ARRANGE APPLE SALE

Thousands of Bushels of the Fruit to be Sold at Cheap Price.

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept., 27. Mer- i chants of Indianapolis and vicinity are evincing much interest in the plans of the Indiana apple show commission for a window display contest, to be held In connection with the Indiana apple show, which opens at Tomlineon Hall, November 5, and continues through November 11. The contest, which is in charge of Dr. II. E. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, will be open to anyone who will devote an Indianapolis store window to the Interests of the Indiana apple. Several growers expressed the desire to arrange with merchants in the capital city for the display of thefr fruit, and have been assured that such entries in the contest will be possible. This ofers an opportunity to scores of out-of-town apple growers, as there are many merchants in Indianapolis who cannot devote their time to proper arrangement of a display. "We are going to make this one of the strong features of this year's show, says Dr. Barnard. " The plan has not been tried before, and to arouse proper interest we have decided to make the expending of a little time and energy worth while to the sucessful contestant. The first prize will be $50 in gold, with suitable ribbons for succeeding awards." Window Display. Window display of apples, It Is believed, will not only create interest in the work of the apple show commission, but will draw attention directly to the potential possibilities of the industry In Indiana. The apple show will attract fully 20,000 persons to the capital during apple show week, and these will be Interested in the support given the movement by advertising displays. It is also planned to maintain the Interest in apple growing by a huge apple sale. In short, apples will be the main topic for discussion throughout Indianapolis for the entire week. Stores will do their utmost to advertise the show, and growers will ship Into the city their best fruit, ready to dispose of it at reasonable prices to show what Indian orchards can produce. Details for this huge sale have not yet been completed, but several firms have signified their willingness to enter Into such an arrangement. This will mean the disposal of thousands of bushels of fruit during the week, and will give a practical, financial value to the show, in addition to the undeniable educational value. Dally programs will include addresses by men prominently identified with the apple growing and marketing interests, as well as leading national educators who will give many desirable pointers on the proper methods of combatting, apple enemies and diseases.

Mrs. Claire McMillan former wife of Governor Oddie, of Nevada, and cousin of "Uncle Joe" Cannon, has '.hat is probably the most peculiar lucky charm In the world, a "poison bracelet." "I would not think of making a journey by train or boat without taking my poisonous mascot along as charm against danger," said Mrs. McMillan. The bracelet is a hollow Mnglet of gold, filled with cyanide of potassium. She says the" bracelet was put to an acid "test as a protector in 1904 when Mrs. McMillan was a passenger in a train running between Tonopah and San Francisco, which was almost totally wrecked by a loose rail. "I was thrown out on the desert, but sustained only a few trifling scratches," narrates Mrs. McMillan.

One Use to Which th Parcel Post In England May B Put. An Englishman wished to reach a customer living in a remote part of

j Baluam, one of the suburbs of Lon

don, and it was very urgent that he find him quickly. Knowing nothing of the locality, he called at St. Martin le Grand to consult a directory. Stating his case to a clerk, he was amazed to learn that he could be sent to the address by parcel post by paying a fee of threepence a mile. The gentleman had never heard of such a thing, and it is said that very few in England know that it can be done. Accepting the offer, the gentleman was placed in charge of a messenger familiar with all parts of the city and was soon on his way. The boy carried a printed slip on which was written a description of the "parcel" In charge, under the heading. "Article required to be delivered," and before leaving the customer's house both the customer and the gentleman were required to place their signatures on the paper. The limit in weight for anything delivered by parcel post in England is generally understood to be eleven pounds, but there is one clause which reads. "A person may be conducted by express messenger to any address on payment of mileage fee.'' Argonaut.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23 The first Cathedral close ever built in the Uni-j

iea states, inai oi ine taioearai oi St. John the Divine, is being rapidly put into shape for the Triennial General convention of the Protestant

i Episcopal churc h, which will be held upon the Cathedral grounds next i month. Lawns are being leveled, deI bris cleared away, and the ground prepared as well as possible about the i cluster of new ecclesiastical buildings ! which are rising upon Morningside ; Heights. I These buildings are the new Synod jHall, the Deaconess House, the Bishjop's House, the Dean's House and the ; Choir School. Two of them, the Deaconess House and the Choir School, are completed. The other three, of which Ralph Adams Cram is archiI tect, are nearing completion. It has been the architect's ai mto make the I Bishop's House and the Dean's House j beautiful, appropriate for the functions which they must perform, digni

fied, and yet simple to the verge of austerity. They have ample space and the rooms are perfectly proportioned which gives the desired effect of richness without luxury, dignity without ostentation. The new Synod Hall, which is practically finished, will be ready in time for the convention. The main hall of this building, where the house of delegates will meet, is pronounced by architects the most beautiful semi-religious meeting hall in the country. One of Its most striking features is the richly colored ceiling of painted rafters, above which rises the dark blue of the peaked roof. The intricate carving of the west porch, which is the main entrance is progressing rapidly. The cost of the buildings and fittings, which were donated by John Pierpont Morgan and William Bayard Cutting, will be close to $450,000. The main hall will seat nearly a thousand persons and the galleries surrounding it two hundred more. Behind the new Synod Hall, which is in the southwest corner of the grounds, rises the completed Deacon

ess House, which overiooKs L,ainearai I Parkway. A little north of this is the ; Bishop's House, built of Germantown stone. In planning this, the architect ; had to keep in mind the public organizations, foreign bishops and prominent people from all over the world who must be entertained there. It is I less of a personal residence than a

building for the sake of tne diocese. MEDAL STRUCK TO MARK FEUD'S END BERLIN, Sept., 27. The Duke of Cumberland has had a medal struck to commemorate the wedding of his son Prince Ernest August and Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, which
