British Vicar DepIores Church g..
and Passing of Sense of Sin.

LONDON, Nov. "a. M. Mitcbou
vicar of Burtonwood, Lancashire hold,
views that are Numerically opposad 70
those Of the Rev. Mr.. Goodcbi,d =.
New York, who is giving performances
in his church as counter attractions
to the Sunday theatrical performances
Mr.. Mitchell complains that it has
become the fashion to run churches
as though they were music halls He
says: Anything to draw, anything to
make the show pay has become the
guiding principle"
He condemns all humorous dis.
courses and instrumental bands. and
holds that even vocal choirs ought
for the most part to be disbanded
They are the weakness, he says, not
the strength of the church. Moreover
they are trials to the parsons, especially
mixed choirs, with their three lively
attendant devils-the dress devil. the
flirting devil and the quarelling
devil"
Instead of praise and prayer the
churches offer a gallop and a gam
boil. The general confession of sin
is ratified off at breakneck speed as if
it were the merriest joke imaginable
The sense of sin is not increasing
them.

sTRExs RDr FOR MANY MILES
Unfortunate Victim of Train is Dragged
From Des Chutes to BIaIock
Island.

THE DALLES, Nov. 29.-Literally
torn to pieces was the experience of
an unfortunate young fellow who at.
tempted to steal ride on a train out
of The Dalles Saturday night and evil
dences Of his horrible death were
encountered by the crew on passenger
train No. 4, When that train
reached the watering tank at Deschutes
they found two shoes along the track.
clothing and linemen's tools were run
across, and when nearing Grants, the
naked body of the man was discovered.
with the face badly mashed, as though
he had been dragged along the track
aud the body was minus a leg. This
member was found at Blalocks.
A ciew to the identity of the unfor-
tunate fellow was given by Harry Will
son, lineman in the employ of the
Pacific States Telephone company,
who says three tramp linemen reached
town Saturday noon and came up to
the supply office. They said they had
worked all over Canada and the Unit
ed States and were on their way to
Spokane. Wilson gave two of the
fellows, named O'Kane and Ross, some
old trousers, but the third did not
seem to be in need of any. He also
took them to supper at the Carey hotel
and gave them a dollar apiece. They
seemed to be without funds, but they
said they were going to work their
way out of town that night.
From the linemans tools found, he
thinks it was one Of these men who
met death while stealing a ride and
from the description of the clothing
the one whose name he did not learn
as the clothing found was not that
which he gave O'Kane nor Ross.
They were young fellows, about % or
Is years of age.
What disposition was made of the
body was not learned.

q new plant. After four long years
Of patient effort they have been re-
warded with success. They have pro-
duced what is without doubt the most
beautiful flower creation of this last
decade. It Is q new "Mallow," a re-
suit Of crossing a nonhardy southern
variety with the common northern
variety.
Briefly, the process was as follows:
first, parent plants were very careful
ly chosen from many thousands, those
which were the healthiest, the largest
and Of the most beautiful shades were
taken. Then the pollen Of one varie-
ty was busted on to the stigma Of the
other variety; thus the work Of fertil-
ization was begun. Paper bags were
then tied over each individual flower SO
as to prevent any pollen of a less
desirable mallow being blown in on
the same stigmas, or brought to
them by bees or other insects. The
seeds ripened; were carefully col
lected and all sown with greatest pre-
caution. The best soil and the best
methods were determined before this
planting was begun. Then the anx-
ious. hopeful waiting for the germina-
ton and the Towering
The scientific theory which indicated
that new flower, more perfect than
any other of it's kind yet born, was
again demonstrated. The plant showed
a healthier and stronger constitution
than either of it's parents, a larger
flower and one of more glorious
color.
Anthony Wateree, of the most IA
nous horticultural firm in England
says that this achievement is the most
notable of its kind for many decades
and prophesies for the new creation a
widespread appreciation and use.
MaIIows of Jersey.
Everyone who has travelled shore
ward through New Jersey during the
summer must have noticed the many
acres of mallows growing wild in the
low swampy ground. Their large
flowers ranging in color from white
to a light pink, with a crimson eye
or center, can hardly be overlooked
even by a casual observer. This plant
has been grown in gardens for quite
a number Of years but cultivation did
not seem to improve it. In fact under
good treatment it seemed to be less
desirable than in its wild form. The
growth was much coarser and the
flowers seemed to have a tendency to
come white instead Of pink.
The late DR.. Thomas Meehan sug-
gested that it might be improved by
hybridizing with closely related plants
so the fashioned hollyhock and
the althaea, both of which belong to
the mallow family, were used for this
purpose, but without success.
Among the extensive collection of
plants on the nursery was a mallow
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-11-29

Of very brilliant color. This was not
hardy so far north as Philadelphia
and Of course had to be grown in the
greenhouse. The color was so brilliant
that it really suggested itself as like
ly subject to hybridize with the COM
mon mallow, with a view to making it
hardy enough to withstand the north
ern winters. Having failed with at
tempting too violent a cross. such as
by use of the hollyhock and althaea,
the pollen of a very hardy Hibiscus
with a closer botanical relationship was
used. The pollen of the latter was
used to fertiliz. the brilliant-colored
one with the hope that the progeny re-
sulting from the cross would retain
the color and be hardy in the northern
states. or, in other words, combine the
hardness of the pollen parent with the
brilliant color Of the seed parent. This
proved q success; the pod Of seed ri
pened and was sown in the open
ground. One Of the seedlings had the
the dazzling, brilliant color and proved
to be quite hardy. standing out un-
protected. In fact, the original plant
is still growing on the nursery.
With such a plant to work with it
was possible to set to work in earnest
to improve the swamp mallow.
Success at Last.
brid were pollenized with another type.
When the seedlings came up it was
noted that there was quite a diversity
in form Of foliage pointing to a sue
cessful cross, and the Towering of them
was looked forward to with that inter-
est that can only be aroused by promise
Of success after repeated failures.
The first flower to open was a glo-
rious pink, a shade never before seen
in the swamp mallow. This was fol-
lowed by others Of every shade of
pink, white, red and scarlet, some Of
of the last being much darker than the
parent.
The qualification felt can readily
be understood after SO much patient
work upon the birth of a new race of
garden plants that bid fair to be among
the most popular in the garden. Per-
haps no one was more pleased than
Mr.. Ernest Herming, who through
these years Of effort painstakingly di-
rected the work. From this period on
every effort was used to improve and
fix this new race. All poor forms were
eliminated as soon as they Powered,
the seed for future sowings being saved
from only the best plants. Thousands
Of flowers were artificially pollenized
each year, the pollen from the very
best forms only being used, so that
there has been a steady improvement
each succeeding year.
