Statistics Prove That Women Have Made
1t "a Success.
Some of the statistics compiled for the
Worlds fair have been looked mp. They
show that there are sos women farmers
in the state Of Massachusetts. one fruit
grower and two who are following the
profession of florist In the south,
more especially, horticulture is carried
on successfully and very extensively by
women. Ia this field there are possi-
bilities for great success, as has been
demonstrated by facts from all parts of
the world Paris during the winter
season spends $500, 600 on lilies Of the
valley
One of the most noted floral displays
in our own city is under the manage
ment and supervision of woman, for
Mrs. Jack Gardeners greenhouses are
among the city's noted points of inter-
est. Her beautiful residence in Brook
line is embowered with vines, and the
beautifully kept grounds and conserv-
atories are famous for their magnificent
rhodadendrons azaleas and other
shrubs and beautiful plants. In the
greenhouses are nearly 400 varieties Of
orchids, and here are grown the beauti-
full violets so closely associated with
Mrs Gardner. One of the most interesting
and attractive displays in the grounds
is the Japanese iris, sent from Japan
by Mrs. Gardner when she visited that
country, We fondly claim an iris in
this country. but it must hide its di-
minished head beside these wonderful
flowers. True, the family resemblance
is easily traced. but in the likeness
there is such unlikeness that it seems
a wholly different flower The blos-
SONS are fully six inches in diameter,
with many more leaves than in the
common and showing a wide variety
of the loveliest tints, The plant is
treated in the japanese fashion, with
pipes edeing the bed, so perforated
that N even shower falls on all alike,
so that the requisite moisture is assur-
cd at all times.
One Of the greenhouses contains
tanks in which the African lotus grows
as Iuvuriantly as in its native waters.
The grapes for the table are raised on
the grounds.

A GREAT Bazaar.

Owners of Worlds Fair Displays May BE
Given an Opportunity to Sell Their
Wares.
CHICAGO, Oct. ?. I'm month there
will be thrown on the Chicago market
the largest and most varied collec-
ton of merchandise the world has
ever seen. Directly the worlds
fair closes all the displays, except
some historical collections and loan
exhibits, viii be for sale These DIS
plays come from every civilized coun-
try on the globe, and a number Of semi
barbarous ones. The value Of the col
lections has been estimated from 500
GOO. 600 to $4,000, 600 and even much
higher. There is little doubt that $50
900, 600 would be a conservative esti-
mate Of their value
The question is now being generally
asked: VIII the worlds fair directors
allow exhibitors to convert Jackson
park into a mammoth International
bazaar at the close Of the fair +?
The question VIII probably re-
main unanswered until the clos
ing days Of the exposition Al
ready strong influences are at
word to divert the great collection
OF merchandise to other cities. o. per-

people are entitled to all thanks for

say that the audience last night was

LEADvILLE, Colo, Oct. 8, 1898.
p. NJ at Weiser, Idaho: | wrote letter
some days ago to the Land and Improve
ment Co. at Weiser, but have not received
an answer as yet so | thought to write
you a few lines. ! would like to have a
few copies of the Weiser SIGNAL, and will
subscribe for it as soon as the editor will
send me his terms for one year. | would
like general description of your section
of country, especially of the valleys lying
contiguous to Weiser, and an estimate OF
distance from Weiser to the different val
leys in which can be found vacant lands.
There are four or five families here who
intend to settle in that part of Idaho.
How are the winters, and how early does
snow disappear in the spring and how
early in the fall does snow commence to
fall? Do you have any rainfall2 Is there
any timber on the hills contiguous to
these valleys? Please write me yourself
| ii possible and if not, hand this to some
person who will give me general descrip-
tion and prices of improved land, and the
prices of horses, cows, ETC.. for which |
hope to be able TO return your kindness in
the near future ORIN SULLIVAN,
ll2 West 18th ST., Leadville, Colo.
From the above it can be seen
whether the simple glory of the thing
compensates for the labor of answer
ing dozens of such letters in full.
1t can be seen that no one, two, three
or dozen copies of the paper would
contain all the particular information
desired by such parties. AS we have
repeated, repeated and repeated, there
t is only one thing to do-get up q
, pamphlet going minutely and exten-
e sively into every detail that home
seeker could ask, and keep a big
d stock on hand to be sent in reply tC
all these letters The man, too, who
n reads the above letter and is no
struck with chain of thought OF
~ how it must look to men who hav,
f heard so much about the wonders o

race of Brobdingnagians, find it
hard to believe. But supposing it
true, we draw the deduction that if
the spud mentioned is worth 25 cents
commercially it indicates going
price of pretty close to three cents a
pound, which indicates an awful
scarcity and hard winter. What
they gain in size they lose in scarcity
AS Murphys are only one cent a

lack in size we make up in abundance

with one that grew in The incompatible

Dr.. Lyman Abbott gives more explic' t
statement of his views of the Briggs case rs
follows The fundamental question, a
DIR. Briggs has asserted, is that man may
come to know ledge of God without having
any knowledge of the Bible, and the Gene
raj Assembly Of the Presbyterian church says
that that il false and dangerous
doctrine. In that matter, | have not the
slightest question that Dir. Briggs is right
and that the General Assembly ia wrong
The idea that man cannot come to
knowledge of God without q know ledge
Of the Bible would not only shut out from
. knowledge Of God all devout and earnest
seekers after God in the pagan world, such
A. Socrates and Marcus Aurelus. but il
would shut out likewise from tod all the
Old Testament patriarchs, Abrsham, Isaac,
Moses. Elijah. David ami Isaiah. for they
all lived before there was any Bible. How
conld they get knowledge of God if we
have not any Knowledge of God without
the Bible Men came to know ledge of
God through their personal conscious
ness of Him. and wrote that down. and
what they wrote is the Bible; and to say
that q man cannot come to any kuowl-
edge of God without the Bible is like say
ing that man cannot come to any eIper
fence of love without studying love liters-
ture, or any know ledge of flowers without
coming over the works of recognized su-
thorties on botany. 1t is agreed that there
are errors in the Bible. but they say that
these errors are all in translation. and that
in the original there were no errors. No
body now living ever saw the original do
cuments. and to make question of faith
depend upon the character of documents
which nov have no existence and which
nobody ever saw, is absurd. The Bible
is the history of the growth Of the con
sciousness Of God in the hearts and lives
of men. 1t is clearer in the later prophets
than it is in the earlier. and clearer in the
New Testament than it is in the Old but
cleafest Of all in the revelation tina, is made

Republicans Invited 10 the Rescue.

President Cleveland has at last expressed

Of his party. He probably could defeat a
state bank law If he chose. VIII he choose
to do sof This is one of the questions con
corning which the business men are in sus-
pense. 1t is an iniquitous uncertainty thai
ought to be dispellsd as soon as possible,
Another disturbing uncertainty of big por-
tent is Tariff Reform" What
does ii means What do those
in power, or rather their execu-
tive officers wish it to mean? In the
midst Of all this doubt that is serving to
paralyEe industry it is pleasant to hear tina,
the President holds much the same opioiens
regarding the silver question that he did be-
fore his election. But will his position
avail much on this particular questions?
The majority of his party do no, sppear to
be with him. II Was q well known fact that
the Sherman bill became Law to proven,
more radical legislation. There is . dis
position among some of the Democratic
editors to attribute the silver clause in the
Sherman Law to the Republicans and i, may
be we'll in this connection again to call the
attention OF the public to the vote on that
free silver amendment. OF those who
voted for that amendment only ee we're Re-
