THE FLORAL
Now, one may siend several months In
taking In the various fiestas and carni
vals of California. Santa Barbara has
its flower carnival; Paradena, Its tourn
ament of roses, Riverside, Its orange
day; San Bernardino has an entertain
ment of Its own, and even Phoenix. In
Arizona, Is coming to the front this
month with an elaborate Midwinter
carnival which will attract many vis
itors from this section. Then, the cities
In Central and Northern California
caught the Infection, so that there will
coon be a round of festivities covering
the entire year, each affair being dis-.
tlnct from the others in its local col
oring. THE CITY TRANSFORMED.
The scene during the fiesta of last
year will not Boon be forgotten by
those who were so fortunate as to wit
ness It. The City of the Angels was
transformed .as If by magic from a mere
earthly habitation of wood, brick and
Btone, suited to the needs of the sober,
work-a-day world, to a fairy realm. In
tlnct with the glowing brilliancy of the
outhland and rioting with all the
tropical luxuriance of color that adorns
this land of olive blended with the gold
of the orange and the burning ruby of
the wine in great sweeps of color that
enfolded the entire city. Palm leaves
spread their lusty breadth along the
avenues, and refreshed the sight with
their cool green, while in the midst of
fthis splendor of the tropics a hint of
other climes was given In the feathery
wreaths of evergreen that filled the air
with the aromatic fragrance of the
northern forests.
Under the sunny southern sky. the
effect was indescribably brilliant. Alany
of the schemes of decoration were very
daring, and nearly all were effective.
The colors of La Fiesta were every
wheregay canopies and awnings
shaded the sidewalks, and bold, sweeps
of the brilliant drapery adorned the
facades of nearly all the large build
ings. The official colors of the Fiesta
are red, green and yellow, an appro
priate combination, signifying the
olive, the orange and wine, three of
the leading products of Southern Cali
fornia. WILL SURPASS IT.
Beautiful and interesting as the
Fiesta of 1895 was, that of the present
year promises to far surpass it. The
management Is in the hands of a com
mittee of representative citizens chosen
from the three leading mercantile as
sociations of Los Angeles, the Cham
ber of Commerce, the Board of Trade
nd the Merchants' association. A
much larger sum of money for ex
penses has been obtained than was
collected last year, the citizens of Los
Angeles showing great liberality, as
they usually do when It is a question
of advertising the interests of the
beautiful city of which they are so
justly proud.
The street decorations this year will
be more elaborate and artistic than
atver before. Including a number of
triumphal arches at the principal

chosen from among the most beautiful
and graceful of the yoefet? ladies. ' 8he

evening of that day. the queen will

monial of the Fiesta will take place.
STREET PARADE.
On the afternoon of the following
day, April 22. which marks the real
beginning of the Fiesta, there will be
a street parade In honor of the queen.
It will be comDOsed of a great variety
of floats. Indicative of the prosperity of !
this section; also, Spanish caballeros ;
on prancing steeds, in picturesque i
Mexican costumes; a military display; ;
Indians from the surrounding country j
and Arizona: and the Chinese proces
sion, furnished by the Chinese mer- I
chants of Los Angeles. This Chinese
parade has been hitherto the most
brilliant and picturesque feature of all
PARADE.
the glittering pageant of La Fiesta, the
celestials turning out In royal style.
The barbaric splendor of their parade
was most Imposing, not a scrap of
tinsel or cheap, gaudy material being
used. The exquisite embroideries of
gold, silver and bronze and the gay
silken draperies and garments were of
the finest texture and richest material.
It was like a bit of the "Arabian
Nights" dropped bodily into the busy,
bustling western world. .
In the-evening of that day.- there
will be a grand concert at the Pavilion..
On the afternoon of April 23. athletic
performances will take place , at the
Athletic park. Including Interesting
Indian races and games, and a tourna
ment. In-the evening the great illumin
ated street pageant, one of the leading
features of this year's carnival, will be
witnessed. The management devoted
much arirfious thought to the selection
of an appropriate and Interesting topic
upon which to found this pageant.
The subject selected was chosen by a
"LANDS OP
Los Angeles lady,, and will prove a
most effective one,' beside being ex
ceedingly appropriate. ., It Is "The
Lands of the Sun." Southern Cali
fornia is pre-eminently the land of
sunshine and flowers. Hence, It Is
lifting that the two leading features' of
the Fiesta should have reference to
the sun and the floral kingdom. An
old Spanish writer has said that "Los
liaises del sol dilatan el alma," "The
lands of the sun expand the soul." With
those countries In which the sun has
played a prominent part with Persia,
Egypt, Hindustan, Spain, and else
where this pageant will deal. The
numerous floats are being constructed
in a most artistic and elaborate man
ner, by a master of this line of work.
When resplendent with burnished gold
and colors, and surrounded by histor
ical figures correctly costumed, they
will certainly present a spectacle of
wonderful and impressive magnlll-
cence
lights.

