Trees In London.

According to Viscount Huntington,
there are some 1900 thriving trees
within the city boundaries. OF these
the most vigorous as well rs the com.
monest is the plane tree, or syca-
more, which stands smoke better
than other trees. There are over 500
plane trees in the city. Next comes
the lime tree, which supplies more
than 200 specimens. Then we have
much the same proportion of balsam,
black and other popular trees. Next
in order are various kinds of thorn,
of which there are some 60 or more,
and finally there + a few samples
of other trees that do not flourish to
any great extent in the bad air of
crowded towns. London Graphic.

JUMPED FROM THE TRAIN.

Deputy Marshal Henry Frey of
Chickasha working for the, Ardmore
court, had little unpleasant official
experience yesterday while enroute
here with Henry Samons, a prisoner
charged with larceny. When near
Daugherty the prisoner asked per-
mission to go to the water closet.
He went in while Mr.. Frey siUod at
the door. After waiting a consider
able time the officer opened the door
only to find the window up and the
prisoner gone. The train was ruu-
ming at a good rate of speed and in
all probability the fugitive was con-
siderably damaged. Mr.. Frey is very
much worked up over the affair as
he had gone to an expense OF about
thirty dollars in making the arrest
and making up the case, which he
will lose if he fails to arrest his man.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The house this week will continue
to consider appropriation bills.
Senator Lindsay predicts that the
pending tariff bill will pass the senate
in week.
1t is believed that Republican SEN
ators will cease fighting tor delay
when they are assured that the DEM
ocrats are united on the pending
tariff bill. Secretary Carlisle, in dis
cussing the proposed amendments to
the tariff bill, says they are unim-
portant, and that concessions should
be made in the interest of party
harmony.

the afternoon he enquired at bosi

square for work and he was told that
they had no work for him but that il
he really wanted to labor he could
get something to do. The COxeyite
denied this, when the man to whom
he was talking told him that il he
would get eighteen corn cobs, lay
them down on one side of the street
and carry them across the street two
at tine for the rest of the day he
would pay him for it.
This the man proceeded to do and
had attracted large crowd by his
