The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mat 8. 1902. 



Lloyd Vaughan, the popular salesman 

 representing E. H. Hunt, Chicago, is 

 expected here this week with a full line 

 of florist's supplies. 



Charlie Koper has returned to the city 

 after three years' absence, and is now 

 with C. C. Sanders on Delmar avenue. 

 Charlie brought his wife with him. 



Tom Peterson is doing jobbing work 

 in the West End with plenty of work 

 on hand. Tom and Charlie are old time 

 members of our bowling club and we 

 hope that they will pay us a visit some 

 Monday night. 



The meeting of the club this week 

 will no doubt settle the question as to 

 the smoker that the club will have some 

 time this month for the good of the club. 



Bowling. 



The Bowling Club had a poor attend- 

 ance on Monday night owing to the ex- 

 treme heat. Six members were on hand 

 when the bowling started. Kuehn 

 showed the lead with 194 average, fol- 

 lowed by Ellison and Ellis. This ended 

 the first prize series. A. Y. Ellison, the 

 scratch man, wins the first prize, with 

 Ellis a good second. On next Monday 

 night a new series of 12 games starts. 



The following scores were made last 

 (Monday) night.

 ham, the florist, died suddenly of heart 

 disease April 22, aged 60 years. 



POST CHECK MONEY. 



The adoption uf the proposed post 

 check money would certainly greatly fa- 

 cilitate the forwarding of remittances 

 through the mails and no one would 

 suffer except the express companies who 

 issue money orders. 



Briefly the plan is to print bills of 

 small denomination and fractional cur- 

 rency in the form of a check on the U. 

 S. Treasury, this to pass from hand to 

 hand as ordinary currency so long as 

 the space for name of payee is blank. 

 But when this space is filled by any one 

 with the name of a particular payee 

 and a postage stamp attached and can- 

 celled it becomes payable to the payee 

 only, and tampering with it is an offense 

 subject to heavy punishment. "With post 

 cheek currency it would be unnecessary 

 to go to the postofBce to buy a money 

 order. The remitter would simply take 

 blank currency from his pocket and in 

 a moment convert it into an order pay- 

 able only to the party to whom he 

 wished to remit. No one else could 

 realize upon it without committing for- 

 gery. 



The plan is certainly worthy of adop- 

 tion. The bill is now before congress 

 and all interested should express their 

 wishes to their senators and representa- 

 tives in that body.
