WHEELING w. Va, August 26.-Is j.

man answering the description of Kemp,
which sent broadcast throughout the
country, is in the Logan county Jail await
ing the arrival of the Neutrality-suspicious.. but

Arrested at Holden.
The local police have been notified over
the ng-distance telephone by Sheriff
Moore of Logan county of the detention
there of the man believed to be Kemp. The
suspect arrested yesterday at Holden,
small mining town in the southwestern
part of the state and taken to the county
Jail at Logan.
The prisoner claims to be Con Far
ley" and says he came to the mines from
Kentucky. He had been in Holden five
days working truck driver in the
mines when arrested. One of the numer-
circulars sent out from Washington
asking for the arrest of Kemp reached
Logan several days ago, and the county
authorities have been on the lookout for a
man answering the description. Sheriff
Moore heard Satu day night that stranger
had recently arrived at the Holden mines
and secured work as a truckman. Yester-
day, with the Washington circular in his
pocket the sheriff drove over to Holden
and after locking Farley" over arrested
him and before night the suspect was
lodged in the county Jail.
In every respect it is said. with the
exception of the mustache Farley tai
lies with the description of Kemp. but he
has been able to give such straightfor-
ward account of himself that the officials
are not certain he is the Washington de-
fauHer. They will not know for certain
until the arrival at Logan some time tonight
OF the detective now on the way from
Washington. Meanwhile Farley" while
declaring that he never heard of Kemp, is
plainly nervous over his detention.
Letter to George Kemp.
In one of ''Farley's" pockets the sheriff
found a letter addressed to George Kemp,
from his mother, bearing the stamp of
Kentucky post office. The prisoner has de-
clined to say how the letter came into his
possession.

NEW YORK, August 28.-William Fife

after the Crusader and to try to make
that yacht beat the Adele in the trial races
held by the Canadian Royal Yacht Club
to select a challenger for the Canada cup.
Before Mr. Fife left he took good look
at the new racing yachts, or such of them
as he could see, and carefully studied the
way American designers are working out
the American rule. He had good oppor-
tunity to see the Seneca. the yacht built
by Herreshoff to defend the Canada cup,
and as that yacht defeated the challenger
Mr.. Fife must have profited by what he
saw.
One day he spent at City Island. He
went there to look the Effort over, but was
disappointed because that yacht was not
hauled out that day and SO he could not
see in what direction Henry j. Gielow is
working how he has turned out what is
without doubt the fastest sloop OF her size
in these waters.

Outlook for Challenge.

There has been much talk of a challenge
coming and Mr.. Fife is the authority for
the statement that things look bright for a
race for the Americas cup next season,
and after he made that statement stories
were circulated about defenders being built
by American yachtsmen. Most of these
stories are just talk. One yachtsman who
was credited with having cup defending
aspirations has announced that he would
not have a cup defender a gift, and at

Plants will not grow without food
and water. There generally is enough
rain to supply their needs, as the roots
will go down more deeply in dry
weather to secure the needed moisture,
If there Is a necessity for water, which
will be shown by the plant beginning
to wilt, 1t ought to be soaked thorough
ly. Mere sprinkling will have to be
constant to do any good. Food is an
important matter for plants as well
as animals. Only three substances
have any value as plant food, These
are nitrogen, potash and phosphoric
acid. If each plant was to get exactly
of these what it required it would be
an ideal way, but we have to strike a
general average on this as on other
matters. If thoroughly rotted manure
can be had it is the best but the usual
supply is full of weed seeds, which
give no end Of trouble. Still, if the
soil Is stiff it should be used to tighten
it up, or if sandy to give it substance.

seeds and can be had from any respOn.

them, and the results are SO favorable
that they are meeting popular ap-
proval. 1t is hardly necessary TO say
that all weeds must be kept out. In
dry weather they can be hoed out
and will die, but when the ground is
wet 1t is better to pull them out. The
earth ought not to be allowed to be-
come hard, as air is needed for the
roots, but when plants are set out It
is necessary to firm the soil around
them to prevent their being washed

FOR THE GARDENER
SOMETHING NEW IN FLOWERS
AND PLANTS.
Germany Has Contributed Rose IN
Bright Coral Pink-Rubber Plant
with Fine Foliage-Proper
Method of GRATING.

There is a Aew variety of the poly.
antha rose. 1t originated in Germany
and is named the "Aeunchen Muller"
The color is bright coral pink.
The novelty about this especial va
riety of polyantha rose is the fact that
its petals curl back longitudinally in a
very even and curious way giving it
its name of revoluta
1t grows only a foot and a half to
two feet high, and so it is very desir-
able for bedding out in compact mass
es, also for forcing in pots. Abroad it
is being grown successfully. y keeps
in flower from June until late In the
autumn.
A New York dealer is the agent for
a new rose that originated in faraway
Queensland, Australia, which is differ
ent from other tea roses. 1t is the
first rose from that land to win a gold
medal.
The fine blossoms are borne singly,
with strong guard leaves, on the ends
Of good stalks. The color is crimson
at the base, shading to white, with a
crimson flush beneath tho petals.
If a rubber plant is to be had for
foliage, why not select the majestic
kind known as Ficus pandurata? This
has very different leaves from the
common kind No handsomer green,
but In shape somewhat like an oak,
or the liriodendron, or tulip poplar, as
1t is generally called.
The leaves are often ten inches wide
by 10 inches long. 1t does not "spran-
gle," to use an expressive country ex-
preston, as the old kind is apt to do.
1t has more treelike effect. OF
course the rubber plant which has
grown awkwardly or has become too
large can be made over into other
trees. This is the way: You root the
cuttings on the tree, which Is an Irish
bull. That is to say instead Of cutting
the branches and then roofing them in
the usual way in sand, another method
has to be adopted for this milky
juiced plant. A sponge or some sphag-
mum moss must be tied about the
place that is to be severed later This
packing is TO be kept wet. Little roots
will start out, and when those are suf-
ticiently developed then the branches
may be severed and each will make a
new tree.
