SOME RARE WATER LILIES.
Huge Flowers to Be Exhibited in
Prospect Park, Brooklyn.
An Interesting Description of the
Victoria ReEia and Other Famous
BIossoms-CuItivnti the Plants.
Ponds Where They Are Grown.

The Victoria Regia is queer gun
among plants. A great gun, too. as they
know very well at Prospect Park in
Brooklyn. where there is the finest collec-
tion of water lilies in this part Of the
country.
There are three lily ponds in the park
over there. and they are just coming into
their glory. It's a deliberate plant. the
water lily Is. 1t least the aristocrats of
the family are deliberate. The beautiful
common herd, represented by the ordinary
pond lily, doesn't need so much coaxing
When her highness, Victoria Regia un-
folds the petals of her first blossom the
Industrious pond lilies have been hard at
II for almost two months. sending one
green bud after another UP through the
water, like SO many magic bubbles. which
break at the surface into blossoms.
The three ponds lie in the heart of the
rose garden; and it lies at the bottom of
a great green cup whose sides are thick
with rhododendrons and a bewildering
variety of trees. The spot isn't far from
the main entrance. The middle pond,
about forty feet in diameter, is the home
of the aristocrats. Two smaller ponds,
one on each side. are devoted to common
branches OF the family. The two small
ponds are radiant with blossoms. Those
in the large one are just coming out.
OF course, the queen of the aristocratic
gathering is the Victoria Regia. There is
a roll to the name which. once heard, is
not soon forgotten. The queen of the wa
ter plants even gets herself In big letters
on the signboards in the park. They say:

The Queen and Her Dogs.
(FrOm Our Animal Friends }

Victoria raised the Scotch collie to Its
proud position Of the most popular dog
In England-it having no mean reputa-
ton In Scotland. She owned and loved
two collies. Sharp and Noble. which ac-
companied her daily on her rides about
the country. When children came "a
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert they.
too, had their pet dogs. Perhaps the set
tiers and the spaniels were their best
known playfellows. Those dogs are
the princes and princesses. As house
dogs, the Queen found the Dandie Din
monts unmatched for faithfulness The
Skyes were also pets, both at Windsor
and at Balmoral Castle
one word we must say of Eos, the de-
voted and beloved greyhound of Prince
Albert She belonged TO the prince long
before his marriage. and then lived with
the Queen and Prince. The dog, with her
two puppies. was painted by the great
Lanoseer. and by another fine artist,
George Morley. The picture by Landseer
is one OF the most beautiful dog portraits
In existence. On the death of Prince Al
bert the effigy OF Eos was carved upon his
tomb.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Among the important twentieth CEN
tury reforms pressing to the front is the
establishment OF postal savings banks.
Postal savings banks are by no means
an untried experiment. They have been
established for years in European coun.
tries. notably In England, Austria and
Germany, TO encourage thrift and econ
omy among wage workers and safeguard
their hard earned savings. Incidentally
they have also proved 10 be an incentive
TO patriotism in giving each depositor a
direct personal interest in the preserva-
ton OF the national credit and the sta
bility OF government.
President McKinley's FIRST postmaster
general, Mr.. Gary, who was thoroughly
familiar with savings banks, managed
under private ownership and control,
endorsed the postal savings bank system
as amongst the most desirable adjuncts
Of the Postoilice department, The in
disposition Of congress to carry out hs
recommendations is chiefly due TO the
influence exerted by interests that fear
such banks would transfer a large vol
ume OF private savings bank deposits to
the government depositories.
Among the most earnest champions o
postal savings banks is Senator William
E. Mason, Of Illinois, who has en-
deayored during several sessions secur,
favorable consideration Of bill lookinl
to the early Inauguration Of posts
sayings bank system in this country ant
who can be depended on to press for
ward the measure In the coming con
gress with his usual yigor. During IN,
coming session, as chairman of th
senate committee on postotlices an,
posiroads, the Illinois senator, will h
more potential in securing attention
among his associates.
Such great innovations no matter hoY
popular or imperatiyely demanded, ar
not 10 be carried through congress a
the first onset. but require persistent
and steady effort by which alone th
objections and barriers raised may b
overcome. Fortunately for the friend
OF the postal savings bank, they have il
Senator Mason champion possessed c
indomitable courage and tireless aotiyit
who il properly supported will keep u

EDITORIAL.

In the case Of the State We. Henry
Sullivan, accused Of heinous crime
against his sister, no permission was
given 10 the father or to his counsel, or
the counsel Of Henry Sullivan to have
access 10 any Of the children except
under surveillance OF the officer in
charge. Monday all the children were
taken 20 Portland, under charge OF Mr..
Gardner Of the Boys and Girls aid -eocie-
ty, and the whole case seems to be under
bis control and management. 1t
was probably under his direction that
the County Judge ordered ell persons
kept away from the Sullivan children
and that the father was not even per-
mitted 10 have an uninterrupted confer
ence with his grownup daughters. Only
the worst and blacklist side OF the whole
matter is thrown out 10 the public and
thus the district attorney may secure a
conviction while the young man protests
his innocence, and the fact that Henry
Sullivan has been the main support OF
the whole family for years ought to
stamp the charge Of his debauchlng any
OF his sisters with at least Wholesome
doubt. That there is q conspiracy to
make the boy the scapeRoat OF
olhers who have debsuched some OF
the Sullivan family, and who are persons
of standing in the social and business
world, there can be no doubt. Henry
Sullivan Is a poor boy, with the facts ap'
parently against him, with no social in
fuences In his behalf, with no protection
against the prejudice that must have
been created in the minds Of the jury
by what has been published, and the
complete seclusion OF the witnesse'
for the state. II such means are
necessary TO get children into thu
care and keeping Of Mr.. Gardner's in
stitution, he deserves investigation mor'
than the Sullivan boy. In fact charges
we're brought against him from ClatsoI
county at the last session Of the legisla
ture that ought TO have ousted him from
his Job In the minds Of many people In
stead Of continuing the public graft he
enjoys. The district attorney nj
doubt doing what he thinks is righ
in proceeding to secure a conviction o
young Sullivan, but no such stric
regulations 10 shut out counsel SHOULD
be taken when persons are accused O
heinous offences. Their friends an,
counsel should have every opportdnit
TO confer with them and even with tn
prosecution. But here 10 case wher

HIS POLITICAL CAREER.

In 1889 the Republican party
nominated Pingree for mayor of
Detroit, and he was elected by over
two'thousand majority. He was re-
elected in 1891, 1898 and 1895 by in
creased majorities each time.
In 1896 Pingree was elected gov
ernor Of Michigan by 83, plu-
rality, running ahead of the nation
al ticket by $4,000 votes. He was
reelected governor in 1898 by
about hundred thousand plurality,
and served out the term, which ex-
pired in 1900. Last March he
started on trip to South Africa,
which resulted in his death at
London.
Former Governor Pingree, while
mayor of Detroit, accomplished
many municipal reforms, among
others forcing the gas company to
lower its rates 80 cents per thous-
and; establishing a public lighting
plant; organizing the Detroit rail-
way on 3-cent fare basis; lowering
the telephone rates, aAd breaking
up q number Of sewer and paving
rings that were thriving when he
came into Office. His potato patch
scheme for the relief of the poor of
the city was extensively copied and
brought him much fame.
While governor, Pingree devoted
his energies toward securing a law
taxing railroad and other corporate
property on an ad valorem basis i'm
stead of specifically on earnings.
His efforts resulted in the passage
OF law along these lines by the
last legislature.
Mr.. Pingree is survived by a
widow, son and daughter.
