garments back through the transom and
squealed "Fire!” When begot into the
hall he was vainly trying to stab one foot
through the limb of his pantaloon*
while he danced around on the other and
joined in the general cry of "Fire!” The
hall seemed tilled with people, who were
running this wav and that, ostensibly
seeking a mode of egress front the flames,
but in reality trying to dodge the mad
efforts of the young man who was trying
to insert himself in his obstinate panta

the night watchman got a Babcock lire ex

it was, ‘•Sister, wnat are the wild waves

Had Cuiteau Accomplices?
Washington, March 11.—William A.
Cook testified to-day that shortly after his
appointment a» special counsel for the
governmedt In the star route trials he had
an interview with President Garfield, and
the President said: "I want n most thor
ough and impartial ’investigation of the
facts, and wherever it conducts you I
want you to go irrespective of persons.”
Continuing, the witness said: “I had an
interview with the President and the Post
master-General Wednesday evening be
fore the President was assassinated, and
at that time 1 said to him that he should
be carelul of his 'movements. A
bitterness had arisen between
the stalwarts and half breeds, and there
were connected with these cases . men of
extreme training. I said at the time that
there might be a resort to violence. Such
was the impression then on my mind. My
suggestion for a moment touched the Pres
ident, but he responded that there was no
danger. The bitterness of feeling was so
strong that I would not have been sur
prised had it carried itself against the Post
master-General and the Attorney-General.
I don’t think I used at that interview the
language recently placed In my lips by
Mr. James, but stated in substance what I
have given yon. The idea I had was that
the feeling of bitterness was so strong that
it might owrate on the minds of some of
those involved to such an extent os to lead
to violence-that It might assume the form
of desperation.”
"Did you believe that Guiteau had asso
ciates?^ Mr. Springer asked.
"The inference I dreworginally was that
the shooting of the President was not the
result of the individual action of Guiteau,
and I have never become fully satisfied
that that inference is incorrect, A person
came to me, saying that Guiteau, accom
panied by two or three persons, was in his
establishment seeking a pistol. He did
not know the persons accompanying Gui
teau. I had a consultation with Mr. Cork-
hill, the district attorney, concerning an
Investigation that might lead to the dis
covery of others associated with Guiteau.
Immediately after the assassin was incar
cerated he was taken in charge by the dis
trict-attorney and others, and very few
were allowed interviews with him.”
"Did the parties who took cliaige of
Guiteau give any declared purpose for so
doing?” asked Mr. Milliken.
"Nothing hat that Guiteau was individ
ually re-ponsible. Shortly after I entered
the employ of the government l had an
idea of reckless feeling on the part of those
in the star route cases that might be car
ried into practice.”
"Was trie President included with those
against whom there was a hitter feeling?'
"In part,” the witness replied.

The mo st peculiar of all flowers is the
rose. It has its thousands of devoted and
skillful worshipers as a garden flower,
blooming in summer, and clinging to trel
lis or pillar, or trained to cover the ground
with a mass of color. But its widest em
pire is in society, where it reigns pre-emi
nent, queenly in it* beauty, and bestowing
its royal grace upon the fair ladies who
wear it. The variety of roses is almost
endless, and incalculable time and labor
have been expended to develop new kinds,
which shall combine fragrance, color,
form and profusion of bloom. It is a sin
gular fact, however, that not until very re
cently have records beeh kept of the pa
rentage of roses. There is excellent au
thority for saying that the exact origin of
all but about a dozen of the beautiful va
rieties which have sprung into being with

No Chance to Rectify Mistakes.

When I was a young man there lived
in our neighborhood a farmer who was
usually reported to be a very liberal
man and uncommonly upright in his
dealings. When he haa any of the
produce of his farm to dispose of he
made it an invariable rule to give good
measure—rather more than would be
required ofhim. One of his friends
observed him frequently doing so, ques
tioned him ns to why he did it. He
told him he gave too much, and said it
was to his disadvantage. Now, mark

carefully kept by rosarians in England,
France. Germany and this country. France
has done more than any other country to
increase the varieties; but there can lie no
doubt that America, with its range of cli
mate and soil, and with the great atten
tion now being paid to this fascinating
branch of floriculture, will give to the
world its share of beautiful roses.
CROSSING THE KINDS.
The usual way of crossing roses is to cut
off the stamens of one variety, and shake
over it the pollen of the other, or apply it
carefully with a camel's hair brush. By
this method the characteristics of both
parent* are equally transmitted to the new
flowers. If the stamens are not am
putated the characteristics of the fe
male parent will predominate. Fami
lies which differ very widely cannot,
as a rule, he wedded with satis

investigation and experiment open in this
direction, and many enthusiastic growers

