FLOAT GARDENS AS LESSON
New Step Has Been Taken by Rus sian Educators to Uplift the
 Peasantry.

The teachers of agriculture in Rus sia have revived the floating gardens of past ages, but instead of being a means for the lavish expenditure of money, the object is one of utility en- tirely. These teachers were impressed with the fact that the most prosper ous farms lay along water courses, so they resolved to experiment with large floating gardens, which should be laid out on barges of great width.
 This was accordingly done, and as soon as the ice melted these experi- ment stations drifted down the stream to warmer climates, where the seeds sprouted and the grain grew and ripened. AS each barge floats along 1t stops at each village, where the church bells are rung to announce its arrival, and the people flock on board, led by the mayor. The beds containing vegetables and grain are inspected, and the teachers explain how the various plants are grown. During the talk many questions are asked by the peasants, which the teacher endeavors to answer clearly.
 If the peasants have no seed with which to experiment. it Is freely sup plied-to them. Russian educators are highly pleased with the experiment station and have decided that 1t is the most effective method yet discovered for popularizing intelligent farming among the peasants.

AUTOMOBILES OUT WEST.
Nevada Town Where Water Is Scarce
 pisplaces Horses and Mules with Thsrn.

with the extension of the railroad Goldfeld has taken new lease of life," said Richard Coe, . Spokane mining operator. who. according to the Portland Oresonian, had just re- turned from Nevada. "Goldfleld is tho outfitting point for all that surround ing country.
 They sell water in., Goldneld the same as the Standard oil company peddles it's oil The water is taken about town in wagons and is sold at about s1.50 . barrel, or 25 cents . bucket
 Because of the scarcity of water and hay, 1t is extremely expensive to keep horses and mules in that part of the country. Every time horse is wa tered it costs 25 cents: that Is the regulation price, and the hay has to be slipped in. As result automo- biles are becoming quite popular and are taking the place of the horses and mules to a certain extent.
 Persons going from Goldneld to outlying points nearly all go in au- tomobiles. which make regular trips. There are some enormous machines there that carry a dozen or more pas sengers. At times I have seen as many of IS or 20 automobiles stand ing in the streets of .ooldfield."

CLOSED BY POLICE
Hungarian Parliament Dissolved To cay Without Resistance
 or Disorder.

Budapest, Hungary, Feb 19.-The Hungarian parliament was dissolved to-day with the use of force. The floor and corridors of the building were cleared by the police. There was no bers of the coalition party declared that the dissolution was unconstitu- tional and illegal and that they would hold a meeting Wednesday in the par lament building unless prevented by troops, in which case the meeting would be held elsewhere.
 The session opened at 10 o'clock. The vice-president read letters from Gen. eral Nyiri, the royal commissioner, and Herr Justh, president of the lower house, and declared that the royal re- script dissolving parliament, forward ed by General Nyiri, was unconstitu- tional and illegal and protested against it. The yice-president proposed that the house ignore the rescript and re- turn it to the emperor-king. The house unanimously accepted the proposal with prolonged cheers. Thereafter the minutes of the meeting were adopted. the deputies were notified to reassem- ble on Wednesday and then the house adjourned.
 The royal rescript diss0lying parlia- ment was left lying unopened on the presidents desk and the members left the house singing the Kossuth hymn. The floor was almost cleared when a captain of Hungarian militia, at the head of five soldiers with fixed bayo- nets, and large number of policemen. who had previously entered by side door, entered the house. The captain and the soldiers mounted the presl- dents tribune and the policemen oc- cupied the floor. The captain then opened and read the rescript amid con stant interruptions from the galleries and some of the deputies who returned to the floor and all present united in singing the Kossuth hymn, with result that not a word of the rescript could be heard. The police escorted several Of the noisy members from the floor and then slowly cleared the galleries and corridors. A large crowd of cheer ing deputies escoraed Francis Kossuth, Count Albert Apponyi and other lead. CTS from the house, which was sur rounded by five squadrons of cavalry, one regiment of infantry, battalion of militia and a thousand policemen.

DEATH OF FIRE HORSE
Is Ssbjeet fer Considerable Diseussiea is Many
 Places Teddy.

