BIG RECORD IN LILY BULBS
of This Article from China
Will Break All Standing Marks
When Count Is In.

Exports of Easter lilies or mar
cissus bulbs from China this year
will break all records. Fifty tons
went out of Annoy in one vessel
bound for the United States last
week, and the next steamer for the
Pacific coast is to take a similar
shipment.
The prospects are that there
will be at least $4,000 worth of
these bulbs shipped to the United
States this year, exceeding the or.
binary record by perhaps $4,000.
The bulbs are raised in the
ChangchOw district, about 30
miles inland from Annoy. The
flowers are popular among the
Chinese, having more or less of q
religious significance, although
nothing like the significance com.
monty believed in the United
States.
The extent to which they have
come to be sold in the United
States scan best be realized when
the volume of exports from the
producing district is realized. IN
1902, 100000 bulbs were export.
ed; in 1903, 2,34S,OOO; in 1904, p
030,716, valued at $35,627. The
exports this year will probably
reach $43, 900.

HALTs A SOCIETY QUEEN"
Mere Policeman Orders Mrs. Astor's
Carriage Into Line with the
Rest in New York.

When a social queen finds her.
self treated as a mere ordinary
mOrtal-wOrse still, treated in
that fashion by pOlicemen-she
and her friends do not recover
from the audaciOus affrOnt for 4
long time, asserts the New York
Press. That explains why Mrs.
AstOr and her intimates still are
talking Indignantly about an incl
dent of the night when the grand
opera season in the Metropolitan
was opened. Actually, she had to
bow to the new traffic regulations.
Her carriage was ordered into line
when it reached the upper end OF
LOngacre square. IT is said the
cOachman unbent his dignity far
enough to stOOp and whisper to
bluecOat that his august mistress
preferred not to be detained. But
the policeman had his orders, and
if the queen of Sheba herself hail
begged for precedence he would
not have granted it. So Mrs. Aston
was 40 minutes late in reaching
the opera house. Not that any
holder of box in the gilded horse
shoe is ruffled by being late; the
contrary is the case. "But what is
the use of being sOciety's leader if
one is to be halted, actually halt
I'd. by some absurd regulation Of
some commissioner of something
or other?" demand the AstOr
friends.

Impression which One May Clean IL
watching Great City Go UP
Through Years.

The impressionist may watch
not only the making ofa people,
but what is almost as novel, the
making of a metropolis, says II. G..
Dwight, in Scribner's. The
process reflects with curious fidel.
ity the nature and the temper
of the elements at work. Archi-
tecturally the place is a chaos.
The most catholic eclecticism vies
with the widest individuality,
Whims sweep through it like an
epidemic-whims of red brick,
whims of brown stone, whims OF
white marble. You may mark
where the tides of life beat least
fiercely by the wreckage Of an
earlier period not yet borne under
the onslaught of the new. But
thes relics have nothing of that
indefinable touch which is of time.
They have, rather, the air of last
years hat. And they are discard
ed just as easily. 1t is as if the
builders, in spite Of their perpet-
ual astonishment at the growth of
the city, somehow knew that their
work was experimental and
wrought accordingly. They apollo
gized for their inadequacy to role
to suddenly thrust upon them by
offering the least possible resist
ance to their successors.
To an observer tender of ira
ditiOn the wholesale obliteratiOn
of landmarks which is so signifi.
can't feature of the present peri
cd would seem wantOn ito ig-
more other pOssibilities-itd did not
seem so engaging. An Old World
landlord would think twice, if he
thought at all, about pulling down
a house that served its purpose.
Here, on the contrary, great com
panies exist to no other end. AS
architects sometimes make mod
els to see how their ideas will look,
these people build houses to ser
how they look. And if the houses
do not look well, the people sOOner
or later pull them down. Among
all men of the earth these most
completely enjoy the luxury of
putting their betises into execu-
ton. Which, as disposing of
troublesome ObsessiOns, and as
giving free play to the law of nat
ural selection, is perhaps not a bad
road to better things. At all
events there is less caprice in it
than might appear. 1t is the plas-
ITCHY of yOuth-an unlimited sus.
ceptibility to the new idea, a iu-
venile scOrn of merely practical
difficulties.

Hostess Never Eats Until Desserts Are
Brought rn-Gussts Arranged
According to Rank.


