This Is chiefly about Snlanutn Tuber omn or l.lsarnni Poruvlanunt, which ever people may chnnso to call It, If they tlnn't choose they can cay Mm ply plain potato. It Is li subject which If Mtally InterrstlnK to a Rieat ninny Just now. Queer, ton, now a potato's food value Ij ineptly In starch, of which It contains from L to 2.1 per cent. Now even body knows that starch Is bad for the largest propor tion of human kind and yet when po tatoes ro up to 12 n bushel the voice of lamentation Is heard lu the land. They are deficient In albuminoids and phosphates, and yet when potatoes go up past 25" cents a peck there Is sor row. A Tribune representative yesterday started out to settle this quetlon and find out that's the matter. A Lacka wanna county dealer divulged the se cret All this trouble Is because the early crop which comes from the South has been absorbed by the heat and hungry people They were little potatoes and few In a hill and now they are "all any more" to quote Lancaster county poetty Consequently potatoes come high. Yesterday they were being sold nt wholesale from $1 to $1.25 a bushel, the retailer getting 33 cents to 40 cents a peck. (People nre buying by quarts now). In the course of about two weeks they will take n tumble In pi-Ire. $1 10 cents probably at whole-s-ilo and a little later they will come down to 25 cents a peck to the retail buyer There Is little hope that this left-handed utaff of life will be any less the present year and before new potatoes rome next season. The west ern ctop is a balm to our woe, and Michigan potatoes are considered line. They nren't hero yet. They nre busy swelling themselves' up to tho degree of Importance represented. Ten years ago the agricultural dis tricts hereabouts supplied our potatoes, but the farmers have taken to ralslnrf milk (and some customers have their opinion' of that crop) so the potatoes come from farther nnd farther away and thero Is even a hint that we've got to get them from Ireland. How ever the people of Scranton need not worry, potatoes 111 be cheaper In n fortnight. But this isn't the worst of It. Apples nro ery scarce this year There Is, only a 30 per icnt. crop In New York state and 40 per cent In Pennsylvania. They will be vety high. The man who was In this office yesterday with pome beautiful big red apples left over from last year's crop, ought to make a fortune If he hns enough apples He didn't leave any to eat here. So as he calls them the Missing Link the name Is very apptoprlate. The wholesale dealer yesteiday con fided the fact that the housekeeper who didn't .venire her peaches for "do ing up," this week or next, is going to regret It everlastingly. They are wholesaling at t" cents to $1.10 now, the fine Yellow Crawfords and Reeves, but they have tome In such a rush that the ctop will be soon exhausted. Thero la only one-fourth to one-third crop any way because of the recent rains. The New Jersey and MUhlgan peaches will come later, but they will alio come higher. They will run from $1.50 to $3.50 a bushel, which Isn't so bad, considering that the present bas kets are one-half bushel sire, but the price given Is the wholesale rates. One bright spot gleams through the gloom. If this section' of the earth Is to be an nppleless Kden we shall have oranges galore. There will be a great ciop and the price will be low. F. L. BROWN SWORN IN Mr. Jnckson Stuck Out to the End and Refused to Resign For mal Letter of Remov al Not Necessary. F. L. Brown, the newly appointed building Inspector, was sworn in- yes terday afternoon by Director of Pub lic Safety F. L. Wortnser and will as sume the duties of his office this morn ing. T. H.

Director Wotmser. when seen by a Tribune man, said that he would not formally remove Mr, Jackson, as there was no necessity for him to do so. "It Is not necessary," said he, Mj request for a resignation was merely' a polite way of telling Mr. Jnckson that his services were no longer ic qulred."

Prefers to Remain In tho Ranks, Al though the Position Proffered Him, In Addition to Giving Him Easier Work, Carries with It S8 Per Month More Pay Now Men Sworn In nnd Assigned to Beats. Pnntlo Is the Biggest of the Pour, Physlcnlly Speaking. it's very seldom thnt a ninn In the ordinary walks of life refuses to ne eept n promotion when It Is offered to him. but It's an absolute rarity to nnu n member of a qunsl-mllltary organis ation refusing an Incrcasa In rank, pay and power. That's wh.it Patrolman Michael Walsh has done, however. He was promoted on Monday to the rank of lieutenant to succeed Louis Goerdltz In command of the most Important preclnit In the city, but he declined the honor, yesterday, nnd told Super intendent Holding that he didn't want to bo a lieutenant at all. "1 don't want tho place." said he. "I'll rather lemaln a patrolman." He was on duty on Lackawanna ave nue yesterday afternoon, but didn't report nt 0.30 o'clock to tnka charge of the central city precinct as he was In structed by tho general order to do. Sergenut Kldigeway was accordingly placed in charge temporarily and In the mantlme another effort will be made to get the reluctant "Itoscoe" to allow the powers that be to thrust honors upon him. Former Lieutenant (locrlitz went back on his old Wyoming .venue beat last night, nnd Lieutenant Davis took charge in West Scranton, as did Lleu- l r.twil luiiuri ill owini lUMiiiMiiii Captain Wllllnms and Detective Day will assume the duties of their respec the places today. The new patrolmen all reported to Superintendent Holding yesterday and were sworn In. Thomas and Mcllale were assigned to duty In North Scran ton, while Pantle reported to Lieuten ant Zang nnd was plnced on a beat in South Scranton. Webber and Ttrad shaw were assigned to beats In the cen tral city. All of th new patrolmen are very good physical specimens of humanity. Pnntl" is the biggest of the new mn and will vie with Sal try. Marker nnd Day for the honor of being.tho biggest man on the force. He Is feet 2 Inches high nnd weighs 245 pounds. Thomas Is nbout 6 feet tall nnd weighs nearly 200 pounds. The other three men are of medium height and are Inclined to be Just a little bit corpulent, their aver age weight being ahout 190 pounds. NO CHANGES THIS WEEK. Plre Department Changes to Be Made Next Week Zizelman, It Is Said, Is to Be Retained. It was believed by many that a gen era shake-up of the fire department was booked to follow the police de partment shake-up yesterday, but It didn't transpire and a person who is In a inost excellent position to know said that it wouldn't happen befote next wt-ek. It can be said on th? very best of au thority that the lire department changes will not be very nunieious and that not more than four men nt the outside ate booked to go. It can also be stated on this same good authority that Chief .izelman Is to br retained nt tins head of the de partment nnd that the rumors to the effect that he Is scheduled for removal are unfounded.

