MURDER MYSTERY
 BEING SOLVED Deputy Constable J. E. Francis and Deputy Sher- if J. F. Bono Arrest Two Negroes.
ANOTHER BOUND OVER
Prosecutor Jones Says Negro Periured Himself-ShOoting Occurred Some Months Ago But Statement of by. ing Woman Starts Investigation.

Harry Conyers, alias Harry Taylor, Dave Henderson and Sim West, ne- groes, were bound over to await the action of the Jefferson county grand jruy yesterday by Justice L. E. Cheek. Conyers is charged with murder, Henderson with assault to kill and West with perjury. The three negroes are in trouble as a re- suit of the recent death of Sallie Strengthen, negress, at Fairfield, this county, and the mystery sur rounding the death of the woman and its cause, is yet unsolvea by the ofti- cers, notwithstanding they believe that they have the right men.
 The Strengthen woman died recent ly at Fairfield from what was believ- ed to be the effects of a gunshot wound. In her dying statement, it is stated, the woman implicated Tender son and Conyers. She is reported to have related a shooting, which took place at or near Fairfield some months ago, at which time, she said, she received the injury that is believ- ed to have finally caused her death. After the womans statment was re- ported to the authorities here, Prose- cutting Attorney Jones ordered an eX- animation. A physician and Coroner McGaughy went to the place where the woman was buried few days pre- vious and had the body exhumed. The bullet was probed for, but the physic- ians failed to locate the supposed ball. An investigation resulted.
 The arrest of Conyers and Tender son was the outcome. At the prelim- mary hearing yesterday Conyers was

\ CONSIDERATION
 OF THE CRISIS The Opportunity For Sue cessful Dishonesty in
 This Country. LOW STATE OF POLITICS The Inadequacy and Laxity of Law-Banking
 Defects.
LOW STATE OF POLITICS

The lesson of the crisis is not that American commercial honesty Is less than the commercial honesty of other countries, but that the opportunities
 for successful dishonesty are much
 more successful and tempting. Be-
 cause the American people are highly civilized and yet dwell in land which is in need of most of the requirements of modern civilization. Hence it happens that the best intelligence of the country is concentrated upon fur nishing those requirements, and in doing so, in developing the resources of the land. One consequence of this is that, with few distinguished exceptions, the better class of Amerl- cans hold altogether aloof from poli- tics. Politics in consequence, have become career for professional poli- ticians, men of low character for the most part, many of whom have failed in other careers, and most of whom fail to see any other promising open ing The professional politicians act uopn the ignorance and indifference of

MAKING OF WINDOW GARDENS

Every window In a house may have it's small winter garden if one chooses. From among the plants that love shade and the others that must have sun 1t is possible by careful selection to suit all situations. But l would not advise giving up the air and light space of many windows to growing plants; in stead, would suggest that one entire
 bay or recessed window be devoted to Them and all the display made there, with the exception oS the kitchen gar- den," of whichI shall speak later.
 If the usual house-plants are to be the feature of the window, garden-pots will be the more convenient way of handling them; but if something orig inal is desired, window-box wherein pansies, violets, ageratum, alyssum mignonettes, or almost any low-grow- ing and free-howering plants can be shown In a macs, asSin an outdoor bed, win be delightful change.
 Whatever you decide upon, choose a 1 few varieties and have sevaral plants of each rather than crowding the space with single plants of many kinds. And remember that the temperature for plants should be lower than that of the modern living-room, and that they must have fresh air as well as water Go about preparing the plants at once now is the accepted time.
 The Chinese primrose has long been avla, I,o cause of It's constant, free-howering qualities. Get plants at once and pot them in light, spongy soil, being care full to have the crown of each plant well elevated above the surface, which slope away from 1t on all sides so that the water may run away from the plant rather than collect about it. Otherwise the stem and roots will de- cay. The crown of the plant will form several divisions after a little, from each one of which flowers will be pro- duced very freely during the entire winter. The cyclamen is another very pleasing winter er-fowering plant for ann ateur use. It's oddly recurved and twisted petals suggest white, pink, and carmine butterflies lowering over the beautifully marked foliage. Procure strohgroots and pot in rich, sandy foam, we'll drained. Set the corn on the surface Of the soil, pressing it down about half it's depth. Water moderately. Plants generally begin to bloom in December, and until May they will seldom be without flowers The Circle.

