Iv th' wurruld. In th’ first place, I
dismiss with a loud laugh th’ theory
that It was created In six days. I cud
make such a poor wurruld as this in

preposterous is th’ idee that it wasn’t

The stranger In New York who
should have occasion to make a trip
to Long Island via the Thirty-fourth
street ferry early In the day just now
would be likely to meet one of the
pleasant surprises of his life if he
walked through the street to the ferry
house. He would see one of the most
remarkable processions In the whole
world, a procession of men and wo
men. of boys and young girls, all
loaded down with flowers of the most
gorgeous hues.
For this Is the chrysanthemum sea
son, and the procession of flower
bearers comes from the chrysanthe
mum growers of Long Island and is
bound for the florists’ shops of the
metropolis. Not many visitors see
the ffhow. though, nor do many resi
dent New Yorkers either, for that
matter, since lit begins by 6 o’clock
In the morning or thereabouts, and Is
generally all over by half-past eight.
To reach New York by 6 o'clock
the flower-bearers must be up "be
times," as. In fact, they are, for some
of them are an hour or more away
from town by rail, and the flowers
must be selected, gathered and
"bunched” before the Journey to town
can be begun. If the early visitor to
Long Island were to remain there
over night and get up as early as 4
o’clock the next morning, he would be
surprised at the Intense white light
illuminating the greenhouses that
form so large a feature of tbe land
scape out there.
IJke everything else In these days,
the raising of chrystanthcmums has
been reduced to an exact science, has
been modernized thoroughly, and the
big greenhouses In which 1 the flowers
are grown are filled with electric
bulbs. Long before the hour of dawn
the current Is turned on that the cut
ter* may see to gather the flowers.
Sometimes tbe cutting is all over and

riiused away.
Any one not familiar with the flor
ists' methods as they are. might sup
pose the flowers would be shipped to
the New York dealers In boxes and
without special messengers, but both
growers and dealers have learned by
experience that the flowers suffer so
much by the ordinary methods of ship
ment that the extra expense of send-

