SENDING VIOLETS BY MAIL.
It Is always a trouble to know how
to send flowers any distance to keep
them from bruising and withering. A
bunch of violets which was sent into
the city the other day must have been
in a close box for 36 hours before be-
ing taken out and put into water and
at the end of that time the flowers
looked as fresh as if they had just be*n
picked. They were tied up tightly in
a bunch with a Uttle maidenhair fern
surrounding them as such a bouquet
is made and*- then wrapped in oiled
paper and placed in a square box. the
comers of which were filled in with
the oiled paper to prevent them from
tossing about. ' ”

COURT DECISON ON LABOR.
A Boston court has recently made a
decision in a labor union case which is
of vital concern and which establish-
es a precedent that has been wanted
in order that one class of the world’s
workers shall not be unduly favored
at the expense of another and much
larger class who are equally entitled
to a chance to earn a living.
The Chicago News thus clearly states
the case and the court’s decision:
"Trade unions and the courts fre-
quently clash and a case has been de-
cided in Boston that will limit the pow-
er of city councils to order by ordin-
ances that in city contracts prefer-
erences shall be given to contractois
who employ union labor.
"The case is not unlike very many
that have come up in Chicago and
other cities but so far as we can
learn this is the first instance in whies
the courts have been called upon to
decide the legal rights not only of con-
tractors but of the workmen them-
selves. In Boston the Common Coun-
cil had given contractors to understand
that in .all city work preference must
be given to union labor. In this case
the contractors employing non-union
labor were building a bath-house on
Dover street and the mayor because
of the employment of such labor sus-
pended the contract and refused to
permit the contractors to proceed with
the work. The contractors brought
a bill in equity against the mayor and
asked for an injunction restraining
him from interference with the work.
The mayor had placed policemen at
the unfinished building to prevent the
contractors from proceeding under the
contract.
"The judge before whom the case
was brought granted the injunction re-
straining the mayor from interfering
with the work. In speaking of the
discrimination against non-union la-
bor in his opinion the judge said that
it ‘is not in accord with our ideas of
equal rights and is hostile to that por-
tion of the Constitution of the United
States that declares government to be
instituted of the common good and not
for the profit honor or private inter-
est of any one man or class of men.’
Apparently the judge is of the opinion
that non-union men paying taxes for
the support of the government and en-
tit< led to its full protection equally
with all other citizens ought not to be
discriminated against by city councils
in the privilege of earning their living
and supporting their families. The
question while not a new one has not
before been so broadly asserted as was
done by Judge Richardson in this case
against Mayor Quincy of Boston.”
UNPROFITABLE STRIKE.
Never was a strike better organized
or better directed than that of the en-
gineers in Great Britain which has
lasted an entire year and has now
ended—as strikes usually end —in fail-
ure. It was so extensive affecting
the motive power of nearly all the fac-
tories of every kind in the United
Kingdom that it seemed impossible
for the employers to hold out against
it.
The issue was not so much on wages
as on the limitation of the
hours of labor and upon
the regulation of all ques-
tions by general committees of the un-
ion. It was against this mainly that
the manufacturers took their stand
Insisting upon the right of each em-
ployer to deal directly with his ow n
people. The union leaders were
equally determined to maintain their
own power and many branches of in-
dustry have been practically tied up
in consequence. In an issue of endur-
ance. capital has always the advant-
age of labor and at length the men
who were tired of Idleness have forced
their leaders to succumb and they are
going back to work on substantially
the old terms.
This is usually the result of a long
strike. It is more conspicuous in this
instance only because the strike had
more than the usual advantages that
made the experiment more than us-
ually conclusive.
It is not necessary to consider any
question of right or wrong or wheth-
er the strike ought to have succeeded
|or not. We have to do simply with
the fact that it failed after causing
infinite loss leaving the industries
concerned in worse condition than be-
fore. And this is a fact especially
worth the thoughtful atention of the
dissatisfied mIH hands in New Eng-
land. The cotton industries there are
in very bad shape and those factories
will be fortunate that can pay their
hands at all. To select this time for
a strike would be a folly even if a
strike w’ere ordinarily a hopeful reme-
dy for grievances whether actual or
assumed. In the face of repeated ex-
perience it must be a sanguine labor
who can expect any profit to the
hands from such means in the exist-
ing conditions in New England.—Phil-
adelphia Times.

