JAPANESE GARDENS.

During a great part Of the year the gar
dens of t-ea-houses and temples nave but few
blooms-they are only an arrangement of
greens a-ndHgTaYs-but in the spring no
amount of clipping and training can prevent
the shrubs from blossoming. The cherry
trees and magnolias are let grow as they
choose, but the others are trimmed into more
or less formal shapes, considered suitable to
the species. or helping the carefully studied
arrangement of forms, which is the ideal of
a japanese gardener. There are no beds for
flowers. In the little ponds the irises and
lotus bloom, and in odd corners there may
be clumps Of lilies, chrysanthemums, or other
plants. but these are mere accidents-the de-
signer's aim is a composition of rocks,
shrubs, stone lanterns, ponds. and bridges
which will look the same i'll its general feat
ures all the year round, and conform to
established rules. One of my Japanese
friends told me, as an instance of the com
plexity of the landscape gardeners art, that
If a certain shrub were used 1T would be
necessary to place near it a stone from Toss,
the distant province where it commonly
grows. The decorative garden is quite dis
tinct from the flower garden, where the fine
varieties of iris, peony, and chrysanthemum,
for which Japan is famous, are grown by
professional florists, or by rich amateurs
who can devote a special place to their
culture.-Hdfper's Magazine for June.

Quiet at McKeesport.

MCKEEsPoRT, Pa, june Z, 1S9s.-But few
strikers are to be seen in the vicinity of the
huge plant of the National Tube Works
Company this morning. The continued
excitement of the past ~forty-eight hours
has exhausted the majority of the men
and they have retired to their homes for
rest. All night long the men guarded every
entrance to the works for the purpose of in
tercepting deputies or outsiders who
might be coming here to aid the tube
works in starting up. This was unnecessary,
however, as the company has not asked for
deputies. A United Press reporter this
morning called on Mr.. Edwin c. Converse,
vice president and general manager of the
National Tube Works Company and asked
him as to the future policy of the company.
Mr.. Converse said:-"The policy of the com
pany at the present time is one of mastery
inactivity. We are not going to try to start
up the works at present. The men now
guarding our works for the purpose of keep
ing deputies away, might as well buy lawn
tennis bats and go enjoy themselves.
We will not bring deputies or outsiders
here to run our plant. We do not var to
cause terrorism in McKeesport. We have
shown the men that the compan could make
no money if an advance in wages was
granted. In fact, owing to the depressed
condition of trade, there is as much money
for us in the works lying idle as if they were
running.n

CLEVER sWINDLBR TRAPPED.

The police of this city have been looking
during the past few weeks for a swindler
who has been going about the city guised as
a matchmaker and clock repairer, but who,
i'll reality, is a sneak thief. Yesterday the
chap visited G~reenville, and no doubt
thought he would have an easy thing of it
among the farmers of the celery district.
He visited Charles Baier's saloon, at Dan
forth avenue and Old Bergen Road. and
while Mr.. Baier went upstairs for a clock
which he wanted repaired, the thief went
behind the bar and emptied the till. Mr..
Baier caught him in the act and lad him ar
rested. He registered as Joseph Hyman,
twenty-four years old, of No. % Norfolk
street, New York. He was arraigned be.
fore Justice Douglass, at the Third Criminal

Der of other complaints against him.

MADDBNED BY HIS Wife
Found Her Out Walking With
Another Man-Shot Her,
Then Himself.

Last night about eleven o'clock, when Eli
Duret was returning to his home on Durham
avenue near the Boulevard, West Hoboken,
he met his wife coming along the street with
another nan Duret, who was under the
influence of liquor, drew a revolver and
threatened to shoot both, but before he could
put the threat into execution, the man lodged
behind a tree and disappeared. Duret did
not attempt to follow his wife's lover, but
turning to his u%nfaithful spouse, told her to
say her prayers, as he was going to
kill her. She did not wait to call upon the
Lord for help, out took to her heels in al
opposite direction from that taken by her
gallant lover. Duret staggered after her,
shooting as he ran, put not until he had fired
five shots did be hit her. The fifth shot
struck her in the head and she fell to the
ground. AS soon as she fell Duret cried:-
"Ohl my God, what have / doneF'
THEN SHoT HIMSELF.
He then turned the pistol upon himself
and emptied one of the cartridges into his
forehead. He fell about ten or twelve feet
from where his wife was lying. 1t was
men discovered them. They looked for a
West Hoboken policeman, but, not being
able to find any, they called upon Policeman
Rockford of the Sixth precinct police, Jersey
City, who was patroling his beat on the
Boulevard, just this side of the West
Hoboken line. Rockford sent in a
call for the patrol wagon, but be-
fore it arrived the West Hoboken authori-
ties had heard of it, and Sergeant Usher and
an officer were sent to the scene. They
called up a Christ Hospital ambulance and
sent the man there, as be appeared to be
mortally wounded. The woman was taken
home, as her injury was only a light scalp
wound.
DURET MAY RECOVER.
1t was thought that Duret would die at
one time during the night, but this morning
the hospital authorities say he is doing
nicely and will pull through.
The name of the woman's paramour could
not be ascertained. 1t is said that Duret
and his wife ouarrelled about a month ago
and that they had not lived together since.

