never seen any m ire beautiful. Free
quently some friend favors me with
rich bouquet composed wholly of these
sweet gems, of all shades, colors and
f)rm5, with their rich green leaves OF
various shades. G., lumbus Day such
one was presented to me- by very dear
friend, fastened Nv | ,ns str Gamers of the
nations colors-rtd, while and blue.
Then, my friend, b'tnDusht myself
of you, and N )st heartily wished it pos-
sible for me- to tr ansfer it to you for just
little while, that you might the better
appreciate some of the beauties we en-
Joy on this far away elsie of the Sea-.
While 1 have seen some few rare
plants here, nearly all are about the
same as are grown elsewhere in South
Florida. Very few vines are seen here,
but the few are choice and very pretty.
One is Antigonon Leptopus or R ,sad de
Montana, with long racemes OF beau
tiful pink flowers. Two or three other
vines, from Cuba are very beautiful.
One with tuber like a sweet potato,
has a vine which climbs very extern
siveIy, den sely clothed with small
leaves land bearing long 1acemes of tiny
white flowers which last for weeks land
turn to pale green be- fore dr. opping IF
The odor of both tuber and flowers is
almost bearable, and onsidered poison
Gus by many, causing sickness in some
instances and are removed from the
trellises near the houses. Another vine,
also coming from Cuba, which [ have
been unable to learn the name OF, and
the only one of it's kind on the island, is
certainly magnificent. 1t bears COM
pact mass of deep purple flowers which
last from four to six months. This vine,
which is very large, comes from one root
and defes all attempts at propagation
which have been tried many times.
Shade trees are very limited here, but
am informed that previous to the fire
in 1886 the streets were lined with beau
tiful shade trees, but for various reasons
they have not been replaced. Trees and
plants of all kinds and descriptions will
grow and thrive beautifully anywhere
here, and under almost any conditions
and circumstances. The rock being
sufficiently pulverized to be utilized, the
plant or tree Immediately takes root and
in a comparatively short time becomes
an object of beauty. TO illustrate: L ,st
Arbor Day Sand Box tree four or five
inches in diamater was chosen to be set
in the school house grounds. After much
la Dor with bar and pick a hole about
the size of large wasI tub was made
in the coral rock. The tree being
trimmed to bare pole with three forks
spreading some four or five feet and
having small bunch of roots, was then
set with no soil except the pulverized
coral rock. Now it is beautiful shade
tree spreading from eight to ten feet.
And [ could cite too many just such in
stances to prove that with energy, per-
severance and capital this might be
made beautiful city-a true "Venice
of America. II has been repeatedly
1emar ked, and truthfully to, that God
has done the most and man the least for
Key West of any place in the world.
It has indeed a glorious climate and
many natural facilities for improvement

A SIN PROSPECT
THAT THERE WILL Be WORK IN LOCAL
Glass FACTORIES THIS YRAR.
The Managers al Factory "a" LET the Works
Yes sriay-Wags said TO be Overdue.
Ohsr Labor Intelligence,

1t is as good as settled that there will
be no work>done in the city factories Of
the United States Glass Company dur
ing the remainder Of this year, and it
nay be a good deal longer than the end
Of 1898 before the fires are relighted.
This unfortunate prediction was
freely made when the fires were ordered
drawn in the furnaces, last week, but
now that a strike has been ordered by
the A. L. G. w. q. on top OF that move
by the Company, and open warfare has
been declared. the last prospect OF a
resumption Of work for many q day
seems to have vanished.
Yesterday morning, In accordance
with previous intimations. word was
received at the local factories that the
U. s. Company would no longer recog-
nize the A. F. G. w. T., and on receipt,
about the same time, OF intelligence Of
the declaration Of the strike, Night
Manager Charles Morningstar, Day
Manager John Nichols, and Henry
Fink, metal maker, at Factory "H,"
stopped work, leaving the factory at
noon. 1t is understood these gentlemen
have been offered positions at Kings
factory, near Pittsburg, but as the offer
does not come to them as members OF
the Union, 1t will not be accepted. The
only persons now at work at factory
"H" are Superintendent Frohme, two
packers and oneadriver.
1t comes from good authority that q
large number Of circulars, stating the
situation from the standpoint OF the
U. S. Company, are in the city, for dis
tribution among worklngmen to-day.

