Electricity and Plants.

Recent experments of the Massaclfa- sets agricultural college tend to show that atmospheric electricity acts as a stimulus to plants, and has much to do with their development and conigura- ton. It was found during the experi- ments that at distance of 30 feet from the ground the air, for about nine-tenths of the time, has a positive electric charge. The differences of potential be- ing the earth and the air ranged from 75 volts negative to 300 volts positive. Ini thunderstorms the potential of the air frequently changes from positive to negative, and vegetation often becomes charged.

He stepped to meet her and then bent and kissed the hand she ex- tended toward him with all the grace of the old regime, and Seymour, com ing upon them, was entranced with the picture.

lEFT to himself for a moment, fA the colonel heaved deep sisS=SssE sigh. He had premonition ~ of what was coming and then paced slowly up and down the long hall. In his early youth he had been a soldier under Admiral Vernon with his old and long deceased friend, Law renee Washington, at Cartagena. Later on he had served under Wolfe at Que bee. A visitor, and welcome ope, too, at half the courts of Europe, he looked the man of affairs he was. NIn spite of his advanced age he held himself as erect and carried himself as proudly as he had done on the heights of Abra- ham or in the court of St. Germain.
 Too old to incur the hardships of the field, Colonel Wilton had yet offered his services with the ardor of the youngest patriot to his country and pledged his fortune, by no means in- considerable, in its support The con- gross, glad to avail themselves Of the services of go distinguished a man, had sent him in company with Silas Deane and Benjamin Franklin as an embassy to the court of King Louis, bearing proposals fer an alliance and with request for assistance during the dead Iy struggle of the colonies with the hereditary foe of France They had been reasonably successful in a DOT ton of their attempt at least, as the French government had agreed, though secretly, to furnish arms and other munitions of war through 9 pseudo mercantile firm which was represented by M. de Beaumarchais, the gifted au- thor of the comedy "Le Marriage de Fi- garo." The French had also agreed to furnish a limited amount of money
 But, more important than all these, there were hints and indications that if the American army could win any Gecisive battle or maintain the unequal conflict for my length of time, an open 0nd closer alliance would be made. The envoys had dispatched Colonel Wilton from their number back to America to make a report of the prog ress of their negotiations to congress. This had been done, and General

CURES WHILE YOU SLEEP
Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure Catarrh or Money Refunded by E. G.

Oh 1hSAOy 1sSAuA~~N " N
 Fowler.
 In addition to breathing FIyomei three or four times a day through the inhaler that comes with every outfit. it is well in the treatment of catarrh or catarrhal colds to moisten a piece of flannel with a few drops of Hyomei. and pin 1t to the night clothes right under the chin. Tn this way. Hyomei will be breathed the whole night long, curing while you sleep. In most cases 1t will break up a cold over night.
 The complete Hyomei outfit. consisting of a pocket inhaler. a medicine dropper. and bottle of Hyomei costs but one dol lar. The inhaler will last lifetime, and if more Hyomei Is needed, extra bottles can be obtained for fifty cents,
 It is the most economical of all reme- dies for the cure of catarrh, and the only one that follows a natural method in treating diseases of the respiratory or gans. Physicians advise a change of eli mate for the cure of catarrh. With Hyo- mel, a change of climate Is gained while at home It's healing balsams impreg- nate the air you breathe and their health giving and germ-destroying powers go to the most remote air cells of the resplr atory organs.
 You take no risk in buying Hyomei. F. G. Fowler has so much confidence in its power to kill catarrh. grippe. and ca tarrhaI colds. that he sells 1t under hts personal guarantee to refund the money if 1t fails to cure.

 Mobile, May 25.

