FARMER SWEENY.
He Airs His Agricultural Views
to the Convention.

| took quite a lively interest in the
proceedings but owing TO the large
number of speeches made by ether
irrigators, his part OF the perform
ance was necessarily crowded out
Ia the morning Farmer Sweeny
harnessed I'D lis old flea bitten
male and amb!ed into town, tell
ing his wife that he had written a
speech on irrigation and should
deliver it with great effect.
VIII lie driving in, the old mare
SHE'D at ii clump Of 5; gebrush in
the road and sent the manuscript
Of the speech flying in every iii
rection. He did not realize his
loss until he reached his placN Of
business in the city. But what he
lost in speeches he made up in en-
thusiasm for the cause of irrigation
He announces th,t the Conven-
ton conld take his entire ranch
and all the stock if it needed the
sinews of war to carry on the irri
cation fight.
By 10 o'clock he was ready to
sell Gibraltar it public auction and
devote it to the cause.
He was heart aud soul for irri-
cation and he invited the visiting
membe's t. irligate every five
inmates
Barkeep' he said to his man
in the saloon, "turn lo'se the bar
40 all who come. Let no fri nd Of
irrigation or water storage 60
away empty, It's all at my ex
pense. Boys les have something
right now -
When the Convention met Farm
er Sweeny put on his regu ar
ranch clothes and took a font
seat. He listened attentively to
Mr.. Newlauds, only Occasionally
remarking:
That's good"
Hear him.
That's the talk"
Presently Mr.. Ncwlands alluded
to the prosperity that struck the
great states of Ohio and Illinois
when Irrigation came there.
Here Farmer Sweeny became
greatly Interested and rising to
his feet remarked:
Say Boss, wasn't that when
the Dem ocrat5 had control? You
bet your life it was. When the
Democrats get control of Nevada,
you'll see irrigarion-"
"Sit down" shouted severed
voices.
Sit down Ell? Well I like that
pn' 81 Tsncher down in an irrigation
convention. That makes me
laugh"
Mr.. Sweeny, sit down" said
the Chairman.
"Sit down, yourself" was the
reply. I'd like to SCI the color Of a
man who could sit me down.
Here General Clarke whispered
a few words in Farmer Sweeny's
ear. and he became Modified.
"Au right. General, I'm with
We" and he walked out.
As he reached the door there
WAS a clapping OF hands. and like
a flash he turned around and en-
quired:

A BIG LILY.
Tho Victoria Regia Flowers in a Fountain
Basin in the Botanical Gardens.

Tho Victoria Regia Flowers in Fountain
Basin in the Botanical Gardens.
The Botanical Garden has succeeded in prop
agating the famous royal water lily, or it is
known in botany, The Victoria Regia." One
Of them is now in full bloom in the little foun-
tain south Of the main greenhouse, and several
are i'll bloom in the basin of the large centen-
NAL fountain in Il center of the grounds.
The plant is a most peculiar growth, the
leaves resembling in form huge frying pans,
varying in diameter from six to eight feet, and,
on account of their peculiar construction, are
capable of sustaining considerable weight.
Yesterday photograph was taken of
the lily with the nine-year-old son
of the assistant superintendent of the
gardens complacently sitting in the middle of
one of the mammoth leaves. This is not the
first time lilies of this variety have been grown
i'll the United States. but it is the first instance
where they have lowered in water not arti-
ficially heated.
The flower is exceedingly beautiful, and re-
sembles in its first stage a large magnolia. As
it grows older its color changes to delicate
pink, gradually becoming red, until finally ii
sinks from sight and develops a seed pod.
Today hundreds of persons visited the gar
dens and viewed the curious botanical creation.
Superintendent Smith has decided to keep the
gardens open ever day during the blooming OF
this lily until dark, so that every one can have
| II chance Of viewing the largest water lily In
| the world.

THE PRICE OF COAL.
Why It VIII Not He Raised by Local Dealers
At Present

why It VIII Not he Ratsed BY Local Dealer
at Present
The coal dealers of Washington have decided
not to advance the price OF coal this year,,
any rate not until the first Of October. That ID
the Washington coal exchange at the last meet
ing came to this decision, which will be vel
come one for householders in this city.
The exchange holds in its ranks all but two of
the prominent dealers in coal in the city and
its decision will therefore carry force. This
action of the exchange will be even more
welcome on account of its being unexpected.
The custom among the coal dealers has
generally been to raise the prices on Septem-
Der l, at which time the wholesale dealers sent
their prices up. This year tho wholesale men
raised the price on the first, as usual and 1t was
generally expected that the local dealers would
follow suit
just why they have RETAINED from the temp
tation is hard to say. Rumor has it that posi-
bly, desire to squeeze one of the dealers
not In the exchange has had something to do
with the matter, and in the same connec-
lion the Rochdale Cooperative Association
Is mentioned. 1t Is said that the association Is
at war with the exchange and has made con-
tract with one of the dealers not member OF
the exchange by which the dealer agrees to
lurnlsh coal to the members OF the association
during the year at rs cents per ton less than
tie price set by the exchange.
1t is also said that wher the Wholesale price
OF coal went up this dealer was exceedingly
anxious that the exchange should raise the
price also, but the exchange did not see it that
way and declined to raise prices. thus compell-
Ing the dealer to furnish the winter supply to the
members OF the Rochdale Association at rs
cents a ton less even than the summer prices,
and this notwithstanding the fact that the
wholesale price OF coal has gone up ID cents

Facts Stated in the Annual Report OF In
spector Ford.
The annual report of 5. Calvert Ford, in
spector of gas and meters for the District of

The company failed two occasions to fur
nish gas up to the standard. The average
Illuminating power of the Georgetown Gas
Light Company was 1852 candles, and the
company failed on five occasions to furnish gas
of the proper Illuminating power.
During the year l.46s meters were inspected.
OF this number II were registered fast with an
average error Of 4.s2 per cent; % registered
slow, with an average error of 5.31 per cent.
and ,3l9 registered within the limits allowed
bv law; 100 were complained of by consumers,
81 Of which registered fast and 30 registered
slow.
The sum of S7S4 was received as fees for
meter inspection.
In concluding his report Mr.. Ford says: cit
purity and pressure of the gas supplied
by the Washington Gas Light Company from
its different sources of supply be ascertained at
soon as practicable. i, therefore, renew the
recommendation made in the annual report
of this Office for the year 1889 that laboratory
be established in the vicinity Of the new gas
works in Southeast Washington and provided
with the necessary instruments for inspec.