In Japan the lady Of the hous'
does not appear at the dinner, VI
less there are ladies among tlN
guests, but she comes in with the
tea and sweetmeats whichalways
precede dinner, as our cock
tails and sherry. She greets the
guests when they arrive and reap
pears when the good-bys are said.
Silken cushions are scattered
about the floor and the guests are
arranged according to their rank.
Little tables, some six inches
high, are placed before each one,
and barefooted waiting maids in
graceful and prettily tinted XII.
mOnos bring in lacquar trays, with
tiny covered bowls. Before leav.
ing the trays on the tables they set
them on the floor, and, dropping on
their knees, make their best bow,
touching their heads to the floor.
Chopsticks take the place Of
knives and forks and are nevef
used twice unless they are heil
looms. Then they are of carve i
ivory of the most exquisite work
manship, as are the trays and
bowls.
Fortunately for the stranger in
that land of queer customs, the
host sets the example by removing
the covers from the bowls. In
each course there are a half dozen
dishes and the host tells what
they are. First, sHimOno, a bean
soup; kuchitori, chestnuts boiled
and crushed into a mush; kamabO.
ko, fish picked fine and rolled into
little balls and baked; sashimi,
raw fish cut into thin slices and
served in ice. This is dipped into
rich sauce called soy, and is really
very good. Little cups OF warm
sake, the native brandy made from
rice, is served with each course.
Napkins and bread are unknown
quantities. The second course is
of fish boiled whole; umani, bits of
fowl boiled with potatoes or lotus
roots; a salad of onions, peas and
string beans; with a few leaves of
lettuce; sunOmonO, sea snails
served with eggplant mashed, and
chaman-mushi, thick soup made
Of fish and vegetables, with mush-
rooms for a relish. The third
course is of a curry of rice and
picked vegetables, and for a fourth
and final course you have soho, a
sort of buckwheat vermicelli
served with soy, and a sweet liquor
called mirin; shirukO, rice cakes,
seaweed and confections of all
sorts which are sweet and taste.

COMBINATION OF LUCK
 KEPT SON FROM FUNERAL

Columbus, Ga, Dec. 17-jSpecial.)- Joe Wade. a young man formerly resident of this city, has arrived from Texas. in response to a message sent him three weeks ago apprising him or the death of his mother.
 For some reason the telegram, ur- gent though it was in it's nature, was not delivered to him until fifteen days after It's arrival in the Texas city.
 Mrs Wade died very suddenly. af- few hours later, one of her sons who had been away for several years. serv- ing as a soldier in the Philippine, ar rived. and was mexpressibly shocked 10 find his mother corpse; A teie- gram was at once sent to Joe Wade, her son in Texas. who has been West several years. Ms. Wade knew his exact address, but the others didn't and so the telegram was sent in care of the head officer of secret order in Fort Worth. of which he was known to be a member.
 The telegram was promptly deliV- cred by the company. C+2d the message was turned over to another official of the lodge for delivery. In some way. a misunderstanding as to delivery. or as to the address of the young man. arose. and 1t was fifteen days befor he received the message. It was worded in such a manner that he was not ab- cslutely certain that his mother was dead, but gathered the fact that she was at least in a dying condition.
 The young man left for Georgia on the next train, and made the trip froTV Fort Worth to Columbus in twenty four rours. Travelling via New Or leans, he came East without a st0p found that the Western of Alabama train would not leave in a number oi hours In a state of extreme anxiety he was almost frantic to get home

Concerning Illegal Fees.


 sections 457S and 457s of the Code fix the fees of the judges of county courts in cases of misdemeanors in which they have final Jurisdiction. They are allowed four dollars for each trial where they issue the warrant, and three dollars where the warrant Is is- sued by a justice of the peace These fees are paid out of the county treas ury. In Lee county the judges of pro- bate have, also, collected these fees for preliminary trials for felony cases. They are not legally entitled to these fees in such cases. In felony cases. they act as committing magistrates and not as judges of the county courts and are entitled to only justices fees, which are collected and paid as justices fees are paid. The fees which they have received from the circuit clerk in fel- ony cases, they have enormously paid into the county treasury, In charging the judges with the fees enormously collected from the county in the felony cases. have given them credit for
