BLACK FLOWERS
Vain Efforts in Past Ages to
Produce Them.
(O.pr.risht. ipio. by the.Brrntwood Company-)
i-or thousands or years horticulturists
In all part* of the world, in the Occident,
but more especially in the Orient, have
been endeavoring to produce, *<>" one
means or another, a perfectly black flower.
Nature baa for reasons of her awn baffled
all their efforts. Their lnbors, their re
searches, their science, went for nothinK.
Black baa hitherto been the one line.
acatnst which Dame Flora has f=»t her face
»';«! with whirl, aJM notild have nothing
whatsoever to do. I', therefore, it is really
true thai Dennis Tapir;.. the crippled key
rin? maker from Savannah, '".a , who is
now In Washington for the purpose at Ret
ting m. patent for a. process whereby bl«<-k
ros-s may be prawn, has r-ally succeeded
in producinK black roses, a? he alleges, he
will enjoy from henceforth a niche in th<»
Temple at ClaM beside that other winner
of tlie heretofore unattainable— namely.
Commander nil j. who reached the North
roi-.
Tor. despite the fasrinatsn? novel of
Alexar.dre Dornas, entitled "Tli" BlarJt
Tulip." there is no reason to beHeve that
Nm hero of his story. Cornelius van Kaerlr-.
ever really produced black tulip? at Haar
!• m or that he won ili» prixe of 100.900
florins offered by William of Ornnjie. and
the States General of Holland as an hi
ccptive to this victory over nature. True,
Dumaa h«d ; some brsis for his story.
The old Dutch writers on gardener? and
sard^ninz dilate inithiaaTßilli upon the
ordinal Haarlem black tulip, for whi-'h as
much sa $;■•<""<" a bulb is claimed to have
le«n paid: but careful Investigation faQi '"
reveal any pro<>f that a black tulip wan
ever produc«->d. or that it ever existed, and
the nearest approach' that has ever been
ma.i*' to producing black tulips hi the
80-called Etittan tulip, which was first
shown in ISiS, and is aC aa sombre a purple
as to be almost Mack.
I <-;■> not recommend any of my leader*
to endeavor to emulate the mythical hero
of Alexandre Dumas. Indeed, they would
do v. .-■;■. especially if. they are In the least
hit superstitious, to avoid the culture of
tulips. For. according to the researches
of the Society of Psychologists of France.
Trhlch has its headquarter? at Taris. the
tulip i? the one flower <> all others which
exercise a malignant influence upon those
who cultivate its I>ulbs. and the society
furnishes a li« of many hundreds of cases
where tulip growers have either met with
violent deaths or else been overtaken by
■'" resard to black roses. I believe that
the most sombre-hued roses In existence
are to be found in certain portions of the
Cardens of the Vatican. They are- of so
dark * Md as 10 be almost black, ana,
while there is no truth In the ridiculous
story to the effect that their color was pro
du.-^d by watering them with human blood,
it is ■ "fact that the particular part of
the garden? where they srow was in ' ;'"'
jrval aces the sen© of a sanguinary affray
«nd of much WMJshed. From time imme
morial ;i superstition has existed to the ef
fect that roses, and nowers senera!ly. at
tain tlv> sreateft beauty in soil fertilized
by blood. especJaHy by human blood. Every
racing man and racing woman who has
visited Newmarket, in England, knows of
the so-cail^J "Bloody Flower of Newmar-
l s oi ■■ which is to be found nowhere else
but in tho old moat, now filled up, and in
r.liich. aee.>rdin^ -.. tradition, many bod
i»* of human beings are buried. These
flowers bloom in June and July, and cer
tainly, by the dark, blocdlike hue of their
blossoms, suggest Un name that has been
civeji to them. According to legend and
um-irnt mythology, violets are indebted for
their urißln to the blood of the self-alaln
.\tys, although, accordins '." another
Upend, they were originally all white, and
o»\e their viclet hue to the fact that, rais
iji? th^ir eyes upward on an occasion when
they onpht to have kept them discreetly
lowered, they have remained Uoahjac ever
since.
CZAK BLACKLISTED A CL.I
Emperor Nicholas !,as just furnished a
rather prtrikina; illustration of the sincerity
of bis liberalism- and of his determination
to continue the policy or popular reform
that has characterized his reign, by issu
:-)£ a. peremptory order prohibiting the o!'i
errs of the .inns and navy from crossing
the threshold of the so-called Old Russia
f-lub. at St. Petersburff. The club r.-aa
founded about a y<tr ;ig-) by the editor of
the '"Nowoje Wremja Monad ik'.'fr," and by
the Doiima • ember Krup^n^ki. and has
become the neadauartera of the. National
ist and ultra-conservative element in Rus
sian eociety «nd politiof. The avowed ob
ject of the club is to promote Old Rus
sian—that i!s to gay, reactionary and anti
"Western influence— and thus the club finds
itself in a position of opposition to the Czar
and to his iiinist ♦".;?. The move of the Em
peror in peremptorily forbidding officers
from havin;: anything to to with the club,
or f>vn to visit it. constitutes i severe blow
to th<» organization, and will moreover have
the advantage of - •• •"- servants of the
«rown. civil »s well as military, that the
<"7.ar ia in earnest about his liberal re
forms and that it would b*> well for their
int«-rest.< for them to ' ■■'•"'" the lead of
"..heir „..,-• in the matter.
GOVERNMENTS FAVOR TEMPERANCE
No country In the world «uff< so ter
ribly from intemperance as Russia, and
It is a moot question ■■••■■ cure*
hae been increased or diminished by the
convrrMon of the production and sale of
spirits Into a government monopoly. One
s'ood that this monopoly has undeniably
accomplished is that it has secured to toe
consumer a state guarantee as to the
quality of the stimulants that he pur
chases and the appalling poisons which
were formerly sold to vie peasantry and
to t!--e laboring classes under ''■■ name of
vodka have been virtually wiped out.
Th<- monopoly is a Eouree of considerable
revenue to the Muscovite goyernment^-a
revenue which increases .-,- diminishes in
proportion to whether the people drink
more or loss. t
Under the circumstances, the p«j<jd will
and Indorsement zivcu by tlie imperial
government \» the international Alco

