She 6uccumbed.

Among the passengers to arrive on the
steamers yesterday was a burly coloEed
girl with a bundle and liberal allowance
OF timidity. The numerous thackmen
and baggage transfer men saw the burly
colored girl with the bundle and timidi-
ty, and to transfer her and her effects
ito any part Of the city" was the special
and theoretically expressed desire Of the
aforesaid hackmen and transfer men.
At first the maid, burly and colored, in
numbered with the bundle and timidity,
seemed pleased with the polite attention
being showered on her, a stranger in q
strange land. This happiness was toe
bright, too lovely, to last. Finally, with
a deep-died blush, faint smile, che half
extended the bundle, reserving beauti.
fully the timidity, then, catching the
disappointed and woe-begone smile OF
another applicant for patronage. drew
back, glanced, looked bswildered, and
succumbed, and, like a worn out child,
sit fiat down on the wharf and gave vent
to her feelings in food of tears in gen.
uine woman fashion. When grief had
flown through her tears away she reused
herself. took up her bundle and timidity,
and quietly stole away.

a Beautiful Dress.

Our lady readers will no doubt be
much pleased to read Of very tasty and
beautiful evening dress made by Miss
Danforth, in her dressmaking and mil
lnery establishment at Jacobson's store,
during last week. The dress was COM
posed Of Coacliquo cashmere and escu-
rial lace and was tastefully made, the
skirt having . narrow foot pleating,
headed with q lace flounce, while over
that extended the front laid in alternate
pleats Of the material and lace. A
wrinkled tabilere droops over them
at the right forming 9 positive contrast
to the starlight pleats. while at the left
was plain side panel laced with black
silk cord. In the back the drapery is
long, full and as usual quite bouffant.
the edge simply hsmmed. The high
pointed corsage arches gracefully over
the hips, the front being laced with the
cord taking the place Of buttons. The
close fitting sleeves extending to the el-
bow was trimed with laco to match that
on the skirt; while folds Of etamins
formed . neat finish for throat and
wrist.

AfbOr Day.

For the purpose Of identifying the
parks, streets and public places in F1ori-
da, the governor has by proclamation
designated the tenth day of February a.
a day for all the people of the state to
put out trees. The idea is one worthy Of
consideration, and it is hoped will be
carried out to tho letter. As the COVER
nor says in his proclamation, in no state
can there be successfully grown greater
variety Of useful or ornamental trees
than in Florida; and by no other means
with the same outlay Of money and Ia
Dor can we 80 increase the attractiveness
Of our favored land as by utilizing these
rich and beautiful ornaments Of nature
to adorn and embellish our homes and
public grounds. II the proclamation OF
| the governor is carried into execution il
will prove one Of incalculable benefit tc
Florida, and will in after years fill m
interesting page in the states history,
We hope the day will be generally OBJ
| served in Putnam county. and now j,
! the time to begin preparations.

Resalt ef the Late EceAse in Pala,lna
and Vicinity.
The north has made it its business to
misrepresent Florida and even went so
far as to say that Harris grove is gone up
forever. We have carefully examined
the matter and come to the conclusion
that all the trees in Harris grove are as
sound as trees can be. Mr.. Hart will
have as good a crop Of oranges next year
as he ever had. Our reason why 10, the
insects are all killed and the groves will
look young and more prosperous than
ever.
In consideration Of this, our great ex-
perience, we have done like all the
orange growers in our vicinity.
We have put on our Sunday face and
decided to let by-gones be by-gones.
Nothing like such a little matter can
| startle us and we will not mourn over il
but stand it like We did the Palatka fire.
Go-ahead is our game! We have
bought the hneet stock Of clothing and
gents furnishings that was ever brought
| to Palatka.
Our straw hats are on hand and il
the Lord does not want to give us any
warm weather we will force the season
by selling our straw hats and spring
goods at astonishing low prices.
In spite Of all Obstacles we will b. tn,
leading clothiers Of Palatka and now W,
say to our friends, do as we do, and no
hang back on account Of . little disap
pointment in the orange crop.
Buy your spring suits, and straw hat
from LOEB and have some style abou
you. Adv.

A Successful Test.

