THE FRUIT OUTLOOK
I.BORGIA PEACHES ARE COMUft TO
MARKET.
prof. SCOTT IN THE FIELD.
(jt'AUTV FINE AND QUANTITY NOT
TOO GREAT.
S'he Prospective Yield Will Not He os
I.nrfte os Thnt of tS9H, but the
Quality Will Be Eicellrnt and
Grower's Should Make Money—The
lyNtc Cold Spells Did Mueh Damnfe
and the Cnreullo Hns Gotten In Its
Work —Prominent Growers Inter
viewed on the Outlook.
Fort Valley, Ga., June 3—A thorough
purvey of the fruit crop shows that
while the prospective yield will not be
as large as in 1898 it will be very satis
factory to tije growers. Prof. W. M.
gteott, the state entomologist, who is
spending % month here, making an or
chard to orchard examination, says: "The
peach season has already opened at this
place. A few express shipments of the
gneed variety have been marketed, and
more extensive shipments will rapidly fol
low. By June 10, the Triumphs will be
r. and then the fruit will begin to
move in carload lots.
"Upon the whole the orchards here are
in good condition, but compared with 1888
nnd even with last year, the crop is some
what short. The late spring colds did
more damage than is really admitted, and
the curculio has contributed its destruc
tive work so that the May drop has been
quite heavy. It Is now very evident that
orchards from which the curculio were
caught by the jarring method have a
very small per cent, of wormy peaches,
while untreated orchards have suffered
considerably; but this pest is with us al
ways and does some demage every year.
Fort Valley May Ship 530 Cara.
"The conditions, however, are not at
all discouraging, and Fort Valley will
pcrhai>s ship as many as 550 cars of
peaches, good peaches, too. Prices will
doubtless be good, everything points that
way.
"Yes, unfortunately there is some
brown rot developing in the orchards here,
and this rainy weather is favorable for
its further development. Ten days’ rain
jusi at this time, or a little iater, would
lie almost disastrous to a great many
varieties, but it we have fair weather
during the ripening period there should
not be any great amount of rot.
"I would advise the growers to spray
their orchards about the time the fruit
begins to color, with copper acetate, at
the rate of six ounces to 50 gallons of
water. This will prevent the rot to some
extent, and will put the fruit in much
latter condition for carrying to the mar
kets. Bordeaux mixture would be bet
ter than copper acetate, but if applied
within two or three weeks of the ripening
of the fruit, it would likely leave a blue
slain on the fruit. For late applications,
therefore, copper acetate ts preferred.
Snpt, Baird’s Views.
Hon John H. Baird, superintendent and
general manager of the Hale Georgia Or
chard Company says:
it will be interesting not only to the
railroed officials and commission mer
chants, but to the people at large, to
know the conditions and prospects of the
Georgia fruit crop as it appears to-day.
People in the Northern and Western cities
are asking their grocers how soon before
they will have Georgia peaches, and it
is well they are. as the season is virtually
open; small shipments of extra early va
rities, such as Sneed, are already being
made; Triumph and a few more varieties
will follow quickly; after these the extra
early kind are gone. It may be said the
season will open in earnest with the first
good fruit, such as Early Tlllotson, fol
lowed closely with Waddell, Hiley, Car
man, Mt. Rose, Lady Ingold, Belle of
Georgia and the Queen of peaches In the
South, the luscious Blberta with Frances
and Emmas practically ending the sea
son,
' We must not however omit the deli
rious Japanese plums of which there are
many varieties; the Abundance, Burbank
ai. Red Pine leading the list for equal
lie and commercial preference; these
plums with their beautiful color and
liffh quality have a warm spot in the
hearts of all who eat fruit; they are
marketed with the midseason peaches,
and last until after the Elbertae are
gathered.
Hon- Many Cnrlonris?
The most important question now ask
ed is How many carloads will be hip
*" 1 this year from Georgia? and how
does tile crop compare with that of last
Hir The question put to ten practical
fruit men of the same section, will vary
ato it a much as figures make possible,

