a short conversation he began to wander
restlessly up and down the apartment,
took off his hat and shoes and immedi-
ately replaced them, then seated himself
and remarked:
'I don't know of anything of value in
this life; everybody seems to be against
me-"
''At this" said May. "the idea entered
my head that the fellow was crazy. /

was not particularly frightened, nor did
/ think him the strangler,' but thought it
best to be on the safe side.
"The fellow noticed this, but exhibited
no excitement whatever, merely saying in
a matter of fact tone:
81 guess if you knew who am you
would get out of b ere.'
when he said this, l opened the door
that leads into my companions compart-
ments, stepped through and closed and
her there was crazy fellow in my room,
and she ran out to the corner where De-
tective Bohen was, and he returned with a
policeman and took the man away. That
is all there is to it."
The girl vigorously denies that she
jumped out OF the window, as stated in
certain papers, or that she ran out the
back door and screamed, as was reported
to have been maintained by Detective
Bohen. Her version has the support of
her mpanion.
About P. NJ. yesterday the stepfather
of Keyes, w. S. Havely. who lives at 1921
Vallejo street. called at the City Prison
and had him transferred to the Receiving
Hospital on the ground that he has been
of unsound mind for some four years.
Havely says the boys insanity is hered-
itary. his father being similarly afflicted.
About twenty days ago his mother took
him to New York to have him treated in
an asylum for mental weakness, but he
improved SO much in the meantime that
she concluded to bring him home again.
They arrived in San Francisco Tuesday,
and it was on the evening of the same day
that he wandered into st. Mary's alley.
A few years ago he was taken round
Cape Horn and along the Atlantic sea-
board III sailing vessel, in hopes that a
sea voyage would benefit him, and it
seemed to do so, but recently he has grown
worse.
The boy is young, only 19 years old,
dresses very styiishly, and is rather good
looking. The only features that would at
tract attention are the weak cast of the
mouth and the dull. staring expression oi
the eyes.
He sits quietly in his cell at the Receiv-
ing Hospital and answers most questions
in monosyllables. Now and then he will

endeavored to frighten the woman be

Or course she did nothing of the kind.

the unfortunate affair and will see nobody.

HIS INSANITY HEREDITARY.
The Published Accounts of the Affair
Magnifed Out of All Proper
Proportion.

1t not only appears now that the young
man named G. Keyes who was arrested
Tuesday evening by Detective Ben Bohen
and Policeman Greenwalt in St. Mary's
alley is in no likelihood the celebrated
strangler whose operations have been SO
mysterious, but that the published ac-
counts OF the incident magnified it out of
all proportions compatible with its i'm
portance.
The true details of the affair as given by
the girl May and her next-door neighbor
are as follows:

There has lately been much speculation
regarding the origin of the word "tlp."
a receptacle for small coin was fixed in a
conspicuous place, over which appeared
in writing, "To insure promptness." !"
Whatever was placed in the box was
divided among the servants. Other taverns
followed the example, and soon the words
were abbreviated to "T. /. P"

New Scheme for Making Plants Bloom
 Out Of Season.

New Scheme for Making Plants Bloom
 Out Of Season.
 Quite a revelation in horticulture has been in progress during the past decade, although, owing to the secret manner in which the experiments leading up to it have been conducted, comparatively few persons have been aware of the new de- parture, says Chambers Journal Everyone knows that flowers, as well as fruits and vegetables, are forced so that those who are rich shall have the use of them before unaided nature brings them to maturity. The forcing business is an expensive one, requir- ing constant attention and skilled la bor. Many attempts, therefore, have been made to get at the golden eggs by cheaper means, and as a result of many trials the opposite process to forcing has been adopted with sue cess.
 The system consists in retarding the Towering of the plant by refrigeration, and is,of course. only applicable to those which are hardy in this country, by which we mean those which will stand several degrees of frost. The lily of the valley is one of them, and it is much in request for purposes of decoration. Under the old forcing conditions only about 50 per cent. of the buds treated could be induced to flower, but by the freezing process an average of 95 per cent. can be secured from the end of summer up to Christmas. It will be noted that the process cannot be ap- piled to evergreens of any kind and it would certainly be the death of camel lias and probably hyacinths ard tulips. It is said that near Berlin three grow CTS alone have nearly 300 acres of lily of the valley under cultivation and that they have adopted the refri gerating method with great success. It has long ago been proved that the plant can be cultivated in England with equal success, and we trust that the new meth cd will soon be tried on an extensive scale in this country.

