ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE, MONDAY. MARCH 21. 1S9S. PURCHASING OF EASTER. LILIES Time Shortening for Our Removal.

We must be out in 20 days. Can we sell the stock in that time We can if the people want dry goods and who don't? Dry goods no one can get along without they must be purchased every day. We think then that selling them at the prices we have put on them, that we can sell out in the time if the people know about the sale. This week will be the important one of the great removal sale of $350,000 worth of dry goods. It will be so because we find the time shortening when we must get out and remove to our Main-street store.

In view of this urgency we submit a list this morning that will be interesting to mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, housekeepers, hotel people, restaurants and all others using dry goods, housekeeping goods, shoes, upholstery, etc. Read it and then get them while you can in the next few days, for you will never sec such prices again. actly what he saw, and i the most positive language. Quite often he denounced men in public life, and this has created the popular impression that he was vindictive and uncharitable. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Only against hvpoe-risy and fraud was he intolerant and most justly so. With mediocrity in high places, posing as greatness, and uttering oracular commonplaces as wisdom, he could have no patience. And vet even in this he recognized his liability to mistake, and was ready to acknowledge it when it was proven. It has been said that Charles A. Dana was "a good hater." But he never hated men personally, lie made it one of the rules of the office never to make an attack on a public man except for sufficient public reasons.

This was one of the rules which Mr. Dana in an address to newspeper editors some years ago recommended to all newspapers. If Mr. Dana himself did not live up to this rule, it would make him a fraud and hypocrite, a character which he honestly detested with all the earnestness of his nature. And yet to the partisans who idealized, and therefore idolized, public men whom the Sun denounced, its attacks were sure to be regarded as prompted by vincictive malevolence.

They were indeed most severe. Sometimes when reading the Sun's caustic and sarcastic criticisms it seems as if the judicial formula LACE DEPARTMENT. GLOVES. Ladies lisle thread gloves, 15c pair; wort 25c. Ladies 2-clasp kid gloves, pique stitched, G9c; worth $1.

Smith's office to ask for the daughter. Mr. Smith is not so rich in dollars as he is in "cuss words." After he had invited his visitor to be seated, papa asked, "What can I do for you, sir?" "T-t-to tell the t-t-truth, Mr. Smith, I've c-come to ask you for your d-d-daughter." "Look here, young man." replied Mr. Smith, "marriage is a serious thing.

Florists, Church Committees and Flower Lovers Busy. A. FLORIST'S ESTIMATES Practical Hints From Leading Dealers How the Flowers Are Prepared and Marketed Effective Arrangements for Churches. Church Economist.

The florists are now busy preparing for the great special demand for lilies at Easter. To them, as to milliners, lent is anything but a dull and penitential season. Church committees and flower-loving niem-ers are also making ready for the beautiful displays that are such a feature of the peat festival of the resurrection. A representative of Peter Henderson Co. is of the opinion, formed after years of experience with flower culture from the jfdsman's standpoint, that orders from churches for Easter lilies should be left until the eleventh hour.

Said this dealer: Orders for lilies placed a month or more beforehand will not, as might be expected, put the purchasing church in the position of the gainer. The florist, or commission merchant, as the case may be, would be inclined to treat an early order with reservations; that is, he would base his calculations on a very safe estimate in view of the often wide fluctuations of the floricultural market. I should advise the purchasing church to withhold ordering till a fortnight before Kaster Sunday. If the flower committee keeps watch of market prices it might be well to wait until almost the very day before Kaster Sunday, thus insuring not the refuse, but the most perfect lilies. "There are two seasons of the year when there is an almost insatiable demand for lilies at Christmas and at Easter.

For these two seasons the growers of Japan and the Bermudas exert every effort to furnish an abundant supply. It is not generally known that the Japanese lilies are more highly prized than those of the Bermudas. The Japanese Easter lily is of stronger growth and is no less beautiful than the West Indian variety. Both are the liliuni longaflorum. There are two shipments from each of these places annually in the summer and early fall.

