8 FLORIST JUNCTIONS Nursers of Fair Flowers Meet to Interchange Their Views. Union Arranged With the Horticultural Society of the State. An Index of the Wealth of the Union Invested in Their Business. Interesting Papers on the Varieties and Treatment of Many Plants. The semi-annual meeting of the So ciety of Minnesota Florists was held yesterday afternoon and evening in the Emlicott Arcade. The choicest prod ucts of floriculture graced the presi dent's desk and delighted the senses of those who were in attendance. They evidenced the fact that Minnesota's motto is "Excelsior" in matters pertain ing to these adornments that nature and art produce here in such lavish beauty. Members of the society from the Twin Cities joined hands, and pave abundant information for their general welfare. They also heard very interesting addresses from A. W. Latham, secretary of the state horticultural society, and Profs. Green and Lugger, of the state experimental farm. Prof. Lugger's remarks, al though lengthy, were of extra interest to the floris s, who passed a vote of thanks in his favor. President E. Nagel occupied the chair; R. Weisliug, secre tary. With the reports of the secretary and treasurer disposed of, the question of having the organization become an auxiliary of the state horticultural soci ety was considered. The discussion showed that it was not intended to make one subsdiary to the other, but rather to ally their interests and work with each other, particularly in matters re lating to exhibits and premium lists at the state fairs. On motion of Gust MalmqUist three delegates are to be selected at the annual or summer meet ing to attend the meeting of the horti cultural society, which, it seems likely, from the opinions expressed, every member of the florists' society will join. Essays and. Figures. Most of the afternoon session was taken up with an entertaining pro gramme of essays in the following order: "The Most Suitable Roses for Market- Inc." Jacob Hart maun presented the names of twenty-eight varieties, as follows: Ever-Blooming — Perle de Jardin, Due de Brabant, Andre Schwartz, Cor nelia Cook, Souvenir de Malmaison, Queen of Bedders,Sunset,Marie Guillot, Mine, de Waterville, Ilermosa, Meteor, Agrippina, Souvenir de Ami, Charles Rovoili Jr., Etoile de Lyon, La France, Clothilde Tupert, Queen of Scarlets. Hardy (Spring) Roses— de Diesbach, Paul Meron, Capt. Christie, Magna Charta, Baroness de Rothschild, General Jacqueminot, Earl of Dufferin, Coquette de Blanche, Prince de Rohan, Mrs. John Laing. ; : "Is Our Business a Remunerative One?" Vice President Swanson presented the census figures showing invested capital in the florist business in the United States of $38,355,722.43, and an annual production of 11.805.72; wages paid annually to men, $7,954,827; ■wages paid annually to women, $525,530; advertising paid annually, $1,161,168.38; freight expenses, 088,012.41. The above lis outside ot the cost of 4,035 horses worth $463,500. Total expenses, $12,357,088.72; interest and profit, $13, --tN>4.717.05. , ; Mr. Swanson said concerning the census: "We know the above does not represent the true amount of expenses. There is no such profit in the business. Periods of bad luck and other losses are not accounted for."and he held that the business or a florist with 10,000 feet of glass would show about as follows: vestment, 10.0 feet of glass $7,000 Ground 3,000 Total .:.... .SIO,OOO Runninsr expenses would be $4,600 to $5,000 per annum, not including pots, seeds, etc., and that the place should bring in $1 per year for each square foot of glass in order to make a commensu rate profit. Me said: "The average of receipts now 1 is nearer to and little, if any, above 50 cents for each square foot of glass per annum, in the face of the census, which claims a return of 74 cents per foot per annum. We can't make money by the sale of bedding plants un der present conditions." John Vasatka explained why prices should be better in "the Northwest than in Eastern cities. Prof. Green spoke strongly iv favor of the Rosa Rugosa as a hardy rose bush that does excellently in this section. President Nagel also recommended the Agrippina and other tea roses. Technical Discussions. ••The Red Spider-How to Kill and Prevent His Appearance." F. G. Gould, of Excelsior, said: "I can hardly understand why this subject was as" signed to me, but can say. after consid erable experimenting, * 1 know of nothing against the little imp so effect ive as rinsing or showering with plenty of water. The