THE GLOVE TREE.
How the Br,as Arc Prepared For tho Uses

of Commerce..
The Glove tree is IL native of the Mo
lucca islands and belongs TO the far
spread family Of nyrtles 1t is tall,
very handsome evergreen, with ovate,
oblong leaves and purplish flowers, az
ranged i'll corymbS OH short iointed
stalks. Tho flowers are produced i'll
great profusion, and when they appear,
which is ut the beginning OF the rainy
season, they are i'll the form of elongat-
ed, greenisll buds. These unexpanded
buds are the cloves of commerce, which
derive their name from the Spanish
word clavo, "a nail, ;" so called from
tho real or fancied resemblance of tho
bud to Il nail.
Sometimes the Glove fruit appears in
commerce i'll Il dried state, under tho
name of mother cloves. " 1t has an
odor and flavor similar to cloves, but is
much weaker
The flower buds are beaten from tho
tree and are dried by the smoke of wood
fires and aftcrward by the sun If tho
buds remain on the trees, tho caliccs
gradually swell, the embryo seeds en-
large and the pungent properties of the
cloves are to great degree dissipated.
Cloves consist of two parts. round

BURNED ON LAKE HURON.
steamer Egyptian, a Veteran of tn
DESTROYED.

HARRISVILLE, Mich, Dec. 2, 1S97.-The
steamer Egyptian, bound from Cleveland
for Milwaukee with a cargo of coal,
burned to the waters edge in Lake Huron
last night off Sturgeon Point. h fire
was discovered by the Sturgeon Point
Life Saving crew about eight o'clock and
started at once to the rescue, arriving at
the burning boat at eleven o'clock.
On the way to the steamer the lite saw
ing crew passed a barge which hau taken
the Egyptians crew off, but the life
savers continued on their way with the
hope of being able to save the burning
hulk.
There were twelve vessels around at the
Egyptian during the early part of the
fire, but by the time the life savers
reached her they were all gone. With
out help of any kind at hand, the life
savers were compelled to leave the
Egyptian, without doing anything after
rowing aboutsthirty-five miles in weather
nearly to zero. None of the life-savers
suffered permanent injury from the cold.
Captain Henderson. who was in command
of the life-saving crew, deserves great
credit for his heroic e~ndeavors to save
to nave done something had not all the
vessels sailed away when the life boat
was still two miles away from the burn
ing vessel.
The Egyptian was owned by Nelson. 5.
Whipple of Detroit, according to the blue
book. She was of 1,206 net tons and was
1852 feet long, 26 feet beam. She was built
in 1873, and was several years past the
time when she was a money maker.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Marble Heart for Cuba and
Cement Brains for Every
thing Else.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 1S97.-The mes
sage of President Mckinley will be de-
voted practically to the subject of for
eign relations and the currency problem.
1t will be unique In one respect in that
it Ignores the great bulk of matters
usually constituting the departmental
portions of Presidential annual messages.
There is scarcely a reference to the
subject matter of the annual reports OF
the Cabinet, the Presidents purpose be-
ing to call attention only to the more
important affairs of the Government. For
this reason the postal savings project OF
the Postmaster General is not discussed
in the message.
While the details of the currency plank
are not definitely known, 1t can be au-
thoritatively stated that 1t is in the main
incorporation of views submitted by Sec
rotary Gage, though as to details the
President leaves himsel freedom of action
by not taking any position with reference
to several features of the Secretary's plan
while endorsing its main object. Strong
presentation of the Hawaiian question is
made and Congress is urged to take i'm
mediate action by ratification of the trea-
ty of ~nnexation. This PART of the mes
sage strongly DEPICTS the LScSSSlly ~
making the island part of the domains OF
the United States and reviews the advan-
tages that would accrue to the country by
it's possession.
AS to Cuba, the message calls attention
to the recent trend of affairs on the island
refers to the scheme of autonomy just
offered by Spain and after reciting other
developments in the situation, reaches the
virtual conclusion that existing circum-
the affairs of the island.

various countries in Europe. Special
Commissioner Kasson has been working
message deals with some of the develop
expresses the hope of the Administration
e secure satisfactory results in the flu
ture.
Ane policy of the administration on this
subject is outlined, and, citing French
champagnes as an illustration, the point
is made that if special concessions are
given any foreign products the United
States must be given equal treatment by
reciprocal concessions.
The Alaskan problem is discussed at
some length, and a plea is made for Con-
gressional legislation, including the extern
sion of the operation of the public land
laws and the granting of rights of way
for roads by which all parts of the coun-
try may be made more accessible.

NO PROOF OF ROBBERY.
PodezaAkt Was Drunk Before He
Entered Ernsfss Saloon.

"
The case of John Podezaski, of No. 100
Morris street, this city, who claimed that
he was robbed of $73 in Ebert Ernst's sa-
loon, at No. 40 Ferry street, Hoboken, on
Saturday night, came up for hearing be-
fore Recorder McDonough in Hoboken,
this morning. Podezaski testified that
he entered the saloon about nine o'clock
IN compan with Peter Behan of Pavonia
avenue. He drank several glasses of beer
and showed a roll of bills. Then he be-
came sick, and when he recovered he
found himself on the street without any
money in his possession.
The testimony of Ernst, Martin StinZ,
the bartender, and another man, who was
in the saloon, showed that the complain
ant was intoxicated. Podezaski admitted
that he had been drinking heavily before
he went to Hoboken. Ernst testified that
he noticed Behan acting suspiciously and
ordered him from the place. A few min
utes later, he says, Podezaski started to
leave the barroom, but instead of going
out on the street he staggered into a room
the door of which is close by the main en-
trance to the saloon, and fell on the floor.
Ernst says he picked him up and assist
ed him to the sidewalk, where Podezaski
started for his home.
All the other witnesses testified tina
they had not seen anything wrong while
Podezaskf was in the saloon. The Court
decided that although the case was very
much complicated, no testimony had been
ELECTED to prove hat the complainant had
been robbed in the saloon, and the case
was dismissed.
