WARDLAW SISTERS ASK AID
CHARGED WITH MURDER WANT
HELP OF METHODISTs.
Father Was For Fifty Years Min
lister. Bishop Key Declares the
Charge Unthinkable.


NEWARK, N. 1.-THE three aged
Wardlaw sisters, in jail here await
ing trial charged with the murder
of Mrs. Ocey Snead at East Orange
last November, have sent letter to
Bishop Anderson and the clergymen
of the Methodist conference now in
session here, asking for assistance.
The letter tells of the life of the
late Rev. John 3. Wardlaw, father
OF the accused women, who for fifty
years was Methodist minister. The
women say that they are the VIC
inns OF the most extraordinary and
phenomenal injustice" that they
nave been falsely accused, and ask
the church to give them their aid by
bringing spiritual administration"
to them, and doing whatever else
lies in the power of the conference
to assist them
The letter of the aged sisters was
discussed informally at a meeting of
Bishop AndersOn's cabinet, but the
conference adjourned without taking
official notice of the matter. Ac-
.companying the letter was an en-
closure from Bishop Joseph S. Key
of Sherman, Tex, saying he had
known the Wardlaw family for fifty
years, and that the sisters are among
the most cultured and refined ladies
of the land. The charge against
them he characterized as "unthink-
able" Two other bishops and hun
dreds of Methodist ministers, the
sisters say, have sent them letters
expressing faith in their innocence.
DR.. Jesse L. Hurlbutte, superin-
tendent of the Newark district, ex-
planned that the conference could not
help the prisoners, as it would be
necessary to constitute itself a court
of justice to do so.

The Georgian Is Again Under Treat
ment of Physician.
A Washington dispatch says:
Senator Clay took advantage of the
senate not being in session Sunday to
run over to Baltimore and consult the
physicians at Johns Hopkins in re-
gard to digestive trouble which has
worried him for some time.
When Senator Clay returned to
Washington in January after being
under the care of an Atlanta physi-
clan he was very much improved
But under the heavy strain of work
in the senate his convalescence has
been halted, and during the past sew
eral days he has not been well.
Senator Clay is the only democratic
member of the senate appropriations
committee who is able to attend the
sessions, Senators Tillman, Daniel,
Culberson and Foster all being on the
sick list.

vINING DEAD FROM WOUNDS.
Was Shot by KaigIer, His Brother
in-Law, in Georgetown.

Mr.. Walter Vining of Georgetown,
Ca, who was wounded by a gun
shot in the neck by his brother-in-
law, John Kaigler, also of George
town, in difficulty over some family
differences some weeks ago, died at
an infirmary in Montgomery from the
effects of an operation.
Mr.. Vining was the eldest son of
the late Scion Vining, sheriff of
Quitman county, and was highly es-
teemed in the community. His
death is terrible blow to his moth
er and family, of whom he was the
head, and whose help to them in all
things meant so much. He was
about twenty-five years of age.
AT the recent session of the su-
perior court of Quitman county the
grand jury refused to indict Kaigler
for shooting Vining.

BERRIES ON ROSE BUSH.
Fruit Produced BY Cross-Graft Has
Pineapple Flavor.

An edible fruit from the climbing
rose has been produced by Hugo
Lilenthal, Berkeley, Cal, horticul-
turist. He declares that the fruit
will in course of time take the place
of the Loganberry, to which it is al
lied.
Lilenthal succeeded in obtaining
the fruit by cross-grafting. The
fruit, which he says is quite nutri-
tious and has flavor like a pine
apple, may be eaten either raw or
cooked.

America OF our has ever been able to
boast. An island in Long Island sound
nine miles long by one and q half
miles wide-was purchased by Card.
ner from the Indians for zone gun, Q
few Dutch blankets, and one large,
black dog" year or so after Gardiner
landed in Boston, 1885. The purchase
Of the land was confirmed by the
agents Of Lord Sterling, and by the
terms the island was constituted a
separate plantation, in no wise depend.
ing upon New England or New York,
and its owner was empowered to make
all laws necessary to church and state.
A few years later the governor Of New
York consented to the erecting Of the
island into a lordship and manor, to
be called Gardeners Island, and Lion
Gardiner was practically king, living
in handsome manor house, with wife
and two children, and q retinue Of
servants. The principal part Of Smith
town, L. l., was given to Lion, as re-
ward for rescuing a bride-the daugh-
ter Of an Indian sachem-on the night
Of her nuptials. She was carried on
by a hostile tribe Of Indians, but res.
cued by Gardiner.
Gardiner Island, like an almost royal
domain, had its hundred or more re-
tainers; rarely less than so horses
were stabbed there; 300 cattle grazed
in its sunny pastures, and FIVE times
as many sheep. The island is still in
possession Of descendants Of Lion, who
left 1t to his son David.
Without mention Of Capt. Kidd this
story is incomplete. When the pirate
anchored in Gardeners bay he helped
himself to whatever he wanted, and
added insult to injury by tying Mr..
Gardiner to q mulberry tree. Upon
taking leave Of the island he showed
where he had buried box of treasure,
and said that II he never returned It
belonged to the family. To the lady
Of the manor he gave a present of
cloth Of gold, a bit Of which is still
a family relic. In the buried box were
six diamonds, rubies small and great,
81 green stones. So other precious
stones, silver bars without number,
and one gold bar, coral necklace, and
IS bales of silk. somewhat 'damnifed'

characteristics Of the GARDENERS are

In the year 1895 rose the greatest
food of which history makes any rec

the wall Of the kings garden" All
the island was covered, and from the
foot of the hill of the university to the
rising ground beyond the Marrais. the
upper stories of the houses rose out OF
a lake a mile wide. In that flood was
swept away the old stone bridge that
Charles the Bold had built centuries
earlIer-before ever the Normans be-
sieged the town; and in that food the
Petit Chatelet was destroyed. the
Petit Pont fell into the river also, but
that was nothing wonderful, for 1t was
the most unfortunate of bridges. and
never stood firmly for 80 years at a
stretch, but was forever being de-
stroyed and regularly rebuilt. The
