Enmons County,s Orator.

NAAAAasVAb VEOtOxs
State Senator Worst is making cam.
paign. speeches daily throughout the
state, and will keep at the work until q
day or two before election. The follow.
Ing, from the Minnewaukan Siftings, is a
sample Of the way in which the news.
papers speak Of him:
Senator Worst was introduced to his
Minnewaukan audience by j. w. Shep-
pard, and for an hour or more entertained
his hearers on all the issues that are in
volved IN the present canvass. The sena.
tor Is natural. born orator. His delivery
is impressive, and his ideas range from
the plain and practical to ~ finc, lofty
and inspiring sentiment a. one could wish
to hear. He goes over the line OF his
thought In so easy and comfortable q
way as to leave Absolutely nothing to di.
vert the attention Of his bearers from the
substance Of his addsess. He is deeply
10 earnest, Goes 70 the bottom of his sub.
5ect, and never lscks for material. His
views are broad. patriotic and comprehen.
slve, and big reasoning logical and con.
tive, irresistible. Senator Worst Possesses
q grade of timber that the state will one
day want to utilize In a very eminent
way, and not without much honor and
profit to itself. In his Mlnnewaukan ad-
dress he made such plain, practical
application of the principle Of protection
as to leave no room for doubt that it il
essential to the prosperity Of q great
country like this--essential from the busl.
ness Of the village merchant in an every.
day practical way to that Of the govern

Peck's work and that Of the other demo.

FLOWERS BY TELEGRAPH.

4 Now Branch Of tho Florists Business
Roses Cheap ut Gibraltar.
There is sign over the door Of
florist in New York which says: GLOW
ers by Telegraph to ALI Parts Of the
World" This sign seems sufficiently
extraordinary to warrant inquiry into
its exact meaning. The mental eye
saw baskets Of roses whizzing across
the country, 80 the owner Of the flower
store was interviewed by q World
writer upon the subject, and he said:
eyes, flowers by telegraph sounds
strange, but it Is nevertheless quite pos
sible, and done in q perfectly simple
way. Here is how II. is mAnaRel, We
have arranged with one Of the leading
florists In every city in this country and
Europe, 80 that when any Of our Gus
toners csme, write or telegraph to us5
and tell US to send flowers to some
friend in another city we at once te1es
graph the order to our correspondent
End have 1t filed immediately. We.
charge the cost Of telegraphings or
cabling to our customer. The scheme
has only just been started, but it's
working has surprised and delighted
both ourselves and our customers. NV
partner IS in Europe now establishing
new stations, and we hope to have a
epmplete belt around the world soon.
IAN amusing incident happened in
Gbraltar A young woman had sailed
from New York on an Italian steamer
and anadmirer wanted bunch Of roses
sent to the ship when she arrived off
Gibraltar. Ten dollars was the amount
he invested. I telegraphed my corre-
spondent to go out In the boat with the
flowers and have them handed over the
side OF the ship. Now It seems that
flowers are very abundant in Gibraltar.
and the florist had never received -:
large an order before. I forget how
many dozen roses were secured. but
they almost filed the small rowboat.
and the effect was rs II q flower bed
were floating out from the rock, The
boat attracted great attention from the
snip, and all the passengers flocked to
the side to watch the flowers approach.
OF course there was great curiosity to
know whom all this floral display was
tor, and when the name Of Miss Evans.
believe that was the young lady,s
name, was called out, she became nm
comfortably conspicuous. Devotion
represented by q boat load Of dowerss
must be that OF something more than
friendship. The young lady w. anoh-
iect OF interest the rsst of the voyage.ss.

sides he wanted the girl and the boat.
The girl looked on and may have been
interested. At last, one night she told
the Revised, presumably in answer to a
question, that, however slender.were her
hopes of heavenly harbor now, they
would vanish into thin air if she took for
a life pilot such piece of perfection as
he was. She was looking for man with
spice of sin in him, she said.
When Sammy heard this he applied for
the vacant position and got it. Then
was the hour of Sammy's triumph. Then
did the Revised Editions long-vaunted
superiority pale before the sun OF
Sammy's victory. The early morning
air was redolent of it. Sammy was
avenged.
Thus this story seemed to have an end.
Sammy was married five months ago;
and the Revised is counting another girl.
Only the other day, Sammy seized the
Revised Edition by the shoulder, and in
burst of brotherly confidence said
"Old man, you never in your whole con-
founded career got more ahead of me
than on the unluck day when thought
1 had got ahead of you!''-Romance.

AHARROwING MISTAKE.

1t was at the Sixth avenue 81" station
Past the ticket box came a portly man
with the paunch of an Alderman and the
mien of a Pharisee. The yellow hospital
collection box caught his eye, and, after
fishing through both vest pockets, he os,
tentatiously droppeda single coin into
it, Then he walked up the platform with
smile of contentment.
Suddenly his expression changed to one
of dark despair, and, clapping one hand
against his perspiring brow, dropped up
on bench with thud that was passably
dull and moderately sickening. A train
passed, but he needed it not, and when
he had been left alone on the platform
again he ambled back to the gate and ap'
piled one eye to the officer in the collec.
ton box. Then he returned to the bench
and mopped his brow.
For fifteen minutes the fat man sat and
illustrated the rise and growth of soul
rending sorrow; then, with sigh and a
parting glance at the collection box, he
rose and boarded train.
Gee" snorted the gateman. "Pm