Ladies' Tailor Gowns
The tailor costume is exceedingly popular
this season. These gowns are worn every
where in town, in the country and even at
the seashore and in the mountains. They are
made in every kind of material;-Light
woolens, serge. duck, %ginghams, and foul
ards. This prevailing fashion calls for a
great variety of models n every style Of
French and English coats are brought into
requisition. As for the skirts, although their
simplicity IS always adhered TO, IN accord
ance with the severe tailor system of dress
ing. they, nevertheless, exhibit a diversity of
STYLES. The fact is a well exemplitied in the
latest Mcdowell Fashion Magazines, which
contain, beside several pretty and very prac-
teal models, the patterns of which can be
secured by means Of coupons at exceedingly
moderate prices. These coupons form an
attractive monthly feature in the Mcdowell
Magazines, for they enable one to secure the
patterns of the newest and most correct
fashions. La Mode de Parts and Paris
Album of Fashion, The French Dressnaker
and La Mode are u~nequalled as family
Journals.

RoBBING A SIS. COMPANY.

The natives at Colon and Panama were
lately discovered in a fairly sharp scheme to
rob the steamship company. The transfer
of bales and packages of India rubber over
the Isthmus is always large in volume after
the arrival of steamers from Peru and
local receipts from within a few miles of
Colon. These, piled on the docks, make a
large aggregate, and at a favorable oppor-
tunity a bale or two would be dropped over
board, and as rubber naturally will float, it
was comparatively an easy matter to pilot
the booty to a point whence it could be
readily landed, and disposed of bya fence"
AS a bale weighs from one hundred to two
hundred pounds, the haul was a good one to
the native. The loss could not be discov-
cred until after the teamer reached New
York, and it bothered American detectives
for months, until the LEAH was finally To-
ated.-Haydlvare.

ALL HAD SMALLPOX,
An Italian Mother and Her Children
Driven Out of Jersey City.


Driven Out of Jersey City.
Last night an Italian brought his wife and
three children to this city. The four were
suffering from smallpox. The condition of
the people attracted the attention of Carl
Hampe of Beacon and Palisade avenues. He
knew that they had smallpox andlost no time
in reporting the matter to the Health Off
Gals. They were traced from the ferry to the
Italian dNarter. They we're driven away
from there by their fellow countrymen. The
family sought refuge, it is said, over night
in an %unoccupied building on the Heights.
They made an early start and succeeded in
evading Health Officer Miller, who was after
them.
Miller went to New York this morning,
and with the assistance of DR.. Benedict of
the New York Board of Health, succeeded
in locating the Italians at No. 81 James
street. The mother at first denied having
any children, but when DR.. Benedict threat
ened to burn her belongings and send her
away, she cried for the children.
She climbed out on a fire escape
went into an adjoining house and soon re-
turned with the children. The whole family
was taken in charge by the proper author
tiles.
The Italian was employed as a street
sweeper in New York.

RED LIGHT AND SMALLPOX.

The daily papers report the discovery by
DR.. Neils Finsen, q Danish physician, of a
favorable effect exerted by red light on
patients suffering from smallpox. DR.. Finsen
has constructed a smallpox hospital, in
which only red light is admitted into the
sick rooms. 1t is alleged that the effect of
the red light is to do away with the danger
Gus and painful su%ppuration, the e~xanthema
drying up and falling off without leaving
these claims, the effect must evidently be
due to the removal Of the more ~refrangible
rays, since the red rays are present in full
proportion in ordinary sunlight. Skepticism
in the matter, however, is quite pardonable,
until further details are forthcoming

If taxation of church property ever be-

when religion has lost its truth and charm

then the privilege of exemption will be sim

OIL N GAS STOVES.

Oil and gas stoves, while coming in com
petition with the oid-time coal stove, have
had no effect upon the sales of the latter.
This is somewhat remarkable, but the his
tory of a great man improvements in
civilization is like it. The gas or oil stove is
simply an accessory to the range and the or
binary stove. The family that have one of
the fo1 mer lave always one of the latter.
The demand, therefore. for the coal stove
does not necessarily decrease. The demand
for o cheap stove. however, is comparatively
better than for the more expensive sorts.

MONEY FOR THE SCHOOLS.

The Finance Committee of the Board of
Education held a meeting last night, and
talked over the amount they thought
would be needed to run the schools
next year. They think they will need about
$40, 900 more, as there are about twenty-five
thirty new teachers to be appointed and
two new principals. 1t is said that there
will be at the opening of the schools next
at least 1000 more children than there
were at this seasons opening.
