CANDIED FRAGRANT FLOWERS.
Demand in England for Sugared Rose
Petals and Candied Violets.

One of the latest developments of lux
ury is said to be the candying of fra
grant flowers. The notion is not alto
gether new, for violets have been made
into confections for the palate, as well
as into bouquets for the Olfactory organs,
from time to time for a long period.
At any rate, it seems that the fashion
has got new impetus of late. and can
died violet is coming to be regarded as
an acceptable "bonne bouche" to be pre-
scented to a lady. There is also, we are
told, q demand for sugared rose petals,
which is being catered for by some en-
terprising artists in sugar. 1t can hard
ly be pretended that flowers made into
sweets are of a medicinal efficacy,
though damask rose leaves have long
held a recognized place in the materia
medica.
Whether the violet has any therapeutic
qualities does not appear. though the
leaves mot the fower) have just now
some reputation-outside the medical
facuity-as a cure for cancer. The best
that can be hoped for, if flowers are to
be eaten as we'll as to be seen and
smelled, is that they may in all cases
prove to be innocuous. 1t is a nice ques-
zion whether the perfume is always a
safe guide.
Perhaps the modern craze is, after all,
only Il form of luxury. i candied violet
or dish of rose leaves could not pos
sibly enter into the category of cheap
sweets for the million.-London Globe.

SUSPENSION FOR
STUDENT HAZERS.
President Van Hise of Wisconsin Univer-
sity to Act on Latest Fresh
man Prank.

MADISON, Wis, April 3O.-[Special. ]
The hazing Of Joseph Pfiffner, the
Stevens Point freshman, Saturday night,
will be the signal for action by the fac
ulty.
1t is said here today that President
Van Hise will make a concerted effort to
wipe out hazing for all time. The hazers.
it is said, will be made to suffer for their
act. Pfiffner is q student in the college
of letters and science. 1t is said he went
through the worst hazing experience that
any freshman has had here for a long
time.
Hazed by Own Class.
Pfffner was hazed Saturday night by
freshness" 1t is said that his chief Of
Tense was the expression that 1.-The men
Of Wisconsin were not sufficiently cul-
tured."
When he went to the university armory
to take part in a competitive military
drill, fifty freshmen, headed by 'The
Freshman King" gathered outside the
Phffners fraternity, refused the fresh
men admission. He locked Pfffner in
the tower Of the armory, and telephoned
for policeman to escort him to the Phi
Gamma Delta house.
Officer Threatens to Shoot.
The freshmen, indignant at this inter
ference, attempted to persuade the officer
to release the victim. On refusal to do
so they threatened to apply force, and it
was only with the aid Of a revolver and
a determined "I'll shoot the first man
who advances a step" that he succeeded
in bringing Pfiffner to his fraternity
house. Pfffner afterwards voluntarily
gave himself up.
The freshmen painted his face with
iodine. cut off a few patches of hair and
exhibited him at the various fraternity
and sorority houses, where they ordered
him to sing. He refused, and with each
refusal they clipped off another patch Of
hair.
Senior Tries to Interfere.
A prominent senior, thinking the mat
ter had been carried too far, made an
effort to rescue the victim. "'I'll smash
your block" he threatened the "fresh-
man king"
do it, cried the king" but the
freshmen discreetly hustled the senior to
the rear and averted an encounter. Pfiff-
ner was then brought to the gymnasium
pier and thrown into the lake.
Leader May Be Next Victim.
In justification of Pfiffner, it is said
that the haZing, which was the most
severe that has been done in years, was
the result of personal malice by q few
1t is also said that the next man likely to
be introduced to the lake will be the

RE- OPEN BIG WILL CASE
GREEN BAY MAN LEAVES ASYLUM
TO START CONTEST.
Insane from Worry Over Loss of Share
in $4,000 Inheritance Left IN
California.

GREEN BAY, Wis. April 30
Especial. ELMER E. W. Britton of this
city has retained attorneys in Chicago
and Los Angeles, CAL, to institute an
action for the reopening of the will OF
his father. David w. Britton, formerly
wealthy factory owner in Green Bay,
who died at Alham bra, CAL, in August,
1904, leaving his only son $1,000 out of
an estate valued at $1SO,OOO, the re-
mainder going to the contestants step
mother. Brittons fourth and only living
wife. She was made executrix without
bond.
Among the allegations made by the
son is claim that his father was I'M
duly Influenced by the wife in executing
the will; that he was not mentally COM
petent when the instrument was drawn;
that he is entitled to inherit as the heir
of his mother. the testators second wife
The estate is alleged to have greatly
deprecated in value since the death OF
David w. Britton. With his wife and
her daughter and step-son. Mr.. and Mrs.
Victor ]. Salak, he moved from Green
Bay to Alhambra in the spring of 1904
and settled on a large fruit ranch.
1t is claimed that his property was
sold at great sacrifice after his death
and a similar claim is made relative to
fine residence property in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Britton, ST., several months ago
purchased much property in San Fran
cisco and recently settled there. She is
believed to have been a heavy loser IN
the recent disaster.
The delay in starting the present suit
is explained by the fact that the son
was committed soon after his father S
death to the state asylum at Oshkosh,
being discharged only a few months ago.
1t is declared that his insanity was due
to worry over the will.

Wis

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 3O.-Mil-
waukee road passenger train No. 3,
which left Milwaukee at 1888 this

freight train on siding at Kiel, Wis,
at 2:45 o'clock this morning. Five men

CINE, Green Bay, may die.
Harry Snyder, fireman of freight train.
l. W.. Isaacson, a travelling salesman, Mil
Waukee, passenger.
Henry Hancock, Milwaukee.
Brakeman Leaves Switch Open.
The wreck was the result of the failure
Of Brakeman J. Boex of the freight train
to close the switch behind his train. Lo-
connective No. 1877 of the passenger tram

cars are badly damaged. The passenger

and the train ran into an open switch
there, crashing into the freight train
which had pulled onto the siding to wait
for the passage of the passenger train.
The freight was headed north and the
passenger train dashed into the rear of
the freight demolishing five freight cars,
including the caboose, in which the fire
man was sitting. The switch had been
turned for the freight by Brakeman
Boex, but, it is claimed, he neglected to
turn it to the main track after the
freight had gone in, thus causing the col
lision. The passenger engine was al
most completely wrecked and turned
over ON it's side. The engineer and fire
man jumped, but the latter received Sc
we're injuries.
Milwaukeeans in Wreck.
Mr.. Isaacson received severe injuries
to his back. He resides at 1OS Eleventh
street, this city, although his name does
not appear in the Milwaukee directory.

sides at 53O12 Mineral street in this city
He is reported to have been badly
bruised about the head and body. His

gage and express agents are said to have
escaped injury.
Official Report of Accident.
In the official report made to Assistant
General Superintendent II. B. Earring,
it is stated that the switch was not
closed by Brakeman Boex, after he had
opened it for the freight to sidetrack.
It is also stated that Boex had not been
seen about Kiel after the wreck.
The damage to the passenger train
caused a delay of three hours, when it
resumed its run northward. The pas
