Gardens for Pleasure.
From the World To-Day.

from tne WOrlu lobby
The pleasures of gardening are twofoId
First comes the pleasure of making green
things grow and blossom, and afterward
the artistic delight of using their form and
color to decorate the landscape. For neither
of these pleasures is 1t necessary to own
large and picturesque estate. I have seen
splendid flowers raised in the window OF
some poor old woman, with no better place
to grow in than an old tomato ean and the
ordinary city backyard can be transformed
by tasteful planting from q dumping ground
of household refuse into q delight to the
eye. Nor is 1t needful to have professional
assistance or much horticultural knowledge
to achieve the best results. When 1 started
my garden l knew nothing at all about the
culture of flowers, but l learned by expe-
rience in a few years how to grow the SIM
pie kinds of plants. There are so many of
these and they are SO beautiful that it Is
not necessary for amateurs to attempt to
raise those which require hotbeds, winter
storage, grating, transplanting, pinching.
pruning and all the other special processes
which professional florists practice. By a
can make almost any ordinary flower eff
fective in the garden. The common fox
glove, for instance. which usually blossoms
In very ugly shade of magenta and is In
harmonious in q bed of mixed colors, is very
deeora tive planted in masses together, with
the white variety among a quantity Of green
shrubbery, and with all the soarlets, blues
wonderful what can be done In this way
with the simplest plants, and It adds Inn
maasurabiy to the pleasure ct flower grow
ing to take some common, deapised flower
or weed and see what one can do with It by
setting It In the best surroundings.

Convicted of Stealing Coke.

William Brown, colored, was convicted in
the Police Court today of the larceny Of five
bushels of coke from the Washington Gas
Company. Brown has been a driver for
this company for several years. and yester-
day afternoon he was sent to deliver some
coke to Theodore Friebus. Two colored men
were together when they reached the house
of the purchaser. They unloaded all but
five bushels of the fuel, it is said, and
started to drive away, when MIR. Friebus
stopped the wagon. One of the colored men
ran away, but Brown was caught and
charged with the larceny. He denied the
intention to take the coke. and blamed the
matter on the man who ran. Judge Mills
imposed fine of SIS, in default of which

That Explosion.
he Boston Transcript


Engineers believe that the explosion of
dynamite by which Hendersons Point was
blown up on Saturday was a complete sue
cess. although 1t will be necessary to inves-
tigate further to find out If the gigantic
rock has been reduced to the comminuted
condition which 1t was hoped would be the
result of putting forty-five tons OF dynamite
into it. The blowing up of He'll Gate, at
the entrance to New York harbor, In 1875
when 100000 pounds of nitregIycerine in
cans were used. was effective in deepening
the channel, but 1t left things so that 1t
was years before the work was completed
and subsequent blasts were necessary The
fact that no damage was caused to property
In the .neighborhood when the Portsmouth
charge of explosive was set off demon
strates the safety of dynamite when prop
erly handled The water cushion over the
lodges In this case proved an adequate pro-
lection against damage Had the same
charge been exploded in the open air It
would have Ieveled a city. 1t appears
therefore. that most of the dynamite acei-
dents which occur and which cause death
and damage each year are due to careless
ness. and not because the explosive is
"freaky" in its character. Under proper
conditions tt can be used in almost any
quantity. but a box If it dropped of Il
wagon through somebody's carelessness can
cause, great damage and loss of life, as was
shown In the Melrose explosion some
months ago.

BANK IMPROVEMENTS.
Changes Made in the Commercial Ma
tional Building.

