CENTURY PLANT BLOOMS.
VIII Die After Its Seed Ii Deposited In
the Soil.

VIII Die After Its Seed Ii Deposited In
the Soil.
Nearly three months ago century plant
in the greenhouse of J. Condor, on Fort
Hamilton parkway, near Greenwood GEM
etery, Brooklyn, sent forth flower Shoot
The plant, with many others Of its kind
which Mr.. Condor had received from
Mexico, had been lying untended In a cor
ner of the greenhouse, and when one OF
the employees told the proprietor that 1t
was behaving in an unusual manner Mr..
Condor supposed at first that it was mere
" developing a new leaf shoot. After
three days, during which time the pale
green point had ascended one foot, he
changed his mind and had the century
plant moved out into sunny spot. 1t was
carefully tended and watched, for the bios
sominR Of one of these plants is % rare IN
this climate that the occasions on which 1t
has happened In New York state within
Is years can be counted on ones fingers.
Soon the plant was In full bloom. 1t
reached q height of 25 feet, and Is feet up
the first branch appeared. There were II
other branches above this. Each branch
was decorated with corn oolored flowers
hanging in clusters like the familiar be-
aonia rubra. These flowers are more curl
Gus than beautiful, their pale hue uniting
them for an ornamental flower. For .
month the flowers remain. Then they
fall, and where they alight hundreds OF
little century plants will spring up. With
the falling Of the flowers and the conse-
quent propagation of the species the plant,
which has lived perhaps 20 or 80 years to
this end and purpose, dies. First Its
leaves swell enormously, then they wither
away, and almost before the tiny centen-
arians have probed their green crest above
the earth all that remains Of the mother
plant is the round, spikelike stem, hard
ened to q stony consistency.-New York

A NEGRO POET.
London IIonizes Paul Lawrence Dunbar,
L the Dayton Elevator Boy.

London Llonizes Paul Lawrence Dunbar,
L the Dayton Elevator Boy.
Fickle fortune never did a more unex-
pected thing or created a more genuine
surprise among those who watch her &C.
centric movements than when she sum-
1noned from the ranks of the vast army OF
obscure literary workers the lowliest and
humblest of the lot, penniless negro the
son of slave parents, and set him on the
hiahroad to fame and fortune. Only
about year ago Paul Lawrence Dunbar
was working for his living as elevator boy
in an Office building of Dayton, o. Today
he Is literary lion of the hour In Lon
don, sought for by the most fashionable
people of the British capital and well
come guest in the most exclusive of draw
ing rooms.
Although Dunbar has been writing
oreditable poetry for years, his sudden rise
to fame and prosperity was all due to the
merest accident. One day last year Mr..
W. D. Howells, who was then writing the
literary reviews for Harper's Weekly,
CHANGED to come across slim little volume
of poems entitled "Minors and Majors {"
The poems pleased the great literary auto
orat nightly, and he turned to the fly
leaves in the front of the book to discover
the name Of the author and where the
volume had been published, but the pub
Usher had omitted the date place and i'm
print, and the only olew was woodcut
print of negro youth, with the name Paul
Lawrence Dunbar underneath.
Mr.. Howells wrote review Of the book,
giving the author high praise for his work,
and after some inquiry learned that the
poet was humble elevator boy in Dayton.
He found that Paul had been writing
verses for the newspapers for several years.
In 1894 he gave series Of readings to
small audiences in the chapel Of a negro

PARsHLEY SENTENCED.
He Gets Eighteen Months in Portland
Jail.

Yesterday afternoon Frank Fl. PARISH
Iey, the post Office clerk who was arrested
for embe zzlement Of letters from the
mails short time ago. was brought be-
fore Judge Webb in the United States
district court. Parshley appeared I'M
concerned when placed in ths dock. he
waived the reading OF the indlatment ana
when called to plead by the clerk
pleaded nolo cOntendere.
When Judge Webb asked his counsel,
Hon. George e. Bird, If Parshley ma
any thing to say before sentence, MI.
Bird said no but that he himself III MS
behalf would say that Parshley had
uever before been accused Of any crime
whatever. He had served faithfully and
discharged his duties as clerk In the
recsipt and dispatch Of mail in COM
petent manner, until the past year when
he became addicted to bad ..hab-
it's that made him unreliable.
He asked for leniency for the
sake of his parents on whose fair fame
no spot had ever rested, even If it could
not be granted for the sake of the prison
er himself.
District Attorney Bradbury, was not
DESTROYS of being hard on the prisoner
but he did not think that his offence
weighed upon him very heavily. There
was too much of this sort of thing going
on in the post Offices of Maine and severe
lessons should be taught to those who
were guilty.
Judge Webb upon referring to the
statute raid that the m agnitude OF such
an offence as that with which the prison.
er was charged was appreciated by Con-
eress when it is seen that the penalty was
made five years at hard labor AS the
maximum punishment and one year for
tbs minimum. He dilated upon the
error committed by men in such posi-
lions when they allowed themselves to
fall into habits that entailed degraoa-
ton Of the moral perceptions and en-
gendered extravaganza. He spoke OF a
visit he had received from the mother OF
the priso1er who exhibited far more
mental anguish than her son had shown,
and who had begged at least the family
might be spared the disgrace OF the
prisoners being sent to the state prison.
The Judge then asked Postmaster
SWEET some questions about the prisoner
and then announced the sentence Oh
Parshley through the clerk, that ne be
imprisoned at hard labor in the portland
Jail for IS months.
Parshley received tha sentence very
cody.
