Halted State*.
Americans who dote on Scotch mar¬
malade and find delight In eating, lus¬
cious oranges and tangerines from Cal¬
ifornia and Florida have further feasts
in store for them In Unde Barn's great
cornucopia of hew fruits developed by
the scientists in the government em¬
ploy, says the New York Post's Wash¬
ington correspondent. The bother and
cost of Importing marmalade from Eu¬
rope were among the causes which in¬
duced the prosecution of scientific in¬
quiries to determine whether a new
type of fruit suitable for marmalade
making musing could cuu .,1 not be — grown -----~ in the
United States, and such a plant has
now lieen obtained by hybridization.
By similar processes new types of har¬
dy orange and lemon trees have been
developed of a sort to withstand the
sudden extremes of cold which in re¬
cent years crippled and almost exter¬
minated the orange industry in Flor
Ida.
The aim of these investigations has
not been to supplant the elegant Cali¬
fornia and Florida varieties which And
such a large sale in all parts of the
United States, but to supplement the
range of those varieties by developing
new kinds of more hardy nature. The
two great freezes in, the winters of
1894 and 1895 In Florida killed to the
ground practically every orange and
lemon tree in that state, except in the
extreme southern portion about Key
West. Throughout the teu years since
then the most painstaking experiments
have been In progress to produce a new-
hardy variety which would withstand
the coid and consequently be suitable
for growing farther north.
By crossing the hardy cold resist¬
ing trifoliate orange with varieties of
the ordinary sweet orange two hybrids
have now been obtained and found to
produce valuable fruits when propa¬
gated.’ Specimens of these orange trees
have within the last few months been
sent to growers in the gulf aud south
Atlantic states as far north as South
Carolina, southern Tennessee and Ar¬
kansas and the eastern and southern
portions of Texas. For further tests
other plants were sent to Arizona and
New Mexico and to regions of low- alti¬
tude as far north as Oregon and Wash¬
ington state. These hybrids, being
different from any known group of
citrus fruits, were not called oranges,
but were given the combination name
of “cltranges.
One of the hybrids is called the
“Rusk,” after a former secretary of
agriculture, and Is described as very
similar In size and appearance to the
well known tangerine. It possesses
the same reddish flush, is smooth and
round, of good quality for culinary pur¬
poses and is especially suitable for
making a drink similar to lemonade.
The other hybrid, called the “Willits 1
,
is more like a lemon in quality and ap¬
pearance and may be used as a substi¬
tute for lemons In making pies as well
as lemonade.
Commenting upon the prospective
value of these new plants for general
gro\£t)i in the United States, Professor
B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of
plant industry, department of agricul¬
ture, recently said
“One of the principal alias in devel¬
oping these cltranges has been to pro¬
vide a tree which will enable southern
people, for instance, to have fruits in
their back yards all the year round.
The development by hybridization of
hardy plants susceptible of cultivation
farther north than the old varieties
will have four Important results:

a new kind of “kid glove-
orange which to called a tangelo and
a hybrid of the tangerine and the
pomelo. It has been named the Sam¬
son, partly because of its strong acid
flavor, which it to thought will com¬
mend it to its popular taste. A lim¬
ited amount of stock of this variety
is to be distributed next spring to pri¬
vate growers, who have given evidence
of tbelr interest in developing new spe¬
cies and who therefore prove valuable
adjuncts J to the work of the depnrt-
ment. . Two n new tangerines with the
desirable characteristics of .producing
fruit larger than the ordinary varie¬
ties and nearly two weeks earlier are
also being propagated and have arous¬
ed much interest among horticulturists.
This commercial Interest in new
fruits is attracting especial attention
entirely apart from the scientific inter
est in creating new varieties. It has,
been discovered that some of the prin¬
cipal markets are coming to demand
fruits of a certain size and others of
certain degree of lusciousness or
acid quality; As soon as these tenden¬
cies become sufficiently pronounced to
represent a definite public taste, as it
ware, growers realize the desirability
of planting selected varieties possess¬
ing the characteristics called for. This
ias been one of the special aims of
toe scientists—to develop new seedlings
vblcb will produce fruit uniform In
ilze and of invariable good quality.
Cnusuai success has attended the ex¬
periments of the, department experts
toward ibese ends, and it is expected
that the coming season will see the
distribution of two hybrids, one grow¬
ing a small fruit and the other a large
one, but in both cases produced mainly
near the exterior of the tree. As fruit
so grown can be picked with much
greater facility than when it must be
taken from all parts of the tree, this
development Is regarded as of unusual
commercial Importance. Taken In con¬
nection with the development of tbS
hybrid suitable for marmalade manu¬
facture, ahe results of the recent ex¬
periments are regarded, especially from
the commercial viewpoint, as marking
noteworthy advance in American
fruit growing.
One Killed; Five Injured.

