THE Riqht OF Way"

Those who visited the RoUlSon op
era house last evening were accord
ed a treat as rare as IL was ap-
preciated. in the dramatization and
acting OF The Right Of Way
of the most famous modern nov
els and one which is believed by
literary critics will become class
ic.
The dramatization departs some
what from Sir Gilbert Parker's
rovcl but gains something in the
happier ending and puts the audi
ence In a better humor. The action
OF the play is in Montreal and
later in an old French parish, two
hundred miles away
The scenery in the last four acts
is beautiful.
The important characters are

1t is not a matter of common infor
nation that chrysanthemum is stall
fed for months previous to show in
a manner that is little different from
that followed in preparing prime
porker or any other of the blue ribbon
winners to compete for honors. Yet
such is the case. 1t is further fact
that the chrysanthemum is the great
est gourmand of the flower world and
consumes such quantities of food as
would surfeit and kill any of the other
entries in flower show.
The department of agriculture at
Washington puts on each year the big
gest chrysanthemum show In the
whole country. 1t &sts for two weeks
along in mid November and fanciers
from far and wide come to see it.
There are shown on that occasion the
greatest aggregation of wonders that

one glass. Being the official collect.

.IRELAND'S GREAT
OPPORTUNITY
MANIFESTO BY JOHN e. RED.
MoND, LEADER OF THE
IRISH PARTY.
TO AMERICA
ONLY LORDS VETO STANDS IN
WAY OF HOME RULE
FOR IRELAND.

London-John E. Redmond, leader
Of the Irish party, has forwarded a
manifesto to T. P. O'Connor, president
of the United Irish League of Great
Britain. who is now in New York, ad-
dressed to the friends of Ireland in
the United States and dealing with
the British political crisis.
Redmond congratulates O'Connor
on the success. of his mission in Amer
lea and expresses the gratitude of the
Irish party at the warm response OF
the American people to Ireland's ap-
peal. The manifesto says:
Never has the situation confront
ing Ireland been at the same time
more critical and more hopeful"
Then, outlining the broad principles
of the struggle that has arisen be-
tween the house of lords and the
house of commons, it continues:
"As between the two great English
parties in this contest, the Irish party
stands absolutely independent. Not
for 100 years has such an opportunity
been offered to Ireland. The lords
veto has been recently described by
Rosebery and Lansdowne as the only
remaining safeguard against the
granting of home rule to Ireland. All
that is necessary to enable Ireland to
profit by this opportunity is that the
unity, discipline and efficiency of the
party be maintained.
But the Irish party is threatened
with grave danger. Against it are ar
rayed great and wealthy interests and
Unionists have declared their inten
tion of naming candidates in every
constituency in Ireland with the
avowed purpose of exhausting the
party's funds. This policy was tried
against Parnell in 1856 and failed ig
ANONYMOUSLY, thanks to Americas gen
erosity. So far as voting is con
cerned, it will fall more ignominious
ly now than in 1886, but the extra eX
penditure involved will severely taA
the party's resources. We therefore
would welcome the ever-generous sup
port of our friends in America ant
trust it will not fail us until victory
has been won.'

show. The greatest success 80 far as
flower is concerned may be only an
Insignificant affair when grown unde;
normal conditions, but when put in the
hands of the trainers and fatteners it
will be given an opportunity to show
its fine points as would an object too
small for appreciation by the naked
eye when placed under the micro
scope
The natural tendency Of all varieties
of chrysanthemums is to put forth
many shoots and produce many flow
ers. If allowed to do this no plant
produces a flower bigger than the
mouth of teacup. These would be
poor specimens in chrysanthemum
show where there are hundreds Of
flowSrs that are sarger across than a
dinner plate.
These big flowers are produced in
the course of the training for the show
or for a fancy market. The first prin-
ciple in their development is to con.
fine the vigor of the entire plant to
one stalk and to allow this stalk to
produce only one flower. From the
beginning of the growth of the plant
it's development Is constantly watched
and every attempt to shoot out
branches is "nipped in the bud" The

Republican Leader Dies.

Denver.-Winfield Scott Boynton
surveyor of customs at Denver, and
one of the foremost Republican politi
clans of the state, died at his home
979 Lincoln street, yesterday after
noon at 4 80 O'Clock after long i'll
ness. Death was due to heart dis
ease.
In commenting upon Mr.. Boynton'
death, the News says: With the pass
ing OF Boynton, the old guard which
surrounded the late Edward o. VOL
colt, and made his name in state poll
tics one to conjure by, is cut down to
a mere handful. He was one OF the
ablest of that chieftain's lieutenants
and his hand helped to write much OF
the political history OF the state.
Few men have had the power placed
in their hands which Boynton welded
and few men have used such power
to less personal advantage than did
Boynton. Twice he may be said to
have had the governorship of the state
in his hands In 1902 he was offered
the nomination by United States Sen
ator Wolcott and refused it on the
ground that his personal affairs need
ed his attention. James II. Peabody
was the second choice and was elect
ed. If Boynton had accepted, the his
tory of the state might have been far
different.
He was offered and declined three
consulShips, and twice refused the
state craftsmanship of his party, when
his friends were in absolute control.

ctalk attains much strength and vigor.
1t almost bursts itself with the grow.
ing.
At this point is begun the feeding
process. There are as great va
riety of foods for plants as there are
for animals, and the chrysanthemum
groom is thoroughly familiar with
these. He begins the feeding with
some such fertilizer as plant blood,
which contains nitrate of soda, sui
phate of soda, ammonia or some such
substance. These are plant appetiz
ers and are like iron in the blood and
lime In the bones OF the human race
The dose is carefully studied that ev'
cry plant may have what it needs
and no more. 1t is administered about
twice a week in the growing period.
The condition of the plant must OF
necessity be carefully looked into. II
plant gets a backset, for instance.
and temporarily stops growing, it must
be as carefully fed as would be an i'll
baby. To give it its regular meal
would be identically, like giving a
fevered child beefsteak. 1t would kill
the plant. Its diet must be made very
light until it has recovered from it's
indisposition. This prepared break
fast food for flowers is fed to them
with spoon. The caretaker goes
about and administers the portion
needed with all the care and discrim-
ination of trained nurse.
The diet of the plant must be care
fully varied, for any palate in nature
revolts at monotony. The plant
blood is followed by sheep fertilizer,
carefully sterilized to prevent its
bringing any other vegetable life into
the pot. When the chrysanthemum
has tired of this food other fertilizers
are substituted and eaten by the plant
with the relish of novelty. There are
dozens of feeds that are introduced in
this way in the course of the develop
ment of the plant
Finally the great stalk comes to the
age when the flower is to put forth.
Only one bud is allowed to develop on
a bush and this under the most ia
vorable conditions. All of the strength
of the excellently nurtured plant is to
go into one flower All the care of

some rather remarkable stunts in
breeding this evoluted daisy and what
with the huge feeding the show that
is put on is really worth while.
AS far back as preceding February
the development of the plants that
were to produce the prize winners
was begun. The deceptive tempera-
lures of the hothouses led the hiber-
mating roots of last year to believe
that springtime had come and shoots
were sent forth. The early plants
were selected and potted. They were
placed under conditions most favora-
