HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
REORGANIZED UNDER FLOURISH-
 ING CONNEXIONS.

Eli Whitney Elected President and
 Other Prominent New Haven Men on
 the List of Oficers-Ilistory of the Associatton.
 The New Haven Horticultural society was again reorganized last night and from the interest shown and the ex cellent choice in the selection of off, cers, the society will doubtless be put on a firm basis and should exist at least a number of years. The meeting was held in Champions foyer and was largely attended.
 All the leading florists and wholesale dealers were represented and a mem bership of about forty was the result of the meeting. John Doughty was elected temporary chairman and Rob- ert Vietch, jr., secretary of the meet ing. The first business was the election of officers. The election resulted as follows: President Eli Whitney; vice presidents, Henry w. Farnam, J. E. Hubinger, Joel N. Sperry, Frank K. Monson, N. w. Kendall, Felix Chilling worth, Dr. A. w. Evans, Henry F. English, Professor W. P. Britton and Professor w. H. Brewer; secretary, Robert Vietch jr.; treasurer, Stephen H. Moore; board of managers, John N. Champion, chairman, Edward J. Moore, E. F. Coe, John H. Slocumbe, David Kydd, Arthur N. Farnham, Robert Pat ton, William J. Rowe, John Doughty, Robert Pryde, Robert Johnston, Will liam Terrier and William Gardner. This board was given power to appoint other managers from other towns in the county
 The election of the board of finance was postponed until the next meeting which is called for Monday evening, May 21 at the same time and place.
 Secretary Veitch had with him the same old printed matter that belonged to the old society and it was voted to use as much of it as possible in the business of the present organization.
 The society voted to hold an exhibi- tion of strawberries and roses some time in June and also passed a vote of thanks to MT Champion for the use of his foyer for meeting place.
 The New Haven County Horticultural society has had very queer history. It was originally formed in 1882 and ex- isted in a flourishing condition until 1865, when it died peaceful death. In 1879 it was again put on it's feet and lived until 1881 and since then up to last night there has been no attempt to reorganize the society.

GRAY WOLVES AT PETS.

Wyoming Man Finds Them Affec-
 tionate and Tractable.
 Gray wolves are the most favored do- nestle pets on the ranch of A. J. Both- well on the Sweetwater river, Wyo. The children romp with them and have taught them many of the amusing tricks that earn applause in denser cen- ters of civilization when performed by French poodles. There is never thought of fear in the relationship.
 These wolves were captured as pups year ago. They were only two weeks old and their blue eyes had not long been open. From the snug den in which their wise old mamma was be- ginning their education they were dug out by human hands and carried off to the ranch.
 From the very first these wild found- lings exhibited lovable qualities. They repair caresses and kind words with ev cry demonstration of gratitude and gamboled with their captors in a way that was irresistible
 Like more civilized puppies, they had tendency to chew shoes and slippers, drag tabecloths from their appointed placed. and dig holes in treasured flow CT beds but they never attempted to bite their friends.
 As they grew bigger playground was fenced in for them with stout wire netting. There to this day they disport themselves quite contented in captivi- ty so long as the children of the ranch frequently go in to play with them and teach them new tricks. They are grown up wolves now, with all the of their species. They have the gleaming eyes, the great fangs the blood red tongues the speed and activ- fly that have aroused the horror of

SOME POLITICAL WARNINGS.

Senator Hanna has said that he
would make the passage of the Ship
Subsidy bill his chief business in the
present session of Congress.
This scheme has the opposition of a
large number Of the leading Republi.

the New York Times and the Chicago
Tribune. The Tribune says the bill
is peculiarly iniquitous," and 1t pre-.
diets disaster to the Administration

two years hence II the bill is passed.
"The persons who wish to pass this
BILL" says ~the Tribune. may be no
more amenable to reason than were
tho persons responsible for the dlsas,
trous tariff legislation Of 1890. There
must be some Republican Congress-
men, however. who are not so blind
as to be unable to see that the pass.

would be highly inexpedlent 1t
would not be approved of by the
country. The legislation would react
on the party responsible for 1t, ms did
