Mr.. Henry G. Noah is New Yorker who
went TO Florida five years ago to engage in
the fruit business. No doubt he has been
well treated by Floridians, and in return
he goes north for few weeks and ISLANDERS
the people of his adopted home He says:
"Tho shotgun still plays most important
part in Florida politics, and while under a
free vote and a fair count l honestly believe
that the state would give republican
majority of 1900, unless the republicans
of tho north help us to prevent the intimi-
dation Of the colored voters, and TO secure
the correct counting of the vote after it is
cast am afraid that we stand a poor
show of carrying the state" Mr.. Noah's
attention is directed to the following facts:
l. Tho republican vote of Florida in 1884
was 1903 per cent Of the entire vote cast,
and in each of the congressional districts it
bore larger proportion TO the entire vote
than the colored voters bore to the total
voters Of that district. q In 1884 there
were more white mon who voted the repub-
lican ticket in Florida than colored men
who voted the democratic ticket In speak
ing of Florida politics, Mr.. Noah ought to
get nearer the truth

Robert oarrett,s Misfortune.

1t is admitted finally that Mr.. Robert
Garrett is insane 1t is probable that he
has been in that condition for two years or
more. The disease at first was very mild
so mild, in fact, that it was almost impossi-
bic to detect it. Even now he is not violent,
and perhaps knows what he is about the
greater part of tue time He has to be
closely guarded, however, and the little in
formation respecting his condition which
has been permitted to reach the public JUS
titles the conclusion that he is steadily
growing worse
He has been taken to a sacl uded house in
Northern New Jersey. There, with physi-
clans and nurses, it is probable he
will remain until it is determined whether
he has any chance of recovery. If it is
finally decided that ne is hopelessly insane,
he may BE- sent to an asylum. 1t is not i'm
probable, hoa ever, he may continue to
occupy his present quarters, where he can
have every attention, and where all his
needs can be properly ATTENDED to. His
immense fortune justifes his relatives in
pursuing the latter course.
1t is said that Mr. CARROTS mental
trouble began with the death of William
II. Vanderbilt He was talking with Mr..
Vanderbilt in the latter's parlor at the
time of that tragic event. His friends
noticed that from that day he appeared to
be greatly changed man. There were
times when he was moody and distracted
He lost his ability to apply himself closely
to business. Then came the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad troubles, which still further
disturbed his mental balance. When he
started on his trip abroad he acted SO
queerly as to excite a great deal of COM
ment. He returned, however, greatly im-
proved, and his improvement might have
continued had it not been for the news of
the drowning of his brother, whose yacht
was run down by a steamer.
Neither Robert Garrett nor his brother
possessed the business ability of their father,
who built up the great Baltimore and Ohio
system. 1t has been asserted that Mary
Garrett, sister of Robert, has a much
greater grasp Of business matters than
other of her brothers had. 1t is quite gen
orally understood that her influence is felt
in a marked degree in the management of
the Baltimore and Ohio system.

HOW LOVELY WOMAN DRINKS.
While the Thirsty Horde of Men Look
on with Envy

on with Envy.
From the Neio York Tribune.
The hottest day this summer two young ladies
approached the ice water tank in the waiting
room of the Staten Island ferry. They wanted
a drink of the water. Near by stood man,
who also wanted drink of the water. He'd
been out with the boys the night before, and he
wanted a drink of 1t pretty badly.
You drink first, Flo. said one OF them.
"Oh, no; you, Bess.
"Neveri Go on, Flo"
IT won't do it. Drink yourself. Bess."
There were now two men waiting.
81 think you're mean-when you know want
you to-"
II don't care-you've got to drink first, be-
cause won't.
well, then, if must, suppose I must"
There were now four thirsty men in line,
waiting anxiouSly

Don't drink it too fast or it'll make you

mo won't ate three dishes of ice cream
with Charlie the other night fast as l could
swallow them, and it didn't make me sick"
There were eight men waiting to get drink
now.
Ills cold isn't it, Bess?"
''Cold as ice p"
Il s'pose there's ice in it,"
'Of course"
'rm going to drink real slow"
That's right-the boat won't be here for a
long time"
Sixteen menl

docs it?"
''Yes-makes 'em ache"
''It never does mine
1T always does mineral hard.N
That's funny
1T does though. Don't you want some
more?"
The census was taken at this point and thirty
two men found gazing longingly at the ice wa
ter tank.
My, guess did want some more"
Course you dld--drink a whole lot"
Don't you want some more?h
"YeS-after you get through"
I've got enough-couldnt drink another
drop"
'Oh, yes, you can"
"No, / can't"
SiXty-fou men reported. Those who had
first fallen into line were now speechless with
thirst.
I'm just kill myself drinking SO much-I
know shall"
''Oh, no you won't"
But the horrid stuff is so awfully cold"
That don't make any difference"
The crowd of thirsty men was now too long
to count but a careful estimate placed the
number at 1873.
LET me have just little more"
why, you'll kill yourself-I never saw any
body drink ice water SO i'll my life"
'Oh. pshaw, l haven't drunk much. You'll
want some more yourself before you 60"
Don't know but l will-just push down on
that thing again. WON'T your
"Oh, here's our boat-hurry up or well get
left !" and then the dear creatures left the tin
cup swinging at the end OF the chain and rushed
for the gate.
Then that crowd of men fought with one
another, and surged around that water cooler,
and those who we're not too far gone with thirst
made remarks short but deep; and perhaps a
quarter of them managed to get drink before
the boat started.

