Eight Different varities Of Roses Grown

San Francisco has an immense rose
bush, which looks like an enormous
bouquet AT the top on ono side hang
clusters Ct pure white roses. In tho
middle at the top are rcd roses, bloom
ing in profusion. Pink roses hang in
gay garlandB at the top on the other
SIDE. All over the bush arc branches Of
roses Of other lines and colors The del
icate La France, the white Nine.
Planter, two varieties Of Homer roses,
the Pauline Lebeau, the Back Prince,
the Castilian and the white LamafQue
lend variety and attest by their prolific
blooms to the viriliiy of the stock upon
which they we're grated, says the san
Francisco Call.
The owner Of this rose bouquet is II.
L. Barker, who is connected with the
state bureau Of mining. Once thore
were % distinct varieties of roses on the
bush, but tho tea roses grated on proved
to be short lived, and only the harder
varieties have survived. There are
enough now, eight, to make the bush
a curiosity. Mr. Bakers explanation is
that he likes to experiment with plants
and this rosebush is about 10 years
old. Branch after branch has been
grated on. The original stock is the
June or cabbage rose. The width at the
top is not less than 90 feet, and the
height equals the width There are
many stocks or trunks springing from
the roots. Carbon is plentifully supplied
to intensity the color of the blossoms.

SAVINGS OF A LIFETIME STOLEN
But John Hurth, Montana Miner Plays
in Luck, for the Police Recover
the Treasure

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. % Robbed OF
the savings of q lifetime, John Hurth, a
Montana miner, rushed into the Harrison
street police station yesterday morning
and reported his loss. For three hours
leather pouch, containing $500 in German
money, collection of rare coins, deeds to
mining property in Butte, Mont. and a
gold nugget valued at $780, was in the
hands of women thieves. The pouch was
stolen from its owner in resort at 400
Clark street and afterward recovered by
the police with the contents intact. When
the pouch was returned to Hurth he was
so overcome with Joy that he wept.
Notwithstanding the fact that Hurth
has travelled across the American conti-
rent several times and also over large
portion of Europe and Africa, he was not
acquainted with the methods of the Chi
cago Ievee thieves and he fell an easy vic
tim to them. During all his travels Hurth
has kept his wealth in small lea ther
pouch, which. as safeguard against
thieves and robbers. he wore under his
clothing securely strapped to his waist.
When Hurth first discovered that his
treasure had been stolen from HIM he be-
so excited that it was some time before
the police were able to comprehend what
misfortune had befalleE the man when he
first made his complaint. Finally. after
three hours of suspense the pouch was
found under bed in the house at 400
Clark street by the police of the Harrison
street station and returned to The owner.
Several hours after the robbery Detec-
tives Reed and Jones spprehended two
colored women in vacant lot in Ply
mouth place. At the police station they
were recognized as inmates of the resort
where the small fortune was stolen.

PHOENIX, ARIz., Dec. 28.-Mayor ]. D.
Monihon To-Day at the request of citizens
issued a call for a mass-meeting on
Wednesday night for the purpose of af-
fording the people of Maricopa County
an opportunity to express their senti-
ments in respect to the Cuban question.
This meeting is called because of he false
position in which Arizona is placed by the
publication in the New York Journal in
terview with Governor Franklin, in which
he said: s'In the event of war with for
eign country Arizona would not furnish a
single volunteer for the army or navy"
People here feel deeply the disgrace this
has brought. This evening the Governor
said it all arose from a misunderstanding,
as he thought the question propounded
referred to the present state of affairs. ''Of
course" said he, 'sif war is declared Ari-
zonans will not be found lacking in loyalty
and patriotism. Arizona would furnish
her full share of volunteers. ALI this no.
toriety is simply the result of not under
standing the question"

the death sentence without any ejacula-
ton OF terror, hastily left the courtroom
in the custody of deputy Sheriff. He
grad uallv became composed and after
lighting cigar was returned to his cell in
the County Jail.
In addition to the crime for which he
was to-day sentenced to death Downen
has confessed having committed two MUIR
ders and great many hoid-ups. Dow
mems criminal record, according to his
confessions, is not by any means limited
to this vicinity. He acknowledges hav-

