elated and the only thing that his pleasure is

that no sacrifice Is too great for these instruments
for by disposing of them he can make a much bet

fore certain Christmas, received the only
four roses'of the variety known as Jacuue-
minot that were offered in the city, and
found customer for them at $50 or s15
apiece, eight times the value of their
weight in gold. Some idea of the magni-
tude of the New York flower trade NAV be
obtained from the costliness of the floral
decorations on certain notable occasions A
mllllon dollars is spent every year In New
YORK on wedding flowers alone. To deco
rate church like st. Bartholomew's even

STREET CAR ETIQUETTE.
Germany Cannot Teach America Much
1t Would SEEM

Berlin Letter in the Chicago Record Herald.
The street car companies here sell month
ly tickets, good for six months or a year,
which entitle the holder whose photograph
appears on one side of a card protected by
thin sheet of isinglass, to ride as often
and as far he likes upon presenting the
same to the conductors. The regular rate
Is - marks, or 1913 a month, which is
good for the entire system and the charge
for longer period is a multiple of that
amount. Limited tickets good for a single
line, are sold for marks, or 1.5O month,
for one month or for a year. The limited
tickets are found convenient by business
men, school children, students factory on
eratlVeS and others who travel daily over
the same route to and from their homes
Whlle the full ticket is useful for messen-
gers, errand boys, delivery clerks and others
who are likely to be sent in different direc-
tons daily. The holder of one of these
tickets can ride all day if he likes changing
from one line to another at his pleasure
because a single company controls the en-
tire system on one side of the city and the
municipal government owns all the tracks
on the other side
In the morning, when everybody Is going
down town. or in the evening when thew
are returning from business, street car con-
ductorS take in very little cash Nearly
everybody pulls season ticket on them A
condltlon attached to these tickets REQUIRES
the holder to surrender his seat If ii is
needed for cash passenger, but the rule is
not often enforced, except in the case of
children. L have seen a conductor vanl5 a
small boy out of his seat, but he never
would think of disturbing an adult AS the
law PROMPTS street car conductors from en-
tertalnlng more passengers than they have
places for, the rule about season tickets is
not often enforced
Street car etiquette in Germany Is quite
dlnerent from that of the United States
ana rev people ever saw a German offer
his seat to a woman. On the contrary
when all the seats are occupied, that people
on the platform may have the benefit of
vacancies that occur inside in regular order

The other day, while sitting near the door
IN Ih1ergarten car, breathless old wo-
man, with arms full of bundles, climbed
upon the platform. l arose and beckoned
her to take my seat, but before she could
do so a well-dreSSed brute pushed in ahead
arm and motioned to the woman but he
shook his head. 1 told him that he ought
to be ashamed of himself, at which he
smiled sarcastically, and a small bow on
the platform snickered. The old woman
blockaded the aisle all this time in a sort
OF daze, until the conductor ordered her
back to the platform, for people are yer
boten' to stand in the aisles When / fol-
lowed her outside a man who had watched

 Hartford, April 17-A conference of the small town delegates, opposed to the town equality plan of representa- ticn. was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning Delegate Condell of Plainyille presided
 MT Perry of Fairfield spoke on the one and sixty plan and declared it q great injustice that fixe-sixths of the people in the state should be deprived of their proper rights. Many Of the delegates expressed the same opinion.
 MT Middleton of East Windsor moved that a committee of three be appointed to confer with the deegates in favor of the one and sixty plan. This was carried and the following was the committee named Perry of Fairfield. Condell of Plainville and Holcomb of Southington.
 This convention then adjourned and the committee immediately went to the room where the delegates who fa- vored the one and sixty plan were meeting. After being admitted MT Perry stated the purpose of the visit and asked that the caucus fix a time when the committee could confer with them.
 MT Andrews of Litchfeld suggested that a meeting be held as soon as the convention adjourned today. Chair man Smith said the caucus would mo- tify the committee when they were ready to meet them.

RECRUITING OFFICERS IN TOWN

z-any Vacancies to Be Filled on Ac-
 count of Terms Expiring.
 A recruiting station for artillery for the United States army has been es- tablished in room 20 at the Earle house The station is ill charge of Sergeant Charles F. Thayer and Fred Loveland who arrived in this city last night. The persons, who shall enlist. will be sent to Fort Creole, k. l. Large posters have been placed throughoue the city, stating the con, ditions upon which a man may enlist Applicants must be between the ages of IS and 35 of good character and habits. able bodied and free from dis ease Persons not physically perfect. will be rejected. Minors will not be enlisted without the written consent of father, only surviving parent or legally appointed guardian. The term of service is three years. The enlist ments will be for the artillery home service. Sergeants Thayer and Love- land are young men of fine build, af- fable nature and very gentlemanly in conduct. A Democrat reporter had Il short interview with the former this afternoon. The substance of his re- marks were as follows: The terms of so many men, who enlisted at the time of the Spanish-American, are now ex-. piring so that the regular army is being considerably reduced. The en- listments ill the large cities are not subject to fill these vacancies. Hence number of recruiting stations are be- ing established throughout the soun- try. We intend to visit the surround- | ing towns while in this city The {. length of our stay will be determined
 by the number of recruits whom We
 shall receive. A man is put through q thorough examination by us and also by a physician. If he passes he is
 immediately sent to Fort Creole.
 Home service is much better than foreign service. The men are allowed
 more freedom. In the artillery ser
 vice an unusually favorable opportuni- | ty is afforded active, intelligent young
 men of temperate habits, who may list
 as prfyates and develop the necessary qualifications to secure a promotion to a commissioned grade.
