there are about thirty varieties of trees

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Feb. 19.-Joseph

superintendent Of his fathers factory at
Railroad and Myrtle Avenues, died about

at the Garfield residence $40 Colorado

Canf1eld was about thirty gears old.

occurred at the same hme as that Of
Mr.. Garfield, for when her death was
discovered her body was quite warm.
The facts of the death were reported
TO police headquarters, and after DIR.

Japs Being Reinforced.

the general attack upon Port Arthur

1t is believed that the explosion
which took place on Nov. 16 occurred
in some counter tunneling work.
The second explosion which was
heard on Nov. 10, was much heavier,
and its is reported upon the best au.
thority that it was due to the blowing
UP of a Russian magazine.
1t is expected that the next attack
upon Port Arthur will be a tremen

coming to the support of General No

The Japanese are now constructing
coast defense forts at Pigeon bay
which is accepted as indication that
they expect to be defending Port Ar.

Inactivity Prevails at Mukden,

Mukden, Nov 21.-The anticipated
general attack by the Japanese has
not developed as yet. The uncertain.

to conflicting rumors and speculation

expect the Japanese to attempt a wide
fanking movement in Tie Pass and
others claim that the armies will prac.

The nights are growing colder and
fuel is scarcer. Crowds of Chinese

Careful of Her Nose.

Many interesting stories of courtiers
and favorites at the old French court
are found In the memoirs Of the Mar
quise de Crequy. She says that on GER
tain solemn occasions kings of France
wore ermine Innings to their robes, but
ermine became scarce, and she writes:
1.-THE amounting of Louis XIV. was re-
tarded some years for want of this fur
for the court mantles, and at the coro-
nation of Louis XIV. they actually
used catskin." Superbly elegant was
the Duchesse de la Ferte, who generally
was carried around under a canopy.
The marquise goes into ecstasies con-
cerning this particular duchesse, whose
eyes "had the most disdainful express
sion l ever saw, though they had a
slight cast in them" But her supreme
elegance can be appreciated when it is
known "she never blew her nose for
fear of spelling her Greek contour, but
dabbed 1t at intervals with small
square of cambria"

New York, Nov 21-In discussing

This news is absurd. 1t is unwor

at is quite as absurd to believe that
Chile would sell battleships to bel

United States would sell some of her
ships to Russia or. Japan because Chile
is placed on the South American con
tinent is no reason to imply that she
is a savage and uncivilized country
just as, on the other hand, there would
be no reason to assume that she was
a civilized country because she hap

A very unfattering description of
Benjamin Franklin's wife is taken
from the diary of Daniel Fisher, who
was Franklin's secretary for a short
time "She sat on the floor at neigh
boris. She assumed the airs of extraor-
binary freedom and great humility,
lamented heavily the misfortunes of
those who are unhappily infected with
a too tender or benevolent disposition,
said she believed all the world claimed
the privilege of troubling her pappy-
so she usually calls Mr.. Franklin-with
their calamities and distress, giving us
q general history of many such wretch
es and their impertinent applications"
He mentions ''the turbulence and jeal-
ousy and pride of her disposition and
the violence of her inyectiyes. Pointing
to Franklin's son one day, she exclaim-
ed, ''There goes the greatest villain up
