FLOWER MsEA BALTIMORE
Campaign Against Government Free
Distribution Of Flowers.
Resolutions Adopted by the Maryland
Club Which Condemn the
Practice.

A meeting of the Florists Club of BaIti-
it was addressed by members of coaimit-
tee from the Commercial Florists Asso-
ciatiof OF this city, who SPOKE of the diff
culties OF the trade here, due to the free
distribution OF decorative plants and cut
flowers by the department under the Com
missioner OF public buildings and grounds.
This was held to be contrary, according %
the statements of Mr.. J &. R. Freeman, Ito
law and Justice, and to result eventually in
the extinction of the florist trade in the
city and pistrict.''
Mr.. Freeman addressed the meeting Il:
length and stated that about $4,000 vas
annually appropriated by Congress for
the main tel sEce of the public squares in
Washington, and that the Government
greenho uses were maintained TO supply
plants for these reservations. LAS u
matter of fart he said, the public squares
of Washington are a disgrace to the city
and nation, while the ma ior portion OF the
liberal appropriation is expended in the
cultivation cf blooms which are scattered
broadcast among Congressman, prominent
persons, and even to churches, for private
decorative purposes
The Washington florists are engaged N
an active effort I" have this practice stop
ped, al the visit OF the committee last
night was foi the purpose OF soliciting the
aid of the Baltimore florists, who unani
nlously adopted the following resolution,
drafted by Messrs. f. A. Seidiwitz, F. &.
Burger, and William McRoberts, jr.

The steak was Too High.

1t was not a limited game. The scores
of hardy Klondlke miners who looked on
held their breath. 1t was a jackpot, says
the New York Press and a sweet one.
Round and round went the bets, until
frightened at the very magnitude Of the
wager, one by one the players threw down
their cards and stayed out.
At last only two were left. They raised
each other with a recklessness that SEEM
ed mere bravado. Watches and guns
were added to the glittering pile of gold.

gathered in the money, however, he reap
peared, bearing upon his shoulder an en-

The New York World says 1t has been

win be about 100000 bales short Of cur
rent estimates This cotton oil manager
geta his information respecting TIE cot
ton crop from his agents, who are travel
Ing all through the cotton states buying
cotton seed. 1t must be admitted that hIs
sources Of information are excellent. The
belief is growing among cotton meB thst
the yield win not be nearly SO large as
e'as estimated a few weeks ago, ana con-
sequently they are looking for a higher
price In TIE very near future The cotton
growers also are beginning to think that
1t is mistake to hurry their cotton to
market There is no probability of ITS be-
ing lower than at present, and there arc
good reasons for thinking it will be much
lieher
Two cents pound advance, or even !
cent would mean many millions of dol
lars to the south. While we do not under
take to advise cotton growers to hold their
cotton, We do not hesitate TO say that a..
the indications point to a higher price. Why
the price remains so low, in the face of re-
ports mat the crop will be short, no one
seems to Be- able to explain satisfactorily.
The belief, however, that the crop IS much
below the estimates must have a great
Influence upon the market very soon.

Do rher Prefer a Direct Tax.

In an interview published in the Morn
ing News yesterday, Alderman WHY,
chairman Of the drainage committee, said
that successful opposition TO house drain
age on the ground OF constitutional limit
alton OF the city's Indebtedness would ne
cessitate paying cash for the drainage
work That would mean. Of course. an
Increase in the tax rate sufficient to pay
the cost OF a house drainage system. As
the work would be done in a year the en-
tire cost of II would have to be paid in
a year. As the city council has decided
that the city shall be provided with
house drainage system within a very few
months the tax rate would be per cent.
o. more next year.
Perhaps those who are opposing house
drainage prefer 10 pay for It by having
the tax rate increased. rather than by pay
Ing for it in ten yearly installments, thus
avoiding an Increase in the tax rate. But
they would then have to pay not only for
connecting their premises with the new
sewers. but would have to submit to
large increase in their taxes.
There seems TO be no doubt that the
city council does not intend to be deferred
from its purpose from carrying out its
house drainage policy, and 1t ought not
to be. That being the case the opponents
Of that policy ought to give very careful
consideration to the question as to wheth-
er they would advance their interests BY
forcing the levying of an extra tax for
house drainage purposes. It seems to US
that they would only increase their own
burdens by doing so.
If they hope to defeat house drainage
altogether. and thus perpetuate the vault
system, which exists in sections of the
city in which laboring people, as a rule,
live, they Will be disappointed.
That system Is a disease breeding one,
which should be done away with as soon
as possible. All citizens, and particularly
those who live where it is In use, are
deeply interested in having it abandoned.
Il seems to US that when Mr. Selig Men
del and those who are in sympathy with
him think the matter over carefully they
will arrive at the conclusion that the wiser
course is to cease their opposition to house
drainage. With house drainage their
properties will be worth a great deal more
than they are now.

