THE SWEET PEA DAY
Free Seed Distribution Furnishes
Pleasure and Fun.

Was it sweet pea day at The 1ri-
oune office last Saturday afternoon?
Well, we should smile, and it Is
probable and pardonable that we did.
Practically the entire office force
was kept busy for several hours hand
ing out packages OF seed that is to
result in a prettier Greeley next
summer. 1t was one OF the few
chances in life Of getting something
for nothing, and several hundred per-
sons recognized this fact and took
advantage Of the opportunity. A
student of psychology could have
found many things to interest him
during the few hours that the crowd
kept coming, but no member OF The
Tribune force Is a psychologist, so
they all studied boyology or girljoll'
ity, for there were more lads and
lasses than grown-ups, although many
of the youngsters brought words Of
regret that their mothers could not
come owing to the several inches of
mud that covered streets aud side
walks.
It was as good as a circus, better
than many that come to Greeley, to
zee the steady procession OF youngsters
that ranged in age and appearance
from the little FELLOW with mis- first
pair OF tiny overalls to the cub size
who is all feet and hands. The
former would come into the office
With the business air Of Importance
due the handling Of so weighty a
matter for his mother. With the
hurry OF a railroad president he would
hand out his coupon, receive his
package and be away as though he
had an engagement the next second
and the next second wouldn't wait.
Then the youth who has just reached
the unhappy stage in life where Moth
ing in the world seems big enough to
be in proportion to his pedal extrem-
titles and chiropodic appendages-
those are dandy wordsworth tap
lightly on the door and, trying to
make his misfortunes as small as pos
sibie. venture inside and just as tim.
idly present his credentials for a
handout. There we're also full
grown women who came after the
seed themselves who would try to
pass it cff as joke, but deep down
In their hearts they knew they we're
serious, and their faces showed it in
spite Of facetious remarks about
crossing the breed Of sweet peas with
those they Lad already planted.
Should count have been kept OF
the number of persons, whether old
or young, who really said thanks for
what they received it would have
looked about like the score board OF
the Denver Electrics when the Gree.
ley Reds get through with them next
Sunday. In this respect the little
girls had somewhat the better OF the
boys, but the boys, most Of them at
least, took it as serious business
proposition, and therefore were not

 Husband,s Evidence.
 Bridgeport, March 24-Positive con tradictions of her husbands testimony marked the direct examination of Mrs. Eardley this afternoon in the trial of her husband for the murder of her mother, and so far as the cross exam ination had proceeded when court ad- journed, her story had not been shaken. One important point brought out was that Eardley had never complained to his wife of head pains She denied ever having put wet cloths upon his head, and said that she never visited doctor with him except on an occasion when he had sore throat. She said he had never shown signs of insanity during their married life, and that he had never told her he must be going crazy"
 She testified that he had once threat ened her with a revolver, and again with a carving knife and that he had choked her. He spent all his money for liquor, was jealous and abusive throughout the period of their married life. She explained her relations with Frank Bronson, whom Eardley accused her of meeting by appointment, said he had been a friend of the family for six or seven years, and that their intimacy consisted only Of speaking to each oth- CT on the street when they had chanced to meet.

 London, March 24-Queen Alexandra to-day paid an informal visit to the Alexandra trust, and there enjoyed a nine-cent dinner among the factory en- ployees and children of the East End of London. The queen has always talk en keen interest in the institution, which was founded on her plan to give without savoring of charity. She ar ranged to-day's visit privately with Sir Thomas Lipton, who is the principal contributor to the institution.

She was told that there would be six pence (twelve cents) more, which Earl de Grey promptly contributed.
 Sir Thomas Lipton conducted the roy al guest, who was simply dressed in black, through the dining rooms. The news of her identity soon spread, and the children crowded about her, curl ously touching her gown and looking up in her face. Those who could not get near stood on tables to catch glimpse of their queen. Soon the whole build ing rang with the shrill cheers of the delighted children and girls.
 The queen saw two mites crying: What is the matter?" she asked. They had lost their dinner tickets. Their grief was quickly turned to joy by the gift of shilling from the royal purse. l So thickly did the children, typical products of East End, crowd around i the visitor that one of the attendants tried to make a passageway for her. Don't bother" said the queen. T did not come here to disturb them After talking with several factory employees who were in the midst of their meal. which is daily served to between 5000 and 4,0OO persons, the queen and her party. accompanied by Sir Thomas Lipton went upstairs to the room where they all redeemed their meal tickets. For her nine cents the queen 1o,, low | ing of plum pudding, a glass of water, and a mug of coffee. She seemed to en- joy it.
 After another walk around the rooms the queen drove off amid hearty cheers.

Thinks His Pessimlsm Regarding the
 Race Wili come T-ue.
 Little Rock, Ark, March 24.--Bishop William N. Brown, of the Episcopal diocese of Arkansas, whose utterances in the east on the southern negro aroused much criticism, has returned here. He said to-day:
 Tn sadness of heart I spoke what I believed to be the truth, with good will to all and malice toward none. The great majority of the people of the south feel very much as I do about these things, and a very respectable majority at the north quite fully agree with me. have felt it to be my duty to tell the truth, as I understand it. about the negro, and I think that before another year has passed the colored clergy and the people of the Episcopal church will recognize the fact that my pessimism does not arise from ennity."
