Francis Fergus, who under the
name of Hugh Conway has become
50 widely known as the author of
"Ualled Back" Ozark Days" etc,
died of typhoid fever at Monaco on
May 10th. He was an auctioneer
in Bristol, England, and was little
known till his story of "Called Back"
was published in Arrowsmith's An
nual. His literary success has been
phenomenal, and his style was char
acterized by clearness, deep feeling
and earnest thought. His loss will
be widely felt in the world of letters
and the loss to his family will be
felt by thousands of readers wherev-
er the English language is spoken.

Hamlet i'm Cherokee.

Pecks Sun.
In history of Florida and the Florida
war is a curious incident one that would
have been laughable if it had not been so
tragic. Near the close of the war a thea
trical troupe, a company of travelling
transformers, had played an engage
ment at Palatka and started overland for
st. Augustine They did not arrive at
St. Augustine as expected. The bills an
nounced that they would play at a Ger
tain day, and that they would play
Hamlet" The people of st. Augustine
were yearning for Hamlet" and at the
appointed time they frequented the hall,
but the actors did not show up. There
was much Indignation at the time, and
cutting remarks were made about a
troupe that would not do as it advertised,
but in the excitement of the closing
hours of the war the actors were forgot
ten. Ond day it was announced that
the chief of Indians, with large party
of his braves, was coming in to surren-
der to the commanding general, and the
whole town went to the barracks to wit
ness what was going to be the close of
the war. Presently it was said that they
were coming, and all eyes were turned
to the pine woods, where a queer scene
was witnessed. The travelling theatrical
company appeared to be coming, all
dressed in the costumes of the play of
''Hamlet." The people wondered, until
| Hamlet stepped up to the commanding
| general and surrendered himself as
| Hamlet was the Cherokee, chief, and
| the persons wearing the costumes of the
King and Laertes, and all the rest, were
braves belonging to his band. The COM
handing general took charge of the
| prisoners, and then asked why this mas
| querade of a serious matter, and the
laughter was stopped when the chief adj
mitted that he had captured and massa-
cred the theatrical party as they tramped
along the road, and taken the costumes,
and thinking they would be an addition
to their wearing apparel, and look real
nice, and please the commanding officer,
they had put them on to surrender in.
The general could hardly keep from
! laughing at the scene, though it was a
tragedy. Hamlet and the Ghost were
placed III the fort, in chains, and the rest
were confined, and the clothes taken
and sent to the friends of the actors.
Even at this late day, people who fire.
quent theatres often witness a perform
ance that is so bad that they wish the
actors would have to tramp through a
/ hostile Indian country, to be chased
little by Indians; but nobody wants them
murdered, and their clothes taken by red
men. If some of the ham-fatters could
/ travel for time through and Indian
country, they would have more sympa-
! thy for an audience. Think of the ludi-
erous scene of Hamlet surrendering to

on street. We are not building
city for few days or weeks, but
should lay a foundation broad and
deep upon which to erect the bust
ness Of a prosperous city and pre-
pare for the indefinite retention Of
our reputation as the pleasantest
winter resort in Florida Even bus
mess men would object to unneces-
sary inconvenience on our most
public thoroughfare; what then will
be said by ladies, invalids, pleasure
seekers who can afford to be self
indulgent and tender mothers who
insist on wheeling baby carriages
Our streets are now cut deeply in
to holes and ruts by the necessary
passage of heavy building material.
Immediately after this work is main
ly finished, our council must take
some measure towards improving
the condition of the streets most
generally used at any rate. This is
a work of time and necessarily of
some expense, but something should
be done in this direction before the
winter work begins. AT slight cost
we might mix our sand with clay as
Ocala has done, or adopt, possibly
some better plan. But Palatka can
not afford to have vehicles sink in
the sand and then jolt over crossings
as they have done in the past, We
must not be content with our pres
ent condition because our thorough
fares even now are in better condi-
ton than those of Jacksonville. We
must go onward and upward because
our natural place is in the front
rank.
Grading is also required by the
absolute necessity OF taking proper
sanitary precautions. Water may
stand for awhile on clean sand with
out dangerous results, but our streets
are no longer pure sand In the
beds of these spougy roadways are
retained a thousand substances ac-
cumulated by time and use which
need only the presence Of water and
heat to ensure decomposition, and
the elements of disease and death
will silently arise to attack us softly,
invisibly, but not less fatally We
must establish proper grades and
drainage so that a rain will cleanse
our town instead of lying in wait
with its dangerous presence in back
yards and holes or sinking out OF
sight only to arise in another form
still more dangerous. We hope the
council will begin work speedily.

NOW FOR THE STREETS.

Many Of our buildings are now
completed, and enough has been
done to show that Lemon street, at
no distant day, will be one of the
handsomest thoroughfares in the
state. 1t only remains that the
streets and sidewalks be properly
graded, our shade trees replaced and
proper drainage insured.
Our streets are amply wide en-
ough to admit of row of trees on
each side, and these will add much
to the attractiveness of the town.
We all appreciate this, but they can
only be reset after the building ma
terial is cleared away and the prop
er season admits OF this particular
work. With all our power we shall
insist on shade; an alienation of
sour oranges and forest trees of all
the best varieties indigenous to Flor
ida. Such display would be most
interesting to our visitors, many of
whom are anxious to learn every
thing possible of our state, its pro-
auctions, natural growths, etc. If
we cannot afford a park for the dis
play of our flowers, ferns and small
er plants peculiar to our state, we
can at least beautify our streets, inn
prove our sanitary condition and
make ourselves attractive to the
stranger and proud of our city, by
putting out forest trees wherever
there is room for one to grow. If
ever the few private gardens and
open lots where these now remain
by sutferance are replaced by brick
blocks, as we must aspect them to
be, Palatka will have nothing to
show of all our native flora.
But ii the trees can be safely left
out of consideration till next fall,
our sidewalks and streets should re-
ceive immediate attention. The own
ers of our new brick blocks are w
ing with each other in attempting to
make their fronts attractive by lay
ing substantial and beautiful side
walks. These are models in their
way, but all suffer from the want of
general concert of action There
should be an ascent so gradual as to
be almost imperceptible on Lemon
street from the river to the court
house square. Instead of this, each
block has the pavement laid on its
own level, but the pedestrian is con-
fronted by the necessity of making
abrupt falls aud elevations in way
which would be perilous to the un-
wary on dark night. Our council
should have the city surveyor estab-
lish grade and the particular own
er need not be put to any additional
expense, but should be strictly re-
CURED to make his sidewalk in con-
formity thereto. There is no reason
why one should risk sprained an
kle or broken leg in ascending Lem

PALATKA, FLA, MAY 20, 1885.

The advent of the watering cart
on our streets was followed by
good rain yesterday, and the one
makes the other useless till we are
again choked by the dust which in
sinuates its silent presence on the
shelves of the merchant, the pigeon
hole of the lawyer, the lace of the
maiden, the low shoes of the dude
and into the eyes of all animated
nature.
