Impossible to make a first-class pack 'with fruit of various sizes. Study how to pack apples. The judges will 1 surely consider the excellence of the pack as well as the excellence of the I fruit" The growers are to ship their exi Dibits to the "Indiana Apple Show, in I care of the Indiana Refrigerator Co., ! Indianapolis," and are to prepay exjPressage. The expressage and boxes i and trays used for exhibition purposes will be only nominal expenses, and exhibitors will have no entry fees to pay. - The refrigerator company will store the apples free of charge and it has ample facilities for caring for the fruit, and will make especial effort to give the exhibitors the best possible service. As the show apples are received by the company they will at once be placed in cold storage at a temperature of 32 to 34 degrees, and if the growers properly prepare the fruit for storage it will be In prime condition when the show opens. The keeping quality of the apples while in storage will depend upon the care which has been exercised in selecting the fruit and packing it. Any bruises are liable to start decay. It 1b further explained by Mr. Woodbury that one of the chief purposes of the show Is to help the grower to help himself. To encourage the small orchardists, a large number of cash premiums will be offered for small displays. The total premiums will amoint to several thousand dollars, vt(l In the various classes the prizes wVl la total amount to many times the asnm ever effored at any other tteciUr jVn rf iht kind.

The king of Madagao, being engaged In a dispute with the king of Borneajascar, wrote him as follows: "Before proceeding further In this matter I demand the recall of your minister from my capital." Greatly enraged by this impossible demand, the king of Bornegascar re piled: "I shall not recall my minister Moreover, If yon do not immediately retract your demand I shall withdraw him." Thla threat so terrified the klug o, Madagao that In hastening to comply he fell over his own feet, breaking the Third Commandment From "The Col lected Works of Ambrose Bierce.

A I Local Theaters At the Gennett. Tonight will see the closing of the Keith Stock Company's engagement at the Gennett where they have played to capacity business all o fthe past week. The Keith Stock company has made a lasting reputation here in this city and the Richmond theatergoers will no doubt regret seeing their engagement come to a close. As a farewell play Mr. Keith has selected "Mam Zelle" one of his feature bills and one that will always be remembered by those Beeing it. Usually a stock company will put on Saturday nighty what they term "a get-away-bill" but not so with Mr. Keith, he will present his feature play for his closing play and give the people their money's worth regardless of it being their last night. This same play was seen last Wednesday matinee and night and when Mr. Keith says it is one of the most sensational plays ever written, those who saw it can vouch for his statement. Those people having weak hearts or are inclined to be very nervous are warned to staw away as it is very exciting iurmust be understood that whatever happens during the second act, is in the l-lay and everyone is requested to kindly keep their seats and all will be well. At The Murray. This evenia sees the finifch of probably one of the best bills of the season 'at the Murray. Crowded houses have been the rule all week and this evening should prove no exception. Jeannette Adler starts the show off with a singing and piano act that has them all talking. As a pianist she is an exceptionally in performer while her singing is excellent. At the present time she is singing into popularity Will Rossiter's latest waltz song hit "Somewhere This Summer With You." Smith Bros, present an exhibition of strength that is almost unbelievable. With the ease and alacrity that one would swing a small ball these two giants of strength muscle toss and Juggle these heavy weights, closing the act with a number of weights held by the one man and establishing the limit of human endurance. Carley Carlos, a dainty and petite young miss, entertains with a series of the native dances of the Russian featuring the Cossack dance. Elliott and West as eccentric dancers have reached the acme of perfection, and have danced their way into popular favor this week. A. J. Carlos, the cartoonist has a novelty entirely different from anything heretofore seen. Sitting at a table about twenty feet from the curtain in the rear, he, by means of mirrors and a stereopticon throws the the pictures on the curtain as he draws them. This is one of the best novelties of the season and should be seen to be appreciated. For next week an excellent bill has been prepared headed by the Chart res Sisters and Holliday in one of the prettiest singing acts ever brought to Richmond entitled "Studies .in Song." A Grand Canyon Sunrise. A snnrise In the Grand canyon lasts as long as yon please. Each boar is a sunrise for some cavern deeper than the last and. In fact there are many where it has yet to rise for the first time since the canyon was made by too ages of mnains water.