It is true many orchards have

DISCUSSED SOCIAL EVIL
" omen Snflraglati Oppose Segrega
tioi*.oof* Vice in Cities.
Minneapolis, June 3.—This, the fourtn
day of the convention of the National
Suffrage Association, was a busy one.
Five thousand dollars was pledged by
the delegates, and visitors during the
afternoon session for the suffrage work
next year.
Another important action was that re
lating to the regulation of social vice.
The action of the physicians and surgeons
in their convention at St. Paul last week,
stirred up the - delegates, and a strong
speech was made by Rev. Anna Shaw of
Philadelphia, as to the attitude of the
convention toward laws for the segrega
tion of vice in the cities of the United
States.
Miss Shaw said;
"No worse law under the sun than that
for the segregation of vice in cities could
be passed and all the women of the con
vention are opposed to any propositions
on this subject. I want to be known as
standing forever and forever against such
a ertm^"
Miss Susan B. Anthony moved the ap
pointment of a committee, consisting of
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Rev. Anna
Shaw, Rachel Foster Avery, and Alice
Stone Blackwell, to appear before the
medical convention and show the sur
geons what attitude the convention has
taken in regard to the regulation of so
cial vice. Miss Anthony was added to the
committee.
TRAVELING MEN DINE.
The National T. P. A. in Session at
Old Point Comfort.
Old Point Comfort, Va., June 3.—The
delegates to the tonvention of the Trav
elers' Protective Association met to-night
over the banquet board at the Chamber
lain Hotel. There were about 700 dele
gates, and about 200 ladies present. The
banquet did not begin until 10 o'clock,
the delay being caused by the failure of
President H. C. Burrows of Pretoria, 111.,,
to arrive at 6 o'clock, when he was ex
pected. On the train with the president,
were delegates from Kentucky, Illinois,
Ohio and West Virginia.
Joseph Wallenstein presided and deliv
ered the address of welcome.
Col. J. C. Harwood of Richmond, repre
senting Gov. Tyler, responded to the toast,
“Virginia.”
Cincinnati and Portland, Ore., are fight
ing for the convention in 1902. The
chances seem to be in favor of the latter
place. The candidates for president are
H. W. Peake of Texas, R. W. Johnson of
Tennessee and Sam Jones of Kentucky.
The fight seems to lie between the Tenn
essee and Texas men.
The first business meeting of the conven
tion will be held to-morrow morning.

port was that they would declare an ex

TO DISFRANCHISE WHITES.
Hon. Hnnnis Taylor’s Idea of
Tliorongh Snftrnge Reform.
Montgomery, Ala., June 3.—Hon. Hannis
Taylor, formerly minister to Spain, was
-the principal speaker at the observance
of the birthday of President Jefferson Da
vis In Montgomery to-night. His speech
was a resume of the history of Mr. Davis
in war and peace. In conclusion he re
ferred to the question of debarring the
negroes of Alabama of the right to vote.
In speaking of the assembled constitu*-
tional convention he said:
"I would say to the council thus assem
bled that one thing is admitted on/ all
hands, and that is that a plan asking for
the disfranchisement of the mass of ne
gro voters of undoubted validity can be
devised, jarovided there is among us a
spirit of patriotic self-sacrifice and self
abnegation, willing to accept such a
scheme coupled with the probability that
a few of our own people may be disfran
chised, too.
"I would say to such a couacil that
much as I prize the right to vote, I my
self am willing to surrender it to the
state once and forever, if such a sacrifice
upon my part is necessary for tha com
mon good. Have I the right to be vain
enough to believe that each one of you
will not be willing to do the same thing
under the same circumstances? When
we contemplate the terrible consequences
of failure, can we afford to temporize, to
hesitate, to Imperil a great result upon
which our very civilization hangs be
cause we dare not appeal to a few of
our own people to make a temporary sac
rifice?
"My faith in the people is so firm, so
absolute, that I could not at a critical
time like the present hesitate for a mo
ment to go directly to them.”
LIVINGSTON SIZED IT UP.
The Philippine Question Proving
Troublesome Now,
Washington, June 3.—While the Presi
dent is bowed down with grief and anxi
ety, occasioned by the perhaps fatal Ill
ness of his wife, there is a fierce agita
tion going on in the political world to see
whether an extra session of Congress
should be called to untangle the Philip
pine snarl.
It seems that Representative Livingston
sizes up the situation from an administra
tion standpoint in his recent Interview,
when he stated that many of the Presi
dent's advisers deemed an extra session
inevitable in view of the recent decision
of the Supreme Court in the Insular cases.
It is said now that Senator Spooner, the
author of the Philippine amendment to
the army bill, admits that in the light of
the decision of the Supreme Court, the
President has no authority to levy cus
toms duties upon goods coming from the
Philippines into the United States. It is
the wish of the President to avert an ex
tra session, and to-morrow’s cabinet meet
ing may point the way hy which the
present duty on products from the Philip
pines may be retained without a special
sesßior. of Congress.

