"swEARINe OFF" PERSONAL TAXES.

From The Brooklyn Eagle.
A newspaper is y private business. 1t does not
.'renresent the public"-in any official sense. 1t Is
not elected 1t is not appointed. 1t Is not put on
cath Government Representa- the public. News
papers only claim to do so-ln order to commend
themselves to the public and incline the public 10
them Just that question arises in the present ad-
ministration of the office. newspaper charges
that the Tax Commissioners have treated four very
rich men with lenity and consideration that Is
NOT extended to the ordinary citizen who has deal
ines with the office. The Tax Commissioners deny
the charges utterly. The only way in which Judg.
ment can be passed is for somebody to review what
the rich men have sworn to and to see whether 1t
iustifes the reductions made. and he must snow
by a lawsuit that he ls injured 1t IS not enough
that he is curious or meddling or after news.
But nobody will contend that such tribunal OF
review should be the reporters. The reporters are
Interested In the administration Of the tax once, II
1t should happen to be seandalously bad' because
are nouisitve to the private AFFAIRS, and espe-
ciaIly In the financial situation OF Morgan, or
Vanderbilt or Rockefeller far more than IN any
news is none Of their business. More people will
buy that sort OF gossip than any other mstter
that can be printed. The action OF the Tax Com
nnissioners may be entirely 1usthed by the state
nibiication of their statements would be an expos
ire of private affairs which every citizen has a
right to have protected not for the purpose OF cor
recting abuses Of out ror the 5Ys
psTs pspers Would be thus Doomed at the expense Of
eitizens not at all for the public good, but solely

Miss Louise Spence, who sprang into

Washington, while he was q, guest at the
Hotel English, In Indianapolis, where she
was employed, has the air Of a grand dame
when she attempts to discuss the race

She is still angry because she had
cleaned a part of Washington's suite Of
rooms without knowing that he had oc-

she saw Washington seated at a table

man she called on the house

EXPERT FLOWER PARADE DIRECTOR
Whelan City Made Herself Indispensable
!. t.s the Management Of Flower Parades-Has Begun
Work for the Minneapolis Carnival.

Ten years ago Mrs. G. v. Whelan, Of
Kansas City, knew as little about arrang
ing floral parades as; she did of balloon
ing. To-day her services are in demand
from one coast to the other. Mrs. Whelan
came to Minneapolis last week to super
intend the floral autom obile parade and
decorate the float and carriages on the
night Of the GROWING of the queen Of the
carnival the first week IN June and she ex-
poets to make several hundred carriages
beautiful for the two occasions.
Mrs. Whelan is enthusiastic over her
work, which she declares is ideal for a
woman. She is the only woman in the
country engaged in it and last year she
had twenty or more offers than she was
able to accept. She will have charge Of
the floral decorations for the opening pa
rade at the st. Louis exposition and a man
is In Paris already hunting for ideas and
novelties so that everything may be unique
Mrs. sWhelan has had charge Of floral pa
rades in Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas
City: New York and Florida and she came
to Minneapolis from Pittsburg. In the
winter she is kept busy in the south and
on the western coast and in the summer
she is called to the different northern cit
les and resorts.
When she is asked to take charge Of q
parade she arrives in a city about a, month
before the carnical opens and employs
from twenty TO thirty girls IN the manu-
facture of paper flowers. Thousands and
thousands Of roses, carnations, lilies, vio-
lets and other blossoms. are made from
the tissue paper. Mrs. Whelan has a fac
tory for artificial flowers in Kansas City
where she keeps over 100 girls at work, but
only the more expensive varieties are
made there. It is a pretty sight to see the
work room with it's workers almost buried
beneath the piles of -delicately tinted bios
SONS heaped about them.
It costs anywhere from SIS to $500 to
decorate a carriage or an automobile for
a parade and Mrs, Whelan declares that
quite pretty effect may be obtained with
garlands of flowers for SIS She has
evolved her own method and by covering
the carriage with a coarse, stiff muslin
she is able to paste the flowers on it rap
+ idly and skilfully. When she first took up
the work she used a needle and thread,
which was long and tedious process,
but with a paste brush she can easily
decorate many carriages a day.
| Usually only two or three colors are
| used, altho they may run the gamut Of
every tint and it requires a nice taste to
arrange the flowers so that they shade
into each other tremendously. Lavender
and white is a, fayorite combination and
so Mrs. Whelan laughingly declares, al
ways wins a prize. Yellow and white.

EMERSON "REMINISCENCES AT
NEW ENGLAND WOMEN'S CLUB
Surviving Friends ued Interesting Tales About the
Great Philosopher With Whom They Had Enjoyed the
Privilege Of Long Association

When first began thinking of this matter.
CHANGED to meet lady who told me of an ex-
perience which Mr.. Emerson had in inviting some
ladies to meet with him for rational conversation
The ladies were delighted with the plan, and
they went to Concord and had very agreeable
dinner; but when the conversation began they
found it impossible to utter q word. Mr. En-
erson finally gave up the attempt at conversation
and brought, out his diary. The attempt was re-
peated, but no response was received from the
ladies, and when the diary ended, the meetings
gave some reason for Mr.. Emerscn's objection to
the presence Of ladies. He was great be-
lever in conversations; he thought 1t was the
greatest art in the world and he found many
womens conversation very frivolous.
1t will be warning, L hope, to us, to cult1-
vate conversation and be ready to take part.
Thirty years. experience has done something
for us in this club and we should not now be
so unable to respond.
do not think the Town and Country Club
met with much success. A room was secured on
fremont row or street, and very beaut1ful
water pitcher was secured to refresh the weary
wanderers who came in; but for some reason the
attendance was lacking, and the whole matter
was given up. The water pitcher. think, was
given to Mr.. Alcott.
Colonel T.. w. Higginson quoted his
cousin, Enery Charming, as saying:
The club went to pieces because it was com
posed largely Of two elements, busy gentlemen Oh
business who wanted to have royal good time.
once or twice a year, and country clergymen
who thought that for dollar a year they ought
to have board and lodging for a week whenever
they went to Boston. !,
ssEver since Margaret Fuller's time, !"
continued Colonel Higginson, lit has been
common for men and women to hold
meetings and talk together. But to bring
them together In the full texture of their
lives is hardly accomplished yet. l know
hardly a club that has a, clubhouse where
it is So Even in this New England Wo-
mems club, the male members are only
a few gentlemen soon to disappear, like
myself, Mr. Kendall and Mr.. Blackwell.
A thoro intermingling is to be found no
where, except perhaps in London.
James Russell Lowell wrote of the de-
funct Philosophers club: This club is a
singular agglomeration. All the persons
whom other folks think crazy, and who
return the compliment belong to it. Mr.,
Alcott proposed to call it the Olympian
club. Lowell responded ''if we must Gull
tivate the antique it might be well, as the
club hoped to aid in crushing some mon:
sters, to call it the Club of Hercules
