HOLY LAND FLOWER.
Lindsay, the Florist, Has an Unique Spe- cimen of the Calla Species
 of Lilies.

In the window of Lindsay's he florist, city office, a reporter yesterday noticed a most peculiar flower which proved worthy of more than mere glance.
 The flower is known as the Arum Sane tum, a species of calla flie native 'ao the Holy Land. The one referred to is a noble specimen, exceeding in size those referred to by botanistS. The flower measures twenty-two inches in length and ten inches in breadth at the base. It is elongated, ths' spathe protruding be- yond the leaf of the flower proper. The flower is a rich dark purple along the edge with a beautiful green color under meath, and wavy and curly along the edge. The spathe rises from the center ot the flower and is velvet like and black of color. The leaf is very peculiar. The flower is surely a curio.

DESPERATE.
A Mother Tries to Drown Her Two
Children and HerSelf..-The Little
Ones Rescued.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. Aprp tO.-An unknown
woman threw her two little children into
the river to-day from the ferryboat DR..
Hill. then plunged after them. The chill
dren were rescued. but the woman was
drowned
The only clew to her identity was note
inside D hatband, which read: Send to
Mrs. Ee..na Jost, 25S7 North Market
street"
The DR.. Hill is a regular ferryboat run
ming between East Carondolet and Davis
street. in South st. Louis. The boat left
its East Carondolet landing on the IL
O'Clock trip with a fair load of passengers
aboard. Among them was a woman with
two little children, one a boy about and
the other a girl about years of age.
The woman appeared to be between 80 ana
30 years Of age. She was heavily built
dark skinned and well dressed. The chill
dren were neatly clothed and very attract
i've.
As the boat neared the Missouri shore
the woman. who had edged her way TO
the rail. picked up one Of the children and
threw 1t into the muddy stream and 1t
disappeared with a faint scream.
So paralyzed were the other passengers
on the DR.. Hill that they simply gazed at
the mad woman. They saw her stoop
again and seize the girl. The child strug-
gled but she was lifted high above the
mothers head and tossed into the churn-
ing water. Then with a loud cry the
mother sprang through the gate on the
boats side and leaped overheard.
Captain Keller had by this time become
aware of the tragedy that was transpiring
He reversed his engines, but before any
steps at rescue could be taken boat
darted from the landing. In 1t was Mi
chael Bradley. fisherman, who pulled to
the spot where the children went down
When they appeared he pulled them into
the boat The mother did not rise again
Both the children. who were unconscious
were taken to the dispensary in critical
condition.
The mother was evidently crazy.
A call at the house number found in the
woran's hat resulted in the discovery that
her name is Mrs. Sophia Vogel.
The children are now in the city hospital
where they were revived. and their recov-
cry is expected. Before being rescued they
foated down the river for the distance Of
a mile.

GLOOM OVER The VALLEY.
The River Keeps on Rising the Whole
Length Of Louisiana.
The Thought Of the Desolation
Which Would be Wrought by
Breaking Levees Has Nerved
Thousands Of Men to Work Day
and Night Almost Againt Hope.

NEW ORLEANS, April 10.-Gloom
hangs over the valley Everywhere the
river is rising. AS the mighty stream rolls
toward the sea, its great weigat bears
dangerously upon the banks. Nerved by
the appalling thought of the ruins its en-
trance through any of the protecting le-
wees would bring, thousands of men are at
work strengthening the barriers. Any tiny
rivUlet trickling through the broad e,n-
bankment is cause for a signal o. alarm.
Keenly each sign is watched for, rapidly
a relief train responds TO the call, hurried
ly a lumber bulwark is built and earth
filled sacks piled in behind. So far each
summons has been promptly answered and
each effort met with success. but the
water is greater in volume and mightier
in force. and the alarms coming with more
frequency. and it is doubtful if the splen-
did system can prevail against the long
continued strain, which has just begun
anew.
Yesterday Governor Foster answered
truly that Louisiana was in no need OF re-
lief. None can tell what his answer will
be a week hence. Still Louisiana is better
favored that her sister States. Her levees
are higher and stronger, and her levee
boards are in good financial condition. A
railroad runs along the river on each side
almost to the upper line of the State, and
men and material can be placed with
great facility. On all this hang her hopes
The flood IS already greater than ever
known before but each days record will
be broken by the next day for at least
week to come and the levees, already built
up to stand the water expected, are being
built higher to stand the water that is GER
tain to come
Right here in the city. despite the care
fully built and solid wall around it, the
engineers have advised increasing the bull
warks.. and Mayor Flower has ordered all
the city forces to be In readiness to aid the
levee board in case of emergency. The
night guard has been doubled. and the di-
rectors of the fight all along the State line
have little chance to sleep, and the end OF
the struggle and its results are beyond
even the hazard of a guess.
