INTERNAL nACHINE PLOT.
DastardIy Scheme to Blow Up an hi.
nOis Sheriff.

Carmel, ILL.,, Aug. 1S.-An at.
tempt to kill Sheriff Eugene Ack-
erman by an Internal machine was
prevented by the watchfulness of
the sheriff S wife. A candy bucket
was sent to him from Evansville,
Ind. and when the lid was opened
another lid was found inside. Mrs.
Alderman thought best to remove
the screws from the lid and this
act undoubtedly saved the lives of
those present.
Besides the sheriff and his family
several of his friends were in the
room. Upon the removal of the
lid some wires were found. Then
the second lid was cautiously re-
moved exposing four sticks of
dynamite arranged with matches
and cartridges which would have
exploded if the bucket had been
opened as intended. The authori-
ties at Evansville were notified and
special meeting of the council
and board of supervisors has been
called to take action in the matter.

MAKING MILLIONAIRES.
A Process That Is Too Common In the
Great steel Trust TO Cause
Much Excitement.

"As / was standing in the outer
Office of the new steel trust in Pitts
burgh," says an anonymous writer
in Citizen and Country, Il discovered
the process by which millionaire is
made in a moment.
Zone of the directors. who was act
ing as my guide through the build
ing, called my attention to a man
who was waiting to be shown into
Mr.. Schwab's private Office. That
man. said he, SIS about TO be made
a member of the company, though he
has not yet been told of his good
fortune
1.-The prospective millionaire GER
tainly did not look his part. He was
dressed in the working clothes of a
mechanic. His hands were hard and
grimy and there were several black
smudges across his face.
"He was about 40 years of age,
with a face that indicated thought
fulness and discrimination. He had
somewhat of fatigued look, as If he
had been working very hard over a
difficult problem.
"Under his arm he carried roll
of blue prints, at which he OCCASION
ally looked with a nervous, earnest
glance He is about to submit the
drawings of a new invention to Mr..
Schwab,' said my friend, the director.
1.-THE door of the inner Office opened
and a boy in uniform beckoned to
the inventor. After he had gone in,
the director said: Let us wait hero
and congratulate him. He will not be
inside more than a few minutes. Mr..
Schwab doesn't require much time to
transact business
1--WE waited little more than ten
minutes, and then the inventor reap
peared, still hugging tightly his pre-
cious blue prints. There was slight
| flush on his sallow cheeks, but other
wise he seemed too businesslike to
/ be affected very much by his sudden
acquisition of riches. Hastily shak-
| ing hands with us, he hurried away,
to catch a train he said.
81 suppose he'll go home now for
| a week and celebrate said i. In
deed he will not replied the director.
He will go directly back to his work
| in Homestead. He has been promoted
| from the foremanship of a depart
ment, and will now take charge of an
entire plant. His salary has been
! multiplied several times, and he has
| in his pocket large block of steel
| trust stock; but he will be too busy
| to celebrate
So it appears that to become mil
| lionaire is too common to exhilarate
a man.

Japan IN AMERICA.
Quaintest Bit of orientalism i'm This
Country I'm N New Jersey
suburb.

Near Mountain Station. New Jer-
sew. suburb of South Orange, is
perhaps the quainteSt bit of orient
alism TO be found on this continent,
says Youths Companion. Here a
party of slillful Japanese gardeners,
calling themselves the japanese Hor-
ticultural society, have laid out
Japanese garden as a permanent eX-
hibit of their native fora. The gar
den is situated at the base of the
Orange mountain, in little clump
of woodland. Its four acres are sur
rounded by bamboo fence, inge-
niously built without nails, yet strong
as any American fence.
Inside that barrier the visitor finds
all the curiosities he would see in
similar garden in japan itself. Stone
lions, pedestal bearing a stone
lantern over two hundred years old,
done by noted japanese sculptor,
and a statue of Jizo, Buddhist saint,
regarded as goddess, are some of
the treasures which Japan has
parted with in order that America
may enjoy few of the privileges
which she herself prizes so highly.
There is an artificial lake in the
garden, spanned by three different
kinds of Japanese structures. BY
the side of this lake, closely Gagged,
lives a tsuru, or crane. The bird
is about five feet in height. 1t is
said to be an exceedingly rare bird,
few specimens being found outside
the royal palace and Imperial Zoolo-
gical gardens.
According to the Japanese, nature
does not give to the tsuru a red
Gro !. n until he has reached the age of
one hundred years, and as the years
advance the color deepens. The red
headed tsuru is therefore an emblem
of longevity in Japan. This New
Jersey specimen has a very dark red
topknot, and is supposed to be about
three hundred years old.
In that respect the tsuru is more
than matched by one of the plants
in the garden. This is chabo-hiba,
one of the oldest on this continent.
Its age is given as seven hundred
years. No wonder it is valued at ten
thousand dollars.
The original trainer OF the tree is
not definitely known, but is sup
posed to have been one Genho, who
was the most famous artist during
the later period of the Kamakura
regency in the twelfth century.
The tree came into the hands of
| the family of Suzuki about the mid
| die of the sixteenth century, and has
been handed down by them to the
present time. It's trunk is seven
inches in diameter, and its height is
only four and half feet. It belongs
TO the cedar family, and has foliage
resembling sprigs of ferns closely
set together in the form of cone.
Sometimes the unbeliever questions
| the age of the plant, but such over
whelming evidence is offered in
support of the Japanese gardeners
assertion that the objector is si-
| fenced.
A Japanese tea-house, where real
japanese tea is served by japanese
girls in their native costume, and a
Japanese jinrikisha are among the
attractions of the garden.
