ALL ABOUT GREEN ORANGES.


The golden orange, or rather the green
orange, is making its first appearance
among Us. 1t has not the teTFors to the
father and mother of the small boy that
is the concomiiant of the green apple
and the peach, but it is too sour for great
enjoyment for some time TO come. A
Florida sweet orange, at its sourest, is
preferable to those brought from the
Mediterranean. They will not bear
quite as much transportation, but have,
been shipped to England and arrived in
good condition. The Meseina oranges, at
their best, are gathered when green. to
avoid rotting, while those of Florida,
are put on the northern market
| on the third or fourth day after they are
ready for shipment. 1t Is estimated now
that the orange crop of this year wllllbe
one-eighth larger than last year, and
| for several years to come. After seven
or eight years the multiplication will be
incalculable, for verify the orange fever
prevails. Il is the ambition of every
one owning small piece of land to
cover it with the handsome trees; still
there Is to be no such thing as flooding
the market; they will only find sale as q
common commodity of daily use, where
now they are only known as luxuries.' -
BIG FORTUNES REIEa MADE
Some large fortunes are being made
today by orange growing where ten years
ago the sough Ofthe pines and the splash
of the lakes were alone in primeval har
mOny. One gentleman In Southern
Middle Florida has refused $4,000 for a
grove. the fruits of which have raised
him from almost poverty. Another
orange prince of different orig,
in, Spanish duke, well known
in New York fashionable
circles, owning what has been the most
famous grove in the state, whose ahun-
dance furnishes desert for the tables
of all heightened hotels within its
reach.
The orange grove does not grow it
self, as too many have tondly believed to
their sorrow, but is only the result oil
hard digging, with the advantage that 8
man who has dug away at an orange or.
chard for eight or nine years has some
thing better to show than his last crop
of potatoes. He has, with fair luck, a
good independence.

rnE MURDERERs.


How They Feel and Act Since Pleading
/, Guilty Before Justice Fletcher.
The writer was present at the court
house Friday when the officers had Reed
and Pearce, the Mcmillan murderers,
photographed. The prisoners seemed
to show considerable interest in the OPP
Grafton and both requested pictures.
Reed seemed somewhat sgitated, but
Pearce was more composed than we
have seer, him since the confession. He
would not talk. however. and refused to
ans~er q question put To him by one OF
the parties present.
FREI. BETTER.
Both OF the criminals give evidence of
q feeling OF relief since appearing in
court yesterday. The deadly fear of be-
ing mobbsd which haunted them at first
seems 10 have subsidized. and
we are informed by JaIler
Hines, who watched with them, thet
they passed restGul night and ate q
hearty breakfast. Pearce expresses the
GREATEST REMoRsE
for his deed, and says that IL he had all
the wealth of Gould and Vanderbilt and
millions OF dollars besides. he would
cheeEfnlly give It To wash his hands Of
the blood which atAIns them. He ex-
presses deaiFe 70 ges to ths penitenti-
AIRY, where, ne sAYs, it IL his Intention to
lead different life and make hIs peaes
with God. He thinks that imprison.
ment fog life is the least
expiation he can make for his
terrible crime aad says he would
be willing TO be sentenced 10 hard labor
Cor 90 years. He sAys he Is not informed
e 70 the whereabouts Of two children
which he left with sister In the east,
and neither he nor Reed have manifest
ed any desire to communicate with their
friends. Pearce says he never murdered
any one before, and that the crime
which deprIVes him of his liberty was
NOT premetirtated.
OF A DIFFERENT MIND.
Reed, on the other hand, seems to
manifest no contritIOn over the dark deed
to which he cOnfesses, but is apparently
careless as To his future and looks upon
the prospect of getting to the peniten-
tiary with more of hope than despair.
He says man whom he used to know
in Russell county, who was sentenced
To the state prison wrote home that the
conVicts were we'll fed and comfortably
clothed, that the work was not heavy
and that he enjoyed life better there
than he had at home. Reed says he
can kill q man and lie down and sleep,
while It works upon Pearce in such a
way as 70 bleak In upon his rest and
torture his mind. He says now that
be struck Mcmillan first while Fearce
was asking him for tobacco, and that
hs dealt hlm two blows with the sickle
bar Reed and Pearce seem TO enter
tam no ill-EeelinR toward each other
and converse together whenever they
have the opportunity.

BADLEY RATIFIED.

Reed upon being interviewed again
last night at first admitted that he had
struck Mcmillan once, but maintained
that Pierce had struck the first blow.
He afterward denied, however, having
taken any part In the murder, and de-
clared that his first statement as made
on Tuesday night was correct. Then he
