KEEPING FLOWERS FRESH.
When Properly Washed and Fed the
blossoms May Last Month.

"Cut flowers. when properly treat
ed" said a Sixth avenue florist, "can
be made to look fresh for three or four
weeks.
Every night take them out Of the
vases and thoroughly rinse the stalks
under faucet, removing with the fin
gers any decomposed matter. Then
put them to bed for the night in
basin OF strong soapsuds, but be care
full not to allow any water to touch the
blossoms. The soapsuds supply GER
tain amount of nourishment In the
morning rinse the stalks under the
water again, and, as each blossom is
arranged for the day in the vase Of
fresh water, snip off tiny portion Of
the stalk with a pair of scissors. AL
ways carefully trim away any faded
part.
Food for the day is supplied by sui
phate of ammonia, a few drops of
which should be added to the water
put into the vase. At night put the
flowers into some dark, cool place
say a pantry-as it is not good either
for the flowers or the household that
they should remain all the time in the
living rooms
"To revive cut flowers put them into
warm salt water to which has been
added few drops of sulphate of am
monia.
Cut flowers are constantly sent by
express and through the mails, but sci.
dom in such fashion as to preserve
their bloom and freshness. To effect
this, pack them in a light wooden box
lined with cotton or wadding, laying
over this a sheet of tissue paper. Their

FATAL CRUSH AT WOODBRIDGE
Explosion Wrecked HoteI-Thirty Per-
sons Injured.

Woodbridge, N. j.. Jan. Am ex-
plosion wrecked the hotel and hall of
Joseph Galaida and more or less seri-
ously injured 80 persons at Keasby,
four miles from here. while the st.
Johns Benevolent society was cele-
brating it's anniversary by a dance.
There were about 500 in the hall and
one of the two exits was closed by
the wreckage. The people became
panic stricken and fought to get out,
many being trampled on and seriously
injured. His wife was thrown against
the ceiling and fell unconscious to
the floor One of Miss Gertrude Eilon's
eyes was destroyed, her nose broken
and her jaw dislocated. She may
not recover Michael Ponger's arm
was torn off at the elbow. 1t is be-
lieved that some one with grievance
against Galaida or the society used
dynamite The walls of the building
were blown apart and it may col
lapse.

A Chinese Auction.

The Celestial always seems to do
things differently from other nations
and men. Perhaps nowhere is this
more apparent than at an auction sale
in China. To a stranger it is a most
curious spectacle. 1t is a quiet, sol
emn proceeding, perfect silence being
preserved the whole time. In this
particular II is unlike the noise and
confusion that usually reigns on like
occasions in this part of the world.
The auctioneer leans over a slightly
elevated counter and exhibits his
wares. He says nothing, either does
the bidder, who merely steps forward
to the auctioneer and runs his fingers
up his sleeve, making pressures on
the salesman's arm. indicating in this
manner how much he is willing to pay
for the article. Then another and
another repeat the action until the
one signifying the highest price re
ceives the article without a word be
ing exchanged on either side. Only
the auctioneer and the successful bid
der know the price offered and accept
ed. The opportunity for favoritisn
in this method is apparent, and doubt
less is often acted upon.

CHICAGO Mourns.

Chicago.-Chicago's head was bow
ed in grief Saturday over the awful
catastrophe of Wednesday afternoon.
Business generally was suspended.
The banks were the only commercial
centers which did not close their
doors. For an hour at. noon the bells
of the city tolled a requiem for the
dead.
Outside of what little business was
transacted downtown, the city was
given over to funerals. There was
not a cemetery in Chicago which did
not have one or more, some Of them
having as high as a score.

FLEE IN THEIR NIGHT ROBES.
Girls in Catholic Seminary Just Es
cape Fiery Death.


