grow in. The manure is not neces-
sary if one does not wish to leave any
seedlings growing in the seed box.
Fill the shallow box half full of
broken charcoal, lay some moss over
it and then fill in the soil, picking out
all Jumps and firming down the sur
face with bit of board. [ usually
pour boiling water over the soil in my
boxes to kill germs of insects Or fungi,
then SOW the seed as soon as it cools.
A pane of glass is then placed over
the box, a piece of paper over this,
and then the box is placed in my hot
bed. Whenever the top of the soil
looks dry I set the box in a shallow
basin of tepid water or sprinkle it
with fine hose. The glass must be
removed as soon as the seedlings ap
pear, but keep the shade on, raising it
little, however, to admit more air.
The most tedious part of the work
will be the transplanting, which
should take place as soon as the little
plants show their third leaves. A box
of nice soil, or several boxes, pre-
pared like the first, must be ready.
With lead pencil dipped first in wa
ter, then down beside a tiny plant,
then into the box of fresh earth, you
can easily transplant a host of Gloxi-
nias-if your patience holds out.
[ usually transplant my Gloxinias
three times, setting them the third
time in the boxes Or pots where they
are to grow. One year [ grew quite a
number of fine seedlings in an old
cold frame with a Slated top for
shade. I half expected that rain
would spoil their leaves Or rot the
tubers, for the summer was unusually
rainy, but flowers and plants were as
fine as any ever had. My chief trou-
them away at last by the use of to-
bacco stems among the plants.
It is easy to keep Gloxinias over
winter if you have a greenhouse.
Simply turn the pots over on their
sides under the benches to dry out
and leave them there until spring.
Otherwise, when there are many
plants, or when they are grown in
open beds, it is better to let the leaves
quite dry off, then lift the tubers and
store them in frost proof place, one
layer deep in boxes of dry sand.
In planting them again in early
spring, remember to only partially
cover the tubers and to water them in
proportion to the amount of heat you
can give. A warm window full of
plants would require liberal amount
of water. In a cooler one, as heavily
watered, the tubers would rot. And
remember that at no time will GloX-
inias bear full, hot sunshine.
Your plants should grow to fine size
the second year. It is often necessary
to thin out the leaves in the center of
kinds. This allows
the buds to receive more air, light and
space; it also helps the plants to
grow into better shape. Some of the
freer Towering kinds will literally !
choke themselves with leaves and

addition. In Lily Lake also was seen
growing in fine shape the Victoria
Regia, Victoria Rande and Turayle
FiroX.
In number of the fountains were
various sorts of Water Lilies, one no
ticeable being the little grotto on
Capital avenue. Here at the feet of
the beautiful little white statue was a
full Ferns and other wild flowers, and
filled with the richest delicacies the
water nymphs could bequeath to the
floral world. Not great quantity,
but sufficient to represent all the col
ors and give elegance to this most at
tractive place.
The most beautiful display of Water
Lilies was found in the electric fount-
ain, midway between the woman's
building and the auditorium. The
fountain was, within itself, tri-
umphant work of art and had a cen
trail location in one of the most mag
nificent tracts of landscape gardening
to be found in the South. Mr.. Joslyn,
the gardener, seemed to make this
portion of the park the pride of his
master hand, and it shows up with
undying credit to himself and the
Centennial Company wonderful
achievements in practical and posi-
BILE Horticulture in the South.
On the sparkling waters of this
magnificent fountain were seen grow
ing two dozen or more varieties Of
the most gorgeous Water Lilies of the
tropic and temperate zones. Every
shade of red, white, blue and yellow
was artistically arranged in one huge
perpetual bouquet-royal. The same
dainty cherubim dedicated by Osiris
from the placid waters of the Nile to
the stormy bosom of the Cleopatras
were here duplicated with unsubdued
splendor-the day-blooming sorts
waking with the first mathis of morn
and nodding their heads as the even
ing chimes from the tower of the au
ditorium announced to the night
boomers that the waking stars babe
their presence to help keep vigil
through the still hours of the night.
Thus one ever-recurring round of di-
versified glories blazed forth with all
the colors of the rainbow, day and
night, from the quiet bosom of this
modern Isis to enchant the modern
votaries that were constantly lured to
her immaculate shrine. The Centen-
NAL guards had more difficulty enforc-
ing the injunction "hands off" here
than any other place on the grounds.
Water seems to have a natural attrac-
ton for ones hands, especially during
the warm summer days, and it was a
double effort, even for the most res
pectful, to keep from unconsciously
splashing. the water with their hands
and, forgetting themselves, reach out
for one of the tempting Lilly Pads."-

