Through the kindness of Mrs. Col.
Thomas, we are permitted to publish the
following entertaining letter, which many
of our readers will take delight in perus-
ing:
JACKSONVILLE, March 81.
DEAR AUNT
1t occurred TO nae that you might be in
terested in reading letter from Florida.
1t will doubtless seem strange TO you to
read that I am writing with the windows
and doors open, and feeling uncomforta-
BILE in my Winter clothing, which do not
think best TO lay aside yet, for we have
variable weather here, rs well as in the
North. Whenever you have blizzard,
wo feel the effect of it in chilly winds
but they only last for n short time-out-
wardly the landscape has the appearance
of 81 ring; roses are blooming in the gar
dens; also verbenas, fox, candy. .tuft, and
pinks, and the climbing vines are a mass
of bloom. The beautiful Cherokee roses
form hedges, their blossoms looking at Il
distance as if snow had fallen. The tame
honeysuckle and wisteria look rs they do
at home in the month of June. The trees
are entirely different from ours-so many
with dark glossy leaves. First of all
stands the orange, with its golden fruit,
and white waxey blossoms, amid shining
green leaves, it is a popularity Of this
tree, that the frGit hangs ON after blossoms
appear. The date palm, Spanish bayonet,
and palmetto, are all tropical trees, and
add to the beauty of the landscape; the
forest trees are Cines, live oaks, and mag
nOlias; the latter is said to have a beauti-
full white flower, rich in perfume; It

their throats cut on March s, 1886,

While being taken to Jail Cook told
his story. 1t was that, while serving
his fourth term in the peniteHtiary for
horse stealing, he became acquainted
with Henry Wortbington, also a con.

in October, 1887, he met Wortbington
again. Then be made an appoint

and arrange for the robbery of an old
couple in Allegheny who always kept
a large sum of money in their house.

to murder, though he did not object to

Everhart murder. One of the party
had been separated from the other two
in the woods while the three were coon
hunting, and during that time Worth.

BLOOMING FLORIDA.

following entertaining letter, which many

that the earnings were light last year., owing
to the fact that the interstate III law
went into operation about that time and cur
tailed the movement of all kinds of property
temporarily.
Prices of all kinds of stocks were we'll sup
ported, though the extreme figures were not
fully maintained in all cases. The aggregate
sales on the New York stock exchange for
the week were $685. 600 shares.
Speculative trading was again quite active
on the board during the past week, though
interest conferred largely in grain, trading in
provisions being lighter than the week
previous. While prices fiuctuated consider
ably and quite frequently the extremes were
confined within narrow limits. Advices from
Europe were more pacific as regards political
affairs, and the markets for both grain and
provisions were steadier, though not very
active. Advices from growing crops were
not very favorable, and in most cases in
dlcated a decreased yield compared with the
average crops. Seeding throughout the
greater portion of the west is decidedly
backward = at least two weeks late-and the
acreage will be somewhat changed, with
more attention given to articles which have
been more remunerative to the producer dur
ing the past twelve months. These features
have been q little more encouraging and im-
proved prices for grain, yet the appreciation
was comparatively small and in some cases not
fully supported. The season of lake naviga-
ton is at land and the outlook now is re-
garded favorable for an active shipping
movement during the summer months.
Freights are low both from the west and the
sea board and there apparently is no good
reason why liberal quantities of grain should
not be transferred to consuming districts at
present prices. Receipts of gram have en-
larged to some extent at most of the western
markets and provisions are being forwarded
to speculative ~centers. Stock of grain
and provisions are gradually increasing,
not to such an extent, however,
as to cause any uneaslness. Shipments to
the seaboard have been fair. The eastern
markets were stronger with the prices of
most articles favorable to sellers. May, June
and July deliveries met with the most favor
though deferred deliveries attracted some at
tention. Quite an active business was tran
sacted in all leading markets in transferring
contracts ahead at the current differences.
The export movement was moderately free,
especially of provisions. Arrivals of live
stock were quite free at all western markets
and prices have declined somewhat, The
packing of hogs in the west is progressing
fayorably.

WHY, DENIS WENT EAST.
The Chinese Minister'S OiI-Room
Has Its Effect.

