THE AMATEUR GARDENER.
An Illustrative Example of What He
 Does Not Know About Gardening.

One of the recently married cou- ples rented house in the suburbs and started to housekeeping on their own account, relates the. Memphis Scimitar.
 They planted garden.
 Recently the husband was looking over the new vegetables as they were bursting through the ground, and with his wife was discussing the appearance of the different plants as they appeared above the ground, most of which were new to them.
 They came to the row of beans which were just shooting their heads into the air and marveled that the seed should be thus thrust up. It appeared to the husband that the or der of their appearance was re- versed. f-
 He. yondered the matter over and, after giving it due consideration, decided that it would be pity to have the beans ruined through their ignorance of the proper manner of coming through the ground.
 To save them this catastrophe, he pulled them all up, and reset them with the seed underneath, where he thought a good seed should be.

and the clock stopped. noticed it was about half-past 12. I called for help, but no one answered. After awhile everything became quiet. I went back to bed, but could not sleep.
 "The next night some friends re- mained with me. The same occur rences happened, I saw the cloud again and heard strange voices. My companions heard the voices, but they did not see the cloud. They were very much frightened and left the place. Next morning my nerves were com pletely unStrun6. I determined to move from the old homestead, and in the afternoon I went to live with my cousins in New York,
 While I experienced great relief from the change of scene, I Ionged to be back in Netcong. Last week I re- turned. For several nights everything was quiet, but now it is as bad as ever. At midnight on Monday I was awak- ened by a sound like a pistol shot. It was the breaking of my stove. This was followed by crash of glass and a vision of black shadow, which came up through the floor and disappeared through the window. My father often said that he would haunt the place if his will was in any way contested.' BreaIhless and without either hat or coat, Mannion rushed into the rectory of St. Michael's church, to which he belongs, and told Father Mccormick that while he was at supper his cup broke and his bread vanished from the. table. He asked the priest to visit the house. pr. Mccormick did so and re. mained for several hours. Nothing happened during his stay, but imme- diately after his departure, according to Mannion, the lamps went out, the tables danced, the windows rattIed and the cupboard flew open.
 A strange fatality seems to rest on Che whole Mannion family. Five years ago old Mir. Mannion became blind and his wife a cripple for life. Later on two of their children were drowned. and another was burned to death, while another-a daughter-and her sweetheart were ground to pieces by train.

He is not tired of stage work and is not con- vinced that the public is tired of him, but wishes to leave the stage while still in favor. "I am going to get out in a year." said MT Wilson. q have spent a good many years upon the stage making folks laugh, or trying to, and have accumulated enough of wealth and real estate to keep me comfortably. It's time, moreover that the young fellows were given a chance haven't decided just what I will do but will probably spend a year or so abroad Then I'll come home for a long stay. A man who makes his living upon the stage does not get much of an opportunity to live much of home life, and that is what am beginning to yearn for I want to make my last season a memorable one. I have not selected any opera for next season, but have looked over several, and have more to review in the next few days. have not chosen cast yet, but want to get together about the best group of singers that have gone out of New York in several years. It will be an all star cast. Ev- cry man and woman in 1t will be of national reputation. At the end of next season will close my theatrical career I've got money enough, and if the next season is as successful as the last few have been will have every reason for retiring"

 The tour of "Ben Hur" was brought ito close on Saturday evening last in Hartford, where the weeks receipts are said to have footed up the remark 
 than was ever drawn in the bustling Connecticut city within a similar space of time. As matter of fact, the career of 'Ben Hur' has vastly outstripped all records shown by in- door amusement enterprises since such things first began to exist in this coun- try or abroad. Next season two com panies twill illustrate General Lew Wallace's story upon the stage. One of these, with brand new equipment of scenery and costumes, will travel through the principal cities, while the other is to open the season of the re constructed New York theater, making use of the large pictorial setting pre- pared for the London run of the play at the Drury Lane theater.

MADE DEAL ON DEATH BED.
strange Transaction Between Will liam Rockefeller and the Late
 Marcus DaIy.

peculiar business transa ction in which William Rockefeller and the late Marcus Daly were concerned has just come to light. It seems that when the Montana copper king was lying at the point of death he had on deposit in the National City bank one account amounting to $197,99 and special account of $1,3o0,51s.
 A singular thing in connection with the special deposit of $500, ,51s in the National City bank is that it was opened only a few days before MT. Daly's death in the form of a check of William Rockefeller for money which he owed to MT. Daly as result of transactions in which both men were interested, but the nature of which is not disclosed, says a New York report.
 1t is understood that it was MT. Daly's intention to use this money in the purchase of the Amalgamated Copper company, of which he owned at the time he died 67,3oo shares
 Claims amounting to $1,6oo,ooo are pending against MT. Daly's estate, "AAC OAAcA oA WhIcA IS III bu dcGlou brought by the United States against the estate to recover $1,365, ,o00 for trespass on government lands and the conversion of timber removed from it. P. J. Shields also has a claim against the estate for $25s,0oO He claimed to have been partner with MT. Daly in a coal mine and some other enterprises. John H. Ma loney and others have an action pending in the Montana courts to recover $50o00. .>
