FLOWERS FOR EASTER DAY.

leus, Marguerites and Roses.
Although the spring is backward"
there will be no lack Of Easter flowers
to-day. OF course, there will not be as
many as there have been at some Casters
The festival is earlier than it was last
year, and the gardens have not yet put
on their flower attire.
The florists have had their usual rush
during the last few days and their books
yesterday were filed with Easter orders.
Easter is essentially an artistic holiday,
and pre-eminently a day of flowers. Moth
ing is SO beautiful as the great spring
miracle, the budding of life and bloom
out of the bare, brown branches that
seemed like so many dead things during
winter. Every bright spring day now the
crowds of promenaders, men and women,
big and little, show a responsiveness to
the reawakening of the earth, and flor
lists windows and sidewalks give promise
OF the abundance of flowers soon to be-
Preparations for Easter the crown of
the flower season, are begun by the for
lists many weeks before the day actually
arrives
What flowers are the peoples favorites ?
First and foremost, the lily, Casters sym
bolic flower. Thousands of people who
buy and enjoy the Bermuda lilies have
little idea what an extensive business the
propagation of these lovely spring flow
ers has become. The bulbs are shipped
from Bermuda in great quantities during
the autumn and winter and placed in
greenhouses to be developed into the love-
ly plant which has become symbolic OF
Easter
The enormous quantities Of Easter lilies
produced happily places a plant within
the reach of the most modest purse, so
that hundreds of these jewel-like flowers
will shed their purity and beauty in the
humblest of homes.
Easter lilies, however, are not the only
flowers of Eastertide. Perhaps the most
popular flower after the lily is the azalea
The azaleas come in the double and sin
gle varieties, and in colors that deepen
from snowy white through the most deli
cate pinks to a vivid rose and deep GRIM
son.
Roses will be depended upon largely this
Easter, while hes-of- the-valley, hyac-
inths and marguerites, which appear for
the first time this spring, are all popular
Easter favorites
Easter being the queen festival of Chris
tianity, flowers are a chosen medium for
the expression of phlanthropic inclina-
tons at this season. You have the repu-
tation Of being a good-natured, well-mean-
ing man; or you are a kind-hearted wo.
man. Then remember the children in the
hospitals, who cannot share in the sun
shine and spring skies of Easter day; and
the grown-plp sick also, for you never saw
man or woman who was too old to APP
preciate a flower; and the dear people in
the old folks homes, who have few Eas-
ters yet to come, and in remembering
them,
AT hast a heavenly hand
Give thee! Give thee!
Lilies of eternal peace.

How Visiting Companies VIII BE
i4h Cared for at BuffalO.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry and the
Savannah Cadets have been discussing a
trip to Buffalo to take in the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition. The discussion has lag
sad somewhat of late, however, because
Of the lack of definite information as TO
iust what the exposition company would
do for the visiting troops. This informa-
ton has been conveyed in a letter to an
officer of one of the companies from Maj.
Charles ]. Wolfe, who is in charge of the
military bureau.
If is the intention of the exposition
company to maintain a permanent camp
within the exposition grounds for the ac-
commodation of about 200 men at one
time. This camp will be supplied with
tents, foored cots buckets, basins, tin
cups, light, water and sinks. For these
no charge will be made. Visiting organi-
cations must furnish their own blankets
and subsistence. There will be no ac-
commodation for cooking in this camp,
but satisfactory arrangements can no
doubt be made with restaurants on the
grounds at reasonable rates. 1t is ex-
pected that organizations taking advantage
of these camp privileges will at such
times as may be agreed to beforehand
give military exhibitions without charge
in the Stadium. Bands in uniform Will
be admitted to the grounds free.
Organizations using this camp will pay
one general admission per man when they
enter the grounds, and must be governed
by the rules and regulations laid down
by the exposition company. On account
of the large number of organizations now
applying for camp facilities, the use of
this camp will be limited to not exceed
ing six days for any one organization.
A camp for the use of large bodies of
troops will be established outside of the
grounds. Information in regard to the
same will be furnished on application to
the military bureau.
The railroads have offered a rate for
the round trip of about $23 man. 1t is
thought that the expense above that
that amount would not be great.
If enough members cannot be
secured in each command to take the
trip Independently, it has been suggested
that they combine. The Cadets and the
oslethorpes are in the same battalion in
the First Infantry. and have been on
most excellent terms The suggestion has
been well received and 1t is not improb-
able that the "Trip if so taken, will be I'M
der those conditions. 1t is probable that
Inc matter will be brought before the
cotnmands at their meetings tomorrow

