HT BEHR'S HTLL

Busting with enthusiasm and loud IN
their cheers for Horace Davis, the Repub-
licans of the Thirty-eighth District met
last night at Bears Hall, corner OF Post
and Fillmore streets, to ratify the Re-
publican municipal ticket.
The meeting brought together a large
number of members of the Western Addf-
ton Improvement Club. Without music
and the usual campaign variations, these
men attested their interest in campaign
issues and pledged themselves with loud
acclaim TO do all in their power for the
head of the ticket. Horace Davis, and
every other candidate on it.
The mention of the name Of the Repub-
ltcan candidate for Mayor was received
with cheers whenever uttered, and all ref
erence to his life and career in California
evoked similar applause Charles Jack
son, nominee for City and County Attor-
ney. was the first to speak l.. J. Car
penter, candidate for Police Judge, follow
ed, and he won recognition by trim
speech in which he promised to mete out
justice and not favors if elected. Judge
Joachimsen and others succeeded Car
penter, sustaining the interest of the audi
ence until Horace Davis himself arrived
The enthusiasm of the Thirty-eightt
District Republicans knew no bounds and
when the last speech of the evening was
completed all rose in their seats and
shouted three lusty cheers for Mr.. Davis
and the party.

Nagle. W. G. Johnson, William Watson,
Nathan Bibo and Ralph Hathorn.
Mr.. Davis was, of course, the star at
traction, and received a genuine ovation
when he arose to address the big gather
ing He made a telling speech, in the
course of which he declared with con-
vincing emphasis that he had made no
pledges or promises to any man, and
that If elected Mayor of San Francisco
he would go into office entirely untram-
meled and free to follow his own counsel

AGAIN CRITICALLY ILL

a serious turn last night. Mr.. Tuttle was
kept busy replying to kilograms Of in
quiry during the day.
A. A. Wilson, Mr.. Hobart's lifelong
friend and law partner, said that he did
not think Mr. Hobart would. die tonight
but that he feared that the Vice President
had not long to live. He refused to enter
into details relative to the malady from
which the patient suffered, but his idea
was that it was necessarily fatal, al
though not Immediately so.
DR.. Newton called at the Hobart resi-
dence tonight at 6 o'clock and remained
but a short time. Just before he left Mr.
Hobart fell asleep. 1t was not necessary
to administer drugs and Dr. Newton said
the sleep was natural and refreshing.
Mr.. Hobart had not been out of his
house in two weeks and in consequence
of his illness is said to be very feeble.
At 10:30 o'clock tonight word came
from the sick room Of the Vice President
that Mr.. Hobart was conscious and had
recognized those around him. few
minutes later he was asleep and resting
quietly. DR.. Newton, who visited him at
II p m, said that his condition was ap-
parentiy improved. Only the immediate
members of the family and the nurse
were at the Hobart house at the time
DR.. Newton says that he has no fear of
the death of the distinguished sufferer to-
night.

Tor Shade and Sun.

The editor Of Parks Floral Maya
zine gives the following list. Perhaps
the Lily of the Valley would not grow
in Florida but the rest will:
For a dense shade under trees or
between buildings use the old-fashion-
ed Myrtle or Periwinkle, Vinca major,
and Lily of the Valley. These do not
mind lack of sunshine or soil impover-
ishment caused by trees. For a hot,
sunny exposure use Century plants,
Cactuses and succulents of various
kinds. Portulaca revels in sunshine
and makes a gorgeous bed. Petunias,
Phlox Drummondi, Zlnnias and Vinca
rosea thrive and bloom we'll in a sun
ny bed if kept we'll watered, and they
will also endure a season of moderate
drouth. All of these Towering plants
can be raised from seeds. The others
should be obtained as small plants.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-07-12
Why?

why cultivate Towering and orna-
mental plants Does it pay? Yes, most
emphatically.
There are a few men with such per-
verified natures that they grudge their
wives even a few square yards of
soil for flower garden. They would
prefer to see cabbage patch in the
front yard rather than a flower bed.
With those whose perceptive faculties
are so warped it is simply waste of
time to argue.
There is ample compensation in the
cultivation of flowers and ornamental
plants even though not a single cents
worth is ever sold.
The acquisition of money is not, or
ought not to be, the chief end of our
existence True, since the destruction
of the orange industry by the freeze
of 1895, it has been a constant strug-
gle, to get money enough for the bare
necessities of life. Yet even in such
cases it is better to relax little Oc-
casionally to devote little time to rec
reation and the effort to make our sur
roundings more attractive. The bow
that is always bent, will lose its elias
ticity and become worthless.

1t is also fact that there may be

a house surrounded with beautiful
climbing vines and yard we'll set

one with nothing in sight but bare
