Eleven years ago this winter, Rev. w.
w. Messer, on the Alfalfa, planted a lot of
orange seed, and two years later he set
out 24O of them in a grove. This year
he has sold his crop of oranges for ST.
200. Last year he received about $500
for his crop. There is about four acres
in the grove, and each succeeding year
with fair prices he can confidently expect
an increase of income as the trees grow
older. Three thousand dollars an acre
would not buy that grove. 1t is more
valuable than town lotsin Tampa. What
Mr.. Messer has done others can do with
proper care and attention. No other
State in the Union can assure such re-
turns as Florida, if intelligent labor is
applied to the gIound.-Tampa Tribune.

Boston Quintetre Club.


Chicago Tribune: The music loving PEG

Club the largest house that ever greeted a
concert troupe in Chicago. 1t attested the
high appreciation in which the famous
quiRtette Is held. The verdict was render
ed at once, and without rising from their

the Boston Quintette is the finest travelling
company of musicians i'm the world. The
prlma donna, Miss Anne Carpenter, was
new to Chicago, although well known
singer, but sho at once established herself
favorite. The flute is as beautiful and ar
tistic as can DO in the hands of Herr Oscar
Hentschel; the violin playing of Mr.. John
Rhodes is arevalation; the violoncello speaks
like the cultured voice in the hands of artist

A FAMOUS CoNGREssMAN's OPINION.


have not carefully considered the pol
icy of amending the federal constitution SC
as to confer on congress the general power
to legislate on the subject of m irriage and
divorce, although during the last few years
the subject has to some extent arrested the
attention of the members of congress.
1t seems to me hardly desirable to con-
fer this power on the federal government
unless imperatively demanded by the In
terests Of the whole people. Marriage is
the foundation Of our domestic relations.
a ID 1t would seem that marriage and all
that relates to it ought to be Considered as
a matter that belongs exclusively to the
field of state legislation.
The course of legislation in the several
states on the subject of divorce, of late
wears, seems TO b. Id out fair prospect OF
the existing evil being removed at no dis
tant day. There has been marked ten
dency on the part of the states to come to-
gether in their legislation on divorce.
There is not now any such divergency Of
legislation on the subject as there was
twenty years ago, and there Is reason to
believe that in few years the conflict Of
legislation on the subject in the several
states will largely disappear.
The statistics which the general govern
ment has Of late been accumulating on the
subject Of marriage and divorce will ma
terIalIy aid the states in adopting uniform
laws on the subject.
My present impression is that until II be-
comes apparent that the states themselves,
acting each for Itself, canuot bring about
a harmonious system, congress should not
be invested with power to lie yislate on the
subject except in the territories and the
District Of Columbia, as now. think that
unless there is imperative necessity for it
the powers conferred in the federal govern
meut ought not to be enlarged, nor the
jurisdiction Of the federal courts exten-

DIR. HOWARD CROSBY's POSITIVE VIEWS
To my mind the permanence of social
order depends very largely on the perna-
ne1ce of the marriage relation. Easy dl-
vorce breaks up families, the heathful unit
of society, and entails amin sites, ltiga-
tions and distress upon toe next generation.
1t also leads inevitably to low standard
of morality. If we follow our Saviour's in-
junction no divorce would be permitted
except for adultery, and every right minded
man even if he d Jes not axe our Lord as
his guide. should see that this restriction is
necessary to society's welfare. Cases of
danger to life from either party, or of con-
firmed drunkenness, or infidelty, could be
met by legal separation, but without the
right to marry agail. think our immoral
stage has great deal to do with he preva-
lence of easy divorce by constantly making
light of the MARI age tie Our laws should
be framed in accordance with the principles
above stated. Yours, very truly,

The Dog Was Equal to tne occasion.
From the Orlando Record.

During the revival at the Methodist
church last night quite solemnly comic
incident occurred There is cel tain dog
in town who has been taught by his owner
to kneel in the attitude of prayer whom
commanded by a snap of the owners fin
gr. Last night the dog followed lad :
and gentleman into tee church, and in
sisted upon making himself at home around
the altai'. to the annoyance OF. those con-
Quoting the meeting One of the congrega-
ton, nouicing the presence of the well
come cani g, rose from his seat and pro-
ceeded to conduct his dogship to the street.
He was making slow progress in his efforts,
and when about midway down the center
aisle chirped and snapped his finger at the
animal, who deliberately turned round,
placei his paws upon the end of a pew, and
bowed his cad as if in earnest prayer.