When the City Council meets again
there will probably be a report subruittea
by the special committee appointed some
months ago by the last Council to invest,-
gate the claims made by the Oglethorpe
investment Company for compensation
Tor lands used by the city in opening
streets In Col!insville. The company also
wants to fix compensation for lands that
are further desired by the city for open
ing more streets.
II was thought probable that a report
would be made by the committee at the
last meeting of Council, but an answer
from the Ogiethorpe Investment Com
pany. to which the proposition Of the city
was made, could not be secured In time.
President j. s. Collins Of the company
said after the proposition had been com
municated TO him that IL was not in rea-
son TO expect .he directors would be sat-
ished with II.

mittee was held In the Mayors once

In the Superior Court yesterday morn
ing Judge Falligant started to hear the
case of Hays Naylor and Others against

from a petition for injunction, filed by
the plaintiffs against the county.
The county wants to build some later

Ogeechee road, south of the city. The

plaintiff and they claim would cause
great injury to their property. 1t soon

announced that he would postpone the
hearing until the questions of fact could
be determined by a jury

FAIR DIRECTORS MEET.
Question of site May Be Settled
This Afternoon.

meeting of the directors of the Sa-
vannah Fair Association has been called
by President George w. Owens for this
afternoon at O'Clock, when the report
of the Site Committee will be received.
The question of a site, it is expected, will
then be settled.
1t remains to be seen for which tract
the directors will decide. The Screven
tract is out of the question, members
of the committee say, but there is still a
chance for display of fine judgment TO
determine between the respective merits
of the Ten Brock and the Dale avenue
property.
A full and complete report will be made
by the committee. Every phase of the
question. the members believe, has been
entered into and all the information tina t
they were asked for and that could pos
sibly be discovered as bearing upon the
advantages of the tracts offered has been
secured. No recommendation will be
made by the committee, as its instruc-
tions were only to get information.
A final meeting was held by the COM
mittee last night. The matter of right
of-way for a Plant System spur to the
Dale avenue tract was under considera-
ton. 1t was announced after the meeting
that right-of-way had been adjusted. The
proposed route along Thirty-ninth street
was found impracticable, because it would
have necessitated running through houses
in rounding a curve. The track would go
out Forty-first street instead.

REGISTRARS WORK COMPLETE
Difference of Opinion ms to Who
should Go on List.

TO on
The registrars have finished purging the
list of registered voters in the Fifth Dis
tridt and the finishing touches will be put
on by Clerk Sullivan this morning. The
list is to be used at the election at Thun-
derbolt Saturday, when besides munic-
ipal ticket a magistrate will be elected.
The list completed by the board of regis
trars is intended for use in the latter
election. Only free-holders at Thunderbolt
are eligible to vote for a mayor and al
dermen.
1t appears that Registrars William
Pease and William Hayes could not agree
at the first session of the board and Reg
istrar ]. Robert Dreamer had 40 be called
in. MIR. Creamer had thought that all
plans had been agreed upon and was sur
prised when he learned that there had
been hitch There was a difference of
opinion as to whether persons who re-
Gently moved in the district should be per-
mitted to vote. Registrar Dreamer
thought that they should, and this set
tied the controversy 1t was decided that
all persons who have recently registered
in that district or who have been living
there for thirty days should be placed on
the list of qualified voters.
The candidates for ma gistrate are Ozie
Butler and Thomas w. Sheckles. Accord
ing to Registrar Creamer the supporters
of Sheckles were opposed to placing re-
cent arrivals in the district on the list
In all, twenty names were added, four
teen of that number having only
quite recently moved in the Fifth, but
who have registered in other districts.

ArmOry nv FrOebeI Circle.

/ Froebel Circle of Kings Daughters, gave
a May pole dance on the lawn at the Reg
| mental Armory yesterday afternoon. 1t
was attended by large number of chill
dren, and also by many grown folk. The
children played games until about
o'clock, when some twenty-odd tots, each
holding II colored streamer, began their
dance around the May pole. They were
all gala attire, and each girl wore a May
Day wreath. After the dance little Katie
Osborne was chosen queen, and Watson
Lindsay, King. They were enthroned
and crowned, and the queen was given
golden scepter with which she chose her
maids-in- waiting and her cavaliers.
This ceremony ended, the may pole was
again surrounded this time by larger
misses, who too, went around to the in
spring music, but in more intricate fig
ures than had the smaller children. For
their queen they chose Miss Eleanor Shot
ter and for her consort, Master Arthur
Hayward who, also, were enthorned and
crowned.
This closed the games and the children
