Frozen Flowers.
From the Dundee Advertise

From the Dundee Advertiser.
The possibility of preserving the fresh
ness Of flowers by refrigeration was dis
covered some time ago, and has been
carried out with success. The flowers
are pIucked before they are full grown,
and placed in the refrigerator during
transport. When they are taken out
and put in water they return slowly to
life and completely open without having
lost any of their color or vitality. A
curious fact is that the natural develop
ment of the flower. after being suspended
by the cold, proceeds at much slower
rate, so that the flowers remain fresh
in a room much longer than they would
have done under ordinary circumstances.
One advantage of the discovery is that
some beautiful foreign species may be-
come more generally known, such. for
instance, as the beautiful iris. which
grows profusely in wild state in South
Africa, and the magnificent blooms which
waste their sweetness on the declivities
of the South American Andes.

4 COLLEGE TRAGEDY
DARTMOUTH GRADUATE SHOOTS HIS sWEETHEART AND THEN
 KILLS HIMSELF.
BROKEN ENGAGEMENT PROMPTED CRIME
Porter McDongall Smith of Chicago Fatally Wounds Helen Warden of somervilIe, Mass, on the Campus of Smith College and Puts an End to Ills Own Life.


 Northampton, Mass, Apr. S0.--Por- ter MacDougall Smith. Dartmouth graduate, shot and fatally wounded Miss Helen Aver Marden of Somerville. member of the senior class at smith college. on the Smith campus today and then shot and killed himself Miss Warden died shortly before noon.
 The shooting took place shortly after g o'clock this morning directly in front of one of the students buildings and almost created panic among the stu dents.
 Miss Marden was daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Marden of s3 Boston street, Somerville, who are widely 0nown socially in that city. MT. Mar den is head of the firm of Warden. Orthweln & Hastings. dealers in oils and tannery supplies. with an office on Church street, Boston. He left fof Northampton this morning as soon as he heard of the tragedy.
 1t is understood that 1t was broken engagement that led up to the shoot ing. Smith had been very attentive to Miss Marden and was frequent visi- tor at the college. Their associations were all the closer because of the fact that both had sisters at Smith, and the sisters were close chums. The student body al Smith had looked upon the romance for long time in an interest ed way, but 1t was not generally known that anything had come between Smith and Miss Marden.
 There were only two or three per sons on the campus when the tragedy took place. The last bell for classes had rung at s:10 o'clock. and 1t was said that Miss Warden mad received some communication which prompted her not to attend About s:30 o'clock. il appears. Smith joined Miss Marden. and the two were seen walking to- gether on the campus. Little atten- tion was paid to them until three shots were heard Persons then on the cam pus saw the girl lying on the walk and a man standing over her with the re- voiver. They had hardly turned to look when they saw Smith place the re- volyer against his own head and fire. He was dead when the first corners reached him.
 The president of the college was at once notified and Dr. Perry and Dr. Copeland were called. They found that the girl was still living and she was hurried to the Dickinson hospital. Smith had evidently died where he fell. The physicians examination showed that one bullet had taken effect in the side of Miss Marden's head and two others in her back. She was at once placed on the operating table. but the physicians said that they had no hope for her recovery.
