THE SECOND DAY OF THE FLORAL
EXHIBITION A SUCCESS
Full ONE.
NEW AND PECULIAR TYPES.
The PICTURESQUE TEA-ROOM HAS
PROVEN A HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE
FEATURE.

DO not write your name upon the sand
nor yet on the tinted stationery if you
want to preserve the record but inscribe it
on the silvery leaves of the African silk
tree shown in the Golden Gate Park ex-
hibit at the chrysanthemum show.
That silk tree was one of the wonders of
the floral exhibition at the Palace Hotel
yesterday. 1t is about four feet tall and
has numerous fieshy, lance-shaped leaves
with soft, silvery sheen that makes it in
deed thing of beauty. 1t was feature
OF the Outdoor exhibit of Golden Gate
Park which exhibit is completely changed
each day. Yesterday the Romneyii coul-
teri, California tree poppy, had replaced
other blooms and with its "heart of gold"
and dropping, silken, white petals, at
tracted much attention. There was a
wealth of chrysanthemums, comprising
some of the latest and choicest specimens
in this collection.
The Sunset Seed and Plant Company had
added some new floral attractions, among
these the handsome new bedding plant
strobilanthus, of rich yet subdued color
ing, resembling the coleus new chrys-

variety, is the deep yellow Emperor of

sight and palate alike. The Mrs. E. D.
Adams chrysanthemum, a large white
flower to be found in this collection, con-
| tinued to be center of admiring groups.
Aside from its size ana beauty the plant is
remarkable from the fact that 1t bears
from five to seven blossoms.
Between the Sunset Company's large
display and the exceedingly tasteful one
made by ]. Carbone is mimic fountain
constructed of ferns and palms and with a
cluster of pink (chrysanthemum) mer-
maids rising from it. This piece, which
forms an artistic center for Maple Hall, is
the exhibit made by George P. Jones.

collection OF fifty brilliant azaleas shown

and it is understood by all that should it
become paying proposition the benefits
flowing from it will be more direct and
larger in proportion than from any of its
rivals along the lode. 1t is so near the
center OF town that the men employed
there would naturally reside within the
town limits, paying rent and spending
their wages with the established firms.
The building covering he hosting works
of the mine is a very prominent landmark,
from the town, standing alone as it does
upon high elevation itself, and from the
dump of the Alma mine in turn one of the
finest views OF Jackson and all the sur

mother lode zone here is at its narrowest,
being but little more than mile in width,
and one can trace the course of all the
principal veins readily from a single point
if posted by some person well acquainted
with the district.

ment shaft, 12x5 feet in the clear, and the
timbers are 12x12 inches. 1t has been sunk
to depth of 40 feet.
Lately the company has been using a
power drill, both in sinking and drifting,
and have found it great advantage in

Strong Central Union Likely to Be
Formed Soon.
The building trades journeymen are
gradually working toward the formation
OF central body or a building trades
union that will take in the carpenters,
bricklayers, painters, plumbers and other
unions.
The proposition has been under discus
sion for long time, but of late it is taking
tangible shape. Some of these unions
have appointed committees to discuss the
project with committees of other bodies
and so far as can he learned there is de-
sire on the part OF the majority to bring
about such an organization.
Last evening the Carpenters and Join
ers' Union % appointed committee to
meet with like bodies of the other unions.
The members of No. % are all favorably
disposed toward the formation of build
ing trades union.
AT the meeting of this union last even
ing twenty-one new members were elected.

FOR STEALING SHEEP.
j. W. Rockwell Arrested for Crime
Alleged to Have Been Committed
in 1893.

Detective Gibson arrested J. W. Rock
well at his home, on Bridge street, off
Broadway, yesterday on a warrant from
Stockton, where he is wanted for a crime
alleged to have been committed nearly
three years ago. Sheriff Cunningham Of
Stockton assisted in making the arrest.
In 1893 Rockwell bought band of sheep
from John Decosta OF Stockton, rendering
in payment fifteen days draft on what
purported to be San Francisco business
office. In due time the draft was returned
unpaid, and then Decosta found that the
supposed business office was in reality a
saloon. He also learned that Rockwell
had sold the sheep for so cents head less
than he "paid" for them.
Rockwell was located few days ago by
the local authorities, and the Stockton
Sheriff was promptly notified. He will be
carried to Stockton to-day. The police
here say that Rockwell is wanted for a
similar offense committed in Humboldt
County in 1892,

upon mirror. Stray violets rested upon
the lake-like surface from which they
were reflected, and perched upon the edge
of the lake were birds of bright plumage
that held violet stems in their tiny beaks.
1t was an exquisite bit that rested the eye
after gazing upon the munificence OF
chrysanthemum form and color.
Apropos of the new California violet is
the Golden Gate, which is a sport OF the
favorite variety. Emory E. Smith, man.
ager of the floral exhibit, shows generous
cluster of the sport, which is larger and of
richer color than its parent and retains its
freshness for a surprising length OF time.
f. A. Miller of the Hayes Valley Muir
sery makes one of the most attractive ex-
hibits of the occasion. He shows minia-
ture forest of palms and ferns, and oppo-
site this there IS collection of chrysanthe-
NUNS, heather and other flowers embedded
in moss.
One of the favorites of all visitors is the
ostrich plume variety of chrysanthemum,
big feathery tuft of deep red shading into
brownlsh yellow, one OF the specimens ex-
hibited by the enterprising firm OF Japa-
nese florists, De Motto Bros.

