I have Installed Saturday afternoon baseball games. The men look forward to them like kids and behave themselves. For if they do not. their baseball tickets are taken away from them. That Is a worse punishment to them than being confined in the solitary cell. I have let them give their vaudeville shows. I have trusted them. I have studied them. I have appealed to their better side, and I believe I have been successful In reform ing them." NEW COLLECTOR OF John Purroy Mitchel, independent Democrat and president of the board of aldermen of New York, has been appointed collector of the port at that city to succeed William Loeb, Jr. The selection brought what the White House termed "a happy solution" to a contest In which state leaders cf every wing of the New York Democ racy bad taken a lively part Mr. Mitchel was acting mayor after the shooting of Mayor Gaynor by J. J. Gallagher Aug. 9. 1910. until Mr. Gaynor was able to resume his official duties. Candidates for the post, which pays $12,000 a year and carries with It the appointment of an army of em ployes In the country's biggest custom house, were numerous from the start For a time political circles ex- pected a break between the adminis tration and Senator O'Gorman Re cently, however, friends of Mr. Mit chel. whose candidacy had been dropped at his own wish some time ago, renewed their efforts in his behalf and when the president went to the Capitol to talk with Senator1 O'Gorman about it, the New York senator himself suggested Mr. Mitchel as the best man for the position. Mitchel was born thirty-four years ago in Fordham, N. Y. After graduating from Columbia university and the New York Law school, he entered the office of William B.

' ' FRUIT CROP NOT FAVORABLE The Prospects Are Lessened Since the Last Announcf mint "May Drop1 " la the Great Cause. Raleigh. - State Horticulturist W. N, Hutt does not make a favorable promise for North Carolina fruit. The last bulletin sent out until re cently was very good, but the pros pects have been greatly lessened since his earlier report The intermittent cold was bad, the cold spring coming upon the warm winter did much harm, but "May drop" has done the work, it seems. The report of Mr. Hutt said: "Since my report of April 29th of the fruit prospects of North Carolina tor 1913 there has been an extended period of drought over almost the entire state. This baa caused an exceptionally heavy "May drop" on nearly all classes of fruit and it has very materially lessened the favorable prospects of two weeks ago. The mountain fruit suffered severe ly from heavy cold spells in March, also from the cold wave ot April 26th. There has been a good deal of injury reported from cold, biasing winds on certain slopes, while in coves and sheltered places ' some heavy crops are reported. The average of a large number of reports sent in by growers from all parts of the state gives the following percentage estimate of the fruit crop tor 1913 as based on the crop of 1912' takn as a full crop. Fruit prospects for entire state: Apples 40 per cent of full crop. Pears 15 per cent of full crop. Peaches 30 per cent ot full crop. Grapes 68 per cent of full crop. A further analysis of reports for mountain, piedmont and coast gives about the same average a that for the whole state. Senate Confirms Eight Postmasters.

