Central railroad, of which he is the
owner, says the Revillie. Mr.. Stokes
is one of the leading opponents of
Socialistie propaganda now gaining
vogue among the serious minded
millionaire class and is intensely in
terested in the remarkable campaign
now at full tide between Bryan and
Taft as affected by the phenomenal
Hearst.
Bryan had great chance for win

Mr.. Stokes. but the interference of
Hearst has all but made his case
hopeless in the Empire state. Hearst
is dealing some mighty effective
blows to both the old parties and so
far the net result of his work will
hurt Bryan far more than Taft. | am
indeed glad 10 see such corrective
and vigorous free lance as Hearst get
into the thick of the fight. He clears
the atmosphere.
Speaking of Nevada and the pos
sible return of boom times in min
ing. Mr.. Stokes said: 1T will be
long time before the boom times
of two years ago return TO Nevada.
Too many people including tender
feet and experienced mining men
rushed In and paid extravagent prices
for prospects. The big mining men
probably have gotten the best there
is in Nevada.
Austin seems to he in line for
new era of prosperity The COM
pany which is now promoting the re-
opening of the big mines here, seems
TO be going about it in bona fde
and practical way. With their in
auguration of electric power, there
are great quantities of ore that can
be handled at profit. which with
the old form of fuel was too low

FLOWERS DANGEROUS.
DEPRESS GIRL s. HEART

LONDON, March 23.-SeveraI cases Of
serious heart failure due to the pres
enee of hyacinths in living rooms. have
been recorded recently.
The latest instance was that OF a
healthy young girl in Bromley. Kent.
who, after sitting for a couple Of hours
in room in which there We're several
pots of these flowers. began to feel
somewhat faint Two hours later after
she had gone home, she fell into a
deep sleep. Her doctor stated that
the defective heart action, leading to
the insufficient supply of blood to the
brain, which caused the fainting. was
due to the effect Of the hyacinth scent
on the nerves which regulate the
hearts action.
Heavily scented flowers" said a
physician, referring to this case
should never be kept in any living
room which is not well ventilated The
heavy feeling which too many flowers
in close room are apt to give is due
to a slightly depressant action on tGe
heart If the heart is weak or .na1-,,c
ous,' and the perfume is sufficienti,,
concentrated, the heart beat NAV he
