Miss Henrietta c. Brandt and Frederick Koe- nig were engaged, and after the invitations of their marriage were out they discussed the question of the ceremony. Miss Brandt de- sired brilliant reception; MT. Koenig ob- jected. A quarrel ensued, and the engage ment was broken. Not long afterward Koe- nig married another girl, and Miss Brandt brought this suit for breach of promise. The jury awarded her substantial damages on the ground that she had not been unreasonable in her desire for a reception, and that the in' tended bridegroom was foolishly obstinate in opposing it.
 A little girl was out on the sidewalk in Brooklyn with her little brother. He left her for few minutes and she started to go alone wagon ran over and killed her. Her father sued the ice company for damages and got 8 verdict. The company carried the case to the Court of Appeals, where it's lawyers claimed that it was gross negligence for parent to allow little child to go into the street or on to the sidewalk without some competent per- son to take care of 1t. The court decides LnaG It IS noG neSugence to oo so, 6ho uoios the company liable in damages. Here is what Judge Earl says on the subject: Hundreds of young children are permitted with general safety, and must be permitted in cities, to anuse themselves on the sidewalks, and they cannot always be attended by persons of dis cretion. The highest prudence would doubt less require that they should be so guarded, but it cannot be said as matter of law that ordinary prudence forbids that bright child, four and half years old, properly instructed and cautioned. should go unattended on 8 sidewalk for diversion.

This is what the Republicans have been fighting for. and will vote for tomorrow: We are uncompromisingly in favor of the American system of protection; we protest against its destruction as proposed by the president and his party. They serve the in- terests of Europe. We will support the in- terests of America. We accept the issue, and confidently appeal to the people for their judgment. The protective system must be maintained.
 It is interesting to see that even in Eng land, where cooperation has had some suc- cess, the leading friends of that method of production are Respondent. MT. Thon Hughes, for example, in addressing Coop erators' society at Bury recently, frankly said at the outset that ''co~operation on the pro- ductive side in most parts of the country has been hitherto considerable failure" Seek ing the cause of this, he finds it to be in bad management. These are called democratic times, and people say that one man is as good as another. Nevertheless, experience shows that some men are more capable than others in handling large works and dealing witt men. Cooperative enterprises cannot sue ceed unless they can get these superior mer at the head of their affairs.

GALA WEEK BALL.
PALATKA'S SOCIETY AT THE DANCE
The Gem City Guards and their Military
Guests Acquit Themselve. Handsome
iy--what News Reporter Saw.

The grand military ball last night at
the Guards Armory was grand sue
cess. The leading lights OF Palatkas
best society were out in large numbers.
and the armory ball inclosed a bright
and animated scene. The grand march
at about o'clock was participated in by
about fifty couples, and they gave the
onlooker most favorable impression of
Palatka's fair daughters as they moved
around the room, shedding grace and
beauty at every step and fairly making
the head of the gazer dizzy with mingled
emotions of delight and admiration.
The uniforms of the Gainesville and
Gem City Guards here and there dotted
the line Of the gaily marching jewellers,
and merfiIy as wedding bell the gay
march went on till it broke up for the
lancers.
Many charming faces and forms were
to be seen, but THE PALATKA DAILY NEWS
has no jenkins on its staff, and al
though each member is aesthetic in his
tastes. our columns cannot describe in
detail each feature of the beauties of the
city. Palatka, however, acknowledges
no superior and but few equals in this
regard.
The management OF the ball was
placed By the executive committee of
the Gala Week in the hands OF Mr.. G. j..
Joseph, and that gentleman is to be
congratulated upon his success. AS
master of ceremonies last night, Mr.. Jo-
seph was equally successful.
The reception committee consisted of
Major w. z. Copper, Captain r. w. Da-

