Mexico upon the splendid showing
made by the territory in its exhibits
at the Louisiana Purchase exposition
ar st. Louis last year, The mineral.
chronological. educational and other
portions OF the New Mexico exhibits
received not only favorable criticism
but were awarded numerous prizes
and served to advertise the resources
and the advancement of the territory
more extensively and better than
could have been done by any other
at double the expense, The
New Mexico commission. in conjunc-
ton with the bureau Of immigration.
has left two noteworthy memorials, Of
its activity. In the shape of two publ
cations: "To the Land of Sunshine"
and NEW Mexico Mines and Miner
ais" which are not only permanent
additions to the literature Of the south
west, but are serving to spread the
fame of New Mexico and its resources
far and wide. to the territory's mani
fest advantage. The commission
should be continued until such time as
II may be able to make its final report
to the territorial auditor and the terri
torial treasurer.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.

Most persons of wealth when laying out the grounds of a new estate plan to possess g flower garden. Usually the landscape gardener and the architect furnish the designs, the owner pro- vides the funds, and the garden is made" The owner is generally satis- fled with the reputation he acquires through friends who visit his scienti- feally made grounds and through ex- hibitions of fruit and flowers at horticultural shows. Tn a way he may admire and love the skill of others, but of the species. habits and charac- teristics of flowers he is often ignorant. He fails to note their human side-how greatly they resemble his own kind how, they smile, or frown or suIk, -ac- cording to their treatment. He is rich. in all save the ,companionship of his. own garden folk. Contrast this possession and it's own CT with a smaller garden, the. owner of which has cultivated with his own hands every foot, and planted every tree and shrub. seed and bulb. The blooms and fruit of these come to be, known by him as familiar friends. "He calleth them all by name.'' He knows every perfect shape and every defor- mity of branch, stalk, leaf and flower. He conversees with them as he walks among them, and what they say is partially repeated in the household. some thoughts are too sacred to voice for evne the home. <
 Standing before some of the wonder. fully pure and beautiful things. in the height of their splendor. he has visions. Some. time in the future he may learn the secret of the Great Alchemist's laboratory. He may learn the thought of the origin of the rose and the lily may be permitted to scan the original sketches! To him whose mind and heart are open to such influences comes the revelation in the rustic of the. trees, the tender blades of grass, the nlnrmur of brooks and the opening Sof flower petals fragant3 with celestial breath. that all this. lavish outpouring is from a yearning. !. loving hand; a yearring. loving voice, too, we hear, ,fs :, or you, my child, those were mades through them we may, converse and be near together; many things may not be, clear, but these you can understand. --Boston Transcript. .-. .....

JAPANESE STATEMENT

Made Peace in Response to the Dictates
 of Humanity.
 Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 29.-The fol- lowing statement was: issued by Mir. sato on behalf of the Japanese plenipo- tentiaries:
 'The questions of the final disposition of the island of sakhalin and the rein- bursement to Japan of her war ex- penses have from the first, been issues upon which an absolute divergence of views existed. The difference of opiri- ion upon these points-not one, but both have frequently threatened. the exist ence of the conference. But his majes- ty, the emperor of Japan, responding to the dictates of humanity and civiliza- tion, has, in a spirit of perfect concil- iation and in the interest of peace, au- thorized his plenipotentiaries to waive the question of reimbursement of war expenses and has consented to a divi- sion of Sakhalin upon terms which are mutually acceptable, thus making it possible to bring the important work of the conference to successful issue'

FUNERALS HIS pLEAusRE.

m
 Another character has been found in Germantown. He migrates under the sobriquet of Funeral Joe,'' and like the other members of this category is a centerSof attraction when seen pon the street in the different parts of the su- burb. The addition to the historic old section's list of freaks once seen will never be forgotten. by reason of his grotesque attire. No funeral in the past year that has proceeded to Ivy Hill cemetery, Mount Airy, found him missing, and no hearse carrying the re- mains of man, woman or child passed into the graveyard without Joe placing a mark upon the glass of the vehicle and retiring to another burying place, where he goes through the same tac- ties
 Previous to the interment he visits the home where the remains of the de- ceased are being viewed, and generally causes a, stir by his attire of black suit that has seen better days, white gloves, white shoes and 8 white opera hat, adorned with green ribbon. Eject ed from the houses of mourning, as he generally is, he will seek another fune- raI and force himself into the room in which the corpse reposes.
 One of his eccentricities while in. the place is to pick a flower from the floral tributes, principally from the one sent by one of the survivors of the dead per- son, and after looking about the room for some time, pin it upon the breast of a mourner. At the conclusion of the services at the house he has ~ been known to follow the cortege for miles to the cemetery, and on growing; tired takes rest9upon the rear end of a. car- riage. No matter what the weather might be, he may be daily seen. wher- ever there is a funeral in the suburb, and although harmless and known to the police, diurnally follows. his odd mo- tion.-Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

As soon as he saw her he ordered her sent immediately to the New Haven hospital, where it, was stated early this morning that her chances of recovery were good. No reason of the attempt is known except it is i'll health. Neither the police nor the hospital authorities seem to know very much about the matter.
