With bis father’s many friends, he could have found ready ad vancement, ha dhe chosen to become a city man. Also the Morse family In Maine, where be Is now, is opened to a career similar to that followed on the Kennebec by his father In his ear lier years.

JUDGE HART COLLAPSED IN OPENING SPEECH Intense Heat. is Given as the Cause. CAN SHIP BY CARLOAD AT REDUCTION OE $25 ■ . ... ' '*•*<* Roads Reduce the Rates ' Upon Peaches. jAltlanta, Ga., July 2,—Announce ment Is made by Manager Fleming of the Georgia Fruit Exchange of notice of the most sweeping reductions in freight rates on Georgia fruit from Amerlcus, Fort Valley and other Georgia point to Interior points In New York state and throughout Penn sylvania. This reduction amounts to about J25 a car. This another great benefit the exchange, working as * co-operative organization, has secured that the individual growers were never able to obtain. In speaking of this great advant age secured for the Georgia growers, Manager Fleming said: "I consider that this a great con cession on the part of the transpor tation lines and especially that we were able to secure the reduction through a conference rather than hav ing to press through a case before the commission. "This Is only another evidence of what the growers can accomplish by co-operative work and shippers who are not members of the Georgia Fruit Exchange get the same benefits from such concessions as members, all of which should make them feel they are not doing their part by the peach in dustry of the state in failing to co operate as members of tbe Georgia Fruit Exchange. “This concession was the result of an open and candid discussion of the merits of the case with traffic officials of the Southern railway, and we fee! under many obligations to them for the fair treatment accorded us in this matter.’- GEORGE E.

It Is of solid concrete, with the exception of the Interior lining, which Is of marble, adopted for Its decorative effect. There Is a main aisle runlng ithrough the centre of the building, which gives access tp four hundred crypts. Tbo building Is situ ated at Brooklyn Heights Cemetery. Most Costly of Its Kind. The Detroit edifice will be much larger. It will be located In Roseland Park Cemetery and will be far the largest and most cosily structure pf tbe kind ever erected. Its lines are Roman and It Is three stories In height A central aisle extends the length of the building Jo tbe roof and the side aisles are but one Story high. All of these passage ways are lined with crypts so that It will be seen that this establishment has a great ca paclty. A smaller edifice of this kind is near lng completion In one of the cemeteries of Philadelphia. Both of-ithese structures are alike in the respect that they are entirely of concrete. In the latter instance, the exterior and Interior are very ornate and nearly all of the ornamentation of concrete.