A Midsummer's Day

STORY OF A PET CHICKEN. A little girl named Ruth, who had never been to school and who passed much time in practicing music, once got a tiny black chicken to bring up. After feeding the chicken was often placed on a chair near the piano. If it showed a desire to get away, Ruth's hands would leave the keys to hold it in place while she gently stroked it into restfulness. In this way she taught it to sit and listen to tfce music 1'he chicken inherited its crowliki shape from a black Spanish mother and resembled its beautiful game father In being quick to respond to love and care. The little girl named the chicken Mink. In a short time it learned to answer when it was called, to know the voice of its mistress and to accompany her on excursions about the village. Strangers turned to cast amused glances at the pretty ten-year-old girl dressed in gray broadcloth walking down the street with, a half grown mnC IT8KD TO TSHCH T7POJT THX BACK Of BUTH'S CHAIR. chicken at her heels. When she went to the hotel for her meals Mink followed to the door. When the practice hour arrived Mink used to enter and perch herself upon the back of a chair, looking at the keyboard and encouraging the child by clucking softly "kut. tnt." Sometimes she would perch on the top of the piano with her head and neck over -the edge, watching the nimble fingers glide up and down among the keys. A near neighbor became ill. and the child was directed to give ap her music for a few days. When the regular practice boor came every day Mink ap proaefced the instrument, perched on her accustomed place and sang louder and louder until her mistress carried her away for a walk. As soon as they returned she went back to the piano and showed great uneasiness because her mistress did not begin. Each day Slink remembered the practice bours and went to ber place, clucking "kut. kut. to remind others of duties that she thought sadly neglected.

mother without a sign of recognition, but she flew joyously into the laps of her human friends. If they allowed it she would perch upon their beads. One day Mink went to the top of a sand bank and laid a small brown egg. Her mistress built a soft nest, took her pet to the chicken bouse and put ber Into it. at the same time explaining that she was to go housekeeping with the egg for company. When Ruth walked away Mink jumped out of the nest, followed to the veranda steps and then for the first time in her life she left the little maiden and joined the other chickens. Strange as it may seem, for a long time she did not go near the piano or pay the slightest attention to music. When Mink's nest was full . of eggs and she was forced to stay on it to keep them warm the little musician often went to admire the eggs and praise Mink for the care she was giv ing ber home. One day the child smoothed Mink's black feathers, but forgot to look at the eggs, and when she started to leave the chicken house Mink made a strange noise, ducked ber bead under her breast and with a skillful twist of the neck brought one of her treasures into view, When Mink's little black brood were led into the yard for a scratch it was discovered that the mother hen knew a language she bad not learned from her human friends. . One sound meant a fat worm, another a grasshopper and an altogether different note announced the approach of a hawk. For each emergency Mink "spoke so clearly that the trained ear of the little musician soon grew to distinguish the different shades of tone. When Mink found chicken snake la the grass instantly ber ruffled feathers stood out like sails In a tempest. The chickens scampered off in all directions when they beard their mother sound the danger signal a noise that reminded one of a sticl drawn across the palings of a fence. In midsummer the sun baked ground often became too hard for scratching. Then MJnk would lead her brood te the piano, clucking and teasing until Ruth understood and left the instru xnent to provide food for ber neglected pets.

A ROMANCE IN SIGHT.,.

Started by tae Unmasking of the Pair - If rauds. Not until boardi bouses cease to ex ist will all their romances be written. Shabbv romances, some of them are. like that of the young woman who got so tired or being called poor things because she received no invitations and bad to eat all ber meals at tbe boarding bouse table that she took to eating alone once in awhile at a cheap restaurant and then brazenly lying about tbe friends who bad Invited her to dinner. There was a young man in th:ii house who never went anywhere el ther. The first night the girl stayed out life's desolation nearly overpowered hira. "Even that poor little wblte fai-ed soul has made friends who want ber." be said. 'Nobody wants me I'm no good on earth." Then on rare occasions bis place at the table was vacant. y'Xew friendsT asked the landlady. 'Yes." lied the young man. One night the man and the girl met in a twenty-five cent restaurant. They blusued: they fenced: tbey finally con fessed. "We're a pair of frauds." said- tbe girl. "It's awful to think tnat tonigni when we co home we will have to swear that we have been dining with friend?." "Well," said the young man, "ain t we T'- -New York Tress. SHE WAS AGGRESSIVE. tucky For the tittle Man He Wi Not Her Husband. The ladv in the offside corner of the tramcar possessed a truculent air and a discolored eye. "Fnnnv thine any one cant take a penny ride without everybMy glarln' at 'em," she remarked, axing a smaii centleman wearing gray whiskers and a Bomewhat rusty top hat with her normal optic. The small centleman suddenly be came interested In a soap advertise ment. "If any one can't 'ave a black eye without Tom. Dick and Harry askin questions things are comin" to a pretty pass." continued the lady. Silence, allied with soap advertisement study, though eminently discreet was ineffective. , "You I'm a-talkin to." The lady prodded the small gentleman's knee with her umbrella. "Bin settin there this last ten minutes, you ave. wonderin' if my 'nsban gives it to me. If It'll ease yer mind, 'e did. Is there anything else?" "Madam." the small gentleman commenced, "had I been your husband""I should 'a' got off at th' cemetery with, a wreath instead o' goiif ter the orsepltal with a visitor's ticket" snapped the lady, "and the wreath wouldn't 'a' been expensive either." London Ideas. A Weary Celebrity. When Mrs. Roger A.. Pryor was a young woman living in Chnrlotteville, Va., visiting authors seldom reached the beautiful university town. "Thackeray, Dickens and Miss Martineau Dassed.us bv." says Mrs. Pryor in her book entitled "My Day Reminiscences f of a Long Life." But Frederika Bremer condescended to spend a night with her compatriot. Baron Scheie de Vere of the university faculty, on her way to the south. Scheie de Vere invited a choice company to spend the one evening Miss Bremer granted him. Her works were extremely popular with the unversity circle, and every one was on tiptoe of pleased anticipation. While the waiting company eagerly expected her the door opened not fot Miss Bremer, but for her companion, who announced: "Miss Bremer, she beg excuse. She ver tired and must sleep. If she come she gape In your noses." Funerals In England. At the time of Queen Victoria's fu neral a writer in the Undertakers' Journal complained that while royal burals were still conducted in an Impressive manner, a sad lack of cere monial distinguished the funerals of the nobility. "Item after item has been abandoned, idea after idea bas beeu dropped, each meaning a distinct loss to our business. An undertaker in tbe west end. referring to tbe recent death of a noble lord, confided to me: 'Forty years ago 1 buried a member of that family, and the funeral bill came to 1.250 ($6,250). Ten years later I buried apother. when it came to just over 700 ($3.500. FifteeD years ago I buried a third, at a cost of 330 ($1,600). but tbe bill for this one did not reach 73 (5375).'