The Journalism of Parts of speech.

Qrom the Dial, September l. 1857
Parts Of speech are generally classed
amongst small matters by those who
fail to realize that they are no smaller

and that when small matters are peril
nent at all, they are as large as the
largest matters. The editor of the
Bookman, I'm answer to the criticism
that none but he could have written"
should be none but him" etc, says
that but" here would be explained, mot
as proposition, but as an adverb,
equivalent to 'only'-a common enough
usage" As there Is no such equivalence
and no such usage, the conclusion Is
irresistible that the editor, though col
lege professor Of Latin. not only cannot
tell the parts of speech in English, but
does not even know the principle of their
classification. There Is an adverbial
use or but I'm such cases as ''If / had
but known" and there Is a vulgar col
loquialism, not of but" for "only'', but
OF "ony' for but" as in 81 never sleep.

TOM WATSON SPEAKS.
HE MAKES A LABOR-DAY ADDRESS,
SAYING NOTHING ABOUT LABOR.
He IS SEVERE ON DEMOCRATS.

Lampoons sewnii-Not Much APP
pInuded.

DALLAS. TEN, September THE Hon.
Thomas f. Watson, OF Georgia, the Popu-
LIST candidate for Vice-President. to-day
addressed about 5000 persons at the State
FAIRGROUNDS. The occasion was Labor
Dav celebration. but Mr.. Watson seemed
IN have forgotten this. as he said nothing
concerning labor, but devoted his speech
TO Populist political doctrines almost ex-
clusively. Mr.. Watson was especially
severe in his denunclation OF the Demo-
cratic party, but said practically nothing
against the Republicans. He lampooned
the Hon. Arthur Sewall. Democratic
nominee for Vice-President. characterize
ing him as the incarnation of all that is
venal in politics. and as a prominent
representative of monopoles and the
money power. lie declared that SewaI
went TO the Chicago, convention not only
as a. national banker, but as a gold-bug
AT heart. and was at that time per-
sonally supporting a gold-standard Demo-
crat for the governorship OF Maine.
Mr. Watson declared that he was in this
fieht 20 a finish and that he will not
retire from the race for Vice-President
in MIR. Sewalrs favor; that IL Bryan is
defeated sewal will be to blame. and
that If Bryan wins 1t must be because
Watson wins also.
80 long as Tom Watson lives the Peo-
ple's party shall not die" was one Of
Mr.. Watson's emphatic declarations.
The speaker reviewed the course of
political events since the Democracy came
into national power, and could discover
nothing good I'm the record. He dashed
the railroads for attempting to coerce
employees into joining "sound-money"
clubs. He spoke in complimentary terms
OF Mr.. Bryan. saying that no railroad or
other monopoly or other corporation had
ever controlled or could control him. but
that the same could be said OF Tom
Watson.
Before the meeting a parade OF labor
ORGANIZATIONS was had through the city
During Mr. Watsons speaking the
crowd continued attentive, but there was
only moderate applause. Many leading
Populist politicians occupied places on the
platform. and, Of course, were the most
demonstrative in the cheering and other
evidences OF satisfaction.
Mr.. Watson spoke for more than an
hour. Al the conclusion of his address,
President George y. Beach, OF the State
labor organizations. announced the pro-
gramne for the afternoon and the meet
ing adjourned until ,. Z. NJ. Mr.. Watson
IS accompanied by State Committeeman

Populist National Committee. Mr.. Reed
was down for a speech i'm the afternoon.
