FRIDAY, AUGUST FLORISTS ADJOURN. The American Society Finished Up All Its Work Yesterday. AUXILIARY BODIES MEET.! Much Interesting Business Transacted—The ‘Visiting Delegates Are Handsomely Enter- tained by Washington Florists—An Excur- sion to Cabin John—They Have Gone to Mount Vernon Today. After the adjournment yesterday afternoon of the Society of American Florists several im- portant meetings of auxiliary bodies of the so- ciety were held. The first was that of the Florists’ Hall Asso- ‘iqtion, an association that insures glass against breakage. The association has a membership of 526. The total amount of glass insured dur- img the year was 5,000,000 square feet. The amount of glasa broken and replaced by the association was 18,418 square feet. The cost of this was $961.67. The largest individual loss was $127. The treasurer's report showed a balance in the treasury of $3,996, and this, with the school bond possessed by the associa- | tion, makes its assets $5,000. It was decided to appropriate $30.0 year to defray the expenses of the president of the association, and a pres- ent of $100 was voted the present presiding officer, Mr. J. N. Jordan, as a recognition of his valuable services. A committee of three was appointed to confer with tire insarance com- panies with a view to obtaining from them good and uniform rates for insuring green houses against fire, and also board of directors, tho will elect the officers of the association for the ensuing year, was selected. FLORISTS’ PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION. The Florists’ Protective Association also held | a meeting, J.C. Vaughn of Chicago presiding. The secretary, H. B. Beatty of Oil City, sub mitted His annnal report, in which he said the association wad to { 19, 1892. This the en’ 2 trip to Mount Vernont an the guests of ine. Natioual Gardeners’ Club of this city.

MALE, Ina conversation with leading members of the society today a Stan reporter was informed that the meeting had been a very successful ‘one, and that the society had not before been so plesgantls entertained. Those who participated in the trade exhibit were particularly lavish in their of the manner in which the exhib- itors been received and treated. They stated that the arra: snts made by Mr. C. F. Hale of this city, the superintendent of the exhibition, had been and that not the slightest confusion or hitch had occurred. Mr. Hale isan Englishman by birth, having been born in London in 1856. “For ten years he was cngaged in the famous nurseries of Vitch & Son, London. For the past ten years Mr. Hale has been engaged in business here. | in yy ‘The Corcoran Cadets Winning High Praise at Tolchester Beach. ‘Correspondence of The Evening Star, Caner Fosren, Toucurster Brack, Mp., Aug. 18, 1892. ‘The throng of visitors still continues to pour pon our little city of thirty tents and if any | of them go away witha bad impression of the average citizen soldier of Washington, or the | Corcorans in particular, it is something that the members know nothing of and have no | power to correct.