Odd Fellows hall was we'll filled with
a motley crowd, including a few deter
mined-looking women, who had gath
cred to hear the irrepressible Denis
Kearney explain why he went east and
what he didlwhile there, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. The crowd was
in a jovial mood, and cheerfully accept
ed his u~tterances and laughed vocifer-
ously at his Witticisms. The appearance
OF the speaker was the signal of APP
plause, and as he was about to speak one
of the MISUNDERSTANDING women pre-
sent presented him with a huge bou-
quet. This manifestation Of peace and
good will made Denis feel happy,
and he at once launched out upon his
subject.
In starting out the speaker said that
with the Swift treaty of 1880 and the
restriction act no Chinese laborer could
have landed here had the federal Judge
properly construed the law. Last year
this question of yellow slavery took on
a new phase. The Canton slave
dealers and their American man
dealing agents formed a combina-
ton with a London syndicate of
capitalists. This syndicate leased
from Canada the Canadian Pacific
railroad, whose Pacific terminus is Van
couver, for twenty-five years. Their
next step wa to induce Lord Salisbury,

at all are made to stop the thousands

concluded by saying that Mr. Cleve-
land would be the democratic nominee;
that he could not carry this coast on ac-
count of his opposition to the silver dol
lar, his free trade and pro-Chinese
views. He knows this himself. He
don't care for our coast. If he were to
take u side of these questions he
would lose New York with her thirty
six electoral votes, and the election. He
has a powerful backing in that city.
The English goldbugs and b%ondholders
of Wall street, the English and other

lobbyists of foreign manufacturers, and
shipbuilding associations, whose head
quarters are in New York are all, with
their unlimited wealth, behind Mr..
Cleveland. They will make II desper-
ate effort to reflect him."

A MODERN ST, PATRICK.
A Snake Killer That Turns the Venom
INFO the Kenti!e,s Own Veins.

Into the Reptiles Own Veins.
The Lexington (Ky.) Transcript has
received the following dispatch from
Richmond, KY: Patrick Cunningham,
OF this place. is death to snakes and
venomous reptiles of all kinds. The
snake hat bites him, dies in great
agony, frothing at the mouth, and
swelling to almost double its former pro-
portion. Cunningham has discovered
a poison more deadly than that of the
reptile, but harmless AS a lotion for the
human body, and the moment the fangs
of the snake come in contact with it,, a
powerful electrical current is generated
that drives the snakes own poison
through every blood vessel in its
body. Blood poisoning is the result,
which, with the terrible electric
shock, causes almost instant death.
Cunningham killed during last sum
mer YER 1900 snakes in Madison
county, and realized quite a handsome
sum by his wonderful skill in driving
those offensive reptiles from the prem
to be called in. He n locate a den of
snakes by their scent as easily us a dog
can track a rabbit. Cunningham is
rather a small man of very dark com
plexion, with q thick mat of dark hair.
He was born in India, near Calcutta. 1t
was in the jungles of India that Cum
ningham discovered from the natives
the formula for making the deadly
lotion SO fatal TO poisonous reptiles. The
natives all anoint themselves with it,
and are thus rendered snake proof.
Cunningham says he will keep On
killing and driving the snakes until
there is not one in the state of Ken
lucky, if the people will only pay him
for it. OF course that would be an i'm
possibility for one man TO accomplish,
but he says he likes the business and
hopes to do a good work in the state if
his life and health arc only spared a few
years.
Freaks Of Lightning In the Oil Regions
In a dispatch from Tionesta, Pa, the
New York Sun gives this strange tale:
During the frightful thunder storm that
passed over the oil regions on last Fri
day afternoon Simon Frey was in his
barn looking out OF the door. A blind
ing flash Of Lightning was followed al
most Immediately by a terrific thunder
clap, and Frey saw a ball of fire run
along a clothes line from a post in the
yard to q corner of the house, TO which
Que end of the line was fastened. When
the ball struck the house Frey saw the
splinters fly from the timbers, and the
ball disappeared.
Frey's wife and baby were in the
house. Ae ran to tho house 10 see il
they we're injured, He found the baby
lying in m corner of the kitchen and
his wife in the middle OF the floor.

According to the latest official
statement published by the authori-
ties of Russia, there are in that coun-
try not less than $4,000 square miles
of oil-producing land, but of this
vast territory the field at Baku is
the only one worked, and even this
covers only the limited space of some
three and one-half square miles. The
output is enormous, and the fact is
stated by one who witnessed the open
ing of well in that locality that a
column of oil spurted to a height of
100 feet. carrying great stones with it,
the flow continuing until large lake
Of petroleum was formed. The pro-
duct is refined on the spot, the residue
being used as fuel for steamers and
railways.-Ex.

Examiner Antisell, of the patent
office, after examining the various
inks used on type-writers, pronounces
all but black to be fugitive-red and
purple particularly so. For this rea-
son these latter should not be used for
permanent records. Black record
ribbons and a black, indelible copying
were found to fulfill all the necessary
indications of permanence. An adj
vantage accrues in the use of the type
writer over the pen for records, due
to the ink soaking more deeply and
being forced below the surface Of the
paper by the impact of the machine.
1t thus becomes more difficult to be
removed by chemical agencies.-Ex.
