A Rose Tree 1000 Years old

Boston Traveller: One of the most
interesting curiosities In Germany is
the rose tree at Hildesheim, which is
more than 1000 years old. Its exist
ence can be traced back TO the time of
Charlemange, and it, is a fact that it
was mentioned az n curiosity in old
chronicles Of the ninth century. 1t
twines around a large part Of the an
cient cathedral of Hildesheim, near
Brunswick, and with its countless
blossoms presents in the season an en-
trancing spectacle. This venerable
witness from bygone ages has been at
tackled by some insidious insect that
threatens it with destruction. The
Hildesheimers, TO whom the roses are
a sacred heirloom, have summoned the
best authorities in a~rboriculture TO
their aid, but the fate of their tree fills
them with anxiety.

HE KISSED HIM AND WEPT.
Willie X, Sr.'s, Meeting With His
Boy, Harold.

From n New York Letter: What will
William X. Vanderbilt, ST., do next?
Everybody in the smart set would like
to know. Saturday at Newport he
Rugged and kissed his boy, Harold,
float, and wept a little over the
youngster beside. All Newport won
ders whether he will speak next to the
boys mother, Mrs. 0. H. p. Belmont.
Mr.. Vanderbilt took a small and select
party out Saturday ON the Valiant to
see the race between Vigilant, Defend
er and Navajo. Laughing and joking
the party came ashore in the launch.
On the other side Of the boat was n
pretty half-rater. Harold Vanderbilt,
William KS youngest son, was just
discriminating from it. Father and son
came face to face.
Hello Pop!" cried the boy, running
up to him.
Hello, Harold" replied the father.
who's boat is that?"
That's mine, Pap; I'm learning to
sail it,"
For an answer the father seized the
boy in his arms and kissed him
hungrily half a dozen times. Even the
old skipper had to turn his head aside.
II used TO have n boy myself once"
he said, "but he was killed in the war"
There were tears in his eyes and in
Mr.. Vanderbilt's, too. The boy, as all
Newport knows, lives with his mother
now, who is divorced from Mr.. Van
derbilt and married to o. III. p. Bel
mont, with whom her children live.

Determining the Value ofPear,s.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: THE
value of pearls is to a large extent ar
bitrary," said a New Orleans ieweler.
ut depends chiefly Oh qualities that
are peculiar TO each specimen and can
not be classified. For instance, two
pear-shaped pearls that are exactly
alike would bring four or five times as
much per grain as they would sepa-
rately, and when a dealer gets hold OF
one that has some very peculiar and
attractive color he puts whatever
price upon it he thinks he can get.
About a year ago the purser of one of
the steamships running out of New
Orleans bought a large pink pearl
from the cook of the vessel. He gave
him SIS for it. The cook had bought il
from a negro at Aspinwall for Il flask
of whisky worth Is cents, so he made
a good profit. The purser showed me
the pearl, and while | wasn't certain
of its value, i offered him $25, but he
declined to sell. A few weeks ago he
had a Maiden Lane gem buyer among
his passengers and asked him to put
a price on il. The New Yorker gave
him 500 without haggling a moment,
and / have no doubt secured n very ex-
cellent bargain. j mention the Incl
dent to show how values run in that
particular line. i may add that near
ly all the oyster pearls found in this
vicinity are worthless. In fifteen
years experience / have never seen
but two that were worth setting"

THE CLEVELAND BOYCOTT.
Unpleasant Features Connected
With that Decentralization.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: The hus-
>and of the washwoman at the home
of President Henry Everett was dis
charged from his position in q cooper
shop at the corner of Bessemer avenue
and Francisco street for no other rea-
son than that his wife worked q day or
two a week at the home of the Big Con-
solidated company's president.
A day or two ago a young woman,
who is a nurse in Lakeside hospital,
boarded n car to visit her aunt, who
lives out Broadway. When she alight-
ed from a Big Consolidated car at the
corner of the street on which her aunt
lives a man stepped up to her and in a
rough manner said: "You better not
ride on them cars again If you know
what's good for you. You better take
this advice and let them cars alone.
something may happen to you if you
don't stay off them cars" The young
woman spiritedly replied that it was
none of the fellows business whether
she rode on the cars or not, and she
proceeded on the way to her aunt's
home. The next day she received a
telephone message from her aunt tell
ing her that when she came out TO see
her again not to ride on a Big CONSOLE
dated car, as since her niece's call she
had not been able to buy anything in
the neighborhood. All the storekeep-
ers in the vicinity had been notified
not to sell the aunt goods, for the rea-
son her niece had ridden on a Big Con-
solidated car.
One county Office, that of the county
recorder, has taken part in the boy
cott against the Big Consolidated road,
and the employees Of the office will not
ride on the Big Consolidated cars rs
long as the strike lasts. No formal or
der to that effect was issued, but the
employees of the Office were given to
understand that they must find some
way of getting TO the Office other than
riding on the Big Consolidated cars.
One of the young ladies in the office,
who lives east of the city, has been
compelled to drive back and forth in
a buggy, as there are no buses operat-
ing in the vicinity of her residence.
Recorder Siegrist yesterday denied
he had issued any orders forbidding
his employees to ride on the ears, but
he admitted hat he was aware hat
none of them are patronizing the Big
Consolidated road, and that il was his
wish that they should not do SO.
II cannot compel my employees to
keep off the Big Consolidated cars"
said Siegrist, 'and have issued no or
ders to that effect, but as far rs l know
nome of them are riding on the cars at
present. A number of the girls in the
office have bicycles and do not ride ON
the cars anyway. | have not been rid
ing on the ears since the strike began.

