State Hortieulturist Finds Many vari.

State Horticultural Van Holderbeke
made an exhibition of roses in large
tent at Sumner, Wash, one day this
week. over 300 varieties of roses were
exhibited, and the tent was visited by
hundreds of people from Sumner and
Puyallup.
Mr.. Van Holderbeke says that very
few people know Of the wonderful
adaptation of the climate and soil OF
Puget sound for rose culture. But
comparatively few varieties are grown
he says, to the numbers that may be,

The announcement that the celebrat-
ed Samson" will be exhibited during
the regatta week recalled to Mr.. Hayes
Estabrook very peculiar story, which
he states is absolutely authentic. Some
years ago it appears that while In
South Africa Mr.. Estabrook had oc-
casion to call upon Mr.. Carl Hagen
back, the famous animal trainer, and
upon entering the apartments of Mr.
Hagenback was shown TO a chair of
very peculiar appearance. Mr.. Esta-
brook, out OF courtesy to his host,
made no comment thereon, but after
several minutes conversation with Mr..
Hagenback rose to pay his adieux. He
took the opportunity to make a more
careful survey of the chair In which
he had been sitting and great was his
to find that he had been
sitting upon a boa constructor lying
dormant upon the floor of Mr.. Hagen
backs apartments, which had been ar
tistically draped to resemble couch.
Mr.. Estabrook, who is chairman of the
racing committee of the tenth annual
regatta. states very emphatically that
his future relations with boa con-
strictors will be confined solely to those
of a spectator. Messrs. Faulkner and
of Detroit, Mich, have a
standing offer of $4,000 for any other
specimen of the boa constructor of
equal proportions.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. West
has been unable to secure a portion of
the celebrated tribe of Piegan Indians
from Alberta. Considerable influence
was brought to bear upon the Canadian
government with this object in view,
but it was found impossible to accom-
plish it. In order that show of some
what the same nature might be pro-
vided for the regatta week, Chairman
West has made arrangements for the
Great Plantation show, under the man
agement of Mr.. L. Dewart Barrimore.
1t is an axiom among the members Of
the theatrical profession that anything
produced by Mr.. Barrimore is of the

with original acts from start to finish.

Republican Leaders Dissap-
pointed at the Supreme
Courts Failure to
Reach S. & W.
Board Case.
OFFICE SEEKERS DlSGRUETLED
Democrats Say the Delay Is
In Favor of the Elective
Board AS There Is No
Precedent to JUS

Scheme.

Republican politicians were disappoint-
ed yesterday when announcement was
made in Trenton that decision had not
been reached by the Supreme Court in
the Street and Water Board controversy.
Mayor Pagan and the hundred or more
men who had been promised places had
looked for decision favorable to the
Board appointed by the Mayor a year
ago. The failure of the court to render
a decision encourages the Democrats to
believe that the Court is inclined to favor
a retention of the elective Board. Law
yers say there is no precedent that would
justify the recognition of the Mayors APP
pointive Board.
The fact that the case has been pend
ing for more than a year is accepted as
reached it will sustain the contentious
made by Congressman AIcDermott in his
brief submitted on behalf of the present
Board.

We're number of Republican place
hunters in the corridors and disappoint-
ment could be seen in their faces.

ings to GUST the elective Board it would
appear that the Republicans have been
using mighty efforts III a legal wary to
bring about decision favorable to the
Pagan Board.

STATE AID FOR
U. S. CAMP.
Fordyce's Resolution Asks
the Assistance Of the
Assembly for Ian
ing's Bill.
FEELING AGAINST DICK MEASURE
Some of the Legislators Do
Not Wish to Increase
the Expense of the
National Guard.
FEELING AGAINST DICK MEASURE


TRENTON, Feb. 25, 1904-Under a
suspension of the rules Mr.. Fordyce in
troduced yesterday a resolution in the
House yesterday empowering the speak
er to appoint five commissioners to in
vestigate and see whether the Assembly
could not assist Congressman Lanning
to secure the passage of his bill in Con-
gress, which calls for the location of a
military camp of instruction in this
State.
This site is said to be located in
Franklin Township, Somerset County,
and if secured by the government it
would be used as a field for army ma
noeuvres this fall, in-which it is proposed
that the national guard of the several
eastern states participate.
This camp scheme is said to be a
dream of General Corbin and certain
complications may arise.
The legislators are averse to spending
any more money than heretofore ON the
National Guard, and from time to time
there is difficulty in getting sufficient APP
preparation to carry on the Sea Girt en-
campment as the military authorities
would like.
A bill is pending to put the National
Guard under the operation of the Dick
army bill, which renders the guardsmen
liable to duty anywhere within the Unit
ed States, subject to the orders of the
War Department as well as to the orders
of the State.
1t is pointed out that when this is
once accomplished the adoption of the
Dick bill, should General Corbin or his
successor in command of the department
of the east desire to have the National
Guard of New Jersey turn out for these
manoeuvres they would have to go, and
here is where the trouble will arise.
Under the circumstances it is said that
the Legislature would object to defraying
the expense and there is no provision in
the Dick bill for meeting such an emer-
gency.
The State military authorities are
anxious to have the State militia parti-
cipate in these "grand military schools, y
while the guardsmen and some of the of
ficers who are obliged to work fer a liv-
ing look at the matter in a different light.
These latter maintain that the guard
of this State is made up largely of me-
chanics and the encampments viii take
place just when they are busiest, having
been more or less idle all summer, and it
would be hardship to them and their
employers to knock off in the fall for a
week, just when they need the money.
The feeling against the adoption of
the Dick bill is beginning to manifest it
self because of the oath the men will
have to take and because of the proposed
school of instruction, practically at the
mems expense.
