White House since the time of President
Hayes when Head Gardener Pfisters ad-

that the beds of flowers were seldom view

To this President Arthur formed the one
marked exception, for busy though he
was, he snatched many spare moments
from his work to get down into the gar
den. Sometimes he entered into a CONVEX
sation with the gardeners to the laying
out of beds, the selection of flowers, and
he often made suggestions showing his
own tastes in the flower line. Another
friend of flowers was President Harrison.
General Harrison evinced a decided inter-
est in his garden during the first spring
of his administra ton, but his work ac-
cumulated, and after the first season the
gardeners rarely caught sight of him. The
same holds true of Miss Cleveland, sister
of the president, who was the lady of the

HUTCHINSON OPERA HOUSE
Will Try the Lottery Scheme to Build
One For the City.

Hutchinson, April s.. Hutchinson
wants a new opera house. The old one
has long since been inadequate to the
demands made upon it. And so some
of the pushing men of the city met and
resolved to have a new one. They de-
cided on this plan:
They would put up $4,000 cash in
prizes to be drawn at q grand diStribu-
ton concert to be held in the Auditor
ium, on June 1 and 2 next. The ad-
mission to the concert will be by ticket
and these same tickets will be used in
the drawing. The stub of the ticket
sold is retained by the opera house
company, who have charge of the
scheme. The tickets will be put in a
big wheel and drawn out. In another
wheel will be list of the prizes, and
by this means the prizes will be distrib-
uted. In addition to the 81 900, prizes
are divided as follows. First prize,
$1,000; second prize, $500; third prize.
$500; fourth prize, 5000. all in gold; fifth
prize, 500 government bond; sixth
prize. $500 full blooded imported Jersey
heller. In addition to these prizes, there
are over 1000 other prizes, varying from
the finest suit of clothes that can be
put up to a sow and pigs and sheet OF
music.

A LESSON FROM HoBoKEN.

IFrom the Baltimore News.1
We have become so accustomed to
hearing New Workers speak of Hoboken
only with jest and derision that it is
with some surprise that we turn to
Hoboken for a lesson in municipal gov
eminent. At a recent convention the
Republicans endorsed a Democratic
nominee for city comptroller, and the
other day the Republicans in one ward
nominated a Democrat for the city
council to run against the regular
Democratic candidate. This part of the
Republican party of Hoboken repre-
sents the reform element that is try
ing to force out the Democratic ring
now in power, and it's action has been
endorsed by all the good government
organizations of Hoboken. OF course,
the Republican organization holds up
Its hand in holy horror at these acts of
open treason" to the party, and the
Democratic ring expresses the same
feeling toward the traitor who has ac-
cepted a Republican nomination. But
the reform Republicans seem to have
come to the sensible conclusion that
there Is no reason why a man who be-
lieves in free trade and free silver can
not pave streets and keep order as well
as the man who believes in a protective
tariff and a gold basis.

MUCH FRICTION
Between American and Canadian Off,
Gals at White Pass.

Victoria, B. c., April 5.-Considerable
friction still exists at the summit of
White Pass, between the American and
Canadian officials. Two weeks ago,
Captain Cartwright, of the mounted po-
lice stopped two American customs men
acting as consorts to a party carrying
liquor into Atlin. c. L. Andrews, deputy
United States collector at Skaguay, has
retaliated by stopping all in bound
shipments. Orders have been given by
him that all Canadian liquors are to be
put in the United States government
bonded warehouse at Skaguay and kept
there until an understanding is arrived
at. He sent to Inspector Cartwright
and asked that officer to go to Skaguay
to discuss the matter, but the inspector
has sent a reply saying he has nothing
to arrange and thus the matter rests.

HOW GILBERT WENT.
Clay County Murderer Will Work in
the Deapest Mines.

