The City Of FInMel.s-

There is prof. ably no town in the
United States so devoted TO the hold
ing of flower and fruit festivals as
Los Angeles, California. No sooner
is one fair over than another COM
mences and the same spirit is observ-
able in all the smaller towns. 1t is this
spirit which encourages the growth
and culture of flowers, and nndoubted-
ly thcro are few spots where flowers
are given so much care. Everybody
seems TO possess garden, and the
consequence is that flowers can be
bought more cheaply in the shops of
the San Francisco florists than they
can in the Los Angeles fower-stores.
What strikes the stranger as most
singular are the floral displays in the
offices. There is not bank IN town
upon whose high desks great lunches
OF roses do not rest. Tho paying and
receiving tellers' desks, the cashiers
desk, tho managers desk, the presi-
dents desk, in fact, nearly every desk
has bunch of exquisite roses. -rSan

mittee forits consideration, but Mr.. Burrows
republican, of Michigan proved a stumbling
block He demanded division, and in
u house which ought to be composed
of 1926 members there was vote by
division of eight affirmative and two mega
tlves. Mr.. Burrows suggested that this
was a bill that involved the appropriation of
S5OO,O0O, and raised the point of no quorum
AND no quorum appeared, but Mr. Burrows
relented and withdrew his point with the
understanding that no vote should be taken
today. The effect of this agreement is that
the bill will lose its privileged character,
and will be relegated to the calendar.
The house then, in committee of the
whole, proceeded to the consideration of the
measure. Representatives Bullock and
Mansur were its chief advocates, and Sena-
tor Pasco was an interested listener In the
course of inquiries addressed by the two
former gentlemen to Mr.. Dingley republican
of Maine, information was ELECTED as fol-
lows: The claim is to reimburse the state
of Florida for expenses incurred in the
Seminole war of 1867 According to Mr..
Dingley there was but ninety-siX Seminoles
engaged in the outbreak. Congress had
already paid to the persons who had put
down the outbreak the amount of 5000 per
indian. 1t was now proposed to pay the
$1,000 per Indian additional

AGENT SIMMONS REPORTS.
He Tells of the Trouble Between Himself
and the Indians Under His Charge.

and the Indians Under His Charge.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 1.-THE Indian
bureau has received from Agent Simmons of
the Fort Belknap agency the following re-
port giving the particulars Of the affray at
the agency on the 18th:
The report states that a young Indian
named Raider married a sister of Big Mouth.
The newly married husband beat his bride
numerically, intiicting serious injuries. Her
brother attempted no retaliation, but was
taking his sister to the agent to lay
the matter before him, when they
were overtaken by the husband,
who shot and killed Big Mouth and wounded
his wife in the foot. AS soon as the agent
heard of the occurrence he, with two en-
of the murder. when within about 200
yards of the abode of the criminal,' con-
tinues the report, she and his father opened
fire upon u.s. shouting to keep off. We turned
to come away, but they still kept firing,
wounding me in the calf of the leg and dis
abling one of the horses. The news of
the murder and the firing upon
myself and employees spread rap
idly and the indians hereabout
came in and organized for the pursuit and
capture of the murderer and his father and
located them at cabin about fourteen miles
east of this place A Gordon was formed
around their place of concealment and there
is strong probability of their capture.
THE matter is in no sense due to a disaf-
fection of n general nature, but is entirely
owing to a personal feud. The entire tribe
is unanimous against the perpetrators of the
murder and deadly assault upon myself and
employees
"a rumor has just reached here of the kill
ing of the fugitives by their pursuers."

Music Among the Aborig,nes.

Mr. Otis Y. Mason writes to Nature: "In
looking over n very large collection of musi-
cal instruments from the aborigines of Amer
lea am surprised to find that there is not
one peculiar to women. and that those of the
men are never played by the women. 1t is
true that the females beat time on various
objects and many now and then use the rat
tie, This disappointing fact arrested my at
tcntion, and am curious to know whether
savage women, or any other women, for that
matter, have ever invented n musical in
strument, and whether in savagery they even
play upon those invented by the men. The
composition and singing of songs might also
be inquired into. though our American saw
age women do join in certain choruses"