Miss Adelaide Randall Once More Ap-
pears Before Pslatka Audience.
Last evening Adelaide Randall, the
talented American prina donna, with
her oporatic troupe appeared once
more before the citizens of Palatka at
Fry's Opera House, in the amusing opera
Princess of Trebizonde," Offenbachs
famous comedy. Miss Randall fasci-
mated her audience, and time and again
elected warm applause from all who
were so fortunate as to be present and
hear her beautiful voice in the rendition
of the role of prince Raphael" Some
enthusiastic member of the audience
placed bouquet on the stage upon her
first appearance, which she received in
the most gracious manner.
Miss Gertie Hoyt, as ''Zanetta," pre-
scented her part in an exceedingly pleas
ing way, and in fact all that was said Of
the different members of this company
in our last issue might well be repeated
here with good advantage. Suffice it to
say that they all tiid we'll, and they leave
a deep impression upon the minds
of Palatkas theatre-g going people of their
ability as actors and actresses.

SAUBLE.
The Brick Business Success Another Cigar
Manufactory-Saub Points.


Correspondence Of the Palatso Neans.
SAUBLE, February Is.
Sauble is ON deck, Messrs. gentlemen
of THE PALATKA News. Here the long
expected, much experimental on, clay
brick business has become a success.
The bricks are there, and the great
Florida show car running North and
South has had Sauble brick, not in Mr.
Webb's hat, but rolling along in said
car with all sorts of other Florida Curl.
Gus things.
Mr.. Moses partner in this business
will build a brick house soon out of his
own brick. Your correspondent has seen
them handled. and knows there are as
good brick in Sauble as can be found
North, South, East or West. Then Mr.
Ekey and son are aiding Mr. Moses with
a living interest in the same business.
So much for brick, a great desideratum
in Florida
And this same Mr.. Moses being cigar
manufacturer proposes TO build brick
cigar mandatory. So we in Putnam
County are to have two tobacco factor
les in the near future, the Cuban factory
and the Saubie establishment So mote
it be and more profit to them ..all and
sundry," as the legal fraternity are wont
to say. Apropos of tobacco there is a
large amount of land out here in Sauble
being prepared for tobacco growing. And
if not, why not, grow plenty of tobacco
in Florida? Come gentlemen farmers,
stir your stumps, ana grow the weed all
over the State, as you can do the thing
Put your hand and shoulder to the
wheel and push the weed to success.
We were delighted to see Mr.. Stew
| art, of railroad fame, grubbing piece of
palmetto land, as we rushed toward the
Sauble depot. Unlike Micawber wait
ing for something to turn up" this gentle
| man just at present having nothing else
to do began turning the soil preparatory
| to putting out an orange grove. Good boy,
and may his shadow never be less, and
| may other young men be there to see
and initiate his noble example.
Well, things are moving in this coun-
| try, which should be called North Pa
| latka, being only dimes worth of a
| ride from the Gem of the St. Johns.
Then the river, viewed from the
| dwelling of Mr.. Saubie. the daddy of
| the place, is most delightful. Here the
river craft of all descriptions are seen
gliding and racing up and down the
river, and a noble school teacher may bs
seen from the Sauble landing pulling her
| way to or from school in the distance.
Sometimes she is in luck and has a
nice bland gentleman to do her rowing,
but not always, as business calls him
| away.
We had a moment to spare as the train
came rushing along and so called at Sau-
BILE school house, where Miss Matte
| Sauble has an excellent though small
school. Then we had some business with
Mr.. Whiten, whose brick house speaks
Volumes for the brick business of the
place. And this people has gentleman

county in speed or durableness-anoth

This place is getting to be quite g

are planted with all sorts of vegetables

A SelfRaisIng Nose.
Newport Post

An actor was playing in farce in
which it was necessary for him to use a
large dough nose. One night when
he got to the theater he found no -four,
and he sent the boy out for some. Back
came the boy, the nose was made and
whipped on. Presently, to the horror
of the actor, the nose began to swell
until at length in the midst of an impor-
tant passage, it burst and fell to the
ground. 1t had been made of self
raising flour, and the heat of the actor
face had accomplished the catastrophe.
