FUNERAL FLOWER TRADE.
Is DrummeS Up by an Enter
prising Pennsylvania.

Travelling men who pass through
East Pennsylvania cities when looking
over the local newspapers are frequent
ly surprised at the quantity of flowers
which are mentioned in the published
accounts of funerals of people not in
public life. In many of the cities the
business of drumming up the funeral
flower trade is quite scientifically done.
A funeral flower trade drummer told
the other day of his mode of operations,
says the New York Sun.
"To get early information of deaths
1 stand in with the obituary reporters
of the daily papers. They cover all the
undertakers in the town. 1 get all the
deaths up to two p. m. and then get out
to. business. OF course, in these busy
days most people haven't time to go to
greenhouses for flowers. Hundreds OF
people are willing to send some dead
friend a nice token Of remembrance,
but many don't think of it, and the
others haven't the time. Now, l make
it a business to do all that for them.
When 1 hear of man dying get the
names of his near relatives, lodge asso-
ciates, business connections, if any, etc.
1 have sample books Of bouquets,
crosses, crescents, anchors, stars,
siclSles, barps, Tyres, hearts, gates ajar,
doves, sheaves of wheat, clusters of
lilies, wheels with broken spol1es, pill
lows, pedestals and many other set
pieces. have price lists of these and
of cut flowers, roses at so much per
dozen-in fact, anything people are
likely to want. call on the friends of
the dead person, ask If they wish to
order anything and promise to deliver
the goods on the morning of the day
of the funeral, fresh and handsome,
with their cards attached, all In proper
and satisfactory shape.
~ make out a complete list of the
offerings, with full description OF
fcwers. with names of flowers correctly
spelled, all typewriter, and give it to
the reporters. Then my customers see
their names in the papers as having
kindly sent in beautiful floral dona-
tion, so when l call next day to collect
my bill they cheerfully pay. / never
lose ANYTHING"

The Evening journal usually pays
no attention to anonymous commum-
cations, but one was received at this
office yesterday of such peculiar inn
port THAT It was not re.sgated to the
waste basket. The writer inclosed the
following dispatch, clipped from a
Philadelphia paper of yesterday:
Doylestown, Pa, June 6.-The March
term of the Bucks County Criminal
Court, opening this morning, was ter
minated suddenly by the quashing of
the entire array of jurors in the same
manner as was recently done in Mont
gomery county, because they were Sc
lected on account OF political affil-
iations. II was clearly shown that the
names placed in the wheel were those
Of party men, chosen as such last De
cember by the retiring jury commits
sioners, In spite Of a warning given last
Fall by Judge Yerkes of the danger OF
such practice.
Them he goes on to say that this
matter should be called to the atten-
tion OF 1.-THE United States officials here.
He states that less THAN year ago by
order Of Judge Bradford, the jury
wheel was cleaned out and newly filled
by good men. Now without amy order
the wheel has been cleaned out and
other NAMES placed therein ait the re-
quest of United States District AttOr-
ney Vandegrift. The communication
denOunces this ais an outrage in view
of The pending cases. The communi-
cation has been handed to United
States Attorney Vandegrirt, where the
writer thereof may apply for the in
formation he seeks.

WHICH IS WHICH?

The law provides THAT The registra-
tion officers shall be selected from lists
of names presented by ythetwo principal
political PARTIES Of the state. That is
The law, and Governor TunneM and
the State Department. Of Elections must
observe It and adhere stnctly TO its
provisions.
The first thing for them to deter
mine liz, which are the two principal
political PARTIES? That the. Democratic
party Is one Of Them Mo person can or
win deny; but when II comes to the
other either the Regular Republicans
or Union Republicans must be recog-
n1zed Both OF them cannot be rec1g-
nized, for they are two regularly or
Ranized parties. The Regulars prob
ably recognize this condition, for they
intend to certify their lists OF officers
90 the Department of Elections and to
THE governor, the certlfcationi covering
all three COMMITTEES. The Union Republi-
AAAAo MAAA eAAAJ ANAlAA1 ~ AoiANo AAA AANlNl
and Sussex counties. The principal po-
litical party in the state other than The
Democratic organization, most certain
ly cannot be THE Regular Republican
party in New Castle county and the
Union Republican party in Kent and
Sussex counties. Neither can the gov
ernor and Department of Eiecticns vio-
late the oath OF Office by recognizing
both OF them and permitting them to
make a division OF the officers. That
Is out OF the question. One OF the Re
publican parties must be recognized in
ail three counties, and Il is only ques-
tion to determine which it shall be. II
the Regulars are recognized, only Reg
ulaIs who are known to he Regulars
should be appointed; and, II AddlclSs-
ites are recognized, none but men who
are known to be Addicksites should be
appointed.
1t is about time for the two to scram-
BILE for recognition

THE sENArIE REcEpEp.

Friends OF free delivery Of mails in
rural sections and OF quick and fire.
qucnt delivery Of mails in cities will be
gratifed by the news which comes from
Washington.
The conference report on The Post
Office Appropriation bin as reported to
the Senate yesterday and agreed to by
that body carries a provision for the
appropriation OF s15O,OOO for rural free
delivery. This is a compromise, the
House having Appropriated 100000
and the Senate having refused to make
any appropriation. The agreement also
includes the Senate amendment for a
joint committee of The two houses to
investigate the question Of excessive
charges by railroad companies for mail
transportation.
The Senate receded from its amend
ment reducing The total appropriation
for pay Of retter-carrlers from $4,000,
900 to $4,000 600, restoring the House
figures, and also from it's amendment
providing against more than four de-
liverles daily in any city. The tenn
porary provision for post offices at
military camps during tine war was re-
tanned. The amendment prohibiting
the letting OF contracts 10 sub-cOntrac.
tors was eliminated, as was THAT max
ing It a misdemeanor for railroad com.
panies TO refuse to carry the United
States mails.

Costly Cool nusIners.

A short time ago newspaper man
sat in the Office Of a prominent river
coal operator, talking about current
events. A messenger entered and
handed the operator a telegram. He
continued the conversation with the re-
porter while he leisurely perused the
contents of the message. The news
paper man did not notice any change in
the operators demeanor. and inquired
IL there was an item Of news in the
message. "Oh, yes" said the operator,
handing the reporter the message,
which read that q certain boat owned
by this operators had lost nearly all her
tow by sinking it In the Mississippi
river. The reporter asked about how
much the loss would be. and the answer
was: about $4,000" The operator
resumed his conversation as though
nothing had happened. It was after
ward learned that the receiving Of such
reports is a matter OF such frequent
occurrence in the coal business. Some
men would have tainted at such news,
but the river coal business is a great
deal of a hazard, and one must have
the spirit of the gambler to engage in it.
