NEW MAR LODGE.
The Beautisui Home of the FLIES on the
River Dee.

The Beautisui Home of the Fifes on the
River Dee.
Mar Lodge--or New Mar Lodge, to
give it its proper title-was situated
on the south bank of the Dee, about
three miles above Castletown, Aber-
deenshire. Originally it was a small
stone house known as Corriemulzie
cottage, with garrets for bedrooms,
and was used by members of the
Fife family as shooting box. When
the present duke came into the prop
erty in 1879, Old Mar Lodge was
then let, and so he had to content
himself with the smaller of the two
places. To procure the necessary az
commodation he had to make add,
tions, and these additions have gone
on until Mar Lodge became almost
in itself small village. A drawing
room was added on the west; then
extra bedrooms, with fine billiard
room, grew up, also on the west.
These last were thrown back a little,
leaving an open space for carriages
to arrive in front of the principal
entrance. A small chapel was built
behind and above the lodge. On the
same level a ballroom was put up.
This was constructed of wood and
was very handsome on the inside,
being decorated with a large number
of stays heads. The entrance hall
and dining room were also recon
structed
The grounds around the lodge are
very beautiful. The hill behind
slopes down to the Dee and is cover
ed with pine, birch and mountain
ash. Peeps up and down the valley
may be had, with the granite noun
tains often hidden or partially so in
mist. The fall of Corriemulzie, al
though open to the public, may be
said to be within the grounds of the
house. 1t is very charming cas-
cade, which splits in two streams
and falls considerable depth into a
| deep glen, where the steep gray rock
is covered with luxuriant foliage
and wealth of wild flowers.
About quarter of mile higher
up the Dee valley above New Mar
Lodge is the Victoria bridge, a wood.
en- structure, with an iron arch over
the roadway at the southern end, on
which is the word Victoria on one
side and "1848" on the other, that
being the year in which the bridge
was built.
After crossing the bridge there is
wide park or 'strath,' and close
under the pine covered hill on the
north side is the picturesque group
of ruins known as Old Mar Lodge
When this house was erected nc
one seems to know, but it may b.
assumed to be about century old
1t is here every year that the Brae
mar gathering is held. All the mel
on the Fife estates, attired in thei
clan tartan, then turn out to tax
part in the highland games. Tn
duke is always present clad in til
kilt and usually entertains in prince
1y style the royal and other leading
visitors.

A NEGRO SHOT.
Bose James Brought In From Use wsshIta
Badly Wounded tits Assriiant
Comes IN with Him.

This afternoon just before press
hour a wagon drove up in front Of
Judge Gibbons oaice having in it
lying on a mattress a badly shot
negro. The driver announced that
be was the man who had wounded
the victim aud that he was here to
deliver him and 20 surrender him
self.
The wounded mans name is Bose
James and that of his assailant Is
William LOTUS, also colorcd.
James carries in his head and body
the contents OF two barrels Of shot
gun, but just how serious his wounds
are can only be surmised, as he had
not had any medical attention.
\ reporter for the AEDNoREITE
was soon at Judge Gibbons Office
and there found both parties to the
difficulty.
From Mat Johnson who was an
eve witness to the shooting and
LOTUS. the shooter il was learned
that carly this morning while engag-
ed in putting up wire fence, OF AZ
least while on their way to their
work, they came upon James who
was apparently waiting for them.
Tie was armed with gun and az once
commenced firing az LOTUS.
II seems he was a poor shoot as he
fred FIVE times and ran. In the
meantime LOTUS fired twice with the
above results, after WHICH he admin
istered 20 his victim and aided in
bringing him TO town
A. press hour Jones was being
taken to a negro boarding house and
was receiving medical treatment at
the hands Of Dr. Carr. Il Is not
thought his wounds are necessarily
fatal.
The shooting occurred on the
wa-hita about hneen miles north
east Of this city where the parties
reside. Lotus Is well known here
and Is said to be a good negro.

THE TEACHER CHeWED GUM.
Other Methods Had Failed to Break Up
an Epidemic Among the Pupils.