Nonsy-Oihsr Criminal News

Several days ago a gentleman named
S. S. Woods came to the city on business
and that disposed Of, remained to see
the sights Of the town. Tuesday night
he drank 8 little too much, and laid
down in the doorway Of Market street
business house aud went to sleep. he
was found by two men, and taken to q
hotel. There one of the men went to a
separate room, while the other, George
Crawford, insisted upon sleeping with
Woods. Woods protested against this,
and went to sleep In q chair, Crawford
going to bed. When Woods awoke yes
terday morning his two hundred and
fifty dollar watch and some money he
had in his pockets were missing,
as was Crawford. Woods says he
knew he had his watch on after
he entered the hotel room, for he
looked at it before he went to sleep.
The watch chain was Topped through a
~button-hole OF his vest, and this but
ton-hole had been cut to allow the
chain to be loosened without awakening
the sleeper. A warrant was issued be-
fore Justice Dunning for Crawford yes
terday, and Allen, the companion OF
Crawford, was held rs q witness until
Crawford can be found.

of late.
Holden himself was only released
from the workhouse yesterday, where
be was SEM for drawing a butcher
knife on Sumpter. When Holden went
home, at Twenty-seventh street and
alley B, he attempted TO take his two
children from his wife by force. A
row eDsued, but he didn't get the chill

and after his wife'S arrest be went back
home, and got tue children and left.
The children were miSerably clad and
one had no shoes.

Slick RascaIs Circulating Raised Bills In
This Part OF the Country.
A telegram from Parkersburg calls
attention to the fact that people who
live by their wits have struck a COM
paratively new method Of raising the
n~ecessaries of life without working for
them. That is to say, 1t is rather new
in this part Of the country, although an
old dodge in reality. The process
consist in raising the denomination
OF government notes by cutting out
figures from small notes and pasting
them on others in such q n as to
raise the bills from four TO ten times
their original value, the pasting In OF
the figures baing supplemented by an
artistic and liberal use Of a fine pen.
Ten dollar bills are in This manner raised
to twenties by FASTING figure '2s"
cut from a two dollar bill, or to ffties,
by FASTING "5S" cut from a five dollar
bill over the figure 81" originally on the
bill to be raised and the bills thus al
tered are fixed up with a pen, in such a
manner that they eau be passed with
very little difficulty. Bills of this sort
have been passed In various river
towns, from Parkersburg t. Wheeling,
and there seems to be a regular gang at
the work. All bills OF large denomina-
tions should be scrutlnized carefully.

Yesterday evening a rather possess

Hall In quest Of assistance, saying she
was entirely without money and want
ed TO 60 TO her home. In reply to
questions by tho officers on duty
she said she had left her home In 3 GER

of to travel with q show. She stayed
with the organization for three weeks,
when, according to her statement, it got
too tough for her and she left and came
to this city, hoping to obtain work in a
store or elsewhere, as she did not want
to 90 back home. The officers told het
1t was extremely improbable she could
get anything to do, at a sufficient sala-
ry to keep her, at this time, and per-
suaded her to return to her parents,
which she at last consented to do. She
was turned over to the matron OF an In

t~elegraphed, and she will probably be
sent home to-day.

Yesterday a reporter for the REGIS
TER visited the immense Etna-Stand-
ard plant, and had talks with both rep
resentatives of the management and
workmen. and words OF encouragement
were heard on every side. Without a
doubt things are brighter now at the
big plant than for many months past.
Etnaville is filed with former work
men back to reclaim their old positions,
and yesterday was a brisk day In the
town, and every indication is that TO-
day 1t will be brIsker, as more OF the
plant will be put on full turn this morn
ing. Business men, seeing the familiar
smoke again from both sides OF the
river, we're heard to remark the change,
and they took encouragement from 1t.
The big break down mill OF
the Etna department will be on In
full this morning, giving employment to
about ssventy-fvs persons. The eight
inch train IN this section OF the mill has
been started, and the immense new
cooler was tried yesterday and worked
successfully. In the Etna department
there will be in operation this morning
the bar mill, the bre;x down mill,
the ~puddlers, the eight and niRe
inch guide mills, and sheet mills
Nos. / and 2. The sheet mills
and No. o guide mill will 90 on

THE HARLEM DRIVEWAY.

The arguments used In favor OF side
walks on both sides of the Harlem River
driveway at the recent hearing before the
Park Board were sufficient to prove the
fact that the people Arc on one side Of
the question and a handful OF selfish in
divduas who drive fast horses on the
other
The principle involved is precisely the
same as II the Park Commissioners should
decide that in the main carriage drive
pt central Park pedestrians should only
h- allowed to walk on one side os the
road, so as not to annoy the drivers of
vehicles by crossing the road.
The pedestrians outnumber the drivers
more than n hundred to one. The former
are, therefore. largely in the ma jority.
Mr.. Elihu Root spoke sensibly when he
asked why the whole city should be
taxed for the exclusive hCnen, of the
driving minority, while tho walking ma
jority is practically excluded from tho
fun and legitimate enjoyment of the al,
vdntages OF the expenditure.
II the three obstructive Commissioner
still insist on usurpinE the authority they
10 not possess to exclude the people from
this public ground, other and more posi-
tive steps should be taken to bring then
to sense OF their duty. Not another
dollar should be raised for the driveway

PnraUlnc Floors,

NJ. Burd, of Lyons has stopped aoso-

which makes them impermeable to any

moIstened by some antiscptic solution.
The same process can be applied with
advantage to barracks. schoolrooms and
other places. In private dwellings, where
the floors are covered with carpet. there
should he substituted for the ordinary
sweeping the use OF mechanical brushes,
