AIMED FORTUN FROM AROSE
low the Famous American Beauty
IS Was Discovered by a Gardener.

How the Famous American Beauty
s8s Was Discovered by a Gardener.
Here is a pretty interesting story
abOut the origin Of that most bcauti-
sful Of flowers the American beauty
rose, says the Baltimore Herald. The
Filate George Bancroft, besides being a
historian and scholar. was one of the
first amateur rose growers in America.
Every year he imported cuttings from
/ the leading flower growers Of Europe.
The king of Prussia, when old Kaiser
William was king, allowed the Ameri-
can historian to have a slip Of what
ever he might fancy in the royal con-
servat tories Mr. Bancroft's gardener
used to cultivate some of his roses in
an sold house away out on f, or per-
shaps it wls G street, above Twenty
second street, in the west end Of Wash
ington, ID. G.. Mrs. Grant had florist
named Field in charge Of the White
House conservatory. He was a rose
grower Of rare merit and skill in his
artistic work. One day he happened
Into the old building where Mr.. Ban
grpft's gardener potted his plants and
sbudded his roses. Over in the corner
he observed rose of 8; variety utterly
unknown to him, and Of wonderful size
and perfection in form and color
|sssNhere did this come from?" he care
|iessly inquired of his growing con
|fEpre. 80, it is an offshoot from some
cuttings we imported from Germany"
The man replied. 1t was evident to
|sMr. Field that the other did not in the
Eieast comprehend t value Of the new
EpIant. After some talk Mr. Field
bought the cuttings he had seen for
$5. A year thereafter, when he had
psopagated his new purchase and be-
|sc0me convinced that he had a new
and very valuable variety Of rose,
which he named the American beauty,
he sold his find for $1,000. the most
wonderful result of the investment of
$6 on record. 10 follow his luck lit
stle farther, Mr.. Field invested his easily
earned $4,000 in lands near Washing
ton, which in little less than three
Years he sold for $50,O00. Truth is
sometimes stranger than fiction.

Cooking by Electricity.

Did you know they cooked by cleo
tricity now, on stoves built for that
purpose? First in order came wood
long ago, then coal, then oil. and as
each was used some one in the scien-
tific world would sit down and make
q calculation, announcing in an arti-
Gle or book that we were using up all
the carth's supply, and that in little
while. they always gave the dates and
numbers, we would have no more
wood, coal or oil to burn. And now
comes electricity Just in time to show
people how silly it Is to worry ut all;
thnt when one thing goes another
comes. We can never be told that
electricity will be consumed, for It's ev
erywherc--in the very air we breathe.
Nothing Is better to cook by. Best OF
all. the room never gets overhcated
from the stove.

A sARDINIAyN GANG.
They Muster 100 Strong and Loot a
Whole Town.

Whole Town.
The story Of the recent attack of
briyands upon the little town of Tor
toll in Sardinia reads like page out
Of the history Of the middle ages.
The robbers. more than 100 in number.
descended upon the town from the
mountains. They we're armed to- the
teeth, and carefully masked. as if they
were afraid Of being identified. Their
first proceeding was to station pick
cts ut the head Of every street leading
Tito the open country, then the main
body entered the town, shouting and
yelling and firing their rifles in Or
der to Intimilate the Inhabitants.
The garrison consisted only of two
genlarmes i'll charge of 4 brigadier
These three brave fellows turned out
on hearing the firing, and, being join
by several courageous and well-armed
citizens, opposed the brigands' ad-
vance. The fight which ensued lasted
several hours, and dusk had set in be-
fore the defenders of the town wer9
finally roi:ted. leaving the brigadier
dead on the ground, aud the two gen
darnes and several citizens grievous-
L., wounded. The brigands now spread
all over the town helped themselves
to cy yerything Of value exposed in the
shops, and breaking into aud looting
private houses. The inhabitants were
terroriZed. and nobody ventured into
the streets. The strongest detachment
of robbers made for the house of Sig.
Depon formerly syndic Of Tortoli, and
we'll known to be possessed of ample
means. The servants mad been warn
ed of the projected attack, and had
bo]tcd and barred the house. The bri-
gands, however, soon forced an en-
trance, and after a short fight, in
which the syndic's coachman was
killed, the defenders fed. The rob-
bers then went through the house,
aud secured. among other spells, 27,-
600 lire in gold. 10000 lire in paper
currency and jewelry worth 5000 lire.
With this and other Booty they march
cd off to their retreat in the hills

Heating the Poultry House.

Artificial heat in the poultry house
causes the hens to take cold when
they 20 outside; but the suggestion Civ
en- by us last year might be mentioned
again for the benefit Of some who
may not have noticed it. 1t is to hang
a lighted stable lantern in the poultry
house on very cold nights. 1t will not
create much heat, but will raise the
temperature sufficiently to dry the in
terror and make the hens more com
Portable. Care should be exercised,
however. to suspend the lan-ern by the
use of wire, and to use every precau-
ton to avoid liability Of destruction by
fire.

THE NEWS MAIL BAG.
Politics In the Tenth Ward.
To THE EDITOR or THE NEWS.

To THE EDITOR or THE NEWS
SIR-There has been an effort made OF
late years to introduce into our courses
of study the subject Of civil government,
as also certain exercises intended TO give
our youth a knowledge of the methods
OF selecting the men who make and
execute our laws and administer justice
in our country. But for an object lesson
on that subject nothing introduced into
our schools could be compared with the
lesson i'm practical politics given last even
ing at the Repu blican primary meeting In
the Tenth Ward. Tenth Ward poll
tics have been considered as sui
genoris for long time, regarded
rather as matter OF curiosity by citizens
OF OF her sections OF the city, in which the
participants, at most, could but shout
themselves hoarse and annoy the stays at
homes by midnight serenades. But
when a member of our General As
sembly, our State assistant attorney
general, and judge of our police
court countenance and encourage young
men, not yet OF age, and Others from ao-
joining wards, to attend and take hand
in the nomination OF men who are to have
charge OF public matters, II is time that
every citizen who believes in honesty
In politics should take a hand also,
and bury deep in political obloquy
any who seek to corrupt by example
and precept our young men. 1t Is
suspicious when the chairman OF prim-
ary meeting refuses to use a check list
the only way of determining who are
voters, but when he not only does this,
but refuses to allow anyone to address the
electors, and encourages young men not
OF age, his own son, not yet 1s
years OF age among the number,
to vote, it is no longer suspicious, but the
fraud is open and unblushing, and should
meet the reward 1t SO richly deserves at
the polls.
Electors, look to your ballots on We'd
nesday, April 3.

on the last words, and the two attorneys
eyed each other in no very amicabie

". & Hopkins. .Dawley's former attorney,
said that he went to Smith at the time of
the slander writ to see IL Dawley's bail
might not be made nominal as Dawley
had no money to keep him out of jail.
In this Mr.. Hopkins did not succeed. Mr..
Smith made a proposition that II Mr..
Dawley would Withdraw the suit against
King and enter by agreement that the
case should be settled with cost, that
the Milkman suit would be settled. Al
this point the court adjourned until 2:3O
o'clock.
The case has attracted q great deal of
attention, especially among the lawyers,
and the court room was crowded this
morning. The general opinion seems to
be that so far the petitioner has brought
but little evidence against smith, and
that the charges cannot be sustained.