red ant, like the tramp, hates water. But the ant likes a warm place, and on that account I think the underneath pipes in question tend to encourage him." Prof. Green and Wai ter Kerredge thought some overhead piping is good, but some piping is also needed underneath to warm the roots. Prof. Green added: "Vaporized sui- Perfectly Harmless. The only Coloring perfectly harmless, used in any quan tity desired, is Dr. Price's Fruit Coloring, for coloring Cakes, Custards, Ice-Cream, Jellies, Frosting, Confection ery, Syrups, etc. A small quantity gives a raspberry color; a little larger quantity a strawberry color; a little more for a bright red rose color. All reliable grocers, who sell Dr. Price's Delicious Flavoring Extracts, Vanilla, Lemon, Orange, etc., sell his Fruit Coloring. Try it and you will not be disappointed. All other Colorings are a danger to health. tPlso's Remedy for Warren, Is tfca 355} Best, Kasiest to TJse, and Cheapest"' f|§ Sold by druggists or sent by mail. I|i COc. E. T. Hazeltine, Warren, Pa. j||j phur will kill the red spider, but it must be used with the very greatest care." T _ . "Indoor Decoration." Walter Ker redge explained that in;. decorating houses with llowers so many require ments of the ladies and others have to be met in regard to the colors and plants needed for this interior or that interior that the artist must judge for himself when doing: the work. The ladies sometimes require the decorator to tako their methods instead of his own. "Carpet and Foliage Bedding." John Yasatka presented colored drawings, showing his plans for the municipal flower-beds of Minneapolis. While lie could not in the limited time go. into the details to show he brings out the floral effects, yet he gave those present numerous valuable points. Prof. Otto Luger presented a valu able scientific paper on botanical ques tions, treating particularly on the "feeding associations of plants." Col ored pictures clearly showed the rela tions of lichens and fungi to trees and of insects to floral life. Most of the illustrations were on highly magnified scales, and Ins remarks concerning the necessity for and effects of parasitic growths in nature opened a new field of investigation to most of the florists, some of whom said, in the subsequent discussion, that they would like to give more attention in the future to the mycelium required for plants and trees of various kinds. Prof. Luger designated the parasites as the part ners of the more important plants and trees. The Evening Session was well attended. The reading and discussion of papers continued, as fol lows: "How Can We Make This So ciety More Interesting and Useful to the Average Florist?" Gust Malmquist recommended an increase in the social features and the extension of sooial in vitations to employes. The paper called forth the appointment of a committee of three to act upon the suggestions. "Best Way of Marketing Plants." August S. Swanson was of opinion that "from a market where all growers come together, provided it is centrally and conveniently located. This is said in view of the department stores and other forms of concentrating business." In the discussion it was suggested that those connected with the city markets be interviewed on the subject. "Growing Pansies for Market." E. Nagel said to use the very best seed, plant In boxes three inches deep with drainage holes in the boxes. Mr. Nagel's paper was lengthy, and brought out some of the economic features of the question. "Are old. neglected plants worthy of better treatment?" J. E. Sten answered "yes," and gave numerous illustrations concerning plants that should have better care than is usually bestowed. "Hardy Perennials Suitable for Cut Flowers." Mrs. A. B. Underwood, of Lake City, Minn., in an interesting paper men tioned the following: Fuchsias, gerani ums, begonias, heliotropes, pteonies, pyretherum roseum, phlox, meadow sweet, astilbe japonica, and a dozen others. "Has steam heat proved itself superior to hot water?" President Nagle said: "1 have had experience with both, and can't say that steam works any better than hot water, but I think with the way we handle the fuel that steam is the cheapest." "Best Soil .for Growing Roses" was answered by It. Wessling, secretary of the society. He objected to sticky clay such as is known as brick day, but others thought the brick clay is quite desirable mixed with old manure' , "Can Express Companies Lse Held Lia ble for Delayed Goods?" President Nagel and Secretary Wessling said yes, but advised that receipts be taken for every shipment. In fact, Mr. Wessling had, he said, just collected §10 from the ex press company for a delayed shipment. Vice President Swanson held that, fancy chrysanthemums cannot be grown .