Pitfalls for the TarHI Blit.
New York World Special.
Morrison does not expect to have bis
tariff till I discussed for at least two or
three weeks. At least this Is what he says
in conversation with his friend.. This
postponement of the consideration of the
bill U rresided aaaslgnot great weakness.
The tendency of such postponement is to
prolong the session. The most conserva
tive of the Democrats think an early ad'
journim nt of vital importance. It is by
no means certain that there will be a tariff
discussion, as the opponents of the bill now
sec a way to cut off debate and beat the
bill if they can carry the House with them.

Philadelphia Times.
Mr. Tiiden is now in the well darkened
shadows ot the evening of life. He might
happen to live through a cam*
paign; he would not liavo one chance in
a hundred to live' to be inaugurated If
elected; he would not have one chance in
a million to live through one year of ids
term. The mental jewel is clear and un-
dimmed, but the mortal easket is hope
lessly shattered and rapidly crumbling to
ashes. He is a great political power, and
no Democrat will be elected President this
cor without the cordial cooperation of
lie T.lden political machinery in New
York; but he can’t make himself Presl
dent and hope to be President.
If Tiiden shall be nominated for Presi
dent. the nomination of Hendricks must
logically follow. There would be no his
toric justice in the nomination of one
without the other; and the nomination of
the old ticket would be the practical nomi
nation of Hendricks for the Presidency.
With his greater physical and mental vigor
he would doubtless make a better Presi
dent for the party and the country than
Tiiden. even if Tiiden could hope to drag
himself through a four yeara' term: but
the popular contest would turn upon Hen-
dricks and not upon Tiiden, and the
strength of that ticket must be in its tail
rattier than in its head.
Tills is an age of practical rather than of
sentimental poll Jcs, pungentiv as Wayne
MacVeagb deplores it, and the country
would forget the sentimental in a Tiiden
battle, to turn to the practical in a Hen
dricks contest. If Tiiden could warm up
his love for Hendricks and gracefully re
tire to put Hendricks at the head oil the
ticket, the.caase would be stronger than

