CONS Denial Of amy Impropriety.
CANNES, Feb. %. : Mrs. E. P. Deacon
fatty denied, at the hearing yesterday, that
she was guilty Of any impropriety with
M. Abeille, whom Deacon killed in her
bed chamber. Deacon's story is as follows :
"On the I'd of last January my wife left
Paris for Cannes, telling me she would
break the journey at Marseilles, stopping
at the Terminus hotel The children left
on the evening train in charge of the
nurse, and they were to meet my wife at
the Marseilles station. Instead of this, my
wife sent the children to the Terminus,
while she went to the Hotel du Louvre,
where she stopped two days with NJ.
AbeilIe. This I know to be a fact, because
the children told me that 'Gateau' had
been there. They called him Gateau, be-
cause he gave them lots of cake.
''On the fatal night I knocked at nv
wife's door obtained admittance and shot
black head just above the sofa. 1 fired,
but missed the bullet entering the sofa.
Then, expecting he would rise and close
with me, 1 rushed upon him, but he never
attempted to move. When 1 fired the
third chamber I got hold of him and pulled
him out. You never saw such a pitiable,
contemplate object He looked like
wounded rat. He has small eyes, such as
rats have.
"When the police came l took them into
NJ. Abeille's room and commanded my
wife to go, also pointing my revolver at
her head. 1 called the attention Of the
police to the condition of Abeille's clothes,
he being only partially dressed, his sus-
penders hanging down. Then took the
police into my wife's room and showed
them her bed. Then I gave myself up"

About a National Flower.

There is very little use in talking about
an American national flower. We are
not q nation, no matter how many big
Ms we may put to the word, in the sense
that Englishmen and Frenchmen consti-
tute nation. What is typical in one
section Of our continental republic is
not typical in another, and an emblem
which might mean great deal in New
England or New York would have but
an artificial significance in Louisiana or
California. State flowers we might
have, and TO some extent we do have
them. California has formally adopted
the Eschscholtzia, ior California poppy,
rs its emblem. Maine men wear pine
branch when they want to indicate what
state they have come from.
Our Massachusetts flower is naturally
the trailing arbutus, and that ought to
be formally adopted as our emblem. At
the Grand Army encampment nearly
every state delegation wore something
which was characteristic of the state.
We comprehend ourselves better if we
divide ourselves up by forty-four, and
there are enough plants and flowers to
go around. Boston Transcript.
