accompanied by the Florida Press AssO-
citation, were formally received in Music
Hall with welcoming address on behalf

briefly and eloquently, and when
the ceremonies of the reception were con-
cluded, the entire official party. together
with the press delegation adjourned to
the pavilion restaurant where they were
banqueted. The Florida department is
most attractively arranged, crowded with
Il varied exhibit and constantly thrOnged
with visitors. Thousands of oranges and
other fruits were distributed to the crowd. +.
Governor BloXham and staff return home
tomorrow morning, but the members of
the press remain in the city several days.
Florida day has been an immense success
in every sense. 1t is rumOfed that the
Florida festivities will continue tO-mor-

Two theories are maintained here.

tUhStttuttON.
The proposed new State capitol is at
tracing the attention of architects all
over the country. In response to the
advertisement of the Commissioners ask
ing for plans, the Governor has received
a number of letters from prominent archi-
tects in New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Fort Wayne, Chicago, Lexington, Va.
and other cities. Many of these letters
inquire what the State expects in the way
Of capitol, and desire that information be-
fore submitting the plans. At their meet
ing the Commissioners did not set forth
any conditions whatever for the capitol,
but merely invited architects to send in
their plans. There seems to be reluc-
tance to respond to the advertisement, or
at least, desire to know just what the
State wants for the cool million it means
to put in capitol. In answer to the
numerous inquiries sent to the executive
office, replies are being made embodying
the needs of the various departments,
and suggesting to the architects inter
ested what the State must have in capi-

A MATRIMONIAL SOFA.
An Institution That is Attracting At

The Garrison family, formerly of St.
Louis, have for some years been among
the patrons of a very admirable insUitu-
tion here known as the Infant Asylum.
which is moral halfway house, where
many unfortunate and betrayed young
girls are rescued from the path of de
structiOn and placed in new environments
conducive to their happiness and pros
perIty. There is within the institution
one of the cleVerest and most successful
match-makers. She is Mrs. Margaret
EnneYer, the matron, whOnOt only shields
the unhappy girls from the world and per-
mits their parents to indulge in the par
donable stories of having sent them
abroad or off to school, but helps the de-
serted creatures to WOO back their faith
less lovers. She allows one or two pri-
yate interviews between the young peO-
pie and arrauges that at about the third
visit she shall be introduced and that
the young woman shall retire from
the room. Then she begins the
process of sOftening down the masculine
aversion to matrimony under the circum-
stances and she usually wins. She has a
clergyman handy and she promptly en-
forces the performance of the promise eX-
acted. There is a sofa in the parlor of tn e
home called the "MatrimOnial sofa"
where she usually sits when she pleads
with the man. The managers of the home
do all they can to protect those who come
under their care, and many women have
gone away to good homes, leaving their
secrets buried. In his last report Mr.
Clark Bell related some interesting cases
of the value of the home. Two girls from
Vassar College were taken under the pro-
lection of the house and their secrets have
been buried there. Mrs. Enneyer rarely
makes a dead set for husband for a
trusting girl that she does not succeed,
but she is shrewd enough to have a cler-
gyman handy who forthwith ties the knot
before the Gagged bird has chance to get
away

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
Interesting Facts in Its History.


The correspondent of the Baltimore sun
furnishes the following interesting history
Of the civil rights bill that was declared
unconstitutional last Monday:
Professor LangstOn claims that he draft
ed. at the request OF Charles Sumner, the
bill which has just been declared uncOn-
stitutiOnal, but the bill, eXtraVagant as it
was, possessed scarcely a tithe of the gro
teSque absurdity of the measure presented
by Mr.. sumner. That bill was introduced
on December 1. 1873, and was absolutely
told Mr.. Sumner that the Supreme Court
would throw it out on the instant, and
Senator Morrill,, of Maine. informed him
that the United States Senate would not
touch il at long range. 1t was referred to
the Judiciary Committee, placed in charge
of Senator Frelinghuysen, the present
Secretary of State, and after four months
of incubation an entire substitute for the
bill was reported by him. This substitute.
although very much modified from the
original bill, undertook TO include ceme-
teries IN its application. The bill even as
modified was fiercely attacked, and Mr..
Frelinghuysen again and again strOve
Nainly to deny that it touched the ques-
ti0n Of social equality. Aftermany days of
debate the bill was finally passed and sent
to the House, with nearly if not quite
biC-llttlA Va AilG tAt tkBubltCdu DCudlOlo dH-

the bill reached the House Gen. Benjamin

Judiciary Committee of that body, moved

bill, sent it to the Senate, where it was
adopted by that body, and this is the
measure which the Supreme Court
declared outside the pale of the
Constitution. Benjamin F. Butler is
therefore the father of the defun ct meas
ure, and to him belong; all the credit or
the blame, as the case may be. Doubt
less he had this very bill in his mind
