the world TO take up this line of study
and pursue it to Il successful ending
She is of such girlish femininity that
none would suspect that she should be
interested IN mine surveying, smelling
metallurgy and kindred subjects, or that
she had experienced climbing perpendicu-

over mountains.

Thorn Trees as Lawn Ornaments.

More than thirty years ago an eminent
botanist called attention 10 the beauty
of our native thorn trees and their siita-
bility for hedges and for lawn ornaments.
Their hardness. graceful shapes, thick
foliage and brilliant fruit clusters all
recommend them, while their ability to
flourish under a severe pruning i an
added virtue in the eyes of those who
desire formal shapes. Yet mp to the pres
ent time. our thorn trees remain the
ornaments not of private grounds. but Of
waySides and pastures; while the only
primers to exercise their skill upon them
are the cattle which eagerly browse
upon the young shoots. Many pasture
contains shrubs fitted To grace public
park and worthy of considerable pilgrim
age on the part Of lovers of the beautiful
Country Life in America.

SENATOR BURTON
IS SENTENCED
Condemned to Six Months
Imprisonment and a
Fine.
NEW TRIAL is NOT ALLOWED
Judge Found the Jury's Verdict to
Be just and True-Dramatic Scene
in Court Room as Sentence Was
Declines to Talk.

st. Louis, April 7.-United States
Senator J. r. Burton, Of Kansas, was
yesterday sentenced to six months
imprisonment in the Iron county Jail
and fined $4,000, upon conviction Of
using his influence before the post
Office department in behalf Of the Ri.
alto Grain and Securities company
of st. Louis, and having received pay
ment from the company for his ser.
vices.
Senator Burton, accompanied by his
leading attorney, Judge Chester H
Krum, came into the United States
| district court at 1880 o'clock and
through his attorney filed a motion for
new trial and arrest of judgment.
Judge Adams, after briefly reviewing
| the motions, overruled them both. The
| court then said to the defendant:

The court room was almost empty,
with the exception Of few persons
interested in the previous case. VINO
had remained out of curiosity, and the
silence was almost oppressive as
Judge Adams in low tone began de-
livery Of the sentence to be imposed.
Inc court said:
II am satisfied the jury reached a
just and true verdict. The evidence
warranted their verdict, and find no
reason. either in the law governing the
case or in the proceedings attending
the trial. for disturbing it. .,-.
your conviction necessarily results
in your punishment. Its Importance,
in my opinion, is not confined to its
effect upon you. Your exalted station
in life, and the character Of your Of
Tending give unusual significance to
your conviction. 1t demonstrates that
the law of the land is equal to any
emergency and that it can be admin
istered regardless Of the personally
or station of the accused. 1t also de-
monstrates to all people that public
Office cannot be prostituted to self
serving purposes, and that public office
is not a sure or safe passport to pri-
vate thrift"
Attorney Judge Krum Immediately
filed a bill of exceptions in the case
and offered bond for $4,000, which
was accepted, and court took. a recess
until 2 o'clock to resume the previous
case. Senator Burton and Judge Krum
then hurriedly departed from the
court room. In the corridor Senator
Burton stopped long enough to light
a cigar and then walked to his hotel.

That Many Are In Motion And 10000

Shanghai, April ga letter receiv.
ed here from Kobe, Japan, says the
Japanese government has 100000
troops in motion and fully 10000 more
under arms in garrisons and at the
depots. These numbers are exclusive
Of the third reserves. numbering
100000, which have not been called

Of troops which nave left for their
various destinations are not known.
The Japanese general staff still care.
fully guard the plan Of campaign, but
it is generally believed that 1t will
operate three armies, each nominally
numbering 100000 men, the second
army landing west Of the Yalu river
and the third army east Of New,
Chwang. The landings of the latter
two armies will be easily accomplish
ed, for the light cruiser squadrons
can protect both movements.
1t is thought that the landing Of
a heavy Japanese force west of the
mouth of the Yalu will force the
Russians 10 abandon the Notifications
which they have been erecting north
of the Yalu for the purpose Of op.
posing the crossing of the first army
of Japan from Korea.
1t is also anticipated that the three
great Japanese forces will operate in
conjunction, the third army swinging
eastward of New Chwang, selling OF
cutting the railroad and then engaging
In turning movement against the
main Russian position.
The Japanese are confident that the
Russians will be unable to transport
supplies sufficient to maintain in Man
churia a force larger than 100000
men. Tie heavy detachments neces
sary to guard the railroad and sup
ply bases will, 1t is claimed, reduce
the Russian fighting forcc to about
100000 men.
The Japanese are requisitioning
thousands OF horses and it is probable
that considerable detachment Of cav
airy will accompany each army.
Though the horses Of the Japanese
seem inferior to the Russians, the
Japanese officers say they will salts

ing for the front. The guns seem
light, but it is believed that the Jap
anese have number of heavy bat
teries, equal in range to the best
European field artillery. Japan also
possesses a large number Of excel
lent mountain batteries, which in .
rough country will have a distinct
advantage over the Russians.
It seems certain that Vice Admiral
Togo's failure to effectually dispose
of the Russian feet at Port Arthur
has delayed the Japanese land oper
atoms.
A general thaw is now proceeding
in Korea and Manchuria, rendering
the country roads impossible and
making it impossible to conduct gen
eral military operations until the
ground hardens.
