CHERRY TREES FROM JAPAN
Mr.. Slower Wonders Where to
Plant $500 Just Received.

The twenty-five hundred CHERRY trees
presented by the japanese government to
the city OF New York arrived here yester-
day They were more than three weeks In
transit from Seattle. and their non-appear-
ance had caused a number OF Japanese
citizens to be alarmed for their safety.
Now that the worry incidental to their
arrival is over, Park Commissioner Slower
finds himself deluged with trees and no
place yet decided on where they shall be
planted The japanese prefer Riverside
Drive. with a certain number OF them
around Grants tomb. but the Grants Tomb
Association, whose president is General
Horace Porter, does not want the trees
planted in front of the tomb.
Commissioner Slower said he thought
there would be no objection 10 planting
some OF them back OF the tomb, and that
he would place the japanese bronze tablet
which has also been presented near the Ii
Hung Chang bronze tablet The Commits
sioner found, to his dismay. that one of the
six or seven varieties of the cherry trees
bears large and rather pleasant fruit. II
Il would take one cop to protect every
rose planted In a park in this city the
Commissioner thought II might he neces-
sary to have two cops 10 every fruit
bearing cherry tree.

instead Mine Host F. W Snowden made
preparations for a hundred and a half Of
his old friends, and at least that number
came to pay parting tribute to the old

once famous hotels
In the old days before the advent Of box
ing commissions and FrawIey laws, Bob"
Fitzsimmons and others Of the strong right
arm held forth I'm the hallowed house and
closed their contracts in its corridors. The
six day blcyclists, too, used to adjourn 10

was over and divide the spois amid great
excitement

have gone. and with the Gilsey House and

POSTAL BANK V|G|LANT
First Attempt to SWindIe lnstitu-

TWO BOWERY MEN ARRESTED
Canadian Schoolmaster Made
Deposit Which Prisoners
Endeavored to Collect.

Before he became a frequenter OF the
Bowery, two months ago, Mark Shine'
Canadian schoolmaster. deposited In the
Postal Savings Bank a small amount OF
money. He was asked a number OF ques-
tons, the answers to which were entereo
for future Identification purposes In the
books OF the cashier in the General fost-
office During his rambles Shine became
acquainted with two Bowery denizens, VINO
said they were william McDonough and
James Coogan. In some manner they got
possession OF the schoolmaster's postal GER
tificates.
The two appeared at the window OF the
cashiers Office in the General Postoftice
certificates. the signature on which, II was
later learned, had beeen forged.
Are you Sinner" inquired the cashier.
Sure l am" replied Coogan.
Where do you live, Mr. Shlne?" Coogan
was asked.
"In the Bowery," was the reply, and It's
there have been living for the last three
months"
Coogan's answers did not correspond to
those given by Shine at the time the de-
posit was made, and the cashier became
skeptical. McDonough, who was in earshot
during the proceedings, appeared at the
window.
He is Shine. I'll identify HIM" assured
McDonough.
And who are you?" asked the cashier.
McDonough hesitated, then drew from his
pocket another OF the forged certificates,
which he handed to the cashier.
He's Shine, and sure I'm Shine. toe"
was the reply.
McDonough saw his mistake, and made
a suffering effort TO retract his statement.
The cashier however. had pressed a but
ton beneath his desk and had carefully
folded the forged certificates. Inspectors
Pollitt and Duryea, OF the Postofice De-
partment were called. and when the cir
cumstances OF the case were explained &c
them Coogan and McDonough were taker
into custody.
Shine was questioned. and said he hac
been robbed OF the certificates. The sigma
lures, he said. had been forged.
Coogan and McDonough. when arraignec
before Commissioner Gichrist. were helc
in $500 bail each on charges OF trying Z