On the afternoon of the dosing day
of the Fiesta. April ia. take place the
celebrated floral parade and battle of
Mowers, which, to a majority of the
visitors from colder climes. Is the most
Interesting feature of the carnival It
Is, indeed, a wonderful sight, and one
that is alone worth a trip to Los An
geles to enjoy. Imagine several miles
of vehicles of every description, from
a rhild'a goat cart to a big six-horse
tally-ho coach, all decorated In a most
lavish and artistic manner with every
variety of flower and foliage that grow
so luxuriantly In Southern California.
The bodies of the Vehicles, the wheels,
the harness, and every part to which
a flower can be attached thus decorat
ed, so that the carriages look like mov
ing bowers of beauty. As a rule, each
driver selects some particular variety
of flower, all attempting to outvie the
others and win one of the prizes offered
for the most tastefully-decorated ve
hicles of each class. Even the
mounted policemen, who lead the pro
cession, have their horses and sad
dles decorated with flowers. The
drivers and riders In the precession
are dressed in brilliant harmony with
the decorations. Among the tnuch-ad-mired
features of last year's floral pa
rade was an Irish Jaunting, car. decor
ated In green and white colors smllax
and calls lilies. There was a float dedl-
orated with 1.D0O or these delicate lines.
One four-horse coach was absolutely
covered from stem to stern with roses
of the choicest varieties, the occupants
of the coach being attired In Louis
XV costumes. A six-horse coach was
completely covered with sweet peas,
relieved by tracings of smllax. It was
accompanied by two outriders and a
bugler. A victoria was decorated with
orange-colored marigolds, the harness
trappings and reins being wrapped in
orange-colored ribbon. . On one T cart,
the decorations consisted entirely of
pampas plumes. It would, however,
be impossible In this limited space to
even enumerate the greut variety of
attractive- features Included in this
floral parade, which Is likely to be ex
ceeded In beauty this year;
The evening of this day Winds up
with a grand parade and carnival of
maskers on the principal streets;
Thousands of citizens, male and female,
attired in grotesque and picturesque
costumes and masks, promenade up
and down the leading thoroughfares.
Indulging In lively but good-natured
raillery and humorous sallies. It Is an
occasion, upon which everybody relaxes
and everything "goes."
THE CRIME MICROBE.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The Crime Microbe has turned plunger
in this Christian country here of late and
THE SUN.'
Is going It with deadlier effect than a
squadron armed with machetes. Drastic
remedies would, at first glance, appear
to be In order; but a long course of moral
sanitation will In the end prove more ef fective.
Neighborhood work In the causo
of decency is needed constantly. Every
village, town and city should seek to keep
Itself morally clean and the Innumerable
Imi'lHI of evil doing may thus be sterilized
spot by spot.
BRICKS OF GLASS.
A Couple of Interesting Samples from
Europe.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Some samples of Talconnler's brown
glass bricks at the Franklin Institute
have attracted much attention. These
have been used in France and Germany
for more than five years, and should
not be confounded with the solid blocks
of glass formerly used with little suc
cess for similar purposes. Falconnler's
blown glass bricks are very light and
very strong. They aret In fact, hollow
chambers, so shaped as to facilitate
their being put together like other
building blockss, and a-e laid so as to
present an ornamental - appearance.
Made in this fashion the bricks till suc
cessfully the part of double windows,
with an air chamber Incased in a
double glass wall, and they are conse
quently an efficient . preservative
against cold as well as against heat,
and good Insulators of dampness and
noise.
, The bricks are hermetically sealed
ivhile yet hot, thereby preventing for
eign substances ' or ' dust from soiling
the Interior, and they are then an
nealed to increase their powers of re
sistance. The laying of the bricks is
plain brlckluyers' work the vaults be
ing constructed over a center of wood,
heavy, lime mortar, or light cement
mixed with fine sand being used after
the whole width of the Joint around
the brick has been covered with a layer
of sizing of a light tint, that can be
varied according to taste, so as to ob
tain nice effects of changing colors, If
desired. The glass bricks, it is said,
are used with good results in the con
struction of greenhouses and conserva
tories, as they retain the stored heat
for a long time; consequently a con
siderable economy, of fuel is realized.
Uniformed ' colored porters are in
charge of day coaches to show all atten
tion to the passengers on the Nickel