The improvements which have been in
progress for some time in the building of
the Commercial National Bank. at the
northwest corner of 18th and G. streets. are
completed. The portion of the changes and
alterations which has occupied the greater
amount of time are those in the banking
room which occupies the entire first floor
with the exception of the space necessary
for a hallway.
A complete transformation has been
brought about by the appearance OF
the room which is now not only handsome
and pleasing. but is well adapted for the
uses intended
The convenience of the many patrons OF
the institution has been specially kept in
mind and while the president of the bank,
Nj. Frederick e. Stevens, admired the color
scheme of the banking room, which is pro-
duced by harmonious and skiilfull blend
ing of the rich hues of mahogany and of
the vartegated Grecian marble and the
bToE re used in the decora ton and the I'm
ish yet what he thinks is the principal ad-
vantage of the changes are the improved
facilities which are offered to the customers
Of the bank.
On this account Mr.. Stevens is of the
opinion that when the bank celebrates the
first anniversary of the Incorporation of he
Institution. which will be in October next,
it will have that feature in its brief history
to point to with satisfaction.
One Of the unusual details of the interior
arrangement is the location of the cash.
ier's office, which is in the center of the
screen that separates the working force OF
the bank from the space open TO the gem
eral public,
This screen or counter. which is of ma
hogany and marble and bronze, extends
about the sides of the rooms except at the
two entrances. which are on 14th street and
on G street, and also for good part of the
l4th street frontage, which contains large
windows
Directly opposite this entrance. and sep
arated from the main room by only a low
partition, Is the Office of Mr.. White, the
cashier, who is therefore in the midst of
things and easy to reach. On side Of
the entrance door from c. street is the Office
of the president. while on the other side is
a room for ladies. with ladies' window
At the farther end and with windows
looking over on 14th street is the office of
Mr. Chester, the vice president of the bank.
AS complete system Of telephones is pro-
vided rapid communication is possible be-
tween the various departments of the in
stitution. The entire floor of the banking
room is covered with rubber tile. which
does away with the noise of trampling feet
and also makes walking much more agree
able than when the surface is hard and in
elastic.

Appeals to Mai. Sylvester.

A broken show window and an arrest and
subsequent Police Court proceeding are the
basis of a complaint filed with Major Syl-
vester yesterday against a policeman In
the first precinct. Attorney James A.
Toomey, representing James Chacalakis a
Greek keeper of a lunch room at the cor
ner of 18th and C streets northwest, filed
the protest.
The claims of Chacalakis, as set forth by
Mr. Toomey, are that an intoxicated col
ored woman came into his place early Sun
day morning and created a disturbance;
that he sent to the police station, few
doors away, for assistance, but was re-
fused, and that after the woman had
broken his show window and he was eject
ing her he was arrested on the charge of
disorderly conduct and afterward fined in
the Police Court.

untry Life ia America.

From Country Life In America.
DR.. Heinrich c. Leonhardt of Tonawanda
recently supplied almost the whole city
with young trees. AT dinner which he
attended he heard the suggestion made that
the city needed shade trees. Immediately
he bought thousands of young elm, maple
and chestnut trees, and as soon as it was
possible had them shipped to Tonawanda
and stored in nursery there Then he an
nounced that all who would might have
trees by applying at the nursery. The eff
feet was wonderful Streets that never
would have had trees were soon filed with
hourishfng young saplings that In twenty
years Will be priceless magnificent mOnu-
ment to one man. Two thousand of the
trees were distributed in an incredibly short
time. There was more tree planting In
Tonawanda this spring than ever before.
The only condition attached to the offer
was that persons taking trees should guar
antee to plant them for shade purposes and
to plant them in accordance with direc-
lions given at the nursery.

The statesman., 1905-11-03

The one big event which is at hand
is the entertainment to be given next
Thursday night at ManiLou Hall by
the Odd Fellows of Ardpahoe Lodge.
This affair deserves the fullest pat
ronage because Of the purpose for
which it is gwen no less than for the
merit it has, This lodge set the pace
for all colored organizations in the
west in the matter Of securing home
OF its own and has thus far asked no
assistance OF the public in meeting its
obligations. Now It has only several
hundred dollars to pay and is making
a grand rally. Some of the city's
best talent will appear in this worthy
cause. A program Of unusual merit
will be rendered. Added to this is a
unique attraction in an art display by
Charles Lightner. He is one of the
best of local painters and has some
canvasses which are of more than 10.
cal renown. At the close the Harris
Orchestra will fl out the evenings
entertainment. The price is only 35
cents and il would seem that every
one would patronize the event for the
sake OF the good it would do.
