LIBERTY BELL is SEIZED.

Worlds Fair Relic in the Hands Of the
Sheriff for Debt.
The Columbian liberty bell, with all
it's glorious associations and memories,
after series of unfortunate circum-
stances is in the hands of the sheriff.
The Henry McShane Manufacturing
company, of Baltimore, Nd, which cast
1t, claims that it has never been paid
for it's work, and the other morning the
firms agent, j. H. Gid, and Deputy
Sheriff Goodman went to Evanston, ILL.,,
loaded the nine tons of priceless relic
into six-horse truck and brought the
bell to Chicago. From there it will be
shipped to Baltimore, where the firm
intends to place it on exhibition. For
neglected in barn at Evanston, In
charge of it's custodian, Capt. George
Knapp, who was intrusted with its
care by the Liberty Bell association.
The Baltimore firm for some time has
been threatening to attach the bell for
$1,000, the cost of the casting, and so
the final steps in the matter were taken
by its attorney, James H. Barnard.
A year ago, just before the relic took
its final jaunt to the Atlanta expo
sition, attachment proceedings were is
sued against it by E. C. Streeter, of the
North Chicago iron works. The amount
was only SIPS. and DR.. Oliver, of Twen-
ty-Sixth street and Indiana avenue,
rather than have the trip interfered
with, gave his note for the amount and
the attachment was lifted.
The bell, since the close of the worlds
fair, has lost its interest to such an ex-
tent that the association made no eff
fort to save their property.

A NO-TO-BAC MIRACLE.
Physical Perfection Prevented
by the Use of Tobacco.
Tobacco Twenty-three Years
He Gains Twenty Pounds in
Thirty DAYS

Lake Geneva, Wis. Especial. THE ladies
of our beautiful little town are making it
interesting for toba cco- using husbands
since the Injurious effects of tobacco and
the ease with which it can be cured by
No-To- Bac have been plainly demonstrated
by the cure of Mr.. F. C. Waite. In a
written statement he says: smoked and
chewed tobacco for twenty three years,
and my case was one of the worst in
this part of the country. Even after 1
went 10 bed at night I woke up to chew
or smoke. 1t was killing me, and my
wife was also ailing from the injurious
effects. Two boxes OF NO-To-Bac cured
me, and / have no more desire for to-
bacco than l have TO jump out of the
window. l have gained twenty pounds
in thirty days. my wife is well, and we
are, indeed, both happy TO say that No-To-
Bac is truly worth Its weight i'm gold.'" /"
Mr.. Waite's cure is looked upon as q
miracle. 1t is the talk Of the town and
county, and over "a thousand tobacco users
will use No-To-Bac. The peculi;i rity about
No-To-Bac is that the makers authorize
every druggist in America to absolutely
guarantee three boxes to cure or refund
compared with the expensive use OF tobacco,
that tobaccousing husbands have no ex-
cuSc to offer when their wives insist upon
their taking NO-To-Bac, gaining pure,
sweet breath, new mental and physical
powcrs and Il practical rehabilitation Of
their nicotnized nerves. No-To Bac not
only cures the tobacco 1iIbit, but restores
vitality and nerve vigor. 1t is indeed a
miracle worker for weak men. Get our

Miss Clara Barton, president OF the Red
Cross Society, who Is now in Turkey, in
which she speaks of the contagious dis
eases now epidemic in Armenia. They are
raging at Zeloun, Marash and in the in
terror of Anatolia.
The first news of the epidemic came to
Sir Philip Currie. British ambassador to
Turkey. who received his information
through the assemblage OF foreign consuls
at Zeiioun. Sir Philip begged Miss Barton
TO try to reach the sufferers with help.
They are in need of everything.
Miss Barton Immediately asked for per-
mission and protection from the authuri-
ties, both OF which were granted to the
Red Cross Society only. Miss Barton then
engaged with difficulty from the medical
college at Bayreuth, Syria, eight physi-
clans and druggists and also tciegraphed
for medicine and medical supplies.
An American physician, Dr. Ira Harris,
volunteered to take charge OF the party,
and they have gone into the field at Ze-
toun. Their travels are much impeded
by the mountainous roads, which are eov-
cred with snow.
DIR. Hubbcll is in charge of another ex-
pcdition at Marash. He has sent word to
Miss Barton that there were 5000 sick
at Zeitoun aud in the village and only one
doctor there. Miss Barton urgently re-
quests that medicine aud concentrated food
be sent to her at once.

