HOW WAS BANKER DITMAN KILLED,

A Question Involving tho Payment of Sew
ernl Accident Insurance Policies.
The coroner's physician made post-mor-
tenn examination OF the swollen and decom-
posed body OF Joseph G.. Ditman, which was
found floating In the schuykul river, forty
six days after his mysterious disappearance.
The examination was for the purpose OF de-
termIning whether death was caused by
drowning or by fracture OF the skull. The
relatives OF Mr.. Ditman do not believe that
he committed suicide. Their theory ~ that
Mr.. Ditman's horse ran away while he was
driving along the river bank. that he was
pitched head foremost out OF the buggy, his
head striking the stone coping at the waters
edge, and that he was thus either killed or
rendered unconscious he lay in the water.
The question OF insurance is another I'M
portant ono. Mr.. Ditman carried accident
Insurance 20 the amount OF $4,000. When
the family claims the money IL Is expected
that the insurance companies will object on
the grounds that death may have been sui
eide and that IL cannot be proved that there
was an accident. In addition to the $4,000
accident insurance Mr.. Ditman carried sl40-
600 life insurance, which must be paid To the
family. The question OF suicide Is not like
~ TO be raised In this case.

Ntoiets and gansies.
To grow violets or pansies outside OF
a greenhouse Is considered by practical
gardeners one of the easiest things TO
perform. Many florists keep them IN
cold frames exclusively as they have
not room for them in the greenhouse,
unless a house is built on purpose for
them. They may be grown IN pots, as
window plants, provided plenty OF air
can be given on sunny days and steady
temperature. between 30 and % degrees,
can he kept up. If kept in too high an
artificial temperature they will not
flower much, but will make up in red
spider what they lack in blossom. A
geranium. n carllation, and a monthly
rose may be wintered and lowered at a
low temperature il plenty OF sunlight
prevails.
The violet wants TO be kept cool at
all times if il is expected that IL will
fulfill its mission. All this does not inn
ply that the temperature OF "A violet
house or flame should never be
allowed TO run up 10 90 degrees,
because sometimes the heat in
the DAYTIME is not always under con-
troll. The sun may sometimes make
the atmosphere under glass warmer
than the gardner would like TO have il,
but to raise the sash only one inch
would let the frost in and do more dam
age than the heat. In such n case
little too high temperature Is the lesser
evil.
A good place TO grow violets or pam
sizes may be constructed at the south
side Of dwelling. Dig n pit two feet
deep along the house. Into this put
stout frame 20 receive common hot-bed
sash, tine sash 10 lean against the build
ing. Tear down the wall that separates
the frame from the cellar under the
house, and put row of windows in it's
place. The idea of this is that the
natural heat in the cellar shall keep
your frame at steady temperature
At the same time you may work over
your flowers, no matter what the out
side weather may be. Nnd when no air
can be given from the outside il may
be done indirectly inside. When the
outside sash is open the inside may be
shut. Thus the sun Will warm up the
cellar, and perhaps store little heat
! for tho night.