At 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, when Sergt. Prosise turned the picked drill team of the company over to Capt. Edwards after formation, there were hardly a hundred spectators. When inten minutes after the first order for firing was given and the crashing report of twenty-four rifles broke over the ground the effect was magical. The dancing pavilion and every amusement suffered by the exodus and when another volley was fired shortly after tho echo was accompa- nied by the applause of fully a thousand per- sons—where they came from seemed magical. The drill worked like a charm, but when tho Doys scaled the rail fence at double time it was worth a week's wages to every one of those Dis- trict lads to hear the cheer that went up. The hardest and prettiest movement in the drill was sd with such rapidity and neatness as to t to the following J, B. DUNLOP, A leading member of the society is Mr. J. 1. Dunlop of Toronto, Canada, a former vice president of the society, and now of its execu- tive committee. Mr. Dunlop was born in New York January 7, 1855. He went to Toronto | when seven Years of age, where he attended school. Later. ata carpenter, he returned to ew York, where he worked at his trade, finally settling in Toronto, 1875, where be leased the news standand telegraph office from the Queen's operation of a protecti stem in which every branch of trade is interested. This system is one of blacklisting all persons who fail to | pay their florists’ bills and notifying the trade that the person so blacklisted is unworthy of credit. The florists also agree to refrain from selling flowers to blacklisted persons, so that if | these individuals happen to be particularly | fond of flowers they must pay their bill. Tt | was decided on the recommendation of Mr. Beatty's report to strengthen this system by tho | adoption of a plan of collection by drafts. | Any dealer who fos! a delinquent debtor may | make out a draft on him and forward the draft to the secretary of the association. The sec- | Tetary wil. then send it out for collection. If | the draft is returned unpaid the whole trade | will be promptly notified, and the credit of the | individual on whom it was made will be ruined | with the florists forever. It is believed that the drafts sent out by the association will in | this manner have far more force than the drafts of an individual. A small charge, sufficient to | defray the expens ciation for all collections. Preceding the evening seasion of the society a meeting of the International Telegraph De- | livery Association was held, at which @ num! of improvements in the system operated by the association were adopted. The association isan organization of florists, with representatives in each large city. They have a system of ex- change by which a member in oné city having to fill an order for fiowers in another can tele- graph to the representative of the association in the city to which the flowers are to be sent, and the order will be filled at once from the stock of the local growers, LAST EVENING’S SESSION. At Inst evening's meeting of the society Mr. jobert Farquhar of Boston read a paper on “Floriculture for Children as a Means of In- creasing and Diffusing a Knowledge and Love of Flowers.” The public instruction of chil- dren in floriculture, he said, has been neglected in this country, but if the florists could bring into prominence the advantages arising from suel | | itudy it would confer « benefit upon the | ‘Men are consumed too much by busi- nese in this country to give much thought | | to what is best and sweetest in life, and their | | children learn quicker from what their parents | j really are than trom what they think. If care | be taken, he said, to instruct and interest the } little ones in the simple knowledge of flowers it ig surprising how in almost every instance an enthustiastie love for them will spring up. He suggested that in such instruction the child be | given a little garden in which it may produce, | under the direction of its parents, something of | beauty in which it may have the pride of pro- | rietorship. In such a course fitting snb- jects are found for remark, which if availed | of, will not only open their minds to anew | world of delightful thought, but will also open | their minds to their instructors, He spoke of the attention paid in European coantries to floriculture for children, and argued that it is | the duty of the Society of American Florists to that the claims of floriculture for children and kindred subjects are ized in the ublic schools. In conclusion he said the ten- lencies of fioricnlture are all in the right direo- tion. We would have our men and women re- tain the child heart and a love for nature while e. little hands and happy faces may be tanned and darkened in the sunny gar- dens, but the whiteness of soul, which » love for nature and for nature's God gives, lives deeper and is eternal. “The paper was discussed by Mr. Hammond of New York, who said the national flag should be | placed over every school house in the land and a flower bed at the door. Nothing, thought Mr. Hart, who also discussed the paper, Was more valuable than flowers in making the home at tractive and extending home influences. He thought the florists should see that children are admitted free and made welcome at all flower ows. TRE QUESTION BOX. ‘The remainder of the seusion was devoted to answering the queries dropped in the question box, What are the best materials to use for shading on glass in summer and how applied? was the first one. This was answered by Mr. Oliver, who thought a mixture of benzine and white fend, applied with a whitewash brush, would be found cheap and satisfactory. The | The will be made by the asso- | sana Hotel. Up to this time floriculture was almost an unknown art with him, but during the quiet afternoons books and papers that would throw any light on floriculture, and rose growing in particular, were eagerly studied. Decoming ac- mainted with the theoretical part, in 1850 he built his first green bonse, a movlest structure 6x12 feet. The following vear it was doubled. e next year ahouse Sx0 fect was erected. ext season this gave place to a more modern uctare—12x50 feet—what is known asa thres- | ter span house. All this time, by hard work und perseverance (a great deal ‘of it re- quired in this branch of horticulture), he was becoming more competent, and as the demand for choice roses was iereasing in the city a large piece of ground was purchased on Kenzie avenue north of Bloor street, where one of the finest establishments in the domin- ion stands today. Roses are the chief product, carnations and violets are produced in quantity also. At the present time thore are eight large | houses, aggregating 25,000 square fect of glass, Mr. Dunlop originated a new rose, “the To- | from the well-known ‘Perle des Jar- dins.” Mr. Dunlop was one of the orgunizers of the Toronto Gardeners and Florists Cinb, and its first secretary, and hrs alwaye taken th terest in the club's welfare. He is un i jculturist, IN CASE OF STRIKE HERE. How It Could Be Easily Handled by the ‘District Militia, “Suppose the railroad strike should spread | and involve this city, what force is available to uphold the law and protect property?” The speaker was a well-to-do business man who incase of anything like riot would have more than little nt stake, His inquiry was | proper and timely in view of the fact that a! railroad strike can cover more ground in less | time than any other kind of disturbance. COULD BE HANDLED Fasizy. “If there should be any difficulty here,” eaid an army officer to a Sram reporter today, “it | could be handled quite easily; more easily than would be ible in any otber city in the country. territors is under the abso- lute control of the United States, so «| combination of national and militia forces could be effected immediately and barmoni- | ously, The police force, good as it is, would | have plenty to do in keeping order throughout the city. It is not large enough to pay especial attention to the railroad property and the government departments. The public vould, of course. have to place ite main dependence upon the District ‘National Guard, and from what I know of that organization the public would have no cause for fear. The training of the brigade, conducted by Gen. Ordway. has been of the mat practical and soldierly nature. Yesterday I looked into the streny of fi loca: force and find that it would bi within two hours to have 1,500 men under arms and ready for duty. There are two regiments of whitein‘antry and a separgte battalion of colored foot roldiers. Then there is one of the best companies of cavalry I ever saw, and a first- class light battery, whi both heavy guns and gatlings. engineer corps—practically 8 battalion—the cycle company and the ambu- lance corps complete the most thoroughly equipped brigade organization in the country. GOOD COMMANDING MATERIAL. Of more importance than anything clse when there is work to dois the commanding material, and in this respect the District mili- tia is satixfactorily equipped. Every man of its officers has seen active setvice, either during or since the war. Some of them were cadets at the Military Academy, and ina couple of in- stances officers are’ the sons of men whose reputations for battle-ficld courage are bright stars in our national history. Good men in the ranks very often fail to ac- complish much when they are poorly officered, while inferior enlisted material will frequently astonish the world when properly led and com- manded. As I understand it this force could speedily be increased to 9,000 or more men if occasion demanded the increase. THE REGULAR ARMY AT RAND. “Then the regular army can be called in if necessary. In fact, they would probably be ordered out at the same time as the militia.