WORLD OF
AN AkMFtlOF NOVELS.
For an ex-minister. It must be ad
mitted that S. R. Crockett possesses
an uncommonly Intimate . familiarity
with the ways and means of society's
nether half. In "Cleg, Kelly" ..New
York: D.' Appleton ft Co.) he has given
us a Celtic Chlmmle Fadden, with
something more than the American
Chimmle's proficiency In slang, pronft
nesa to mischief and expertness in the
tricks of slumdom, and ptrhana. too,
with Oner vein of underlying charac.
ter, when once it la fairly reached,
ter, when once it is fairly reached. Cleg's
father ia a. burglar; his mother, while
he Uvea which, owing to husbandly
abuse. Insufficient food and general
misery, Itn't long a patient, long-suffering,
deceived woman, anQ his daily
companion the leather-lunged bipedal
terriers and toughs of tho seamy por
tion of modern Edinburgh. Reared In
such an environment one would nat
urally expect Cleg Kelly to go quickly
to the prison or the gallows. That is
probably what Mr. James, otherwise
known to the scholars of Hunker court
Sunday school, over which he presided,
as "Pund o' Cannles" Lugton, thought
when one Sunday Cleg. In response to
some conventional religious Instruc
tion, blurted out: "It's all a dumb He
aod dead!" And for a time Cleg
gave high promise of fulfilling this
matter-of-course destiny, especially af
ter he had found out what a worthless
scoundrel his father was. But he didn't.
He confounded the probabilities by de
veloping, with much intervening wealth
of amusing circumstances, into a first
rate citizen, pranky and fun-loving to
tne lust, out at oottom as true and as
sound as gold. In the deulctlna- of this
character, and of the host of other per
sons, goou, oaa anu inuirrerent, who
figure from time to time in the book's
four hundred pages, Mr. Crockett has
revealed anew his superb sense of hu
iw. hU grasp upon humanity and his
freedom from time-honored trammels.
The reader who takes up this novel
must not expect to read anything re
sembling anything else in the whole
realm of Action: but he must expect
to keep the book before him until ho
shall have exhausted the very last
page, for there's no laying it down un
finished. II II 'II
We have received from Dodd, Mead
& Co., New York, a copy of ''Dedora
Heywood." by Gertrude Smith, which Is
so well reviewed In the New York Tri
bune that we cannot do better than to
copy what that Journal says. It speaks
of Miss Smith's little story there are
only 1B.000 words to it, all told as a
portrayal of "the tragic consequences
of unorthodoxy in a small New Eng
land town," and continues:
'Socially speaking, fate did not smile on
Dedora from the time she returned to her
native village after a six months' visit
to the city. The city had had its effect
en her manner of dress, but more particu
larly It left Its mark on her religious be
liefs. Formerly she held with Brother
bow an that God presented Himself chief
ly as the avenger, as the God of condem
nation and anger. When she returned
from the city she scandalised the minis
ter by asserting that she had suffered a
change of heart. In consequence of which
she was forced to deny that the concep
tion of the Almighty as the God of Love
admittedtheldeaofthe power of evil. "You
have become a I'nlversullst," observe
Brother Bowen. And Dedora does
not deny the charge. The social
complications to which this change
of faith lead, are Kketched by
Mies Smith with considerable skill and
originality, despite the. constant sugges
tion that she Is encroaching on ground al
ready occupied by Miss Wllklns. The
romantic clement Is supplied In the person
of one David, a transcendental dreamer,
whose religion is a matter of forests,
spring flowers and nature generally. He
has wanted to marry Dedora for a long
while, but she has steadily refused him on
the ground of their differences In matters
of religion. The obstacle Is not entirely
Nnd afi.ir Dedora' s chanae of heart.
but a compromise Is agree J upon, and
then David I hi" Ufe- y falling
through a hole In the Ice. As a sequel
to his unforeseen catastrophe, Dedora
goes to live In his old house, and de
votes her life to deeds of charity.

"A Chord from a Violin" by WInfred
Agnes Haldane (Chicago, Laird & Lee)
Is the autobiography of a rare old in
strument, passing from the hands of its
maker and owner only when, he being
near to death, his daughter sold It (the
last of many) to buy him bread. Hes
ter, the daughter, Is taken Into the
house of the man who bought the vio
lin. Her voice is trained and she be
comes a great singer. Some years af
ter, while singing, she hears and recog
nizes the famous old violin in the or
chestrathe property of a poor young
man. That recognition leads to a pa
thetic little romance, in the working
out of which the author exhibits deli
cacy of sentiment and fine appreciation
of the emotional complexities of the
feminine nature. The sketch Is slight,
but artistic,

