The Oleander is Dangerous.

Few people know how poisonous
the oleander is. Children have
been known to die from sucking its
flowers; a whole family has been
poisoned by using meat skewers
made of oleander wood; an in
fusion of it's leaves is sure death to
ell forms Of insect life and it's bark
powdered and administered in
Hour is certainly fatal to rats and
mice. In Bermuda, where the
oleander grows as q hedge plant,
the farmers say that it poisons the
grass beneath it's foliage and that
animals viii die from eating her
bage growing beneath its branches.
While it Is possible that this may
be q mistake, and that the animalea
die from eating the oleander leaves
which have falling among the grass,
it is certain that the plant itself il
90 noxious it ought to be banished
from every house. St Louis Globe

GOOD NEWS EOR NEVADA.

The Reno Gaze tie in ali editorial
directed against the present silver
movement in Nevada says:
A moments thought will show that
any attempt on the part OF Nevada
and Colorado to force a third party
In the electoral college would result
In the election of Grover Cleveland
In the words Of Mr. Cassidy, spoken
to a friend in Reno the other day,
''The Democrats have nothing to
lose" 1t might hardly be fair to
make this Congress, with It's phe-
nomenal Democratic majority, q
criterion; but take the last Congress
fer example, and We see where We
stand. We need hardly say that in
case the electoral collsgs fails TO give
q clear majority to one candidate or
the other for President the election
goes into tho House of Representa-
tiYes, each State having one vote and
no more.
II this is the case it is the best
argument we have yet sesn in favor
of running a regular silver ticket
in Nevada and Colorado.
If the bosses of the National Re
publican party can only be made to
realize this they will be down on
their Bonded knees to the West Of
fering US anything in sight by way
of concessions.
In other words Nevada and Col
orado will hold the balance of power
and Nevada instead Of being called
tho ''Rotten Boarough" VIII be

MIDST BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS
The Chrysanthemum Show Has an
Auspicious Opening.

The Chrysauthemum Show Has an
Auspicious Opening.
The chrysanthemum show at the Catholic
Library hall opened last night under the
most favorable auspices.
The display is one that could not be ex-
celled anywhere in this section. and lie one
that is highly creditable to Savannah.
Such an exhibition of beautiful chrys-
anthemums will be a revelation to many
Savannahians, few Of whom had any idea
that such a collection existed in their midst.
There are over 100 varieties of chrysanthe-
NUNS on exhibition. The number of
specimens exhibited must be considerably
over 900. The specimens are very beauti-
full and show the highest cultivation. Many
rare plants are on exhibition and the cArys-
anthemum experts aud lovers of flowers in
general will find much to delight them in
the exhibition
The hall is arranged to resemble a flower
garden with beds Of plants divided by walks.
Different col0rs and varieties are grouped
in the separate beds which makes the exhi-
bttion more interesting. The entire exhibit
is from the nursery of MIR. Uelschig,
near the city. Mr.. Oelschig has been en-
gagged upon it for the last six years, and has
recently acquired several new and rare
specimens at considerable ey pense. The
collection is not only a very large but a
very valuable one. Many Savannahians
who have previously manifested great in
terest in chrysanthemum collections in
other cities will now have the opportunity
of viewing splendid collection at home.
The exhibition is for the benefit of the
girls Of the st. Mary's AMI Episco-
pal Orphan homes. Mrs. w. G.
Charlton is the chairman in charge
Of the exhibition, assisted.by committees of
ladies appointed from the directories Of the
two institutions.
One OF the features is a table set for
supper party with cut glass and china by
James Douglass, and decorated with cut
flowers by Oelsching. The decorations will
be changed each night.
A number Of contributions have been re-
ceived. Among them is a handsome dis
play OF candies from Piperno's French
candy store on Bull street, which will be re-
tailed for the benefit of the orphans.
full list Of the donations will be
published in a card in the MORNING NEWS
at the close of the exhibition.
The ladies serve refreshments to the visit
ors In the gallery OF the hall. They are
also prepared to supply families with ice
cream and cakes for home use
Cut flowers are on sale, fine roses being
a speciality.
A concert was given during last evening
for the entertainment of the visitors, under
direction of Prof NJ. Stewart Mrs. Fin
ney, Miss Nolan, w. F. Blois, and other
members of the choirs OF the Episcopal and
Catholic churches.
The music tonight will be furnished by
the Gesang Verein Frohsinn Musical Society
An attractive feature tomorrow night
will be chrysanthemumd dance by a number
Of little girls in fancy dress.
The exhibition will close tomorrow night.
