THE STATE FLOWER.

SEATTLE, May q, 1892
To THE EDITOR: As the discussion in regard
to which shall be the state flower, rhododendron
or clover, has been going on for some time, this
seems a particularly favorable one, when both
are In bloom, to decide between them.
Which shall it be? The pretty sweet clover.
which grows as well in New England as in
Washington, or the beautiful rhododeniron
native in few except our own state, but Guilt
waited in all for its beauty?
In Eng and, where it is not native, are acres
under cultivation for the loveliness Of its
flowers.
In Boston, where. we must admit, flowers are
appreciated, any one who has been there at this
time of year must have heard of, il not visited,
some of the rhododendron shows which are
given by private citizens at their own suburban
homes. A few years ago one OF these flower
shows was given in the public gardens there
and was par excellen ce the flower show Of the
year.
The grounds around Wellesley college have
many OF these shrubs and are a delight to all
who see them in bloom and reminder Of some
far-off milder winter home, where the green
leaves are seen through the snow.
Some one has said that the name was too hard
! to pronounce and the rhododendron itself un-
known to most of the people of the state. I
admit the pronunciation is difficult, but for
that reason are we to omit from our vocabulary
all hard woris7 Is it not, az Matthew Arnold
says, ga difficulty to be unhesitatingy accepted
and overcome?" Would not this be a good OPP
portunify to teach not only the children, but
also the grown folk, something OF the flowers
native in this state?
There are people who live right here in Seattle
who don't know, and apparently don't care to
know, the name Of the Olympic mountains, but
we who watch the light and shadows, the sun
rising over them and setting behind them, leav-
ing long line OF glory across the water and
sky, illuminated with the afterglow-we are
sorry for those who know not or care not either
for the name or the mountains themselves, and
we would like to teach them to appreciate the
grandeur and to become familiar as we with the
name.
So let those who do not know learn to know
the rhododendron Let each flower garden
have one and the children will become 40
familiar with 1t as with the daisy, and people
from other states and other countries learning
our state flower will have visions OF some beau
tiful flower show where they f-st saw the
yhododcndron, and be better able to appreciate
the greatness of the state of Washington.

HEALTH OF THE STATE.
An Interesting Report just Published b:
the Board of Health.

An Interesting Report just Published by
the Board of Health.
The fourteenth annual report of the
Connecticut state board of health has
just been received from the printers and
contains many interesting reports and
statistics. Accompanying the report is
the annual report of the bureau of vital
statistics for the year ending December
81, 1890.
The year 1891 was not mark ed by any
important or severe epidemic, and yet
the average health of the state was not
SO good as for several years previous to
the invasion of our whole country by
the influenza, in December 1889. AL
though the severity of that disease, in
its specific form, was of short duration,
yet it seemed to have made an impress
sion in its train in consequence of which
the mortality from other diseases seems
to have been conspicuously increased.
Four cases of smallpox were reported.
Two were children, third grand
father in the same family, the disease
being so mil that it was taken for
chicken pox in the case of the children.
The other case was in this city in the
person of young woman, taken sick on
April s, who had been working up to
April 2, in the Springdale paper mill at
Westfield, Mass.
Typhoid fever has occurred in a large
number of towns and cities in the state.
Of the large towns the highest death
rate from this disease was in Norwalk,
being 60 in every 10000 of population.
Next, the towns in the following order:
Waterbury 5 4, Danbury a 6, Hartford
4 I, while in New Haven it was only 10.
For the whole state there were 3. 3 deaths
to every 10000 of living people, from
typhoid fever.
The deaths from diphtheria and mem
branous Group have been less numerous
by small number than the average for
the last ten years. Scarlet fever has
been quite generally prevalent, but the
mortality has not been so large as it was
previous to 1886. There were only
eighteen deaths from measles.
! In regard to the presence of the Wa
| terbury sewage in the Naugatuck river
the report says: The first observation
was made about two miles below Wa
| terbury. From the bank of the river a
| dipper full of sediment was brought up.
1t was of semi-fluid consistency, very
dark in color, not of homogeneous
matter, and exceedingly offensive to the
smell. Offensive gases dubbed up from
the water over where it was taken. AT
Platt's mills near the bank was floating
on the surface a collection of most
offensive material, and upon disturbing
it with pole there was emitted a most
disgusting stencil. Above the bridge at
Naugatuck the body of the stream
having been intercepted by dams, the
bottom being uncovered and exposed
gave off very strong odors. At a meet
| ing in October the secretary and Pro-
| fessor Brewer were instructed to pre-
pare report in regard to the pollution
of the river.
The facts contained in the report of
the bureau of vital statistics have been
published before.