Just before the spring vacation a
West side grammar school suffered an
epidemic of gum chewing. The disease
manifested itself in mild form at first,
and the teachers thought they had
stamped it out by tie time-honored
method of compelling the children to
throw the gum out of the window.
Just as the teachers began 10 congratu-
late themselves on their success the dis
ease all at once broke out again in vio-
lent form. 1t is comparatively easy to
deal with one culprit says the Chicago
Times Herald, but when there are
thirtyfive law-breakers among forty
pupils, the situation becomes delicate
and requires a high degree of diplo-
macy. Some of the teachers tried des-
potism with nothing TO back it up,
others ridicule and sarcasm, another
arbitration. With the latter the COM
promise consisted in giving permission
to leave the gum in the cloak room. So
each girl put her hat on her own par
ticular hook and stuck her gum on the
wall above il, and her rights We're re-
spected.
But one day one of the boys who was
sent TO stand i'm the cloakroom made a
collection of wads of gum, and the girls
were bereft. After that they brou ght
their gum into the schoolroom and
stuck it on the ink-wells Having the
tempting morsels under tn cir eyes all
dav long was too much TO be resisted
and they soon relapsed into a more
hopeless state than before. In another
room the gum chewing had gone on
uninterruptedly for couple of weeks,
the teacher apparently taking no notice
of IT, This was all the more astonish-
ing, because she was strict discipline
rian one morning when the class was
called to order the teacher was sitting
on the platform as usual, but with the
absent-minded, vacuous expression
characteristic of the confirmed gum
chewer ON her face. She was chewing
gum with variations-all the variations
she had seen in the schoolroom. She
kept this up the whole day, laying her
gum aside with a sigh of regret when
she had 20 hear class recite and put
ting II into her mouth again as soon as
the lesson was finished. Not word
was said about it, The pupils looked
at each other in silent amazement, but
never smiled. At noon they discussed
the matter among themselves. In the
afternoon some of them appeared with
out their gum. They watched the
teacher, and it gradually dawned upon
them that She was giving them an OBJ
ject lesson. Did they look like that?
The next morning there was no gum in
the schoolroom, but the TEACHER asked
the pupils 10 spare her as much as pos
sible from talking jaws were tired.

TIRE OF LOOKING AT LILIES.
SO Many In Bermuda the Sight Grows
Wesrisome to the Eye.


II is the popular impression that the
production of lily blossoms for the
Easter season in this country is an inn
portant industry in the Bermudas.
The fact is that the blossom 5 are only
a bv-product incidental 10 the growing
of lily bulbs 10 be sent 10 Europe and
America. The expectation of the
blossoms il small except at the Easter
season, and AZ any other time of the
year when the plants are blooming the
blossoms are given 10 visitors. The
same is true of freesias, which are
grown in great numbers.
The soil and climate of the Bermudas
are especially favora bile 20 the growing
of the lily. and the bulbs are an inn
portant product, sharing with onions
and potatoes the attention of cultiva-
tors The lily grower separates the
bulb into parts. and plants each part.
The new bulbs are not exported the
first year. but are the second. II takes
four years 20 produce the great bulbs,
three inches in diameter. from which
spring the tall stalks crowned with
many blossoms The grower has boards
with four holes of different sizes, and
the bulbs are sorted by passing them
through these holes. one sees in
Bermuda lily fields covered with plants
varying in height from a few inches 10
two or three feet. The small ones are
the stalks from young bulbs. The
tallest are the ones sent to this coun-
try at Easter. The bulbs are removed
from the ground in summer and set out
again in the autumn.
Bulb growing is profitable and GER
tain. The grower can be reasonably
sure of the price from year 10 year, and
he usually hopes 10 make profit of
almost two dollars per thousand on lily
bulbs sold in lots Of one hundred thou
sand Gen. Hastings. Of this country,
who finds the climate of the Bermudas
peculiarly suitable TO his constitution,
has managed TO evade the law forbid
ding alien ownership of land in the
islands. and has become one of the most
notable growers of lily bulbs. Work in
the lily fields is done largely by ne
groes. though whites. men. women and
children, are also seen in the little
patches. The Bermuda negroes are
better educated and seemingly more in
telligent than the negroes of this coun-
try. and their bearing is markedly diff
ferent
The Bermuda negro has the broad
English accent and rather less Of what
Is supposed in this country 10 Re the
negro dialect. The ground for the lilies
is broken first with the pillow and after
that the cultivation is entirely with
hand implements. A large matlock-
like hoe is used Although the snowy
fields Of lilies and freesias have often
been described, no one quite realizes
the abundance Of these and other flow
ers in the Bermudas. Lilies are seen
everywhere, growing. or cut and placed
in water. FreeSias are gathered and
given away by the hundred. Children
on the road throw great bnnches of
blossoms into passing carriages. The
number of lilies is almost GLOWING, and
visitors tire of the ever-present odor.

DOGS AND DOG LAW.
Some OF tho Illegal Foolishness to Which
Owners OF CANNES submit.

Dogs have not the same property
value here that they have in England,
and this is so Notwithstanding the fact
that dogs are property here and they
are not property in England
This seeming paradox may be ex-
planned from the fact that according to
the old English laws felony was pun
ishable by death, says IIarper's Weekly.
If dogs had been property then, 70
steal a dog would have been felony,
punishable by death. 1t was not con-
siderered right that "A man should die
for "A dog, and, therefore, dogs were
held by the courts not 20 be property.
There are foolish dog laws in nearly
every city and town in the United
states based ON the presumption that
dogs are not property, but such laws
would not stand investigation and the
Interpretation of the higher courts.
\ dog catcher who Scizes dogs and
puts them 10 death is acting without
warrant of law, whatever the local
ordinance, for property cannot be taken
from citizen without giving him an
opportunity TO be heard in court of
law before a jury. The owners Of fine
dogs are usually 50 careful of them
that the dog catchers and poundkeep-
ers have small chance 20 capture them.
