Washington, Nov. 11.-Residents
Of the National Capitol every fall
enjoy a rare treat at the hands of the
Department of Agriculture, when the
we'll known chrysanthemum show is
opened to the public. The annual
chrysanthemum exhibition which has
just closed has attracted flower low
ers and botanists from afar and Incl
dentally produced several new types
of this flower. The stellar exhibit
this year was the "Christy Mathew
son." a huge white bulb of beauty.
1t is a recent creation of A. d.
Smith, of Adrian, Mich. The Man
haitian" and the Roman Gold" are
wonderful blooms of delicate pink
and rich yellow respectively. There
were over 100 varieties of large
blooms on exhibition and lao smaller
ones, the latter known as the out
door variety.
An innovation at the mum" show
this year was the introduction of ev-
| cry variety of carnations.

When Johnnie, who is going to high
school, came home that evening he
brought a bottle that he had bought
with hard-earned 10 cents.
Mother came home from downtown
and going up to her daughters room
she put two bottles Of Blanks toilet
lotion on the dresser. There, daugh-

high-power American electric fans is
displacing the lazy, droning pun
kah'' in the orient, according to a re-
port received at the State Depart

Anderson, of Hongkong. The pun
kah," Or overhead fan, hung from a
ceiling and agitated by coolies pull
ing it from side to side, is gradually
disappearing in the East, Anderson
says. American electric ceiling fans
are displacing the 'punkahs," but
there is no demand for the smaller
desk fans so familiar to Americans.
Within the last year $4,000 worth

"seaweed hats" are the latest fashion

Along the kentish coast white sea-
weed, washed up by the tides, is be-

marketed at a comparatively high
price. 1t composes a profitable in
dustry during the winter months. So
popular has the seaweed become in

cause of the ravages of growing weed

islation he attempts. During the
campaign just closed, Congressman
Scully referred to Judge Hughes as:
THE Guy that put the eight in the
eight hour law" This apt reference
to the labor record of Judge Hughes
made quite a hit.
Friends Of John M. Hannah, the
new deputy clerk of the Supreme
court, say he is an expert along two
lines. One of these lines is Demo-
cratic politics and the other is valu-
ing real estate. Mr.. Hannah lives
in Weehawken and for sixteen years
has represented that town and the
Hudson county Democratic Commit
tee. This has made him the party
leader In Weehawken and he has
been recognized, also, as a power in
county politics. For sixteen years,
also, the new deputy clerk has been
engaged In the real estate and insur-
ance business. Thirteen years ago
when only twenty-four years old, he
was elected tax assessor in Wee
haWken and has been reelected to
that Office uninterrruptedly ever
since. He has been noted for his in
sistence on equal taxation in his dis
trict, and has always claimed that
corporations and individuals should
be treated alike so far as the law
permits In all taxation matters.
During the past year, he was employ
ed by the state in connection with
the r~e-valuation of the railroad prop
erty in Weehawken. He has taken
an active interest in civic and munic-
ipal affairs since reaching his major
ty.

The Third Ward of Jersey City has
lost Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson,
former Secretary of State, as a resi-
dent. Col. Dickinson, who is one OF
the Republican leaders of the state,
cast his vote last Tuesday in the
fourth ward, of Jersey City, having
changed his residence to that Ward.
To the fact, largely, that he is a
blacksmith, Mayor Harris c. Whea-
ton, of North Wildwood, Cape May
county, owed his election as State
Senator from his county. Though a
Democrat, Mr.. Wheaton carried Re
publican Cape May county by a small
plurality. During the campaign one
of the Republican spellbinders who
was working for the Republican can
didate in a speech referred to Sena-
tor-elect Wheatan as Only a black
smith" The phrase reacted like a
boomerang and got Wheaton many
votes among the farmers and work
ingmen.
CONGRESSMAN Thomas J. Scully has
given to Judge William Hughes, the

Blue found that this was not sani-
tary, and got the Secretary to dis
continue it. The room is equipped
with hot water and lockers for the
tea pots. 1t is open for 35 minutes
each day and there is no ban ON gos-
siping.
Whether the women didn't like the
great amount of publicity that was
given the room or whether unofficial
tea drinking is doomed to failure,
cannot be determined, but the fact
remains that the tea room isn't pop
ular. Secretary MacVeagh will give
the plan a good trial and if it meets
with no more success than at present,
will probably close the up and
devote it to other purDOses.

sleeping between the cells, al
ready over-crowded with men
seeking escape from the biting
cold.
At the lodging house this
morning each man was given a
cup of coffee and a quarter of a
loaf of bread. 1t wasn't much,
but it was all the managers could
do.
A majority of the men were
working men out of employment.
Men who work on the railroads

At the United Charities it was
said that 1000 families were be-
ing cared for every day, and in
nearly every case lack of employ
ment made the bread winners of
the homes charges of charity.
I'm more than a majority of the
cases." said James Mullenbach,
assistant superintendent, "the
trouble is that the breadwinners
can't find any way to win it. From

ing present when the mercury
broke the record was dulled.
The United Charities, the coun-
ty agents office and other distri-
buting points of fuel and food
were unable to handle the NUM-
Der of applicants for relief. Set
Element houses, women's clubs
and private philanthropies were
beseiged and overwhelmed.
The scenes at the municipal
lodging house on Union street
were pitiful. Fifty persons were
given cots and blankets on the
third floor. They were FORUM
ate" ones. Another fifty were
packed away beneath the cots.
Fifty more huddled between them
three times the usual capacity of
the quarters. And where there
were no cots the men lay without
covering or pillows.
The second floor was a repro
duction of the third.
The first floor, usually recep-
ton room, was covered solidly
with a layer of sleeping human
ity, their only covering their
clothes, and their rolled-up coats
for pillows. In the basement $50
more tried to sleep. Seven hun
dred and fifty homeless men
twisted, coughed and slept ftful-
ly in the four walls of the city's
only fret lodging house.
At 10 o'clock the last available
space had been occupied, and a
hundred others were without
sleeping room, or prospects of
