On the wrapper of parcel left in the
room by the murderer was written in PEN
ell the name of Fred c. Belano," and I'M
derncath the name II. Totterman.' The
detectives reported from Bridgeport that
the schooner Fred {. Belano was lying at
that port and that sailor named Totter-
man had been discharged from her on Sat-
urday.
They also obtained good description of
the man who on Saturday purchased a pair
of shoes and sweater from Meigs 4 Co.
Furnished with this description, detectives

GALAX Is EXTENSIVELY

II Has Come to Be One Of the Staples
fer Holiday Decorations.

iof f1olluay DECORATIONS.
The nse Of galax in commercial quantiI
ties fer Christmas decoration dates back
only 10 1900, yet today the plant is known
and used the world over and last year
no less than 10000, 900 galax leaves we're
shipped from the mountains of North and
South Carolina. The Country Life in
America Christmas annual tells the story of
its discovery:
Il first SAW galax," says the writer, in
the Blue Ridge mountains OF Southwest
ern North Carolina, above the clouds and
80 miles from the railroad. When | was
boy. we sent these beautiful eyergreens
IN small mail packages to friends and rela-
iiyes. For many years at Christmas il was
the custom Of the church Of the mountain
village TO send to a hospital in Philadel-
phia large box filled with green and
bronze ga'ax leaves, as we'll as rhododen-
dron and many other bright winter leaves
and ,wgs for the shut-in sufferers.
In later years. about 1900, remember
ing the appreciation Of the galax leaves, it
occurred to me that were these leaves
only well known, there would be steady
demand for them. a campaign Of adver-
Using was begun from North Carolina in
the very heart OF the galax section Of the
all over the United States. At first the
florists took to them slowly, but evidently
galax made its way on its merits and in
stead OF thousands being sent away, the
number reached into the millions-until
the coming season a hundred million is a
safe estimate OF the number that will be
picked and sent ont from this section, with
many foreign countries, particularly Ger
,nlany using their share.
The industry is OF untold benefit to the
native mounaineer, as it requires the time
OF thousands Of pickers during the late
winter months to supply the demand. Every
member OF the family, from the father to
the little boy or girl, who learned to walk
last year, is able to earn good wages, so
light and easy is the work. 1t is no uu-
