like sone OF these"
These words Of Jesus in His Sermon on
the Mount would not be needed to call the
attention Of people to the lily at this age
and at this season of the year. Perhaps
the ethical point Jesus wished to make
when He talked of the lily is not recalled
TO the minds OF all when they see the
fower, unless the preacher mentions It
in his Easter sermon. but the aesthetic
sense Is aroused always. and the beautiful
and the good are very kindred. But
chiefest thing OF all the lily. which has
been taken as an emblem OF the day on
which Christ arose from the dead. brings
thoughts OF Him who preached the Ser
mon on the Mount.
The florist considers the lily. you may be
sure. ana considers II well. but from
standpoint OF finance more than any othef.
He ecnhiders just as assiduously the vio-

Easter Lilies in Great Demand.
this season. just as they were last year
Easter lilies will be in greatest demand
and the year before and ten years ago
No flower is so popular as an emblem of
purity, nor so in keeping with the senti-
ment OF the season. Though II is hoped
that no family will have to get along with
out its lilies this year, the flowers, at least
those of the finest quality. are not quite
so. plentiful as last spring. A year ago
Easter was a week later and the lilies were
fresh, healthy and at the height of their
splendor, having been allowed their own
time for perfect development. This year
the flowers will be OF the very best. in
cases where the florist allowed Nature to
take its course, for the warm weather OF
the last few days has brought the plants
out wonderfully. If the last week had been
continually cold and cloudy the prospects
would be poor for any large amount of
fine lilies. The reason that lilies will be
fewer than a year ago is that some OF
the florists put their plants in cold places
during the warm periods Of January and
February, fearing the high temperature
would cause them to blossom before
spring, and the lilies received such a set
back that they are now behind the sea-
son. being not so easy to force as tulips.

Two Real Pulpfta In Omaha.
The two pulpits that look like pulpits
in Omaha that have probably held more
eminent divines than any other are those
in st. Phlomena's cathedral and at Trinity
cathedral. In the last decade the old
Catholic cathedral on Ninth street has
lost9st the ecIat that once surrounded It
when the town was not so big and the
building not so old. That was before the
lofty spire got wobbly and had to be pulled
down. But st. Philomena's is still the
cathedral and when Bishop scanneli,

Twenty years ago the fame and elouuence
OF the Rev. Willard Scott drew large
crowds to St. Mary's Avenue Congrega-
tional church and the pulpit there has
known many gifted tongues besides his.
At the First Presbyterian church Rev. w.
j. HarshR, esteemed one of the finest
preachers Of the sect. occupied the pulpit
for some time. Reoollections of the re-
markable power Of speech possessed by
DR.. Joseph T. Duryea, who came from
Boston to the First Congregational church
in 1889 and remained about four years, arc
still lively.
Omaha pulpits have had their share OF
the more marked genius and talent in ex-
pounding the word OF God.
To try to catalogue the great evange-
lists who have filled local pulpits would
entail an immense amount OF labor.

The county clerk is a member

PLYMOUTH


Raymond Patterson telegraph
ing from Washington to the Tri-
bune, says that in attempting to
pass the pure food bill Congress
has proceeded along the now ia
miliar constitutional grant of
power to regulate interstate and
foreign commerce. There is abb
solutely nothing to compel a
manufacturer of any article OF
food or drink, whatever it be, to
ldmit q. government inspector to
his factory. Neither is it within
the power of the Federal Govern
ment to punish him for adulter-
ling the things he sells, for deceiv-
ing the public by fraudulent labels,
or for the more petty swindling
involved in the giving of short
weight. All these things of neces-
| sity must be regulated by local
laws and local authorities.
1t is only when a manufacturer
or dealer seeks to send an article
from one State into another that
he comes under the jurisdiction
lot the national government.
Congress has the power to regu-
late only interstate commerce. 1t
can absolutely forbid the trans
portation from one State into an
other of any article at any time.
In this way the pure food bill,
which has been before Congress
for years and years, aims to regu-
late the manufacture of products
of food and drink and medicine
by prohibiting their use in inter-
state commerce unless they are
honestly made, properly labeled
and of full weight.
If every State had satisfac-
tory and uniform pure food law,
and if the local authorities in
every county and city would in
terpret the law in the same way
and execute it honestly, there
'ould be no necessity whatsoever
for national pure food law.
The bill now under considera-
ion in the House, if enacted into
aw, will not interfere in the
slightest particular with the stat
utes of any State except SO far as
those statutes interfere with in
terstate commerce. The right of
supervision and of original in
'pection over the products of any
factory, distillery or chemical
house is reserved to the State. 1t
may have inspection or not, as it
sees fit.
Consequently, in the absence OF
proper laws or honest officials, or
a healthy public sentiment, it will
still be possible for manufact-
urer in the city of Chicago, for
instance, to poison his home con-
sumers. But he will not be al
lowed to send his poisonous arti-
cies to Milwaukee to kill off per-
sons there. If he does, he will
be punished by United States
law, provided this bill ever gets
on the statute books, which is
nuite another question

A RICH MURDERER.
Crime in High Circles Seems
Constantly Increasing.

Harry Thaw, member OF the
Pittsburg family OF millionaires
and husband of Evelyn Nesbit,
the actress, shot and almost in
stantly killed Stanford White, an
eminent architect of the firm of
McKim, Mead & White, during
the performance of the musical
extravaganza, "Mamzelle Cham
payne, on the roof of Madison
Square Garden in New York on
Monday night. Mr.. White died
before an ambulance could be
called, and Thaw was arrested
Immediately after the shooting.
The Madison Square Roof
Garden, which had been closed
for several years, was crowded
with a fashionable audience.
While Harry Short, who fills the
principal comedy role in the piece
was singing a comic song and the
garden was echoing with the
laughter snd applause of the au-
dience a series of shots startled
those IN the>rear of the auditori-
um, and a man in evening dress
was seen to fall across a table at
which he was sitting with a party
! of friends.
The man who had fired the
shots fled, pistol in hand, ran
toward the nearest exit, where he
was seized and disarmed by po-
lice.
Instantly the great audience
was thrown into a panic and a
wild stampede took place, dur
ing which chairs and tables were
overturned and men and women
fought with desperation to escape
from the roof.
The man who was shot was
quickly identified as Mr.. White,
)ut his assailant was not positive
ly known to be Thaw until after
he had been taken to the station
house. Persons in front of the
auditorium where the shooting
took place say they saw man
sitting with a fashionably dress
ed woman in the rear suddenly
walk toward table in front.
The first intimation of trouble

his seated victim, the man ex-
.laimed: You've deserved this
You've ruined my home," and
lrawing an automatic pistol fired
hree shots.
The first two took effect, but as
he third was discharged the pis-
tol was struck up by fireman or
luty in the theater and the bullet
went skyward.
