! that the amendment would be carried, the
affirmative having majority of four votes.
Mr. Andrew, of Massachusetts, demanded
an announ cement of the vote. Mr.. Hatch,
from his place as teller, said that the gem
tleman had no right to interfere. The
tellers had not yet made their final report

FLOWERS FOR THE DEAD.

SchooIhouses Filled With Blossoms and
Decoration Day-Arousing Patriotism
in the Breasts of Young America.
The graves of the soldiers should be hid
den in flowers on Monday, judging from the
wealth of blossoms brought by the school
children of the two cities yesterday. The
little ones are always pleased to do their
part toward honoring the nations dead, but
they have e1celled themselves this
year. Nearly all the contributions
were potted plants, comprising the many
ANNALS that shed fragrance and brighten
with their varied colors the old Smoky City.
There were few bouquets among the offer
ings, but very few. Some of the older chill
dren, who did not care to bring plants, gave
money, with which the principals of the
schools purchased flowers. There we're no
particular exercises in connection with the
reception of the flowers. They were taken
from the children and placed on the great
stone steps in front of the buildings and ar
ranged along the halls They made mass
of luxurious bloom and trailing vines and
frightened up the schoolhouses in a way
that Is seldom seen. Inc children were de-
lighted and many were the groups of little
ones that watched the flowers and expressed
their pleasure in the contemplation.
On the Southside all the flowers were
taken from the various schools and placed
in the Humboldt school yard, whence they
were taken in the evening by Post 151 to
be used in tine cemeteries Monday. From
the hill districts on the Southside Post 236
took the flowers, assisted by the ladies of
the G. A. R., while from Mt Washington
Post 155 performed the same Office
In the old city the flowers were removed
from the schools by Post Al, of Lawrence
vile, and Post III, of the East End. In
Allegheny Posts SS and 12S did the pleasing
work.
1t was the custom, some years ago, for
the members of the posts and the ladies of
the Grand Army to visit each room in the
schools, take the flowers from the children
and thank them. This was laborious
task, however, and occupied the whole day,
SO the easier plan was adopted of placing
the flowers on the steps, where they could
be taken by the posts at once. 1t pleases
the children to see the soldiers come and
the spirit of patriotism that is a natural
outcome of the ceremony, is stirred up in
just as healthy manner as under the old
order of things

A HUNDRED An ACRE.
Chairman Perry, of the Committee on
Charities, Receives
AN OFFER OF A SMALL POOR FARM.
One Hundred Acres, Including a Stone
Quarry, for $4,000.
PLENTY OF FRUIT AND POTATOES

Chairman Perry, of the Committee on
Charities, has received another offer of q
Poor Farm for the city, and from the price
and description given it seems to be just in
line with what the Mayor and many others
claim is the proper size and cost of farm
suitable to the ,city's needs The offer is
made by Mrs. A. B. Porter, of Shouse-
town, and the farm is situated at Anderson
station, on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railroad. Mrs. Porter's proposition is not
properly made, however, and unless she
conforms to the city's advertisement for a
farm by presenting sealed proposal,
couched in the proper legal terms, giving
the city 6O-days' option, the offer will not
have an opportunity ofbeing considered. The
proposal is made in evident sincerity, how
ever, and as the time for receiving bids will
not close until o'clock next Tuesday after
noon, she may intend to present formal
bid
The description of the farm and the offer
made is best given in Mrs. Porter's letter
given below:
Thomas E. Perry. Chairman Committee on Chari-
ties:
DEAR SIR-I offer to the city of Pittsburg
well improved, beautifully located and
sloped, in a fine state of cultivation and the
most productive farm in Crescent township
1.-THE apples and potatoes in the cellar at
present will prove the assertion). The farm
is well provided with runs and springs and
there is a good stone quarry on the prem.
ises The property is accessible by well
graded public road and is located 16 miles
below Pittsburg on the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie Railway, one-half mile from Anderson
station.
The farm is known as the w. S. Harper
farm, which will sell for 500 per acre. 1t
has never been previously offered for a Poor
Farm site. If more acreage is desirable l
will sell 20 acres adjoining the Harper farm
at the rate of SIS per acre. will also sell, if
necessary, a beautiful river front of eight or
ten acres the finest between Pittsburg and
Beaver, for the sum of Sl,s0O. With this
river frontage the farm would be admirably
suited for the purposes required.
If the committee desires to see the place
we will provide conveyances at any time
they will appoint, and will also ask the COM
mittee to accept or reject the offer within a
reasonable time, thereby giving us an op-
portunity Of disposing or it to other parties.
Yours respectfully. MRS. A. B. PORTER

Henricks Music Company, Linn.

Some time ago we ordered large stock of
pianos in expectation of our warerooms be-
ing completed. The instruments are arriving
daily, and, although our sales have been
crowded. Owing to some remodeling we
are doing to the old part of our building
only one-half of our immense wareroom can
be used; therefore it is impossible for us to
irving. However, we propose to clean out
all our old stock at prices which will startle
even the closest buyers. This is forced
sale and consequently prices will be slaugh-
tered. Such world-renowned pianos as the
Weber, Observation-Disclosures and Stuyvesant
will be included in this sale. We have also
a large stock of organs, all new, which will
be sold from $50 up. These are bargains
which buyers will do we'll to investigate as
they are bona fide, and first comers will get
the choice. Remember the place.
