Having Pleasure without Caring for Expense
Tennis.


Correspondence OF the Daily Neios
DAYToSA, January %.
Tourists are certainly taking the East
Coast by assault. All who come to us
seem to be bent on having the best time
that our section will afford, regardless of
what we call expense The last evil
dence of this is shown by Lawyer Smiths
family and friends chartering the
teamer Clara, for an outing on the In
dian River. This party, consists Of the
lawyers entire family, his mother, Mrs.
Clements and maid, Miss Florence
p. Clements and Miss Matte Welsh.
The party is well prepared for all
such pleasures as camping, hunting,
fishing, surf bathing, shell gathering
and innumerable others that will present
themselves when those named have be-
come irksome. George &. Smith, one of
the party, tells me that ne intends TAX
ing three hundred rounds of ammuDi-
ton, which is the remnant of "A large
supply recently brought from Cincin-
natl, for just such occasions. He re-
grets his inability to buy more in Day
tona, but consoles himself with the hope
that Titusville or Rockledge will come to
the front when their steamer is loaded
with dead game. Among other formidable
enemies To the animal kindom at Jupiter
are three double shot guns and huge
mastiff, the largest ever seen by the
natives" Ii is expected that the party
will return about February 10.
Captain John X. Tuttle succeeded,
after weeks dickering with Mr.. John
son. of Port Orange, purchasing from the
the latter steamer Spray. 1t will be used
henceforth as a tug and pleasure yacht.
for charter to tourists wishing TO cruise
on the Halifax, Hillsborough and Indian
Rivers.
The young people have found new
source of amusement in lawn tennis,
which they play on our beach, which
seems thoroughly adapted to the sport.
While as yet it has attracted hut few
players it promises to he one OF the
amusements of the coast. The credit for
the introduction of tennis on our sea-
board is due To George G. Smith.

any steps toward establishing such an
enterprise. We have it upon good

ready to supply the trade by the first

posed of men who have sufficient
means to carry a stock Of goods here
equal to any Knoxville house. The
store room now occupied by John
Nathes will be used by the new COM
pany. Work will be commenced at
once digging out the cellar in order to
give all the room possible. Neighbor.
ing towns can buy goods in Johnson
City at Knoxville prices and save
freight. This is an enterprise that will
be oil great benefit to Johnson City
and it is only question Of time until
there will be other wholesale houses
opened here for there is no better place

The tone of the Republican press
some of the New York newspapers es-
pecially-in regard to the canvass is
to be deplored. From this violence
and inyection. The country this year
does not seek an angry, truculent can
vass, The issue is largely fiscal, in
volving the business prosperity and
the welfare of the people. 1t does not
mean the Union as in 1864, or the
maintenance OF the national credit as
in 1868. There are no burning foreign
questions, always dangerous, thanks
tr Mr.. Bayard's conservative manage
ment OF the State Department and his
acceptance Of the principle that other
nations have their rights as well as the
United States.
The canvass presents no personal
scandals, no religious issues, no race
contest. The attempt to present the
st. Louis platform as free trade issue
is simply deceit. Does labor have its
rights? Are war taxes q crime
Should workingmen be taxed to ena
BILE the iron and coal barons to amass
gigantic fortunes?
These are the questions of this cam
paign, to be met calm, cogent reason
ing. They do not invite an angry
truculent, temper-corroding canvass
1t is business fight and should b.
conducted on business principles
that is to say, with wisdom, patience
and courtesy.-N Y. Herald.

SENATOR MORGAN, in answer to a
hombastic statement made by Mr..
Blair, in relation to the fisheries
treaty and Canadian matters, defined
the position of the democratic party
on this question very clearly. He
said he did not want war. He knew
what war meant, He had seen enough
Of it, and knew that If war came be-
tween England and the United States,
it would mean the killing of great
many people, The democratic party,
with the backbone of Andrew Jackson,
would not make any foolish quarrel,
but il war came, would stand by the
country, right or wrong, The repub-
lisans might mean joke, might mean
some traffic, some swapping of knives,
or chaftering about contact, but the
democratic party meant business, The
Senator, at the conclusion of his re.
marks, referred sarcastically to the
bomb proof war records of some of the
loud mouthed republican Senators
He also reminded the republicans Of
the fact that Mr.. Cleveland had de
feated them every time he had come
in contact with them, and that he
would do so again this year.

An India Rubber Hand.

New York Herald.
In the manufacture of appliances to
replace members of the human body
which for some reason OF other lave
been lost, extraordinary perfection has
been reached, but artificial hands,
which enable the possessor TO write
egibly, are a modern invention.
There is boy in New Jersey so
equipped, however. He was employ
cd in some India rubber works at what
is called "feeder," his duty having
been to stand near some huge iron
rollers and throw scraps of rubber
and whilst so employed-owing, no
doubt, to his carelessness--his bands
were caught in the wheels and crushed
to pulp. A workman who heard his
shrieks ran forward, stopped the ma
chiEery, and released the mutilated
boy who was far less injured by the
shock than was anticipated, though
amputation was necessary. In four
weeks he was able to leave tho hospital
well in health, but with stumps below
his elbows, and then it was that the
idea OF supplying him with a pair Of
India rubber hands was started The
lad can not only write very plainly
but he declares that his new hands dc
not seemin the least unnatural to him
and that he shakes hands with people
who do not know OF his loss. and they
never perceive the difference.