REV, WIETHAUP.


Evansville News, req. Ith
Col. C. G.. Schroeder returned
home last night from Huntingburg,
where he had been for several days
on account of the serious illness and
death of his stepfather, the Rev.
Frederick Wiethaup.
The life of the deceased came to
an end at II: 80 O'Clock yesterday,
at the advanced age Of SO years, 2
months and IL days. He was born
in Schledehausen, Hanover, Ger
many, on December Is, 1918, and
emigrated to this country in 1887,
settling at Louisville. A year later
he removed to Dubois county and
assisted in the erection of the first
house, which was a log cabin, in the
city of Huntingburg.
In 1S41 the deceased became a
member Of the German Evangelical
Association, and five years later
was ordained a minister in that faith.
His first charge was at Mt. Carmel,
Ill. He was later stationed at In
dianapolis, Dayton, o., and at
Evansville twice. His first resi-
dence here was in 1858, and at that
time he was principal in the erection
of the German Evangelical church
at the corner of Sth and Division
streets. While here he was married
to Mrs. Marie 4. Schroeder, who
lived at Huntingburg. She was the
mother Of Col. G. G.. Schroeder, Of
this city. She died on December
26, 1890.
Rev. Weithaup was stationed here
later in the seventies in charge of
the same church. In 1880 he re-
tired from the pulpit and returned
to Huntingburg to live.

FIRE.-The residence of Mr.. Lee
Spayd, on Jackson street, was burn
ed Sunday morning. Loss about
800; insured for $3.50 in the Gram
elspacher agency. The fire was
first discovered about 4 80 O'Clock
on the roof, and is supposed to have
caught from spark or defective
fiue, and the entire building was a
mass of flame before any water was
put on it. This is the first fire in
Jasper since the water-works were
established, and the result will not
be conducive to a lowering of in
surance rates.
The hose reels were a good while
in getting there, and then time was
lost in searching for the the wrench
to open the fire hydrant, and then
it was found the couplings of the
18th street reel didn't tit, and more
time was lost, until the 9TH street
reel arrived, and by that time the
building was too far gone to save.
The 9th street reel soon had on a
stream Of water, and put out the
fire on the standing charred re-
mains. Mr.. Spayd's family were
given rooms by neighbois, and he
will rebuild as soon as his insurance
is adjusted.

A Coop PRoJEcr.-A petition
was presented on Monday to the
Boards Of County Commissioners of
Martin and Dubois counties, and
numerously signed by taxpayers Of
both counties, asking for the con-
struction by both counties, under
the law providing for joint action,
of bridge over White river at
Haysville. This is a proposition
which has been talked about for
years, and there is no question but
the completion of the proposed
bridge would be a great financial
benefit to the farmers and business
men of at least half Of each of the
counties, and as HARRISON township
has for years been the most prompt
tax-paying township in this county,
and most of the taxes heretofore be-
ing expended for the benefit of 9TH
or localities, they are entitled to
have their wishes looked after care
fully.
Haysville is a good point on the
river to locate bridge, as the banks
on each side are high, and there is a
rock foundation for abutments and
piers. The petitioners estimate the
cost of the structure at $1,000, but
it will probably cost more, as it
should be Of iron and substantial
when built. Mr.. Robert Braxton,
who owns a large farm in Ruther-
ford township, Martin county, adj
joining the North side Of the river,
and with an inexhaustible quantity
Of good building stone upon it,

in the bridge, the contractor to
quarry it.
