EASTER FLOWER BILL
 OF GOTHAM $1,OOO,0O0

has this year brought out some very fine orchids.
 These orchids have been retailing for two dollars each. On the surface it would appear that the poor would be able to get little pleasure out of flowers at Easter, but the truth is they get more real pleasure out of them than the rich In the first place, the poor appreciate them more when they get them, and the fact that they do not get them until the day after Easter does not make them enjoy them any the less. There are many societies here for the special purpose of distributing flowers among the poor, and after any event at which they are used profusely, the members collect them and distribute them among the hospitals, institutions and the poor of the tenement house dis tricts. Thus, if New York spends a million dollars on Easter flowers, the poor and unfortunate of the city get fully two-thirds of them the next day. and it is only those of moderate means who get left
The Prescott daily news., 1907-05-24

COME one with fondness for sta O tistics has discovered that the sum spent for Easter flowers in this city amounts to almost Sl000,000 This estimate is based on canvass Of flower shops and is as near the cor rect figure as can be arrived at with out great deal of time and labor be- ing spent on the task. That society is becoming more eXtravagant in floral decoration every year is the statement made by one of the florists to the Four Hundred. This same florist says that aside from the amount of money spent at Easter, there is more money put up daily for flowers than ever before. There are also more expensive flowers in the market than there ever were before, because so many of the country gen tlemen hereabouts, with fine conserva- tories, are constantly bringing out newer and higher grades of flowers for the market as we'll as for the pleasure of raising them. For in- stance, Mir. H. Mex. Twombly, who has a fine place at Madison, N. J..

TO HAVE GOVERNMENT PAY CAMPAIGN EXPENSE

It is understood that the amount made available from the public treas ury would be apportioned among the parties on some such basis as the rel ative votes polled at the last preced- ing national election. This would let in the small parties for their share.
 Politicians regard the scheme as Utopian, but are not at all certain whether it could be defeated if seri- ously presented to congress by the president
 The president has not developed de- tails of the plan. and may be con yinced yet of it's practicability, but he has talked of it with much inter- est and is thus far disposed to re- gard it as more than an impractical vision.
 Politicians say that if the idea should be followed to it's logical con. clusions it would eventuate in noth ing less than the creation of great election board possessing unlimited opportunities for corruption.
The Prescott daily news., 1907-05-24

TO HAVE the proper and legitimate | expenses of national campaigns paid from the national treasury for the different political parties, and to permit in presidential campaigns only a closely limited use of moner other than that drawn from the public funds, is the striking project which the president has in his mind as means of purifying national politics and preventing improper use of money drawn from improper sources.
 There has been much doubt wheth- CT the scheme of publicity after cleo ton, of campaign expenditures would be very effective. Practical politi- clans have protested that it is locking the barn after the horse is stolen.
 It would be required, of course that all money should be carefully accounted for, vouchers should be made and carefully audited. and the purposes for which it could be used would be limited to speaking, literature and or ganization-

not suffer seriously by the long period of immurement They are retired merchants and independently wealthy
 The fact that the jurors, from the death of the wife of Juror Joseph B. Bolton, three weeks after the trial be- gan, were allowed to go at the close of each day, helped only in part. Those who availed themselves of the opportunity to go to their offices were so overwhelmed with work that it was severe strain on them.
 Before the death of Juror Bottoms wife the jurors, when not in the court room, were locked up in the Broad way Central hotel. After that they were given their freedom after the ad- journment each day. Each adjourn ment invariably found the majority of the jurors hustling to their offices, to work until late at night.
 The jurors received two dollars for each days service during the trial.

THAW JURRORS SUFFERED
 LOSSES BY LONG TRIAL

NEARLY all of the jurors in the IN Thaw trial who recently failed to reach a verdict in the long drawn out case, experienced severe financial loss in sitting on the case. While the jurors presumed at the outset that they were in for long siege of it., none of them had any idea that the case would extend the length of time 1t did. During the trial many of the jurors, prevented from attending to business affairs with their accustomed regularity, suffered losses they can never recoup. Others fell far behind in their work, and it will be months before they can catch up.
 Besides this, the houses by which some of the jurors are employed as managers or in other responsible ca pacites found their affairs sadly lag ging, and financial losses that can not easily be estimated have resulted
 There were only two jurors who did

It will be Pop" Eyler stacked up against Wilhelm, and as these two twirl- CTS are the leading pitchers of their respective teams, the team which wins will doubtless take the long end by virtue of better base running and all-round base ball.

His sermons scoring the sins ol the smart set have created sensation during the past winter. The Farm Street church of the Jesuits has been filled with a fashionable audi ence whenever Father Vaughan was expected to preach. Members of high society seemed to be drawn as by a magnet.

MAY FINE OIL TRUST

Kenesaw Mountain Landis, judge of the United States district court in Chicago holds the fate of the Standard Oil company practically in his hands. Twelve jurors in his court recently found the company guilty of accepting illegal rates from the Chicago & Alton railroad as charged in 1,462 counts of the indictment on which the corporation has just been tried. Should the verdict stand Judge Landis can impose az gregate fines of $29,240000 or $20000 each count. If only the minimum penalty 1000 on each count be assessed the total would reach $l 000 the largest fine entered against a person or corporation in the history of federal courts.

NOTED TEMPERANCE

Francis Murphy, the noted temperance lec- turer, who recently reported to be going blind, in 36 years of work in his chosen field, has addressed about 23000 meetings, travelled nearly 100000 miles and persuaded 12000000 persons to take the pledge
 Francis Murphy is 70 years old. For some years he has made Los Angeles the base of his operations, and that promising California city looks upon him one of it's ornaments.
 Though he has not the mimetic faculty that made John B. Cough irresistibly droll, MT. Mur phy has all the humor that is Irish and a very pretty wit that is peculiar to himself.

 The charge is that the governor, without the knowledge and consent of the commissioner or public lands delivered to the Pennsylvania De yelopment company a deed for 900 acres of tim Der land: that he took the seal of the commis sioner and unlawfuly affixed it to the deed that the land is worth from $25 to $10O an acre, but was sold at only three dollars an acre, that the federal law at the time forbade the selling Of more than 160 acres to any one purchaser, and that therefore the territorial institutions to which
