Romance of the Sweet Pea

sweet pea first came to us from the Sicilian nuns.
Franciscus Cupani, a monk, who was also a
botanist sent the, first seeds to England in the
year 1899, consigned to an Enfield schoolmaster
named DR. Uvedale. The old Mddlesex dominic
was both a botanist and horticulturlst and he
grew the first sweet peas ever seen in England.
Cupani called the plant Lathyrus distoplaty-
phyllus hirsutis, mollis ct odorus-an unwieldy
name, out of all harmony with the winged grace
of the sweet pea. Later Linnaeus cut down the
clumsy designation to its present form of Lathy
odoratus
Dr. Uvedale found the seeds produced a plant
with purple flowers, and here we have the
color of the original sweet pea.
The stock was gradually multiplied, and about
thirty years later one Robert Furber. Kensing
ton gardener was the first to offer seeds for
sale.
Progress in the production of new varieties
was slow In those remote days. and it was not
until the year 1898 (nearly century later than
Cupani's consignment of seeds) that any new col.

channel of the Mississippi is as deep
as that of the Rhine and over large
portion of the distance is deeper He
ascribes the cause for the greater

also to the fact that the railroads are
obliged by law to charge per cent
! higher rates for traffic between river
points than steamers and barge lines
charge. The facilities for handling
the traffic are also greater along the
Rhine. The means of loading and
unloading barges and boats, he claims,
is in its primitive stage on the Mis-
sissippi If city government would
provide better harbors and wharves

loading barges quickly, more business
would be attracted to the river and
there would be less difficulty in induc-

HUGHES QUITS
TIE GRAND
Well Known Theatrical Manager Re-
tires From the Management Of
keokuk Opera House at
End Of Season.
HE GOES TO DAVENPORT
keokuk Will Regret that This Eff
cient Amusement Director Has
Decided to Relinquish
Control.

d. l., Hughes gives it out that he
will retire from the management of
the Keokuk opera house at the end
Of the season, soon closing. The stu
alton now In matters theatrical In
Keokuk, Mr.. Hughes feels, does not
warrant him in giving his time to
the business here. Solely from a
business standpoint then, he with
draws from the Keokuk opera house
that he may give his personal atten-
ton to his houses in Davenport and
Moline, and some new theatrical in
terests The representatives of the
property have known of his intentions
for several weeks. Just what dispo-
sition will be made of the property is
not known, but Mr.. Hughes says it
will go back again to the Burlington
people, the Chamberlin-Harring
company. Mr.. Hughes is not leaving
Keokuk. This will still be his home,
and he will only be temporarily alb
sent during the regular season.
II is to be regretted that Mr..
Hughes retires from the theatrical
business in Keokuk, in which line he
has had a wide experience and a
knowledge that placed him leader in
the amusement line. For almost a
score of years he gave earnest and
conscientious thought to present the
highest talent for the entertainment
of Keokuk theatre lovers. Many Of
them fully appreciated the effort but
it is to be regretted that the volume
of appreciation was too limited to
justify continuation of his efforts.
Perhaps a larger encouragement
would have induced him to continue
1.-THE management of the Keokuk house,
but it was not Forthcoming SO he de-
cided, as any other sagacious min
ager would do, to change to a field
that is more inviting and where the
opportunities are broader. His many
Keokuk friends will wish for him the
fullest measure of success i in the
management of his Davenport. and
Moline properties and Of any others
that he may choose to direct.
f. But we are going, to hope that with
the Greater Keokuk', in the near
future we will have new and great,
er opera house." and there is no one
that all Keokuk would rather see in
its management than D. l.. Hughes.
