Jacksonville, Ind.
She Will Go Up the Tennessee Next
Week Some Time-Savan-
nah Leaves.
TO BE FITTED OUT AT ST. LOUIS

The new steamer Shiloh, of the St.
Louis and Tennessee River Packet
company arrived last night at 10
O'Clock from Jeffersonville, where she
has just been completed, in command
of Major J.H. Ashcraft, who went up
to Louisville to bring her down.
She was taken up the river short
distance and lashed to the new City Of
Savannah, which arrived from the bar
on which she had been stranded since
August, Sunday afternoon.
Today when the City of Memphis
arrives out of Tennessee river, the
savannah will be lashed to her, and
towed TO st. Louis, where she will be
fitted out preparatory to entering the
st. Louis and Tennessee river trade.
The other boat, the Shiloh, will 20

week to take her place IN the Savan-
nah and Danville trade.
Captain Sterling O. Mcintyre, of
Cincinnati, will be captain on the Sa-
vannah. but the captain of the Shiloh
has not vet been decided on. Both of
these boats were designed largely by
Captain james Roger, of the city, and
are beauties and as fast as boats are
made.

DIVINE SAYS, MORE THAN

OBJECT TO THE P0MPADOUR
His DispleRsing Hairdress. He Says,
He Wears to Please His Mother
in-LaVv. but Congregation
Thinks Il Unbecoming.

CHICAGO, March 29.-Rev. William
II. Walker, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church of Willmette, is about to
leave that pulpit and one of the reasons
assigned for his departure is that the
women of his congregation do not like
his personal appearance The brushing
of his hair in pompadour style, the min
lister alleges, caused his trouble.
"A few months ago, to please my
mother-in-law, I began to comb my hair
in pompadour style, Dr. Walker said
Then my audiences began to grow small

l preached in Evanston, but the women
Of the congregation preferred to hear a
better looking man than /. l know of no
other reason for their attending other
churches
DR.. Walker said that he had been out
of sympathy with his congregation for
some time. He attracted general notice
4, few weeks ago by a sermon in which
he called Board Of Trade operators gam
blers, and all spectators robbers.
The report that his personal appearance
was resonsible for the lack of interest
by the congregation in his sermons was
widely circulated in Wilmette. DR. Wal
ker had no hesitancy in admitting that
there might be a great deal of truth in
this.
Il have never been led to believe that

women would rather see a good-Iooking

WHIT ST. Paul SPENT FOB EASTER FLOWERS.

Capable authorities on the subject affirm
that about $4,000 is expended every Easter
for flowers.
Almost before one Easter has come and
gone, the florists are setting out plants
to supply the demand of an Easter twelve
months away, and last April, which saw
the hothouses rified of their choicest buds,
also beheld the setting out of thousands
and thousands of new plants which were
to be harbored and cherished and tended
all during the hot summer, the mellow
autumn and the bleak days of December
and January, that they might spring into
bloom for the Easter of 1902.
The demand for flowers at Easter
trebles that of the six weeks previous,
consequently the florists husband their
strength, employ new assistants, and pre-
pare for a grand rush of business.
Easter lilies and violcts are the staple
articles of Easter trade. The demand for
them is tremendous Men order huge
punches of violets for their wives and
sweethearts, and the fashionable church,
on Easter Sunday, is redOlent with the
fragrance of the little purple flowers.
A guarded estimate places the number
of violets which arrive in st. Paul from
hOthouses as far away as Chicago to
satisfy the Easter demand at $4,000 These
are divided into lunches, and on their
rounds, Easter Sunday morning, the
florist wagons drop many a fine S. bouquet
of violets at various homes in the we'll
TODD districts of the city. The society
girl and matron wear their violets to
church, for Easter service seems to call
for floral display in the costumes of the
congregation as well as on the altar or in
the chapel.
Easter lilies go to deck rich and moder-
ate homes alike. On Easter Sunday every
woman likes to have a breath of spring
about the house. The churches them
selves make a big demand on the floral
market Towering pots of'lilies are used
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-03-31

