New York is still searching for

There are scores of small crops
which do not get in the regular re-
ports, and yet which add materially
to the natural wealth of the country.
Here, for instance, is California send-
ing to market an output of apricots
which will net the raisers the snug
sum of $1,250,000. And there are
scores of other small fruits which
swell the Impressive total.
The fashionabje wedding Journey for
British Columbia couples is a tour of

way has just added to its steamship
service a "honeymoon boat" which has
800 "honeymoon staterooms." There
are only 30 second-class berths on the
steamer, since, of course, no bride-
groom would accept inferior accommo-
dations. Bachelors may use tha cheap-
er quarters.
Woman says one of the results of
the extension of the franchise to
women in Norway is that henceforth
women employed in the postal service
are to receive the same pay as men.
Norwegian women are greatly rejoic-
ing over this victory. They deserve
the pay, whatever it is, but it must
be remembered that even men's sal-
aries or wages in that independent
country are small. The American
wage earner would look cross-eyed at
its postal remuneration.
CONTROLLER MURRY CALLS AT
TENTION TO DEFICIENCIES.
IN VIGOROUS MANNER.
The "engagement bracelet" is a
plain flat band of pure gold which
is fastened tightly on the wearer's
arm by an invisible spring or a tiny
lock and key, the latter being worn
by "the other one." In the former case
when once on, the bracelet cannot be
removed except by a small needle es-
pecially manufactured to touch the
spring In a minute hole which is lef
for its insertion. Engagement brace-
lets may cost any price the fiance
chooses to give. Try one.
Formerly when a man wished to
marry in France it cost him not less
than $10 for the 19 separate certifi-
cates which he was compelled to se-
cure before the ceremony could be
performed. The Abbe Leir.alre con-
cluded that this expense and the tron
ble incident to securing the certifi-
cates prevented many marriages, and
gucceoded in persuading parliament tc
change the law and simplify the mar-
rying procosis Since the new law went
Into effect, about a year ago, there
have been nearly 9,000 more mar-
riages than In any similar period since

