RASPBERRIES.

There has been no such change in
the list of raspberries as with straw
berries. Nearly the same varieties
stand at the head of the list as held that
position five years ago. OF the black
caps the best that can be named are
Tyler, Ohio, Hilborn and Gregg, given
in the order of earliness. The Palmer
is much like the Tyler perhaps being
an improvement in vigor and produc-
tiveness. The best of the red sorts are
Marlboro, Shaffer, Reliance and Cuth-
bert. The best for home use Of the
whole list is the Shaffer. A variety
called the Muskingum resembles the
Shaffer and is superior to it for market
purposes, being frmer, but is no better
for home use. Neither the Reliance
nor Cuthbert succeed in all localities,
but where they are at home are very
profitable. The Cuthbert is the latest
of the reds, and the turner the earliest
of those named. Thompson's Early
Pride, a variety not fully tested, is very
early and quite promising.

BLACKBERRIES.

The best that can be named are Sny-
der, Taylor, Agawan, Ancient Briton
and Erie. Snyder and Ancient Briton
are the hardest, hence the most relia-s
bic of those named. Taylor and Erie
are larger but less hardy. Agawan is
the sweetest one on the list. Some call
it insipid while many prefer it to any
other variety.

FAILED In HIS ATTEMPT
A BOLD ROBBERY PLANNED IN A
CHICAGO HOTEL.

A Guost Sends for a Jeweler TO Send Him
Diamonds for Examination and Then At
tacks the Clerk I'm His Room-The Rob-
Der Behind the Bars.
Chicago dispatch: The other day Hy-
man, Berg & Co, jewellers and diamond
dealers at 1877 State street, received the
following letter:
"Hyman, Berg & Co.-Gcntlemen:
Please send. for my inspection, to room
649 In the Palmer house. several dia-
mond rings and pins. Do not send very
high priced stones, as i do not want to
pay more than S125 for the ring and $65
for the pin. fell down and sprained
my ankle last night, and so am unable
to visit your store. i am In hurry, as
will leave for Louisville tonight IL
am able to ride In cab. Very respect
fully, RALPH ALLEN"
The firm telephoned to the Palmer
house to find out what was known there
OF Mr.. Allen. The reply came back
that nothing was known of him except
that such person was occupying the
room mentioned to which he had been
assigned three days before, without CIV
ing his residence.
William A. Bigler, a salesman for the
firm, was sent to Aliens room with a
package of diamonds worth nearly
81 500 in his pocket. He also took with
him to the room Louis Perret, one OF
the hotel porters. and stationed him
just outside the door. Allen was in his
room bathing in warm water the foot
he said he had injured. Negotiations
for the diamonds were short. Allen
picked cut ring worth sos and pin
worth S125.
''Bundle the rest OF them up while l
get the money! said Allen, as he drew
the bare foot out of the water and hob
bled around back of Bigler and bent
down to take something from under the
mattress on the bed. The salesman was
about to look behind him, for he had
been suspicious all the while, when he
was half stunned by a terrific blow on the
head. He got upon his feet and faced
his assaiant ia time to partly ward of
the next blow. But the heavy cane in
Aliens hand, after breaking on Bigler's
arm, descended with force enough to cut
a wound two inches long in the scalp.
The wounded man screamed, and AL
Zen, without stopping to grab the pack
age of diamonds, rushed out of the room
and down the hallway. Perret, the
porter, followed, but lost the feet-footed
robber in a blind passage way. Cecil
Gregg, the time-keeper, saw the thief go
into a room on the fifth floor that hap
pened TO be unlocked, and, following him
in, found him under the bed. He was
quickly pulled out and taken to the
armory.
Allen is about feet inches in
height, thick-set, dark-complexioned
with a short, stubby black mustache
and black hair, worn pompadour. From
what papers were found in his satchel
he seems to have been lately In Phila-
delphia and Washington. He would say
nothing of his identity or his past. OF
his present trouble he said: "Before
God this is my first offense against the
laws. This is the first time have ever
been guilty OF crime. am willing to
plead guilty and go to prison, but am not
willing to tell my true name and bring
disgrace on my poor mother and father"

TIE OLD FLORIDA BOYS.
One of Them Writes of the Patriotism
of the Past.


CHESTER, FLA. Nav 21.-While this is a
period Of important discoveries and wonder
full inventions, 1t will likewise be memora-
BILE for many combinations for progress
sive and protective interest. We find it in
leagues, unions, trusts and alliances. and, as
an old soldier of the government, we feel az
lberty to say that the same spirit of finan-
cial advancement pervades the organization
called the Grand Army of the Republic. Ii
Is composed Of the youngest soldiers Of the
union in the war of secession twenty or
thirty years ago, and is urging millions and
hundreds of millions in various forms of
pensions. while we who fou sht for the ac-
QUESTION of territory forty or fifty years
ago appear to be ignored by the powers at
Washington. This individual needs no
pension and merely refers to it as an in
stance of a nations ingratltude TO her old
Florida soldiers that enforced her ultimatum
long time ago. which was the deportation
OF the red race from its native soil. This
brave and warlike race yielded to the in
domitable white man, with grief and sor
row, the land that was held dear to his
heart And while invading the wilds of
Florida, where the imprint of civilization
had never been seen, through rocky glens,
gloomy swamps and dreary glades, the
proud starry banner waved in the advance
anu WIS never liflpTeSudteu Win OQOrlIer-
Gus flowers by trailing upon Florida soil.
Pensions should be for the MANNED and the
decrepit For the other class, it de1rades
their manhood, kills their energy,
destroys their usefulness, aud renders
life unhappy by filling their souls with
doleful reflections that they are poor, ven
cradle, dependent bene6ciarles, taking their
final march into the awful futuritY Would
il not have been a wise policy and economy
if the government had given these fellows
transportation to Florida, where the smell
of sweet flowers and the rejuvenating in
fluence of the soft, balmy, South Atlantic
breezes would have made them self
sustaining like the old Florida boys that
fought for territory forty or fifty years
ago, and had never been any care or ex-
pense to the government!
Indeed, should warclouds now be gather
ing in the distance, and the electric flashes
heralding the coming conflict, and thunder
ing appeals calling the nation to arms, the
old Florida boys would respond with an
alacrity that would surprise the young PEN
sioners. They would not wait for big
bounJies, state or national. or fine bands of
martial music playing national airs to slim
ulate their patriotism. And it would be for
eign to their natures to organize into a big
G. A. K. to drain the government of her
little surplus, and compel her to exact high
import duties upon articles we need, and
which, after all, come out of the pockets of
the poor people. The old Florida boys are
the boys to fight FOR territory

