REGARDED AS SERIOUS
BAD FAITH
 TOWARD UNITED STATES.
Sends Undesirable Glass of Population to Our Shores, Net to Become Worthy Citizens, But to
 Work Graft.

Oyster Bay, June 30-Marcus Braun of New York, the United States lmmi- grafton Inspector, who, while on spe- cial mission in Europe recently. caught an official of the Austro Hungarian Government Tn the act of tampering with his mail, visited Oyster Bay to- day to have a talk with Secretary Loeb about some official matters
 Inspector Braun returned from Flu rope on Wednesday last after an ab- sence of several months. The work of Inspector Braun was of confidential character, and 1t Is likely. therefore that the reports on 1t may not be made public. It can be said. however. that the reports show that the AustroH Hun garian Government Is fostering and encouraging the immigration to the United States of its people and at the same time urging the immigrants not to become citizens of this country, but to get together all the money they can earn here and then return to their own country.
 In the fostering of this immigration it Is charged that the Austro- Hunga- rian Government subsidies one or more steamship lines with the result that they carry the immigrants to the United States at notably low rate. By this means the Austro-Hungaria Government rids itself. temporarily at least. of some residents who are not especially desirable and many of this class succeed in landing in this coun- try despite the rigidity of the immi- grafton laws.
 There are societies in this country whose members work in conjunction with the Austro- Hungarian Govern- ment, bringing all sorts of influence to bear to secure the lapding Of certain immigrants who come here. The situ- ation presented is regarded by the in- migration authorities as serious. all though in the absence of the legisla- ton bearing directly upon it nothing

DraIae for fhe Wife.

Apparently there are some men in the world who think their wives are the only people they know who do not want hearty appreciation of their work. The man of this description Is usually q self sufficient creature; but there are many men who without meaning any unkindness take all things for granted.
 The wife of the unappreciative man is a woman whom no old maid should envy for her loving toll seems all in vain. A wife's one redress Is to master her husband. and 1t Is never pleasant to any true hearted woman to feel that she has to master her husband in order to live comfortably with him. The man who never praises his wife will find fault on every possible occasion. It is the easiest thing in the world to find fault--easier than the proverbial sliding down hill. It gets to be habit with sope men, and they are hardly conscious when they are exercising 1t.
 Why. cannot a man show his wife that he appreciates her efforts to please him? Why cannot he praise the pud- ding of his wife as well as the cooking of her neighbon Mrs. Jones? Why cannot he speak kindly of her pie and charitably of her sponge cake? Why cannot he say that the new hat is be- coming to the face of the woman who loves him? Kind words make his wife hannx- and every man should bestow

JET BLACK ROSES GROWN.
An Eng Iishman Said to Have DiscOy.
 cred the Secret.

cred the Secret.
 New Yorw Special {. Baltimore Sun.
 Florists in New York were greatly Interested today in the announcement that an Englishman has discovered how to grow jet black roses. a feat which has been valnly attempted for many years. If a dozen of them could be offered for sale today ip the city. leading florists agreed that there would be no difficulty in obtaining s1,2oO for the bunch.
 On a few estates along the Rhine practically black roses have been grown for the last ten years. but all efforts to eliminate a reddish tint in the center of the bud have SO far failed No secret has been more closely guarded by the German gar deners than this one of developing even a comparatively black flower. Visitors are allowed to look at the bushes and buds on special occasions. but what ingredient has been put into the soil to bring about the abnormal color has not been told, even to close friends.
 In California a specialist has also been partly successful in producing roses practically black. but. according to an announcement in London. 1t TO- mained for a peddler of shoelaces to attain perfection. It was said today by New ork florists that undoubtedly the color Is the result of a chemical introduced in the soil.
 The same principle however. is sup posed to be involved ns in the develop ment of blue hydrangeas, which are produced by putting iron into the soil in which the plants are grown.
 The black blossoms would be most as indications of mourning. hut 1t was agreed by florists that the day Is yet distant when any one of the freaks will be seen in their win dowz