The bulbs sent in the summer are designed to be forced by our growers for the Christmas trade, while the Easter supply is derived from the fall arrival. will do well to place their orders with the commission merchants and the large growers. There are dozens of commission merchants in the city, and the headquarters of the growers is on West Twenty-eighth street, between Broadway and Sixth avenue. Some very discerning committees, who regard the results as worthy of the time and pains spent, might obtain the Easter flowers most reasonably by buying larger and smaller lots from the retail florists. There are few home raisers of the lily bulb.

The great majority of growers content themselves with potting, manuring, as the final stages of culture begun in other lauds." In city churches, especially those of the Protestant Episcopal communion, the matter of floral decoration for Easter is care-iullv considered weeks beforehand. A spe cial committee is often appointed, though tie tegular flower committee may need outside help. But the greater part the flower supply conies, not as a general order, but in the form of individual purchases. Very often a parishioner will give the same selection from year to year. The most general method of decorating the cruciform church, with the chancel of ordinary width and depth, consists in the banking of palms more largely at this season in large massen on either eide of the chancel, at the front, usually on the familiar stepped frames.

Smaller potted lilies are placed on the eteps of the altar, while an abundant quantity of cut flowers, principally lilies, cover the altar top. Many garlands are hung across the church, meeting the figure of a pendant angel. perhajs, at the ioint of intersection ii the ceiling. The baptistry is fairly crowded with flower. In the 'pulpit (Lurch" the task is simpler and the cost much less, though here there is ample opportunity for flower massing, within the ahar rail and on the kneeling-cushiourf jut without it.

Daniel J. Mackintosh, of this city, furnishes the Church Economist with the following flower rates, prepared with spfial reference to the church need and made as applicable art possible to the irt-i-eiit season's demand and supply: Easter, calla, annunciation, and all the ordinary varieties 18 cents a flower, cut or in a pot; azaleas, $-5 per dozen up; hyacinths, $2 a pot up; hydran-geas, .12 a dozen up; genestas, $18 a dozen up; Scotch heather, 30 a dozen; American beauty roses, a dozen; bride roses. a dozen; violets. 75 cents a hunch up; hyacinths cut), 75 cents a dozen; liiies-of-the-valley. 75 cents a dozen; daffodils, 50 cents a dozen up- mignonettes, .1 a dozen up; tulips, per dozen, single.

75 cents; double, carnations, 50 per dozen up; orchids, $8 per dozen up. Smilax garlands, 50 cents per yard-piece, with inserted white roses (placed nine inches apart), $2.5 a yard; palms, from 50 cents apiece Often pieces are contributed by the individual nicmiiers of the congregation in the form of crosses. It has been the custom of a parishioner of a certain city church fur many years to contribute for the Easter decorations a large cross of delicate blush carnations. The cost of this particular piece has always been hut for $25 a very tasteful design can be formed. MR.

Dana was great enough and enough to acknowledge any mistake he or the Sun had made. Once a cor-floiidi tit wrote of Boston brown bread as identical with graham bread, and the uncorrected, went into the paper, the next day Mr. Dana wrote this apol-''y: "I shame to myself for having jniitcd this thing without it. Ibe Sun is ignorant and wrong." Such frank confessions written by its editor not did not detract from its dignity, but a'l1ed to it. The New York Sun, like the great luminary of the sky, need not if spots occasionally obscure its briil-lancy.

Daled March 12. EDWARD W.

MULLIGAN, GEORGE A. A UN A I IAN, I Executors, when condemning a man to the callows might well be added: "May God have mercy on your soul." It is very important to American journalism that this truer view of Mr. Dana's character and methods should be generally accepted. Viewed as he has been by many as vindictive and malevolent, it has been an injury not only to the Sun, but to journalism as well. When Charles A.

