A melodrama of the most stirring
kind was being given at a thcater in q
small provincial town. In one of the
critical scenes the hero suddenly be-
came aware of the fact that he had
come upon the stage minus his poniard
Without moments hesitation he made
dash at the traitor, exclaiming: 'Die,
villain! meant to strike thee with
my dagger, but left the weapon in
my dressing-roon, and will, therefore,
strangle thee in the presence of this in
duigent audiencer" -London Tid-Bits.

A GROWING PASSION.
The Almost Universal Love for Floral
Beauties.

The ALMOST universal Love 1Ox FLORAL
Beauties.
Time was when an admiration for
sposies" and desire to wear or culti-
vate them were looked upon by GER
tain class of men as an evidence of
weakness or effeminacy.
There are, no doubt. even now rare
cases in which all Of these garden beau
ties are called weeds, and the front
dooryard is thought to be much better
occupied when adorned with the wood
pile, divers and sundry farm imple-
ments, roots crops for stock or the vari-
Gus vegetables usually found in the
kitchen-garden. One practical farmer
sowed oats up to his very doorsteps;
another thought that white beans were
much more sensible than them weeds
as he called flowers of all sorts.
These garden beauties, the few that
his wife and daughters managed to get
from the neighbors and interested
friends, were made short work of by
this short-sighted farmer, who shipped
off their heads with scythe or amused
himself by cracking his whip at them
and whipping off the blossoms as fast
as they appeared. But with our higher
education we have rooted out the most
of this unworthy estimate, and almost
all farmers, even the most obtuse. are
beginning to recognize the commercial
value of members of the floral king
dom. Possibly the pin-money that the
wives and children collect during the
summer and which ekes out many a
small income has had something to do
with this change in sentiment.
The love of flowers is becoming al
most universal passion, and it is with
the keenest pleasure that the student
of human nature observes pots of
plants in all locations where even bit
of sunshine can be found for them.
Even on the north side of some of the
large buildings there are plants that
their owners seem determined to coax
into luxuriance. They are carefully
trained and looked after and bear the
marks of intelligent and interested at
tention. One may go through certain
quarters of our large cities and see
more than half of the windows filed
with blooming plants of various sorts
or with those that furnish an endless
greenery that is as refreshing to the
eye as it is suggestive to the mind OF
the observer and refining to the taste
of the inmates Of the dwelling.
The extravagantly high prices at
which flowers are held during the win
ter practically shuts out from the pos
session of them many persons who love
them best and who are most benefited
by them.-N. Y. Ledger.

FlshIns Dogs.

At certain point all the men and

At concerted signal the dogs were
started from their respective points,

sharp cry from all the Anus the right
column wheeled left and the left col

each column met Then at another
signal all of them swan in line toward
the shore, advancing more and more in
crescentic formation. As they neared
the shore, increasing numbers Of fish
appeared in the shallow water, fright

advancing column of dogs, which, as
soon as their feet touched bottom,
pounced upon the fishes as quick as .

fish which they had seized to their
masters, who cut on the heads and gave
each dog the head which belonged to
him as his share Of the catch. The dog
which caught nothing got nothing. I

CURIOUS MATTERS.
Some Of the Inscriptions Found ON Chi

Some Of the Inscriptions Found ON Chi
nese Coins.
The inscriptions on Chinese coins,
like those on their tapestries, porce-
lains and other artistic productions,
are always quaint, curious, and char
acteristic. A gold coin issued by the
Chinese government during the reign
of WI Tsung had upon its face the in
scription True virtue current money. |"
A bronze piece issued during the sew
enteenth century by Chwang Leih III
bears the words: Highest purity, cur
rency money" The coin issued by
Tsung from 1851 to 1862 bore the words,
prevailing prosperity the larger,
also, Large money" and on the re-
verse 'value 100 times, meaning that
their value was one hundred cash.
A bronze piece issued during the
same period bears the words: Always
bright" Another piece of the same
reign has upon its face: Pre-
vailing prosperity, heavy money"
The brass cash Of the present en-
peror Of China bears the words. Bright
beginning, current money, and on the
reverse, Treasury weight, one mace, y
and the name of the mint at which it
was coined. The Korean coinage,
which resembles the Chinese cash in
many particulars in its inscriptions,
bears the inscriptions, always peace
full, current money!" and on the
reverse, .All four" which means that
the coin should be good in all four di-
rections of the country. Another set
of coins issued at the same mint in
Seoul, Korea, Is inscribed, Great
East" one of the names given to
Korea, as the great country east Of
China Another word of character up.
on coin indicates gate which prob.
ably means that the coin is to go out
for circulation among the people.
Still another coin bears the words:
Great gate value of one hundred"
In Japan the coins bear various in
scriptions, some after the manner Of
Chinese coins. Some of the older ones,
which were coined two or three CEN
turtles ago, bear the words: "For
Heavenly protection" and upon the
reverse, Current money"-C Collector.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16. "A special to the
Press from Tallahassee says that when
Mr.. Bowden visited the governor the
latter showed no evidence of ill-tem-
per, but told Mr.. Bowden that
the people of the state of Florida
did not want the fight. Duval count y

only portion of the state. He was
governor OF Florida, and needed no
board of arbitration to instruct him as
to his duties. The governor. Attorney

governor. ''how FOOLISH

When asked later whether he in
tended to proclaim martial law in Duval

there was no necessity for it.

