French Society Fighting War of
Roses,

IT is said that discussion which bids
fair to cause a schism in the National
Horticultural Society of France has arisen
in connection with the origin of the
Marechal Mel rose.
Some contend that this beautiful, rose
was grown by the distinguished soldier
himself hence the name.
others maintain that after the return
of the victorious Cener9l from Solferina
and Magenta an humble admirer sent
him a basket of rare roses. These the
warrior shared with the Empress Eu-
genie.
Upon learning that the name of the
flower was unknown. Her Majesty re-
joined "Then I will give 1t name. 1t
shall be the Marechal Mel"
According to this theory Eugenie's
words not only baptized the rose but
conveyed the news to the gallant officer
that he had been made a Marshal of
France.

tanning a perfectly black angora. The
black cats are the most valuable and after
them the pure white are most sought after.
The cats bear transplanting wonderfully
well and with common sense to aid can
be carried around the world.
On Jan. rs second cat show will be
held in st. Paul as an adjunct to the
poultry show. AS this show lasts ten
days, the Minneapolis cats will not be
present at all. The time is too long. and,
if the management would consent to have
the cats exhibited for two or three days,
the decision might be reconsidered. Ten
days on show will demoraliZe the best
cat ever raised, if it doesn't kill her, and
an angora cat with long, silky fur, quaint
pointed face, bright eyes shining out of a
soft cloud, her feet daintily shod with
long tufts of down and her pointed ears
graced with more tufts, is too valuable
to be offered as a sacrifice for any poultry
show ever contemplated.

OBJECTION OVERRULED
Foreign Corporations Not Barred il
II. Nj. Roberts Case.

Foreign Corporations Not Barred in
Il. M. Roberts Case.
Judge Lochren yesterday affirmed a
ruling made by Referee Merriman in the
T. NJ. Roberts case and affecting some
200 claims. Objection was made to many
claims on the ground that they were
claims of corporations which had not COM
piled with the Somerville law relating to
foreign corporations, such corporations
not being entitled to participate in the
proceeds Of the estate. Referee Merri
man overruled the objection and allowed
the claims.
The claims against the estate are d.
vided into four classes. Those of cor
porations which maintain places of bust
ness in the state, those of corporations
whose business with T. M. Roberts was
transacted entirely by mail; those of
corporations whose business was trans
acted by travelling statesmen; those Of
corporations whose business was trans
acted with T. NJ. Roberts personally at
their places of business outside. of the
state.
The large claim of the Bradley Cordage
company of Dayton, Ohio, a principal for
eign creditor, had already been allowed
as belonging to the fourth class. Mr..
Roberts went to Dayton, bought the goods
there and borrowed the money in that
city.

Rural Free Delivery Men Said to
Be Poorly Paid.
THEY GET $500 AND KEEP HORSES
Two Or More Animals Are Needed
and They Eat Into
Profits.

Pay which the rural free delivery car
riers receive is considered Inadequate and
efforts are being made to secure an in
crease of salary for these men. A car
rier whose route is in another state read
in T h e o 1T a of the difficulty AS
sistant Postmaster Hughes was expert
encing in securing carriers for certain
routes at $500 a year, with the prospect
of keeping one and perhaps two horses to
cover twenty-five miles a day. He was
moved to write of conditions in his dis
trict. Routes out of the town number
three over as good roads as any in the
country. He keeps four horses and finds
they have all they care about doing. Says
he:
The men that do the most talking about ru-
raj free delivery have only a slight idea Of
what it means to drive twenty-five miles
day. II they ever drove horse at all, it
was likely one that would step a mile in at
least three minutes. They figure that such
can be picked out of any old herd of western
horses for SIS or $780, and keep the three-1nin-
ute gait up for a week without break.
1t might be If we would stop at noon and
feed, taking eight or nine hours to make the
rounds, that two horses would stand it for
quite while, but then there would be much
discomfort because we were late to the last
man on the route. He would quit free de-
livery and go to town for his mail. Now we
make our trip on an average of five hours
We always wait for the morning mail, which
comes on a freight, the farmers get a
daily paper and some two a day. We have
never gone out without the daily papers, and
every patron is pleased with the service.
! More are coming in on the routes all the
time.
About our salaries-I'll tell you some of the
costs, and you figure; don't like to figure:
First-Three hundred dollars for horses.
If they are high steppers they would cost
$3.50 or $1,000.
second-Thirty dollars for buggy and
that second hand.
Third-Fifteen or twenty dollars for
harness and that secondhand.
Fourth-Twelve dollars for rent of
house and barn.
Fifth-Forty cents for oats and go cents
for corn, and from So to $40 per ton for
hay, and let the horses go without any
bed. How long will it take carrier to
starve to death and pay for his outfit at
$500 for every 315 days?
