The Society Has an Enthusiastic
 Meeting

An enthusiastic meeting of the Carnival Society was held last night in the parlors of the Metropolitan hotel, and it was defi- nitely determined to carry out the plans adopted some weeks ago in regard to next years carnival
 The meeting was called to order by Pres ident Lesser, with fully fifty members present.
 A large number of new members were received into tine society and encouraging reports were made from the railroads, who promise to contribute liberally 10 the eel ebration.
 No subscriptions will be asked of the merchants, it being the plan of the society to raise the necessary funds from dues and railroad contributions. Only members will be allowed at the Rex ball, which will prove a strong incentive to join.
 The preliminary work will be taken up at once. and nothing will be left undone to rival all previous attempts of the society in celebrating the gay carnival season.

 to St. Louis
SENATOR JONES HEARD FROM

St. Louis, August 23.-The announcement of appointments on the executive, ways and means and printing committees of the na- tional democratic committee will be made in few days by ex-Governor Vim. J. Stone. who is acting chairman of that body. It Is pretty definitely settled that J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, will be made vice. chairman of the eeeutive committee.
 Governor Stone is at present sending let ters to members of the national committee notifying them of their appointments. As soon as he receives acceptances he will make public the complete list of appoint ments. The eecutive committee, of which Senator James Jones by reason is chair man, will consist of eleven members, the ways and means of seven and the printing committee of five members.
 T have received letter from Chairman Jones, who is in Europe" said Governor Stone today, "and the announcements of the committees vii be made in accordance with his suggestions, which are satisfactory to me.
 Some time ago I said that Judge John son, of Kansas, if he would consent to take it, would be as good a man as we couiu get TOT the Vlce-cnalrmanSnlp or the eecutive committee.
 ''The committees will be made public about September l. The appointments will be made both in accordance with the fitness of the men and their geographical location. We want to arrange it so that frequent meetings of the committee can be held con- venently.'
 In response to a question, Mir Stone said headquarters might be removed to St. Louis that was for the national committee to determine.

COTTON TESTED BY FIRE.
Experiments at Lowell Show the Advan. tage of American Roundlap Bales

The Roundlap bale of the American Cot ton Co.,, the Lowry bale of the Planters Compress company, and an ordinary square cotton bale were subjected to a thorough gaing fire test in Lowell, Mass, June by the Associated Factory Mutual Fire Insur- ance companies of the United States, for the purpose of determining the relative fire hazards of the several methods of baling cotton.
 Two small frame houses. exactly alike, and some distance apart had been erected on a vacant plot and the space beneath them filled with boards and cotton waste, over which ten gallons of coal oil were poured. In one building eight American Roundlap bales and one square bale were stored. In the other, eight Lowry bales and one square bale. The torch was ap- piled and the flames were permitted to burn one hour before being extinguished It was as hot blaze as cotton could well be subjected to. There was no test of the square bale, owing to the fact that when the superstructures collapsed, which they did few minutes after being fired, one of the square bales fell away from the flames and then the other was removed.
 It was evident and generally conceded that the American Roundlap bale stood the test much better than the Lowry bale. Nearly all the wires on the Lowry bales were burned off and the bales elongated from their original length of feet inches to feet and over. This exposed the cotton in the Lowry bales to the flames which were eating into the bales at many points when the fire was put out Two of the Lowry bales broke in two and were more badly burned than the others.
 The American bales stood up splendidly under the severe ordeal. They neither un- rolled nor extended In length, and only the outer surfaces exposed to the intense flames were burned. This latest test was only an- other test for the American Cotton conn pany's Roundlap bale.
 The cotton saved from the fire will be carefully picked over and the salvage re- claimed will be weighed
 It was stated by underwriters present at the Lowell fire test at a secret test re- gently made as to the ability of the two different styles of round bales to withstand tn action of water, after being submerged for some time the wires on the Lowry bales had burst and none of the Lowry cotton was recovered from the test. The American company bales came out intact and wet only on the exterior, which soon dried, leaving the cotton as good as ever.

Value of a Comma.

A Prussian school inspector APP
peared at the Office Of the burgomas-
ter of little town to ask him to ac-
company him on a tour of inspection
through the schools.
The burgomaster was out Of sorts,
and was heard to mutter to himself:
"What is this donkey here again
forY'
The inspector said nothing, but watt
ed his time, and with the unwilling
burgomaster set out on his tour.
At the first school he announced his
wish to see how well punctuation was
taught.
"Oh, never mind that" grumbled the
burgomaster. eve don't car, for
commas and such tribes"
But the inspector sent a boy to the
blackboard, and ordered him to write:
1.-THE burgomaster of r. says, the
inspector is a donkey"
Then he ordered him to transpose
the comma, placing it after r., and to
insert another one after inspector, and
the boy wrote:
1.-THE burgomaster of r., says the in
spector, is a donkey"
1t is probable that tl'o refractory Of
fetal gained new idea of the value of
commas and such trihes."

The Admiral Dewey.

OF the many things named for Adj
miral Dewey since the victory at Ma
Mia, it is probable that none is more
worthy of the distinction than the new
rose which has lately appeared. 1t is
Of light tea shade and is very frag-
rant. Its principal characteristic, and
the one which has enhanced its value
In the eyes of the florists, is its last
ing quality. An Admiral Dewey rose

ten days. The rose has been in the
market for a little over three months.
but the supply is yet very scarce. 1t
is grown by a florist at Bayside, l.. L..
who, it is said, paid $4,000 for the
original plant. The rose, in some re-
spects, closely resembles the Brides
maid rose, although of a much richer
color Another new rose on the mar
ket is the Liberty. 1t is an Importa-
ton from England, $4,000 being paid
for six plants by a florist, who saw a
chance for speculation. Although no
Liberty roses will be sold till next
year, those already exhibited have
won the admiration of florists, many
Of whom are Of the opinion that it is
the finest rose on the American mar
ket. It's claim for such distinction is
in its color. which is a genuine ruby
red. Every rose being almost an exact
match in color of the finest gem. No
other rose approaches it in this re-
spect, it is said. In size the Liberty
rose compares with the Bridesmaid,
and has a heavy, thick stem. One of

Gently exhibited a few Liberty roses
in his window, in another part of

son pinks. The exhibition drew an
enormous crowd, but the roses appar-
emily came in for n greater share of
admiration. 1t will be some time, it is
said, before many can be purchased,
as only 500 roses will be propagated
next season.

Yesterday noon, during the busiest

offices down Griswold street, near JEFF

conditions of pies, but mince there was
not.

The man smiled as though satisfied.
He slipped down from the tall STOOL
and as his feet struck the floor he ex-
claimed:
I'm duced glad of it."
The girl started. "Glad of it," she
repeated, "why, minee pie is the kind
you asked for. Why are you glad we
have none?"
WELL" said the man, as he drew
on his coat, you see, wanted a piece
of mince pie this morning badly.