Big Billiards.

Henry Sampson did a piece of work
in billiards Monday afternoon at Min
neapoliS, in Peterson's billiard hall,
while playing with Frank Thayer, that
is the most remarkable achievement
ever accomplished by any amateur.
Thayer informed GLOBE reporter
yesterday Of the facts. He said: "Samp-
son and were playing together at Pc
terson's Monday afternoon. Sampson
made so many billiards that began to
get fairly disguised. All at once Samp-
son got the anchor nurse, and began
making great run. We kept the rec
ord at first, but finally we agreed that
he must have at least made 10. From
then on we kept an accurate account.
10 our amazement Sampson kept right
along until he rolled up, including the
estimated 10, the phenomenal run of
S52l or, excluding that. of S42 points.
This seems pretty big, admit, but both
Sampson and myself will willingly
make an affidavit If there is any one
who doubts the truth. He never moved

The presidents message communicat
ing the recent diplomatic correspond

showed, by quoting from the Hawaiian
constitution, that the queen. in her re-

amnesty to the members of the prOvis-
ional government, was only conhning
herself to the limitations of the cOnsti-
tuition, which does not confer on the
crown such absolute right OF granting
amnesty, but requires that pardon can
be granted only by the concurrence of
the cabinet and other constitutional
officers.

Daniel Dem., Va.) made some peril

Rates to the FIGHT.

CINCINNATI. Jan. 16.-News was re-
ceived here today that General Passen-
ger Agent Lockwood. of the Kansas
City, Fort Scott 81 Gulf railroad, had
announced round-trip rate of $50 from
Kansas City to jacksonville for the
Corbett- Mitchell fight. General Passen-
ger Agent Townsend, of the Missouri
Pacific, promptly met this rate. The
Queen Il Crescent is the principal South
ern line that has not reduced its
rate. The Southern Passenger associa-
ton has cast irom rules against rate cut
ting. Railroad men here believe the
Queen 81 Crescent will tomorrow fall in
line with the rate cutters, and thus
leave no roads to enforce the penalty
against cutting rates.

The Adjutaat General Has Planned
to Cover Every Point Which
Might Be Available. and His
Men Can Be Depended Upon
The Public Are Motif ed to Stay
Away.
TALLAHASSEE. Fla. Jan. 16.-If Gov.
Mitchell has any intention of abandon
ing his fight against the Duval Athletic
club he doesn't show any signs of it.
On the contrary, he is more determined
than ever. and what is more, he has laid
plans which he says cannot fail. When
approached today he said:
You can announce that Pm going to
prevent this prize fight, for that's what
it is, matter how many other terms
are applied to it."
But it is limited that the Jacksonville
militia has declined to aid you," was
suggested.
That is not true" said the governor
sharply. but if they did happen to so
decline it would not affect my plans in
the slightest degree. Pm going to pre-
vent that fight, and that's all there is
about it. CorDelt and Mitchell cannot
fight in this state"
Have you read that the club has
several other plans in view if Jackson
Vile is abandOnedH" was asked.
IL have" said Gov. Mitchell, land |
repeat most emphatically that the fight
shall be prevented in the state of Flor
ida: l grant you that they may sneak
off in the woods somewhere and have it
cut. but l. don't see how even this can
be done. l shall not call upon the Jack
sonville militia. Some of them are in
favor of the tight, and have friends who
are interested"
Then You will employ the militia of
some other point Of the State?"
'a1 on may draw your own conclusion.
The adjutant general has planned to
cover every point which might be ayaila-
bic. and his men are men who may be
depended upon. l am prepared i'll any
event.
Now, then, said the governor in con-
clusioD. Il think | have made myself
plain. If anybody comes To Florida to
sea a fight and doesn't see one, after
spending time and money. he can only
blame himself. There will. | repeat
once more, be no prize fight here
The adjutant general would say moth
ing of MS plans further than that the
fight would surely be prevented.

BONDS FOR PENSIONERS.
A Novel Bill to Be introduced
Into the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Representa-
tive Sibley Dem., Pa.) has prepared a
bill to pay pensions in new issue of 2
percent bonds. He proposes to offer it
to the house in case bill is presented
for a general issue of bonds. Mr.. Sib-
ley's bill is designed to give pensioners
the benefits usually accruing from
bonds, and also to give the government
ready means of meeting pension OBJ
legations. His plan is to make the bonds
in denominations of $50 up to 500. and
to make them legal tender. except for
customs dues. This would allow them
to circulate as paper currency. His
plan c0ntemplates the issue of such
bonds until the amount reaches $50 per
capita for the population of the country.
Mr.. Sibley intends to suggest his plan
to Secretary Carlisle, and In any event
to offer it as an amendment to the gen.
eral bond proposition if one comes be-
fore the house.