LFrom the Clay Center Times.1
Sheriff Cooper took John Gilbert to
Lansing Friday morning, Is hours after
Judge Glass pronounced the sentence
death by hanging after one year, sub
ject to the governors action.
During the entire trip not one sign of
regret or remorse was perceptible on the
stoIid countenance of the murderer, who,
as he sat gazing moodily from the car
window, viewed for the last time the
rolling prairies and wooded streams.
Few words passed between the officer
and his charge, the matter uppermost
in their minds being entirely ignored.
When their destination was reached
Gilbert was turned over to the proper
authorities who took him in custody.
When last seen by Mr.. Cooper the pris-
oner was marching up one of the peni-
tertiary thoroughfares with his hands
crossed on his chest. A guard on either
side accompanied him. Murderers are
generally sent into the mines and 1t is
probably there that Gilbert will spend

A FLORAL FAD.
TFrom the Philadelphia Press

[From the Philadelphia Press.
Philadelphia florists are going in for a
new horticultural fad, in which none
but the wealthy can indulge. 1t is the
importation Of the dwarf evergreen
trees, which come from certain portions
Of Japan.
The trees range in age and size from
shrub 100 years old, measuring two
and a half feet, to plant of five years
old. doing itself proud at two inches.
These miniature pines are thorough
delight to the art lover. They are per
fectly formed and shaped in every de-
tail. Exact copies of North American
evergreen, with knotted trunk and
twisted limbs.
The dwarfing could be done just as
well in this country as in Japan, but our
florists haven't the necessary patience.
And small wonder, for the work OF
dwarf1ng often lasts twenty years. 1t
is handed down from father to son, as
an industry toward the daily bread. Our
florists prefer to import the remarkable
little green things at good round prices
wherein lies the bread and butter of
many Japanese.

ACROSS THE KAw.
Leavenworth and Johnson Counties
Will Build a $4,000 Bridge.

Leavenworth, April 5.-A large steel
and iron bridge which will cost in the
neighborhood of $13, 900 is to be built
over the Kansas river opposite the town
of DeSoto on the south side of the river,
the north terminus to be near Lenape
in this county.
The object in building the bridge at
this point" said Joseph Bleakley yes
terday, lis to give the potato raisers
on the north side of the Kansas river
a chance to ship their potato crop by
way of the Santa Fe railroad. 1t is
claimed by the citizens of Lenape and
vicinity that the Union Pacific railroad,
which is the only road on the north
side, has a monopoly on the shipment
of potatoes, there being no competition
and that it has been in the habit of
charging exorbitant rates"
The building of the bridge will bring
it into competition with the Santa Fe
and it is claimed the rates will be much
reduced thereby. 1t is also claimed it
will be a benefit to the two counties by
the commercial relations which it will
establish between them.
The bridge when completed will cost
between 81, 900 and $4,000 and will be
built of iron and steel. A special law
WAS passed by the last legislature Civ

PLEA OF SELF DEFENSE.

bors Near Garden City.

Garden City, April 5.-The jury in
the Pitts trial, after being out about Sc
hours, returned a verdict of not guilty.
There was great indignation, and with
in four hours after the return of the
verdict, Pitts took the first train east,
bound for Illinois. 1t is rumored that
he was advised to do so, and not to re-
turn. 1t has since been learned that,
had he remained in the county over
night, an enraged people would proba-
bly, have handled him roughly. This is
the eighth murder in Finney county
without a conviction.
Pitts killed the Majors, father and
son, and was tried separately for each
murder, being acquitted both times on
the plea of self defense.

VIGOROUS LANGUAGE
Used by Gen. Wilson IN Describing
Cuban Priest

Havana, April 5.-Mgr. Santander.
bishop of Havana, at the suggestion
of Governor General Brooke, has re-
moved a priest in Cabezas parish, prov
ince of Matanzas. This request is the
first intervention by the military in &c
clesiasticaI affairs. Maj. Gen. Wilson,
military governor of the department Of
Matanzas, wrote to headquarters that
the priest in question was "a drunken,
worthless, dirty old scoundreP'; that he
had pastured his horse in the cemetery
and let the consecrated enclosure go to
weeds, and that If the bishop did not
remove him he (Gen. WILSON, would
eject him on his own responsibility.
Gen. Wilson was requested to make a
report on the case in a different form,
which he did. The latter was referred
to Mgr Santander, with a recommends
ton that he take proper action, and
this resulted in the removal of the Of
Tending priest.
