THOUSANDS

You just can't get away from
it-that smell of tan bark-and
even today every time we see the
big tops going up and later watch
the glitterlng array of beautiful
ladies in pink tights on the wires,
that old urge to sneak off IN the
dark of the moon and join up
with the show comes sneaking
back.
Ringing Brothers and Barnum
and Bailey Circus will pull out
after final performance tonight.
The only way to get the lowdown
on the show is to get out to the
lot tonight and see everything
from the side shows to the main
performance.
That the circus has the same
pull as always. was demonstrated

that $4,000 persons passed into

GAIN IN CRIME
IS GIVEN AS
REASON
Stills Valued at Million
Will Be Destroyed This
Year; $1,000 to Be Jailed

Despite reports from many sec.
tions of the country pointing to
the increasing difficulty in pro
hibition enforcement the Federal
dry army of 1000 men made
more than $1,000 arrests and
seized about 1900 distilleries and
stills in the first four months of
1890.
Figures issued today by Prohi.
bition Commissioner James M.
Doran showed substantial in
crease in April arrests and
seizures as compared with the
same month last year, or pre-
ceding months of 1890.
Government agents arrested
b,912 persons, one of the largest
monthly hauls on record, seized
2.074 distilleries and stills and
captured ITO automobiles. Dis
titled spirits confiscated amounted
to 114,832 gallons and malt
liquors 376,601 gallons.
March Figures
March figures we're:
Arrests, $3.50; distllleries and
stills seized, 1877; automobiles
captured, 742; distilled spirits
confiscated, 1858 gallons, and
malt liquors, 473,lG7.
At the present rate of activity.
arrests for the year will exceed
$1,000, and seizure of stills will
be more than $4,000.
The probable number of stills
to be captured during the year
would have property value of
several million dollars. Many of
them represent the column type
OF still, which produces cora
sugar alcohol. the present chief
source of supply Of the boot
leggerS.
More Violations
Officials said the increase in
activity so far this year did not
represent any unusual vigilance
of the Federal authorities. 1t
was the opinion that heavier
arrests and seizures might be
attributed to more extensive vlo-
lation Of the law, as we'll as to
greater efficiency of the dry
army. The fact that the Treasury
will relinquish the duty of en-
forcement of the law to the
Justice Department July / has
had nothing to do with the more
effective operations, according to
officials.
An analysis of the statistics
probably will show there have
been greater arrests and seizures
in the large centers of popula-
ton, where the illicit distillers
have concentrated their operation,
according to experts. They said
more still seizures were natural
in the warmer weather, since in
the winter the Federal authorities
have been concentrating to a
greater degree on transportation
cases than on stills.

and in Europe, because it is a harder plant.
The Easter lily, or Bermuda lily, was originally
native of japan. More than 200 years ago
pirate sea captain brought some of the bulbs

as the Bermuda lily, and for generations its
care and cultivation were handed down from

hold gods of the island planter. Until very
cent years America was entirely dependent
upon China, Japan and Bermuda for bulbs Of
the Easter lily, but through painstaking expert
ments the United States Government has
learned to produce our own bulb supply.
Not only the Christians, but all other re-
hgions of the world have used the lily to typify
consolation and hope. The lotus lily is sacred
to the Buddhists and to it they dedicate cease
less prayers which are printed on parchment
and fastened to constantly revolving cylinders
in the great temples of T11ibet. From Egypt
to China superstitions and great love abounds
for the sacred lotus. Tradition also relates that
Judith, the Israelite heroine of the Apochrypha,
wore a crown Of lotus lilies when she went upon
her mission to destroy Holofernes. And all the
world knows that Cleopatra wore lotus blooms
in her hair.
THERE is legend old as Christianity, which
says that the Virgin spilled a few drops
of her milk on the ground, and from these drops
sprang the dainty little lily Of the valley, those
fairy bells that bring incense to the Spring"
But in some Of the old English country VII
lagos this precious little flower is called the
Ladder OF Heaven The ancient Druids be-

they used 1t at weddings to insure welded bliss

marriages were celebrated in the Spring, about
the time the lily of the valley bloomed Few
modern brides realize that they follow an an

The Gala lily can claim one of the most
beautiful legends of all the flowers. When
