CARNATIoN GROWING.
In California Conditions Are Different
From Any Other Place.

'Carnation growing in California means
something very different from that enterprise
in any other part Of the world" said z. s.
Busby Of Los Angeles to q Star man at the
Arlington. For the past twenty-five years
the carnation has grown steadily in favor,
as the florists have improved their methods
OF hybridization and propagation and have
made great strides especially in the per-
lection Of the flower on the Pacific coast,
where the climatic conditions are 50 favor
able for the most difficult experiments. In
all places save California. and possibly
France, carnation cultivation involves q
large capital since the best plants must be
nurtured under glass. This means, In the
eastern states, out-of-dOors growing during
the summer months. but under cover during
the long winters.
"All visitors to California know the
famous Redondo gardens, and they are q
sight worth travelling thousands of miles to
see. There the flowers are raised all the
year round in the open, and in such Quanti-
titles and Of such magnfficence that they
leave a lasting impression.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
YOUNG MANS EFFORTS TO TAKE
HIS OWN LIFE.
Swallowed Carbolic Acid and Then
Turned on the aas-His Re-
covery Probable.

Roy W. Aler. thirty three years old, en-
ployed in a store as clerk. was found In an
unconscious condition in his room at his
home, GIL NJ street northwest. about
o'clock this morning He had swallowed a
small quantity of carbolic acid and had
then turned on the gas. Physicians were
summoned and the man was restored to
consciousness. This afternoon 1t was stated
at the house that the sick man was still
in a serious condition, although his recov-
cry is expected.
A brother Of the sick man died at the
government printing office from a hemor-
rhage only short time ago. Aler reached
home last night about 10 o'clock and went
to his room as usual without saying any
thing to the members of the family. This
morning he failed to appear at the break
fast table, and when 1t was thought he
should get up in order to be at his work
on time his sister went to his room to as
certain the cause of the delay. She found
that the gas was turned on and she imme-
diately sent for assistance.
DR.. Stricken was summoned ana ne
found Aler's condition to be critical. HIS
mouth had been burned with the carbol1c
acid and the gas had also taken effect. 1t
was believed that the acid had burned his
mouth to such an extent that he could
not swallow enough of 1t to end his life,
and that he afterward turned on the gas
The family physician was summoned
later in the day, and, as already stated,
it is believed the young man will recover.
The cause Of the attempt is attributed to
dependency over the death OF his broth
er several weeks ago. The brothers. it is
stated, were very greatly attached to each
other, and Roy has brooded over his loss
ever since 1t occurred.
1t Is also stated that the young man has
been somewhat alarmed Of late because
of symptoms Of lung trouble.
Aler lives with his mother and two sis
ters at GIL NJ street northwest.

Four Bay Trees for White House.

-Four large green Dutch bay trees, stand
Ing In large tubs. have been placed on the
front portico OF the White House, and will
be found there by Mrs. Roosevelt when she
comes back. They were purchased for the
adornment Of the White House grounds by
r. H. McKim, the architect who had
charge of the rejuvenation Of the White
House. and cost over $500 each. They were
secured from a New Jersey nursery house,
and were imported by that house from
Holland. They cannot be raised in this
country owing to the climate, but live, If
carefully handled, after they have become
grown. The green bay trees attract gen.
eral attention. The leaves have the smell
Of bay. number of other trees were
purchased at the same time, and will be
placed in the White House and grounds.
Owing to the height Of the trees they
could not be shipped straight through from
New Jersey over the Pennsylvania railroad.
The tunnels on that road would not per-
init the passage Of the large car in which
the trees were put for shipment here, and
the car went westward and came back
over the Chesapeake and Ohio. The top
Of Long bridge was too low to permit the
car coming under that structure and the
trees had to be unloaded on the south
side of the bridge and brought here.
