The violet does best in moderately
rich, misunderstanding, loamy compose
soil, with no rank manure within
reach of the roots. The planting should
be firmly done, crowding of the plants
not allowed, and but little space be-
tween the lights and the plants per-
mItted; therefore, the foundation Of the
bed must not be of a yielding char.
acter, and for this purpose nothing is
worse than manure or tree leaves.

Jacques
THE LITTLE GREY LApY.n

No play presented at the Jacques this summer has attracted the atten- ton that has been shown to The Little Grey Lady" this weeks bill. The piece tells an interesting and powerful story and is exceptionally we'll played by the stock company. Perry Carlyle, the leading male char acter, played by Richard Gordon, is a very interesting type. He is i'll tue 'employ of the treasury offices in Wash ington and gets into serious scrape over the disappearance of sum ot money. Mir Gordon plays the part with distinction. "The Litt'e Grey Lady," Anna Grey, is played by Miss Frances Nordstrom, who grves high ly praiseworthy performance. Miss Nordstrom's work In the emotional scenes is excellent. The love interest in the play is strong and there are many moments when the heart inter- est of the piece holds the audience with closest attention. Souvenirs on Saturday night. Next week the at- traction will be "The Octoroon.'

Highland Falls and West Point Ex-
 cited by italian Rioters.
 WEST POINT, N. r., Aug 9-A re- port that lynching had occurred just outside the government reservation threw the adjoining town of Highland Falls into considerable excitement last night. An Italian was said to have been strung up ts tree by a mob of infuriated fellow countrymen after he had assaulted and robbed one of their number. There have been repeated assaults and robberies recently among the Italians employed on the reserva- ton, and reports of these attacks fire. quently rouse the foreign colony to a high pitch of excitement.
 The basis of the lynching rumor was found in the arrest by soldiers of two Italians charged with a brutal assault on comrade. An Italian workman had left the reservation to bring water to his comrades from a spring in the woods nearby. While on his errand the man was set upon, unmercifully beaten and robbed of his watch and what little money he car ried. Other workmen. alarmed by his protracted absence, found the man un- conscious where his assailants had left him. Later he was able to par tially describe the robbers, and the laborers began a systematic search of the surrounding country.
 The matter was also reported to the officer of the day at the West Point Military academy, and detail of sol diers was sent to SCOUT the limitations of the academy grounds.
 Later two men were arrested, and these men are in the guardhouse. They were hastily put in safe re-

The railroads complaints
run something like this: Crops
were so big and business was
so prosperous last year that
more business than we ex-
pected was thrown to us. We
didn't have enough cars to hold
the shipments or enough loco
motives to haul them after
they were loaded. So we will
have to buy more cars and
more engines. But we must
have the money. And Presi-
dent Roosevelt is such an an
archist that he's scared all the
people and they don't seem as
anxious to turn over their
money as they used to be.
Under the circumstances one
might expect to find the rail-
roads praying for a hard freeze
on the first of June and a biz
zard on the Fourth of July.
This is the sentiment of one of
the big papers in the East and
hits the case pretty squarely.
