A Beautiful Blossom.

Dr.. e. b. Shaw Is a floral enthus-
inst, He II fond Of the beautiful pro.
ductions Of the Conservatives and
dotes on the flowery meadows and
even the Wild weed blossoms. He
finds poetry in the fragrance Of the
flowers and would rather see d gar
den of h~ollyhocks and verbenas IN
bloom than a storied castle on the
banks Of the Rhine or the imposing
tomb Of an Egyptian king. For per-
haps the first time in his life he
has had his floral sense fully graft.
fled, A half blown rose presented by
Mrs. Dan Stern to Mrs. Drukker, DR..
Shaw declares the most perfect and
remarkable flower he ever saw. This
lovely blossom Is sixteen inches in
circumference and promises TO be con
slderably larger. Its hue Is varied and
beautiful and Its fragrance is delicate
and all pervading.

went into a long conference over with
governor Peabody and at the conclu-
sion that the executive gave symptoms
OF reversing himself in the matter and
ordering Bell to produce Meyer The
governor will probably follow one OF
two courses either refuse to order Bell
in the matter or ask the supreme court
to so modify its order that the presence
of Meyer will not be required when the
case comes up Thursday.

WOULD CHEAT
THE CALlOWS
Bandit Neidermeyer Attempts
Suicide by Opening His Veins
With a Pencil

,Special Telegram to Evening Teller)
CHICAGO, April 1s.-At 10 o'clock
this morning Bandit Neidermeyer who
attempted suicide last night by OPEN
ing his veins with lead pencil and
swallowing the heads Of matches was
in very low condition. His aged
mother was permitted to see him.
Previously a priest prayed with Neid-
ermeyer and he responded weakly. The
desperate fought the physicians and
wrenched off the bandages from his
wounded arm. The loss of blood has
been great and the doctors say that
Neidermeyers stomach has been ruined
bv poisonous matter and even If he
was not sentenced to hand Friday he
would not long survive.
Neidermeyer had written a letter Of
hoastfu nature stating that it would
be pleasant for him to think of death
giving reasons why he should take his
own life because of the public boast
that he could not do it, that he could
know that they failed to execute him
and to leave another mystery for the
ignorant police to solve. He said that
he repented his career but that life was
nothing but a passing show. He de-
clared himself an atheist.

WILL INSTRUCT FOR PARKER
THOUGH THE FIGHT IS A HOT one
New York for the First Time Since 1892 Will
Send an Instructed Delegation to
the Convention

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
ALBANY, n. Y. April 1s.--For the
first time since Cleveland was nomi-
mated in 1892 delegates from New York
to the national democratic convention
will probably be instructed for a presi-
Dental candidate, Parker Of Esopus.
The leaders who are managing his
campaign claim that the action of to-
days convention will be followed
within the next three weeks by the
adoption of similar instructions by
eoanugh states in the south and mid
die west to insure the nomination of
the New Yorker. The convention met
at o'clock.
The convention was called to order
by George Raines and Monroe was
elected chairman. Bleecker Hall was
chiefly remarkable for its absence If
decoration and for the heat. Seated in
the boxes were many old time stall
warts.
Demonstrations by the crowd become
so numerous that when Murphy en-
tered the noise lasted ten minutes, led
by Tammany following. Murphy sat in
the center of the New York delegation

Brady and Victor Dowling.

FRENCH MAKING A RECORD
LOOKING after IDAHO INTERESTS
Washington Correspondent Says His Services
Are too Valuable to States Interests to
Keep Him out of Another Term

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 1S-The
greatest handicap a representative has
to overcome is the shortness of his
term. With only two years to serve
the new member has really no chance
to make a record. He has scarcely
time to fit himself in his seat, and GER
tainly no opportunity to gain expert
ence or impress himself upon his hun
dreds of colleagues before he is in the
throes of another campaign. He is at
the tail end of the committee assign
ments and finds the legislative organ
lzation controlled by a few old MEM
bers who very early impress upon him
the fact that so far as he is concerned
silence is golden
He leaves his home state flushed with
the adulation of his people and conf
dent that he will Immediately impress
his individuality upon the house. Ar
rived here he discovers an obscure
niche provided for him and he is in
deed lucky if he escapes being more
than a mere cipher or a small unit in
the large organization. The new mem
pers who by their natural ability and
aptness in legislative work rise in their
hrst term above the low plane custom
and precedent have established by such
men owe it to their citizens to see that
they are returned.
The new member from Idaho found
niche prepared for him, but proved
100 big for it. He made a large place
Tor himself and today is almost as fai
advanced as members who are serving
their second term. This is said without
desire to laud unduly the work he has
performed thus early in his career. i
is TO be hoped that his party is thor
oughly cognizant of the value Of his
enorts and will express it's apprecia'
ton by returning him for another
term.

their cooperation and assistance II
necessary toward securing its consid-
Grafton at this session Of congress.
THE senate of the United States has
a way of sitting down on a man who
undertakes to push himself forward too
much, is remark Of one Of the well
known men in the senate, and it is a
fact which many senators realize
sooner or later who undertake to run
things" against what is the will of the
majority, or the eminently respectable
minority who control the business of
the senate. Sometimes the case of a
pushing" senator is taken up in the
steering committee" and at other
times it is carefully considered by
small gathering of men who can trust
each other and who know the methods
to put a new senator under the pump
so to speak. The result is soon felt.
The struggling senator does not know
just what is happening to him for
awhile, but he finds that everything is
not all right. Gradually he finds il
more satisfactory to pursue a course
along the lines of the least resistance.
AS Senator Quay would say, he learns
to go long" and thereafter he receives
consideration.
Recognizing the Importance and
value of the report of the proceedings
of the committee on organization of the
land owners of the Boise and Payette
valleys, copy of which was sent to
the secretary of the interior. Senator
Hepburn introduced resolution in the
senate asking that the same be printed
as a senate document This document
will prove of great value to other COM
munities which may in future apply for
government aid in support OF large ir-
rigation projects. On receipt Of the pc
tition Of the leading citizens of these
valleys Senator Hepburn and Con-
gressman French transmitted letters to
the secretary OF the interior heartily
endorsing this project and urging early
action on the part Of the reclamation
engineers toward the completion Of this
great work. N. p. 3.