As was mentioned yesterday, Mr.. j.
b. Rollins, state agent, gave a test OF
the Ready" fire sxtinguisher, which
was witnessed by a number Of Palatka'l
citizens. A large heap of inflammablss
were piled up, which had a liberal
amount Of crude turpentine and coal oil
Fire was applied, and the blaze shot ur
about thirty feet. The extinguisher wal
applied, and in a very short while ths
fire was completely put out. The YER
dict was that the extinguisher was a sue
cess. Mr.. Rollins tells us several fami
lies have supplied their houses, and ma
ny others will probably do so. He viii
remain in the city several days.

The Big Grand Trunk Contract
Awarded To Bell. Lewis g. Yates.

The soft coal miners and shippers of Buff
falO are greatly exercited over the fact that
General Manager dickson, of the Grand
Trunk. has not consulted them this year In
letting the contract for his supply coal at
the bridges, but has awarded it in one
lump TO Bell, Lewis 81 Yates. of this city
This they consider most unheard-of affair.
They have for years been invited to visit
Montreal and submit their bids. but now
they are cut of, aud without warning. To
be sure they claimed to be badly used at
Montreal, the high officials of the road
allowing them to toast their shins at the
hotels for weeks while they took plenty of
time to make up their minds to whom the
plum shOnld be given. The Buffalo ship
pers also complained that their bids were
opened and inspected by their competitors.
who were invited to meet the figure and
take the contract. This was bad: but il
was not nearly so bad as seeing a 400. 900
ton contract going without even knowing
that il was going.
The firm who have the contract have no
confession 10 make. and il may be some
days before the discOnsolate ones find out
the precise way in which they were
euchered. Bell. Lewis & Yates, TO make
coal 10 sell. Besides their own extensive
mines through the ReynOldville district,
they control the output of the Erie Railway
Company's Dagus mines the entire produc-
ton Of the Buffalo. Rochester q Pittsburg.
The Dagus coal is rated at about 90 cents
per ton OFF price. as compared with their
other Goals, or with those of the Reynolds
vile region. but all the rest is first class.
The Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia
having recently made the firm of 5. Lang
don 81 Co. their sales-agents, had strong
hopes of controlling the lions share of the
contract, but they. like the others, are out
in the wet. The only reason that can be
OWNED for General Manager Hiekson's &C
ton is he did not wish the Buffalo men to
come 10 Montreal and expose themselves TO
smallpox. The most aggravating fact of all
Is that the contract was let to Bell, Lewis
* Yates nearly a month ago, and the others
have just found il out. AT what price the
contract was let is unknown. but it is sur
missed that the fortunates shaded the SI.S0
rate made last year. This contract Is so
large that it makes the price. and the
awards of the New York Central ana the
Michigan Central, which are to follow, will
presumably be at the same fgure.-Buffalo

ABOUT THE CITY.

Gus Hill. the ''Micado" Of the Duff Opera
company, shook hands with his Mime
apolis friends yesterday. He looks well,
although decidedly changed in his appear
ance owing TO the fact that he has been

Supt. Kelly of the Hastings & Dakota
branch claims that no action has been taken
relative to running shOrt-time suburban
trains for the accommodation of the Sew
enth warders. He says that it will be time
enough 10 take action when the road is
asked to do something of the kind.
-
Chairman Giddings of the executive com
mittee in charge OF the motor question, said
yesterday:
We are waiting for Mr.. Hill to return.
which may be at any time, and then intend to
see him on this matter, present our case 10
him upon its merits and see If he will not
give US Justice. We had good reasons for
thinking thar we should have had steam re-
stored to Washington avenue before this; in
fact, we had promise 10 that effect. No;
will not state from whom the promise came,
but IL came from such a source connected
with the motor management as led US 10 be-
lieve that IL would be carried out. It has not
been fulfilled. however, and while we are
waiting for the soda motor and hoping that it
will do all that is ext cited OF IL, We shall see
Mr.. Hill rs soon as he comes back. What we
demand is steam to Washington avenue until
some other equally reliable and rapid motor
can be had No, We have not heard from
Gen. Washburn.

Sunday was DR.. Samples eighteenth an

he yesterday read at the pastors meeting.

Sunday papers without giving the papers
