The Gardeners Chronicle calls atten-
tion to a new race of roses which has
been introduced by some Paris growers.
They belong TO the Polyantha group
that is to say, they bear their flowers in
trusses. The new roses have the advan-
tage over the others of being "perpet-
ual, 4" and consequently they flower con-
tinuously all through the summer. This
advantage they owe to their origin, a
natural cross (croisement naturel), OBJ
served in the Lyons gardens, between
the flowers of the first specimens of
Polyantha introduced from Japan and
some hybrid perpetual roses. BY repeat
ed and careful selections, new race a
roses has been produced which, like an
msesls. gcrminate, flower and produce
seeds in less than year. The term
dwarf" is justified by the height, which
in adult plants is only about go inches
The flowers are single, semidouble or
double, in almost equal proportion, and
present almost all the variations Of color
observed in cultivated roses. Flowering
commences in the first year, and even
a few months after sowing. This pre-
cocity is one of the most remarkable and
interesting features of this new type

Boils are hard, prominent, inflamed tu-

from pea to a hens egg, and may occur
on any part of the body.
The causes are an impure condition of

Quratol concentrated is applied freely to

when the core Is forming, Quratol should
be applied as poultioe with bandages
wet with lotion of one part to six parts
of water. 1t will be found better than any
other poultice. 1t relieves the pain and re-
duces theswelling and inflammation. The
boil at this stage will have TO mature.
Quratol will, however, prevent much suf-

Sufferers from boils should look into

HUNTINGTON Is TO COME.
HE WILL START FOR CALIFORNIA
IN HIS PRIVATE CAR NEXT
TUESDAY.
The WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST
WILL BE SERVED AS Soon
AS He ARRIVES.

The Indictment of Coils P Huntington
was the one subject of conversation in the
Federal building yesterday. Some of
those who discussed the proposition
seemed to think that nothing would come
OF 1T, while others were confident that the
railroad magnate would be tried and con.
victed.
The clause of the interstate commerce
act under which Huntington was indicted
is an amendment passed in 1889. 1t pro-
vides that any common carrier, or when
such common carrier is a corporation then
"any director or officer thereof, or any re-
ceiver, trustee, lessee, agent or person act
ing for or employed by such corporation"
shall be liable under the act to fine not
to exceed $4,000. Further, ''if the offense
for which any person shall be convicted as
aforesaid shall be an unlawful discrimina-
ton in rates, fares or charges for trans
portation of passengers or property such
person shall in addition to the fine herein
before provided for, be liable to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for a term not
exceeding two years, or by both such fine
and imprisonment in the discretion of the
court"
Huntington is not expected in San Fran
cisco until about April next. His house
on California street has been put in readi-
ness for himself and friends, his private
car awaits his pleasure in New York, and
about next Tuesday he will start across
the continent. Should he so desire, he
could easily get here this day week, but
the chances are that he will travel in
leisureiy manner and reach here on April
2 in time to furnish his bond in the United
States District Court and reach his man
sion in time for a o'clock dinner.
The annual meeting of the directors of
the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific
companies will be held on April and 10
respectively. Annual meetings of many
minor corporations of the big combine will
also be held, and Mr.. Huntington expects
to attend them all. This Indictment
by the Grand Jury will certainly not
sweeten his temper, and the officials of the
various concerns are expecting lively
time of it.
