nature to meet special wants. There has
been a great change within the last
twenty years in popular taste respecting
flowers. Formerly the most common eX-
hibts of the florists art were bouqcets
made on the model OF cabbages, with
many flowers packed SO close together
that to Distinguish their quality separte-

were also floral pieces. constructions OF
wire packed with moss, faced with terms
or everlasting blossoms wired to tooth,

flowers, according to rigid rules that
gave them mathematical precision of ar

NEW YORK, Nov. 25th.
What becomes OF all the flowers used by

1t is question which speakers with
Socialistic tendencies like to put to an
audience and then answer it in the next

ssltishness of the wealthy classes which
spends $loO or $1,000 on floral decorations

''Why not give it to charity?" the

tically went for charity. 1t only needs a

The DEVILS Pump and McSweeney's
Gun.
From IOuS Republc.

One of the greatest combinations of nat
ural and artificial curiosities on the coast
of California Is called the DEVILS Pump.
The pholas, or shell miners, species of mol
lusk, which excavate immense caverns in
the very hardest stone, have tunneled the
entire coast in the vicinity of the pump.
Water PUSHES into these caverns with each
succeeding tide flow, and in this particular
case finds vent through cylindrical cpen-
ing some distance from the waters edge.
1t is estimated that this hole, which con-
meets with the sea cavern, is IS to 100 feet
in depth. Every time the tide rushes into
the cavern beneath the pump throws wa
ter to the height of full 100 feet above
the mouth of the opening. The Indians
formerly called 1t by a name which s1gni-
fed Fairy water gun," but the irreverent
white men have given 1t the title of the
"Devifs Pump and by that name it will
probably be known to future generations.
There is a similar curiosity near Horn
Head. County Donegal. Ireland, where a
hole In the rocks is called McSweeneys
Gun. Like the California oddity, 1t is on
the seacoast, and has connections with
submarine cavern. When the north wind
blows and the sea is at half flood" the
wind and waves enter the cavern and send
Up immense columns of water through the
"gun." Travellers who have visited Horn
Head and vicinity say that each charge of
water sent from the gun is accompanied
by an explosion that can be heard for
miles.

LICENSES REJECTED.
Held-Up Liquor Cases Suddenly Acted
Upon Today.

Held-Up Liquor Cases Suddenly Acted
Upon Today.
Without giving any reason for its action
the excise board this morning rejected the
six cases which 1t has held up since last
November. These reflections will go into
effect October 81 next, and the places Will
not be relicensed The cases include John
F. Kelly, 1872 B street southwest; James
Williams, 1874 B street southwest; Robert H
Key, 211 Sd street southwest; William A
E,hrmantrout YO1 F street southwest; Ed
ward Murphy, HOS 21st street northwest,
and Elizabeth Gallagher, 1876 21st street
northwest.
This action on the part of the excise
board was the subject of considerable COM
ment about the Commissioners office today.
The cases were held up almost year, and
the applicants were in total darkness re-
garding the outcome Of their cases. There
was no record of violation Of the law
against them, and although they have ap-
piled for the reason which prompted the
board to the action which puts them out
of business, they have received no explana-
ton.
Mr.. Frank Madigan, who represents a
large number of the liquor men before the
excise board, in discussing the case with
a reporter Of The Star today, said:
This action on the part Of the excise
board is without parallel, and does a gross
Injustice to the liquor men generally. Now,
in these six cases rejected this morning
there was, as far as I have been able to
find out, absolutely nothing against them
They had violated no law. and if, as it is
intimated, the license inspector reported
against them last year, it was plainly the
duty of the excise board to reject the cases
at the beginning of the license year and
not allow their deposit to stand and per,
init them to do business the whole veal
and then reject them just as the veal
closes. 1t may be that the excise board has
good and sufficient reasons for its action
but ii seems to me that justice demands
that these applicants be informed why they
will not be allowed to continue their bust
ness next year..
When reporter CT The Star questioned
the excise board regarding the above, eacf
member declined politely to give the reasons
" hich actuated them in rejecting the cases
All they would say was that the actor
represented the unanimous feeling of the
board, and the reflections were signed BY
ech member.
The only other business transacted by
the board this morning was the granting
of transfer license to Theophile Feltel
at the Brightwcod Hotel.

to his memory, however, as we'll as to
truth, to say that, in making 1t, his spirit
was catholic, and his patriotism broad;
for his purpose was to lessen passion, re-
store harmony to the embittered sections,
and unity to his divided country. His as
pirations were worthy of all praise. but
his apprehensions that harm would come
to the republic from cher.shing mementoes
Of our great struggle were misapprehen-
sions. These apprehensions were due
doubtless to two causes. He spoke as a