flooded the whole place ao quiokly af¬

Two Hurt In Runaway.
Jackson, Miss., May 28.—Ah eleotrle

inent attorney of Eaton, who was with
Miss Mary Peter Gordon, one ef the
wealthiest young women in the stnto..
The linei broke and Huber aetsed Miss
Gordon and jumped'to the pavement.
Both are danegrously hurt. The horse
continued to run, striking a telephone
pole and was instantly killed. The
team frightened another team, one of
which was run over by the street car
and killed.
malades and other preserves, which
the individual housewife can make
from fruit grown in the yard of her
- home; second, in developing a plant
Which may be used to form hedges ei¬
ther of an ornamental sort about the
home or to construct inclosures within
which to keep farm stock; third, to
provide a plant which in the hands of
professional growers will establish
marmalade industry in this country
which will make us Independent of for¬
eign sources of supply, and, fourth, the
development of ornamental trees for
persons who wish them for the adorn¬
ment of the lawns about their homes.
“One feature to be borne In mind is
that these experiments are not conduct¬
ed with a view to replacing any varie¬
ty of tree or fruit which can now be
grown successfully hi any part of the
country. On the contrary, it is to pro¬
vide a unique hybrid not competing
with California oranges and not in the
same class as limes, but of a quality
a little richer Than that fruit. We lm
port large quantities of marmalades
from Scotland. It is a product manu
factored from oranges grown in Spain
and the south of France in the main.
Our sweet oranges of established va¬
rieties are not entirely suited for siich
purposes, but these new fruits are.
Their growth on a large scale will open
a new fleld of American manufacture,
which will provide home marmalades
of as fine quality as now imported
fram Europe.”
An interesting feature of the scien¬
tific work on these lines Is the an¬
nouncement that several additional va¬
rieties of cltranges, each possessing
special features of merit, are in proc¬
ess of development and will be given
to flie country next spring. One of
these produces a fruit so much like
the ordinary orange in size and appear¬
ance that it can be distinguished only
by an expert pomologist. Still anoth¬
er variety, differing In flavor and tree
characteristics, is being propagated tor
distribution as soon ns the expcrinppt-
ers determine as to Its relative value in
comparison, with preseut varieties.
While the fruit bearing characteris¬
tics of these hybrid plants st.ract the
most attention, much interest is also
felt in their flue foliage. For propaga¬
tion as lawn trees and hedge plants
some of the hybrid oranges are far
superior in general adaptability to the
trifoliate oranges often grown for
purpose. They have handsomer ami
Finch denser foliage and have
Rocked Boat and Were Drowned.
Chicago, May 28.—The overturning
of a row boat in the Desplanee river
near Willow Springs, 20 miles south
of hare, resulted in the drowning of
Charles Saenger, Robert Heiden end
Albert Brunke, all of Chicago. Miss
Mary Riknsy and Samuel Goldstein,
who were alao in the boat, were res¬

New York, May 28.—Three men
were drowned Sunday afternoma by a
squall that passed over Sheepahead
Bay. Joseph Harrington, of Brook
lyn, was thrown out of a launch, whloh
>vas pitching in a heavy sea, and about
the same time a rowboat containing
two men, was swamped and the ooou-
pants sank.
Aroused Hostility of Union.
San Francisco, May 26.—A pfopoeal
to bring 1,000 Japanese laborers here
to be worked on ihe ruins as brick
cleaners has aroused the hostility of
the Building Trades council, who be¬
lieve there are enough idle men anx¬
ious and willing to perform this work.
To make them compete with Asiatic
labor is considered a blow at unionism,
for which the council will not stand.