A straw ride was given Inet evening toa gipsy camp by parties at the hotel, and. tonaght the “ball” in honor of the cadets takes place. A large-sized crowd from Washington arrived Festerday morning and nearly all paid usa visit, “Deacon” Collins, together with bis fellow | revivalist, Locraft, walked into camp yesterday morning, they having made the entire trip by foot, The colored mascot is «: case of sickness and Dr. ith him nearly all t improved now, how ble quartet is now complet since Collins arrived and embraces Messrs, | le, Jasper, Lew r Collins, Richold, Early d Matthews, dera short TY evening before and after suppe verenda of the hot much the a of the large number of guests and friends.

It was some time before the guard id restore order sufficiently to remove the innocent lamb” and Sabin retire to dream of other lambs Guardmount and skirmish drill are the routine every day. ‘The crowd in camp last evening was so as to impede the progress of the drill and Capt.

The scores are rapidly being completed at the range and the practice has demonstrated most |forcibly the many really good marksmen the company has, No ac ent has happened yet | of any serious character, but the utmost pre- cautions have been used. Tonight another dance takes place, tomorrow an “elephant party" at the hotel, and on Sat- urday a “straw ride” has been epoken of. All of these various entertainments owe their origin to certain ladies at the botel.and it is seldom, if ever, that a company of entire strangers have received so great an amonnt of hospitality. As this iss “dry” county the vations wars of tting “licker” are surprising. An enterpris- og merchant has “eppeared “in camp several times with the newly discovered ‘vanilla spirits,” done in packages to suit the trade. He had disposed of about ten email bottles when he was discovered by Lieut. Myers, who escorted him out of camp and on to the boat. ‘Ibe girls ali say that Early is the most hand- some cadet of the lot, and when it came to Berry's cars he set up cigars to the crowd.