* and profitably sold for $10 per 100. and E. A. Venzke said that the question, 1 " "Has the Past Year Been Profitable to the Florist?" was a , conundrum, which he was disposed to answer in the nega tive - . . •;. •-:.. : '--■■■ The" members seemed to be well pleased with the information gained through the meeting and adjourned at 10 o'clock p. m. Their annual conven tion will be held in September next. REPORT WAS RIGHT. Treasurer Reis Scans the City Railway Company's Books. City Treasurer Reis is now satisfied that the St. Paul City Railway company has not attempted any gross imposition upon the city in its return of gross earnings of last year for the purposes of taxation. He reported to the coun cil last evening . that he had "carefillly examined the detail of the receipts of each line in '. this city, and I find that the returns made of the gross earnings for the year 1891 are correct, agree with the statement as furnished by the company, and that this includes the earnings of the interurban line to our city limits, for which our city is credited with its proper share. ' 1 have also examined the - returns for the Minneapolis lines, and find that no such difference between the St. Paul and Minneapolis earnings does exist as reported by a Minneapolis paper, and which led to this discussion, said differ ence being one-third only of what had been stated.and is just what we had ex pected it to be. The reports, books and accounts are kept in a systematic, con cise and elegant manner, and will clearly show in detail any information that may be asked for. Mr. Lowry also staled to me that he is satisfied to have all the returns of the gross earnings hereafter to be made verified each year." . - ?

A Very Enjoyable Functibn, and Those Who Partici pated in It. The Fleeting* Bliss of Eloping 1 Webber Ended by a Se rious Charge. Mrs. Ehlies Firmly Believes That Her Husband Met Foul Play. The entire lower floor of the Weyer haeuser home on Summit avenue was converted into one beautiful audience room last night. Chairs were placed in the main hall, and a part of the audi ence overflowed into the drawing room, the dining room, and the reception room, which were separated from the entrance hall by the arches of the fold ing doors alone. It was a large audience that greeted Miss Evelyne Milliard's second appearance in St. Paul, and it was a sympathetic and discriminating audience. Applause was not lavished, but there was no dearth of appreciation, and the charming young reader more than justified the expectations her first reading raised. ftA Chopin impromptu, played with appreciation and in good styie by E. E. Murdock, was the first number of the programme, as announced by Mrs. Graves, who acted as mistress of cere monies. Miss Milliard was then intro duced. The reader wore a charming demi-train tolilette of white pompadour silk, the petticoat edged with a ruffle of chiffon. Sleeves of the same gauzy material veiled Miss Milliard's arms, and an artistic chiffon drapery was ar ianged on the V-shaped cor sage. The sleeves and corsage were garnished with old rose velvet ribbons. Miss Milliard's first recitation— for she called it a recitation, in the good old fashion, and not a "read ing," after the manner of the modern elecutionist— was "The Pride of Battery B." a war-time story of a little Southern girl, who came into the Yankee camp to borrow tobacco for her friends. "Out at Old Aunt Mary's," a tenderly pathet ic bit of reminiscence, came next, and was followed by Kudyard Kipling's "Her Rival," the complaint of ingenuous seventeen who is forsaken for worldly wise and fascinating forty-nine. Miss Milliard gave it delightfully, and in "Pat's Letter," her next selection, her clever Irish dialect was highly appre ciated. Miss Daisy Davidson, who has not been heard often enough in St. Paul since her return from Paris, sang Mar guerite's aria and the "Jewel Song" from "Faust." Miss Davidson was suf fering from a slight cold, but sang in a clear, sweet voice ot unusual resonance, especially in |the lower register. Mer gown was a heliotrope faile en traine. A puff of heliotrope velvet bordered the petticoat, and the sleeveless V-shaped bodice was trimmed with feathers. Constance Wool son's story of a noble dog, "Tom," was the recitation next given, and