THE INDEPENDENCE A MOVER.
Thomns NV. Union'. Yacht Make, a
Fine Showing.
Boston. June 3.—Another cup defender,
the pride and hope of Yankeeland. the
Independence, was given an airing, noth
ing more than a Jogging to stretch sails
and rigging, in Massachusetts bay to-day
and from what little actual sailing was
done, the Crownlnshield yacht certainly
showed herself to be very speedy, par
ticularly with started sheets. The Inde
pendence was Just in the wind for two
hours and under the lower sails
she skipped about very lively. She
an'weied her balanced rudder quickly,
and, in fact, acted most satisfactorily to
her master. Capt. Haff, her designer, B.
Crowninshield, and finally her owner.
Thomas W. Lawson, who watched her
every move from his steam yacht.
Her rails were marvels of beauty, es
pecially the two head sails, which fitted
almost to perfection, while the big maln
s ill. one of the largest ever spread by
any yacht, gave every indication of being
in similar shape when It is pulled out
op the boom and two more battens put
in the leach.
The iudepentence romped along very
fast. No effort was made to haul the
boat close to the wind, but with a good
rap full, she headed out to sea, meeting
the swell grandly. Even with the swell,
there was but little froth under the bow.
The wake was also clean and fair—in fact,
except from the spatter of her bow strik
ing the water, there was little indication
of a wake. She seemed to heel quickly,
but not far down, say 25 per cent, but as
she is designed for a 115 feet water line
when under sail, this slant was quite sat
isfactory.

Odd Things In a Day.
From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
An Augusta man ls having an unhal
lowed, masculine laugh at his wife. The
first of last week, after several days' suf
fering with a bad tooth, she made up her
mind to have tt extracted. Now, gas and
ether are two things which she can't and
won’t stand, and while she was worrying
about the torture tn store for her, her
husband heartlessly suggested that she
take a nip of wMsky to brace her up
for the ordeal.
The husband concocted the doses with
the cleverness of a graduate mixer. He
contrived to load them so that the tast i
was as mild as a May morning—but the
kick thereof was the kick of a March
blizzard. His wife took the doses, blindly
trusting to his good faith—and—well, in
view of the fact that the lady had never
taken more than a tablespoonful of the
ardent, and that amount only In the dread
days of grip, the effect of that seductive
end InquMous tipple was pronounced.
Bhe had the toothi out. She didn't feel
It. Indeed, she hardly knew she'd been
to the dentist's, and things in the house
had a strange double-and-twisted look
when her husband brought her home In
a carriage. She felt horribly mortified
when the full consciousness of what she
had been through came back to her. She
expected that her husband would attempt
to Jolly her life out, but when he came
home that evening and made only a pass
ing remark about her visit to the den
tist's she came to the conclusion that
there must be a greater streak of for
bearance ln his make-up than she hod
given him credit for.
But when nearly every ring of the post
man left a Keeley cure circular at her
door she withdrew her mental observa
tion ln regard to her husband's forbear
ance. The circulars ars stttl coming, and
the friends of a certain well-known pro
fesslonal man are wondering why he is
asking them to address envelopes to hla
wife.