begins on the Wednesday before Easter,
when the churches are being decorated.
Especially in Catholic churches quanti-
ties of the choicest and most fragrant
flowers are used, particularly lilies. Be
sides what are purchased by the COM
mittees, individuals contribute largely to
the decora ton of the church.
A feature in these transactions are the
number Of children, who, with their little
hoardingS, buy a plant of their own to
put on the altar of their church. Dozens
of young girls go in and deposit so or %
cents for a plant which is to be sent to
the church with their name attached on
a card. After Easter Sunday they are
at liberty to take the flowers for them
selves.
The charity of the world and the
thoughtfulneSS of portion Of mankind
show itself at Easter time when flowers
in numbers are sent to the hospitals. Of
ten a patient is remembered by one or
more friends. Sometimes wealthy and
philanthropic women leave orders with
the florist to send a certain quantity of
flowers to the hospitals, to be placed IN
the wards. The many plants and cut
flowers which reach the hospitals on East
er day prove that in its happiness the
world is not always selfish.
Sweet peas come high at Easter time.
but some people will have them, and for
these few the florists secure as many
as they can, which is not many, IheSe
delicate blossoms are ordered mostly for
dinner parties, as they are not strong
enough to withstand the air. Lilies OF the
valley are placed under high pressure in
hothouses to be ready for Easter. and
they are in great demand for Easter
brides. American beauty roses are al
ways timely because of their delicious
odor, and so the Beauty is in demand
at Easter although it has no peculiar
significance in connection with the day.
Then there is the great glad array Of
spray little spring fiOWers-tulps GRO
cuses, daffodils, jonquils and host Of
others The spreading hydrangeas come
rather high. and so figure conspicuously

and horses, and often little people. When
this is all done and it takes an incredibly
short time, the half egg is passed on to
another woman, who, with a little syrup
joins the two halves together and puts
a tiny magnifying glass at one end. The
fancy decorations are then put on the out.
side and it is done! Theses are about the
pleasantest eggs that one can receive, for
the fun of seeing the little pictures is al
ways new, and the trees wave in such
a realistic fashion that the spectator
seems to be looking through field glass.
Some of the daintiest things that have
been put on the market for gifts TINS
Easter are the beautiful boxes. There
are boxes of all shapes and conditions
big and little, round and square, PLAIN
and fancy. but the one that meets with
the greatest favor this year is the box
with the head of a hare peeping out of
the top. The way this box happened
to be made was through an accident
The manufacturer had ordered some OF
the heads from Germany but they did
not arrive in time to be put TO their
destined use. When they came it was
too late to do much with them The su
perlntendent sat wondering what to do
with them and lingering one of the heads
and had piece of paper in his hand.
Suddenly the paper tore and the head
popped through and the idea for one of
the best selling boxes for this Easter was
born.
All Of the most beautiful of the Easter
boxes were made entirely by hand, and
put together with the utmost care. Be
ginning with the strips of plain brown
straWboard, the box went through the
hands of many girls before it was finish
ed. The first step was done by a machine
which cuts the paper into the right length
for each special box. Then these lengths
were handed over to a girl who with a
half dozen quick movements fastened
them on a form, and put on the bottom
with tough tibrous paper to hold it.
Then on this box was sent to a girl who
lined 1t with white The next girl with
dainty touch put on the outside cover
of paper.
AT an establishment where this kind of
work is done there are glue pots galore
on the tables, in the tables and under
the tables there are even big blue ma
chimes which send the papers all ready
to paste to the girl who is doing fine
work and does not wish to soil her finger
After the machine finished its work near
~ every other step through which the
box has to pa4S is accompanied with a
more or less large daub of glue.
II these Easter boxes are expensive to
buy they are also expensive to make The
fancy paper that covered the outside was
OFTEN worth from 20 to 60 cents. To this
aod the cost of the trimming, which was
often several yards of beautiful ribbon
or equally expensive artificial flowers
also the cost of making and the lining
paper and it will appear that the price
pdld was not so eXOrbitant after all
But while the boxes are lovely. they
never will take the same place in the
anectlOns of the people as that occupied
by the more toy-lil1e gifts Eggs. chick
ems, mares and rabbits in any and ev-
cry style Will ever be dear to children
both old and young.