PICWNG PROBABLY no business In the world is more absolutely de . pendent on the services of an animal than Is the teak indus- . iry on inqae ui m vieyuauw In Java, it is true, the Umber, being smaller and the conditions different hand labor and Implements are em ployed, and in parts even of Burma and 81am the country is sufficiently flat to permit the carting by buffaloes being used as a method of extraction. But these parts are comparatively few and far between, and the obstacles in the way of introducing heavy plants Into a country deficient In good roads, bridges or, facilities for transport must be at once apparent writes ft corre spondent ot the London Times. Even without these obstacles It is doubtful whether teak, being so scattered as It Is, could ever be profitably worked up and down steep hillsides by ma chinery, svhlle it Is as certain as any thing can be that no machinery could ever devised to perform the part played by elephants In the water. Apart from the enormous bodily strength which enables It to drag, an elephant can, with Its forehead, trunk or tusks, push and roll enormous logs about as If they were playthings, nor does It mind working tn water five, feet sod even more, in depth. Asiatic Differs From African. The Asiatic elephant which belongs to an entirely different species from the African and resembles the latter hardly more closely than the buffalo does the ox. Is, like the teak tree, con fined mainly to India, Farther India and the Malay peninsula. Wild herds ane aUll found. to. Burma and 81am, where they are carefully protected. special license being required to shoot them In the former country and the law forbidding .their destruction ex cept In cases of necessity, or for self- defenes in the latter. Even few years the Siamese government holds "keddah" operations or catches . at Ayuthla, and by their agency the do mesticated are recruited from the free herds. That apart from its work, the condi tions under which the elephant Is to live in captivity should as closely as possible resemble those of Its wild state will naturally, be the owner's first care. It la ft purely herbivorous animal, and thrives well on the ordi nary Jungle plants and creepers, the Juicy "kalng" grass, young bamboo shoots and wild plantain being among its favorite foods. In Slam, It Is hardly ever stall fed, as It Is in India; in the neighborhood of a town or vil lage, when It has to be tied up, food must of course, be brought to it But as ft general rule, the animal Is sim ply turned out int othe Jungle to find Its food for itself, the forefeet being hobbled to prevent its straying too far. Among its primary requisites are shade and abundance of water. 'Given these and good grazing, an elephant has a fair chance of keeping Its con dition throughout the seven months which constitute its working season. The latter begins, as already stated. In June. : From that time onward, tne animal's daily and weekly routine is something as follows: Directly it Is daylight the rider leaves his camp, goes out to track his charge, which. despite his hobbled . condition,, will often succeed in straying a distance of several miles; bathes him all over in the creek this is one of the most Important of the mahout's duties and brings him to the scene or tne any s work. : Operations begin at seven a. Bu or a little before, and go on till 11. by which time the power of the sun generally renders It Imprudent to continue further. For It must be re membered that 'the elephant is natur ally a nocturnal animal and extremely Old Ana Not Always Msllowino. It seems that age is not always ft mellowing process. , I have ' known old ladles from whom people fled as from the plague. An assertive, pres ence; a loud and commanding voice; eyes which could stare the offender out ot countenance, and. a fixed de termination to have thier own way about everything, made up a whole hMnr which children and servants quailed, and even the average brave man trembled in bis boots.

UP A LOAD liable to sunstroke. On the comple tion of their day's "work the animals are brought to camp, divested of thetf gear, hobbled and turned out Into the Jungle. Toward evening the riders pay them another visit to make sura that their charges have not slipped their hobbies, as they occasionally manage to do, or been walked oft by a gang of thieves, who till lately In fested some parts of Slam, and even now are not. unknown. The elephants are inspected by the foreman 1 la charge of the camp, bathed and left to browse in peace until the follow ing morning. After five days' work they receive two days' complete rest or three days If the spell has been an arduous one. In January, or early February, they are removed to ever green forests, where they will, even during the ensuing hot months, be able to find abundant food and water, and, being called upon to do no work whatever, they soon become fat and ready tor ft new season's labors. Work Is Heavy. The foregoing account of the ele phant's working program makes Its lot appear a remarkably, easy one. Aa average of four or five hours ft day tor five days of the week, complete rest on the other two, and during five months of the year no work at all at first sight ths elephant seems to be In clover. It must however, be Jorn in mind, first that the work It per forms Is the heaviest done by any ant mat In the world; secondly, as already stated, that It Is a nocturnal animal unaccustomed In Its wild state even to travel much less to work. In the heat of the day. Easy as its hours mar sound, experience shows that they cannot be safely Increased. For, It the' elephant Is the most powerful animal ip the 'world, it is also one ol the most delicate. Not only Is It terri bly liable to surra -and 'anthrax,! dis eases prevalent among an the tattle of the country, but heart failure and exhaustion are also common, while ac cidents, such as snake bites, are often fatal Owners naturally do not cars to risk unnecessary exposure to tba sun to the already' lengthy list ol causes which produce death, causes from which, despite all their precau tions, the teak companies of. Slam must reckon annually to lose between five and ten per cent of their stock. The increasing scarcity, and conse quently increasing value, ot elephants Is Indeed already ft matter of gravs concern to all interested In the teak business. Whereas ten or fifteen years ago ft good "tusker might' be purchased for 2.Q00 rupees, three times that sum Is now sometimes de manded, while cows and "bines" i. tnaklaaa malaa vary, in DrlCS from 3,000 to 6,000 rupees. These prices speak, for themselves and need no comment r' .' " The majority of the elephants now working timber have been caught In the wild state and tamed. But the ani mals also breed fairly well In cap tivity, and, needless to say, great care is taken of the calves. ' From the age of four to six they are usually placed with ft native trainer, who accustoms them to dragging small logs or carry ing light loads. The animal Is. as a rule, kept for transport purposes till between its fifteenth or - twentieth year, by which Urns it la beginning to attain something like its fnll growth and strength. From this time onward, should it be docile and tractable, it will become ft regular worker.
