Large Crowds Attended the ChrSs-
anthemum Show Yesterdny-
t1rtvcs for Floral Designs.

The Third Desiment armory proved ailo-
gether inadequate yesterday TO acco,iii'io-
date the throngs of visitors at the chrss-
anthemum show. From yesterday noon
Until late last night the spacious hall was
thronged, and the members OF the tlorlsts
Club, under whose auspices the exhlpitlon
is being held, were enthusiastic over the
manner in which the show Is Delhs is-
ceived by the public.
Outside of the gorgeous display of chrys-
anthemums, tie principal feature yesterday
was the display of floral designs. Seven OF
the florists entered the contest for the
prizes for this event. The first prize was
awarded to the Probst Floral Company;
the second to Paul Ducret, ana the third
to Arthur Newell. The design exhibited
by the Probst company consisted OF a large
wreath, composed OF one row OIL Wnlte
Euckrias lilies, two rows OF bride roses,
lilies of the valley and orchids, Surroune-
ing cross of white Euchrias lilies, the
whole inlaid in a bed of East lndaa terms.
Paul Ducret's design consisted OF a SWISS
wreath of pink and white carnations, pride
roses, bridesmaid roses, lilies of The valley,
Gala lilies and cycas leaves. The desisn
exhibited by Arthur Newell was Roman
cross, four feet in height composed OF ILL
les of the valley, carnations, bride roses
and yiohts, with a background OF taley-
nese ferns
The banquet table, which was expected
to be the chief feature of yesterdays dis
play. did not prove the success that It
management of which this feature was
gwen, been able to procure table more in
proportion to the size of the big hall. This
table was expected TO be twenty feet long.
while the one exhibited was only half that
length, and the floral decorations, which
had been made for the large table, Were
out of proportion with the smaller one.
With the exception of this inconsruity in
proportions the table was furnished ac-
| cording to the most luxurious and fastid-
| .ous taste. The table was placed in the
| center of the almory on large Persian
| rug. 1t was laid with the finest of linen
and ware. The Dresden china dinner set
| was decorated with delicate pink flower.
in perfect harmony with the floral center
| piece OF the choicest variety of pink chrys-
| anthemums. the Mrs. Perrin in bed of
| East India ferns. The water and wine sets
| were of the best cut glass. Around the
table, separating it from the gorgeous beds
OF chrysanthemums. was a chain of ever
greens. supported at the corners by pillars
! of rare needle-pines. Notwithstanding the
| fact that the table and the floral decora-
| tons were a little ont of proportion, it re-
| ceiyed great deal of praise for its ele-
| ganCe.
| The bridal table, which will be set to-
| day, will be a twenty foot table, and will
| be made the chief attraction at the show.

PETER WANTS THE EARTH.
As n Result, the POpulists May Deny
Him Evan a Small Slice
NJ

Topeka, Kas, Nov. 13.-(Special.) Sena-
tor PETERS desire to grab everything in
sight may result in his getting left all the
way around. He wants to be reelected
United States senator, wants his paper, the
Advocate, to be made the official state pa
per, and wants one of his office attaches TO
be made state printer. This is a little more
than the Populsts feel is due him, when it
is taken into account that he deserted his
state at the time he was needed the most
to make political speeches in states where
there was no earthly show to defsat the
Republicans. In fact, his hoggish desire
for all these offices has arrayed a large
number of his old-time friends against him,
and he may wake up about January II and
find himself in ingalls, predicament-a
statesman out of job. There seems to be
n general desire on the part of the Popu-
lists from every section of the state to
send Bank Commissioner Breidenthal to the
United States senate, and if he would just
say the word his friends say that he could
get the Populist caucus nomination, which
is equivalent to election, by an almost
unanimous vote. Just what his plans are
is not known. but it is believed that he will
vet announce his candidacy for the place.
Whether he does or not, many of the mem
bers of the legislature have declared their
intention of voting for him in caucus.
There also seems to be well founded
report on the streets that the Topeka State
Journal will be named the official state
paper. and that Iron Jaw" Brown, of
Kingman, is sure to be elected state print

WRECKED BY ROBBERS.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 13.-The ESQ train
from Louisville this morning, on the Louis
vile & Nashville, bound for New Orleans,

very wild country. by train robbers.
The engineer saw an obstruction on the

A rail had been torn up and spiked down
again, three or four inches out of line.
The train, comprising two mail coaches,
baggage car and two first class coaches.

torn up for fully 200 yards. Three persons
were seriously injured, Mr.. John Thwatt,
of Atlanta, bound for Dallas, Tex, and w.
G. McGovey. of Monroe, being the most
seriously hurt. Two other passengers were
pinned under the smoking car, and only
after an hours work were they extricated.
Their names could not be ascertained, but
both came from Louisville. Bloodhounds
have been set on the trail of the wreck
ers by the railroad detectives. but as yet
no clue has been obtained to the guilty
parties Suspicion. however, rests on a
colored track walker, who was captured
near the place. He claims to have been
posted there to watch for train wreckers

HABITS.

man likes some hot drink for break

many should be denied coffee because it
upsets their liver and disagrees with them
in one way and another, still this condition
does exist, and when man finds it hurts
him he is generally sensible enough to
leave it out of his bill of fare. for it is
quite a bit pleasanter to feel well all day
than to enjoy a drug two or three minutes
and pay for it in aches and aiis or sick

a new breakfast drink has come into
