November Is tho Time for tho wo-.>,,

The ono thing that makes the flower
lover look forward to November with
pleasure after the summers wealth of
bloom has passed away is, saws the
New York Commercial Advertiser. that
November is the month given up to tho

highest distinction the milsado can con-
Ter upon any of his subjects is the
decoration OF the chrysanthcmum. Tho
chrysnnthemum is also the royal seal,
and Tor centuries has been esteemed
and loved by people, mobiles and COM
mons. When we think of tho slow
growth OF varieties in garden flowers
how long the single rose must have
peen cultivated and variations notad
ana fostercd before we had the immense
1nll double sorts now known, we arc
Obliged to believe that it is centuries
since the careful Chinese and Japanese
gardeners began to improve the chrys-
anthemum from the little single affair
which is supposed to be original of all
the varieties now in cultivation.
The Japanese guard the choicest
flowers with jealous care, and it is pos
sible that varieties are carefully cult
waited in some parts of the empire that
are superior to those known to occi-
dentals. 1t is even believed by some
travellers that in some parts of either
China or Japan there exists that fnbu-
lous flower, the blue chrysanthcmum.
Chrysanthemums of blue are figured on
old porcelain and mentioned i'm written
works.
Mrs. Skidmorc in her book, "Jinrilsi-
sha Days in Japan" states that in the
house of the head man of the village OF
Havana, the possessor of II wonderful
collection of chrysanthcmums, she was
given salad made from the petals of
yellow clrysanthcm 1t is also
said that the Japanese put the petals
OF the flower into the sake cup to pro-
long life and keep free from misfor-
tunes. 1t is possible that the rcsinous
quality of the flower has some hidden
virtue not generally known

THE AUTOPSY HELD.
The Course of the Two Leaden Missiles
Outlined.

The autopsy over the remains Of DR..
George Baird was held last night at his
late home on Fourteenth street. IL was
originally intended to hold the post norton
examination this morning, but after con-
sultation with several Of the physicians,
County Physician DR.. l.. ID. Wilson, who
had charge of the autopsy, concluded 1t was
best TO hold the same last evening.
The other physicians present were
DR.. c. +. Stifel, DR.. G.. NJ. Frissell, DR..
Eugene A. Hildreth. DR.. j. l.. Dickey, DR..
f. C.. Myers, DR. J. y. Burnie, DR.. j. A.
Campbell, DIR Robert j. Reed, Dr. II. Z.
Baguley and DR.. Aschmann.
The autopsy began al O'Clock last even
ing. and did not conclude until shortly be-
fore II o'clock. Careful notes were taken
all throughout the investigation, and they
will be preserved and made up IN an OIL
cial statement Of the case II was found
that there were two shots fired. The
first shot went through the lapel OF his
overcoat, passed through his garments.
and entered the breast u little 10 the right
of the medium line. near the junction OF
Of the clavicle with the sternum.
The leaden missile then pursued
a slightly upward course toward the right
side. passing through a portion OF the
upper part of the left lung. seyer.ng in It's
track the left common carotid artery,
traversing a straight course to the upper
part of the left shoulder blade. This
! Shot. severing the carotid artery, meant
certain death, and the second shot mad no
effect on the fatality of the occurrence.
The ball was found embedded Just under
the skin near the left shoulder blade.
The course of the second shot was
different. In turning to 90 into the store
DR.. Baird turned half way around and
received the second shot in the head. The
| ball entered Just under the right ear,
traversng almost a direct course and com
ing out of the left eye. II was generally
sunnosed Yesterday that the ball entered
the left eve. but a careful examination
sets this theory at naught.
