Primrose 0a,.

Primrose day lin England). the an.
niversary of the death of Benjamin
Disraeli, Lord Beaconsfeld, had its
origin In the tribute, modest wreath
Of primroses, sent by Queen Victoria
for the funeral of Beaconsfield. The
general impression that the primrose
was Beaconsfield's "favorite' flower
came from a misunderstanding OF the
words attached to the queens tribute:
"F. Victoria. His favorite flower" The
public thought the queen meant that
the primrose was Beaconsfeld's IA
vorite flower. when in truth she meant
that it was the favorite flower Of the
prince consort.

THE reports that have come to me from
my investigators" said County Prosecutor
Garven. do not point to robbery as INC

crime. He went at once to the little tarm-
house on high elevation or ground thal

sack River and made a personal lnVestisa-
ton.
He talked with Jacob Mack, who had just

load of vegetables. Mack told the Mayor
that he had left his wife a few minutes
after / o'clock in the morning, and after
kissing her goodby noticed she locheo
the back door, through which her slayerS
are believed to have entered by jmmyins
it open with a spade and pitchfork.
Spite and jealousy are behind this
crime" Mack told the Mayor, and them
according to the town executive. the nus
band OF the murdered woman closed MS
mouth.
Mayor Churchill refused to believe that
the criminals had chloroformed Minnie
Karn, who slept in "A small room adjoining
