The Names of Plants.
Mcehan's Monthly.

When naming a plant in honor of some
great man, liberties are frequently taken
in the photography. and very often the per-
than by anything special that he did to de-
serve it. The celebrated French botanist,
Baillou, had the naming of a plant from
the island of Juan Fernandez that had
never before been named or described From
that island he had naturally the story of
Robinson Crasoe in mind and he Thought
to honor Crusoe's man. Friday. he would
give this plant his rame; but he did not
call il Fridaya. but translated it into the
French name for Friday-that is to saw
the sixth day of the week. Vendredi. and
the plant became described i'm the books as
Vendredia No one would ever suspect from
this name that ii was intended to honor
Robinson crusoe's sole companion on the
desoIate island.

Dear, whom / would not know

There comes time Just once week

A smile, voice, a touch;

For Dick, my Dick, dear fellow,
Takes q common, flve-cent car.
But never maiden rich and fair
'Mong cushions satin fine,
In gown of silk and laces rare,
Had dearer love than mine.
So every Saturday wait
The happy moments when
His car comes swinging round the bend,
And Dick has come again.
He glancss up; know 1t, though

For not yet may tell him
That love as fond as he.
Then comes the bells far tinkle
And the maids reluctant feet. &
And then hear him on the stair
And then at last-we meet.
My heart beats 80 | cannot speak,
He thinks me coy and cold;
1t is because of depths of love
The which have not told.
But when the autumn leaves are crisp,
When snow has come again,
Dear Dick will be my own, my own!
Perhaps I'll tell him then.

NEW FIGHT AT VELESIINO
[By Gable to the Associated Press /

Icy CaDle 10 Tue Associated PreSS
HEADQUARTERS OF THE TURKISH
ARMY IN THESSALY, Pharsaios, May
Z. 1877 A. NJ. Delayed in transmission).
EARLY today, as briefly bulletined to the
Associated Press, there was an engage
ment, lasting several hours, between the
Turks and Greeks at Velestino. The lat
ter were beaten. The Greek force re-
treated in the direction of Volo and also
on Almyros. The Turks started in pur-
suit of the enemy
Later Turkish Division succeeded in
forcing it's way through the fort and last
line of the Greek entrenchments on the
heights in the rear of Velestino. The
fight was of short duration Both sides
fought with great courage and determin-
alton; but the fire of the Turkish Infan-
try eventually decided the result. Toward
the end the action the Turkish Artil-
lery fire was directed with the utmost
accuracy, the Battery commanders tax
ing great deal-more care in judging
their distances. The shrapnel fire upon
this occasion and in the previous engage
ments before PharsaloS was murderous
almost every shell being accurately
pitched. The fire was aimed low, so
that the danger zone was much wider.
The Turkish loss at Pharsalos was
slight, since only the advance guard of
ers had the way clear for them by the
fire of the Turkish batteries.
The Turkish loss in the fighting at
VeleStino was heavier, but the number
killed is not announced. Two hospitals
at Larissa are almost full of wounded.

TOPEKA. Kas., May 8, 1s97.-The peo-
pie of Topeka have declared war upon
the unlawful saloon. A week ago a
handsomely appointed saloon was opened
in the principal street of the city after
an absence of twelve years and it has
been claimed that liquor was being sold
there openly. This state of affairs suf-
feed to provoke a mass meeting at Hamil-
ton Hall, the largest auditorium in the
CITY, last evening, which was attended
by 5000 people. H. A. Vance, President
of the State Temperance Union, called
the meeting to order. Early in the pro-
Senator William F. PETER and A. L.
Williams, general attorney for the Union
Pacific, who made speeches in which they
advised that the people take the law into
their own hands and destroy the open
sale saloon by force If necessary. When
the assemblage had been worked I'D to
state of more or less excitement a
notorious negro joint keeper tried to re-

throat and thrust him from the stage
when another man grabbed him and
threw him out of the hall. The meeting
after listening to several fiery speeches
adopted resolutions calling upon Governor

Meeting-New Men Doing

The meeting of the Street and Water
Board next Monday afternoon is awaited
with intense interest by several hundred
applicants for offices. The Board will
again set the guillotine in operation and
before it rests about half a hundred Re-
publican heads will fall. The present
Republican office-holders will not all be
removed at once, as the Commissioners
do not propose to do anything to cripple
the Department. 1t is settled that few
of the men who held office during ex-

under Mayor Hoos' administration.
Among these are Chief Engineer Rug
giles and Charles Van Keuren 1t was

among those who are slated for their
places are Bert Evans, John Round, Fred

Hall today and no excitement Clerks

Messrs. Martin and Rodgers were at

gers and Martin reported for duty and
then left. They have been doing this
for several days.
Leader Robert Davis said:-s"The Demo-
cratic party can and will fill all the Offices
with good and competent men. There
will be no sinecurist, and every man will
be compelled to do his full duty or he
will have to retire. There will be no
idlers."
Mayor Hoos sis still bothered a great
deal by office-seekers, but he gives them
all to understand that he will not inter-
fere and will let each Board make its
own appointments. He is confident there
will be no occasion for complaint The
Mayor is already doing good work He
carefully scrutinizes every bill brought
before him for his acrfon and satisfies
himself that they are correct.
