Got the Watch.

A Camden lawyer put up a bluff sue
cessfully not long ago. 4 client came
to him and explained that a young
man had bought a watch from him on
the installment plan. He made n pay
ment. gave the watch to Il young lady
and skipped out. The client wanted to
know IL he could recover the watch
from the young lady. The lawyer said
that he could not without spendin.
more money than the watch was
worth. except the young woman could
be bluffed. The client said a bluff
would be paid for if successful. and
the lawyer posted the following letter:
Dear Madam-The watch recently
presented to you by Mr.. Blank was OBJ
tanned surreptitiously from the estab-
lishment Of my client. and unless 1t is
returned by next Tuesday morning |
will be obliged to. very reluctantly, dis
patch a judicial functionary to your
residence with process"
The watch was delivered the follow
ing morning and the lawyer received n
fine gold chain for writing the letter.

LARGELY INVENTION.
French Officials DO Not Credit Alleged

the Lokal Anzeiger Of Berlin Of the Sc

gal and Great Britain. providing for
the partition Of the Portuguese colonies
meets with no creGence III official cir
cles here. A foreign Office official said
10 a representative Of the Associated
Press that their advises from Portugal
and Germany lett no doubt that the
publication was largely invention.
Iney could not believe Portugal would
sign a treaty stripping herself Of her
colonies, and 50 ~far-reaching and harm

Notwithstanding the denial of the
French foreign office, it Is believed in
other quarters hat an agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Germany NAV
exist outside Of the understanding be-
tween them this year, the outcome be-
ing to build a telegraph line between
Cape Town and Cairo.
BERLIN, Dec. ga German official
agency has issued a abatement to the

New YORK, Dec. a9.-The Herald's
Berlin special y
The Lokal Anzeiger publishes the
contents of the Observation-Disclosures
guese secret treaty. This double treaty
will have executive force as o as the
Swiss ~ju-ists. Messrs. Blaesi. Hensler
and Goldau. have given a decision in
the Delagoa arbitration.
The decision, it is expected. will be
given IN January or February. and will
probably be in favor of England. in
which case Portugal must pay to Eng
land and America an indemnity of
81. 800. 00o.
England obtained in 1891 from Portu-
gal the right of presumption in Delasoa
bay. The cession Of Delagoa bay to
England may therefore be expected III
March next.
1t is possible hat President Kruger
may now declare war on Portugal and
attack Delagoa at once.
In order to prevent any interference
by France or Russia England concluded
a secret treaty with Germany regard
ing the complete partition of Portu-
gvese colonial possessions.
Germany Is receive all PortugaIs
Aslatlc loSsessions-that Is to say,
Timor, Goa, Damaio, Macao and Diu-
with 10000 square miles of territory
and a million inhabitants. Germany
further receives in Africa all Portu-
Suese territory north Of Zambesi except
a strip Of land three miles wide for
Cecil Rhodes trans-African railway.
For this the German government Will
pay Portugal % OO. 600 marks.
WHAT surprises Inc in the statement
of The Lokal Anzeiger is that it refers
TO Asia, when | have been repeatedly
assured at the foreign Office that the
treaty only refers TO Africa and did not
refer to Asia. 1t must, however, be
remembered that The Lokal Anzeiger
was IL a position TO publish the Samoan

Trains. Worry, Disease and Dantb

Late trains are a source Of ANNOYANCE
70 everybody. The British Medical
Journal dwells upon the very serious
result produced by them upon the
health If travellers. The rush to tho
station to catch the train which may
perchance be punctual; the weary wait
on drafty platforms or in stuffy wait
ing rooms, the dilatory journey-a.!
these, we are told, add seriously to the
labor Of the day ever In the best Of
times, but when the weather is cold
and damp they are still more injurious

