The Care of Flowers.

The indianapolis Florists Club at its
meeting last night, discussed the general
condition of the trade at present, and its
decline of late years formed the principal
topic of the evening. A paper read by John
Hartje brought forth considerable discus
sion. He held that people. as a general rule.

and proposed a practical demonstration at
the next annual flower show in November
A valuable plant taken from the florist TO
the private house. he says. generally be-
comes lifeless and the leaves turn brown
thus Offering no encouragement to the public
to make purchases. AT the show he pro-
poses to take plants in every stage of their
gradual death and show the public the
proper treatment. The florists feel very en-
thusiastic over the coming exhibition at
Tomlinson Hall and believe that the fail
ures. financially. of former years will not be
duplicated this time.
Another matter for consideration was the
unprofessonal practices of some of the local
flower men in soliciting patronage A com
mittee was appointed 10 investigate this
state OF affairs and offer some suggestion
to the future treatment of these dealers
by members of the club. Another commit
tee was appointed to make ARRANGEMENTS
for an excursion to Anderson, where the
club has been invited as body by Messrs
Stewart & Hall, OF that city.

THIRD TIME THE CHARM.
The Hopes, at Least, for Newly Oval
Tonight.

Once again the patrons Of cycle racing
were disappointed by the failure of the
"Plugger Bill Martin-Harry Gibson paced
race to come off at Newly Oval last night.
But the weather man was again in i'll
humor. making it necessary to postpone the
big event until tonight. The telegraph
boys championship and the entire pro-
gramme will go off in the regular order if it
doesn't rain.
The pacemakers last night even went so
far as to try the quads and quints on the
wet track, and although it would take sin
giles in good style, the multicycle racing was
dangerous, and the stars left the track COM
pany TO make another date. The latter
gaplely decided to do or die. and will take
a chance tonight, when every effort will
be made to run off one of the best cards CT
events that has been offered in the West.
The stars and their thirty pacemakers will
take another trip around the city in car
riages and tally-ho to-day with drum
and fife corps as an escort. All tickets out
will be good for tonight and the soldiers
will be admitted free.

An order was issued in the Superior Court
late yesterday evening restraining Morris
E. Cleary and James Martin from interior
ing with the affairs of the White River
Sand Company. The suit for injunction
brought by the sand company grows out of
a dispute over boundary lines in White
river, Just north of the Washington-stree
bridge. Cleary and Martin have been work
ing a sand-bar in the river near the bridge,
and the White River Sand Company has
been pumping sand near by. Cleary and
Martin have claimed that their neighbors
were working too close to them. Yesterday
it is said some men in the employ of the
defendants attempted to prevent their
neighborS from working.

A Campaign in Which Quartermaster

Philadelphia Press.
The vacillation OF Mr.. Gladstone, who did
not know what he wanted to do with the
Egyptian Sudan, led to the fall Of Khar-
Anglo Egyptians, with Gordon at their
head. feil before SC, 900 Dervishes under tie
Mahdi. and the Inflated British expedi-

Gladstone government; after saying it
would not. was compelled to declare that
the reconquest of the Sudan was hence

Zen years passed away. The Mahdi ruled
at Khartum and gradually pushed his out
posts down the Nile valley almost to AS

English had learned much from the failure
of the campaign of 1855, and under kitche-

is in their hands. This result is triumph
for preparation, and foresight, and re-
