INV ANARCHIST FIREBnG.
That Is What the Cfty's Police Call Ber-
nard Bleum.

That Is What the Cfty's Police Call Ber-
nard Bleum.
The mysterious prisoner who was
brought to Police Headquarters Tuesday
evening by Detectives Dalton md Nc
alias Bernard Newman, who, the Brooklyn
police say, is an anarchist, and whom
they want for incendiarism. He was ar
rested at his home, No. 81 Porter street.
Some time ago Detective Miller, of the
Fourteenth precinct, Brooklyn, called on
Chief Murphy INC asked him to locate
Bleum in this city.
As the Chief keeps track of all the an
archists in the city, their habits, haunts
and associations, Detectives Dalton and
McNally, who were assigned to the case,
had no trouble in locating their man at
No. 493 Germania avenue, but as the case
was not quite ready, no arrest was made
until Tuesday.
In the meantime Bleum removed to No.
81 Porter street. The Brooklyn police
have for some time been aware of q con
spiracy among the anarchists of that city
TO burn down houses in order to obtain
the insurance, and they say they have a
clear case against Bleum and several
others,
THE INcENDIARIEs' METHOD.
The plan upon which these people work
is simple enough. They hire a small house
and store, and stock the store with goods
upon which they obtain as heavy an in
surance as possible. The family of one of
the con~spirators lives in the rooms at the
rear of the store. Some evening a lamp
with a hole in the bowl,so that the oil will
run out, is placed on the table in the rear
room, and bladders filled with benzine and
connected by long burning fuses are also
placed on the table.
The fuses are lighted and the family all
visit another conspirator, in order to be
prepared with an alibi if necessary. If
the fire is discovered in time to extinguish
it,, the old story of a lamp explosion is
told, and the pieces of the broken lamp
are exhibited as evidences.
A cigar store was fired in this
December 6 in Brooklyn, and on February
20 q small tenement in the same place was
also destroyed.
HE WAS VEIL EQUIPPED.
When Bleum was arrested he denied
that he had any of the bIadders in his
possession, and he did not know what the
officers were talking about.
Policeman Kratzberg, of the Oakland
avenue station, who was detailed to search
the house, found twenty-five of the blad-
ders concealed between two mattresses.
Shortly after Bleun's arrest, Detective
Britten, in the employ of the New York
insurance companies, called at headquar-
tiers, and said he wanted Bleum for sew
eral acts Of incendiarism in New York.
Bleum was taken to Brooklyn last even
ing.

WINDOW GARDENING.
Plants That Thrive in the
Heated Air of Draw
ing Rooms.
ONLY A LITTLE HIGH CHAIR.
A Problem in Threes---Personalities
and Other Matters in Which
Ladies Are Interested.

Window gardening has never taken
the hold over here that it has in Lon
don, where every house in some streets
has its front window filed with plants.
Indeed, over there, the rivalry is
great, as prizes are given for the best
show made in any window. The eli
mate makes a difference, al it is 80
changeable here and keeping up the
furnace fire all winter, as well as the
gas, has it's effects on the plants.
Those who can afford to do so here
have their boxes renewed at the florists
every month OF six weeks, which en-
sures their being fresh and in a hand
some condition all the time. The
plants purchased in the fall are sure to
be healthy, and are better for people
to start on that are going to take care
of them personally than those they
have had during a summer. They are
also ready then to be shifted into
larger pots. Tropical plants, such as
bouvardias and begonias, require a
higher temperature. They would not
live in a room with the thermometer
going as low as forty or fifty degrees
at night. On the other hand, gera-
NUNS do best with a temperature of
about forty-five degrees, more heat in
juring them. Greenhouse plants, how
ever, can stand a high temperature bet
ter than the dollhouse plants can;
stand the low. When the window is
exposed to the sun for dropping plants
to hang on the outer edge of the box,
petunias, passiflours and tropaoluns
are the best to buy. For upright
plants geraniums, begonias and hell
otrope can be pretty well managed
Crysanthemums are usually kept in
pots and not put in the boxes. If
they are somewhat kept back they
will not flower until December, when
they make a fine show. For plants in
the shade ivys cissus, sedums and ivy
leaf geraniums do well. To be very
successful with plants, however, a
person really requires a natural taste
for gardening.

BARLEY CampbelI's 'sFate, at Jacobs
Hoboken Theatre.

BARLEY Campbell's 'Fate" at Jacobs
Hoboken Theatre.
One of the neatest and strongest
high-class domestic plays now on the
stage will be presented this evening at
the Hoboken Theatre. 1t is one of
the earliest and best efforts of that
brilliant, but erratic genius, the ia
nous BARLEY Campbell, and contains
the wondrous commingling of fearful
pathos and hilarious ~comicality for
which all his works are noted. The
leading character is represented by
Miss Lee Lamar, whose unusual beauty
of face and voice is strongly praised
by the press of all sections visited. The
company, play and performance is
first class in every respect. They
bring a special setting for the Water
fall in the Glen,n which is very beau
tiful. The engagement is for three
nights and Saturday matinee.