Louisville, KY. Jan. 4.-St. Cath
crimes academy, a Catholic school for
girls, located near Springfield, KY,
burned to the ground early Sunday.
There were no fatalities. The loss
is about 100000. The fire was dis
covered by Miss May Curry, a cripple,
and one of the sisters ran a mile. in
her bare feet and clad only in a night
dress, to give the alarm. Between rs
and 100 girls were in the school when
the fire broke out. So rapid was the
progress of the flames that the pupils
barely escaped with their lives and
clad only in their night robes, made
their way over the icy and snow COW
cred fields to the academy at st. Rose,
boys school a mile distant, before
securing shelter. st. GATHERINGS was
one of the historic educational insti-
tutions of the state and was founded

ANOTHER CHICAGO PANIC.
Occurred at Funeral Of Victim of Re-
cent Fire.


Chicago, Jan. A serious panic
occurred Sunday afternoon at the fun
eral Of Miss Carrie Sayres, one of the
victims of the fire. The services were
in progress in the South Chicago Con-
gregational church, in the suburb Of
South Chicago, and the building was
filled. A fire broke out three doors
from the church and the first intima-
ton of it was conveyed to the people
in the church by cry Of fire in the
street. Many rushed for the doors.
Two policemen stationed in the street
called to the people that there was
no danger and urged them to resume
their seats. Their advice was not
needed, however. The pallbearers
went to the side of the casket and
stood in readiness to remove it and
the family Of the dead girl prepared
to leave. Suddenly a cloud of smoke
came in through the open door and
the sight and smell maddened the peo-
pie The two officers had barely
time to swing the doors open when
the rush came. This was all that
saved a severe crush and probable
loss of life, as the crowd plunged
through the doors. When the street
was reached and it was seen that there
was no cause for alarm the greater
part of the people returned to the
church and the services were finished
Nobody was injured.

TWINS CAN NOT CELEBRATE.
Peculiar Circumstances of Birth at
Versailles, Ohio.

Versailles, Ohio, Jan. 4.-Twins,
daughter and son, were born to Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis Brown, residents of
this place, under most remarkable
circumstances. Just before 1908 pass
ed into history the daughter was born
and after the new year, 1904, was
ushered in, the son was born.
Both are we'll and hearty, but, al
though they are twins, they can never
celebrate the anniversary Of their
birth on the same day, month or year.
There is also something out of the
ordinary connected with the birth OF
the mother. She is one of pair OF
twins, and was born on the night OF
May 81, just before midnight, 20 years
ago, and her mate was born on the
morning of June i.

lArS his disposition would not always r,e Clll.d Wise but such was the large uess of his heart and kindline$S of his nature iI seemed difficult for him to know necessity without relieving it. His political record is of such recent date it. is useless to narrate except to say that as representative twice to State Legisla ture, once in the State Senate. as post master and county con- missioner he discharged his duties in Ill stations to the satisfaction of bis constituents. He could have re- ceivad within 10 years the nomination for sheriff of the county if he would take it. Twice he was a candidate for seat in the National House of Repre- sentatives and the present year could have been candidate for the highest office on the State ticket below Lieut. Governor.

DEATH OF EX-sENATOR CHARLES P.

DEATH OF EX-SENATOR CHARLES P.
 This place has met with a loss the the past week, very, very hard to fill, in fact we are a t present poWerleSS to state if this void will ever, be smoothed so the community will recover from the loss. Hon Charles P. Lyman, aft CT an illness which has confined him to his home for neary two months, died on December l, aged 46 years. The cause of his death as given by Dr Marcy was pachy meningitis. For
 weeks and in fact months before his final confinement, his eyesight and hearing were affected and finally his
 brain succumbed to the dread disease. The care given him by his family, es- pecially his wife and also the minis trations of his faithful physician could not be eXcelled, but human aid seemed
 powerlesS to arrest or Obliterate the ravages which kept weakening him,
 Sapping his strength till the coma state which lasted less than day be-
 fore his decease. He leaves a widow, neral was largely attended at the church, on Saturday afternoon. Rev

 Beardsley, acted as pallbearer The
 interment was made in his plot in the cemetery here. In the large con- course of friends who met to pay their last tribute to the memory of MT Ly- man, we noticed Ex-Senator Houli- han, Editor Smith, c. H. Northrop and s. A.