they lodged the securities so acquired as collateral security for a loan, with the proceeds of which they bought control of another bank, and so they proceeded until it Is asserted that they had obtained control of banks with deposits amounting roughly to about twenty millions sterling, and of trust companies with deposits of near ly the like amount. It is to be recol- lected that there has been as yet no official inquiry of any kind into the matter, and therefore it is ground less, or at all events grossly exagger- ated. It would, consequently, be quite unfair to take these allegations as if they were proved. But it is quite clear, at the same time, that whether the course of conduct al- legged has or has not been engaged in. the American system of banking and the laxness, both of the law and of it's administration in New York rend- CT the practice at least quite possi- ble. For example, the Mercantile National Bank has capital of three
 
 sterling. Any person or syndicate which can obtain one-half of these shares, plus one, has, under the American law, complete control of the bank has, or lately had, deposits amounting to $12,0O0,000. or 2,4O0,- 900 pounds. Consequently for an out lay of little over 3O0,00 pounds a combination would acquire control of nearly 2,500,000 pounds of deposits while 1t would get, in addition, the undivided profits, which amount to about 100000 pounds. Given @ num- Der of men eager to become great mil lionaires, and careless as to the means by which they attain their end, there is here obviously a strong temp tation to combine together to capture the bank. Indeed, the temptation is so strong that the wonder is that it took effect only quite recently.
 It is reasonably to be expected that the experience now acquired will lead the New York legislature to not mere ly inquire into all the questions rais- cd by the disclosures of the past fort night, but to carry through remedial legislation. If the New York legis- lature fails to do so, we may expect with not little confidence that Pres ident Roosevelt will urge upon con gress the desirabllity of enacting a !. law which will have effect all over the United States. Many remedies might be suggested but 1t is for American public opinion to decide for itself what shall be done. We may be per mitted, however, to observe that the only effectual remedy will be for the better class of Americans to take part in politics, once they assert them selves they will acquire the influence which is due to their character, their intelligence and their position, They will be able to amend defective laws and above, all, they will be in a posi- tlon to insist that the laws shall bt strictly enforced.-Statist.

The Sixth Ward Italian Democrat ic club has passed & resolution in favor of John S. Mccarthy for a plum under Mayor-elect James B. Martin. In the resolutions which have been sent to MT Martin it is stated that MT.

The other night at a little gathering of magazine writers the talk centered around Mir. Bryan's charges against the New York newspapers. "T have worked for many newspapers" said Rohet H. Davis, of Munsey's, land I never knew one yet that wasn't true to it's readers. When I was cub I worked on the Carson Appeal out in Nevada. Late one night when were pulling off the 300 circulation on a Washington hand press a half-dressed in through the door and asked if we had suit of clothes we could let 8 feller have. There were always a lot of old clothes hanging behind the press that anybody was welcome to. We told him to help himself. Pretty soon he was well rigged out.

the vast multitude of immigrants con- stantly pouring into the country, and thus are able to acquire an influence which seems incredible to those not personally acquainted with the United States. Not only have the better classes of Americans held aloof hitherto from domestic politics, but 1t will be recollected that until very few years ago the American people as whole abstained from interference in world politics. They dreaded
 above everything, entangling alliances or engagements. They have, it is true, as a result of the war with Spain, been completely involved in world-politics, and before very long
 better classes of Americans will like wise be compelled to take part in do-

 The States retain to themselves so great an authority over the larger part of ordinary life that the federal ! government can seldom interfere, and
