BAYARD SPEAKS OUT.
He Has Said Nothing He Would N0r

LONDON, March 24.-sr Walter Henry Will
kim the lord mayor of London presided at
the banquet of the city of London Pension
society tonight. United States Ambassador
Bayard, in responding to the toast, "Kith and
Kin Beyond the Seas" made a significant
speech, in which ne said: Your kindred be-
yond the seas are as like as two peas 10 those
of Great Britain. The two peas are patriotism
and pluck" Then, after reference TO the char
liable disposition OF the race throughout the
world, Mr.. Bayard said:
Your kindred beyond the seas are not al
ways unanimous. Nevertheless, there is one
voice that appeals to them all. Since I came
to England l have never found occasion to
change my tone There is nothing l would
say at home that 1 would not say here. and
there is nothing | would not say here that
would not say at home. / do not expect unan-
unity. In the system of government origin
ated here and carried beyond the Atlantic there
is something that enables man to speak ae-
cording TO his own conscience There indeed
is the strength of this country and the strength
of my own. When the time shall come that
man shall not dare to speak the thoughts
that swell within him for the public good,

WERE THEY NIURDEREDf
Horrible Suspicion Regarding Death
of the OIdhOuses.

ALMA, Wis, March 24.-An investi-
cation concluded tonight shows that
the seven members of the Dollhouse
family, who were found dead in the
ruins of their burned home on the
9Th inst, were murdered. An inquest
was held at the time, and a verdict Of
accidental death was returned. Today
the bodies were exhumed. 1t was
found that two bullets had penetrated
the skull of the father, that the
mothers skull had been crushed, and
that the head of one of the children
had been crushed in. A revolver was
found on the bed near the mothers
body, and shotgun lay near the body
of Mr. Dollhouse, whose remains were
found near the front window. A frac-
ture in the skull of one child was
evidently made with hammer, which
was found near the body. There is
no clue to the murderers. Only a
small sum Of money was found In the
house, although Mr. Clubhouse had
recently sold his farm, and the family
was to have started West on the day
following the fire.

FARMERS LOAN AND TRUST COM.
PANY, OF NEW YORK, PLAIN
TIFF.
N. P. IS THE DEFENDANT.
ACTION TO RECOVER S2,OOO.OO0
UNPAID INTEREST ON THE
BONDS ISSUED BY
THE VARIOUS BRANCH LINES
Which Were Afterwards Guaranteea
by the Railway COmpany-Suit
Begun in st. Paul.

Complaints in two suits aggregatns
$2,OOO,O0O in round numbers were filed
in the office of the clerk of the United
States circuit court. yesterday, against
the Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany. The Farmers Loan & Trust
Company of New York is plaintiff in
both actions, and is represented by At
torneys Eller & How, of ST. Paul. The
actions are for the recovery of the UNI
PAID interest on the bonds of various
branch lines, control of which was Sc
cured by the Northern Pacific some
years ago, with a guaranty of the in
tefest on the bonds. In no case, with
one exception, has any of the interest
on these bonds been paid since the
spring of 1893, the net earnings Of the
branches being insufficient to meet il.
and 1t is for the recovery of it from the
guarantor that the suit is brought by
the Farmers Loan & Trust company,
as trustee.
One complaint alleges seven causes
of action, a separate cause for each
particular branch. The aggregate of
the amounts sued for in this case is
1888, 1870, distributed as follows:
Interest on bonds OF the jamestown
& Northern branch since April /,
1898. 80. ..;...:..... ............ s276,5s7 4b
Interest on bonds of the Rocky
Mountain branch since same

Dakota branch since May l. 1898 16 625 90
Interest on bonds of the Spokane G.
Palouse branch since April l. 1888 152 go 90
Interest on bonds of the Northern
Pacific & Manitoba branch since
July l, 1893. ................,,..... Coz 500 90
Interest on bonds of the Spokane
Falls & Idaho branch. ........... 33 $50 90
Total :....... ..':........ -. 81 1913, l4S 40
The other complaint contains but one
cause of action, $62S, 160 as interest on
bonds of the Northern Pacific & Mon
tana branch since March l, 1893. The
aggregate of the claims in both suits,
therefore. is 81 1856, ,303.40
The complaint states that of the total
amount of interest due on the bonds
of the Helena & Jefferson branch since
April l, 1893, $24, 500 has been paid. The
feature Of the suits is the amount in
volved, the proceeding being merely a
formality to validate the claim against
the Northern Pacific.

Bees and Flowers.

