DYNAMITE CASKS TRIED IX
U. S. DISTRICT COURT TO-DAY.
(Special to Tho Citizen.)
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1. Fifty-
ono dynamite conspiracy cases wero
called In the U. S. District court at
10:30 to-day. Attorney Havey for
the defense, moved that each caso
be tried separately Instead of con
solidating them. Judgo Anderson
granted tho rulo and each man
charged in tho conspiracy cases will
be tried separately. District Attor
ney Miller will move for tho consoli
dation of the cases on another
ground. The defense then asked for
time to get the cases in shape for
trial, while Ortie McMangal, the In
'lormer, was arraigned. Tho court
Ked McMangal If ho was guilty of
conspiracy charge against him.
.entence on him was suspended for
the time being. The court room was
crowded with eager men arid women.
Fifty of the defendants were pres
ent, only one being missing, and he
Is In a Brooklyn hospital suffering
from a broken leg. Several hundred
witnesses have been summoned. It
is expected that the trial will last
several months.
X. J. Hannon, a business agent for
tho Central Labor Union, Scranton,
Pa., is a defendant.
GATHEUIXG FItUIT.
This Is one of tho Important mat
ters that Is looked forward to with
pleasure as well as anxiety. There
are different methods of gathering
as well as different classes of people
to gather. Somo aro careful hand
ling tho fruit with as much care as
though they wero so many eggs; an
other class are careless and Indiffer
ent as to tho condition of tho fruit
and will crowd anything In tho bar
rel and I am sorry to say this care
less and Indifferent method of grad
ing and packing and losing sight of
the golden rule, Do unto others as
you would havo others do unto you,
has gone a long way to givo Wayne
county fruit a bad reputation.
We may learn to Judge tho ripe
ness of the large fruits such as ap
ples and pears by observation and
experience. When ready to be pick
ed they will have attained their full
size; they will lose some of their
greenness and assume tho more
delicate tints wo observe in the ripe
fruit but tho best practical test is
the ready separation of tho stem
from the branch. In those fruits
which aro suspended by a stem.
This organ belongs to the fruit Itself
and Is Intimately connected with Its
tissues. Wo will find that It parts
readily from the branch at that per
iod of ripeness when It Is best to
separate It. When a pear Is rlpo It
parts easily without breaking tho
stem by taking hold of tho fruit and
turning it around one-fourth of a cir
cle. Somo fruits attain their highest
degree of excellenco by leaving them
hang to tho tree until tho texture of
the fruit is soft. Theso varieties of
fruits aro best when consumed In
tho Immediate neighborhood for If
picked in this condition and are to
bo conveyed to distant markets they
arrive in such bad condition as to j
render them unfit for consumption.
Such fruits as soon as separated
from tho branch start In a process of
decomposition and soon decay. Tho
peacn is a rair illustration. Al
though peaches aro now raised In re
mote sections hundreds of miles from
market they aro picked as soon as
they havo attained bIzo and tho first
indication of ripening. They aro
packed and at onco placed In re
frigerator cars and shipped by fast
freight. They then arrlvo at their
destination in fair condition.
Somo apples and many varieties of
pears aro often much Improved by
a continuation of ripening after thoy
aro gathered. Somo of tho summer
varieties It Is true will ripen whllo
attached to tho tree but In most In
stances If left too long on tho treo
they becomo over rlpo and lose
their juiciness and 'becomo mealy
and rotten at tho coro. Clapp's
Favorite, a flno Juicy pear, when
picked at tho proper stago and ripen
ed In a suitable plnco, will bo worth
less If loft to hang until they get
yollow, therefore It la advlsablo
with nearly every variety to pluck
them a llttlo prematurely. In this
condition thoy can lio handled with
loss bruising which lmpalres their
keeping qualities. Tho liner red,
Winter apples wo wish to havo their
brilliant color as fully developed as
possiblo and a few days In tho fall
with frosty nights and hot sun
shinny days adds considerably to the
attractiveness of tho applo and de
tracts nothing from tho kcoplng
qualities. Tho flavor Is also percep
tibly Improved as wo Invariably find
the well-colored specimens aro also
more highly flavored than those
lacking color. W. II. BULLOCK.