ing them by messengers is well worth '
while.
The messengers are an interesting
lot. Some of the smaller growers aot
as their own messengers. Some even
send their wives, and many send their
daughters or their sons, but the larger
growers send employes. Nobody has
evqr counted them, but there must be
a hundred of the messengers all told,
and perhaps more. Each brings a
huge bundle —sometimes when the mes
senger is small of stature he will be
hidden completely by his beautiful bur
den, his appearance suggesting noth
ing so much as a huge walking bou
quet. Though the procession of (lower
bearers is a very prominent feature of
the streetscape, in the early hours of
the day just after the arrival of prac
tically every train, it rarely persists
beyond the middle of Manhattan is
land. . At Third avenue It begins to
disintegrate, some going north and
some south. At Fourth avenue still
more disperse to the upper and the
lower parts of the island, and by the
time the procession has reached Fifth
avenue it has practically all melted
away.
‘Some years ago, even in the days of
the chrysanthemum's greatest early
vogue, there was a notion that its pop
ularity with the world of society would
be shoW-lived, but the truth is that,
after more than a dozen years of fa
vor, it is this year more popular than
ever.
One of the reasons for this Is the
fact that the growers of chrysanthe-
have succeeded in doing some
thing which no one thought quite pos
sible, but which the growers of all
sorts of flowers sought to do. This
was the exact matching of a flower
the most popular shade of the hour, a
peculiar, new warm orange, the exact
duplicate of which Is to be found in no
other bloom.
Chrysanthemums, unlike most other
popular favorites, are produced only
in the fall, and so have no year round
vogue, but there is little doubt that at
this time of the year they have a much
greater vogue in New York than any
other flower whatsoever. The Ameri
can Beauty lxtse- holds its own the
year round. Despite the 'predictions
that its popularity would wane made
every year since introduction, it is
probable that more of them are
bought this year in New York than
ever before.
One reason for this is, of course,
that enough more of them are grown
now than heretofore to make them
somewhat cheaper. Not really cheap,
you know, but still, except at certain
seasons, within the occasional reach
WALL STREET GUARDING
AGAINST A RUNAWAY MARKET
Will Put on the Brahes if a Speculative Craze
Becomes Imminent. -
By W. G. NICHOLAS.
New York, Nov. 12.—The powerful
money Interests in Wall street have no
desire to see a runaway stock market,
and will unquestionably put on the
brakes should the danger of a wild
speculative craze become Imminent.
The election result is almost unani
mously construed In the financial dis
trict as a popular indorsement of the
“stand pat” principle, and a refusal
to encourage the Introduction of dis
turbing elements Into a comfortable
and healthful situation. At the same
time the need of repressive measures
is fully appreciated, and It may be
accepted that moderation will be in
sisted upon in stock movements as well
as in developments of every kind with
in the control of the leaders of finance
and trade.
Disasters of 1902-3 are fresh in mind
and every effort will be made to pre
vent a repetition. These disasters
were greatly Intensified by reason of
the riot of stock gambling and the flo
tation of watered enterprises. Car
ried away ,by the astounding progress
of national prosperity enterprising men
in every part of the country commit
ted the error of over-extension and a
hard season of enforced reaction and
retrenchment followed, attended by
tremendous money losses which fell
on the most progressive element in
every community.
A New Era Dawned .
The losses have been in part made
up and there has dawned upon the
country anew era of progress and de
velopment. A wonderful change has
come over the industrial and trade
situation within the last sixty days,
and the election verdict is taken to
mean a popular belief that it is to
continue. There is every promise for
low rates for money until well along
into another year, and by that time the
existing supplies of unsold railroad and
industrial bonds will have been ab
sorbed and capital realized thereon tor
embarkation in active channels. If the
public should engage in another stock
gambling orgie this programme might
be interfered with, a contingency
which will toe guarded against toy the
banking interests and their associates
in every possible w'ay. A return to
legitimate conditions will be encour
aged as a matter of course, tout never
for a moment will the necessity for
preventing over-stimulation toe forgot
ten.
The country will not bs allowed to
get drunk again on prosperity and go
to unsafe lengths. This In brief Is
the purpose and plan of the men who
run the large affairs of Wall street.
The speculative pools and cliques will
be restrained in their efforts to whoop
things, up and their operations will ba
curtailed and held within reasonable
bounds. This may not be to their
liking, but It will toe a measure of

of the moderate puree even. It might
toe supposed that this very compara
tive plentifulness of the American
Beauty would awise the moneyed
swells to throw It aside, that they
still show preference for it Is an evi
dence of its hold upon them.
The gardenia, as last year, is the
favorite bouquet flower and the most
costly, tout the carnation, the violet
and the lily-of-the-valley are still
standbys and likely to continue so.
The carnation is acknowledged to
be the most useful flower in the New
York market in the opinion of some
of the best known florists, despite its
lack of perfume. Always showy, with
out a touch of vulgarity, and hardy
almost beyond belief. Its vogue is
greater every year. There are, per
haps, 300 florists in the vicinity of New
York who make carnation Rowing a
specialty The marked preference of
the late President McKinley for carna
tions is, no doubt, somewhat responsi
ble for their lasting popularity, but as
long ago as 1593, a year before Mc-
Kinley's first election, they had made
a place for themselves, even then rank
ing next to roses as cut flowers.
It was only a few years before then
that they began to attract attention.
Most persons knew them then as
“pinks” only. Their blooms were
small, their stems were short and only
one who had made a study of floricul
ture and the evolution of new species
could understand their possibilities.
It might not be going too far to say
that the carnation as a society (lower
is not more than twenty years old at
the outside. The chrysanthemum was
brought into Europe from the Orient
in 1794. The American Beauty rose
dates back to the Grant presidency. I
never have been able to learn the ex
act year of its discovery, but the man
ner thereof is about as follows:
The late George Bancroft, historian
and scholar, was a groat lover of flow
ers as well. He lived in Washington.
One day a man named Field, then in
charge of the White House flowers,
paid Historian Bancroft’s gardener a
visit. Over in a corner of the green
house he noticed a rose of unusual
size and beauty. With seeming care
lessness Field made inquiry, and dis
covered that it sprang front a cutting
that had been given to Mr. Bancroft
bv Kaiser William the First, some
time before, when he was only the
King of Prussia. Field said he liked
the looks of the flower, and offered $5
for the bush. This was accepted, and
Field set about developing it; a year
later he sold the rose, which he had
named the American Beauty, for JSOO.