Dana died the world confessed that America's greatest editor had gone. But it is demoralizing to the public, and also unjust to Mr. Dana's memory, to let this mistaken idea longer hold the popular thought. The secret of the Sun's success was not in its attacks on public men, but in the fact that these were never inspired by private animosity or other personal motives. It is the misfortune of many sensational newspapers that they are controlled by men too small to see that airing their personal animosities through their newspapers, is the surest way to destroy their influence.

Bold and outspoken every newspaper should be. But that does not mean sensational slambanging against those who differ from our own views, and who, mayhap, have as good reasons for their views as we have for our own. An increase of charity among newspapers for each other, and for those who differ from ourselves, is the greatest need of American journalism to day. It can be best attained by refuting so widely as possible the unjust views which many people still hold regarding the late distinguished editor of the New York Sun. HER EXPERIENCE IN NEW YORK.

Successful Venture of an Amateur Cham bermaid. Xew xork Sue. She looked like a high born lady and she no doubt was, though she was not attired in the purple, and there was a redness of her small hands which indicated their acquaintance with a kind of work the lady hand is not accustomed to. Withal she was bright and cheerful and not pretty enough to be unhappy because her beauty was going to waste, or she thought it was, as is the case with too many pretty girls who are poor. This one wasn't at all that way, and though there was no particular earmark of her native section it might be guessed from the fact that she was on a Pennslyvania train headed southward out of New York.

"I don't care, now." she was saying with a triumphant air, "who knows it, but I have spent all the winter in New York since the 1st of December and now it is March." "Many young women do that," replied her companion, a good-looking woman cf 40 or more. "But not quite as I have done. You don't know, but we are poor at our house, though we had plenty before the war (I mean my parents did, for I was not at home then), and I never had a chance to go any place nor to see anything. I had read about them all and that made me crazier than ever to go. Oh, how I used to dream about it and how I used to think if I could only be an actress and get out into the world! But' I couldn't, and I just settled down at home, with only enough out of the little property and life insurance poor papa had left mamma and my sisters to barely live on.

Mamma was proud and wouldn't let me work, for she said I didn't really need to, and so I should not. It was and 1 began to study up ways and means to get away and at last I hit upon an idea to write to one of the finest hotels in New York and ask for a place as chambermaid. I told a little story with it and. by the luck that nobody can ever account for in this world, I received a letter from the housekeeper telling me to come on and take a place if I could do the work. Then I had to coax mamma, but I did that, too, and borrowing enough money to buy my ticket with I came to New York and went to as they call it.

I had been my own chambermaid for so long it came easy, and then, being seme different from other chambermaids, I guess, I soon had charge of a floor and then I could get time to myself more than the others. I used every bit of it, too, in going to see pictures and theatricals and to concerts and to all those things one finds in the great city that is improving when one wants to improve. I knew I could not stay on at my work and that for three months I must get all I could to last me for I don't know how long in our littl? country town, but I have had the city experience and the broadening of it, ami even if I never get away again I have three months of living and seeing and hearing that are worth ten times over and over in what they cost of sacrificed pride and things of that kind so many girls would be afraid to face." Economic Uses of the Rattlesnake. New York Tribune. The mountain ranges of New Jersey and Pennsylvania abound hi rattlesnakes, which are turned by the natives to various commercial uses, and, though the reptile does not pay very well his residuary substances have some selling value.

For instance, his skin, if a largo one, is worth $1, and if sold to the summer boarder brings on an average about $2.50. It is made into belts, poeketbooks, slippers, and other articles of like sort, and is of a delicate ornate texture, with curious interlacing and imbrications showing how finely the original serpent was jacketed. Its oil is verv costly and has various uses, and its venom, still more costly, is administered in case of scarlet fever The market rate per ounce of the rattlesnake veuom is not precisely g.veu, but it is gh up on the schedule, and that is I'robably one reason why Hiram kate, of county Peun. wants to organize a rattle-tuC trust regulate prices and control nt The scheme is in harmony with output. tendencies, and, as curn nt com rH ha(i was of on ot i To Cure a Cold In One Day Rronio Quinine Tablets.
