MAMMOTH CARNATION.

Richard Diener, gardener, OF Colma,
assuburb OF San francisco, who has
been experimenting secretly with
flowers in order to ascertain how to
enlarge the size, has perfected gera-
MUM six inches in diameter. By re-
moving the pollen from single variety
of white geranium, and crossing it with
red one, Diener discovered that the
flowers will become twice the original
size, and by the second and third cross
ing he is able to produce a truss or
cluster OF blossoms from five to six
inches in diameter. The number OF
individual flowers is increased from
about % to 81, with color changing
from pinkish white to scarlet. Diener
has also perfected carnations four and
five inches in diameter, reared in the
open air. In the cultivation OF the
,lahlia, Diener has produced 81 distinct
varieties.

Election DAY Strike.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Oct. ga state
wide election-day strike was called IN
Pennsylvania today in an official cir
cular issued by the executive council OF
the State Federation Of Labor. Complete
suspension OF work is ordered from Z
o'clock in the morning OF November S,
until O'Clock that evening.
Every working man, the strike order
says, is expected to go 10 the polls
and vote in united independent politi-
cal action"
The unique order follows in part:
BE it known by these presents,
that the workingmen of Pennsylvania,
their friends and sympathizers, all be-
ing true believers in the democratic
principle of popular government, have
resolved to inaugurate statewide
election day strike.
The purpose of this strike is to
restore to the people of Pennsylvania
the government of their state. From a
political standpoint affairs in our
one grand old commonwealth have
become a disgrace to twentieth CEN
tury civilization. The black flag has
been hoisted over the ramparts OF the
money lords of the country, and the
only star OF hope TO check their
plundering lies in true awakening OF
the people through the force of united
independent political action.
The further triumph OF the black
flag means destruction Of popular
liberty and the establishment of an
authority bold and bloody in complete
power.
Our duty is therefore plain, and
all workingmen are hereby called upon
to make election day holiday in fact
as well as in name, and to gather at
the polls in an orderly manner and
work for the election OF trade unionists
to the state senate, House OF Repre-
sentatives, Congress and for all can
didates for state officers who are
friendly to the cause OF clean politics
and honest government to the end
that men, not dollars, shall rule i'll
PENNSYLVANIA.

EXANDRLA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT.

THERE seems to be an undercurrent
OF unrest in Paris. AS was stated IN
a dispatch from that city in the Gazette,
scarcely had the Chamber of Deputies
opened yesterday afternoon, with Nj.
Brisson presiding, when the united
socialists, MS the opening decree was
being read, discovered Project OF Police
Lepine in the carridor nearest their
seats. Immediately storm burst.
Desk lids were slammed and the mem
beers OF the party shouted in unison:
"Conspuze Lepine." Out with the
police spy" The uproar was kept up
until President Brisson put on his hat
as a sign that the sitting was suspended.
On the reassembling of the chamber
Premier BRAND created something OF
q sensation by declaring that he had
proof through confession OF the leader
OF the recent railroad strike that there
was deliberate plot to ruin France
by violence, anarchy, and civil war.
The socialist members denounced the
ministry for throwing the military re-
sources Of the country to the service
Of capital, asserting that such proce-
dure only increased the war among
classes.

The Missing Balloon.

Montreal, Oct. GA dispatch to the
Montreal Star from st. Hyacinthe,
Que, 40 miles southeast OF Montreal,
says that balloon was seen there Fri
day night. 1t carried red and green
lights and was moving at high rate OF
speed.
Fort William, Ont, Oct. ga. G..
Guerard, q mail clerk on the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, arriving here from the
east, reported that while passing Oui-
mette station, about 43 miles east OF
Fort William, he and two others noticed
the lights OF q balloon, which was going
north at height OF about mile.
They took it to be the missing America.
Ottawa, Ont. Oct. 26.-That Alan P.
Hawley and Augustus Post are still
alive although lost in the wilderness
somewhere in the Hudson Bay region,
is the confident belief of the govern
ment officials who are aiding in the
search for the lost balloon America II
and her crew.
Toronto, Oct. GA special dispatch
from Fort William today said three
men there have reported seeing bal
loon last night.
Quebec, Que, Oct. 26.-The most
likely OF all the reports to hand today
about balloons being seen, which
might be the America is one from st.
Felicien, in the Lake St. John district.
This place is forty miles northwest OF
kiskisink, and a yellow balloon re-
ported by several persons to have been
seen there could not possibly have
been either the Dusseldorf or Germania.

probable, the America won the Cor

NECESSITY makes strange bed
fellows" but one Of the strangest bed
fellow combinations is the temporary
political getting-togcther OF Roosevelt
and Hearst under the same sheets.
Apparently the Rough Rider has
arrived at the conclusion that the
reckless utterances" Of the Hearst
newspapers, which, in his belief, prob,
ably inspired the Mckinley assassi-
nation, were not SO bad thing after
all. Without the Hearst vituperation
there might have been no Roosevelt
succession. Without Hearst coalition
there may be no present hope of carry
New York and of further prolonging
the Roosevelt succession. This is
practical politics carried TO an extreme
that must inspire popular disgust.
