A Night Blooming Cereus,

Four years ago the writer received
Night Blooming Cereus plant from
the East and it has been cared for
every since in the hope that it
would produce one of its marvellous
flowers. The idea became deep rooted
in the household that the plant was a
failure.
On Sunday morning, however. an
immense bud appeared at least five
inches long md about o'clock in the
evening it began to open. 1t enlarged
hour by hour with an almost percept-
able growth. and at midnight was a
full flower, thing of Incompatible
beauty. By 6 o'clock there was faint
perfume from the flower but when it
was in its best, at midnight, the scent
was so pronounced as to be almost
sickening and prevailed the lower
floor of the house.
The flower measuring from its outer
sepals which were yellow. tipped with
crimson had diameter of ten inches.
The petals which averaged four
inches in length were of delicate
creamy tint, for the outer ones and
the rest snow white, the stamen and
and pistils were white and the whole
produced an effect that made one
realize that it was one Of the few
plants sold by eastern seedsmen that
exceeds the catalogue description
In the morning it began to fold its
petals, but on being placed in dalk
room soon regained its size and
beauty. It is one of the few that has
ever bloomed in this city.

ILLINOIS SILVER MEN.
They Come Out SquareIy For 81.
netallism.

| The Chicago News, a staunch silver
paper, has the following on the Spring
field Convention:
Illinois Democrats fulfilled the
| most extravagant hopes of free silver
advocates in to-day's state convention
Led by Gov. John P. Atgeld and Sec
rotary of State. W. H. Hinrichson
they went so far, many politicians say
as to make breach in the party in
Illinois which it viii be impossible To
heal, The men who took part in the
convention today are by the gold men
called rebels, aud W. II Hinrichson
is labeled the arch rebel of them all.
Every prediction made by the silver
men was fulfilled and then the con-
vention went further and took the in-
iative in calling q national cDnveG-
ton. 1t declared in favor of ignoring
the national Democratic committee in
case the demand Of the Ilinoisans
was unheeded. On this action the
charge of rebellion is based.
The convention declared for the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver at
a ratio Of 16 t. / and the action Of the
state committee in calling the state
convention was Endorsed.
President Cleveland received the
censure predicted. Not in the reso-
lutions, but in the speeches. Every
word spoken against the President or
his Administration was greeted with
noisy approval. 1t had been agreed
before the convention that the plat
form would not contain any reference
TO the opposition Of the President to
the leaders Of the conventions. but the
speakers had full sway, and they took
advantage Of the latitude accor ded
hem.
Chairman Hinrichsen, now the
acknowledged leader of the silver fac
ton, scored the President in the be.
ginning Of his speech opening the
convention. So radically did he ex-
press himself that the gold men de-
clared he actually read the President
Of the United States out Of the party.
This strain was popular one. Every
time a speaker censured the President
the denunction was echoed by cheers
and applause from the body Of the
convention.

MEDER'S NEW SYMPHONY.
A Wonderful Composition by a
Carson Artist

For some time past John Meder, the
Carson musician and composer, has
been at work on musical compost
ton, which will eventually make him
famous.
OF course everyone has heard OF
Hnyden's symphony, which contained
such delightfully."-. tranquil andante,
that the audience drifted off into
dreamland with the melody Meder
made a bet with Barney Mcclure that
he cou'd compose a similar piece of
music and put the Opera House audi
ence TO sleep He finished the work
last Tuesday and having orchestrised
the score, called the musicians 70
gether and began the rehearsal.
The first time the piece was played
it was not smoothly done and the full
effect was lost, but the second time it
was attempted. Lamy, who was play
ing the leading violin, dropped off to
sleep and fell out of his chair. Lem
mon and Day, who were manipulate
ing the comets. began to dcZe and in
few minutes the whole orchestra
was snoring. Meder turned the hose
on the crowd aud woke them up and
they took fresh start, but it was no
use, the musicians couldn't resist the
somnolent effects of the music and the
composition is dead failure as no
one but deaf people can play it and
keep awake. Meder says if he can
sell the score to a publisher before
the orchestra frys it out, he can get his
dough for it.

"Was the accident due to the obtru
sive skirt?" asked the interviewer
''Oh, no. To ride bicycle in petit

hand, it is quite unnecessary to wear
knickerbockers. I ride in a short
skirt, just short enough to avoid the
pedals, and CATERS. with a tennis
skirt and sailor hat-just the same
costume that one has for glacier
climbing. The costume is not unbe-
coming, can assure you. 1t is uni

would wear it I am sure bicycling
would soon become much more popu-
