lust to give them an idea what the
flower We like. OF course the flowers
could not be shown to the best advant-
age on account the distance and the
difference in climcte. Here is what the
Csrnation Society, in its report. said
about the NC er:
Perhaps the most extraordinary
feature of this exhibition was the
arrival of a large case of blooms
in excellent condition from John
H Sievers of San Francisco. Not
only did the flowers arrive in excel
lent condition for the opening day
(the fourth after picking), but some
samples of Hannah Hobert among
the dozen others represented in the
collection, had flowers of deep
pink shade and larger and finer
than anything we remember to
have seen in the way or carna-
tions.
The Boston carnation measured three
and one-half inches and the San Fran
cisco carnation measured four and one
half inches.
Why, then, did not the San Francisco
carnation receive the first place?
Mr. Sievers explai ed it this way:
"It is because the istance from San
Francisco to where the exhibition was
held made it impossible for us to enter
the competition and comply with the
rules of the society. Our flowers had
to be cut before maturity to travel the
four and one-half days. 1t is impos-
sible to carry blooming plants such a
distance and keep them in good con-
dition. The rules of the society re-
quire fifty flower cut and blooming
plants. We could not do it.
But we shall be in the coming ex-
hibition in Philadelphia next month
The secretary liked the looks of our
flowers which 1 sent to Chicago last
year. He has taken our cuttings of
ten varieties and grown them for us in
the East"

Inventor John LOftinE Made n For
tune From 1t 200 Years Ago.
There is rich family named Loft
ing in England, said dealer in fancy
articles. "the fortune of whose house
was found by so apparently insignii-
cant littl thing as the thimble.
1.-The first thimbles seen in England
were made in London less than 900
years ago by metal worker named
John Lofting.
1.-The usefulness Of the article recon-
mended it at once to all who used the
needle, and Lofting acquired large
fortune and ,reat fame in the manufac
ture of the new accessory to the reedle
worker s art.
"The implement was then called the
thumb bell and was worn on the thumb.
1.-THE clumsy mode of utilizing it
was soon changed, but when and why
the name thimble was given the article
do not appear.
"Lofting's thimbles, and. in fact, all
thimbles, were made of either iron or
brass, and specimens of them extant,
many of which are preserved as heir
looms. are crude and clumsy looking
things compared with the commonest
thimbles of today, although their cost
was many times as much.
"Today gold, silver iron, ivory,
steel, sometimes glass and even pearl
and celluloid are utilized in making
thimbles. Since art needlework became
fashionable thimbles of elaborate work
manship and great value, to accompany
the rich and costly implements and ma
terials wealthy needleworkers affect,
have found large sale.
"Solid gold thimbles, carved and fire.
quently set with diamonds, have been
found none too good for some people.
Thimbles made to order, with the mono
gram or initials of the person for whom
they are intended set in precious stones,
are not by any means unknown. -

with crime by Captain Price. Mr.. Moss
exclaimed:
II demand that this man be excluded
from any further participation in this

Chairman Mazet warned DR.. O'Sulli-
van that il he repeated his statement he
would be excluded from the room. Then
Assemblyman Hoffman broke in with a
protest against Mr.. Moss summing up at
this time. The chairman finally restored

plete his statement. in which he urged
that witnesses be compelled to respect

to gambling house on West Thirty

HE ATE THE SOAP.
Garland Would Have Swallowed 1t If
1t Had killed Him.

The late Augustus II. Garland who
was attorney general under President
Cleveland, was very fond Of practical
jokes and e'ring his term of service in
the senate frequently turned the laugh
ON his colleagues. Senators Voorhees,
and Vest, with whom he was very
friendly, finally determined to turn the
tables. Mr.. Garland had habit, like
Voorhees,, OF munching candy, and Vest
and Voorhees, made it up between them
to take advantage of his fondness for
sweets to pli y their trick. They had
some tempting looking chocolate cara
mels prepared with the interior filled
with brown soap. These they took to
the senate chamber and Voorhees, placed
them on his desk. The lid being off
when Mr.. Garland sauntered down the
aisle he noticed them at once.
"What have you there, DAM" he in
quired
Voorhees, looked up caelessly from
his writing and responded: "Caramels.
Help yourself.
Garland needed no second invitation
and, picking mp two or three, plac d
one in his mouth. Steadily he chewed
away, his face betraying no sign Of the
conflict within him. This alarmed
Voorhees,, who went to Vests desk and
said:
He's eating them, Vest What shall
we do? The stuff will kill him sure!"
Senator Vest replied that it could do
no more than make him sick. Garland
swallowed the stuff, although he was
foaming at the mouth from the soap
suds. He related the incident afterward
with great gusto and said he would
have swallowed it if it had killed him