the brightest of the show. The firm shows
its speciality of carnations in extenso, and

Hughey had gone to his barn and was
unhitching team when some one hidden
in the brush near by fired and rife bullet
whizzed past Hughey's ear and entered
the side of the barn. Hughey whirled
around, but could see no one, and he then
lodged out of sight into the barn to escape
a second shot.
Nothing further occurred, and after wait
ing awhile, Hughey ventured out. He
went to the spot this morning, and found
the tracks of heavy boots, and saw indica-
tions of where his would-be murderer had
knelt and waited to get shot at him. He
said he had no idea of who his assailant
was and SO far as he is aware he has no
enemy. He is inclined to believe the man
was q Mexican or Indian.
Officers are trying to trail the stranger
by his track, but it is not probable he will
be apprehended.

resident physician and surgeon. DR.. Mer-
rift sized up the buildings from several
sides, inquired the cost of running the hos
pltal and the number OF patients that
could be accommodated. AS he was leav-
ing, and after saying that when he gave
anything toward hospital it would be for
a new one, he remarked to old DIR. Bart
lett, "Well, doctor, struggle along here as
best you can and when am gone you will
be able TO enjoy my hospital"
Captain j, n. Knowles threw some more
light upon the story of the intention to
build hospital, and explained how he
managed the trust in his charge as though
1t were his own property. He said he
usually gave each OF the two boys $3.50 a
month, the surplus income of the Knowles
trust. "They got the money at 8 o'clock
IN the morning on the first day OF each
month";" said the comely white-haired
captain, and then he continued:
II took the trust to please Mrs. Garcelon.
There's nothing in it for me. I'd just as
soon give it up to any competent person.
II told Captain Frank Purinton when
he expressed himself as dissatisfied with
the pay he was receiving from Mrs. Garce-
Ion, that / wouldn't leave my business,
wouldn't leave my ship and be loafer for
anybody. l never suggested that he ask
for $4,000.

would give Miss Mcclellan $50, 600 or
$50, 0O0-$50a north is not enough for her
to live on, and she declared that the doc
tor had sufficiently provided Tor her."
Captain A. NJ. Simpson, the fifth sea-
captain witness and third cousin of Mrs.
Garcelon, bolstered up the hospital and
the Bowdoin College probabilities by re-
lating a few of his experiences with his
moneyed cousin.
The case will be continued next Monday,
when Judge Hayne has promised to put

which return rich assays. The states are
also very heavily mineralized.
The Alma Company is one of the few
which have started right on the mother
lode. Not dollar has been spent in e1-
perimenting. Accepting the experience OF
the Kennedy and other companies on the
same ledge as criterion for guidance, a
policy in consonance with that teaching
was outlined and adhered to from the
start. The Kennedy ledge cropped boldly
on thousand feet of the Alma ground;
it prospected we'll in free gold, showing
that it was not a barren zone; depth had
proved the Kennedy and other mines to
be permanent and to be greatly richer at
the lower levels.
What was the use, under these circum-
stances, of following the almost universal
bad example and squandering money on
prospect holes which would prove nothing
after they were sunk, and serve only as
reservoirs to catch surface water and help
spoil the mine? A working shaft was
located in the right place and is going
down to open up a mine. Levels can be
opened up and drifts run for prospecting
whenever desired, and if there is a m inc
not stroke will have been made in vain.
If there be no mine the right way has been
adopted TO determine it. Once for all new
and useless prospect holes will not be
sunk year after year, as is usually done,
and nobody be the wiser after all.
All the improvements at the Alma mine
are of substantial and permanent char
acter. Nothing is built for show, but the
best of everything is provided for use.
The men composing the shareholders OF
the company are putting up their money
quietly and deliberately to find out
whether, they own a mine, and will con-
tinue doing so till they are satisfied on

REDWOOD CITY, CAL. Oct. 25.-The
San Mateo County flower show will be held
at Redwood City on November l and 2.
Nearly all the prominent growers who
supply the San Francisco market with
fragrant blooms will make exhibits.
Timothy Hopkins and Michael Lynch,

space has all been carefully apportioned SO
that only the best and little from each
exhibitor will be the rule. Cash prizes
and awards will be given for the best gen.
eral exhibit and for the best single cut
chrysanthemum.
In the hall decoration a definite color
scheme and harmony of ideas will be
strictly adhered to. The musical pro-
