could be expected, but | agree with
you that a great deal more can be
accomplished along these lines, II we
have the enthusiastic. intelligent co
operation OF all classes Of cur people,
and all departments working for the
common good.
Since the beginning Of my admins
tration In this department. the scheme
Of flushing the streets has been inaug.
urated We have at present six OF
the machines IN operation, and the
scheme has worked out most satisfac-
torily.
I hope to further increase the num-
Der OF my flushing machines. II the
funds at my command will allow.
Regarding the cleaning OF alleys,
desire to say that in the First and Sec
ond wards, have instituted weekly
collection of ashes and rubbish. This
has entailed considerable extra ex.
pense, but the results obtained. In my
opinion, are worth vastly more than
the cost. I hope and expect to effect
this scheme in the entire city. After
the first OF July. all householders will
be expected to furnish separate recep.
tacles for rubbish. ashes and garbage
I shall certainly enforce this rule az
strongly as can. but anticipate
some trouble until such time as our

new order OF things.

PRETTY SOUVENIR OF YOUTH
Sight of Purple Iris Brought Back
Happy Days of Childhood to
New York Woman.

IF You waut to feel like a child
again. said the west side woman,
go up to the corner of Amsterdam
avenue and One Hundred and
Fourth street, where the institution
stands that is familiarly known as
the Old Ladies' Home, and look at
the purple iris growing in the gar
den of the home. Blue flags we
called them when | was a child-the
ROYAL aeur de lis of France. There is
a thick border of them around the
beds of shrubbery, and it looks
strange to see them growing vigor-
ously in dry ground, for they belong
in the .rushes along the banks of
sedgy creeks-I can hear the tink-
ling waters yet and feel my feet cool
with splashing barefooted in the
brooks. In France and Italy these
flowers have the delicious lily fra
GRANGE, but in America they give out
almost nc odor-only a fresh, wet
smell, when you bury your face in
them. They are inexpensive flowers,
yet more beautiful than any orchid.
| wonder the florists do not use them
more.'-New York Press.

HAVE oVERSUPPlY OF WINE.

From Geneva it is reported that
wine is 8 plentiful on the shores of
Lake Maggiore from the village of
Brione to Orselina that it is given
freely to tramps who ask for a drink.
The poorest people leave a bowl of
wine on the window sill for all COM
ers. 1t is frequently reilled and
eyen the birds drink from it.
The farmers, in order to make
room for the coming vintage. are
getting rid Of their ordinary wine at
nominal prices. Parents give the
wine to their children, and teachers
complain that many Of their pupils
arrive at school in an inebriated con-
dition. It is rare to see a child
in the district without a little gourd
of wine slung across the shoulder.

ON THE DIAMOND


ed to get down to business, and
in the eighth inning Foehlinger
stepped to bat with a determined
air and landed a neat single, steal
ing second. Then Kelsey walked
and Ed. Poteet made first on a
passed ball and Foehlinger got
to third. With the bases full
and not a man out, Tom Poteet
struck an attitude at bat that
meant something and when he
landed on the ball for a home
run the crowd went wild. But
this was not all, for two more of
Jul boys crossed home plate and
the score was now 7 to o. In the
next inning there was some hard
playing but to no avail and Il
boys went down in defeat and the
agony was over.
But it was different in Wednes-
days game, and was so onesided
that very little interest was man
ifested. Each side scored in the
first, the visitors again in the
second, while our boys made the
circuit nine times. Score 9 to 2.
The visitors played poor ball
compared with the game of the
previous day, but we suppose too
much German day was the cause
of it all.
