the grounds were not thronged. On the
day following the opening, Sunday, the
25th, special excursions brought large
numbers to Lakewood, and some 500
are said to have been on the grounds.
But during the week the assemblies
ranged from fifty to two hundred, except
on concert evenings, when about twice
the latter number were present.
Though quite hastily planned, DR..
Townsend's school was able by the friend,
ly offices OF some Unitarian and Univer-
salist clergymen who had become inter-
ested in him, to advertise a rather
unusual array of teaching talent Ex-
President Hill of Harvard, DR.. A. P.
Peabody, President Cone, Dr.. E. L.
ReNford, Pres. Livermore, Prof. Long of
Antioch, DR.. McWhinney of the Christian
denomination, Prof Barber of Meadyille,
DIR. j. II. BiXby of Ann ArbOr, and your
correspondent, were all secured to give
lectures. Some Interruptions of the
advertised order have occurred; but it
is remarkable that so many men, COM
ing such distances to an assembly about
which so little was known, should have
responded so promptly. Among those
who have been present thus far are five
Universalist clergymen, three of the
Christian connection, one Independent.
besides DR.. Townsend and six Unita
rians.
The Rev. F. J. Chase, of Sherman.
preached a thoughtful and forcible SER
mon on the Kingdom of Heaven, on Mon
day; the Rev. L. A. Mason, Union City,
(Unitarian) another on Pure Religion. On
Sunday DR.. Townsend and DR.. Rexford
preached. On Tuesday Dr.. Cone gave a
lecture on the Gospel History and In
spiration, and on Thursday he preached
strong and finished sermon ON the
Heroic in Christianity. DR.. Peabody
began his lectures ON Ethics Tuesday,
and has continued them each day since.
DIR. Atwood gave his three lectures on
"The Permanent Bases of Theology" on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and
preached on Sunday evening, Aug. l.
Miss Mary F. Eastman, of Tewkesbury,
Mass, lectured on the Indian Question
Friday evening, and preached on I'M
mortality Sunday evening. We have on
the average four solid discourses, one
hour in length, each day. Such themes
as Theology, Ethics, Hebrew Literature.
Ethnic Religions, The Relations of Sci
ence and Religion, Skepticism, .Interpre-
tation and Inspiration, supply the major
part of the course. Sandwiched among
these profound subjects are lighter and
more popular topics, but the average
diet is very strong.
Yesterday, being the second Sunday
since the School opened, was looked for
ward to with anxiety by some and an
ticipation by others. 1t was expected
to test somewhat the public interest in
the movement. Excursion trains brought
several hundred to the grounds, but a
heavy rain which began just about mid
day postponed till next Sunday the ques-
ton of the popularity of the Il. S. Mt"
in this region. Considering the regency

shall probably never have q better
opportunity to show with what alacrity
I can obey; and so, without ado, j hasten
to send this letter before taking my de-

The movement has it's origin and ins
.spiration in J. G. Townsend, b. d.. at
pyesent pastor OF an Independent congre-
CATION in Jamestown, thriving young
city at the foot OF Lake eliautauqlia.
For eighteen years prior to last fall.
Dir. Townsend had Been a member and
minister 81 the N. =. church. His last
settlement was over The Asbury NJ. F..
chur h in Buffalo. DR.. Townsends
standing among the Methodists was
of the best, and his retirement from
their church was due solely to ,hisown

town, where he had formerly been
settled and where he had many friends,
Mnd presently succeeded in organizing.
rae Independent congregation. He feels.
that his enterprise in jamestown has
already passed the stage of experiment..
He has by 'far the largest congregation
in the city. They have purchased
church property, and SO many men Of
wealth and influence have allied them
selves in this movement, and their at
tachlnent to DR.. Townsend is so strong.
that there is little danger OF failure or
even check so long as Dr. Townsend is
at the wheel. sH q
The School of New theology is a sug-
gestion derived from Dir. Townsend'ss s
environments to: speak after the
manner of the evolutionists. This is the
neighborhoodo of the famous Chautauqua
Summer .school. 1T is the idea of the
region, Lakewo9d, only four miles from
Chautauqua, is sone of the most delight-s
ful points on the shores of this,altogethe

would be a good place to have another
Summer School; and with the energy
and liberality Which have characterized 4
the Independent congregation, the
scheme was quickly matured, and the

Townsend christened it, was advertised

Thought Needed.