safety which the substantial and sane
interests heartily indorse.
What Gold Inflation Means.
There has come upon the business
community a better and broader under
standing of the significance of the ex
traordinary gold inflation which is go
ing on the world over. It is increas
ing the available supplies of money—
the best money ever put Into circula
tion—at a prodigious fate and this all
means higher prices and general busi
ness expansion. The present is the
golden age for. enterprise. No other
era In history parallels it. The prom
ise may not be so bright for fixed in
vestments, for with the enlarged sup
ply of money its buying power may be
come less and those whoso Income de
pends on returns from bonds, mort
gages and securities of that class may
not find their condition Improved, but
active enterprise must profit. A grow
ing realization of this trend affords ex
planation for the increasing demand
for securities having speculative as
well as Investment value. It accounts
in part for the growing Inquiry for low
priced railroad and Industrial shares
and gives ground for the confident in
vestment of money in that direction.
The Volume of Money Increasing,
Men who realized extraordinary prof
its in the buying of Atchison, Union
Pacific, Northern Pacific, Baltimore
and Ohio and other stocks of that
grade a few years ago have been for
quite a time back putting their money
into Rock Island, the Reading and
Erie issues, Southern Railway, Chesa
peake and Ohio and Southern Pacific.
They anticipate therefrom returns as
large as were made In the earlier In
vestments named. Not only Is the
Western and Southern country filling
up and the volume of traffic Increas
ing in consequence, but the volume
of money is becoming greater and the
tendency of quotations is uncontrollably
upward, as irresistibly so as the tide.
Minor disturbances and reactions will
doubtless occur, but they cannot af
fect the general grand result or stem
the universal movement. . The policy
of the leaders In the money world will
be to check and guide rather than to
attempt arbitrary control of the grand
movement, the Impulse of which every
body feels.

IS THE COMFORT AND SUPPORT OP OLD AGE.
The sincere and grateful tribute of Mrs. Tigue to the Invigorating and life-prolonging powers of Duffy**
Pure Malt Whiskey is one of the most remarkable and convincing on record. Klie sews, reads and is dependent
upon no one for the little services and attentions of old age. Mrs. Tigue's memory is perfect, and her eye*
spnrkle with interest as she quaintly recalls events that have gone down into history of the past 100 vears. In
stead of pining, as many women half her age. she is firm In the belief that with the comforting and strengthen

If you wish to keep young, active and vigorous, and have on your cheeks the roses of health, and retain full
possession of your mental powers, you must take Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey regularly as directed and avoid
drugs of all kinds. It nourishes the vitality no matter how weak or feoblo It may have become; feeds and en
riches the blood, and stimulates the circulation, giving health and power to body, brain, nerve and muscle.
The absolute purity of Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey Is attested by the fact that thousands of doctors and hospi

no fusel oil.