An illustration of the way time is killed
in the Senate occurred when there was a
brisk colloquy in the Senate yesterday after
noon at the close or the protracted debate on
the financial question which came over from
the previous day.
The naval appropriation bill was nom.
inally under consideration, but it had been
hours since the amendment Immediately Be-
fore the Senate or any part of the bill had
been mentioned.
Mr.. Teller had made an hours speech aud
Mr.. Sherman had replied for half au hour,
and to this again Mr.. Teller had made a
rejoinder.
At the end of Mr.. Teller's second speech.
Mr.. Hale. in charge OF the appropria tiou bill.
arose and said gravely:
There is a tradition. possibly memory,
that the naval appropriation bill is before
the Senate. j should be glad il we could at
least occasionally give some attention to
that BILL he then went on at some length
to say that the real business of the Senate
was the passage of the appropriation bills
which are crowding upon each other now.
and not the making of political stump
speeches to be sent out to the country.
Mr.. Mills arose to say that he had some
remarks to submit in connection with the
speeches which had been made. It was evil
dent that he wished to treat upon the tariff
problem involved in wool duties which had
been brought up by Mr.. Sherman but Mr..
Hale did not so understand him. in closing
his announcement Mr.. Mills said that it was
impossible for him to go On at once and
he moved that the Senate adjourn.
Mr.. MILLS IN THE WAY.
Mr.. Hale replied that it was not late, and
urged that during the entire day not one
moment had been given to the naval bill
1t was yet comparatively early and still
the Senator from Texas did not want to
proceed.
"At this rate" he said. I'VE shall be here
till August or September"
He suggested grimIy that the arguments
on the money issue were none OF them new.

ought to keep your gold standard men

the debate, and said Mr.. Gorma hat started
the discussion yesterday with a purpose.

AN oDD-LooKING PLANT.

II SiN W III IlOWeE wnile
half way up the stalk was a second flower
pot, smaller in size, which looked like tile
plant had grown up through it. 1t Ger
| tainly was odd looking. 1t resembled two
plants in sepnrat pots, the top one being
supported on the same stalk as the first.
SO it was. The gardener needed more
plants of the croton variety, so half way
up the stalk be cut away q baud of bark.
At this place was pressed some rich earth.
A little flower pot was cracked down its
sides, and the parts pressed around the
earth and then wrapped with q piece of
wire. So nearly are these cracks made
that they remain unseen, and are a puzzle
to the visitors who wonder how the flower
grew up in the pot.
A few weeks pass by and roots shoot
out where the bark was severed. 1n
few days after the roots have sprouted, q
knife sewers the top of the flower. just
at the bottom Of the upper flower pot and
the gardener is the possessor of the crotOn
flowers. In smaller plants this method Of
propaGnting is followed, but instead OF the
flower pot only a batch of moss is used
where the cut is made.
Another means OF propa cation is made by
cuttings, and still another by seed. The
method Of creating varieties is interesting.
Flowers have masculine and feminine dis
tinctin. the same as animal life. The means
of generation is found in the pollen. which
every student of botany knows is transmit
ted by nature from one plant to another.
MAKE USE OF THE WIND.
The wind is a means OF transportation
among the wild flowers, but in the propa
eating garden the gardener selects n mas
culine red variety and feminine yellow
variety, transfers pollen from the first to
the anthers of the second and lets nature
do the rest. BY and by comes tile seed from
the yellow plant. 1t is planted and it's
product will be plant combining the yellow
and red colors. 1t is thus that the many
varieties are produced for the parks.
Mr.. Brown said yesterday that this year
over one million plants will be put in the
parks. They will include flowers, shrubs
and trees. There are certain flowers for
shade and for sun. In the shade the fuschia
will be extensively used this year. and
in the sun cacti will be an innovation for
Washington.
The palm house is filled with the finest
plants. These are 10 large tubs and are
merely set in the parks during the summer
and returned to the house in the fan.
The vases at the Capitol will this year be
filled with running nasturtiums and smiIax
The rose garden is another feature OF
the government floral house. 1t is from
this place that Congressman are supplied
with roses and yesterdays outpu for that
purpose was fully fifteen dozen finest
roses. Requests for cut flowers come
through Col. Wilson aud though there are
hundreds of plants the demand far ex-
cccds the supply.