In this connection. “I commenced the

At that time my health woe so poor that
I thought I would have to give up my
work altogether. I was rapidly losing

I tried various remedies without good
results, then I determined to give par

Grape-Nuts for rebuilding the brain and

I have gained twelve pounds In weight

THE HICKEY OUT OF FAVOR.
Illirlihulls Also Less Popnlnr Than
They AVere.
From the New York Sun.
There are fashions in drinks as In every
thing else, and the spread of anew drink
is as rapid as the spread of anew style
In women's dress.
Barkeepers in the big downtown saloons
say that the day of the rlekey as the
most popular drink Is almost past, and
all carbonated beverages are declining In
popularity. Even the highball is losing
some of its admirers; so many of them, In
fact that there has been a notable falling
off in the amount of carbonated water
consumed at all the big bars.
Bartenders, that Is, the good bartenders,
watch the styles of drinks as carefully
as a dressmaker watches the fashions In
clothing, and they are as quick to note
any change in the public 'taste. Good bar
tenders are scarce. The modern bartender
is apt to be a white coated automaton,
who serves what Is called for with as
little trouble to himself as he ran, and
who care* only a little about the ta*te
of his customers.
These bartenders do not become great
men. The bartenders who do their best
to learn the wishes and peculiarities of
the customers own racing stables and
country homes in time and live on the
fat of the land. Many men say that the
average 'bartender ls not so good a man
now as he was fifty years ago. These
men also say that the whisky sold now
adays ls not so good as that which they
drank when they were younger. Some
philosophers think the difference Ilea ln
the livers of the drinkers. Good bar
tenders are all philosophers.
"The call for conbonated drink* of all
kinds has fallen off." said one of the
greatest bartenders In this town the other
day. “A year ago at this time we were
using three times a many limes a* we
are now and double the quantity of seltz
ers and carbonated waters. The decline
tn the popularity of the rlekey has been
steady and sure. The reason for It Is not
hard to find. The doctors were against it
from the start.
“They said that the man who put such
a large quantity of add Into his stomach
as the rlekey drinker did would have
all kinds of trouble on account of 11. The
men who drank the rlckeys found out
the truth of this prophecy ln time and
there are a lot of men Who wish that
they had never heard of the rlekey. Thrir
stomachs were eaten out by the lime
Juice, and they are suffering from the ef
fects of their drinking now.
“All of these men have stopped drinking
rlckeys and many of their friends have
followed their example and advice. This
accounts for part of the falling off in
the consumption of this particular drink,
ami then, of course, the rlekey got to be
an old story and the men wanted some
thing new. Lots of men used to drink
the rlekey because they thought it was
the proper drink. They quit because some
one else did.
“Tlie doctors were against the highball,
too. They said that It did a man harm
t r-rvallow so much gas, and that t e
would be better off if he would t.!<•>
drink” that had no gas In them. Lots of
men have told me that they found '.hv.tl
eelves uncomfortable after two or throe
highballs, and they v < tillered why it wn*.
They had too much gas in them. T lt
was the whole trouble. The father of
the highball was the English whisky and
soda, but the men In this country made
the mistake of drinking too many of them
and drinking them too fast.
"The Englishman will spend a lot of
time ln the consumption of ono Bebtoh
and *oda and while he is at It the Amer
ican will drink a half dozen hlgh-balls
one on top of the other. The English
man knows how the drink should be
taken, and It does him no harqi. The
American wants to got his drink and get
It out of the way, and so he hurrlie
through it. He gets all the bad effects,
and none of the finer effectg, and so he
doesn’t get so much enjoyment out of hlz
liquor as the Briton.
"It I* all right to drink the cocktail
that one takes before dinner at a swal
low, but the highball, If one ts to drink
It at nil, should be si piled. A man should
take at least fifteen minutes to drink a
highball made In one of the ordinary bar
glasses, liul most men do not know how to
drink, anyway. A man came In here the
other day and asked for a mint Julep. If
there Is anything that a man who knows
what ls particular to have made right. It
Is a Julep. A good Julep is the triumph
of a bartender's career. Let him sue
reed In the compounding of a julep, there
Is no further victory in store for him.
”1 know men who hold that there are
only two bartenders In saloons of hotels
In the city of New York who know how
to msk< * Julep a* It should tie made.
These two are very haughty, and they
are looked up to by the other men In the
profession. They *!U refuse to make a
Julep foi a man who they do not think
Is worthy of tt. and they will not make
one unless they feel equal to the task It
requires the steadiest eye, the oleareet
mind, the most delicate touch, to make a
Julep and plenty of time.