WORK MUST BE IMPROVED
Claimed Embezzlesments, Defalca-
tions and Dishonesy Have Been
Concealed.
Washington,. Sept. 22.—Straight
from the shoulder was the talk which
Lawrence O. Murray, controller of the
currency, gave to forty-one of the
eighty bank examiners under his of-
fice territory. The examiners are
here to hold a confercnce and Con-
troller Murray gave them something
to think about and discuss. In fact,
the speech can but cause many people
to think favorably of the plan to com-
pel national banks to guarantee de-
positors against loss, and it iB said to
be quite probable that Controller
Murrays' action in calling in his ex-
aminers to hear him tell them their
duties was due in a large measure to
the advocacy of legislation looking to
the guaranteeing of deposits. VI say
to you emphatically that your work
must be Improved," said Mr. Murray.
"Embezzlements have failed of dis-
covery, defalcations and dishonesty
have been concealed from you, and in
many cases you have failed to cor-
recently or even approximately esti-
mate the value of the paper and the
securities held by the bank."
WRIGHT SMASHES RECORD.
Remains Aloft in France An Hour and
a Half.
Le Mans, Sept. 22-—In the presence
of the French Aero Club of Saerto,
American Ambassador White, Gen.
Bezaine-Hayter, commander of the
Fourth Army corps, a large number
of French and foreign officers and
aeroplane experts and a wildly
cheering crowd numbering about 10,-
000, Wilbur Wright, the American
aeroplanist, this afternoon accomplish-
ed a signal triumph, capturing the
worlds record from his brother, Or-
ville Wright, with a marvelously im-
pressive flight in his powerful machine
of 1 hour and 3t minutes and 51 sec-
onds, covering in that, time an actual
distance of ninety-eight kilometers, or
nearly sixty-one miles.
THIRTEEN KILLED IN BIG GUN EXPLOSION
Spectacle Was Horrible—Decks Lit-
tered With Mangled Bodies.
Toulon, France, Sept. 23.—During
gunnery drill yesterday one of the big
turret guns on the French armored
cruiser La Touche Treville exploded
with terrible violence, completely
wrecking the after turret ana killing
outright the entire crew of thirteen
men. A number of men were serious-
ly injured, some of them probably fa-
tally. The accident was similar to
that aboard the gunnery school ship
Couronne, off Lesalins d'Hyeres, Aug.
12 last, when the bursting of the
breech of one of the guns killed thir-
teen and injured eighteen. The spec-
tacle was horrible, the dead and in-
jured together with scattered arms
and legs, littering the decks. A call
to quarters was sounded and speed-
ily as possible the wounded were car-
ed for. The gun that exploded was
of 7.C inches bore, of which the cruiser
carried two. Happening so soon af-
ter the accident on the Couronne, the
explosion caused a sensation in naval
circles and will doubtless lead to a
moat rigid investigation. -
FOUR KILLED; THREE WOUNDED.
Mercury for Tuberculosis.
Washington: Medical Inspector C.
T. Hibbett of the navy, in transmit
ting to the department a paper by
Surgeon B. J. Wright on the treat-
ment of tuberculosis by mercury at
the naval hospital New Fort Lyon,
Colo., says: "We are almost convinced
that mercury judiciously used is a
specific in the treatment of tubercu-
losis in all of its forms. It should be
borne In mind that some of the cases
therein were, at the time that mer-
curial treatment was commenced, ap-
parently at death's door and there can
be no doubt their lives were saved."
Two Villages Are Destroyed.
Rhlnelander, Wis.: Gagan and
Woodboro were destroyed by forest
fires Sunday. The fire started in the
woods Sunday morning and quickly
reached Gagen and Woodboro. Men,
women and children fought valient-
ly to save their homes, but without
avail. Gagan and Woodboro each
had about 2000 residents and nearly
all are homeless.
Sheriff Wounded; Negro Killed.
Atlanta, Ga.: Racing against time
to save the life of Sheriff W. W.
Beard of Clay County, a special train
left this city Monday afternoon over
the Central of Georgia railroad bear-
ing Dr. Floyd W. McRea ot Atlanta.
Sheriff Beard was shot and It was
believed mortally wounded by a ne-
gro he attempted to arrest. After
the bullet had penetrated tls body the
sheriff staggered to his feet and drew
his revolver , instantly killing the ne-
gro. ,
To Eradicate White Plague.
Washington: For the next three
weeks the National Capital will be
the scene of Buch a crusade perhaps
as n^ver before has been witnessed
against humanity's worst enemy—the
white plague. It will be an education-
al campaign, world wide In Its scope,
the ultimate object of which is to
eradicate the disease which statisti-
cal experts declare cuts short the lives
of from one-tenth to one-eighth of tho
j civilized population.
Lancashire Cotton Mills Idle.
Manchester: More than 400 cotton
mills in Lancashire are idle as a re-
sult of the dispute over wages be-
tween operators and employes. This
means that 40,000,000 spindles are
wholly or partially stopped; that more
than $250,000,000 capital, is not bring-
ing in any return, and that 140,000
operators are without work and losing
something over $700,000 In wages a
week. In view of the glutted condi-
tion of the market It is not believed
this cessation of work will entail
heavy damages to the employers.
Hanged but Still Lives.
Anderson: In a terrific nand to
hand battle with a negro, Geo. Clark,
W. H. Taylor, constable, was shot
and seriously wounded near Shiro
Monday night. Taylor was taken to
Houston Tuesday for treatment. A
mob of white citizens later captured
Clark and he was found hanging to a
tree Tuesday morning, living, though
in a serious condition. He Is now in
jail. The w - -es are expressing great
indignation and the officers are on
guard.
Mountaineer and Wife Defy C.TIcera
and Are Killed.
West Plains, Mo., Sept. 21.—Four
persons are dead or dying and three
are injured as the result of a desper-
ate battle in the Ozarks near Pres-
tonia, one mile south of the Missou-
ri State line yesterday between a
Sheriff's posse and John Roberts, a
mountaineer and bis wife. The Sher-
iff met death at the hands of Mrs.
Roberts, who defended her husband
and her home to the iast, and 'when,
atfter hours' of figflrting, the ipoMgo
stormed and carried the house, she
was found lying under a window, a
pump gun clasped in her stiffening
tigers, blood oozlg from fourteen
wounds.
fhe affair was the outcome of a
feud between Roberts and htf neigh-
bor, Kessinger, of almost a year's
standing. Both lived In the heart of
the Ozarks, and, like true mountain-
eers, they shunned the courts of just-
Ice to settle their difficulties, recog-
nizing the right of might only.
Texas-Oklahoma Crop Good.
Dallas: In all of the cotton-pro-
duclng States east of the Mississippi
River and in Arkansas and Louisiana
west of the river bottom has deteri-
orated since September 1. The loss
has been severe In Mississippi, Ark-
ansas, Tennessee, Alabama and in
the lowland of Louisiana. It seems
to have been caused by hot, dry, forc-
ing weather, .which hurried the cot-
ton plant to maturity. In Oklahoma
and Western Texas the plant is still
in a thrifty condition and has im-
proved during September.
Convict Leasing Ends.
Atlanta, Ga.: Just at midnight
Saturday night Governor Hoke Smith
signed the convict lease bill, which
hereafter prohibits the leasing of fel-
ons except by the consent of the Gov-
ernor and Prison Commissioner. The
bill was passed by the Legislature
Saturday after $35,000 had been spent
In an extra session and nearly a
month used In discussing the legisla-
tion. With the signature of Governor
Smith on the bill, Georgia has done
away with a system which has been
in existence ever since 1865.
West Texas Fair Opens.
Abilene: The twelfth annual meet-
ing of the West Texas Fair opened
Tuesday with the Cowboy and Girl pa-
rade, accompanied by the Indians.
Prospects are the best in the history
of the fair for a success in every de-
partment. Through the combined ef-
forts of the Commercial Club and the
fair association the agricultural ex-
hibits are decidedly the best in the
history of the association.
Dies from Rabies.
Denison: Henry Mayo, a resident
of Oklahoma relates a singular death
in his neighborhood. Nine years ago

dent of Lewiston, 111., was bitten by a

widow, irtrs. Jane Dowie, on White
Lake, Muskogon county.
American Ship Crew Rescued.
Grand Turks Island: The Clyde
steamer Seminole, which arrived
Sunday from New York, rescued the
crew of the abandoned schooner
John A. Matheson, from Baltimore,
174 miles north of Turks Island. The
Matheson had a severe experience in
the hurricane in these waters. She
dismasted and abandoned by the crew
on September -15. The boats kept
pretty well together, although the sea
was running high, and the Seminolo
was able to pick up all hands.

fidence. From her vast correspond-
ence with sick women during the
past thirty years she may have
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. Such letters as the fol-
