FLOWERS.
Who of us have not felt a de
light in beholding Nature, smiling
in her sweet dress OF May roses:
How many artists have essayed
in vain with palette and paint tc
copy the patterns of beauty which
nature has delinealed from lily bells
hawthorn daIes aud violet beds.
Poets have caught the spirit OF
their language and given us as a
result the sweetest verses ever
penned. The crimson, blushlng
maiden rose, they tell us, has
caught the wooing whispers OF
the stately maple; the little bright
eyes Of the perlwinkles sparkle
with Il knowing brightness; the
little "kiss me quicks' pop up
with laughing boldnesS; while
The jonquils stretch their long
necks in utter amazement; aud
the bntter-cupS nod in delicious
satisfaction. What world OF in
nocent life a poet finds among The
flowers. And may we not see ev
err varied shade Of the rainbow
reflected in their tinted cheeks :
In them We fnd Natures subtle
moidins of all shapes known to
man. One is Il long, shaPeiy bu

are spurs, cups, globes, cones,
plumes and feathers.
God had purpose in making
these beautiful plants. When his

And when cold hands are clas-

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSETS.
UNION ASSOCIATIONS CREDIT
oRS IN COUNCIL.
Attachments Likely to be With.
drawn and Liquidation Begun
at an Early Day.

A meeting OF the creditors and stock
holders of the Union Building and Loan
Association was held in Pythian Han
last night for the purpose Of agreeing
10 plan by which the business OF the
association might be conducted or coil-
Guided with the least possible loss 10
unsecured creditors or stockholders
Fifteen or twenty creditors were elther
present or represented, and consldefd-
BILE interest was manifested.
The meeting organized by electing ii.
Weinstock Chairman and VIM. Norris
Secretary. MI Weinstock, in stating
the object of the meeting, said that at
least two creditors had levied attach
ments on the association, and that sucn
an action would necessarily bring mat
tiers to a head and probably cause con-
siderable loss to unsecured creditors,
as a receiver would be appointed and
the property be forced to a sale, where
it would probably not bring half its
actual value He requested opinions
from the several stockholders and Sc
cured creditors present.
Robert T. Devlin, who besides repre-
senting the Farmers and Mechanics
Savings Bank is a stakeholder in the
association, suggested that an effort
be made TO have those creditors who
had levied attachments Withdraw the
same. and that the creditors, both Sc
cured and unsecured, be canVaSSed with
a view to having them assign their in
TerestS to an individual or corporation,
so that the obligations of the associa-
ton should be met as nearly as posi-
Bile and the affairs conducted in bus
inesslille manner.
Mr.. Devlin stated that the Farmers
and Mechanics Savings Bank is one
of the largest secured creditors. and
that the association owes it about S4i,-
600 The National Bank of ID. Q. Mills
& Co, is also creditor. He believed
the banks would be willing to take all
the good securities, and might be will
ing TO make a rebate of interest for
six months or a year. Such an ar
arrangement, he said, would dispose Of
the necessity of q receiver being APP
pointed by the courts, and would give
time to realize on the property held. The
first or best securities naturally would
so to creditors, but what was left
would go to the stockholders, and they
could either dispose of it and divide the
proceeds on the basis Of ownership. or
form a new corporation and proceed
with the transaction of business
Mr. Weinstock inquired what would
be the result provided those who had
begun attachment suits refused to
withdraw the same.
Mr. Devlin said he saw in that case.
no way except for the association to 60
through insolvency and have the bust
ness turned over to a receiver and real

MERRY MASKERS.
The Turn-Verein Ball Was Great
Success.

The masquerade ball Of the Sacra-
mento Turn-Verein given at Turner
Hall last night was an immense sur
cess from start to finish, and the mer-
ry maskers held high carnival and
were as happy as the night was long.
The hall was filled to overfiowing, but
as admission was by invitation, those
features which so often mar an even
ing We're all lacking. and while all the
maskers enjoyed themselves to the ut
most, proper decorum Sgas everywhere
observed.

The grandest thing of the evening,
and the one which brought long and
unstinted applause, was the grand

formed by seventeen young women,
whose evoluttons and glittering attire
caught the fancy of the maskers. They

SENATE COMMITTEE.
Carries an Amendment Relating to
the Giving of Free Transporta-
ton to Persons or Property.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce to-
day authorized a favorable report on
the anti-scalping bill with amend
ments, the most important of which
was offered by Senator Tillman, relat-
ing to railroad passes:
THAT giving free transportation TO
persons or property, except as allowed
by Section ~ Of the Act to regulate
Commerce, approved February 4, 1887,
shall be deemed an unjust discrimina-
ton under Section 10 of said Act, and
in addition to the penalties upon in
dviduas provided in Section 10, the
corporations which may be guilty Of
any such offense shall be punished by
fine as in said section.
Provided that all free passes issued
by or on behalf of railroad corpora
tons, subject to the provisions of said
Act, shall be signed by some officer
Of the corporation authorized by vote
of the directors to sign the same, and
every such railroad corporation shall
keep record showing the date OF every
free pass. the name of the person 10
whom it is issued, the points between
which the passage is granted. ana
whether single trip or time pass, ana
If the latter the time for which 1t IS
issued and this record shall al all times
be open to the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners, or to their represen-
tatives, who may be duly authorized IN
writing TO examine the same
The House bin was used as basis
Of proceeding. and Section Of that
bill was amended so as to remove all
restrictions as 10 the person TO whom
a ticket holder may sell his ticket. ORR
ginally the person TO whom the ticket
could be sold must be "cnc who would
in good faith personally use it In the
prosecution of journey" This clause
was eliminated and the proviso was
left to read as follows:
THAT the purchaser of transferable
ticket in good faith for personal use III
the prosecution of a journey shall nave
the right to resell the same.
Section 3-was also amended so as to
reduce the penalty for the first Of
Tense against its provisions from Sl,Tv
to $500. to eliminate all provisions fer
Imprisonment, and provide penalty
of 81 coo for the second offense.

means of burning slow combustion fuel
had been available their lives might
have been saved, and, further, that
such a means could not but be useful

is called the ''Instra,' its interior being
''instratifed" with an incombustible
arrangement OF five strata of SUBJ

powdered charcoal fuel in a safe, porta-

that the Indian frontier at this moment
was just the place for the "Instra," his
lordship next brought the matter be-
fore Lord Wolseley. who thought It
worth a trial. and communicated with
the Indian Office, which has forwarded
500 ''Instras,'' offered by the inventor,
to the Tirah expeditionary force. Ac-
companying each "Instra" are eight
tins holding seven refills apiece. One
tin would afford about twenty-one

LOST MIND AND GIRL.
BY Plotting the Wrong Beauty
Through a Cycle Push"

Daffer has a bright mind. but it is

when he knows the day, hour. or date
He has to ask his landlady how many
cups of coffee he has had at breakfast
and she keeps posted on the methodi-
cal schedule he has arranged for the
regulations of his conduct.
The other day he was seized with a
fit of worldliness and took a young
lady to the matinee. On the way sne
managed to inyeigle him into snatches
Of intelligent conversation, but when
the car stopped at their destination mis-
wits were wrestling with the problem
of civilizing darker Africa. He walked
mechanically. There was busy rush
TO and fro Of carriages, wagons, and
bicycles. This brought Daffer to a
passing sense Of responsibility. He
seized the pretty young woman at his
elbow by the arm, restr aimed her gent
ly till there was a favorable opening,
and then led her rapidly forward, halt

explain, when another regal creature

demanded that she be put on a car at
