Fiscal Question in Du1wich and
 Lewishem Elections.


 London, Dec. 15.-Few bye-elections of recent years have evoked a tithe of the interest shown in the contests in the Dull wien Division of CamberweIl and at Lew isham. to fill the vacancies caused by the deaths of Sir John Blundell-Maple and John Hem, both of whom had repre- sented their respective constituencies for many years in the Conservative interests. pr. F. Rutherford Harris (Conserva- tive) who was confidential agent of the late Cecil Rhodes. and c. F. G. Master man UiberaD, are contesting Dulwich, while Major Coates and J. W. Cleland represent the Conservatives and Liberals respectively in the Lewisham borough.

LABOR FOR | LOWER RATES Fire Insurance Charges | Are Too High.
 CONDITIONS DEMANDED Montgomery Business Men Hear from Tariff Men.
 Committee Behind Closed Doors De-
 cides to Urge Council to Meet Requirements for Better Basis Rates.

At meeting of the Commercial and In- dustriai Association Committee on lnsu- rance, held yesterday afternoon at 5 clock, letters were read from Secretary Fleming of the Southeastern Tarif Asso- ciation, stating what Montgomertanst should do to make the city a second class insurance community. ltirA, ;, |,
 The meeting was presided over by Charles P. Anderson. Chairman. and was held behind closed doors. It is under stood, however, that one of the most ur- gent demands of the Tariff Association is that Montgomery should have more water plugs and it is said that the Commercial and Industrial Association will lend its in- fiuence to having such a step taken by the City Council.
 May Raise Rates. Secretary Fleming was in Montgomery last week. While here he drew up an agreement to be filled in by agents, which binds them to abide by the rules of the | Tariff Association. It is said that sev- eral agents have refused to sign this agreement on account of belief that the Tariff Association intends raising the al- ready high rate of lire insurance in Mont gomery.
 Montgomery Is ranked below second class fire insurance city. A first class in- surance city has a basis rate of 25 cents on the $l00 for fire insurance and Mont gomerys basis rate Is about $ on the $1OO.
 Quality of buildings. efficiency of fire department. and water supply enter into l the requirements of a first class city and 1t Is to make Montgomery nearer the first class that the Insurance Committee is laboring.
 Tariff Men to Investigate. | prominent insurance man said yester- day that on account of urgent application made by several underwriters here, a com mittee from the Southeastern Tariff Asso- ciation will visit Montgomery in the near future to investigate the requests for a reduction of the basis rate. At present, l however, he said that the indications are that the rate will be raised. e
 The meeting yesterday afternoon was attended by Charles F. Anderson, Jacques Loeb, B. J.. Baldwin. John TulIis, IT,, c. w. Buckley, E. Burnett, J. T. Moses and Gus Rice. The Committee was in session over an hour.
 Secretary L. L. Gilbert of the Associa- ton said yesterday afternoon that the Committee hopes to get matters in shape before many days so that a report may be made to the Association. The report when presented, he says, will be a care | fully prepared and well digested resume of insurance conditions in Montgomery with specific recommendations from the Committee as to the proper course to se- cure a reduction in the rates. l "The Committee is going at the matter" | said Mir.

THE BEST WAY TO TEACH HIS.
TORY.

The Idea of object teaching, the
foundation OF the Frcebel system of
instruction, has in recent years met
with general acceptance and adoption
in almost every branch of education.
high and low, with resultant benefits
which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as grammar and arithmetic
are now taught in this way SO far as
practicable, and with marked advant-
age over the old dry and abstract
methods. The practice Of teaching
history by making pilgrimages to the
very scenes where great historical
events have occurred Is an application
OF the same principle and much more
valuable in the way of impressing the
reality of history upon the minds Of
the young than any amount Of mere
textbook instruction could be. A re-
cent issue of the "Four-Track Series,"
published by the New York Central
management, gives a description of
the historical sites in the immediate
vicinity of New York, which will be
of exceeding value for the guidance
of teachers and others who desire to
adopt this method of historical study.
One of the best ways to develop civic
pride and promote good citizenship
lies in this very direction, an In
crease of knowledge of local history
being accompanied with an increase
of interest in matters of local govern
ment and higher concern for what
affects the welfare and good name OF

BUDS OF EASTER

The florists are looking happy. Ac-
cording to experts. this Easter will
create a new record for the flower
market.
Last Casters flower prices indi-
Gated that nearly 100000 was ex-
pended in New York city alone for
cut flowers and plants, and there are
florists who confidently predict that
even this sum will be oyertopped this
season.
Tks lily. both cut and potted. is
queen of the Easter market. This
year florists are making specially or
set pieces made of Japan lilies. IL
one Of the most beautiful Of these
shallow basket or tub is lined with
moss in which are buried the stems
Of the lilies.
Plants" said florist, ARE more in
demand at Easter than cut flowers.
and next to them in popularity are
fancy baskets sflled with cut flowers.
The baskets are of many shapes.
"a favorite design resembles .
small hamper of lilac rough straw. the
cover held back with broad satin
ribbon tied in a bow between the
hinges. This is filled with roses of
the valley standing upright
"A three-cornered. open-faced bas-
ket of white and gola straw finished
with tall, slender handle, is nov
city. The handle is wound with fow-
ers and smilax and the flowers in the
basket are arranged to droop grace
fully to one side.
"A very beautiful receptacle for
violets is a fat tray-like oblons bas-
ket suspended by wide satin ribbon.
Wide ribbons Of gauze, satin and tat
feta are again a distinctive feature
alike Of the Easter plants and made
pieces, preference being given to
white, pink and mauve."
II Easter spells prosper . the
flower growers, it is equally a boon Ia
the confectioners. To be strictly up
to date. one must send a present OF
candy enclosed in handsome Faster
box and indeed in many case the
candy IL used only as medium for
the bes.owal OF gilt really worth
having.
Among the more noticeable Of the
boxes is . variety made of a sort OF
papier mache in imitauon cream and
of pale eeru leather, which is orna-
mented with embossed sprays OF
flowers Ia their natural tint and tho
heart OF each flower sparkles like q
jewel.
Another variety of box is covered
with satin-white, pale blue, pink,
mauve or yellow-and hand painted
with flowers and with birds and foil
age.
A third style is of ecru silk en-
bellished with vines and flowers OF
raised embroidery done with applique
segmenta Of s.... and gauze in gay
colors.
Some of these boxes are quite large
and Of many shapes, the square per-
haps having most admirers. Boxes OF
finely woven, tinted straw are also
included in the display, trimmed on
top with artificial flowers.
Although less costly than the silver
ed. gilded. enameied and jeweled bon
bonnier.. which are also conspicuous
In the confectioner's Easter stock, the
boxes ase by far the more popular.