only measureably correct, for there Is
in reality no hard and fast arrange
ment except among a few of the really
big fellows who have a percentage
agreement os to a certain line. This
does not affect or regulate operations
of the Individual members of the syn
dicate which amount to more than the
collective deal. Some of the stories
told of profits realized by the share
holders In this campaign would be In
credible but for corroborative evidence
from many sources.
One phase of the pool's operations
has been heavy dealing In London
calls. Calls on Steel shares have been
bought to the extent of many hun
dreds of thousands of shares, a ma
jority of these calls extending to Jan.
1, next. On the surface It would ap
pear that London Is a loser for not
less than $20,000,000 on the boom In
American Steel stocks through sales
of calls. This is only on the face of
things, however, for It Is the practice
of title privilege traders In London to
buy against sales of calls and sell
against "puts," hedging all the way up
or down. The loss in that quarter is
really paper loss. The London option
traders can never go broke on the sys
tem they play.
New York’s Hull Campaign.
The manipulators of the bull cam
paign In New York have by their
wholesale purchases of London calls
forced the London speculators to help
them put the market up. They figured
with certainty that for every 100,000
calls bought in London that amount
of stock would have to be bought here,
which has proved to be the case, and
so the play has gone on. As It pro
gressed trade conditions Improved so
that the players and organizers of the
movement became themselves enthusi
astic, and are to-day almost unani
mously prophesying a record year in
the metal business for 1905. To them
everything appears rosy. As one of
them remarked to the writer: "Iron
and steel are crazy: copper Is crazy;
lead Is crazy: tin is crazy, and every
thing that enters Into manufacture has
caught the fever and is going wild.
I see only one wind up to this and
one conclusion to form which is that
t!he country is entering upon another
era of extraordinary prosperity.”
Wall Street Was Nervous.
Wall street was distinctly nervous
the morning after election. It feared
a wild upheaval and the giants of the
street came down to business pre
pared to deluge the market with stocks
If the necessity for so doing should
arise. Not for twq years has there
been such a genuine outpouring of se
curities. This action had the desired
effect for the time being. It stopped
what threatened to be a dangerous up
heaval. As soon as this was accom
plished the pressure was lifted and the
market allowed to slowly rise In obedi
ence to a very palpable desire of the
public.

THE VALVE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
in Preserving Heultli and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature, but
few realize Its value whan taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of It. the better; It is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present
in the stomach and Intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Im
proves the complexion, It whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is In Stuart’s Charcoal Lozen
ges; they are composed of the finest
powdered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics In tablet form or
rather In the form of large, plausaut
tasting lozenges, the charcoal •being
mixed with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much Improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of It is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad
vise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to ail
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowsts, and to clenr the com
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat. I also beliave the liver Is
greatly benefited by the dally use of
them; they coet but 26 cents a box at

inflict more ■ damage.
It will be the duty of these ships to
scout far out at sea. to gain sight of at
tacking fleets. They have not as much
speed as torpedo destroyers, but they
will be able to keep the sea better.
The service on them will be difficult
and exhausting. Quarters are provid
ed for 1 commanding officer, 10 ward
room officers, 6 warrant officers and 368
enlisted men.
DOCTORS HAVING AN
EASY TIME IN NEW YORK.
New Yorkers Have Reroute Suddenly
and Hopelessly Healthy.
New York, Nov. 12. —“Never saw
anything like it before in all my prac
tice,” said a doctor yesterday.
“I don’t think that the doctors of
New York ever hud a season like this
one. Some of them haven’t even had
an office call In the past month.
Everybody seems to 'have become sud
denly and hopelessly healthy. I've
just had a trained nurse In here asking
me what in the name of ail that was
good was the matter. She says that
she hasn’t had a case In two months,
and she thought, poor thing, that all
the doctors must have taken a unani
mous oath to give her no more work.
She is a good nurse, too, but there’s
nothing to do for her or for a lot of
others, either. It’s a good thing for
the public, I suppose, but pretty tough
on the medical profession and the
nurses.”
Here's another little Item about tbe
doctors. As many persons know,
though medical men and surgeons are
generally the most courteous and gen
tlemanly sort of men Imaginable,
medical students have about the worst
reputation going, so far as manners
go, especially when in the dissecting
room. Until very recently the stu
dents of a certain medical college In
this city bore especially bad reputa
tions In this regard, but within a year
there has been a radical change.
"This,” according to the doctor
quoted above, “is in my opinion due
almost altogether to the change of
environment which has been accom
plished within the last twelve months.
"Formerly the dissecting rooms of
this medical school were of the old
type—dark, with wooden floors, un-
Manltary, 111-ventilated and with plaster
walls. From the very nature of their
construction Is was not possible to
keep them clean. Now they are largs
beautifully lighted, with stone floors,
glazed tile walls and celling, and with
first-class ventilation. Formerly when
you went Into these rooms—when a
dissection was on—you found a rough,
disorderly, smoking crowd of young
men, little better, I should say, than
so many grown-up hoodlums. Now
there Is little smoking and no disorder
and the men are to all Intents and
purposes as gentlemanly as they
would be at an afternoon reception op
other social function."
