Mayor Walter Lemann went to New
Orleans last Monday, and in COM
pany with Messrs. l.. E. Bentley and
E. P. Brady. Of that city, appeared
before the board of Trustees of
Southern University and put up a
very creditable claim in behalf of
ST. Elmo as the site for the school,
which is to be removed from New
Orleans. They contended that the
Ascension location ought to be first
choice, but made a strong bid for
second place in the event the board
approved the committees selection
of the Landry plantation near New
Iberia, which of course was done.

THE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK
IMPEACHED.

After an all-night session, the low
er house of the New York legislature
on August 13 adopted articles of i'm
peachment directed against Gov. viii
atam Sulzer, the vote standing z!
yeas to 45 nays. AS a result of this
actionss Lieut.. Gov. Martin III. GIynI
claims to be the acting governor o.
the state, but Gov. sulzer refuses tt
give up possession of the office, con
tending that he is entitled to ho1d
1t until the senate tries and conyicts
him.
A proposition from Gov. Sulzer tt
submit the matter to the courts OF
an agreed statement Of facts has beer
declined by the lieutenant governor
on the ground that he succeeds to tn
office by operation of the law ana
has no right to make his title a sub
Ject of personal barter or agreement
There are eight articles of i'm
parchment, and 1000 words are EN-
ployed in their composition, but the
gist of the charges can be briefly
stated as follows:
i. False statement of his cam.
paign receipts and expenses, from
which eleven contributions ranging
from 500 to $4,000 each were pur-
pose1y omitted.
2. Willful and corrupt perjury in
swearing to this false statement.
). Feloniously bribing witnesses
to withhold testimony from the COM
mittee Investigating HIS campaign ae-
counts.
4. Practicing deceit and fraud to
prevent said committee from securing
the attendance and testimony of GER
tain witnesses.
3. Preventing and dissuading a
witness from attending under a
subpoena.
D. Using a part Of his campaign
fund in stock speculations,> thus be-
ing guilty of theft and larceny.
4. Promising and threatening to
use the authority of the governors
office to affect the votes or political
action of certain public officers, in
Guiding two assemblymen.
). Corruptly employing his author
lty as governor to affect prices of
securities on the New York Stock
Exchange, in some Of which he was
Specializing.
The impeachment trial is set for
September Is. and Hts progress will
DC watched with great interest all
over the country. One of the most
sensational incidents attending the
controversy is the statement by Gov.
Suffers wife that the stock specula-
ions were conducted by herself, with
,ut her husbands conniyanee or
knowledge. but lit is doubtful IL this
Confession will have much weight liz
he allegations of Misrepresentation
md misuse of campaign funds and
Lbuse of gubernatorial authority, are
ustained.
The primary cause of Gov. Sui
er's trouble is to be found in his re-
,olt against the dictafion of the
sammany organization, and this fact
lone is sufficient to produce wide
pread hope among the people of the
United States that he will be able to
ueeessfully meet and refute the accu.
atoms Of misconduct leVe1ed against
i'm.

JUST AS GOOD AS THE FERN
FIowering Cyclamen Would Be Change
in Decoration, and Is Equally to
Be Depended Upon.

The ever present fern dish as a CEN
terpiece for the dinner table has be-
come almost as much a part of the
service as the knives and forks or as
cereal for breakfast in the American
household, and when one ventures to
suggest that change would be quite
cheering to the spirits as well as the
eye, every one says: But there's no
other plant that can be depended up
on" There is, though, and a very
hardy one. This is the Towering cycla-
men, either white or the deep rose
color. which will put forth new shoots
and new blossoms continually from
November to April, and it is such a
graceful, pretty plant, which instead
of growing less attractive after a few
blossoms have bloomed and fallen, be-
m bushier and more interesting
each day.
The original cost is small, a dollar
or SO buying a very good specimen,
and If planted in a wide, low flower
pot and set in a pretty basket, one has
a charming plant, suitable for any one
or all Of ones informal home meals.

GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR SULZER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties of friendship exist
lng between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner Of the University Club of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have a common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men Of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles of
u~ndefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect Of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel of n hundred years of peace. 1t
matters not so much as to the form
Of the outward celebration, but let US
hope that its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
tons, and that, whether north or south
OF the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
OF peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary OF
North America"
Many of Jul best citizens, 1 regret

tebrates II per cent. The stomachs
of the eastern forms show 6S per
cent, spiders 4 per cent, and verte-
brates % per cent.
The difference is undoubtedly. due
to climate, the western bird being
able to find insects all the year round,
while the eastern one gets very few
during the winter.
While the southern butcher bird
eats a few birds and some useful
insects, its diet is on the whole very
much in it's favor, as the consumption
of grasshoppers far outweighs the
harm to birds and beetles. AS a
feature of the landscape, and as lend
ing animation to rural Genes the
shrike, or butcher bird, in California
is a pronounced success, and, while
not so numerous in the east, it is just
as attractive and is doing the same
good by its food habits.

(Rv F. e. L. BEALl

The southern butcher bird in some
of its numerous forms, is found over
much of the United States, and is
especially common on the Pacific
coast. All the forms retire southwark
at the approach Of winter and in
many localities are replaced during
the cold season by the northern
butcher bird, which m down from
the north and winters in the United
States.
The butcher bird resembles a bird
of prey in form of beak and to a GER
tain extent in food habits, but it
has no talons such as enable the true
birds of prey to seize their victim
and hold it while tearing it to pieces.
For the investigation of the food of
the southern butcher bird 124 stom-
achs of the western sub-species were
examined and So of the eastern. The
western bird showed rs per cent. of

birds consists of 83 per cent. spiders

beaded in Bulgarian colors Of red, blue
and green, is invaluable in supplying
a needed touch to trimming or a
bright note of color. Embroidered in
old green and blue floss with threads

sign on silk braid makes an inexpen-
sive vesting. A banding of honiton
braid and small colored roses applied
on a black net ground gives distinc-
ton to a cotton crepe.
Silk bands supporting velvet for
get-me-nots and roses form a pretty
trimming for debutante dresses. An
insertion of multi-patterned linen lace
on batiste is an ideal trimming for a
lingerie dress, as it gives the impress
