than the contents on the face of the
alleged Elliott-Worthington letter.
which is the reigning sensation ut
Charleston. They are entitled to

contained rejecting on the sincerity
and integrity of men prominent in

men to have the light turned on re
lieves n situation of hapEazard. hast

One man in particular may he made

In this connection il may be pert

suffering could be relieved IL our

some of the scenes encountered By
the Kings Daughters on their rounds.

one hundred and fifty idle beds and

other articles, all new. He also had
six 500 bills and change In every

In one pocket was a newspaper
containing a record of Johann Hocl,.
and description of him.
Along with the story Of his arrest
came the report that according to all
microscopic tests the stomach Of

that she died apparently from natural
causes. Tie powders found in the

at the last moment found that he could
not catch the express train that he al

anything. When Upon his arrival home
his little daughter started to put her
hand in his pocket he shook his head.
Il a to disappoint you tonight,

THE FLORA OF NEW ORLEANS.
In Winter Trees Do Not Become Dead,
hJIf Taka Or , Dao,,I;.u nn.L.,

In Winter Trees Do Not Become Dead,
but Take On a Peculiar Drabness.
New Orleans Censor: The visitor
from the cold and barren north cannot
but be impressed with the fora of New
Orleans, which is green and flourish
ing in winter. Although the plants
and trees do not become dead, as with
us, they take upon themselves, in
memory of winter, a certain %drabness.
There are many evergreen trees in
this part Of the south, among them
the pine with it's high crown and slen-
der stem, but the plant that will most
the beautiful cabbage palm, which
grows to a height Of thirty feet and
has frond twenty feet long. bending
gracefully outward from the main
stalk, which seldom reaches a height
of more than fifteen or twenty feet.
The banana is similar in shape and
style to the cabbage palm, but by no
means as beautiful.
The great live oak trees are nearly
everywhere, but they are by no means
as beautiful as the huge magnolia, an
other tree that is ever green. h
large leaves Of this tree are very thick,
have a brilliant, oily gloss and are of
the most vivid green. The live oak,
while ever green. sheds its leaves once
a year, as does its deciduous relative,
but in a very different manner. The
new leaf thrusts itself out n pushes
the old leaf off and takes its place.
In the parks grows a tree or shrub
called the sweet olive, which has the
sweetest. most delicious scent imagin-
able. Another great floral feature of
the city is a kind of ivy which Is a
thing Of wonderful vitality and beau
ty. 1t has little glossy leaves as vivid
ly green as the leaves of the magnolia,
n it covers a wall or anything to
which it attaches itself-absolutely-
not unevenly, but as smoothly and al
most as densely as though the cover
ing were a green carpet. 1t hugs the
wall tightly and is so dense that you
can scarcely part it enough to see that
to which it attaches itself.
But a thing which seems lacking
here is the beautiful and wildly green
bluegrass OF the north. If 1t grows
here at all, it is as dead now as it
would be in ST. Louis. Most Of the
lawns are covered with a grass that
seems to be some kind Of a coarse
jointed plant, that does not grow thick
ly and evenly like bluegrass.

A cHEss.PLAY,NG TOWN.
Ono of the Requirements of Every In

Ono of the Requirements of Every In,
habitant Of Village in Hungary.
There is In Hungary q village prob
ably unique among the worlds towns,
in that it not only encourages chess as
a pastime, but insists that the king Of
games shall be played by every man,
woman and child in the place.
It is just as necessary in this out-of-
the-world spot for the Inhabitants to
be proficient chess players as it is for
them to be able to read, write and
cipher. Prizes are given to the school
children for proficiency in chess.
Problems are given to the scholars
that they are expected to take home
and work out in their spare hours in
addition to their other tasks.
Hungary has long been famous for
her chess players. Indeed, this little
village has, as can be well understood.
turned out more than one player who
has been considered fit to rank
with such giants as Lasker, Steinitz or
Tchigorin.
Every Christmas a great tournament
is held in the village. and the burgo-
master gives prizes for the best ju-
yenile n adult players.