Pettus' Long Poker Game.

A gentleman from the south told the
following story to a writer for the Chi
cago Herald: Senator Edward
Pettus of Alabama is an inveterate card
player, with a fondness for poker that
is well-nigh human in devotion. If the
time that venerable gentleman has spent
in the game could be summed up many
years would stand on the debit side of
his life ledger. He has won and lost his
thousands al one sitting. But to my
story. There lived in Gen. Pettus' town,
Selma, Ala, in the '70s, a wealthy rail-
road president, Maj. Lanier, of the old
Alabama Central railroad, running be-
tween Selma and Meridian, Miss, now
a branch of the Southern railroad system.
The major and general were boon COM
panions, with friendship almost as
strong as that of Damon and Pythias.
They used to spend their summers at the
majors summer home in Talledega, above
Selma. Both of them devoted most of
their time to playing poker since the rail-
road president was equally fond Of the
game. Old Manuel the majors colored
body servant, would sit at the table and
keep account Of the winnings and losings,
being the Banker At the end of each
year he would render accounts promptly,
and whichever was indebted to the other
would hand Manuel a check to square up
the game. At the end of one year Gen.
Pettus owed the major $4,000, another year
the major was indebted to the general
for $40 900, and so the game would run. 1t
was never higher than 81 limit. and was
kept up until the majors death.

The Inqutsition In New York,

lnUuAS1t1On In New OFk.
Mrs. Mack and Martin Thorn, the sus-
pected murderers of Guldensuppe, a New
York bath house attendant, are imprison-
ed in the Long Island city jail. During
the last few days, according to the re-
ports. they have exhibited symptoms
which lead Sheriff Don't, who has charge
Of them, 70 the opinion that one or both
are upon the point of insanity. The Won
der is that they are not already raving
maniacs. If stories printed in the New
York papers are to be relied upon.
1t seems that certain influences in New
York clty-some of the yellow journals"
and certain of the legal authorities-have
made up their minds that the woman
Mack and the man Thorn must die in the
electric chair, in order to vindicate their
theories with regard to the murder of
Guldensuppe hence they are moving
heaven and earth to manufacture or
otherwise secure evidence now lacking
but necessary to securing a conviction. OF
late the efforts of the newspapers and
officials have been directed towards get
ting a confession from one or both of the
tunate prisoners have been subjected to
tortures shocking to civilized ideas of JUS
tice. The prisoners have been subjected
not only to mental torture, but to actual
physical pain, in the hope that their
strength and fortltude would break down
and they would say something to incrim-
mate themselves.
ba Of 10 INV
in the empire state of the foremost nation
under the sum- does not come from one
Of the yellow journals" but from the
staid and reliable New York Tribune. Ac-
cording to that paper, which prints the
story partly upon the authority of the
sheriff having the prisoners in charge,
their soup was "doctored'' the other day,
so that it would make them sick. 1t seems
that the "doctored" soup performed its
functions. Shortly after eating it both
Mrs. Mack and Thorn were attacked with
severe nausea, which left them weak,
nervous, and in the woman's case, hys-
tencal. But it brought forth no confess
sion While the woman was thus weak
ened and sick, picture of a mans head
was smuggled into her cell and hung on
the wall, where she would see it the first
thing upon opening her eyes. 1t will be
remembered that Gul0ensuppe's head was
severed from his body. The idea In hang
ing the picture of the head on the cell
wall was to have it confront the sick wo-
man as an accuser come back from the
dead, and thus possibly so terrorize her
that she would, figuratively, stick her neck
into the moose. But the plans failed. The
prisoners have not confessed. They may
go crazy before they do confess, assuming
they have something to confess. The
treatment to which they are being sub
iected is well calculated to drive a per-
fectly sane and innocent person crazy.
1t is a travesty upon fair dealing and an
outrage upon justice that these helpless
people should be tortured, even if guilty.

Even-Handed Charity.
From the Baltimore American (Rep.).

Maj. Lewis Ginter left large fortune
and in his win nearly every charity in
Richmond was remembered. In these
requests Mai Ginter drew no denomina-
tional nor sectarian lines, but gave to all
alike in a generous way leaving to each
one a sum that cannot fail to help its
good work along. Charity like this is
surely well bestowed, and proves that the
giver was convinced that each one of these
charitiet, in its own sphere, was doing
its work well, and was worthy of en-.
couragement