Look out for this swindler.

The latest little swindle in the ped
ding line is being worked through the
suburban towns in New Jersey. a.
man goes round to each house with a
bottle Of medicine, a box of salve, and
vial of ''perfumed disinfectant," the
whole lot for a dollar. The latter, he
alleges, will diffuse a pleasant odor
through a room, and will, at the same
time, be a safeguard against contagion.
He insists upon leaving a bottle and
asks that it be tried. He will call
again in a few days, and if it has not
been found satisfactory he will not
charge anything for it, He slips the
cork in his pocket and leaves the open
bottle to perfume and disinfect the
room. The liquid is very volatile, and
when he gets back in a day or two it
has nearly e~vaporated, whereupon he
demands fifty cents for what has been
used" Often he gets it.-Nea0 York

The latest romance about Alexan-
der, late of Bulgaria, is that while he
was being king there he was always
attended by a tall and handsome .ja-
ger who never left him for a moment
and who on several occasions inter
posed between him and danger at
great personal risk. At night the
jaeger slept in the anteroom of the
royal chamber, and at least one plot to
assassinate the Prince is said to have
been thus frustrated. After the Prince
left Bulgaria the jaeger disappeared,
and 1t has since been discovered that
the person was a woman, who was
desperately in love with the Prince
and had sworn to protect him.-NeW

1.-THE world says Lawrence Bar
rett, ''has probably heard for the last
time the greatest actor who speaks the
English language"
1t is the peculiar detriment of the
actors career that the medium of his
art is the unstable air. While this
generation lives, and thinks, and feels
emotion the fine spirit of Edwin
Booth will be at work for the eleva-
ton and refinement of mankind.
But no artists brush san perpetuate
the kindling of the eye, nor can the
thrill of the voice be put in type, and
when the admiring recollection of con
temporaries shall have passed away
the name of Edwin Booth will live
like that of Garrick, Keane, or For
rest, a cold and lifeless monument of
genius dead.

THE CITY SEWAGE.

Report that the South Side Irriga
tion Company Will Give ItUp.
1t was reported yesterday around the
new City Hall that the South Side Irriga-
ton Company intends to give up it's con-
tract with the city by which it agrees to
take the sewage. 1t was stated that an
injunction had been served on the COM
pany or was threatened by the citizens
of Florence. through which place the
company has been laying it's pipes for
the purpose of carrying the sewage to
lands near there. The members of the
company are said to have decided objec-
tions to being put to any expense in the
courts, and therefore will, it is alleged,
abandon the contract with the city, pre-
ferring to forfeit the bond of $4,000
given some years ago. It is said that an
effort will be made to have the city re-
lease the company from the bond and
that if this is not done the company will
tear up its pipes and refuse to take the
sewage under any consideration. The
matter will probably be brought up in
the Council meeting on Monday, as it
was stated that the papers were being
drawn up last night for the abandonment
of the contract.

Joe ElIingsworth i'm jail.

AS the HERALD stated yesterday, the
person for whom the fourth indictment
was out Friday night was Joe Ellings-
worth, the pug whom Kelliher whipped
the other day. The Sheriff's men spotted
him at Santa Monica, in the maison de
joie of that pleasant resort, and kept
watch Of the place all night. Yesterday
morning, shortly after the peep O. day,
the festive Joe came out and got into a
buggy which had been driven up to the
door, and was about to drive away,
when the officers served the writ on
him. He at once gave himself up,
quietly, and in due time was lodged in
Jail, where he now awaits his examina-
ton on the charge of committing a
felonious assault on the person of Virgie
Hsrcourt. 1t is alleged, as the HERALD
stated, that on Thursday, August 22d,
he drove her to Lamanda park, and then
attempted to drug and rape the girl, but
failed of his purpose. It is of course a
little queer that the same girl should be
the victim of two such assaults in the
course of twenty.four hours. The story,
however, may be true.

A SuggesttOn.

EDITORS HERALD-Now that the school
bonds have been voted, there will be a
location to select to build the High
School on, and as there are such serious
objections to its being put on CASTELAR,
street, on account of it's inaccessibility
and adjoining the graveyard, will sug-
gest that the Board Of Education investi-
gate the block of ground between Bunker
Hill avenue and Grand avenue, fronting
on Second street, right in the center Of
the city, easy of access by cable roads
from all parts of the city, commanding
the finest view in all directions of any
spot that can be selected in the city, and
location that all will be pleased with.
The ground fronts on three fine streets,
which will give three fronts to the build
ing, and fine school building on that
location will be an ornament to the city,
and if the School Board can get it at q
price to jrstify it, hope they will locate
it there. Perhaps they might exchange
other property in part for it.