A Bar Harbor Sensation.

Bar Harbor, the fashionable New Eng
land summer resort, has been furnished
something sensational to talk about by the
publication of the statement of j. f. Potter,
an employee of the railroad between that
place and Boston. The statement concerns
J. II. Reed, of Albany, N. Y, and Miss
Annie Miliiken, of New Orleans. About
two weeks ago Mr.. Reed and Miss Milliken.
who were guests of the st. Lawrence hotel.
and who were among the best-known of the
summer population of the place, went out
on the bay in canoe They
did not return, and search was
made for them. The canoe was
found overturned and when it was righted
a coat was discovered in it, which was rec
ognized as having belonged to Mr.. Reed. A
large reward was offered for the bodies of
the young people. They belonged to wealthy
families in their respective cities. Miss
Millil1en was one of the most prominent of
the society ladies of New Orleans, and Mr..
Reed was among the best known young
men of Albany. Nobody doubted that they
had been run down by a steamer, or that
their canoe had been overturned accident
ally, and that both had been drowned.
The story that Potter tells is that Mr..
Reid is alive, and that he has seen him since
the accident. He does not pretend to know
anything about Miss Milliken. BY some it
is thought that Potter is crazy, and by
others that his story is true, and that the
young couple elopod, having overturned the
canoe, and turned it adrift, with the pur-
pose of creating the impression that they
had boon drowned.
1t hardly seems probable that they would
do such a cruel thing. Miss Milliken's
father has deeply mourned the loss of his
daughter, and Mr.. Reeds family has not
recovered from the shock produced by the
announcement of the fatal accident. If the
suspicion of an elopement is true, Mr.. Reed
and Miss Milliken must be thoughtless and
heartless AS far as the public knows there
was no opposition to their union, if they de-
sired to marry, and, therefore, no reason
for their elopement. If the elopement
theory proves to be correct, they deserve to
be disowned by their parents. The chances
are, however, that they were drowned, and
that Potter's statement has no foundation
whatever.

Some People Who Need Lesson.

Persons who originate or circulate rumors
of the existence of yellow fever, where
none is known to exist, ought to be severely
punished. They keep the public mind un-
easy without any reason, and cause sick and
nervous people a great deal of suffering.
There is not a town, probably, within 200
or 300 miles of Jacksonville, which has not
been disturbed by these rumors within the
last three or four weeks. A case of malarial
or bilious fever is at once magnified into
yellow fever, and an alarming report about
it set afoat
Some of those who start or circulate these
rumors have no intention of doing any
harm. They are simply nervous people
who are not gifted with great deal of
common sense, and who do not realize the
harm they do by their indiscreet talk.
| There are others, however, who take keen
| delight in predicting evil, and who appear
to be longing for an opportunity to spread
evil news They not only originate rumors,
but they repeat those they hear in a magni-
fed form. Such people ought to be
drummed ont of any community in which
they are found. Public opinion would sus-
until the time in which they could do harm
had passed.
The MORNING NEWS has published a
good many dispatches from places in
Florida and this state denying the rumors
of existence of the fever in them. If the
authorities want to do their towns a real
service they will hunt up those who start
the rumors and punish them as they de-
serve.
In some of the New York papers ex-
tracts from private letters from persons in
this locality, making the most gloomy pre-
dictions, are published. The writers of
these letters know no more of what they are
writing about than the numerous individ
uals who have sure cures for yellow fever
know of that disease. They haven't single
satisfactory reason for thinking that the
fever will spread beyond Jacksonville, and
yet they try to make their friends in New
York and elsewhere believe that it will.
OF course the fever may not be confined
to Jacksonville but the fact that no one of
the places close to that city has yet been in
fected, although nearly all of them have a
greater or less number of Jacksonville
refugees in them, is pretty strong reason
for thinking that the fever will not get be-
yond that place. All the southern towns
have been put in good sanitary condition,
and if a case of the fever should occur in
any one of them, the chances are that the fe-
yer would not spread. Nobody, of course, can
say with absolute certainty that the fever
will be confined to Jacksonville, but the
that it will is very strong.

Mans Belief in Charms.
From the Chicaao JotlrnaI.

Out on the pier one evening recently OBJ
served a considerable number of men and boys
strip for swim, and was not a little astonished
to note the many badges of superstition worn
next the skin. Besides the religious crosses
and sanctifed sachets worn by the Catholic
boys and men around the neck AMI never re-
moved, in the belief that they insure health and
safety. saw charms aud fetlshes against
disease, accident, rheumatism and drowning on
many others, they being in most instances bands
of eel skim snake skin and other materials I'M
known to me, worn around the leg, both above
the elbow and around the body. The impress
sion made was that very many persons of the
grade of the wharf swimmers are deeply super
stitious beneath their rugged exteriors and
strangely given to the mystic rites and weird
faith which underlies the DOMINIC OF such
emblems as those which decorated fully three
quarters of the swimmers whom l saw disrobe.