And Easter’s on the way here
And the hen is on the egg.

A Few Timely Tips on Rowdyism.
All Bets Off—Senators vs.
Bronchos—Lmpire Clark.
Tomorrow afternoon the first gun in
the battle for the championship of the
Texas Baseball league will be fired and
hence Fandom's daily reference will be
the percentage table. The Light will
continue to record the standing of the
clubs by means of the Baseball Barom-
eter and reflect the Calcium of Fact on
things as they appear on the surface.
As a friend of the ball player rooter
and umpire the Light will treat all
alike. The reports of the games will
be fair fearless and impartial. Any
misconduct on the part of spectators
will be treated with the same degree of
severity as that of players. Rowdy-
ism among the rooters is as disgraceful
as rowdyism among players.
It is hoped that personal remarks to
players and umpires from spectators
will be entirely obliterated this year.
It must be remembered that ball play-
ers and umpires are nothing more than
human and it is human to err. Play-
ers will make errors and umpires will
make mistakes. Sometimes the gaff
goes to the home team and sometimes
to the visitors.
This is the fortune of war in baseball.
The game is dependent upon good and
ill luck And the teain that wins is the
lucky one.
The Texas league is the first to open
the season. The schedule for April 9
10 and 11 is as follows:'
Austin at San Antonio.
Galveston at Houston.
Dallas at Fort Worth.
The Austin Senators will be here in
the morning headed by the ex-Broncho
chief. Big Mike O'Connor. With him
will be Charley Weber “Bridget” Ma-
loney and Rapp pitchers; Lattimer
catcher; O’Conner first base; Schuster
second base; Looie Knau short stop;
Fred Valdois third base; Willie Kohnle
left field; Charley Bailey centre field;
Longley right field. Rapp will pitch
for the Senators tomorrow'.
The ’Bronchos will be under the lead-
ership of Arthur Rutherford while Mid-
get Otto Krueger will act as field cap-
tain. Enigma Bobby Gregory will
preside on the slab while Tommy
O’Donnell will receive him. Tom Staun-
ton will arrive from St. Louis in the
morning to take his post at first base.
Frank Hempelman who arrived from
Cincinnati yesterday will be on second
base. He practiced with the team yes-
terday afternoon and showed up well.
Rasty Reynolds will be the shortstop
and Captain Krueger w'ill guard the left
corner of the infield. In the suburbs
will be Jack Wagner left field; Eddie
Henneke Centre field; Ollie Conn right
field.
The game will be called at 4:30 p. m.
sharp.
The master'of the field will be Ed.
C. Clark the well known umpire who
was in the Texas league last year. He
arrived this morning.
It may be finally seated that positive-
ly no betting will be allowed on the ball
grounds. It is a violation of the rules
of the game and the umpire is empow-
ered to stop the evil at the sacrifice of
the game by the home club. Fred Bol-
ton has been appointed special officer on
the grounds and will see that the best
order prevails.

THE WAR GOES ON.
Remarkable Gain of “The Snails"—The
Maids of Honor For Co. C.
It is quite remarkable that so muck
interest has developed thus early in the
Y. M. C. A. contest. There Will be a
good crowd and doubtless some very in-
teresting developments at the Old Fash-
ioned Spelling match In Association hall
tonight. The “Sure Winners” and the
“Coyotes” are very sure that they have
drawn capital prize in the selection of
sponsors; but the “Snails" look very
wise and suggest that “Wa wait and
see" who will be selected to the exalted
position for their company.
A very interesting feature at the con-
test is the remarkable gain of the
"Snails” within the past forty-eight
’hours having overtaken the “Coyotes”
and following close upon the trail of
the “Sure Winners.”