Mobile, May 20.
 News was received here this morn ing of a tragedy at Yellow Pine, fifty seven miles north of Mobile on the Mo bile and Ohio Railroad, at 6:45 o'clock last night. The result of the tragedy is:
 Dead: S. W. Askew. conductor.
 Injured: Joe Richardson, brakeman. seriously wounded; s. Benion, colored. wounded.
 A report to the Superintendent of Transportation of the Mobile and Ohio here, from Superintendent Alexander of the Mobile Meridian Division of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, received this morning, gave the facts in substance, as follows:
 As the excursion train. which left Mobile about 6 o'clock, was pulling out of Yellow Pine. Sam Moore, negro. with a shot gun, jumped on the plat form of car and fired into the car where Conductor Askew was collecting fares. Askew fell, shot in the head Brakeman Richardson was seriously wounded and Benion. a passenger. was kIiRhtly wounded. Trainmaster Mar | tin, who was on the train, pulled the cord and stopped the train. backing 1t | to the depot at Yellow Pine. The com pany's surgeon was summoned but could do nothing for Askew. The train | pulled out ana ASheW uiSu l Waynesboro and Quitman'
 | Askew's body was taken from the train and prepared for interment and | this morning was taken to Birming- ham. his late home, by MT. Martin, for burial. Special Agent J W. Humph- rev of the Mobile and Ohio, who was on the train, left it at Yellow Pine and last night arrested Moore.
 Askew was a former railroad man at l (. .Fa Co 1 Richardson Is a Mobilian. He is now | in Meridian receiving treatment. It was reported here that Moore on the down trip from Meridian yesterday morning, was acting ugly on the train and was elected by Conductor Askew at Yellow Pine. There he secured the shot gun with which his deadly work was accomplished. Humphrey was as- sisted in the capture by Mir. Griffin | also an official of the Mobile and Ohio | Railroad Askew was known in Mo bile and his tragic death was learned here with sincere regrets by his many friends.
 A telegram from Yellow Pine receiv- ed at 2:30 this afternoon, stated that two negroes. Ira and Henry Carter brothers. living there, were arrested as the guilty parties. They were given a hasty hearing before Justice War wick and remanded without bond. This telegram did not mention anything or Moore. the negro whom Superntend- ent Alexander in his official report named as the guilty person. There was some talk prior to the preliminary hearing at Yellow Pine of lynch law, but this was nipped by timely judicial l action.
 | Special Agent Humphrey arrived in Mobile tonight with the two Carters and had them incarcerated in Mobile county jail for safe keeping.

A BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL
 m MRS. EU.nYn.

TO MRS. FLOYD.
 A chaste and fitting memorial to the late Mrs. Charles l.. Floyd has ap- peared on the first anniversary of her death by which, on May 22, 1903. the schools and the community of Mont gomery were bereaved.
 In white covers, in clear type, on heavy paper in a booklet are preserved the tributes paid to her worth and loveliness by the officials of the public schools, by her pupils, by her fellow members of the Daughters of the Rev olution to which she belonged, and also by the press of Alabama which united to lament her loss.
 As the commencement is again inau- gurated the thoughts of all turn low ingly to one who in her connection with our schools was Gn inspiration. The Carnegie Library too, just opened, enshrines her memory with that of her associates on its first board of direc- tors. Some of these still live among us, some have moved to distant States. and one, Mrs. Floyd, has joined the pure souls whose influences live for ever.
 A visitor to the opening of the Girls High School in October of the present term, wrote the following which Is in- cluded fin the pages of the memorial booklet.
 Nothing was more impressed on a visitor, at the opening of the city pub lie schools. than the reverence in which is held the companion of these devoted teachers for fourteen years. who, in the vacation which followed their last parting, had been removed by death. Her empty room was shown by old as- sociates who could not speak for tears, and on the walls hung the mechanical devices brought by her for teaching geometry, and around the entire room were evidences of the genius for teach ing possessed by Mrs. Floyd. The map of London, from which she lectured to her girls and which was drawn under her supervision remained as she had | left 1t, and few words referring tC commonplace tasks in her handwriting were on the blackboard, changed by deaths touch to relics, and sacred tc l those who know what the schools and the city have lost Blessed with g magnetic soul which not only drew hei pupils to her, but charged them witf some of her own high enthusiasms sht l inspired them with that self-confidenct | and seif-dspendepce to which the doors of life open and she won the love oi the mothers of Montgomery, who cher ish her memory"
