 The cultivation of aquatic plants in tubs makes it possible for any one to try his skill with them. Of course he need not expect to be able to grow the rarer sorts of nymphaea, but he can succeed with many beautiful varieties of water lily and other plants of that class. A half barrel is not very at tractiye in itself, but its lack of beauty may be concealed by the plants, or it may be sunk its depth in the earth When it contains a fine specimen of some aquatic plant we will forget all about it's lack of grace.

IL does not appear who makes the charge.
The detective told Sergt. Arthur Carey,
whoAWas in charge OF the Detective hnrsau;
that the complainant. was Frederick Keim,
the jeweler at 2Ss Fifth avenue. but Keim
denies It. According to tho information
given out at Police Headquarters, Pope
entered Keim's store on September IL ahd
secured a number Of arti cles Of iewelry
which he was to show to a pros pective
customer. He got a diamond crown brooch,
a diamond bangle, a ruby bangle and a ring
act with diamonds and pearls. All Of this
was valued at 81, 600. Sergt. Carey said
that when Pope failed to return with the
jewelry or the money for it Mr.. Keim had
complained to the police.
Pope, who said he was 80 years old and
who had an all around prosperous appear
anoe, took his arrest ooolly. Fight pawn
tickets were found on him. Four repre-
sented the articles that had been secured
from Mr.. Keim and showed that a total Of
SOS had been realized on the jewelry. The
other four were for jewelry OF good value
that had been pledged. The pawntickets
for the stun that Pope had secured at Keim's
showed that he hadn't waited long to pawn
the valuables.
Il don't know this man Pope" said Mr..
Keim last night, and am not the least
Interested in his arrest. l did not request
it and have never talked to a police officer
about the affair. On September II Pope

The fact that Mr.. Hearst could not get All
Endorsement by the State Labor Federation
at BinghamtOn was a very great ~diSappOint-
ment to him.
The announcement Of Norman f.. Mack,
Democratic national committeeman for
the state. that he and the Erie county Demo
Gratis could not stand by Mr.. Hearst be-
cIuse Mr.. Hears had been nominated
by a guerrilla convention made a great
stir in Democra ito circles ia Nc= Verb

In accord with Mr.. Hea rat until Mr.. Hearst
nominated himself and a full State tick ct,
but during Bryan week in New York city
II was very evident that Mr.. Mack could
not go the eaPst programme. Between
that time and Wednesday, when MIR. Mack
made his formal announcement, declaring
for Mayor Adam OF Buffalo for Governor,
Mr.. Mack has consulted with the most
important Bryan men in the State. and inas.
much as Mr.. Mack first received his COM
mission as Democratic national commit
tseman for the State from Mr.. Bryan,
who at all times has been a regular Demo-
cratic candidate, Mr.. Mack had no reoou rae
but to withdraw his support FRONT Mr.. Hearst
and to declare for a representa- tive Of the
regular Democracy Of the State, Mayor
Adam.
1t was learned last night that Mayor
Mcclellan and District Attorney Jerome
In going to Buffalo do 30 not only to protest
against Mr.. Hearst's nomination but also
they go in response to the appeals Of young
Democrats who, since the Hearst business
has come up, have taken an awakened
interest in the affairs Of the Democratic
party in the State. These young Democrats,
IL was learned, had been voting for President
Mckinley and President Roosevelt, but they
cannot longer support the Republican
organization, which in their estimation has
been befouled by Mr.. Odell. The fact
that young Democrats all over the State
are returning to their party for at least
this campaign has created cement
all along the line. The Hearst boom, il
was therefore said, has not been without
its beneficial results for the reason that il
has aroused the interest OF young Demo-
Gratis who desire to see such men az Mayor
Mcclellan and District Attorney Jerome
and Democrats OF that stamp put forward.
Curiously enough, according to friends Of
Big Tim and Little Tim Sullivan and other
Tammany men, the elevation Of Herbert
Parsons in the Republican affairs Of New
York county has resulted in suggesting to
veterans Of Democratic organizations that
young Democrats Of known ability and
integrity should he advanced by those in
control Of the organization.