A SAD STORY.
Pitiable Ending of One of Stephen
Girard'S Niece5.

Pitiable Ending of One of Stephen
Girard's Nieces.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1910 be an heires5
to millions, to live for seventy-fve dreary
years in poverty, dependent upon the kind
ness of friends for mere existence, and to
finally die in garnet, early yesterday
morning, at No. 9 North Eleventh street,
without dollar IN her possession, was the
fate of Henriette Girard, niece of Stephen
Girard, the founder of the celebrated college
which bears his maine.
For the last three years the dead woman
had been involved in litigation with her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Girard, of No. ZOOS
Green street, who, she claimed, was in pos
session of the vast fortune to which she was
entitled. Hsnriette Girard came TO this
country three years ago to bring suit
against the Mrs. Girard living on Green
street. and retained lawyers for the pur-
pose, but she exhausted the few dollars she
had. and died, it is said, of a broken heart.
Henriette Girard, together with sister
now living in Paris, and a brother August,
who died some years ago, were joint heirs
to property left them under the will of a
Mrs Viddell, who was member of the
Girard family, and who died in this city.
The property was varlously estimated in
value at from IS. 000, 900 to l0,010,000. At
the time of Mrs VIddell's death the heirs to
her property were ali residents of Paris.
Under the provisions of the will the heirs
were not to come in possession OF the
property until they were of age August
Girard, having already attained his
majority at the time of Mrs. Viddell's
death. came to this country at once, and
after a short time gained possession Of his
share of the dead woman's vass wealth and
properties Both his sisters, whose shares
In the estate were equal with his own, were
mere girls, and August Girard was
appointed by the court as executor until
they attained their majority.
Not long after the acquisition OF the
money August Girard was married. and,
although his sisters, who continued to live
in Paris, had attained their majority, he
made no effort to put them in possession Of
their money. Finally August Girard died,
and it was thought by the two sisters that
with his death would come settlement Of
the case. -, :,
But when the will was probated it showed
that all the property left by Mrs Viddell
was left to his widow, the two sisters being
not only entirely ignored. but the property
to which trey claimed they were entitled
being mentioned in their brothers will as
being his own.

LOVE AND GREEN BOTTLES.
Curiosity Cast Upon the Waters Re-

Curiosity Cast Upon the Waters Re-
turns in the Shape of a Marriage
Proposal.
Louisville Special to the Boston Globe.
That truth is stranger than fiction was
never better shown than by the romantic
marriage last night Of Miss Stella Adams
of Madison, Ind. and Lewis F. Rivaud of
this city.
Six years ago party of four young girls
were strolling along the banks OF the Ohio
river at Pleasant Ridge, six miles above
Madison. The river was then at the high
est stage ever known, and it's rolling grand
eur was the very inspiration of romance
IN the hearts of the four maidens. They
resolved, as they watched the turbulent
water, that they would, each and every
one, write a note, seal it up in bottle, and
cast 1t in the sire m. Each maiden wrote
a note without letting her fellow romancers
know what it contained.
Of course they all penned the letter with
the main idea of catching husband, and
Miss Stella Adams wrote the following:
FEB, "a, 1884,
I am down taking a view of the river to-day.
write this letter co see how far it will 90, and
the one that finds this letter will please let me
know where they found 1t.

Please let me know when you found this bottle,
and where.

hiss Adams was not 10 st that time. She
was only IA, but as 16 seemed the most
romantic she gave that charming age She
folded the note carefully, and, placing it in
bottle, threw it far out into the water.
On March 10, seventeen days later, Louis
B. Rivaud, II years of age, was strolling
along the river bank, some little distance
below the head of the canal in this city.
He espied green object bobbing up and
down in the water He drew it to the shore
and found it was bottle. He opened it
and read the note. Then, being also Of a
romantic turn of mind, he resolved to
answer the note. He did so, and in return
received q note as tender as his own.
Pictures were exchanged and correspond
e1ce followed for two years. Then the
young people began to write less and less
frequently, and finally, for no reason than
mat the romance of the affair had begun to
cooi, the correspondence ceased altogether.
ontl April 4 last the young lovers heard
notning of each other. Then young Rivaud
received letter from a young man a.
M6dison, who stated that he was in love
A.H NAAss ADAMS, ana tnaJ ne WaTteu Her
picture, which she had said he could have
u Rlvaud would send it to him Then
hvaud's love was aroused by Jealousy, and
ne opened the correspondence once more
with The heroine of the floating bottle. The
ietOers grew more warm in their tone, and
nnally few weeks ago Rivauo visited his
lady love at her home. A few more visits,
ana then an engagement. The sequel of
tne affair was consummated by their mar
rage at the brides home at Pleasant Ridge
yesterday afternoon.
