BUDS AND BLOSSOMS.
Novelties Seen Yesterday at the
Flower Show.
The Spring Exhibition suecess-The Museum
Hall Thronged With visitors-Man-
ayers Happy.

The lady managers of the State Floral
Society are jubilant Since their organiza-
ton they have never been as successful as
now, and with a reduction of expenses and
a large increase of public patronage they
expect at the close of their present exhibit
ton to carry respectable balance to the
profit side of their ledger.
Early yesterday morning the flowers were
renewed where necessary, and throughout
the day the lovely exhibit was inspected by
close upon thousand visitors.
Among the novelties displayed were some
immense Paul Neyron roses, big as cab
bages almost. and a plant of the Clotilde
Soupert, a beautiful new hedge rose from
the gardens of the Luxembourg. France,
presented by Mr.. Laidlaw of Oakland to
Assistant Superintendent j. IL. Gardiner of
the Golden Gate Park, and exhibited by
that gentleman among the park collection.
In this connection also Mrs. McLaren
makes very interesting exhibit of panses,
raised by herself at the park lodge. They
are remarkable alike for their great size and
beautiful cOloring.
In wild flowers Mrs. George Ross Of Bel
mont exhibited large and handsome baS-
ket of C0lipsia bicolor 1t was solid
mass of lightest purple and white.
The California Nursery Company of Niles
had on view specimen of the Austrian
copper rose" Like the La France it is
parti-colored, but there the resemblance
ceases. for it is very small, very single. and
its tints are tawny yellow on the outside
of the petal and copper red on the inside.
1t is a S ort from the Persian yellow, which
itself is closely allied to the Harrison.
The park exhibit of Seeding rhododen-
drons attracted considerable attention, one
white specimen especially, which was mar
velously pure in color and exceedingly
fragrant.
Assistant Superintendent Gardiner is
present day and evening, and escorts many
of the visitors from booth to booth, pointing
out the beauties and explaining the pecu-
liarities of every plant worth knowing. In-
deed, without him hundreds would derive
but little benefit fropl their visit
Timothy Hopkins and his head gardener.
Mr.. Lynch. are also in constant attendance
at their booths, and make it particularly
pleasant for visitors who show the least de-
sire to pick up knowledge. Their chrysan-
themums, Bride gladiolus and sWeet-pea are
still the pride and glory of the show.

NJ. j. Bruen, laborer at the borax works,

yesterday on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon. The complaining witness

Large Audience.
Fully eight hundred people crowded Cal
vary Presbyterian Church last evening to
listen to an illustrated lecture on "Paris
the Beautiful" and when, at o'clock, Dr.
c. 81. Steele was introduced there was
scarcely standing room anywhere in the
spacious edfice. Professor Gustav A. Scott
presided at the piano and rendered several
French airs, after which Nine. Seminario
sang a soprano solo. Charles Morel also
gave a tenor solo, which was well received.
DR.. Steele commenced the lecture by put
ting on the screen bird's-eye view of
Paris, and followed this with pictures of
many places of interest in the French cap
ital famous in history, seng and story. He
took his hearers for walk through the gar
dens and Palace of the Tuilleriers, showed
them Gambetta's monument and the Arch
of Triumph, the Grand Opera House and
the Vendome Column. the tomb of Napo-
leon and Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees,
Palace of Industry, Pantheon, Luxembourg,
and many other places of less note.
This series Of lectures, which commenced
last March, has been very successful, and
will net the Calvary Church Sabbath-sehool
about $500. The last lecture OF the course
will be given on Friday evening, the ed
inst, on the Mountains and Lakes of
Switzerland"

SUPPORT HOME INDUSTRY.

''The truly wise man knows that the way to in
crease our circulating medium, and make every
business prosperous is TO keep here all the money
spend, aud bring in few dollars from other sec
dions; but IL is fact that people content
unless they can send away about all the money pro-
duced by mines and all the surplus received for
cur fruits, our wheat and other products. The pol
icy is short-sightedl It is verse! 1t is taking the
br cad from the mouths of wageearnerS herel 1t is
sending money away all the time which, If spent
for goods manufactured here, would find its way
back into our own pockets.
Now, the journal of Commerce would be glad to
induce at least person to change this policy
TO that end it calls the attention of shirt buyers

Neustadter Brothers OF the southwest corner of
SanSome and Pine streets. They have got TO build
up trade upon merit. They mustrely mainly upon
the people amoDg.whoun they live for profits, and
they sure TO furnish better article than can be
bought in the East for the same money. That is
common sense, which is also good business sense
So, if the purchaser possesses no patriotism and
desire TO help the wageearners in holding employ
ment, he should buy the best, and especially when
he IS helping to In crease the circulating medium of
his own section. By patronizing this home enter

and gets an article which will give him eminent
satisfaction from the day OF its purchase until there

The farmers who supply the Newtown
Creamery are dissatisfied with the price
for May milk, as justly they may be.
The terms on which Dictator Tuthill is
allowing them to bring in milk, just now,
is within one half cent of the price set by
the New York Milk Exchange. 1t is
claimed that this was 2 lac throughout
May, but farmers here got 2 cents for
the first half of the month and 1 IL cents
for the last half. Milk producers on the
line of the New York City and Northern
got &c for the whole of May. This IL
cent for two weeks means SIG and $1S
for some of the larger producers, but the
sad thing about it is that Dictator Tut
hill has his foot on the necks of the milk
men and he knows it. When will farm
ers learn not to glut the markets?