given with a certain suppressed excitement which made it very real to the listeners. .James Whitcomb Riley's absurd story of "The Tree Toad" was in a very dif ferent vein, but was given admirably. "Calisthenics," a sketch given by Miss Milliard on Saturday, was repeated by request, and to the minuet music from "Figaro," played by Mrs. Graves. "The Minuet," a dainty bit of old-time grace. was recited. Kiley's familiar "Jim," "The Gobble Uns" and "Prior to Miss Bell's Appearance" were entertainingly recited in the drawling lloosier dialect. Mr. MurdocK played a short and brill iant Chopin waltz, and then "Lasca," an unusual story of Texas life, cowboy love and woman's heroism, gave Miss Hilliard an opportunity to display her wonderful versatility. "The Photog rapher's Studio," in which the idiotic "baby talk" of a mother whose infant is to be photographed is mimicked, was the hit; of the evening, and with Riley's "Raggedy Man" the entertain ment closed. Miss Milliard's third reading will be given Friday afternoon at 2:30, at Mrs. Upham's, 47G Summit avenue. Some of the people who listened to Miss Hilliard last night were: Mrs. Al Sibley, Miss Louise Jackson, Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Lindeke, Airs. Greve, Mr. and Mrs. De Coster, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Schurmeier, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Wcide, Mrs. lie Puy, Mrs. F. Jay Haynes, Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rice, Miss Weide, Mrs. John L.

The time al lowed him to bask in the smiles of Mrs. August Farnholz was short. It will be rather a rude transformation from re posing in the arms of his inamorata to sleeping in the rough cot of a cell in the county jail; but this is his fate. He eloped with that lady last week, but is expected back this morning with Sheriff Bean. It was a rather hazardous vent ure for the runaway couple to return the little boy to his father Monday, for the officer got the scent of their where abouts, and the sheriff left yesterday for Eau Claire, and after a still hunt of a few hours found his man. Fritz is wanted for more than stealing another man's wife. Me also stole money in the way of stealing some of his em ployer. Contractor Latham's, funds. Mrs. Farnholz is also expected back, much against her wishes, and it is prob able that ere long the outraged hus band will have sweet revenge upon the guilty pair. FEARS FOUIi PLAY. Mrs. Ehlies Confident Her Hus band Has Not Deserted. A Globe reporter called at the home of Mrs. August Ehlies, at 80 South Rob ert street, yesterday afternoon. She is the woman whose husband so myste riously disappeared, as reported in this paper Sunday. The woman was pacing anxiously up and down the room carry ing a three months' old baby in her arms. Her face brightened some when the reporter introduced himself and at once came the query: "Have you news from my husband?" When told that the call was only made to get the same information from her she be came gloomy and restless again. Mrs. Ehlies is a young woman of prepossess ing appearance, but the grief she has undergone of lale is visible on her re markably pretty features. This is the story she told of the man who is either dead, or kept from her by some strange accident, or perchance deserted his young wife: "We were married nearly two years ago," she said, "aud my husband has always been very kind to me. He used to make frequent trips from the city buying cattle, and would return and sell them at the stockyards. It will be five weeks this Thursday since he left home. He had been very sick with the grip and was recovering when a man name 1 Taylor called here, and they arranged to go to Knapp, Wis., the next morning. Taylor is a married man, and said he lived at that place. My husband owed him some money, and I heard him ask for it. They talked for a while and my husband said he would pay it. The next morning they went away. Mv husband left me some money and said to pay the rent, which was' due, and I would then have enough money to last me until he returned, as tie would surely return by the next Wednesday. That is the last I have seen of him. 1 know he has not de serted me, for he was greatly attached to our baby boy. He never failed to re turn when ha said he would before. Some time ago he was absent three weeks, but wrote ma why he was de layed." Relief Agent Hntchins has Jcalled on the woman and will see that she wants for nothing, and it was stated last nig:it that the case was to be given to the