DAYToNA, February 1.
To-day was one of extreme interest on
the East Coast. extending from Ormohd
to New Smyrna. All residents and Wis
itors were enthusiastic over the gala day
which marks the occurrence of the an
nual tournament held at Ormond.
Long before the hour appointed for
departure, crowds of people paced the
platforms around our depot, waiting pa
tiently for signal to board the train
for Ormond. Though little advel tise-
ment was attempted, everybody, seem
ing to have scented amusement afar,"
was out to be witness of the great event.
At :45 D. M. sharp, the special train in
creased to twice its usual length, pulled
out of Daytona, amid shouts and hur-
rahs from the multitude, with fully a
third of her population. There was not
| a place on the train, from tender to rear
platform, unoccupied, the largest crowd
of passengers that ever left the town.
From what we learn, every person
bound to the tournament, man, woman
and child, from ragamuffin to million
| aire, enjoyed himself or herself hugely,
| and came home sober on the evening
| train, to entertain their less fortunate
| neighbors with stories of Florida knight
hood. A handsome turnout also awaited
| the evening train bound for the Hotel
| Ormond. We judge that about one
hundred and fifty also left here this
evening to spend few hours in the par
lors of our neighbors' spacious hotel.

Use every means to hold on to your

Always keep your designs and business

Great bargains can only be secured in
any market by being on the spot.
1t is easy to sell goods if they are well
suited to your trade and bought right.
Avoid litigation as much as possible,

Have the courage to discharge a debt
while you have the money in your pocket.
The man who borrows money and
then borrows trouble is in sheol sure
enough.
Prefer small profits and certain re-
turns to large profits and uncertain SEN
timents.
Difficulties, like thieves, often disap-
pear at a glance; therefore always face
difficulty.
Punctuality in money matters leads to
prosperity and confidence and the basis
of credit.
In buying, study carefully the wants
of your trade and buy with that end al

Adhere strictly to your business.
There may be difficulties to overcome,

Thousands of merchants fail not from
the shrinkage of values, but from credit
ing unwisely and too much.
Be polite, prompt, decisive, civil and

CALIFORNIA; Boom Looks Unhealthy

Chicago National Hotel Reporter.
Some of the Eastern hotel men who
caught the California fever and started
out on prospecting expedition at the
beginning of the season, are retracing
their steps. One of them-a man of
considerable means-arrived in Cnicago
last week and stated to the editor of this
paper that he had looked over the State
very thoroughly, from San Francisco to
the Arizona line. and failed to see any
where with the possible exception
of Los Angeles) promising
field for hotel business. At
Los Angeles, he said the hotels are
making money, but rents and real estate
are so high there that the boom begins
to wear an unhealthy look He visited
the mammoth Hotel del Coronado, at
Coronado Beach, and found that house
practically untenanted, except by en-
ployees, of whom there were about two
hundred. The hotel, he said. was far
from being completed and it will prob
ably be late in the season before guests
can be properly entertained there.
The real estate scheme in con-
nection with the building of
the Coronado has been very successful,
however, to its projectors. He was at
Riverside about three weeks ago and
saw ice nearly quarter of an inch thick
and orange trees hurt by the frost. One
of the most attractive houses he saw
was the San Gabriel, near Pasadena. He
was told the Raymond at Pasadena
showed falling off in business as COM
pared with last season. His observa-
tions all along the line convinced him
that the boom is very much inflated and
that the bottom must drop out of it be-
fore long.

According to r. G. Dun s. Co. S weekly
trade review, telegraphed to THE PA
LATKA News, last night, money accu-
mulates fast in New York banks and
some six months loans have been made
at four per cent. There is a plethora in
money owing to slackening in manu-
facture and an indisposition to invest in
new enterprises.
Business, while not brisk, is on safe
basis. There is little speculation. What
increase there is in the volume of trade
IS all In legitimate business.
Large amounts of foreign capital con-
tinue to come into the country for in
vestment in Southern and Western
lands and mortgages, but still larger
amount has been withdrawn.
As whole the report shows that the
tariff agitation is having but little effect
on legitimate mercantile activity. When
1T has been determined where Congress
will prune the overweening tariff the
country may expect great revival in
business in all lines according to the
present signs.

There is great excitement, it seems, in
Kentucky over tobacco, growing out of
the tact that there is a scarcity. Spain
is short of tobacco and her purchases
seem to have cleaned out the New York
warehouses.
The demand seems to be principally
for dark low grades. Purchases are
made in the tobacco growing regions for
immediate shipment. As much az 800
an acre is paid IN rent for good fields, or
almost enough to buy good cleared
Florida hammock land.
There viii be great acreage planted
in tobacco this year, but signs point
toward good market for tobacco next
year nevertheless.

Some of our contemporaries express
the hope that Congress will refuse to pay
the bill of Thoebe, $4.700, for expenses
in contesting the seat of John G.. Car
Isle. This contest was based ON the
most frivolous grounds and would not
have been brought if Thoebe had not
been urged on by malicious politicians
and Republican clamor, yet we believe the
House of Representatives would make
mistake in throwing out the bin alto
gether. Not the least obstacle should be
thrown in the way of justice. The
country can not afford to have a cloud
GA the title to his seat of any of its repre-
sentatives. The practice in general has
been to pay these bills. 1t has always
been felt that the way should be clear to
present any case of fraud in election to
the public attention. Had the Thoebe
charges not been carefully investigated
there would have been doubt in the
minds of many thousands of voters
whether the Speaker of the House of
Representatives had any right to a seat
in that body.
