EASTER LILIES

NEW YORK, April 9.-New York,
as is customary at the pre-Easter
season, has blossomed out into YER
table floral garden. EasteE lilies and
other spring flowers are to be seen
at every turn. Probably in no other
city of the country IS the custom of
floral decoration at Eastertide so pre-
valent as it is in the metropolis, The
shops of the florists display countless
thousands OF the typical Easter flow
er, but the display does not end there.
AT almost every prominent corner in
the downtown section, but more par
ticularly in Twenty-third street, Fifth
and Sixth avenues and in One Hun
dred and Twenty-ffth street in Har-
lem, hundreds of curbstone venders
convert the outer edge of the side
walks into veritable flower gardens.
And the gorgeous and vari-colored
display thus temptingly spread out
seldom fails to coax the dimes and
quarters from the passers-by
To supply New York market at
this time Of year the number Of East
er lilies required is far greater than
is grown in this part of the country.
The dealers look to Bermuda to sup
ply the deficiency. During the past
few days all of the ships arriving from
the islands have been laden to their
fullest capscity with Easter lilies.
The cargo Of one single ship contain
ed upwards of 10000 boxes Of the
fragrant buds. But the supply enor-
NOUS as it is, seems never in excess
Of the demand and the price at which
the flowers are now retailing in New
York is about The same as in former
years.

the Approval Of Majority Of the
Senators.

WASHINGTON. D. c, April o.--
For nearly FIVE hours today the bill
to provide for the 18th and subse-
quent censuses was discussed in the
senate. The message has been amend
ed since the original bill passed BY
congress and which was twice vetoed
by President Roosevelt because Of
the provisions allowing senator's ami
representatives practically to select
census employees. These features
icalled for general discussion Of the
subject Of civil service reform and the
present operations Of the law was de-
nouneed by several senators as the
amended bill places census appoint
ments under the civil service com.
mission. The new bill which will be
adopted will place all attaches Of the
census department under civil scrv-
ice rules. II is understood this does
not apply 10 the enumerators. The

clared Senator Smith of Michigan. in
discussing the bill, in which women
clerks are humiliated because they
permit petty chiefs to take liberties
with them that they cannot take
with other clerks. Senator Clapp re-
Iferring to Senator Smiths remarks
said they hinted at matters that could
not be publicly debated and he criti-
cized the general operationNof the law.
Senators Scott, Bailey, Gallagher
and Nelson all denounced the law, es-
pecially criticising the pending bills
which was amended by the commit
tee which included messenger boys
and chairwomen among those who
must be examined for appointment
for work in the census office. The
bill was still under consideration

NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, April o.-The under
tone Of confidence in the stock market
has been unimpaired this week. Some
restraint was evident in the dealings
owing to the interruption Of the three
days recess in prospect at the end Of
the week, The extent Of the previous
advance also invited some profit TAX
ing, with occasional reaction. The
Supreme court decision in the com
modities clause case, the government
crop report, the anthracite labor set
tlement the copper producers report
of March business and some other
events were awaited for the light they
would throw on future prospects. The
market showed continued disposition
to pass over such developments al
were unfavorable, as was shown in
the advance which followed the gov
ernment crop report Thursday.

SILVER KING DEED
 PLACED ON RECORD
John McCabe Now Has the Famous Old Property Right Where He Wants lt-Taking Out Rich Ore.

John McCabe returned 70 Phoenix on Sunday after several weeks spent in Los Angeles and vicinity, during which he has been doing things. One of his achievements was to raise the money necessary to secure the deed to the Silver King mining property. which has been in his possession for a long time. He brought the deed with him, sent it to Florence at~once for recording, and is now happy to say that the property is his technical ly and legally. as well as theoretically and by possession and part payment. unless the county court house has burned down overnight.
 He has been operating the mine right along with a small force of men, and is now taking out and packing to Globe by burro train the richest ore that was ever taken to the old Do- minion shelter. He has a sixty-burro train busy 9ll the time, each burro carrying over a hunded pounds of the rich copper and silver sulphurets. MT. McCabe considers the Silver King a bigger and a better mine now than than it ever was, or. at least, with a a bigger future, when he can get it properly opened up for work.
