JURORS WHO
CONVICTED GUITEAU.
Eight Are Still Alive Notwithstanding His Curse
Upon Them.

Washington, Sept. 13.-IThe attempt
to assassinate President Mckinley has
recalled the history Of the Guiteau
trial and conviction and has suggested
the correction of a reported error In
regard to the fate of the jury that
condemned the assassin to the gallows
nearly 20 years ago.
Time and again it has been publish
ed that all of the jurors are dead; that
some of them went insane, while 9th
ers have come to untlmely ends
in some way. Guiteau, at
the time the verdict was
rendered denounced the jury In terms
that made the cold chills run down
the back of all in the Washington
court room ut the time. but only
four of the famous jury have passed
away. The other eight are living in
this city.
The trial and peculiar incidents sur
rounding Gulteau's efforts to escape
the penalty OF the law have all become

The Queens Garden.

When the fair Princess Alexandra first
set foot on English soil at Gravesend,
nearly forty years ago. she was greeted
with a posy of English blossoms.
Throughout the busy, strenuous life she
has lived, from that far-off day to this,
her Majesty has ever found recreation in
q deep love for flowers
At Sandringham her very boudoir is a
garden crowded with choice blooms, over
hung with dainty palms. set in a frame
work OF fragrant roses, exquisite violets,
and the tender lilies of the valley that
nature rears for her IN wild profusIon in
the silent dells of Wolferton Wood And
when the Queen desires richer feast of
fragrance she has but TO cross the corri-
dor and to enter the long conservatory
where her favorite blossoms are always in
season. For her tastes are catholic and
she loves her winter roses as ardently as
the Malmaisons of the early summer. says
the London Mail"
The outlook from the terrace front Of
the hall is very charming. Shallow grass
slopes break up the descent to the level
of the lakelet, which is embosomed in
leafy verdure. At one end of the terrace
broad beds of hardy ANIMALS are laid out
IN a trim arabesque design. whose formal
fly IS broken up by hag1 vases. which
themselves are sometimes filled with pyra-
mids of blossom

Farther away in the park her Majesty
has anCtner garden. IL surrounds the en-
chanting dairy, ivy clad, rose embower-
ed. where for many year she has spent
morning after morning with her daugh-
tiers, amid the serene delights of butter
making. AT one corner OF this chalet
there Is tearoonl, to which on mellow
afternoons her Majesty has been wont to
invite her intimates.
Measured by mere acres, the flower gar
den may be surpassed in hundred coun-
try houses throughout England. But it
is multum in parvo, and since about
eight years ago the area under glass was
enlarged, the produce of the garden, in
the skillfu hands of Mr.. Mackellar, has
been amazing. No less than 200 feet of
glass are allotted TO the raising of violets
of every hue, in two recent seasons 20
set. and from one bank of roses, four feet
in height, 10000 blooms have been gather
ed in a single morning.
Here may be seen every tint of red,
from the palest of pink bushes to the
deepest crimson, and II was with a clear
knowledge of her Maiesty's preferences
that the bouquet offered to her the other
day in the Temple Gardens was built up
on scheme which had for its foundation
the new variety of the crimson rambler to
which her own name has been fifty given.
OF late her Majesty has admitted exam
pies of Cape flowers into the select coterie
which she permits to grow around her,
and her latest acquisitions ars some ele-
giant iris-like ixias from the Transvaal.
There are no glass houses at MarlbOr-
ough House, and the simple flower Dor
ders that relieve the broad eXpanse of
trim grass are maintained by contract
with an experienced firm of gardeners.

Vain to the Last.

There is a story of a beauty who when
on her deathbed gave Instructions that as
soon as she died her maid should deli
cately rouge her cheeks. whose beautiful
tints had always been her own pride and
the envy of female acquaintance. par
allel is found in the case of the Countess
de Castiglione, who died recently in Paris.
In the days of the second empire the
countess was noted beauty, but for
long time had been a recluse. In her Will
she left minute instructions as to the
manner of her burial. They were not
carried out as she died suddenly and
was buried before her executor could ar
rive from Italy. Here is an extract from
her will:
My old nurse alone shall be admitted
to see me when am dressed in the man.
ner which l herewith set down: Batiste
nightgown of 1857. long lace gown striped
with black velvet. The pearl necklace
with six strings of white pearls and three
strings of black pearls: the necklace

two VS. interlaced and u crown. All the
costumers know this ornament. Bare feet
and bare arms. AT my feet my embalmed

ket of burial clothes. At my neck, with

Miss Mclaughlin. in speaking about her
experiences and work along this line, de-
scrihed it as follows:
