LECTURE AT NEW CENTURY CLUB.

DIR. s. G. Schumacher Ct West Chester
lectured Monday afternoon on 1.-THE
Meaning of Flower" He said "Man
is apt to think that the earth is made
for his dwelling place, the flowers
created for his pleasure, that the bios
som that lis born to blush unseen,
wastes its sweetness on the desert air, ,
If there is no one, there to pluck it.
But there is o purpose back of every
flower; Its beauty and fragrance have
little reference to us, but exist for its
own perpetuation and improvement. I"
He showed the structure of ticwer
in all its ninutia and proved its Won
derful adaptation to these ends, and
told how the bee in search of honey for
himself carries the pollen from flower
to flower, like an unconscious Provi-
dence. On one outing from his hive he
never goes 10 flowers of different
kind, but If he begins on clover, visits
only clever heads until, laden with
honey and surplus pollen he returns to
the hive and before he sallies forth
again. when he may visit some other
kind of flower an attendant bee at the
entrance scrapes and brushes of all the
pollen, which, said DIR. Schmuoker,
sis the Mellen's Food of the bee
babies. "
Nature sometimes has wastefui
mood, and makes more than can pos
sibly live and thrive. Take the Della
ware shad supply: If all the eggs
brought up the Delaware we've to live
and grow the river would be solid with
them. But the little weak ones are
gobbled up, or chilled to death and
only the vigorous ones survive, SO the
race holds its own and improves. Some
years ago the pollen Of the North Caro-
lima pines, carried by stiong winds,
made golden our streets and fields,
which was great waste. What people
miss of the full beauty of the spring
who have not learned to sec the trees in
flower; not only the fruit trees, but
the maple blossoms, the catkins of the
willow and Poplar, the long green
staminate flowers of the walnut tree.

THE MARCH TO PRETORIA
Likely to Begin the Latter Part Of This
Week or the First Of Next Week.
BRITISH FORCES NUMBER 10000
Will Proba bly, Advance In Par
alIeI Columns.
GEN. BULLER'S PART NOT YET KNOWN

London, Eng, April 17.-At last,
Lord Roberts seems to be on the eve
of making his main advance toward
Pretoria. Unless all the usually rellia.
BILE sources of information and all the
indications smuggled past the censor
are ut fault, the British army within
few days will march northward. After
many premature and unfounded reports
that have purported to tell of this move
there is naturally, even in the best in
formed quarters, considerable hesitancy
in definitely settling on the day Lord
Roberts is likely to leave Bloemfontein,
but there is a settled impression that
it will occur either at the end of this
week or the beginning of next week.
The long, weary wait in the Orange
Free State capital has apparently
effected a much needed rehabilitation.
The critics agree in the suppositioI
that the advance will be made in
parallel columns, with a broad front
west of the railroad, the Third and
Eighth divisions sweeping nofthward
to the extreme Northwest, the entire
force amounting to 70, 600 men. Exactly
what part Gen. Butler will take is still
a secret which no one is able to probe.
From the seat of war, there is sig
nificant silence From The Hague,
ccmes the news that the Boer delegates
refuse to make public the object of
their mission. They hope to be received
by Queen Wilhelmina, but nothing
in this direction has yet been decided
upon,

If faint, and when raised was found to

and was buried by the company he
commanded, with military honors.

WANT PAVEMENT EXTENDED.

Ninth Ward People Petition Street and
Sewer Directors Relative to Upper Mar
ket Street.
Prince A. Mousloy, member of City
Council from the Ninth ward, appeared
before tho Directors OF the Street and
Sewer Department, at their meeting
Tuesday and tpresented petition
signed by large number of his con-
stituents, asking that the pavement on
Market street be extended from VAN
dever avenue to Twenty-fourth. He also
addressed the heard and said the por-
tion OF the street referred to is in ex-
ceedingly bad condition, being muddy
in wet weather and dusty IN dry
weather. President Simmons said IL
the board found 1t could do anything
in tho matter it would pave to Twenty
third street, but could not go to
Twenty fourth at this time, as the
street between Twenty third and
Twenty fourth is above grade.
Complaint having been made about
some new awnings and signs which
have been erected In violation OF law,
the secretary was instructed to have
the supervisors call the owners atten-
tion to the matter and see that the law
is enforced.
An order for $500 was drawn in favor
OF the W. y. 0elston Co. of New York,
and Paterson, to Fay for the new
sweeper. The company is to take the
old sweeper as part pay.
William ~. White, engineer of the
steam roller, asked that his salary be
increased to sT5 per month. Action on
tho matter was deferred
William Il. Linton was granted per-
mission to withdraw his application for
the removal Of West Twenty. second
street from the city map. Opposition
had developed, hence this action. A
movement is now on foot to request the
depaI tment that The street be opened
and graded, but that is not likely to be
done for some time
The board having sent letter re-
Gently to the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road TO-. asking that the work on the
Fourth street bridge be pushed and
designating Sixth street as the place
for bridge to be built this year, a
letter was received from f. g. Undor-
wood, general manager of the company,
stating that the company will proceed
with the work and keep within the
lines Of its contract. The contract calls
for the erection of one bridge each yeaI.
The letter was filed, as was also one
from City Council, which set forth that
as the clerk CT the market is an officer
of Council, he will be expected to obey
that body, although neither Council
nor the clerk desiie tc interfere with
the plans of the department. The clerk
of the market matter was not ntioned
urther, and President Simmons told a
reporter of The Gazette that nothing
would be done unit legal opinion had
been received.
The Delaware & Atlantic Telegraph
and Telephone Go. was granted per-
mission to erect POLES on Adams street
between Tenth and Eleventh and Tenth
between Adams and Trenton Place.
The weekly payroll, 1886. 60, was

TAX ON EXPRESS PACKAGES.

Washington, April l6.-The Supreme
Court, to-day, decided the cases in
volving the stamp tax as it applies to
express packages, the question involved
being whether the shipper or carrier
shall pay the stamp charge on packages.
The opinion was handed down by
Justice White, and was favorable to
the express companies.
There were two cases before the court
involving the question at issue, hut tho
opinion was based uIon the. case of the
American Express Go. vs., Attorney
General Maynard of the State Of Michi-!
gan. The cases came to the Supreme
Court from the decIson Of the State
Supreme Court of Michigan, which
decision was adverse to the claims of
the express companies. The opinion to-
day reversed this opinion. 5.

Although it is not likely that Mayor
Fabey will announce his new Board Of
Health, which goes into office on May
1st, much before that time, IL in ad-
vance at all, it is said there is strong
probability of his appointing DIR.
Charles M. Almond, George B. Ward
and Frederick O. Mammele. Another
physician is to be appointed, but no
intimation has 6een received from any
source that can be regarded as authori-
tative as TO whom he will be,although it
has been rumored that DIR. William P.
Miller will most likely be selected. As
a matter OF fact, the mayor is nom
committal and it cannot be learned from
him who he has In mind. Some of his
friends. however. believe they can fore
cast the appointments pretty accurately,
and it was from this source that the
intimation was received. Should the
mayor make his selection as limited
above, the board viii he composed as
follows, with the addition of physician
whose name cannot be learned at this
time:
Drs. M. J. Hughes and Charles NJ.
Almond, George b. Ward, Frederick
@. Mammele and George III. Bough-
man. DIR. Hughes and Mr.. Boughman
are ex -ofiicio members. the former being
port physician and tho latter chief of

street; Mr.. Ward at the northeast corner
of Thirteenth and King streets; Mr..
Mammele at No. 1902 West Eighth

Monroe street. DR.. Miller conducts a
drug store at Eighth and Poplar streets.
The law sets forth that the board
shall be composed of the port physician,
two other physicians, one practical
plumber, one general business man and
the chief of the City Engineering De-
partment. Mr.. Ward is the plumber
and is in business at No. 1908 Market
