Most Expensive Tree In the world.


Probably the most expensive tree IN
the world is in the City of London, on
the corner Of Cheapside and Wood
street, about midway between the
Bank of England and st. PauPs. 1t
is an enormous oak, and is said to be
100 years old. 1t is protected by
clause in the deed Of the property
which forbids destruction Of tree or
branches. Architects were compelled
to plan a rather peculiar building to
avoid the branches. There 1t stands
in the corner of one of the busiest
streets in London, occupying ground OF
enormous value-and positively the
only tree in the City Of London out
side of the parks.

When Rnmnnn Kissed.

Rowena, the beautiful daughter of
the Saxon Hengist, is credited with
having introduced kissing into the
British islands. The Romans had a
really delightful word for a kiss-Oscu-
lum, which came from os, the mouth,
and meant a little mouth, a sweet
mouth. "Give me a sweet little mouth
would be the phrase used when a good
little Roman boy asked his mother for
q kiss.

THE BATTLE ROYAL
Minstrel Stars, Once Friends are
Now Enemies.
Lew Dockstader and His Partner
Fighting Over a Managers
Discharge.
INJUNoTIoNL EVERYWHERE

Many people in Fsducah know and
admire Lew Dockstader, who has
played here, and is one OF the best
known and most popular Ministries ON
the American stage, and his trials and
fluctuations will doubtless interest
them to some extent. II is the most
unique legal battle ever waged in the
realm Of minstrely now on between
George Primrose and Lew Dockstsder.
James II. Decker, the manager of the
company. furnishes the cssus belli.
Hostilities commenced in New orleans
and have continued in other Louisiana
towns. Now the scene Of war has
been transferred TO Mississippi. In
every town played it is case Of race
between Decker and Primrose to see
which can get out an injunction first
restraining the other from interfering
with the conduct Of the show. Dock.
stader is stringing his with Decker.
Manager Decker has an iron.bound
contract with the firm Of Primrose
and Dookstader. This partnership ex'
lists under an agreement which has
but two months more to live. Il was
understood between Primrose and
Dockstader when the show started out
last fall that Primrose was TO retire at
the end of the season. Dockstsder de-
termined to continue the company and
arranged with Decker TO prolong the
season and manage his troupe for him
next year. Primrose il said 10 be q
very rich man, but IL seems that the
idea that Dockstader was to remain
on the road with Decker as manager
prejudiced him against the latter. At
any rate, when Decker went TO New
YORK from birmingham, Primrose
wired him his discharge. Decker
wired Dockstader and Dockstsder re-
scinded the Primrose dismissal Deck
er rejoined the company. Prim.
rose told the company to take no or
ders from Decker. Dockstader told the
minstrels TO take orders from no one
else. Lawyers were called in.
Monday night the troupe showed in
Baton Rouge. Primrose got out an
injunction in the Louisana capital re-
straininR Decker from attempting to
exercise the functions of manager.
Wednesday the troupe played in
Jackson, Miss, and Decker scored
first blood by securing an injunction
Primrose from in any way
interfering with him. Primrose ooun-
tered with another injunction. The
are that injunctions will be
the rule in every town played.

HERE'S HOW
THOSE MILL1oNAIRES NJ
THINGS-TRAIN FORCED
TO RETURN 22
MILES.

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 13-Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt tried to board the
Southern's Palm limited at Piueland,
thirty miles from Savannah. As the
train drew near the station three or
four persons were seen ON the plat
form, evidently waiting to board it.
The engineer smiled, and without
touching the throttle let the train
continue her rapid way Savannah
ward. In the party ON the platform
was Mrs. Vanderbilt, who had decided
to run down and spend the night ct
the country home of her brother. r.
T. Wilson, Jr., near Button. She
intended to make the trip via Savsn-
nah. But the fact that the limited
had passed her by didn't worry her in
the least. She had Mr.. Vanderbilt
telegraph to Vaudeville, the next reg
ular stop, and have the train ordered
back. Hardeeville is twenty-five miles
beyond Pineland, but the order was
obeyed. The train reached Savannah
at 1915, and the Vanderbilt party,
probably thinking nothing of further
delays or inconvenience, went direct
from the depot to the dock at the foot
of Bull street, where they expected to
