4 Cabinet Crisis.

Saturdays New York Herald cable
special says that it is an open secret that
there is a cabinet split on the Egyptian
policy of Mr.. Gladstone. The Earl of
Derby, colonial secretary, and Lord Sell
borne, lord high chancellor, are opposed
to fighting. Mr.. Gladstone recalled his
Midlothian speech where, speaking of
the Afghans, he said: ut is disgraceful
that a nation whom we call savages
should, in defense of their native land,
offer their naked bodies to the arms of
European science, and be killed by the
hundred thousand for doing with rude,
ignorant courage what were, for them,
duties of patriotism" How, having de-
nounced the massacres of Teb and Tam
anieb?
His colleagues overbore him. They
could not risk dissolution. Each had a
measure for the coming season. Mr..
Chamberlain, the President of the board
of trade, was posing as the guardian an
gel of mariners. Sir William Harcourt,
home secretary of state, was busy with
turtle feu Doors of the city" The rest
were pushing the reform bill, which they
hoped would increase their strength at
the next election. So Mr.. Gladstone
consented to summon the doctor and lie
abed till Gen. Graham's work was done
and the butchers bill came in from Slla-

peacefully passed away Mrs. Hannah
Hutchinson.
Mr.. Charles Hutchinson, her husband,
was long a prominent figure in our coun-

for many years. Since his death, the de-
voted wife who had been his companion
for many years has been in bad health,
which eliminated in her death as stated.
She leaves many friends and relatives to
mourn her loss and to testify to her long
life spent kindly and purely; her relatives
havelost the counsel of an experience rich
in good deeds, and her children, honor
able and useful citizens, are the best tes-
timony possible to her worth and the best
monument to speak her praise.

Our quiet neighborhood is hard at
work, but we have dedicated the Metho-
dist church at Racimo and feel better.
The whole neighborhood- sixty
persons-assembled and we had five
prominent ministers present, the presid-
ing elder, DR.. R. Eddy, of New York;
Rev. Mr.. StOney, of Norwalk; Rev. Mr..
Presbrey, of Sanford, and our pastor, the
Rev. Mr.. Hershman, who preached the
dedicatory sermon. We had a fine ser
mon from the Rev. Mr.. R. Eddy in the
morning. After the services 1925 were
collected which will be sufficient, I I'M
derstand, to make the last payment The
pulpit was beautifully decorated with
flowers by the tasteful hands of our Ia
dies and the appearances indicate con-
tinued prosperity to the church and
much moral profit to the community.
Our orange groves are all doing well,
and the trees are dropping the ornamen-
tai blooms to make way for the solid
fruition of this crop. The truck farmers
in the neighborhOod are doing well, and
the cold of the past winter, which
checked the growth of the trees, will, we
think, help to give us a fine fruit season.
All our friends are well and hard at work
Good luck to the NEWS from its

Lightning Lashed to Labor.

The entire edition of this paper, 5000
copies, says the lion On. " Citizen of
the 18th inst, was, during the night Just
past, printed by means of an electric mo-
tor, and is thus the first newspaper in the
country printed by the power of electric
ity.
But how was it done? This way was
it done: A Parker dynamo machine,
which is used for electric lighting, was
set in the old rolling-lnill of the armory,
and run from the same old shaft which
has turned the rolls to roll the gun-bar-
rels used in fine millions on millions of
the wOrld-famed Remington guns, used
in Denmark, Spain, Sweden, Greece.
Rome; Egypt, Holland, Cuba Japan and
China, besides many South American
countries, and our own beloved land.
From this dynamo were run two electric
wires, over buildings and any alleys, to
the Citizen printing office, where stood a
Parker electric motor, manufactured by
E. Remington & Sons. 1t is a small ma
chine, will slip inside of a medium sized
trunk, but it weighs half ton. There
stood the pressman, with his eyes half
out, there stood we all No steam was
there, no engine, no power Mr.. Lee adj
justed one wire to its place in the little
giant motor, and there we stood unmov-
ed. The other one he grasped, and as he
lightly pressed the end of it into the slot
ted knob and secured it by a screw, q
spark darted from the copper brushes,
the dwarf Cyclops" began to move, the
whole shaft-work with scores of pulleys
answered to the call, and three great cyl
inder presses began their work of print
ing, as though an unseen hand had bid
them go, and they obeyed. And so in
truth it was. A novelty indeed a!
The whole force of the Citizen office,
thirteen in number, beside many specta-
tors, enjoyed the sight, and it will doubt
less be long remembered. This age is
one of advancement and improvement,
and who can tell what next will come?

PERSONALS.

We were gratifed yesterday by visit
from the Rev. J. H. Moore, of Mt. Nor
ris, Illinois, the managing editor of the
Gospel Messenger. The gentleman will
soon publish a paper at the Hourlshlng
little town Of Keuka, on the Florida
Southern railway, a village of some
twelve months whose father was Editor
Rumley. The infant is all right and will
be lively boy, while its father is still
doing well. Success to all parties say we.
Judge ellis, of Gainesville, tells us
that the Alachua Advocate, our neigh
Dor. wishes to exchange with US, and is
hurt because we don't. We are grateful
to both of our friends for compliment
we appreciate, and we assure our brother
of the Advocate that we failed to EEK, -"
only because he, as the old citizen, should
have made the first bow to the new
conner. Hereafter there shall be no
grumbling for our shortcomings. Shake
Mr.. Advocate.
Among the notable hotel guests in our
city, we hrve failed so far, to mention
Prof. VIM. G. Fischer, of Philadelphia,
who is stopping at the Westmoreland.
Prof. Fischer is a celebrity in the musical
world of his section and a composer of
rare ability. We are glad to have him
amongst us and trust that his stay in our
town may prove beneficial and enjoyable
in all respects. Prof. Fischer is accom-
panied by his wife, who, we regret to
say is not in good health at this time.

We outspeed both time and tide,
The favoring fates full rapture bring,
When thou art by my side
Thro' the cloud that curls from smiling lips,
Blue eyes still kindly shine,
And the thrilling touch of finger tips
Comes back in mellow wine.

Embalms the brave and true.