Assistant City Solicitor Explains About the Viewers' Bill. Assistant City Solicitor D. J. Davis, who approved the bill of tho viewers for the small strip of land on Sctanton street, which caused such a hubbub at the auditing committee meeting on Thursday night, said yesterday that tho bill Is not exorbitant, but Is, on the contrary, evtremely moderntc, as viewers' bills go. "It wnsn't simply a case of going over nnd assessing the value of th property," said he. Inceptions were taken to the valuation agreed upon and the owner of the property en gaged a lawyer to look after his In terests. Wo had several hearings here In the city hnll. which consumed cntlie mornings, nnd tin- viewers met together on several other occasions. "Their bill for six day's work, with a day counting ns five hours, was, to my mind, very reasonable, nnd when it was presented to me 1 approved It without hesitancy. These viewers had the decency to come to this nfllce for approval of their hill, a thing that u great many In the past have not done." It Is probable that City Solicitor Watson will address a communication to councils, explaining the facts In the case to counteract any adverse criti cism of the management of his office which might be made. He expressed himself ns henrtlly In favor tt the resolution which It Is proposed to have Introduced, directing lilm to request court to examine a lit tle more carefully tho viewers' bills presented In the future. BAD TASTE OF WATER. Superintendent Reeves Says It Was Caused by Sunday's Rain. Dr. Allen Investigating. Theie hns bnen something radically wrong with the city's water supply ever since Monday night. At least this Is the verdict of every person whoses senses of taste and smell are normal. The water for the past two days has had a disagreeable taste and an odor quite offensive. It Is amost Impossi ble to drink It nnd boiling does not take away the taste. Tea made -with It Is not of Its natural flavor nnd there seems to be no posslhle wny of getting lid of either the odor or taste. Superintendent Robert Reeves ,of the Scranton (las nti)l Water compiuiy, when seen last night by a Tribune man and asked for an explanation of th" cause of the trouble, said: 'The bad taste of the water Is the direct result of the excessive rainfall on Sunday. The forests near Lehigh. through which tho headwaters of the Una ting btook flow, became- flooded to the depth of several Inches by the rain and this water flowed Into the stream and was carried Into our leservolrs. "The woodlands from which this water conies mo free from contamina tion and theie can no possible h.um come from drinking the water. The peculiar taste Is purely n woody one and Is not so disagreeable after tbe water has been drunk several times. We expect that It will be entirely gone In two or three days, but we nre power less to do nnythlng to prevent it." Thero has been a story current to tbe effect that tho bad taste of the water came from a (Jccayed vegetable growth on the bottom of some of the reser voirs, but Mr. Reeves said that this is absolutely false. Health Olllcer All-n, when seen by a Tiibunt man, said that he was making an investigation as to the cause of the trouble, but would say nothing further for publication. He would offer no ex planation legatdlng his method of In vestigation nor would he say whether he had any theory of his own. " may havo something to say in a day or two," he said. WAS AGAIN ARRESTED. Adnm Hobrowitz Charged with Sell ing Without a License. Adam Hobrowitz. of Mooslc street, who was held In $500 ball on Monday, charged with selling bottled beer without a bottler's license, wns arrest ed yesterday on the charge of selling Intoxicants nt retail without a license. The prosecution was brought tinder the speakeasy ordinance recently adopted by councils, tlr prosecutor be ing Constable "Tim" Jones. After a hearing, Magistrate Howe released Hobrowitz upon the payment of th'' costs. He Is suffering from miner's asthma and this fact prompted the magistrate to be lenient. CAUSED BY A BLAST. Injuries Sustained by Simon Shar insky in Richmond Colliery. Simon Shnrlnsky, of Prlcehurg, was taken to the Lackawanna hospital jes terdny suffering painfully from several cuts and bruises received while at work In the Richmond colliery of the New York, Ontario and Western Ball road company. A ptemature blast occurred near where he was working and the flying pieces of rock nnd coal lesulted in his Injuries, none of which were, how ever, of a very serious nature. JOHN CRANE IS IN TEXAS.