A writer in Meehan's Monthly for
August in discussing the agency of
insects in the fertilization of flowers
says that there are few florists who
have not been interested in the par
ticular speculatiOns advanced by writ
ers with a limited knowledge of
plants, in regard to the agency of in
sects in the fertilization of flowers.
According to these speculatiOns, color
and fragrance have been made the at
tributes of flowers, solely that insects
Decentralization. The insect is sup
posed to carry pollen from the flowers
of one plant to the flowers of another,
and it is further supposed that the
progeny of these crosses have a great
er power in what is called ''the strug
gle for life" than plants which orig
mate from rehabilitation. Those,
however, who look closely into the ma
ture of flowers, find very much that

lations. For instance, the willow is
plant that bears male and female
flowers on separate plants. Female
flowers have no fragrance, and yet
they are visited by bees, probably
just as freely as if the flowers we're
ever so sweet. The male flowers, on
the other hand, have a delightful fra
grance-bees visit them also with
freedom. AS a general rule, bees that
collect from the male flowers seem to
collect from these male plants only.
Usually, individual bees seem to work
wholly on the female fowers-and, as
bees visit the sweet flowers indiscrim-
inately, what connection can the odor
of the male have to do with questions
of Decentralization? This seems
equally true of color. A large number

strong, upon dry soil, or be allowed
to touch the foliage. To prepare 1t,
take pail part full of decayed man
ure and pour boiling water over it
bv using hot water the weed seeds, ii
any, are destroyed, as also are worms
and insect life. After it has cooled
and settled, pour off the water and
before using reduce to the color OF
weak tea. At first, once a week is
often enough, but as soon as the
plants become accustomed to the
stimulant it may be applied two, and
even three, times week, according
to the nature of the plant under treat
ment. SCOT tea is also good for plants,
giving them a freshness of foliage and
a brilliancy of color that is surpris-
ing. 1t is prepared in the same man
ner as manure tea, and they may be
used together if desired. SCOT tea is
especially recommended for roses, but
is beneficial to all other plants as
we'll.
In reporting plants little well rot
ted manure may be placed directly
abovt the drainage, lightly covered
with soil so the roots may not come
in contact with it until established.
Fill in around the ball whit soil mix
ed with manure, and when the roots
begin to explore the new soil they
will find just the food suited to their
needs, and will not be slow to profit
by your generosity.
For people who find it impossible or
inconvenient to prepare the manure
tea, so much used as a fertilizer, the
prepared plant foods of various
brands are found very useful They
seem to perfectly fill a long-felt want.
They are pleasant to use and not
bulky to handle; they are sold at
very reasonable rate, with directions
for their use.

of sweetest flowers are extremely in
significant as regards color-while
numbers of the most snowy flowers
have scarcely anything that would in
vite nectar loving insects. 1t may be
granted that color and fragrance may
have some little influence in attract
ing insects; but these characters GER
tainly can have no great place in
building up a speculation as to the
great changes in plants involved in
theories of cross-fertiliZation.

Pansles.

The frequent inquiries in the Agri-
culturist for directions for growing
the pansy, is only another proof of
the universal popularity of this beau
tiful flower. 1t is SO easily grown in
Florida that no one who admires it
need be without it from Christmas
until June. Sow the seeds from the
first to the Middle of September, in
a box about four inches deep, filled
with the richest kind of earth-if it
is one third we'll rotted manure all
the better. Place the box on the
north side of a building, where it will
get the sun only little while morn
ing and evening. Never allow the
earth to get dry-in a week the
plants will be up. AS soon as they
have got their third or fourth leaf,
transplant into another box of equal
ly rich earth, setting the plants two
inches apart each way. Still keep
them in the shade more than half the
day, and let them remain in the box
until the cool weather, about the
first of November. By this time they
will be good large, stocl1y plants.
Take long knife and cut entirely
through the dirt, half way between
the rows, both ways. This will give
each plant two inches square of earth
and they will hardly know they have
been moved. Make the beds in par
TALLY shaded place if possible-but
not near large trees. Make them
deep, mellow, and as rich as the earth
in the boxes. Give them all the water
they need, and occasionally a dose OF
liquid manure, and you will have a
profusion of large and beautiful flow
ers. Cut all the blossoms every
morning and the plants will continue
to bloom until the hot weather OF
summer. ..

Managing Pot Plants.
summer.

Vicks Magazine says: Plants that
are grown in beds where the roots are
free to seek the food, are often en-
riched but once-at planting time
But when restricted to the narrow
limits of a pot, ''little and often is
the rule. If we would not check their
growth we must provide the food they
cannot collect for themselves. This
is accomplished in many ways. Pot
shrubs and bulbs are much benefited
by removing the soil down to the
roots and replacing with fresh earth.
This method is recommended for all
plants that object to being often dis
turbed.
Geraniums, chrysanthemums, and
all plants of vigorous growth, may,
when pot-bound, be turned from the
pot, have part of the ball removed, the
pot filled above the drainage to the
required depth with rich earth, and
the ball returned. This should be
done as carefully as possible, so as
not to injure the fine roots unnecessa-
rily. Also remove the top, of desired,
and refill with rich earth. If proper
lv done, an immediate benefit will be
noticed in the renewed growth of the
plant.
It is wise precaution to have a
basket of rich soil, prepared especial
ly for this purpose, in the cellar as
winter arrives. 1t will more than re-
pay the trouble of securing it.
Liquid manure is common way of
providing plant-food, but, like all
good things, it must be handled with
Judgment. 1t must not be used too
