A number of prominent visitors have 

 been in the city during the last few days. 

 Who? Well, you see, they wanted to 

 travel incog., as great men sometimes do, 

 and their wish has been respected.

coal. The suspension of several col- 

 lieries, due to lack of demand for do- 

 mestic sizes, has caused a scarcity in the 

 smaller sizes. 



There was some demand for choice 

 flowers in Washington for the inaugura-

A Valentine. 



A prominent grower, whose stock 

 comes into the Philadelphia maAet, sent 

 his wholesaler a valentine. It was clev- 

 erly conceived, the card showing the pic- 

 ture of a little dog carrying a note in his 

 mouth. In this note were the following 

 lines : 

 Dear : 



In the mouth of my little dog Billle 



Is this note, which you may think Is silly; 



But I just want to say, 



This St. Valentine's Day 

 That I loTe; do you love me?

WASHINGTON. 



The Big Veek. 



This is the big week for the trade in 

 the District of Columbia. Inauguration 

 calls for the largest decorations which 

 ever are attempted in this country, and 

 the ofKcial and social affairs, with which 

 the week is crowded, make work for 

 everyone according to his capacity. The 

 decorations of the Pension building for 

 the inaugural ball axe upon a more lavish 

 scale than ever before. Taft bids fair 

 to be the Prosperity President, all right. 

 J. H. Small & Sons do the interior dec- 

 orating. Gude Bros. Co. has the Court 

 of Honor. The bareness of the approach 

 to the Union station even has been re- 

 lieved by the planting of some 300 ever- 

 green trees. Dinner-table decorations are 

 innumerable. . ' 



Enclosed you will find the monej for 

 the renewal of our subscription. We are 

 nicely started in the violet business and 

 cannot get along without the Review.-—
