SEGER & SON, J Next to Bank, Emporium, Pa CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY JANUARY 8, 1903. Death of Jessie B. Fremont. It is sad news that Jessie Benton Fre mont is dead in poverty at the age of 7i) I years She has long been forgotten and | neglected by a Nation that owes much ! to her. In a sense it is to her that we i owe the acquisition of California. More than 60 years ago she was the belle of Washington, the daughter of the famous Missouri Senator who made the record of 30 years in that body. She married the dashing Fremont who set out to ex plore California at a time when it was still Mexican territory. Thegoverment having authorized the expedition, sud denly took fright and ordered him back, but the romantic Jesie circumvented the authorities and the pathfinder went on his way and came back loaded with honors. Indue time California became part of this country, and Fremont was the first Republican candidato for the Presidency. It often has happened in our history that we have neglected those to whom we owe so much, and never was the case more conspicuous than in the treatment of Senator Benton and his daughter. Benton was one of tho best equipped legislators we have ever had, a man who stood for sound financial legislation, for freedom of action, on the part of individuals and against slavery extension. He was the back bone of the Jackson administration in tha Senate, and his merits have well been set forth by President Roosevelt. As for his daughter, she did what she could for her country and received no reward saTe that of a good conscience. Now that she is dead there will bo tri butes paid to her that would be much more fitting if she had been allowed to live in comfort during her declining years.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Our Apple Crop. We are apple growers in the United Suites because are people are apple eat ers. Every statein tho Union is engag ed in the business of apple-growing, and in some it is a very important in dustry. What is more, it is growing almost every where, so that in a few years hence our apple product will be very considerably augmented. The Southwestern states, especially Arkan sas, Missouri and Kansas have entered upon the apple business with great energy during the past few years and bid fair to rival the more northern and eastern states which are at present the greatest producers. Atthe presenttime Missouri is credit ed with the most trees, 20,000,000 in number which is 5,000,000 more than New York has, and 9,000,000 more than Pennsylvania. But the Missouri orch ards have been set out in recent years, and one-half are not yet bearing, so that during the present yeir she grew only 10,000,000 bushels to New York's 36,000,000 bushels, Pennsylvania's 10,- 000,000, Ohio's 14,000,000, while Mich igan, Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Ken tucky and West Virginia nearly reach ed her output. No tables are given for the output of Oregon, Washington and Utah, but these are also growers of excellent fruit, rivaling the crops in many of the states in the east. The output of the principal fifteen apple-growing states have been esti mated for the present year at 161,000,000 bushels; in 1901 it was only 126,000,000, but in 1900 it reached 207,000,000. The productive capacity of the 201,000,000 trees in the first fifteen producing states is estimated at 300,000,000 bushels, or 100,000,000 barrels, but as full crops are never grown the entire country over in the same year,such a crop is not to be looked for. From the number of trees it wou'd naturally be supposed that the quantity of bushels produced would be much greater than it realy is, as given above. The average crop of a tree in New York is (ound to be only three and a half hushe's, while in the Mississippi valley it hardly exceeds one bushel per tree. | This must seem very strange to most ! readers, who see trees here in Petin i sylvania that bear from five to fifteen I bushels. "A Chinese Honeymoon." Talbot & Dance's tuneful importation pronounced on all sides to he the very limit of grandeur in scenic embelish ment and the very best musical comedy or comic opera this country has ever seen, dwarfing in comparison the deli cious lyrics and comedy of "Mikado," "Pinafore," etc., and establishing a new standard of excellence in the musical comedy with its all-star cast, will be Nixon & Zimmerman's offering at the Alvin, Pittsburg, next week, January Pith to 17th, forming, as has been wide ly heralded, the season's greatestevent, socially, musically, and from a theutri- I cal standpoint. The opera has to its ! credit nearly three hundred perform ances at the New York Casino, seven successful weeks in Philadelphia and the unlimited praise of all who have wit nessed its performances, while the ! strains of "Mr. Dooley," "ltoley Fo ley," "The Honeymoon," "The A-La <iiri," "The Chinese Fan," "I Want to Bo a Lidy," "Nursery Rhymes," "Breaking Hearts," "Frocksand Frills," | "Martha Spanks, the Grand Panner," "I Love but Thee," etc., are heard on every side and loudly applauded and demanded again and again whenever their gentle rhythms resound, for never has a more tuneful, more deserving score been heard. Among that all star cast which has aided so materially in the HueceHsoP'A Chinese Honeymoon" we find Toby Claude acting as "Fi Fl," who is a hit of the most pronounced order; John F, llenshaw, as Kmperi r; W. 11. Clark as Admiral Hi l.uug; May Tenbrooke, as the Mother In Law; Bell Harper, as Mrs Pineapple, and eight of the most strenuous ol tool light holies for the bridesmaids and a ehoru 1, the like of which has never, m>, never been seen In comic opera anywhere in (his country.
