solitudes of the desert; even the

The hat nearly caused a riot each
and every passerby turned and

cowboy in the top hat finished his
allotted task, and in company of his
COW and the milk pail he ambled
placidly out of sight. Still, one

personal liberty, why shouldn't a
silk hat be permitted to milk a cow?

Suddenly there came a mufled noise

that the engine was disabled.
"The skipper gave some orders to

FINE FLOWERS OF LONG AGO.
English Florists Had Secret Of Grow.
Ing Immense Carnations,

An Olive street florist says that
We pride ourselves nowadays on the
size of our carnations, but the for
lists of 300 years ago grew carnations
three TO four inches across, as large
as any hat we see, and thought
nothing Of it.
"All through Spain, southern
France and Italy, the carnation is
the fayorite flower and has been for
hundreds Of years, but along the
Mediterranean there are few glass
houses, for in protected situations
and on southern slopes of hills even
lclicate flowers grow outdoors all
winter long and bloom as freely at
Christmas as in July.
"The big carnations, however,
we're not grown in Spain or Italy,
but in England, outdoors, during
the summer time and before glass
houses were known. They may have
grown just as large ~carnation low-
ers in Spain as in England at that
time, but in England there was
record made of the fact and also Of
the size, while in Spain there was
not. Shakespeare mentions carna-
tions and gilly flowers, or July
flowers, together as blooming at the
same season, which shows that the
carnation was then a summer flower,
whereas in our greenhouses it is now
a winter boomer. The carnation

There is practically no change in

those used in 1906. But one make has
been received in the city this season
which shows departure from the for
mer machines. The Excelsior bicycle
makes a decided change in that the
frame is reinforced by bar directly
under the top on the frame. This
makes the frame much stronger than
it would be without the additional
bar. AT the same time the new
model is not cumbersome, but on the
contrary is quite attractive.

SHIPS COLLIDE
100 LIVES LOST

Block Island, R. l., Feb. 13.-About
$50 persons went down to their death
in Block Island sound Monday night
as a result of collision of the three
masted schooner Harry Knowlton and
the Joy line steamer Larchmont, bound
from Providence to New York. 1t is
estimated that, including the crew,
there were nearly 200 persons on board
the steamer when she sailed from Prov
idence. OF these only 10 appear to
have survived. Fort-eight bodies have
been recovered.
Awakened from their slumbers in
their staterooms, the unfortunate pass
engers were at the mercy of the fates.
Many, is it believed, went down with
the ship. Others, temporarily thank
full that they had escaped drowning,
prayed that they hight be relieved of
the terrible pain caused by their frozen
bodies, and one unknown passenger
plunged knife inc his throat and end
ed his sutferings.
The few who survived were in pitt
full condition. In almost every case
their arms and legs hung helplessly as
they were lifted out of the boats in
which they they reached shore. Dur
ing the day 4S bodies came ashore,
either in boats or thrown up by the
sea. Only six Of the 48 bodies were
identified.

SETTLE JAP MIDDLE
PRESIDENT And CALIFORNIANS
AGREE To AGREE.
School Question Can Be Adjusted
Without Danger Of Any Serious Diff
feulty With Japan-State Depart
ment to Conclude Diplomatic Neeo-
tiations as Result of Conference.

President Roosevelt and the authori-
ties of San Francisco have reached
the mutual understanding that the
California Japanese school question
can be adjusted without danger of any
serious difficulty with Japan. 1t was
authoritatively stated that the one &C
complishment Of the first conference
was n mutual understanding that set
tlement could be reached which would
be satisfactory and leave no ground
for trouble.
The California delegation came to
Washington, it is said, with nothing
in the nature of an ultimatum, but
rather open to the consideration OF
any basis of settlement which the adj
ministration might propose.
The conference took place at the
White House Saturday afternoon. 1t
was attended by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root, representing the
administration, and Mayor E. f.
Schmitz, the members of the board of
education, the superintendent of
schools and the assistant city attorney
of San Francisco, representing the
educational interests of the city
The conference, in accordance with
an understanding reached earlier in
the day, when Mayor Scbmitz saw the
president, with Representative Kahn
and Hayes began shortly after 8
o'clock. The CalifOrnians reached the
executive offices shortly before that
hour and halted for a few moments on
the steps, where they were photo
graphed in group. Preceding their
call, the president had been closeted
for some time with Secretary Root,
presumably to talk over the situation.
This over, the president cordially
greeted the CalifOrnians who had been
shown into his ohice, and after brief
formalities the conference was begun
Secretary Root remained, at the
presidents request, because Of the
fact that whatever diplomatic negotia-
tons may arise as a result Of the de-
cision finally arrived at will have to
be conducted by the state department.