Pinkerton detectives. Ehlies took con siderable money with him, and this is the strongest argument that he has met with foul play. A Liovely Luncheon. One of the prettiest luncheons of all the season was the one given yesterday at 1 o'clock by Mrs. Charles Mclntyre at the Aberdeeu. The guest of honor was Miss Evelyn Hilliard, the charming young reader. Covers were laid for twelve, and the table was dressed dain tily with the favorite flowers of the sea son and feathery ferns. The society women invited to meet Miss llilliard were Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Lane K. Stone, Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Furness, Mrs. Han nafonl, Mrs. Pope, Mrs. Potts, Miss Cook and Mrs. Abbott. Had Better Show Up. John Ludgreen, proprietor of a bowl ing alley on University avenue, mads an assault with a knife upon Patrick Naughton one day last week for which he was arrested. *He had his case con tinued in the police court until yester day afternoon, and was released on his own recognizance. Naughton was brought in from the workhouse to tes tify yesterday afternoon, but Ludgreen failed to appear. A benen warr ant was issued for him, and matters will be much worse with him when he is again arrested. OP LAST RESORT. The Supreme Ceurt Makes Shut tlecocks of Lower Court De cisions. The supreme court handed down the following decisions yesterday: William 11. H. Spafford, respondent, vs. Du luth. Red Win? & Southern Railroad Com pany et al., appellants Order affirmed. DICKENSON. J._ The mechanics' lien law, as amended in 1874, construed as giving a right of lien, not only to sub-contractors for the construction of a railway, but to sub contractors in the second degree. EmmettP. Browning, assignee, etc., appel lant, vs. William 11. Iliukla, respondent. Order reversed. Dicke. jo.v, J. The declarations or representations of individual directors or officers of a cor poration, relating to its affairs, but not shown to have been made in the course of or connected with the performance of their authorized duties as agents, are not binding on the corporation. Stephen C. Rugland, appellant, ys. Carrie Thompson et al., respondents. Order affirmed. Dickexsox, J. Matters of account in favor of the maker of a promissory note, and which might be set off against it. do not con stitute payment of the note. Other wise, if there is an agreement, express or implied, that they shall be applied in payment. The payee and holder of a promissory note having accepted from the maker certain personal property and services, proof is admissible that it was orally agreed when the note was made that whatever should be thus supplied to the payee should be applied in pay- : ment on the note — such evidence being admissible not to vary the agreement expressed in the note, but only as bear ing upon and characterizing the subse quent delivery and acceptance of the property aud services. A part of the consideration for a promissory note be ing the price of property sold by the payee to the maker with warranty, the latter may have applied in reduction of the note the damages suffered from breach of the warranty. John Roberts, respondent, vs. Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Com pany, appellant (two cases). Judgment andorder affirmed. Dickenson J. When the defendant in an action in a state court iiles in tlm office of the clerk, the court not being in session, a peti tion and bond for removal of the cause to the circuit court of the United States, it is also incumbent on him to direct the attention of the court to the fact. The making of a motion to set aside a judg ment on the ground that the court had not jurisdiction to render it does not give validity to the judgment, follow ing Godfrey vst Valentine, 3'J Minn., 336. The validity of a judgment ren dered in a state court after the cause has been removed is not affected by the subsequent remanding of the cause from tne federal to the state court. Any contest contiainug the facts alleged in the petition for removal must be deter mined in the federal court^. Patrick McCarthy, appellant, vs. Lehigh Val ley Transportation Company, respondent. Order affirmed. Dickinson. J. The case considered as showing that the plaintiff was chargeable with negli gence contributing to his injury, he having been injured while standing in the hold of a vessel under an open hatchway, through which freight wss being lowered into the hold, after hav ing been warned by nn officer of the ves sel against standing in such a position.
