lieved that from slight indiscretion
in his eating there he suffered an at
tack of indigestion.

de1phia Feb. 20, 1929, and was looked
upon as the dean Of the dramatic pro-

FOURTEEN LIVES LOST
CONVENT BUILDING At ST. GEN.
EvlEvE, QUE, COMPLETELY
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Montreal, April 21.-A disastrous
fire broke out at an early hour and
reduced to ashes the convent in the
little village of St. Genevieve One
nun, nine young ladies ranging in
age from eleven to eighteen years
and four old women lost their lives.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
the villagers FASTENED to the scene.
Bucket brigades were hurriedly
formed and every possible effort was
made to save the building, but the
fire had gained such Roadway that 1t
was soon apparent that there was no
chance to save it. from destruction.
The occupants, aroused by the smoke,
attempted to grope their way out Of
the building. Sister Marie Adjuteur, in
heroic efforts to save the lives of the
children in her charge, succumbed to
the smoke and flames. The pupils
who persisted were in portion of the
building where the fire had obtained
too much Roadway before the alarm
was given to enable those who re-
sponded to effect their rescue.

KOCH JURY COMPLETED.
state Outlines Its Case Against New
Uim Dentist.

SiHI 0CHISoes
Mankato. Minn., April 25.-The state
disclosed its hand during the day in
the Koch case, and it was a stronger
one than it had at New 'Ulm on the
first trial of this celebrated case.
AS General Childs outlined the mat
to-, the state has strengthened its
csss' at three important points.
A witness. has been found who
claims she saw Koch enter his office
between and $50 the night Of the
murder, go to the corner of the room
where he kept hammer that tallies
exactly with the one found at the
scene of the murder, strike a light,
apparently take the hammer down and
put 1t In his pocket and then put the
light out. It is then presumed he
went across to the barber shop,
waited till the way was clear and
went up to Gebhard's Office.
This hammer is to be identified by
the scrubwoman who cleaned Koch's
Office shortly before the murder.
The third point newly developed by
the state involves the route taken by
the murderer after leaving the Geb-
hard premises. Mrs. Dahm will testi-
fy that some party lew moments
before 10 ran throngl"ar yard to-
ward the Koch residence, using the
private gate and p 18th. often used by
the Koch family. as the Dahms are
tenants Of the Kochs. Fresh blood
was found on the gatepost in the
morning where none had been before.

ANOTHER HEAVY DECLINE IN
PRICES ON THE CHICAGO
BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, April 25.-Remnants of
the famous Gates line of May wheat
were thrown upon an unsupported
market on the board of trade here
Monday, adding further decline of

A Garden in a Station,

At Client. in Belgium, is a very large
terminus to the railway system, covered
i'll with glass roof. One portion of the
station. not being required for use. has
been turned into a winter garden, the
floor of the building being utilized for the
planting out of various subjects in the
form of beds and groups. An illustration
ct this floral station is given in '.The
Revue de L'Horticulture Beige" for July.
This shows some stately palms from Aus
tralia, planted along the centre. A group
of bamboos Is also pretty. Several other
plants are used such as American aloes,
musas. Phoenix, zonal pelargoniums,
New-Zealand flax, hydrangeas, fuchsias,
begonias and others. Owing to the very
high roof of the station we should think,
says Gardening World" the towering
plants less suitable for the situation than
the fine foliage plants. This is an ex-
perience which applies to tall conserva-
tories. where the plants are a long way
from the glass. It would be quite a novel

She Loves Flowers,

of her characteristics which seemed most

private apartments, her tnrone-rooms,

audlences-all were decorated with a pro-
fusion OF flowers, cut and growing, but
never though. of more than one kind Il [

however carewcrn or harasSed she might
be- she seemed to find Solace in flowers
She would hold q flower to her face. drink
In Its fragrance, and caresS 1t as if it were
sentient thing. She would go herself
among the flowers that filled her rooms
and place, with lingering touch, some fair
bloom in a better light. or turn a jard-
Mere so that the growing plant might
have more favorable position.
The Chinese do not place certain cut
flowers in water. but Keep them dry in
bowls or vases to get their full fragrance.
The Empress DOwager had some quaint
conceits about the arrangement of these.
She would have the cOrollaS of the lily-
bloom or the fragrant jasmine placed in
shallow bowls in curious, Star-like de-
signs, beautiful to look at, as well as
most fragrant.
Her passion for flowers being generally
known among the courtiers, princes and
high officials, they send daily offerings
to the palace of all that is rare and choice
in the way of plants and flowers; for they
know this is one present Her Majesty will
