To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is very evident, and echo the sentiment expressed by E. C. H. in your issue of Wednes- day, that the flower market proposition does not seem to be understood, and I beg in all fairness that you allow space in your valuable paper to hear all sides of the question. The poetical part of the floral industry was most beautifully portrayed and the uniniti could exsily be led to the belief that the “a gardeners” dd the poor workingmen, with their slender means, would be profited. So far as they are concerned the project in in its present form is a delusion and a snare. This gilded palace which it is proposed to erect on one of Uncle Sam's most valuable reservations will not be the place where the small gardeners will be allowed to show their wares with any degree of sutisfaction or profit. Such a place can only be supported and made profitable by men of experience, and the one with the largest capital and shrewd business ideas will profit. The poor, struggling garden- ers with their tew dollars’ wort of lock in trade will be relegated to the curbstone of our regular markets, where they will continue in the future as they have in the past to reay good profit, not from my lord or my lady, but from proprietors of the “humble purse,” who, Jostling slong through the ‘busy mart 'espy 3 geranium plant or a bunch of pansies which would bring joy to the heart of some poor suf- ferer at home. ‘This workingman with the humble purse would not have time nor inclination to visit this floral palace, nor is he wanted there by the swell florists of the place or by its promoters. These latter, when the subject was first broached, cast around them for the parties to carry out their grand ideas, and to myself and others was displayed a most brilliant plan. The idea was to get the swell florists to take hold of it; the promoters, with their social in- fluence, to obtain from Congress governmei assistance to secure a site and put up a build- ing. They proposed to keep the establishment clusive, making it a kind of rendezvous for | ‘ople of their set—the 400, 80 to speak, of It was proposed to issue cards of admission only to the chosen few. Now then, if these promoters are really earn- ext in their desire to help the, poor, struggling gardener; to bestow « blessing on the poor workingman, and to instruct the school chil- dren and the country at large, let them go be- fore Congress and Work to secure such an ay propriation as will enable the proper officers in charge to lay the foundation whereon to build an institution that will compare favorably with the world-renowned Kew Gardens of London, and the Jardin des Plantes of Pari institution would be a lasting monument to the promoters and a blessing to all mankind, Fronist. 401 7TH 8T., COR.

Hill and his traveling com- panions arrived in Savannah at 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon from Birmingham, Ala On the way to Savannah brief stops were made at Macon, Gordon and other places. Senator Hill made short speeches at Macon and Millen. At Olver, while the train was running forty miles an hour, an old colored woman in attempting to cross the track was run over and killed. It was fifteen minutes after the sad incident before Senator Hill heard of what had happened. He expressed the liveliest regrets and for a time there was a gloom over the whole company. As the train entered Savannah the engineer started his whistle and kept it going. | The sig- nal started the whistles on the other roads, and they shrieked a strident and deafen- ing welcome to the party as the train drew into the station. Before it stopped it was surrounded by @ crowd, which welcomed the Senator as he pped from the platform with cheers and ping of hands. he Hill Club of Savannah tendered the Senator a serenade at 5:30 o'clock lnst evening. _At8 o'clock in the evening Senator Hill and his party were the guests of the Hibernian.

Patrick Calhoun of Atlanta, Ga., who, in an eloquent ch, responded to the toast of “St. Patrick's el ur Federal Union” was the toast to which Senator Hill responded. Senator Hill will remain in Savannah as the MAX STRAKOSCH DEAD. He Was the One Who Introduced Italian Opera to America. Max Strakosch, the once famous impresario, had been a patient for two years. Four years ago he was stricken with paralysis at his resi- dence on East 17th street in New York.

He refused and Evans, on of ex-Gov. John Evans, has been taken into the combine and will put up funds and ran his brother-in-law, Judge Elbert, for the United States Senate in opposition to Wol- cott. ‘The Sun has been compelled to-declare for a silver delegation, because Moffatt and oth- ers favorable to free ‘silver own a controlling interest in the paper, but the Sun say#nothing about Wolcott's policy against Harrison.

Turning to the proprietor he said, with con- summate coolness: “I'll be dead in five min- utes. Iwantone more drink. I'll shake you dice for it.” Thinking Wright was joking the saloon keeper replied banteringly, “I don't like to take chances with a dying man, but I'll go you.” The game began.