a Julep. I told him that the mint was
not <all that it might be, but that I would
do all that I could. I spent a lot of time
on the drink, and although the mint waa
not quite so fresh as I wished, it was a
good Julep. Then that person took the
drink in his hand, threw the mint on the
floor, and drank it as he in uld a cock
tail.
“It was awful! I could have assassi
nated him, and I think that a Jury would
have acquitted me. But we have to keep
the place tidy, and to have killed him
wculd have made g muss, so I let him go.
1 ito.i him never to ask me to make a
Julep for him again, though, and 1 did
say to him that he was not fit to drink
the worst Julep that was ever made. He
seemed surprised, but an old custorqer of
mine who was in here took up my side
of the argument, and that unapprecia
tive one went away. He has not been
back since, and I hope that he will not
come again. !
"I find that a great many of my cus
tomers are going back to- plain drinks
again. Many men who were drinkers of
rlckeys and highballs are now drinking
whisky and water, . which Is the best
thing n man can put into his stomach.
Lots of men have compromised on the
subject by making a long drink out of
a plain whisky and water. They put the
whisky In a tall glass, and then fill it up
with water. This makes a good drink,
and tt ts becoming popular. It quehchea
the thirst, and it make* a long drink.
"Some men don’t like it because they
say that It tastes like nothing except
weak whisky. Others gay that It la good.
There is one crank who comes in here
and loads himself upon a drink that la
made up of as much sugar as tihe whisky
will hold in solution, and as much water
as will fill a tall glass. I don’t think,
that the drink will ever become popular.
That man la a crank, anyway. Hls< wife
Is trying to get h4m to stop drinking, and
he says that he has stopped, but he comes
In here and puts any quantity of bitters
ln his system, under the plea that they
are not intoxicating. He makes me think
Of a deacon I used to know when I lived
In the country. He waa one of the lead
ers in all the temperance movements, and
he wouldn’t sell the apples that were in
his orchard for fear that they would be
made into cider. When he died the doc
tors found out that he had died of acute
alcoholism brought on by the drinking
of bitters.
"This boom in Wall street was a big
thing for our business. The men who loet
drank to drown their sorrow, and the
men who won drank to celebrate. It
doesn't make any difference to ua how
the market goes. We win anyhow. People
say that drinking ls on the decline. It
Isn't here, for we are doing a bigger bus
iness to-day than we ever did before..
Men don't drink so much as they used
to ln business hours; that Is the only
change. They drink after business, and
they make up for lost time then. The
ante-luncheon cocktail ls popular, too.
Just us It always has been. We're happy,
and making money. Nobody need worry
about our future.”
PALACE GATES FOR SALE.
Set Held In London at the Price si
0,090 Guineas.
From the London Mall.
Two sets of palace gates are In the mar
ket-one belonging to Anne Boleyn's pal
ace at Sunbury, the other to Carshalton
Park. The grounds of Anne Boleyn's pal
ace are being mangled Into building lots,
and the same fate has overtaken beauti
ful Carlshlton Park. The gates wera
bought by a ourlo dealer In the Bromp
ton rood, who makes a Specialty of old
Ironwork—a very different thing from old
Iron.
"Both sets of gates are unique," said
tbs dealer. "My price for the Carshaltop
gates Is 9.000 guineas; for the Anne
gates SAO guineas. An American million
aire. one of the best known men tn the
world, has written over for particulars ot
the gates. He wants one sot for the back
entrance of his park and one for tha
front.”
ln these hard time tt Is refreshing to
hear that someone can afford to pay
17,000-odd for his gates. The Duke of
Devonshire ls said to value the gates of
Devonshire house, in Piccadilly, at about
2,900 guinea*. The rates of Carshalton
Park were designed by Leonl, the Italian
architect. They were to embellish a won
derful palace he had designed for thg
plutocrat Sowwen. Bcawen died, however,
and the palace was nevsr built—only the
gates. They are 1® feet long, of beaten
Ironwork, and date back to about 17®.
At the side are two carved stone piers,
surmounted by huge lead figures at
Actaeon anti Artemis. According to ths
dealer, piers and figures are absolutely
unique.
The gates of Anne Boleyn’s palace tra
much smaller. Expert* in gates think that
i they were put up In the time* of Elisa
i beth, poor Anne's daughter. There Is o
i quaint squareness about their design
which is certainly suggeeilvs of Elisa
bet hau art ideal*.
"They don't make much Ironwork now
adays," said ths dealer, “That's partly
what makes these gates so valuaMs,"
