FLOWERS IN OCTOBER.
Preparations to Protect Them From
FrOsts.


AS the evenings grow cooler we are
reminded of important duties among
the flowers. October usually finds
the flower garden in it's greatest beauty
and attractiveness, taking it for grant
ed, of course, that it's owner has eiven
1t proper attention. The verbenas and
petunias planted In the tulip and hva-
cinth beds have long since hidden from
view the dying forms Of the latter. and
are now mass of bloom, besides form
ing cool mulch, an excellent protec-
ton for the bulbs that are now olIietlv
at rest, In the most perfect and natural
condition. The salvias, gerani,Ims
heliotrope and other bedding n1ants
have now attained perfection. The an
nuals and perenniais that frightened
the early months are gone, but thew
are not missed, for other plants keen
up the succession of bloom.
In the garden nature constantly re-
peats herself. Each year is a repeti-
ton of its predecessor, and each month
but further development Of the plans
and processes OF the last. The seeds.
plants and bulbs that we planted in
confidence and hope in the springtime

silk belt and collar band, yet the sleeves
are canvas, with green plating and
cream lace at the waist. and it is a
fair sample of the French gowns with
waists and skirts alike. Chameleon silk
waists with wide linen collars, and
waists of soft Powered silks made full
above the wide satin belt, are very
much in evidence, and the Louis Quinze
coats Of light brocaded silks are shown
among the new styles to be worn with
light cloth skirts.
Skirts, in general, have been pruned
down to four and half and five yards
of fulness at the bottom, fit closely
over the hips, and are decidedly grace
full in shape. The seven-gored skirt
seems to be the favorite, but an occas-
ional one is cut in bell shape, with one
seam and very little fulness at the
back. Double and triple skirts which
have the effect of three half circular
founces are promised in the near fut-
ure, and trimmed skirts are very plenty
among the latest gowns. Some of the
imported gowns have panels of fancy
silk or velvet down either side of the
front, while others are trimmed with a
narrow band of fur, rows Of round

INCORPORATION THE PANACEA
Columbia Heights Citizens Agree 1t
Would Cure All Evils.


AT a large attended meeting of the
Columbia Heights Citizens Association,
held last evening at st. Stephens Parish
Hall, it was unanimously agreed that the
remedy for all the disadvantages and in
convenicnCcS suffered by the residents OF
the suburban sections would be found
in extending the incorporate limits of
The city so as to include all tic densely
populated sections of the District
The question came up onthe consideration
of the request of the lexington Citizens
Association, asking for the appoint mint of
a committee to act in conjunction with a
similar committee from this association
for that object.
The suggestion was Endorsed by Mr..
Bailey, who moved the appointment OF
special committee TO bring the matter
properly before Congress.
Mr.. B2iley's motion recommended that
Columbia Heights and I'll Nit. Pleasant, Is
far as the Spring Hill road, he included
within the incorporation limits Of the city.
The following committee was appointed
10 present the matter to Congress: Presi-
dent Ballinger, Judge Bundy, Secretary
George O. Simmons, Mr.. william Smails
and Mr.. Chris. Schneider.
President Ballinger, on behalf of the eX-
ecutive committee, reported that the con-
templated extension of street railway ser
vice in that section, so far at least as the
Metropolitan Railway Company was con-
cerned was practically abandoned, and that
nothing would be done in this direction
until the highway act' was finally dis
posed of.
He said he also had conference with
Mr.. Crosby, general manager Of the Po-
tomac Light and Power Company, and it
is understood that no overhead wires would
be erected except when the owners of the
adjacent property had given written con-
sent.
The following iYewmembers were elected:
Joel Hilman, r.. T. Hough. j. S. Stone,
B. F. Gibbes, and @. C. Duncanson.

How He Spent the Day at His Home

McClure's Magazine for November has
an article by Ida NJ Tarbell telling THE
Story of Lincolns Nomination in 1862
After narrating the work of the convention,
the writer says:
And while all this went on, where was
Lincoln? By Friday morning he was tired
and depressed, bit still eager for news.

WHEAT ADVANCES 2 1-4C
MARROW MARKET AND STRENGTH
DUE TO LIVERPOOL PRICES.
Trading Was Light hut Firm, Both
Corn and Oats Participating
in the Improvement.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Wheat advanced 2hc
on a narrow market to-day. Much of the
strength was due to the advance at Liver
pool. Other markets were neglected Corn
advanced &c and oats about the same.
Provisions closed with but little change.
Wheat proved more interesting than had
been expected of it the day before election.
Trading was not heavy. but the orders to
buy were in the majority, and sellers could
only be found when prices were bid. The
strength came principally from the foreign
situation. Liverpool opened lad higher for
futures, and reported decrease in stocks
of wheat, which were already small, of
135, 900 blu. The figures on worlds shipments
were conflicting. but all of them large, and
this was disquieting influence, but only
temporarily so. The quantity on passage
was $4,000 bushels less. The net result was
very strong market. December, which at
the close Saturday was bringing 729sQ7Sa4c,
opened this morning with buyers at from
1S14c to 7312c. A reaction to 1850 followed,
but from that point it turned upward again
and with steady persistence. but without
much activity in the trading it rose to 743sc
before II o clock, and later, after reaction
to 741ic 1t rose 10 14$4c. The Northwest re-
ceipts Of wheat were ,450 cars, or 40O cars
less than a week ago. and 300 cars less than
a year ago, which was partial confirma-
UOn Oh the preQlctlOnS so freely made last
week that the deliveries in that quarter
were to fall off sharply. Closing cables
showed an advance at Liverpool of 24d,
and the price of December, which had IN
the meantime fallen to 74Ac, advanced
again to 7412c. During the last fifteen min
utes an extra spasm of bullishness carried
the price up to 75c. The closing was firm
at 141sQ15c.
Corn ruled strong on very limited bust
ness. 1t was affected a good deal by the
decided strength in wheat, by the firm
cables and by the indications of smaller
local receipts. May started shade higher
at 2Ss4c and advanced slowly to 29Ac sell
ing at 29lsG29Ac at the close.
Oats were very quiet. but a firm feeling
existed and prices ruled higher; sympathy
with wheat and corn largely ruled fluctua-
tons. May opened sc higher at 2l$4c, sold
to 22Ac, and closed steady at 22G22kc.
In provisions almost nothing was doing.
The small run of hogs had but little in
fiuence in view of the proximity of cleo
ton. Live stock prices were higher, and
this, with the strength of grain main
tanned the opening advance. January pork
closed DC higher at $S.0212 January lard un-
changed at 4.50c, January ribs PFC higher
at 3.95G3971ac.
Estimated Receipts for Tuesday-Wheat,
165 cars: corn, Ill cars; oats, 494 cars; hogs.
IL 900 head.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
