What action the town authorities will
take further, the mayor could not say
when asked for his views.

the people at Wildwood from getting an
other liquor license, but they were too
strong for us. However, We are planning
another move, and we may. yet drive
the undesirable out of our town

should be invaded by these people" said
Thomas r. Teale. q well-known citizen
at is only a short time ago that We
drove this class away.
They are the most undesirable people
have ever seen. Many of them used to
get beastly drunk and create all kinds OF
trouble. Inonensive residents of the
locality were assaulted without cause.
Men wound lie around under the trees
stnpefed with bad liquor, cursed our
wives and sisters and created disturb
ances on the cars. Finally the ouJrages
became so frequent the authorities had
to act, and we were ultimately relieved
of the outrageous visitors.
I'VE thought the matter had ended,
but now it seems that more powerful
men have taken an interest in the gam
blers and their following, and they are
coming back this summer. We hardly
know what action to take, but some
thing must be done
Similar views were expressed by a
dozen men interviewed.

Payne TO decide TO call upon him for
written charges to the department, and
this viii be done unless something unex-
peeted arises in the near future.
Mr.. Tulloch is said TO have the fol-
lowing order in his possession:

BALTIMORE CITY ELECTION

Democrats have suffered more than have
tne Republicans by defective ballots.
Two years ago in the first tests of the
new ballots it was shown that the mod

put himself TO the trouble of learning

liable 10 error than The initerate col
ored voters, who gladly accept instruc-

This fact was brought out by Major
Venable in the recount OF ballots in u
district in the supposed seat of intelli-
gence OF the city

were 1888 ballots deposited. OF these

TRANSFO FORMING PARKS
INTO FLOWER GARDENS
The Work of Transplantipg Begins
Today.

Armed with troweIs and spades, a
small army of gardeners from Uncle
Sans propagating gardens entered Far
ragut Square early this morning 10 be-
gin the actual setting out of what will
be the greatest array of flowers ever
seen in the public parks of Washington.
George Brown. the landscape gardener
in charge of the propagating gardens.
says that Lose. 6S7 plants are now ready
to be taken from the greenhouses to the
parks. This forest of flowers exceeds
the number transplanted to the parks
last year by 100000, or nearly one-third.
Begin Work Today.
The gardeners were this morning set
ting out the more hardy plants, cannas,
geraniums, and salias, for even last
night there was a touch of white frost,
and the gardeners say that it will be
ten days or two weeks before the more
delicate flowers can be trusted out at
night.
There are between 300 and 400 parks
in Washington, and 1t is impossible for
Mr.. Brown to put men at work on all
at once. The larger parks, such as Far
ragut Lafayette, Dupont Circle. the
Pension Office Park, where crowds are to
be seen every day. will be first attended
to, and the work gradually completed. 1t
is hoped that by June 10 all the plants
will be in the parks.
PrOpagating Plants.
The work of propagacfng this vast
number of plants was commenced last
November, though few, if any, of the
plants put in the propagatiug houses in
the first few months of the work viii
be seen in the parks, for as soon as a
plant has matured the gardeners cut il
up and plant the cuttings in the propa-
eating house again. Thus one plant de-
velops a family, and constant progress
sion is in order, making it possible 10
turn out such d large number.
There are 137 distinct varieties of
plants, though not different plants, for
of some OF the specimens there are rs
many as forty varieties.
Chrysanthemum a Favorite
The chrysanthemum, which has become
great favorite. viii not be set out un
til the last Of September aud October
when they Will replace the delicate
plants that go down before the first
frost. No less than forty varieties Of
this brilliant flower are under cultiva
tion at the propagating gardens. The
rose, on the other hand, has only five
varieties in the array
The gardeners are making I lans for an
extensive increase in the decoration Of
the White House grounds, which will be
begun in three or four days.