suppose that my employees have fol-
lowed my example and are keeping Off

George Meredith and Women

London Mail: In spite of his ex-
IRENE deafness George Meredith is
still an ardent admirer of women con-
versationalists. Among other bril-
liant ones of their sex, Mrs. Barry
Pain and Mrs. j. NJ. Barrie have es-
pecially won his commendation; the
former having been called by him the
cleverest woman in England, and the
latter the best of women takers. OF
women who are especially literary,
Mrs. Meynell has perhaps inspired in
him the keenest admiration. After one
of her visits to him he is reported to
have said of his interview with her:
I'VE waltzed together on celestial
heights
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1899-09-02

young Captain G%rosvenor came along
and asked him to go up country and
manage the Cobalt mines in Mapocks
Land, he was only too glad to accept
the handsome salary that was at
tached to the position.
But making up their minds to go
and bidding farewell to their beauti-
full home were two very different
things to the Lynns. Little Dorothy
was simply broken-hearted, for all
her young life had been spent among
these hills and glens, where every
thing that lived and breathed and
blossomed seemed to do so for her spe-
cial benefit and delight.
NOW the country round about was
swarming with Kaffirs, and they all
knew Dorothy and worshiped the very
print of her little feet in the mead
ows She had her Sunday class, her
sewing class and her little band of
katiir Sisters, whose duty and delight
1T was to visit the sick with medicine
n flowers, and above all with kind
messages which very often carry heal
ing on their wings.
And what would become of old
mi Nop, VIM was a hlllu III IL CulCl
over the Kaffirs for miles around, and
who was known everywhere as the
Guardian of the Falls?"
HE was growing old, and at times
he was sick and feeble, but he had
watched the Little Kosana,' the prin-
cess, as he called her, grow up from
her mothers arms. She had come and
gone among his people for many years
with her bright little face and her
merry laughter. So it was no wonder
when the old man heard she was GO
ing to leave them that he tore his hair
and his blanket, rushed over to Doro-
thy's house, sat down on the doorstep
and buried his head between his
knees.
Dorothy came out at once and spoke
comforting words to the old chief; but
it was of no use, he refused to listen,
although he could see the tears in her
eyes as she spoke.
"'No, no, MOI he exclaimed at last,
why must you go? Do you think they
will care for you where you are GO
ing, as we do? Oh, Kosana, do not
leave us, and / will show you that one
old Kaffir, at any rate, has n memory
and a heart. Look now, here is the
Kafiir's memory. You see this old
black breast of mine, with the two
long straight scars on it. Well, 1 tell
you they are the work of my own
knife and my own hand. This is the
II | made when your father brought
my boy back from the city and
knocked the chains from his feet, and
this deep n right over the heart /
cut when you were nursing the Kaflir
girl, the little Intombi, through the
long, dreadful fever; and over the
blood that flowed from the wound l
swore that this old Kafir was ready to
die If only to keep your little white
feet from stumbling. Believe me, Ko-
sana, a Katlir has a memory

70 FOLLOW HIS FATHER.
Willie Waldorf Aston, Jr.. Soon

Willie Waldorf Astor, DR., Soon TO
Become n Subject OF the Queen.
New York-A London special to the
Journal says.
William Waldorf Astor, jr, whose
father recently became a naturalized
British subject, despite his recent ut
terances to the contrary, will renounce
his American citizenship and become
a member Of her majesty's household
cavalry.
The person of the queen is protect
ed by three regiments of cavalry and
three of infantry. Those mounted
are the First and Second Life Guards
and the Horse Guards, while the in
fantry are the Grenadier Guards, the
Coldstream Guards and the Scot Fusi-
liersr When the queen appears in
public this guard escorts her.
Young Astor, if he succeeds in get.
ting into the exclusive body, will be
allowed to prance alongside the
queens carriage, waving a sword and
giving orders to his men in the shrill
treble voice which is a part of his
American training.
The. First Life Guards wear a scar
let uniform, with blue facings and
brass breast plate and helmet, the lat
ter with white plumes.
The colonel-in-chief is the Prince OF
Wales, and the colonel who really does
the work is Prince Edward, Of SAKE
Weimar. Prince Adolphus, of TeclS
also puts on the uniform once in @
while and parades with the other
scions of nobility.
If scarlet suits the youthful Astor's
complexion, he may join either the
regiment mentioned above, which is
known as "The Reds" or the Second
life Guards, which dresses in the same
way and also has the Prince of Wales
for its chief colonel and Earl Howe
for it's secondary colonel. Both regi'
ments have good war records. They
fought well AT. Dettengen, in the Pen
~insula, at Waterloo and at Tel-El'
Keber.
The Royal Horse Guards, or "Bluse,'
wear blue uniforms, with scarlet fac
ings. Red plumes wave from the
crowns of their helmets. They also
have the Prince of Wales for their col
onel-in-chief and Viscount Wolseley
for their other colonel.
Young Astor will find it rather hard
to live upon his pay as a second lieu.
tenant in the household cavalry. II
will amcunt-if he gets into the serv'
ice-to 6 shillings and s pence, or, in
+ plain American, SLIGO a day, an equiv
alent of 1854 "a year. The colonel OF
the regiment receives only about
$500 n year, a major less than So q
day, a captain So and a first lieuten'
ant $15 a.week.
The smallness of the pay is atoned
for by the eXclusiveness of the socie'
ty. That will be a compensation tc
Mr.. Astor, who will meet princes and
mobiles, but what compensation there
will be to those who have to meet Mr.
Astor does not appear.
