MULBERRY TREE
Piantsd On the Spot Marked by
ADELAIDE NELSON.
March s, 1850.

Many have supposed for years that the
tree was planted from clippings brought
from the famous mulberry tree at STAFFORD
ou-Avon, where the trees have been pyopa-
nted for years, being known to be the
poets favortte tree.
When Miss Nelson selected the site for
the tree she promised Mr.. Henry Shaw that
she would send to him the slips on her re-
turn to Europe Miss Nelson. in passing
through England. confided the task to some
Of her American friends and then went over
to Paris, from where word soon came that
ths beautiful actress had passed away.
= One OF her friends to whom she had con-
Aded the task Of securing the cuttings at
Dtratford secured them. His companion was
Charles Read. tho novelist. and Read un-
dertook to send them to St. Louis.
his friend. after all these intervening
years. had his interest revived in the matter
the other day. and from Florida he sent
word to The Republic asking whether these
clippings ever reached st. LoLAs, and wheth-
ef the Nelson tree, as it stands in Tower
Grove Park. came from Stratford.
WRITES THE REPUBLIC.
In his letter Miss Nelson's friend says:
when Tom Garrett, then dramatic ed
itor Of the then Missouri Republican. spoke
to ~ about Addie Nelson's desire to get
these clippings. went down to Stratford
and, through q letter from Charles Read,
-eno, author, succeeded in getting several of
these slips and forwarded them. through
him. to the city of St Louis. where they
were to be planted in Tower Grove Park.
Read was consummate egotist and made a
bungle Of 1t. and sent them in his own name
to the Mayor Of New York
What / should like to know is whether
they ever reached st. Louis. or were they
planted In Central Park. New York? It
may seem strange to you that have wait
ed % long to make this inquiry. but have
had very busy life and have Just now got
around to It"
The story Of the slips as told by Mr..
James Quincy. the veteran superintendent
OF Tower Grove Park. to The Republic yes
tsrday is interesting.
remember the day as though 1t were
yesterday" said Mr.. Quincy. when the
beautiful Miss Nelson came out with Mr..
Henry Shaw. the donor Of the park and my
self to see the Shakespeare monument and
select site for a memorial tree
thought. Of all the beautiful things in
tne garden. 1 had never seen anything so
graceful. 90 charming as she Her voice,
too. was Ike liquid music She was very
fond Of flowers and Mr.. Shaw was delighted
with her appreciation of all he had done.
MISS NELSON SELECTS SITE.
when We got to the monument Mr. Shaw
asked her to indicate the place to plant
the tree. She suggested point Just behind
the monument, in direct line with the
center Of the Mall I can see her now,
daint1ly stepping behind the statue to get
the center.
There she finally exclaimed, I think

Training Russian Policemen.

There is policemen's college in st.

force. There is museum combined
with the school where the pupils make
themselves familiar with the tools of
criminals jimmies, drills, chisels aad
contrfVances for robbing collection
boxes, special field Of Russian
thieves. The Russian passport system
Is studied in detail. The duties of the
dvorniks, sort of assistant police, are
taught. They keep watch on the resi-.
dences, report on the habits Of tenants,
their visitors, examine the papers Of
newcomers, and direct them to report
themselves at the police station. The
members of such clever and compli-
Gated system need careful instruction. ;

social amusements without getting

it's expensive" said Officer Roberts.
AS he finished speaking, the bar
tender came back with the cigars and a
tray loaded with beer and whisky The
liquor was distributed around on little
tables at which the boys and men in
the audience were mostly seated. AS
the curtain went up to the music of
the orchestra there were about $50 in
the room and stream of newcomers
noisily entering. Before the first song
was finished. the hall was filed to suf-

AS the entertainment. if it could be
called such, went on, John Gordon's soul
was stirred deep with a red FLOODED
indignation. After the first two or
three vulgar songs, which We're fol-
lowed by some suggestive dances, he
sat there practically hearing and see
ing nothing on the stage. The audi
ence had become the absorbing study
for him. The people! There they were!
His choice! To serve and to love! But
was it worth while?

The Vicksburg branch of the de

following crop summary:
The mean daily temperature ranged
considerably above normal the fore

Light to moderate showers were gen.
eral over the state on the 9TH.
Cotton picking was only slightly
Interrupted by the rain and has gem
orally made rapid progress; on up
lands the staple Is practically all
open while on the loland it continues
to open very fast and in many locali-
ties prematurely; and there has been
no Improvement in the yield.
Corn gathering is in full progress,
the yield being unusually good.
Hayiig continues in some counties.
but as a rule, it is obout completed.
Peas and sweet potatoes have gener-
ally Suffered considerably as a result
Of the dry weather, and over the CEN
trail and eastern portions of the state,
fall crops are almost failure. The
rainfall has benefited pastures some
what, but scarcity Of stock water
continues general.

MUST WRITE GOOD ENGLISH.
The University Regents Do a Little
Resolving Themselves.
From fridays Daily.

One candidate for a masters degree at
the university of Minnesota failed to re-
ceive the coveted honor. He handed his
thesis to the faculty, and the paper was
returned with a note saying that he was
undoubtedly well acquainted with his
subject, but that his construction and
spelling were so poor as to destroy oil
interest in it. This student has already
received his bachelors degree and is OF
pure American descent, which fact leaves
no room for excuses. The matter was
considered so deplorable that the board
of regents adopted the following reso-
lution:
Resolved, That from and after 1904
every person admitted to this university
shall be examined in reading, writing
spelling and composing the English Ian
9uage; that all who fail to obtain a
credit of IS per cent shall be required
to take instruction as provided, and that
no person shall ever receive any diploma
OF other certificate of merit or proficiency
until he shall have passed such eXamina-
ton and obtained the specified credit.
