spacious grounds of the residence of
Christian Heurich, 1907 New Hampshire
avenue. Work has already begun. 1t
will be modelled after the gardens of
the same character in Dresden, Stuff
CART, Vienna, and other cities in Ger
many, Austria, and France.
The first part of the work is on the
fence to surround the grounds. This
is under way, and is being pushed rap
idly. On the Sunderland place side the
fence is to have a concrete base three
feet high, bringing it level with the lot,
surmounted by handsome wrought
iron fence, six feet in hight. The
fence at the rear and on the alley side
will be seven feet,of solid concrete and
topped with coping of red Spanish
tile. AT the front will be a wrought
iron fence, designed, like that for the
Sunderland place side, to offer little OBJ
struction to the view from the outside.
On the corner distant from the two
streets is to be erected pretty cottage
to be occupied by the gardener. This
will be finished in gray pebble-d
with red Spanish tile roof.
The lot, which is about 100 feet wide
by 225 feet in depth, will be laid out
in typical German fashion. Winding
paths, little pergolas, and cozy little
hooks will be planned and created by
AASAA A%ONHiAlcAllIl, dll 6Ap6Il SdTQener,
formerly of Austria, engaged by Mr..
Heurich to carry out the work and to
have charge of the garden when final
ly established.
The real feature of the garden, more
than all else, will be of the introduce
ton in it of the dwarf shrubbery and
fruit trees, the successful growth of
which has come to be an art in Eu-
rope, especially in the German empire,
in Austria, and in France
The system of dwarfing the trees and
in so doing directing the energies and
the strength of the tree-plant into fruit
has been in operation in Europe for
about fifteen years, the discovery hav-
ing been made by a French fruit Gull
turist. Little concerning it has been
known here, or, at least, little along
the line of such development has been
done by American gardeners. Many
of the trees attain no greater hight
than three or four feet. With most of
these, branches are favored and train
ed run off to the side for many feet.
The yield of fruit on one of them Is
exceptional, equaling often in the ag-
gregate that of fair-sized tree of the
ordinary character. For the support
of these heavily laden limbs and for
the training of them especially struc-
tural iron is made in the Countries
where the culture has attained vogue.

Segment of this iron. it having passed
the custom house in New York last
week
The shrubbery and trees have been
ordered, and they are expected to he
shipped from Dresden in about fen
days. At the outset a good part of
the planting will be in dwarf shrubs.
Fruit trees also will be put out. on a
number of which Mr.. Heurich homes IN

Herr Lochmann, who will have care
of the garden, is an expert in the new
fruit culture science. as well as a gar
dener with a broad knowledge of his
profession and artistic ideas in land

One William Howard Mills has been
giving the e. A. r. readers of the
Washington, D. c., Post, a roster of
living Confederate generals. The relia-
bile chara cter of his work is readily dis
counted by such living generals as

could mention others but these are
enough to show how unreliable his ros-
ter is for any purpose. Then he locates
Gen. e. Porter Alexander in Savan-
nah instead of his South Carolina
home; Gen. Evander McIver Law is
put at Yorkville, s. c., and yet has
resided at Barlow, Fla, for years; Gen.
Robt p. Maclay is located at Cooks
Landing instead of Anchor P. o., La;
Gen. Samuel w. Ferguson is set down
at Greenville, Miss. which he left

led his roster from some old printed
list. he being entirely ignorant of the
fact that many of the generals were
dead and many others had changed
their places of residence. But this is no
excuse for printing roster that is so
misleading in regard to many generals.

25.-The color line in the United States
army has at last been obliterated. The
time was when only cadets at West
Point, the appointment of Republican
congressman, stood any chance to get a
commission in the regular army, and
but three of these cadets succeeded.
One was dismissed from the army, an
other died and the third is detailed
as military instructor at a colored col
lege. 1t is true that President Cleve-
land appointed a negro as chaplain,
but it was for a colored regiment
There are two of these chaplains with
the colored regiments. But B. o. Da-

