A Tribute to Rev. c. n. Daniels.

W nCfs ~ banlGlSs
To the Editor of the Press:
The retirement of Rev. C. FL. Daniels from
the pastorate of the Second Parish church,
will occasion sincere regret to the people of
that church and to the citizens of Portland
generally. The requirements of that pasto-
rate are sufficient to tax the largest ability
and the fullest measure of energy. Mr.
Daniels. has successfully met them. He
easily found his way to the hearts of his
people, and to the confidence of the commu-
nifty. His popularity outside his parish has
kept pace with his popularity within it. The
church around which are gathered the men,
cries OF century of pastoral fidelity will
suffer large loss in the going of pastor who
has labored for it with unwearied spirit, and
has given to it his best service.
:. desire to place on record my apprecia-
ton Of the personal friendship of Mr. Dam
iels. and of what has come to me through 1t
on my visits to Portland also my congratu-
lati0ns on his election to so honorable po-
sition as that of the New York secretary
ship of the American Board.

DECORATE! DECORATED!

Whether there is to be grand public
demonstration, according to the pro-
gramme outlined in Sundays DAILY
NEWS, or not, the decoration of the ho-
te.'s, stores, public buildings and private
homes, whether along the line of march
cor not. should be done with all the ex-
penditure of money, taste and skill,
which the several owners can afford or
command.
Every attempt at decoration by day
and illumination by night, however
humble, will be a direct personal COM
pliment from the householder to the
Chief Magistrate of the nation, and, his
wife, always idolized and beloved by
the people of America in a far greater
degree than any hereditary sovereign of
the old world, and will be so accepted
both by the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land, whether they actually see it or
not, they will knor it, and that is
enough.
The decorations at the Ponce de Leon
will of course be grand and unique, and
no pains will be spared to make them so,
and the Casa Monica will be decorated
in purest Spanish style, its grand and
massive battlements, arches, log las and
balconies draped in rich stuffs of all col
.ors, and the lady guests will be arrayed
in Spanish costume.
The Florida House has engaged COM
petent expert, and will look bravely.
The other hotels and public buildings
will also be appropriately ornamented.
Let every householder decorate and
illuminate his or her premises ON the
eventful day and evening.

FOR IMMIGRATION.

Hon. Walter Gwynn, ex-State Treas
urer, visited st. Augustine Saturday in
the interest of the Florida Immigration
ASSOCIATION, to urge upon our people
the organization of a branch of the as
ISOLATION. He has already set the ball
In motion In his own county, Orange,
with excellent results, membership of
nearly one hundred and fifty
being secured in Sanford, after
only an hours work The membership
fee is only one dollar, and the fund thus
raised is used for county and State inn
migration purposes, one-half TO each.
Mr.. Gwynn has left the matter in good
hands here, and it is to be hoped that a
good work will be done. THE DAILY
NEWS will do all it can to further
he purposes of the organization, but al
the same time hopes that some time IN
the future legislature may be elected
which will appropriate decent sum fol
Immigration purposes, and endeavor tt
see that it is honestly used.

Vandalism.

Among the crowds of people from all
parts of the State and country who visit
the Ponce de Leon only out of curiosity
there are many, of course, who do not
comprehend that while the house is a
public house. open to all who seek its
accomm odations and pay for them, it is
in no sense public free show, except so
far as the eagerness of the multitude to
enjoy its wonders incline the managers
to be indulgent.
To illustrate: Not many days ago a
man stfo5e into the parlors carrying wet
umbrella, the dripping, discolored water
from which was running the rich carpet.
The maid in charge politely called his
attention to the injury he vas doing.
The reply was that eve have carpets at
home as nice as this ''That may be"
was the response, but you do not wan
tonly injure them"
Another: A gentleman connected with
the house observing a visitor doing a
asked him if he did so in his own house!
He did not reply, but skunk away
ashamed, as well he might be.
Worst of all, two very rare and costly
vases. which ornamented the parlors.
have been broken by the carelessness of
sight-seers.
These things are exasperatlng to the
management in the highest degree, and
they could not be blamed if they should
become so impatient as to establish such
| regulations as would practically exclude
all but the guests of the house from all
portions of it save the rotunda and its
| annrnaches
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1888-02-21

that the order had been countermanded
| by Mr. Flagler on his arrival, as he
would not take the responsibility of thus
forestalling the desire of the people to
welcome the President to the city.
The report excited considerable debate,
based upon motion by Mr.. B. Genovar,
that the original programme be carried
out in full.
An amendment by Mr.. Gibbs, that the
meeting defer action until reply to Mr..
FIagler's telegram could be received, was
lost by a majority of one, and an amend
ment by Mr.. MacWilliams that the place
of debarkation he changed from the old
to the new depot on Orange street, if
deemed best by the executive committee
was carried, but the original motion as
thus amended was lost.
Mr. Sabin thereupon moved that the
original programme be adhered to in all
respects, which was carried by bare
| majority, and the meeting adjourned at
a late hour until this morning at 10
o'clock.
During the absence of the committee
to wait on Mr.. Flager, the matter of the
party of visiting Congressman and Sena-
tors was taken up. The chairman stated
| that telegram had been received from
Senator Call, addressed to Mr.. Flagler
| care of the postmaster at jacksonville,
and repeated from there to the effect that
| some forty Senators and members, with
| their wives, would accompany the Presi-
| Dental party and be the guests of the
| city, whereupon on motion of Mr.. Gibbs,
| it was decided that formal invitation
be at once sent to Messrs. Call and
Dougherty by telegraph, inviting the
party to be the guests of the city. which
was accordingly done by Mr.. Gibbs, who
was appointed committee for the pur-
pose.
During the deliberations of the meet
ing MIRO. K. Smith and DIR. j. K. Rainey,
the committee recently sent to pre-
sent the memorial about our bar and
harbor to the committees at Washing
ton. having Just returned, entered the
room and were received with applause,
and later Mr.. Smith gave a graphic ac-
count of the committees visit to the
President and the extension of the invi-
tation in person by them. A number OF
amusing and several almost tragical III
cidents occurred during the session, but
space forbids any detailed account OF
them.
A motion for a committee to request
the merchants of st. Augustine to Close
their stores from 10 o'clock a. NJ unit
after the arrival at the hotel of the pro

The outcome of the meeting being tina
the President must and shall be received
with civic and military honors, notwith
standing his request to the contrary, thu
various committees will of course pro
coed with their duties.
When the committees meet this morn
