Chang Chih Tung is said to be the only
yiceroy of the eighteen provinces who mas
not used his office to feather his own nest.
He is the one honest provincial omciai
who has not diverted the imperial revenues
to his own profit. He is worthy of the ad-
miration of the peoples of other nations,
because he is thorough patriot and is
working for the good Of his people. HIS
methods may not fully succeed and may
have to be modified. but his ideas are
broad minded: and though more foreign
aid may be needed to carry them out than
Chang admits. they are undoubtedly along

beat and remained there for an unreasona-
BILE length of time. He was warned not to
repeat the offence. Policeman Fraser was
charged with the same offence and his at
tention was invited to the warning in the
case of Pearson.
Policeman Ready was charged by Ser
geant Robertson with violating the section
of the police manual which prohibits the
members of the force from taking a drink
of intoxicating liquor while on duty. The
sergeant stated that Ready had entered
two barrooms in his beat and he had seen
him take a drink in one OF these places.
The policeman stated that he did not take
a drink and had not entered any of the
barrooms. The bartenders at these places
and the persons who were in there at the
time corroborated Ready's testimony.
Major Sylvester recommended that the man
be fined S.. TO be paid on or before the 5th

POLICE TRIAL VERDICTS.
The commissioners Punish a Numbe,
of Delinquent Bluecoats

The District Commissioners today an
| proved number OF reports from the Trial
Officer of the Police Department on the
cases of the policemen who have been
tried before him during the last month.
Policeman z. II. Hawkins was recon-
mended TO be removed from the force
1t is alleged that this officer grossly ne
elected his duty on December ., by enter
ing hack and covering himself with a
lap robe. He was found by Serge ant Dun
nigan, who reported the matter to the
lieutenant in command of the precinct
This report was sent TO the Superintendea IT
of Police, snd tine charges were then made
out.
Hawkins said that he had been ill for
some time and was seized with chilIs
while on duty. While on his way to the
stationhouse tc report sick he had seen
two hacks standing together and he STEP
ped into one Of them. The sergeant found
him there and the charges were the re-
suit.
Major Sylvester stated that the officer
had, on one occasion, permitted a prison.
er to escape, and had grossly neglected his
duty in the instance when the charges
were filed, therefore. he recommended that
the man be removed from the force.
Policeman J. N Barry wandered from
his post of duty to lunch room one night
early in the month in search of cup of
coffee. Inspector Pearson saw him leave
his beat, and got to the room and waited
for him to come out. Charges of neglect
OF duty were fled and the trial officer rec
commended that the policeman be fined S.
Barry stated that he had received permis-
sion from the inspector to visit lunch
room two years ago, but that he had not
been in the habit of leaving his post for
that purpose. He is regarded as a very
efficient policeman otherwise the action
with which he is charged would have prob
ably resulted in his transfer to less i'm
portant post Of duty.
The charge of neglect Of duty against
Policeman J. A. Pearson was sustained
before the trial officer, but the circum-
stances were such that the Superintendent
thought that a warning to the man not to
repeat the offence would be better than
6ning him. 1t appears from the evidence
that Pearson entered lunch room on his

A GREEN cARNATIoN.
The Odd Flower Produced by nm EN-
eraId COlOrinG Solution.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.)

tFr0m the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
Alexander Klokner, the florist, is grow
ing green carnations. Mr.. KlOnkner fit
upon the idea by accident. One day a
number of years ago, by the way OF expert
ment, he placed a white carnatiou in a
bottle of carmine ink. After while he
was surprised to find that some Of the
ink had been absorbed by the stem and
worked Its way into the flower. producing
a pinkish color. The discovery suggested
to the mind of the Hungarian gardener the
idea that white carnations might be treated
with chemicals while growing and made to
produce colors other than those which
nature had seen fit to give them. He be-
gan to experiment with an emerald chemi-
cal preparation on white carnation plants
in his hothouses. and. soon found, to his
great delight that he could produce green
carnations. The treatment Of the plant,
he says. must take place when it needs
fertilizing or watering and before the flow
ers have attained their full development.
The operation is simple enough. provided
one has the requisite chemicals. Mr..
klokner removes little Of the earth from
the root of the plant makes an incision in
the root. injects the chemical. and replaces
the earth around The root. The plant all
sorbs the chemical with the moisture. and

S75 Ridgeway Avenue. the victim of tu-
berculosis. For several weeks prior 10 her
death she had been treated for the disease
by Elder John Spichert, of Zion Taberna-
Gle. at 1901 Michigan Avenue. For this
reason the police of the Lawndale Station
have asked the coroner to hold an inquest
to ascertain il there is any blame attached
to the parents of the child or the elder

father of the child. is a firm believer in
the doctrines expounded by DIR. Dowie,
having been cured. he says, Of tuberculosis

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-The stock market

ports that the gold shipments on Satur-

been anticipated were current. and there
was some disposition TO discount a proba

The most active features of the market
in the early dealings were the granger

last named was particularly strong. and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit also advanced aft

refining was heavily dealt in and was
somewhat reactionary. London's opera

because of the fact that the Atlantic ca
