FLoR1cULrURE POINTERS.
of Flowers According to
the Harmony of CoIors.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
In our last talk about the planting OF
bulbs, we said: The wise amateur will
soon find out that flowers alone will not
make a garden charming There must
be an arrangement of them along the
lines Of harmony to get the desired eff
feet
Now all of US know, colors must be
harmonious, or else they will lose their
value Every one of US has an idea
about which ones look we'll together,
and yet, there is no defect more COM
mon than that of the arrangement of
flowers and of the proportion in the
manner in which flowers of similar coll
Ors are distributed. Sometimes the eye
is struck by blue or by white, some
times it is dazzled by yellow; add to this
defect of proportion the i'll effect result
ing from the vicinity of many groups
of flowers which although of the same
kind of color are not of the same sort;
for instance: Last spring I saw a bril-
liant golden yellow tulip side by side
with a nareissus which is of a pale
greenish yellow;in autumn you often see

Improving the opportunity.

From Harper's Magaz1ne.l
My small nephew was ready to start
on a Compromised weeks visit to his
grandfather in the country. There was
an exasperating delay in the appear
ance of the carriage to take US to the
station. The young man worked off his
impatience in various annoying ways for
half an hour, then suddenly he was seen
to knee1 beside a chair in the corner and
bury his face in his hands. After a few
minutes his mother said:
'tWell, Kenneth, what are you doinga"
Just getting my prayers said up for
while I'm going to be out at grandpa's 5.
There's nothing to do here, and I spect
to be pretty busy while I'm there"

Social affairs.

w w. Hayes entertained dozen
OF his friends at pedro party on
Thursday night Three tables were
run. Delightful refreshments we're
served and the evening was most
pleasantly spent A number of the
best players in town were present
and some of the contests were very
spirited ones
Rev. and Mrs. J. l.. McCutcheon
entertained the members of Mrs.
MeCuteheon's and DIR. Reynolds
Sunday School classes at their home
on Sunnyside on Thursday evening
from eight to ten. The Young peo-
pie numbered about thirty and spent
the evening very enjoyably. Re
treshments were served during the
course of the evening
The Whist club met ats the home
Of Prot and Mrs. Ellefiberger on
Thursday evening. The first prize
was taken by Miss Maud McVicker
and the second by Mrs. S. G. Chad
wick. Lunch was served by the
Delicatessen during the evening.
None of the social events that take
place in town are more thoroughly
enjoyed than are the sessions Of this
club.
A rare literary treat. an unforget-
able evening, little CLEAN OF light
and soul and color there in the dark
ness, such was Mailman Barbe's
reading last night.
Some twenty or more had been in
sited BY Misses Clark and Daniels
to be present Mr. Barbe read sew
eral stories from his lutte book, I'm
the Virginias, ending with s'The
Preacher OF Three Churches. This
selection is so true, the characters
are so well drawn, and the humor SO
daintily all peryading it has
so much to tell--that those who
heard Mr.. Barbe read it, will store
the memory away with other golden
things.
Yet, If this was pure gold Of what
ethereal treasure were the poems re-
fined? Surely that was
where the wild thyme blows;
Where oxlips and the nodding violets
grow,
Quite overcamped with luscious wood
bine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglan-
tine,
and the fancies were spun in the
kingdom of choice spirits. The
Watch in the Night, The Noun
tain Boy" THE Morning Gate, and
'sCredo' mark the higher air that
true poets breathe The ssCredo''
and ''The Mountain Boy" are vet
unpublished, SO those present last
night had an especial favor. MT
Barbe's wish shall be---is--granted
his rhymes and roses lie FIR With
in the Morning Gate and many
shall still pass that gay and see
them.

nothing in the report, turther than
that he may do so If matters can be
arranged to his satisfaction. He,
however, states that Kansas has an
option on his services tor the coming
season, but hardly thinks that the
Jayhawkers will close the deal In
the meantime he is looking around.
and at the same time considering
offers from several oeher colleges.
Yost's success as a coach has bord-

coaching a smaller team or two and

COAL LAND DEAL
Closed Thy Senator Camden Over
Twenty Thousand acres Leased.

Senator Johnson n. Camden
was in Baltimore yesterday, says the
Baltimore Sun, closing up some inn
portant leases of coal lands for the
Monongah company which is the cor
porate owner of the extensive coal in
terests of the ex-senator and his as.
sociates in West Virginia. Later in
the day he left for Miami, Fla, where
he will spend the winter.
The coal lands of the Monongah
company include over 10000 acres
lying on both sides Of the ,Monongahela
River railroad in the Fairmont and
Monongah districts OF West Virginia.
One lease was made to the Watson
syndicate, which already turns out
about 1900, 900 tons Of coal year in
this territory. The land leased in
cludes the Gypsy property of about
1900 acres and the syndicate will put
in modern coal mining plant with
capacity for about 500, 900 tons of coal
year. Hutchinson Bros. leased 900
acres and several more concerns Sc
cured tracts of from 300 to 400 acres.
1t is expected that during the pres
ent year the new development which
will be carried on in this field will in
crease the output from 5000, 900 tons
produced last year to 5000, 900 tons.
Since the sale Of the railroad property
which was also owned by the Monon-
gah company, to the Baltimore and
Ohio new impetus has been given to
the coal development.

William Franklin the murderer of
Harry Braine at McClellandtown was
taken through Mofgantown on Friday
morning by Detective Alex MeBeth Of
Fayette on his way 80 Unientown
where he has been placed in Jail
The killing was done in the new coal
field OF Fayette county where there
are hundreds Of desperate characters
and where crime is running rampant.
The two men had been quarreling for
some time and they had gotten into a
fight Braine cut Franklin in the
neck making horrible cash and
nearly severing the jugular. The ra-
zor which was used in the scrap didn't
go quite to this vein ana the wound
ed man escaped death.
He staggered cut of the shanty and
obtained Il gun. Returning he placed
the weapon in a crack and killed his
antagonist In cold blood. The man
who was shot lived only short time.
Franklin got his neck dressed aud
then struck out forthis state
He crossed the river at Point Mari
on on Wednesday night and walked
to Morgantown getting here early In
the morning. While there he was
seen by several people and talked
with them. They did not know of
the killing at that time and he left
on freight that pulled in about nine
o'clock.
He went 10 Little Falls on this and
boarded The passenger at that place
going TO Fairmont Here he attempt
ed to get on TO Il freight and became
engaged in an alteration with the
yard master. The latter had him ar
rested and he was found 30 be the
man who was wanted at Uniontown
Policeman Shoemaker made the
arrest. Detective McBeth who was
at Point Marion looking for his man
was wireds for and he went up last
night to bring the man down this
morning. They came in on the
eight thirty.
The murderer who was a fat good
natuled looking colored man was
seemingly proud Of the attention he
was attracting and talked freely TO
the people who went into the car TO
look at him. He said nothing OF the
killing but told Of his movements af-
ter getting away.
He will likely get good salty dose
as the people down there do not stand
for any foolishness when it comes to
crimes OF this kind.