with a .■..-..•.:•.■ of suspicion.

ports ion of the coffee berry, and appointed
a «orp« of official coffee, smellers, whose
duty it was to nose out all those engaged
m the roasting and sale of coffee and to
land them in jail. This had the desired
effect, and coffee was ousted out of popular
favor in Prussia until after the Napoleonic
wars.
Vet it was in Germany that temperance
organizations may be said to have had
their birth. The Brat of these »-a« the
Order of St. Christopher, formed by Sl=;i^
mund yon Dictrichstein on January 18, '•'■ : ".
the, members of which were pledged to ab
stain from toast drinking.
It was followed by the so-called Order of
Temperance, founded bj the Landgrave of
Hesse on December S, 1600. The members
of this Order or Temperance solemnly
rawed on the Holy Scriptures "not to aril
more than seven gtaaaes of liquor at a time,
and that not oftcner than twice a day."
From this it will be seen that the society,
while it may have been one of temperance,
v, as certainly not one of total abstinence.
TAXATION OF ROTAI/TY.
Although the Duchy of Sajcc-Meininseii 1 ?
one of the smallest and most inaUcnificant
of the ?core ■>•■ so of sovereign states com
prised In" the confederation known as the
German Empire, yet it is taking at present
the lead in a movement extending' far '■*"
yond its border"? and likely to spread to
all the monarchical countries of Europe-
It Is the question of th« repeal of i'" 1
prerogative which the reigning houses have
until now enjoyed of exemption from tax
ation. The Puke of Saxe-Meiningen is the
largest land owner and the richest citizen
of his duchy, arid the majority of the leg
islature, in which the radical element pre
dominates and socialism 1* very largely
represented, absolutely declines to vote th^>
money required for the increase of the
emoluments of the miserably paid officials
of th« government until the duke consents
to submit his extensive real estate and
other property to taxation. A full-Hedged
fig-lit is therefore in progress between the
parliament of Saxe-Meiningen and the ruler
of the duchy, and, thanks to the cleverness
of the former, there is not. ■ government
official in the duchy, hleh or low. who does
not attribute hi? straitened circumstances,
and his pecuniary difficulties to the seiAst]
greed of hi? sovereign in refusiag to sub
mit to taxation.
If the duke as expected. Is eventually
obliged to yield, other monarchs in Ger
many a? well as elsewhere will be com
pelled to follow puit and to abandon their
right Of exemption from taxation, which
dates from the time when Imposts were
levied solely for the maintenance of the
crown. Nowadays taxes are levied for the.
benefit of the people, constituting a sort of
contribution for ;'«; '« common weal, and
hence there is a srood deal of ground for
the argument that emperors, kings and
reigning princes should «horr their patriot
ism and their fellow feeling for their coun
trymen by a voluntary surrender of the,
mediaeval immunity from taxation which
they now enjoy. In Sngland, as on the.
Continent. th« sovereign and the members
of the reigning house are exempt from any
kind of tax. and if King Edward has de
clined to avail himself of the privilege
which lie. like all other rulers, has en
joyed until now. of importing from abroad
wine*, spirits and tobacco free of duty,
and has given orders that the tax la to be
paid by the Lord Steward's department in
all .he"--, it i- from motives of patriotism
and policy As the royal cellars are. of.
enormous extent, and .<>. moreover, th.B.
consumption of costly tobacco at court is
extremely large, the King's surrender of
his prerogatives in this respect means a
considerable addition to the yearly reve
nues of the. Customs Department, and few
things have created a better impression
«moiis the masses than that the monarch
uhould of his own accord waive his im
munity from fiscal obligations and vol
untarily take on himself the same. bur
dens of contribution to the revenues of
the state as th<* humblest of his subjects.
Until King Edward issued this order
the ,i.>i-s were not merely remitted on the,
goods imported for the royal use direct,
but wine dealers or tobacconists who sold
soodt to the royal household on which
they had already paid duty could always
obtain an order from th« Master of the
Household or from th« Lord Steward, on
the strength of which they were able to
recover from the Customs Department the
taxes which had been already paid.
Largely owing to this wise move on the
part of the King, there has been no such
agitation in England as there is in th«
monarchical countries of Continental
Europe for the subjection of the. mem
bers of the reigning house to taxation. In
Germany, In Austria and in Russia the
reigning families possess, either as crown
or as private property, ■ considerable
share of the land, arable, forest and
urban, which, a?! such, escapes all taxa
tion and renders the imposts and ratings
on the petty holdings of the peasantry,
petty farmers and small householders
more onerous, sooner or later the mon
archs will be compelled to surrender this
immunity. It would he wis-r 1f they were
to do bo of their own accord, and that,
i,,,, as *ion-.i as possible, since it would
deprive socialism of one of its principal
arguments In favor of the abolition of
royalty.

