He says there Is still $543 due him and ne is anxious to get it. The officials and civic organizations of Vallejo are amazed at Cohn's atti tude. They prophesy that he will have to wait yet a little longer before he eeas all that is due him for that dis astrous .leant. - Cohn continues to protest against his critics. He says he paid a high price for his meat and supposed it was fresh. He believes he has said the last word when he states that he and his wife ate the food themselves and suf fered no evil effects. Despite his assertion of his Innocence, lour separate investigations into hi case have been ordered. Dr. N. K. Foster and Dr. Martin Regensberarer. re spectively secretary and president of tne state board 01 health, have ordered an analysis made of the sandwich meats served at tne luncheon. Dr. W. C.

New York, Dec, 11. -Expecting to reap a better harvest this season than last, the Christmas tree venders have begun to ship their stock to this city. The first consignment arrived this week and was .displayed today in Wash ington market. The Christmas tree trade In New York has grown to mammoth propor tions and it requires many carloads and even shiploads of trees to supply the metropolis and its suburbs. Morf trees of large size are used than ever before. This Is due to the growing custom' of churches, societies, lodges and other bodies of having a mammoth tree in common, which has largely done away with the old time practice of individual family Christmas trees. The trees In Maine and Canada are becoming scarcer each year and it re quires more labor to market the trees than In former years. All the available trees alone the railroads have been cut and now the dealers are compelled to haul the trees many miles before they can ship them on cars. Still the supply seems equal to the demand and the indications are that the trees will cost more this season than heretofore. There appears to be a scarcity, how ever, of holly and mistletoe, especially of the better grades, and It Is probable Rome fancy prices will be realized on these popular articles of decoration.
