THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM.
The Spring Exhibition of the Floral
and Art Association.

and Art Association.
The spring exhibition of the Savannah
Floral and Art Association will be held
April II, Is and 10 at Armory Hall. A
meeting of the Executive Committee was
held last night to arrange the details.
| The yard in the rear of the Armory will
be rooted over and made into floral hall,
the same as the last exhibition though on q
much larger scale, the entire yard
being under one roof. The art
| and fancy work exhibitions will
be in the main hail. Everything points to
| a most successful show. The flower gardens
will be in their glory by that time The
season is already very promising one and
the exhibition managers are counting upon
an elaborate display.
The premiums this year are very nearly
double those of last year, and every effort
will be made to make the exhibition
| a success The floral display will
| have to come very largely from
| amateurs, as the professional florists
about that time are overrul with orders,
which they have to FILL rendering it impos-
sible for them to make so elaborate dis
| play as they otherwise would All of the
florists say that the association has aided
their business, and that more flowers are
cultivate1 and that there Is a larger demand
for them than there was before the asSocia-
ton was organized.
The premium list has Just been issued.
The following rules will be of interest to
prospective exhibitors:
Prizes are open to every one, whether
members of the association or not
All fruits, flowers and vegetables offered
for prizes must have their names annexed,
legibly and correctly written, and must
have been grown by the competitors. Speci
mems offered for exhibition by others than
the growers must in all cases have the
names of the growers affixed, if known.
Where a certain number or quantity of
plants flowers, fruits or vegetables is de-
signed in the schedule there must be neither
more nor less than that number or quantity
of specimens shown.
No plant, flower or design will be allowed
one prize.
After the articles are arranged they will
be under the exclusive charge of the Fair
Committee, and not even the owners will
have liberty to remove them until the exhi-
bition is closed, when they will be delivered
as the contributors may direct.
Exhibitors intending to enter for COM
petition will notify the Secretary of the
prize for which they are competing. No
flowers, fruits or vegetables will be entitled
to prize unless they possess points of
superiority.
The first prize for twelve roses of differ
emit varieties named is silver cup, which
will be held by the successful competitor
for the year, but, if awarded for three
years in succession to the same exhibitor,
will become his or her property.

Joe johnson and His Niece on Their
Way 70 Merrie England.


Joe johnson is probably by this
time sailing on the briny deep.
1t is pretty well established that
he and his niece took a number OF
trunks on board a small sloOp last Sunday
night or very early Monday morning and
were taken down the river by mutual
friend TO the British bark Holmes Iale,
which sailed Monday for Reval From
there, it is understood, that johnson will
take his niece to her mothers home i'll
''Merrie England"
A friend of Johuson's said yesterday 10 a
MORNING NEWS reporter that those who
knew the domestic life of johnson could not
blame him for leaving. He did
rot, so far as has been learned, leave
over $500 in debts behind, and he left at
least 500 in stock. His wife has over
$500 in bank, while all his furniture and
household effects are left behind. John
sons friend secuted the idea Of any i'm
proper relations existing between johnson
and Hannah King lie had seen letters
from her mother addressed TO 9th the
uncle and daughter and there was nodoubt
of their consanguinity. The affection was
such as might properly exist between uncle
and niece.
One OF Johnsons creditors sued out an
attachment yesterday for S63, and Mrs.
johnson notified the officer that she was
going to continue the business, and she paid
the bill, after some yoluble abuse.
Johnson's credit was good, and it is said
that he offered to pay the bill Saturday,
and seemed anxious to pay it, but was in
terrupted, and the agent of the creditor,
knowing him to be good, went away. He
was urged to take other goods and begged
not to be urged, as he was about to take a
step, he said, which would probably get him
out of business
johnson is an Englishman who made good
wages as foreman Of gang Of longshore-
men, did good business with his boarding
house and saloon, and had an excellent
credit. He is expected either TO return TO
Savannah after taking his niece home, or
to locate in Northern Michigan in the lum-
Der district. No kilograms are likely to
overtake him, for he said before sailing, Hi
am not a land lubber as goes by rail"

his wife has suffered for seven years with a
complication of diseases, of which asthma
was the most prevalent. She has not laid
down in bed for seven years. He has ex-
pended all the money his business has made
him in that time for medicine, physicians,
ETC., TO obtain relief for her, but without
any success whatever. He was advised by
physicians to try p F. Z. He finally did
so, expecting 10 derive no benefit, but after
taking less than two bottles eruptons APP

TO improve, and now her skin is perfectly
clear. She sleeps soundly every night on