are working diligently in tiie search for
subtler laws which may govern the breed
of roses. It may be years before definite
results are obtained; but the pursuit is
so fascinating that the number and charac
ter of experiments are constantly increas
ing and becoming more various.
A new rose, which has just been pro
duced by a Philadelphia tlori9t. and which
will not be in the market until next year,
is the Sunset. It is a tea rose, large ami
symmetiical in form, of the size and shape
of the l'earl, with color something like
that of the Safrano—a salmon hue with
the suggestion of a greenish tinge. The
favorite rose, king of ail in its scarlet
robes, is the General Jacqueminot,
Its exact parentage is given it:
some catalogues, but it a not generally
known. It was first presented to the world
in France. Next to it In popularity come
the Mermet, tho Mareclial Kiel, tho Pearl
du Jardin and the Don Fiieno. Other fa
vorites are La France, a fragrant pink
hybrid, peculiar in that its color deepens
toward the outer petals instead of toward
the centre, and the Cornelia Cook, with its
tint of pale cream.
Tiie hybrid teas arc a new class of roses
introduced by Bennett, tiie great English
grower, They bloom but one or twice in a
season, while hybrids and teas bloom con
tinuously. Favorites of this class are the
Neplietos. a pure white flower, sometimes
suffused witii a pallid green tint, and not
fragrant; tlia Beauty of Stapleford, of-a
y aler crimson and less compact than the
aequo; the Duke of Connaught, much
like the Jacque in color, but not so fra
grant; and Anally tho Bennett, called “the
¥5,000 rose," because Mr. Evans, of.Frank-
ford, last fall p»id Bennett ¥.1,750 for half
his stock. This new rose is very s weet and
U crimson, like the Jacque, but is not so
compact in its structure.
Tl'KSIXG WHITER INTO SI'MMEU.
The most expensive rose is the Jacque
minot, because tiie demand is so large and
the supply so small. The reason lor this
is that tiie plant is uncertain In its bloom;
a whole bed may prove barren. Like otlitr
hybrid roses the Jacqueminot naturally
blooms only in summer, and it is the task
of the florist to reverse nature’s order and
make it bloom in winter. There are many
tricks, some of thorn kept secret, connected
with this process. One Philadelphia grower
says that he goes through ten different op
erations to deceive the plants into believ
ing that winter Is summer and summer Is
winter. The general features of tiie pro
cess are lo freeze tiie plants during the
summer und keep them warm in winter.
It is not always necessary, however, to
freeze them. They may be "starved." as
It Is culled, during the summer; that is,
given no water and no fertilizing material.
it is among these terrestial or swim'
ming kinds that we must look for the
nearest approaches of the primitive
bird tvpe. From the very beginning,
birds had to endure the fierce competi
tion of the mammals, which had been
developed at arslightly earlier period;
and they have for tho most part taken
entirely to the air, where
alone they possess a distinct superi
ority over their mammalian compeers
There nro certain spots, however, where
mammals have been unable to pene
trate, as in oceanic islands; and there
are certain other spots whicli were insu
lated for a long period from the great
continents, so that they possessed none
of the higher classes of mammals, as in
the case of Australia, South America,
New ZealanS, and South Africa. In
these districts terrestrial birds had a
chance which they had not in the great
circumpolar lanu tract, now divided
into two jtortioBS, North America on
the west and Asia and Europe on the
east. It is in Australia and the southern
extremities of America and Africa,
therefore, that we must look for the
most antiquated forms of birds still sur
viving in the world at the present day.
The decadent and now almost extinct
order of struthious birds, to which os
triches and cassowaries belong, sup
plies us witii the best examples of such
antique forms. These birds are all dis
tinguisheil from every other known
species, except tiie transitional Solcn-
hofen creature and a few other old
types, by the fact that they have no
keel to the flat breast-hone, a peculiar
ity which at once marks them out as
not adapted forllight. Every one whose
anatomical studies have been carried
otrSs far as the carving of a chicken or
a pheasant for dinner knows that the
two halves of tiie hreast are divided by
a sharp keel or edge protruding from
the breast-bone, but in the
ostrich and their allies such a keel is
wanting and the breast-hono is round
ed and blunt, At one time these flat-
chested birds were widely distributed
over the whole world, for they are
foimd,in fossil forms from China to
i’eru, but as the mammalian race in
creased and multiplied and replenish
cd the earth, only the best adapted
keeled birds were able to hold their
own against these fonr-lcgged competi
tors in the great continents. Thus the
gigantic ostriches olthelsleoIShcppcy
and the great divers of the Western
States died slowly out, .leaving
all their modem kindred to inhabit
the less progressive southern hemi
sphere alone. Even there, the mon
strous tepyotiis, a huge stalking wing
less bin!, disappeared from Madagas
car in the tertiary age, while the great
moa of New Zealand, after living down
to almost historical times, fell a victim
at last to that very aggressive and hun
gry mammal, tho Maori himself. This
almost reduces the existing struthious
types to three small and scattered col
onies, in Australasia, South Africa and
Soutli America, respectively, though
there are still probably a few ostriches
left In some remote parts of the Asiatic
continent.

The Name For a Girl.
Sew York Sun.
If wc granted the following request,
which comes to us from Kentucky, we
should do tho baby referred to a poor
service:
“Please send me some pretty names
for a girl baby—something novel and
uncommon—and yon will innch oblige
a reader of the Sun.”
Novel and uncommon or merely
pretty and fanciful names are the onea
oi all others to avoid. You may make
your girl an object oi ridicule; anil
cause her mortification, which will do
serious Injury to her disposition, if you
give tier some odd and romantic name.
Tho old and simple and homely
names are liest for girls—tlte names
which have been borne by women for
thousands of years, and which are
both beautiful in themselves and sweet
in their associations. There is a dig
nity about them which lienefits wo
manhood, while a meat part oftlie fan
ciful names which have oi lute cume
into fashion aro inappropriate, except
in the nnrsery as the pci appellations
of babies.
There are scores of common names
which are far belter than any of those
manufactured by romancers. They
are all good and all suitable, anil Ire-
cause thousands mid millions of wo
men have la-en known l»y Ilium they
are none tilts less utlrmiiive. Those
which are tiie most i-oiiinionly used
are, Indeed, most agreeable to the ear
—like Mary ami Mnrviiret, Catharine
and llarrii-'i, June inn! Liny, and Eliz
als-tli. They lire dignified", and their
homelineNM mukeH mein all the more
charming. Allictinn will never get
tired of them. They will Ire aa com
mon a thiaisaml yeans from now as
they were a thousand yeans ago und as
they ure to-day.
ll’t therefore advise our friend to
give up Ids plan Ini distinguishing his
girl Ivy burdening her with some “novel
mill uncommon” naine,and if she grow*
hr he a sensible woman she will thank
us for our refusal to aaalal him in find