A recent writer discussing What is
Full General?" objects to the use of
the term general when it is applied to
a major general or a brigadier general
or lieutenant general. That is all
right If you want to split hairs" but
common usage allows the practice to
which he objects. This writer. how
ever, falls into an error when he says
George Washington was never a full
general; that "as commander of the
Continental Army he was a major gen.
eral." Now, be it known, that in June,
IT'S, while the Continental Congress
was in session in Philadelphia, it pass
ed resolution making George Wash
ington a full General and Command
er-in-Chief of all the continental
forces, raised or to be raised. for the
defense of American liberty" In 1899,
after he had been president, Washing
ton was made a lieutenant general of
the United States army, and also Of
fered the rank of full general, which
he declined. Maj Gen. Winfield Scott
was not, as this writer says, a lieuten-
ant general, that rank being given him
simply by brevet. which does not
count.
I recently stated that Rev. DR.. John
W. Heidi of Atlanta, but formerly of
Savannah, had two sons in the regular
army. Capt j. V. Heidi, who failed to
graduate at West Point, but enlisted
as a private and won his way to a
commission, and First Lieut.. Grayson
V. Heidi, who graduated at West Point
later on. Now comes Second Lieut.
Gil. V. HEIDI, who went in as a private
and won his commission by a fine ex-
animation at Fort Leavenworth. This
puts three sons into the service, a
rather remarkable record. There are
three Jerveys in the army, all West
Pointers, two appointed from South
Carolina and one from Georgia, but
1 think the parents live or did live
in Atlanta. There are also two Atlanta
brothers, the Hoyles, in the regular
army. Gen. John NJ. Cuyler, surgeon,
and son, of Savannah, and Gen. Henry
0. Wallen, Sr., and son, of Georgia,
were in the army at the same time.
But the Heidts-all having the middle
name OF Grayson-break all records
and show pluck and perseverance
unexcelled in army history. They seem
to have inherited the pluck and "go-

father. who was at one time solicitor

He is man of boundless energy, and
his sons have displayed the same quail
ity in winning their lifetime commits

AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Men and Women and Their Effect
Upon Public Meetings.

American audiences are strangely
alike in some things and strangely dis
similar in others. A good committee
will take as much pains in the ar
arrangement of its audience as of its
speakers. An audience seated without
crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Mel
Their is an audience whose hands are
occupied with bundles or umbrellas, an
audience largely composed OF women
or an audience i'm cold room. The
easiest audiences to address. the most
responsive and inspiring. are those
composed of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression OF
their emotions than men. Every
pubIic speaker is conplimented by
their presence, knowing that their
uuiet word at home is oftentimes more
effective in results tnan the most en-
thusiastic shouting on the street cor
ners by the other sex. In pubic

| OBJECT TO SMOOT.
Salt Lake Ministerial Alliance
Adopt Resolutions
Setting Forth Why He Should Not
Be United States Senator.
Say He Is Mormon First, Last and
Say He Is a Mormon First, Last and
All the Time.

! Salt Lake City. Utah, Nov 2f.-The
Ministerial Alliance of Salt Lake,
| Monday, adopted resolutions strongly
opposing the proposed election to the
| United States Senate of Reed Smoot,
one of the II apostles of the Mormon
church. A copy of the resolutions will
be sent to every ministerial alliance of
prominence in the country at once and
probably to President Roosevelt, every
| congressman and united States senator
and others prominent in political life
The resolutions in part follow:
I'VE protest against this endeavor to
elect Apostle Smoot to the United
States Senate as an endeavor to force
upon the citizens of Utah a union of
the church and the state.
THE election of a man who holds
the highest office save one in the gift
of the Mormon church to the highest
office save one in the gift of the peo-
pie of Utah or the United States would
be a menace to our civilized and re-
lisious beliefs. No other church has
dared to attempt such an ecclesiastic
invasion Of Congress.
THE election of Apostle Smoot for
the United States Senate would actu-
ally be the election of the will of the
Mormon first presidency and II apostles
to that body.
LAS a consistent member of the Nor
mon apostolate, Apostle Smoot cannot
make an important move without get
ting permission or taking council of the
quorum of Mormon high priests to
which he belongs. By virtue of his
apostolic VOWS he must act first as Il
Mormon apostle and second or third
as citizen OF Utah and patriotic
American.
We protest against the proposed
election CT Apostle Smoot to the United
States Senate because the majority of
the Mormon apcStolate, to which he
belongs, and with which he works in
harmony, are living III polygamous re-
lations in violation of covenants made
to the people of the United States as
well as in violation of the criminal
statutes of Utah.
THE Mormon apostolate stands as
one man before the community as di-
rectly or indirectly encouraging or con-
niving at the continuance OF polygam-
Gus relations throughout the Mormon
church. The vigorous and rigorous
rigorous execution of law like the Ed
nunds-Lucker law in this state would
drive the Mormon church and the ma
ior;ty of its apostles into exile or throw
them in prison within IL months and
APOSTLE Smoot dare not oppose such
polygamous conditions"