editor, j>oct. author and playwright. Mr-
Mi"ha»lis is now visiting in this country,
and he was pood enough to give the re**

and his play. He and Mrs. Mlchar'.ls—
herself al^o an author of note— were seen
at The New Theatre, just after having
witnessed a performance of the *Hagedorn-

Mr-. Michafli? were most enthusiastic over
the performance.
"We saw it in Copenhagen." said M'"-

"But this is all about The Witch." " in

A SYNOPSIS OF THE PLAT.
When asked for a synopsis " this play,
which Mr. Mason will present, Mr. Michaelta
said:
•• 'A Son of the People' is a drama of
th* French revolution. Its scenes are laid
in Castle Trionvill*. near Conde, in April,
1733. It concerns the life and love of Mar
quis Ernest dea Tressajllcs and Alain",
daughter' of Jean Franco!?. Count de
TEstoile. The Marquis dcs Tressailles van
on© of the 'emigres' who escaped from
France and took service, undor foreign flag?.
Main" remained with her aged father on
his estates, brarwg alone, after her fath
er's death, the terrors of th© revolution.
The Marquis dcs Tressaille-s • returned to
France more on account of his love for
Maine than from a desire to take part In
the last feeble efforts of the royalists.
••The play pictures the events of the wed
ding day and the day following. Soon after
the marriage ceremony the revolutionists
force their way Into Castle TrienvlUe The.
young marquis escapes, but la caught in
the Park by Colonel Marc-Arron, one ol
the leaders of the revolutionary force*
Maine plead* for him, and persuades *he
colonel to postpone the execution until the.
following morning.
•In the second act .Maine is seen trying
to rouse the manhood of her frightened
husband, but she pleads in vain. Her love
turns to pity. She resolves to save him at
any cost/and calls in Colonel Marc-Arron.
She. reasons and pleads with him. and
finally lays her band on his shoulder and
Bays, ■•!.,.■ it for my sake.' He is not sure
of her meaning. She repeats: 'For my
sake -1 know the price.'
-Marc-Arron commands Ernest to fol
low him into the next room, and they re
turn, having exchanged clothes. Ernest
PS cai**. disguised as a revolutionist, -; and
with his eager flight the last of Alaine.s
love for him vanishes. But now terror at
the bargain she has made cornea over her.
and sh« locks herself Into her room. She
TV-ill not believe thai there is any danger
for Marc-Arron even when the deception is
discovered by his comrades. But she re
turns in a few moments to thank him for
what he has- done, and to reassure herself
that he is m;.no dancer. He makes her
understand that his conscience would not
permit of hi: acceptance of her sacrifice.
Tie calls in his commander, Montaloup,
while Maine hides in the n*xt. room
Montaloup will not allow him to die, tor
Marc-Arron is one of the strongest spirits
Of the revolution; but he. too. must boy/ to
the formal order of the committee and see
that the execution takes place next morn
ing -Thin convinces Alaine that the
coTonrl's life is in danger, and she realize:,
that Bhe loves Marc-Arron— that for the
first time she knows what love really vs.
THE EXECUTION
"Act 3 is pictured at 5 a. m. the fol
lowing day. JJarc-Arron comes from the
bedroom^ a prey to conflicting emotions.
He calls in the watch at the door, who is
his faithful comrade and admirer, Jean
1...-'i'i<~. Jean will not believe that this is
Marc-Arron In the marquis's clothes, and
when he hears what has happened accuses
Marc-Arron of having done it for money.
That arouses Marc-Arron from momentary
weakness, and he tells Jean to see that
everything is ready for the execution.
Then Alaine comes to him, and a beautiful
love scene follows. It is the first time lova
lias come into his rough life, and it airnust
weakens him, but the indomitable- courage
of the '.'. . man, who recognizes him as the
master' gives him back his strength again,
and when uontaloup and his aid come to
plead with him to save himself he goes to
the window and gives the signal to the
soldiers to shoot."