The novels of George Ebers, as trans
lated into English, Impress one as hav
ing a good bit of inherited Teutonic
roughness, but in that characteristic
lies proof that they are In the main
true to their subjects and to their en
vironment. "In the Blue Pike," which
the sub-title informs us is a romance
of German civilization at the com
mencement of the Sixteenth century,"
is not an exception to thisrule. The
tone of It is harsh; the colors are dark
and forbidding, and the end comes in
tragedy; but for all that the author's
study of life and manners of this period
In point Is skilful and informing. Tho

The author of ;'Vlews of English So
ciety" has chosen for the theme of her
latest work, a small novel called "In a
Silent World" (New York; Dodd, Mead
& Co.) the introspection of a soul pent
up. prison-like, between the walls of a
great affliction, that of deafness and
muteness. The heroine writes touch
Ingly In the first person singular, and
puts down with that acute frankness
inevitable when confidences have only
one vent of expression, the pen, the
story of her simple love, which ends
sadly enough and yet withal logically,
in sacrificial death. The experiment Is
a new one In Action, but exhibits great
fidelity to its subject and is in that
sense, if in no other, highly success
ful. II II II

The following characteristic letter, writ
ten by the late Thomas Hughes to a young
American, has Just been brought to
light:
"Dear Boy (for you must be a boy still):
You ask whether Tim Brown was 'a
real boy,' as 'it would be so much nicer
to think that he was a real bov than to
know that he only existed in a storv.' No
he wasn't a real boy (unless. Indeed, on
your side 'boy' Is a noun of multitude).
He was (and t hope is still, and so far
as an old boy of 73 can Judge, certainly
is) at least twenty boys, for I knew at
least that number of T. B.'s at Ruf.by,
and there were no doubt as many at a
dosen other of the public schools.
"What I wanted was. to draw the aver
age English boy, who came from a good,
pious English country home, not particu
larly clever or' studious, but with good
church-catechlBin training which wouldn't
lot him be an idle loafer, though he mlitht
look on the masters as 'the other side'
in the education game, and so long uf
they played the game fairly would re
spect and like them, as he did 'the other
side' at football.
"If you want to meet a specimen cr
your side you will And one of the typr
st Hymen ranch In the Pan-Handle of
Texas, where our youngest boy is th
managing partner of a cattle ranch. H
never could take kindly to Latin, Greek,
or mathematics, but learned 'to rid,,
shoot and tell the truth,' which was (ac
cording to Herodotusl considered the best
result of the higher education among the
persons of 2,000 years ago. Almost all of
such boys get fond of good healthy litera
ture later on, and regret that they didn't
'sap' at school, but I doubt whether thev
would have made half ax good english
men even If they had learned to turn out
good 'longs and shorts' or Greek alcalcs
before they left school. Yours very truly,

Of the mowers whistling bright and

From IS Aw fro,
BEV. WILLIAM TUCKER,
It was publicly talked all over Decatur
and Ripley counties for some time before the
jVrip Am sent a reporter to FierceviUe to
flilly investigate the Tucker matter. The
Tuckers are "prominent people and are all
well-to-do farmers. The Rev. William
Tucker, subject of all the talk, was pleased
to allow us an interview. Mr. Tucker
looked well and healthy, although he is
seventy-five years old, nud forty years ago
he began preaching in the faitlt of the Free
Baptists. This is his story as he told the
reporter: '
" I was born and reared on a farm and be
gan preaching at an early age. I was al
ways subject to rheumatism, even when
quite youni;. Pains, sharp and acute, would
shoot across my body, causing me much suf
fering. The doctors pronounced it then a
ninitl disease. The pu ins kept renin? worse
all the time from dav to day as tho years
rolled round, and I experienced many years
suffering.
"Although I much regretted to, I vras
compelled to retire altogether from my
work in the rcliirious cause. The pains
would first start from mv tnine and limbs.
but afterward begun shooting from all parts
of the body and it seemed as though a thous
and knives were sticking me. After these
pains would first come on, my entire body
would suddenly grow cold, I would be numb
all over and all my muscles would be asleep.
I would then turn suddenly blind. I often
lay in tills condition for hours, and generally
I was conscious and knew what wits going
on, but the suffering was intense and un
bearable. No words can describe it.
h Frequently, in going about my place or
when 1 would be awuy from home, these

I would be entirely blind and my mind
would be affected. Mv family was nnsasV
I and feared my mind would become impaired, ' '
jl consulted several physicians at Greens. ''
Dnrg. nut they said my case was Hopeless, as . - -the
disease was incurable. I went to other ''

j article about Or. Williams' Pink Pills. I
had no faith in them, for nothing did me any
good; but I tried them as s last resort. Thn
first box helped nie At once and I kept on
taking them. I began taking them in May,
