Plea for wild Flowers.

This is the season OF the year when
jewellers in cities and towns may be
seen returning after holiday excur-
Eions. loaded down with flowers
leaves and branches of trees, torn on
from their stems by people who wish
20 carry away with them the beauti-
full things that nature so lavishiy
spreads abroad in the spring. To ad-
mire and to desire to possess these
beautiful things is natural, yet TO tear
them down and carry them away
shows a deplorable lack Of thought
The least informed person, IL willing
10 pause and think for a moment. says
Forest and Stream, knows very well
fhet a few hours after the twig has
been parted from its branch or the
flower from its stem, twig and flower
alike must lose all resemblance to the
beautiful growing thing that inspired
the wish for possession, and is no
longer worth having. Thus, for the
qualification Of a passing impulse, one
has destroyed a beautiful object that
but for this hasty act might have
given pleasure to other people for
days or weeks. II is not uncommon
to see people coming from the coun'
try laden with branches of dogwood
for example, four feet long; lilacs are
torn down and defaced, and punches
Of more ephemeral flowers like vio-
lets, buttercups and others are wilt
ting in every hand. If people would
recognize how feeting is the gratih-
cation derived from this destruction
OF the flowers, and how selfish il Is,
they probably would not be guilty OF
81. A well-regulated person does not
-even if the opportunity Occurs-de-
stroy shrubbery in the public parks
for the purpose Of carrying away with
him the flowers or branches. In
towns and cities such an act is com
monty regarded as an offense, and
anyone found guilty of it is likely to
be punished, by a fine or otherwise.
Yet, the principle is the same, wheth'
er the destruction is wrought in town
or in country; but in the country the
owner does not attempt 20 protect his
Ehrubbery or his wild flowers, unless
they are close to his house.

PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
Thaw Arraisnsd in Court Of General
Sessions.

New York-lIarry Kendall Thaw en-
tered formal plea OF not guilty when
arraigned on a charge OF murder In
the court OF general sessions. The
plea was entered with a reservation
that II may be withdrawn.
While waiting for the court TO open.
Thaw chatted with newspapermen. but
would not discuss his case. He an
swored Not guilty" distinctly. lie
was remarkably cool and collected and
at times his pallid features were forced
into a smile.
There is much speculation regard
ing the contents Of the letter received
by Thaw. which induced him 10 re
quest that Anthony Comstock visit
him. The letter. which was addressed,
was in the handwriting Of a woman.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1906-07-05

The letter was placed In rack to be
given to Thaw's attorneys. but unin-
tentionally was given to Thaw. Il con-
tains something which Thaw told CON-
stock over the telephone will pay 10
investigate
According to the Globe Investigation
has brought TO light the fact that Stan
ford White. who was supposed TO be
wealthy, had been living beyond his
income and was heavily in debt, owing
100000 10 one young member Of a
prominent family and as much 10 other
persons. In addition TO this the Globe
says White had drawn so heavily from
the architectural firm Of which he was
a member that he had been notified he
could draw no more. but would be al
lotted a weekly sum which was not to
be exceeded.
Mrs. Thaw held another long confer
ence with her husbands attorney, dur
ing which she is said TO have related
at length her life history. especially
that portion pertaining to her acquaint-
ance with White prior to her mar
rage.

Mr. Wadsworth. after referring TO

The passage OF this bill was necessary
for The protection OF our foreign COM

Mr.. Davis favored what Is known as

CONFERENCE REPORTS.
The Two Houses Have Agreed on All
Important Bills.

Washington.-The senate devoted
most Of its time to conference
reports on the railroad rate and pure
food bills and the meat inspection pro-
vision OF the agricultural bill al
we're adopted.
The principal controversy was over
the rate bin when Senators Bailey and
Tillman had a heated colloquy on rail-
road lawyers. There was much dis
cussion also on the meat inspection
provision. A number OF senators ex-
pressed themselves as willing only 20
accept the house provision because Il
was attached to an appropriation bill
and a deadlock would cause the fail
ure OF the supply bill.
The senate adopted the joint resolu-
tion fixing the time when the rate OIL
shall go into effect at two months aft
er its approval by the president.
Vice President Fairbanks announced
HIS signature TO the railroad rate bill.
The bill had already received the sig
nature Of the speaker of the house.

An abundance OF work and fam
inc of workmen represent a condition
that is constantly growing more COM
mon in America. The greatest trouble
is the dearfh of farm hands, as shown
BY the report Of the states free public
employment Office in this city. Men
absolutely refuse to leave the cities for
the fields. But the problem is not
confined TO the country. In the cities
there is work a-plenty and a dearth
of workmen. Apparently with each
succeeding year common labor grows
less attractive. Yet there is not a
notable increase in the number Of
vagrants ard able-bodied paupers.
The riddle probably has its solution
in the fact that prosperity and thrift
have depleted the ranks of common
laborers. leading them 10 seek better
things In life.

SENSATIONAL SCENE.
Motion Thrown Out Of Court BY Com
mon Pleas Judge

Toledo, O.-There was a sensational
scene ia common pleas court when
attorneys for two Of the condemned
ice men argued a motion TO set aside
the sentence on the ground that the
defendants pleaded guilty on promise
Of the court that leniency would be
shown. that the court Is prejudlced in
passing sentence and that the law is
unconstitutional
Judge Kinkade threw the motion out
OF court and vigorously assailed the
attorneys for the defendants. Both
sides used language not often heard
In a court room. The same motion has
been fled in the circuit court. The
court had reduced the fines and inn
prisonment OF each Of the FIVE dealers
to $500 and ak months in prison.

his position on the measure. But one
negative voice was raised against the
report in the viva voce vote taken.
MIR. Sherman penetrated the applause
which had stopped other members
with a few sentences. saying the re.
port was sound and sensible.
MIR. Richardson. the house minority
eoRferee on the bill, opened the discus
sion with a review OF the conference
agreement. The point was made by
Mr.. Bartlett that the railroads had evl.

an appeal from the refusal Of circrit