In 1900 New Haven, Conn.; during the months of... April, May and June, had 479 cases of typhoid and 70 deaths Water supply infected. In 1903 Ithica, Nv Y., had 1.350 cases and S3 deaths Water supply : infected. " In 1903 Butler, Pa., had 1.34S cases and 111 deaths Water supply . infected. . . In 1904 Watertown, N. Y had 614 cases and 44 deaths Water supply infected. From 1S90 to 1903 Cincinnati had an average annual death rate of 47 " from typhoid fever for each 100,000 population. In 1904 Columbus, Ohio, in four months had 1,640 cases, and 166 deaths. (Engineering News, March 24. 1904, Rept. Mr. C. A. Brown.) Lorain. Ohio. At this point we have a lesson somewhat analagous to Butler In -a milder form, however. In 1892 Lorain, a village of about 3,000, first established sewerage: and about the same time typhoid made its serious p pearance. The death rate jumped from 43.5 per 100.000 (the average of, , the four previous years) to 1S3.3 in 1S93; 48.8 in 1S94; 131.6 in 1S95: 83.3 in 1S96. In 1897 a filter plant was established and the average for the next six years was reduced 18.8; in 1901 as low as 5.5. For tbe first, seven months of 1903 it was 0. In July, 1903, however,, the filters tlon plant was found to be in serious need of repairs that necessitated a stoppage of the plant. It was. therefore, shut down July 16th and remained so until September 11th, and from that date to November 1st was intermittently cut of use. The public was warned to boil drinking water., in the meantime; but, In spite of thi?, typhoid appeared within three weeks and the death rate rose from nothing to 180 per 100,000, where it remained for the next four months, or until December 1st by which time pure water was again supplied, and December showed a reduction to 60. The actual number of cases for each month of 1903 was as follows: January, 3; February, 4; March. 1; April. 0; May, 0; June. 2; July. 1; August, 30; September, 67; October, 49; November, 5; and December, t; August, September and October showing the effect of putting filters out. of service. January and February of 1904 went back to sero. (Engineering News February 11, 1904, Rept. Mr. F. E. Field.) Kittanning, Pa., number of cases from 1S9S to 1903: 189S, 45; 1899, 20; 1900, 76; 1901, 47; 1902. 52; 1903, 131. In December, 1903, 73 cases; January. 1904. 19. Population about 5,000. At present the water supply is from Allegheny river. During the investigation both the State Board of Health and the City collected samples, In all cases Indicating contamination: all but two samples positive in colon bacillus. FROM FIRE AND WATER ENGINEERING August 17, 1910. Milwaukee, Wis., has been afflicted with a typhoid epidemic, and the citizens are inclined to suspect the cause lies in Inequality of the water used for domestic purposes. Fifty million gallons of . sewage go into Lake Michigan at that city daily. Aug. 17, 1S10. The cause of the typhoid fever epidemic In South Fork, nine miles east of Johnstown, Pa..-for the last three weeks has been found. Of about a score of samples taken from various sources of water supply, only about one-third, upon analysis, were found pure. Forty-five cases of typhoid fever have developed and several deaths resulted. The , epidemic is believed to be under control. Aug. 3, 1910. Fearing the outbreak of a typhoid epidemic in Wllkesbarre, Pa., householders are urged to boil all water for drinking and other purposes. This and other measures are being taken as a precaution against the disease, which is manifesting itself in different parts of ; the city. v ....... . , , r AUG. 24, 1910.
