Tree Peon1eS.

Meehans Monthly: Amateurs usually
have a number of plants which grow to
some little size and which are known
as tub plants. that are easily transferred
during the winter. and yet from striking
beds when placed in judicious situations
on the lawns in the summer. Oranges,
lemons. hydrangeas. oleanders yuccas.
pomegranates and other similar plants
will readily come to the mind. One of the
most desirable of this class of tub plants
is the tree peony. AS usually seen in
gardens, they do not make much of
show. because it takes many years be-
fore they can grow to large specimens.
Each shoot only makes two or three
buds a year, and each of these buds will
make a flower the year following put.
in five or ten years a bush in flower
presents a striking appearance A large
tree peony is usually considered OF great
value A 10 or II year old plant would
he worth nearly as many dollars as 1t
had been years growing. 1t is never
ceasing object of growing interest.

Englishmen Overjoyed Because of
the Treaty.

London. Jan. 2O.-A meeting was
held in Birmingham today to perfect
arrangements for a suitable celebra-
ton of the signing of the general ar

States and Great Britain. Among the
speakers were G.. T. Parker. United

that the treaty would undoubtedly be
ratified by the United States senate,
and that the people of both countries
in the meantime must be patient. Mr.

than eight smelling bottles, some of
which are not of diminutive size.

To Test a Turkish Rug.

New York Evening Post: A test of the
genuineness of an Orietal rug or carpet
which a COnStantinople gentleman says
is sure IS 10 examine carefully to see
if each stitch is knotted. instead of
trusting to those easily-put-on marks OF
age. patches. holes and crooked places
If the stitch is knotted and firm the
rug is genuine Turkish. but if the stitch
can be pulled out. it is imitation no
matter how closely the original rug may
have been copied in pattern or color. An
Oriental dealers test is to drop i live
coal on the rug and when it has burned
. little to remove it quickly with the
fingers. If the scroching entirely disap-
pears leaving the original colors IN
altered. it is proof of the genuineness of
the rug.

Chicago, Jan. 20-The Transcontinental
Passenger association has concluded a
Sundays session, something unusual in
ilS history. and agreed on d rate and
conditions for the ational convention of
the Young PeOnle'S Society of Christian
EndeavOr to be held in San Francisco
next July. The protracted meeting was
due to charges being made that certain
roads bad secured large share of the
rate in advance of an association agree
ment. The debate became exceedingly
warm and personal and the threat was
made that San Francisco would not get
the convention unless an equitable divis-
ion of the business was agreed to. The
trouble was smOothed over by an agree

far as it could be done. the proportions

no progress at the meeting in settling the

The death of Rev. Alexander Hartman

and the Sheriff.

Bitterly Denounces Both the Operators
and the Sheriff
WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. u.-Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, after bitterly denouncing
the killing of the men near Hazelton as q
brutal murder, said:
1.-The men were marching on the public
highway. They had as much right to
march to Latimer or any other place on
the highway as the Sheriff or Governor of
United States.
THE mine operators, in the madness of
their supposed power and in their effort to
enslave labor, have used judges and courts
to give the color of law to the most
fragrant violation Of the constitutional
rights of the people. The Sheriff and
deputies, taking their cue from their
superiors, have carried out this policy and
killed men exercising their rights under
the constitution and law.
In his published explanation Sheriff
Martin makes an effort 10 secure
the favor of our native Ameri-,
cans by repeatedly emphasizing his
statement that the miners ne killed
were /, reigners. 1t may be true that
these men are not native Americans, but
they were the men brought here by the
greed and cunning of the mine operator,
and SO long as they submitted to he
starved no word as to their foreign birth
was heard; but now this cry of oreigner
is like cloud of dust raised 10 obscure the
CRIME.
'The miners will win their humane ana
heroic struggle. They deserve to win.

tion of their friends and sympatbizers."