The Forthcoming of a Charming Book
About the Forest City.
Few American cities afford richer mater
ial for the pen Of history and the pencil of
art than Savannah, and what is and has
long been needed, not only by her own citi-
zens, but by the many strangers who are
continually passing through and tarrying
within her limits. is a volume of convenient
size containing a concise history of the city
from its founding to the present time, with
accurate and attractive illustrations of all
the points OF historic interest and natural
beauty in and around it.
The city founded by Oglethorpe and
memorable as the scene of the early labors
of John Wesley and Whitfield-the city
whose soil is enriched by the blood of
Pulaski and Jasper--the city which holds
houses that have sheltered Washington and
Greene, and Lafayette and Lee-the city
which, though time and again swept by the
red storms of war and the black breath of
pesilence, has bravely struggled through
them all, and grown to be the great COM
mercial emporium and the beautiful city
this is, affords inieed ample material for
such volume as is outlined above
Those who are interested in Savannah
viii be pleased to learn tlat such a volume
is in course OF preparation, by no mere mer-
cenary and foreign hand. but by two of her
own worthy and accomplished daughte s.
Misses Wilson and Weymouth-who have
their work already well under way. The
narrative part of it will be by the graceful
pen of Miss Wilson, while Miss Weymouths
will known skillful touch will add charm
to the story which only the hand of the
artist can impart. Thus will the
history of Savannah be lovingly told and
the beauty of Savannah lovingly illustrated
by two of her own fair daughters well
fitted for the task The book will be called
picturesque aud Historic Savannah, and

Adelaide Randall as "Niniche''-To-

Miss Adelaide Randall played "Niniche'
last night. The opera is a graceful, witty
comedy Of errors, in which the mistakes of
the characters causes confusion twice con
founded, aud fun that is side splitting.
Miss Randall, arch and merry, was in
capital voice, and as she cannot help being
graceful, she gave the "Nniche,n the lead
ing part, with light abandon that was
catching, and drew the audience with her
from first TO last. Her company seem to
have in this new opera a work peculiarly
adapted to their talents. Mr.. Lang, as
"Gregoire,n the swimming master; MIR.
Peakes as Count Corniski,n and W. \.
Daniels as dennis" were PRIME favortes,
to whom the audience accorded equal
honors. Mr.. Waldo as "Beaupersin was
greeted with shouts of laughing applause at
every appearance Miss Clara Randall was
sparkling and CHEEKY as "Annetta,n and is

The Sanitary authorities:

station for boarding vessels arriving at this
port, and calling for orders at Tybee bar
The boarding officer has apparently no
suitable boat or launch in which to reach
vessels in Tybee roads, On the ar

day last at noon, | proceeded
at once in my ships boat to the quar-
antine station to obtain permission
to pass up to the city. In accordance with
the regulations of the pot, the doctor or
dered me back to my vessel, which he had
first to board before I could be allowed up
to the city. | returned TO my vessel and
waited the remainder of that day and all of
the following day Sunday, but no officer
appeared to pass my ship. On Monday
morning Ihad, therefore, again to send TO
the quarantine station, distance of about
three miles each way, and bring the officer
to my vessel.

about having TO 90 twice to the quarantine

win Not Go To Ebenezer.

Rev. William S. Bowman, D D., informed
MORNING NEWS reporter yesterday that
owing to the near approach of Easter,
and the duties incident thereto he has re-
luctantiy been compelled to decline the in
ing of the Salzburger monument at Ebe-
Meier next Saturday
Ebenezer is an out of the way place where
close connection cannot be had by rail, and
an all-night drive TO Savannah is a sanitary
risk which DR.. Bowman did not feel justi-
fed in taking. 1t is necessary for him to
be near his church work until Easter.

DR.. Boyd Before the Y. Nj. c. A

An audience completely filling the large
reading room gathered at the Young Mems
Christian Association rooms last night to
hear a talk on "Our Bodies: Their Use and
Abuse" by DR. NJ. L. Boyd. The talk was
highly instructive and interesting, abound

doctor happened to touch on marriage, but
excused himself from entering on the sub
ject because of the lateness of the hour.
The young men present expressed desire
TO hear the doctor ut some future time on
the subject After the talk a large number
visited the gymnasium, where about thirty
young men were exercising.

John Williams, Bryan county negro, is
in Jail on the charge Of horse stealing He
appropriated a horse belonging to another
negro up there and brought it to Savannah
and sold it to Thomas Bowden, on West
Broad street, for so. Bowden, it appears,
was not willing to purchase the horse until
Williams could show title 70 it. This WILL
Jams had no trouble in doing. He went
away and returned bringing bill Of sale OF
$S5, dated in January, and signed by two
witnesses, which was evidently forgery,
for the owner came down later, claimed the
horse and proved property. 1t was limited
yesterday that Williams friends were pro-
posing to raise $50 to reimburse the losing
party, and thus escape prosecution for
horse stealing, but Williams is not apt to
get off so easily.