recognized either the independence or

United States cannot take cognizance of
the war until either the President or Con-
gress recognizes the existence of war, and
therefore it was impossible for the Three
Friends to be engaged in the service of

cal power with which the United States
was at peace, the insurgents not constitu.
ting political power recognized Dy the
United States, and therefore they are not

people," as designated in the statutes.
The United States District Attorney re.
lies upon the fact that there have been
heretofore con nfiscations of vessels for the
violation of this section where no war had
been acknowledged to exist, but the de-
tense contends that its point, now de-
penoed on, had never been raised in any
case of prosecution for violation of section
5283. The defense admits that the United
States Supreme Court in the Weborg and
Hor,a cases recently held that section
1885, part of the same act, can be violated
without the necessity of acknowledge
ment of belligerency, but maintains that
the Supreme Court in the same case held
that section 52S3 applied only to the case
of two recognized political powers en-
gagged il acknowledged warfare.
The case was submitted and taken un-
der advisement by the court. If the de-
fendants win this case they hold that it
will be OF very great importance to the
CuDans, as the Government will then
have to recognize the belligerency of the
Cubans, or at least stop prosecutions for
confisc cation of vessels under this section.

Criminal Career Of Albert

Next Month.
Realizing That the Gallows Draw
Nigh, the Once Boastful
Assassin Weeps

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 2S.-Unless the
Supreme Court OF the State of Colorado
interferes, Albert Hense Downen, the self
confessed and recently convicted mur-
derer of Joel w. Ashworth, the wholesale
meat salesman. shot down on the night of
June q last, will we executed at the State
penitentiary some time during the third
week of next January. The motion for
new trial argued before Judge Butler ten
days ago was denied in the West Side
Court this morning for the reasons APP
pended, and the famous prisoner SEN
fenced.
Judge Butler had scarce announced his
decision ere Albert e. Foote, counsel for
Downen, arose and announced his excep-
ton to the courts decision, and expressed
his intention of taking an appeal to the
Supreme Court. Assistant District Attor-
ney Hayes thereupon moved for the inn
mediate sentence of the prisoner.
Downen, who appeared in court un-
shaven and weary from night Of unrest,
listened intently as Judge Butler calmly
discussed the case prior to announcing his
decison. A noticeable change came over
the face of the convicted criminal when it
became apparent that there was not the
remotest posi- bIlity of his obtaining.
new trial. His face paled. mis- jaw dropped
and an expression OF unutterabe detection
possessed him. He arose like one in
dream and slowly tottered from the pris-
oners' box, with the apparent decrepitude
of man of 80 when the court pronounced
his name and asked him to step forward.
With bowed head and downcast eyes
Downen humbly faced the court as he
was asked if he had anything to say why
sentence of death should not be pro-
nounced.
After few seconds hesitation he replied
in indistinct tones, while his frame shook
with suppressed excitement. II have
nothing to say except that am innocent
of this murder" Then. unable longer to
restrain his emotion, the boasted MUIR
derer of Joel w. Ashworth and the reck-
less perpetrator of q dozen audacious
crimes, cried like child. The handker-
chief which the trembling hands pressed
to the dimmed eyes was moistened with
the tears which flowed unrestrainedly.
Deliberately the court proceeded with
the distressing task before him.

Judge Butler in tones which descended
upon all with startling fdistinctness, sis

thought was due TO the liquidation of the

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Dec 28.-The
case of the United States against the
steamer Three Friends, libel for forfeit
ure OF the vessel to the Government for
alleged violation of section 1888. Revised
Statutes of the United States was argued
in the United States court to-day. The
libel is basel upon the trip of the vessel
from this port last May, when she was
escorted to the three-league limits by the
revenue cutter Boutwell,.
The section the Three Friends is charged
with violating prohibits the fitting out IN
the United States of vessel to go in the
service of foreign prince or state, or of
any colony, district or people 20 cruise or
make war upon another foreign power,
state, colony or people.
The owners of the Three Friends con-
tend in their answer to the libel that sec
tion 5283 does not apply to the Cuban re-
bellion, because the United States has not