EDWARD JAMES's ROMANCE.
The Sad Story of q Well-Known Sportin


The Sad Story of q Wel-Known Sporting
Editor.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE removal of
Ed James, the old sporting editor, to
Bellevue Hospital, suffering from insanity,
was sad shock to his many friends.
To those whose recollection of affairs in
this city 60 back about 30 years, the name
of Ed. James is connected with the erratic
life of Adah Isaacs Menken, the actress.
Ed James is believed to be the first man
that made the writing Of pugilistic events
and matter speciality. He contributed to
the "Clipper" long before he became, in
1859, the sporting editor Of that paper,
and 1t was through Frank Queen, the pro-
prietor of the sheet, that he became ac-
Quainted with Adah Isaacs Menken.
The actress was at that time the talk of
New York, Handsome in form and figure,
dashing, vivacious, talented with both pen
and pencil, it was little wonder that she
had almost every man who had ever met
iB6r, at her feet.
Originally her name had been Adah
Isaacs. Then she married Captain Men
ken, Of New Orleans; James Barclay, a
prominent gambler, John Heenan, the
prize fighter, and "Orpheus @. Kerr
Robert 9. NewelD the writer. With mono
Of her husbands did she live happily for
any length of time, and the formalities of
a divorce were dispensed with when she
had tired of them
1t was while she was in the height of
her New York success, when her per-
formances, of "Mazeppa, well calculated
to show off her splendid proportions to
the best advantage, was being given
nightly to crowded houses, that James
made her acquaintance, and became in
fatuated with her.
He followed her all over the continent, it
is said, saw how the crowned heads bowed
before her, and then when she was in the
heigth of success, he caught cold in his
eyes and had to remain behind to have
them attended to. He visited the most
prominent oculists in Europe, but they
could..do nothing for him.
In the meanwhile after long series of
splendid triumphs, Adah Isaacs Menken
had died in poverty in Paris. James
heard of her death when far away
He hurried to the French capital,
sought out the grave, unmarked and un-
cared for in Pere La Chaise Cemetery,
| and over it erected handsome monu-
| ment. Then, heart-broken and almost
blind, he returned to America.
In the year 1866, he held his position as
sporting editor of the Clipper. His
eyes became somewhat better, but at last
| the constant strain upon them became toe
much, and he was forced to turn his at
tention from writing to the sale of sport
ing goods.
He occupied a small Office in the "Clip-
per" building and did prosperous bust
ness. Three months ago he sold out, and
a week or two thereafter broke down with
nervous prostration, which has resulted
| in the loss of his reason.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 11.-Governor
Pattison last night received message
from Sheriff McCleary of Allegheny
county, stating that he could not main
tain peace at Homestead, and making
a formal demand upon the Governor for
troops.
Adjutant General Greenland, Maj
Gen. Snowden and Quartermaster General
o. E. Mcclellan were hastily summon ID,
and after short council of war Pattisou,
as Commander-in-Chief of the National
Guard, ordered Gen. Snowden to place
the entire division, consisting of about
$500 men, under arms to go to Home
stead to restore order.
Sheriff McCleary was also notified that
the National Guard had been ordered to
his support.
Adjutant General Greenland returned
from Pittsburg, and in an interview ad-
mitted that the sheriff was no longer
able to maintain the peace, but he said
he didn't believe troops would be ordered
out until the sheriff had made another
effort to get into Homestead at the cost
possibly of more lives.
At 10 o'clock last night Maj Gen.
Snowden executed the Governors orders
and called out the entire military division
of Pennsylvania, consisting of three bri.
gades of infantry, three troops of cavalry
and three batteries of artillery-about
$500 men. By sunset to-day this army
will be under canvas at Homesteaad
1t is believed that the troops will moi
be resisted, and that order will be quickly
restored, as there is no feeling among thu
workmen against the State soldiery.
Gen. Snowden says the active force O
the National Guard is about $500, anG
that he will proceed to Homestead to tax,

At the State arsenal the preparation
are going forward for the shipment O

HOMESTEAD, July 10.-The news that
Governor Pattison had called out the en-
tire National Guard was received here
about midnight, and was disbelived at
first.
The Amalgamated Association leaders
refused to credit it.
They have counted all along on the pow
erlessness Of the Sheriff and believed that
Governor Pattison would not permit the
National Guard to be used against them.
Adjutant General Greenland said here
that the State troops would not be turned
into policemen.
The Sheriff's final message seems to
have altered the mind of the Governor
The strikers are bitter. They say that
since the Governor gave them assurance
that he would not send the militia they
have not done anything which should
make him change his opinion.
Some apprehension seems to exist as to
just what the powers and duties of the
militia would be.
If they merely take possession of the
works there will be comparatively little
opposition, and even that opposition would
. no further than oral expressions of dis
mt.

/ Committee, it was decided to cooperate
with the National Guard in maintaining

the necessity of preserving peace.