In our local columns of yesterday were
given the particulars of panic which
inflicted serious fear on some of our citi-
zens and endangered the personal safety
of many ladies and children. In a hall
densely crowded, several hundred people
just before in the quiet enjoymen of the
pleasantest emotions. were suddenly
rendered as insensible to reason as a
herd of stampeded cattle, and rushed
headlong from the presence of danger
con jured up by their own fancies on the
slightest grounds. There were notable
exceptions, but not even the fixed bay
onets of the Guards could have stopped
the crowd.
And had the gentlemen sustained the
part which naturally devolves upon them
On such an occasion, no fear or danger
could have come to ladies or children.
We sa " strong men stand on chairs and
yell aloud in tones we'll calculated to
drive a nervous woman into a luna
tic asylum; burly giants plunged
into the crowd and elbowed women
and children right and left so that
for a time the staircase was filled
by a mass of struggling arms and legs
before which the weak went down
and were trampled under foot.
To think that there was no dan
ger of the least harm, and no necessity
for the least exertion, To think that
some are proud even now of the vehe-
mence with which they ordered others
TO sit down while they frantically ell
bowed their own way to the staircase,
1t is surely pitiable. Rather than have
another such scene we had better call up
the people of Palatka at regular intervals
and have fire drills" as they do aboard
ship.

cerated for eighteen years for poisoning,
as alleged, her brother, in order to col

the dead brother was entirely untrust,

These ordinary measures may serve for

OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL.
TAR .u.GGE1- EIa nan III 1884


Hon. w. ID. Barnes, Conn trollcr:
SIR: In reply TO your inquiries concern
ing the effect of Article NIX of the New
Constitution will have upon the statutes
of the State providing for and regulating
the issuance of licenses to sell liquor, and
especially AS TO chapter 3,4l6 entitled
IAN act TO Regulate the Sale of Liquors,
Wines and Beer in the State of Florida
by the Boards Of County Comm issioners
of the several Counties, have the honor
to return the following opinion:
The elections authorized by Article
XIX, to be held in the several counties.
are TO determine only whether the sale of
the liquors specified are to be prOhibfcd:
there Is nothing inconsistent with the
operation of the statutes as to licensing
or regulating such sales in counties
or precincts where they shall not have
been prohibited. Chapter 34l6 pre-
scribes a part of the procedure for the
issuance of such license. 1t does not deal
with the question of whether or not the
sale of liquor shall be prohibited in the
precinct, but only requires certain things
10 he done 10y each individual applying
for such license; among others, that he
shall procure, as an Endorsement Of his
application, the signatures of a majority
of the registered voters of the precinct to
his petition.
Such a requirement Is Legitimate eX-
ercise of the police power of the State for
regulating and licensing the sale of such
liquors, entirely distinct from the prohi-
bition of such sales. State er rel. Brown,
10 Fla, 1913. There is no repeal in terms
by Article XIX of the statutes concern
ing the licensing of the selling of liquor,
and / see no such Inconsistency between
said Article and the statutes as will ope-
rate as a repeal by implication. In those
localities in which prohibition shall be
voted. as provided by said article, such
statutes will not be operative; elsew here
they will remain IN operation.
Whether elections can be held under
Article NIX without further legislation
is question not embraced in your in
quirIes and not touched by this opinion.
Very resi- ectfuliy,
G. VI. COOPER, Attorney General.

DE Lesscps' remarkable strength in his
old age comes from his good habits, and his
power TO sleep. He has taught himself
to sleep at any time, and it is said that he
can sleep whole day and night at a
stretch. He sleeps during his railroad jour
neys. He sleeps all the time he Is on ship
board, and when necessity demands it he
can go for long time without sleep. He
is n great out IF door man. He likes to
hunt even i'll his eighticth year, and it is
not long since that he was accustomed TO
take cold bath every morning. Like
Bancroft, he is very fond of horseback
riding, and one of the sights of the Bots de
Boulogne the great woods of Paris, is De
Lesseps mounted on horseback and accom-
panied by his children on ponies going
on trot or Gallop through its wide roads.
There is nothing nervous about the Count
de LesScIs. He never loses his head, and
he is always as cool as. in the words of
John Randolph, the center seed of Gu
cumber. year or two ago he fell from
his horse and broke his arm. He refused
to have it bandaged, put it in his vest in
stead of n sling, and kept it 50 for a couple
of days, after which he said it was wen.
His face changes little in conversation. He
does not show his enSer, and his energy
never wcakens. People in France say
that they think he will live forever-Chi-

they buy in imported tin cans. There
are few imported articles of diet that can
not be successfully grown in Marion

or indifference, little attention has ever

We are obtaining from every availa-
Bile trustworthy source well-considered
information as to the orange crop of
this season and its movement to market.
We believe only thus can any definite
idea be gaineu of the true sources of the
crop, its real dimensions and its direc-
ton in the movement to market. Upon
the statistics thus gained must be predi-
Gated our calculations for the future and
our preparations for handling the crop
of next year. We have shown that
from the Halifax region. where the har-
vest has scarcely begun, over 10000
boxes have been carried over the White
Railroad. An idea of the business done
by the Florida Southern Railroad may be
gained from the statement that during
the first nineteen days in December,
that road shipped Sc $50 boxes from one
of its stations. We have been requested
by the National Bureau to forwards ia
tistics of the crop, and the figures prom
ised by the officers of the F. s. and ST.

be instructive as we'll as interesting.