ings, a good grower and bloOmer. This
rose will make valuable addition to
any rose garden.
Everyone who has ever heard of a
rose is familiar with the old favorite,
Marechal Neil 1t is probably the most
famous of all roses. White Marechal
Neil is an exact counterpart of it's par
ent. except that the flowers are a
creamy white. 1t is lovely rose. 1t
has the subtle, deep, Tea fragrance,
and is only suitable for warm climates.
White Bougere is valuable rose for
bedding purposes, where a mass OF
white is wanted. 1t is like BOugere,
hardy, and very free Towering rose.
1t will produce fifty per cent. more
bloom than the Bride.
Princess Bonnie is a rose with which
| am very favorably impressed. 1t has
long. pointed buds of the brightest red.
In cool weath it's flowers come a vel
vety crimson. 1t is very foriferous-
medium grower. Probably it's only
fault is that it is disposed in warm
weather to come semi-dOuble. Even in
this state it is lovely.
Gen r. e. Lee grows in favor with
us each year. 1t is a healthy grower,
with small, clean foliage, and is the
freest blooming Tea rose grown. Its
buds measure two an half inches III
length. The open flower is full to the
center, while in the whole range OF
roses there is not one variety that ap-
proaches it in it's delicate color. The
color is so refined that the imagination
portrays it as belonging to some celes-
tial spirit It shows best on cloudy
days, or grown in the shade. 1t is a
shade of yellow that cannot be de-
scribed as there is no color with which
to compare it. How to Grow Flowers.

The Night Blooming Cactus.

The only true night blooming cactus,
especially so called, is the Cereus
grandiforus This last long specific
name implies it's beauty and grandeur.
1t is one of the most delightfully."- scent
ed of all the cactus family, blooming,
as noted, at night. A large plant, COW
cred with blossoms, is a sight of
beauty once seen that is never forgot
ten. The round stems have numerous
small angles on them and are covered
with delicate spines. These stems are
usually about as thick as ones finger.
OF late years another member of the
cactus family has usurped the name of
night blooming. This is PhyllOcactus
IatifrOns. 1t is one of the broad, fiat
leaved kinds, and is so readily propa-
gated that IT mas now become common.
1t has a long tube to the flower, which
curves downward like a siphOn. 1t
does bloom at night, and in one sense
is night blooming; but it bears no COM
palisOn in any respect with the Origi
nal night blooming cactus.-Mehan's

Heliotrope.

The heliotrope should. be pinched
back and not allowed to make weak
growth, if a bountiful supply of flow
ers are desired.
A slip started in August and Ell
couraged to make a vigorous, stocky
growth. will produce from six to four
teen flower heads by the last of Janu-
ary. and others will soon follow.
Heliotrope needs liquid manure,
when growing vigorously, and plenty
of root room. A good sized plant needs
a six inch pot as the heliotrope makes
many fine roots they will sometimes, if
the pot is too small, form a ball which
is almost imperviOus to water. This
plant needs lots of water, but do not
let the earth become sOggy, for in that
case the leaves will turn brown and
drop. as is also the effect if the plant is
allowed to wilt for want Of water

Begonia-Vernon.

BegOnia-N Vernon is a fine pot plant as
it flowers continually. Not one flower
head but a Dozen The flowers being
a bright red are a beautiful contrast
with the rich, green foliage. | raised
mine from seed, it began to blossom
when it had but four leaves and has
never been without blossoms since.
Some advise using this plant for Dor
ders in the open ground, but when set
in a strong summer sunlight the leaves
turn red, which detracts great deal
of it's beauty, think. 1t is better to
water too little than too much, until
one becomes acquainted with its wants
in that respect. 1t is certainly sue
cess as n pot plant.-EX.

AT THE NORTH END.

The committee OF the city council
on street signs and numbers has a
guessing contest on its hands, and asks
for new names for streets in thissection
A new name is wanted for Franklin
avenue and Woodward square. As 10
the former many think the old name of
Hardenburg street would be a proper
one, for there never was any good rea-
son for taking from that highway the
name of an old and respected land
owner, formerly of Smiths hill. Few
see any good reason why Woodward
square, which is perfectly harmless
and save for the police station upon il,
OF little account should be renamed.