In regard to the accident which oc- cured on North Willow street yes teriay in which one of the fire horses of the North Willow street was Kill ed, the wagon injured and the men thrown out, there Is much talk going on around the city today. Horse men and drivers In general think that 1t Is a very difficult undertaking to bring the hose wagon and three big horses down North Willow street in safety and some assert that such an accident as happened yesterday Is li- able to occur at any moment. With three horses weighing about 15O0 pounds each, a total of 4,J00. and the weight of the wagon increased by the five or six men, the load is such that 1t is impossible to bring 1t down that incline. Some assert that when Driy- CT Bywater handed the reins to Cap tain Doderer yesterday, he knew at the time that the horses were already beyond his control and consequently gave them to the captain to sec if the latter could once more get them under check. This is all the more evident, So 1t Is stated. since the accident hap pened about fifty feet after the reins changed hands. A prominent driver today said that al kinds of chances gre being taken by the North Willow street boys when they come tearing down that incline with three horses dragging the truck. Besides. the pave ment makes 1t all the more difficult as horses. even though shod as well ss possible. find 1t difficult to get footing. The two accidents on North Willow street certainly tend to show that something Is wrong somewhere in regard to the pavement or drivers and II should be remedled as soon as possible. When Chief Snagz was ask cd today if it was true that tbe borses got beyond the driver he an- swered T do not think so. All I know Is what the captain told me snd what I think is true. that the rein broke spd accident resulted. When asked ff he did not think thst North Willow street is q bad street to drive down he answered -No. not of the driver is careful

Now Woman Must Stand
 Trial.
SHE WAS HIS SLAVE
He Chased Her Into the Street Last July-She Shot Him Three Times After He
 Had Been Arrested.

New York, Feb 19.-The unrave1ins Of an unusually mysterious and pa- thetic murder was expected to begin today in the trial in the court of gen eral sessions of Berthe Claiche, 22- year-old French girl, on the charge or shooting and killing Emil Gerdron on the night of July s last.
 Berthe Claiche claims that Gerdron, who was a young giant, standing over six feet tall and weighing nearly 25O pounds, had made her his slave for six years, during which time she said ne beat her and forced her upon the streets to earn living for him. 50 impressive was her story that the money for her defense has been large ly supplied by contributions from wo- men of New York city. Although the girl admitted that she killed Gerdron, the circumstances surrounding the shooting were so unusual that they have given rise to charges that mem bers of the police had secretly urged the girl on. Gerdron was shot while under arrest and walking along the street in the custody of three officers. It is now claimed that $500 which GerlrOn is said to have had on his person at the time was missing when the contents of his pockets were turned over to police headquarters.
 Berthe Claiche said that Gerdron borught her here from France when she was 16 years old and forcibly made her a woman of the streets. On the night of July 8 she ran from her room and complained to three officers whom she had met that Gerdron had beaten her and that she wanted him arrested. While she was making the request Gerdron himself scame up and was placed in custody. It is alleged that he then turned upon the girl exclaim- ing:
 "I'll kill you. You will have me ar rested, viii you? Well, you are as good as dead now.'
 A moment afterward when his back was turned Berthe Claicne shot him three times and as she gave herself up to the officers she cried:
 q am glad killed him and l would no it twenty times over. He made me his slave. but he will never raise his hand against another woman
 |
 When placed In jail the girl said that she was happier there than she had been for q long time.
 During the trial it Is expected that one of the witnesses will be a police man who is alleged to have said that he forced another police officer to give him a diamond locket, a gold watch and stick pin on the threat that if they were. not given he would inform the head of the department that these articles had been taken from Gerdron's s body.
 Another peculiar phase in connection with this case developed yesterday when Charlotte Smith, president of the Rescue league, appeared in Jefferson Market police court and testified to the good character of Mrs Martha Francis, who she said Is an important witness for Berthe Claiche. A police man charged that Mrs Francis attempt. ed to bribe him when he tried to ar rest her on charge of keeping an i'm moral resort. 2

WILL NOT DISCUSS IT
Authorities at Boise Refuse to Talk About the Steunenburg
 Murder.

Boise, Idaho, Feb 19.-The authori- ties here refuse to give any informa- tion respecting the nature of the evi- dence against President Mover and Secretary Heywood of the Western Federation of Miners, and George A. Pettibone. J. H. Hawley, chief coun- sel for the prosecution, refuses to af- firm or deny the report that Harry Orchard, the man in custody for the murder of former Governor Sreunen- burg, has confessed, but says that the state has evidence sufficient to convict all three men.
 George A. Pettibone was connected with the Occur fAlene riots of 1892 and was one of five men sentenced to prison in Detroit for year for vfoia- tion of the injunction of the federal court restraining the miners from in Steunenburg, of Idaho.
