large lot of Jamaica sorrel which makes
Jelly that even exceeds the strawberry
in beauty and delicate flavor. An acre
in paragrass keeps his horse and Jersey
cow in the best of flesh. He has practic-
ally demonstrated the fact that to make
good living in Florida requires only a
few acres, and earnest, intelligent effort.
His own marvellous success is due to his
untiring energy and great executive
ability, and his great popularity is in
spired by an active human sympathy
with all classes, that tries to make every
living thing he comes in contact WITH
happy. To these is added hospitality
that is as broad as his far-reaching mind
and dispensed by himself and most amia-
BILE wife with a thoughtful kindness that
is as beautiful as their lives.
We hope that the Editor and his read

town and it's people who will be sure to
see they have a good time while there.

PROCESS.
In preparing the fruit it may or may
not be pared, it may or may not be cut
up. For most people it will be much I'M
proved by pairing, but the cutting up OF
the fruit is wholly on-essential unless too
large for the orifce of the can. The fruit
once in the can the syrup, made OF sugar,
is added and then the tin cap that comes
with the cans, is soldered on, which COM
pletely closes the can, except a very small
vent hole in the cap, it is then cooked
and the vent soldered up while hot, and
the work is done. W. P. GARDENER.

Herbaceous Grating.

Annuals, or herbaceous plants, belong
ing to the same genus or natural family,
will adhere and grow on each other as
readily as dc woody plants. Thus, a
caulifower will grow on a cabbage, to-
matO on a potato, or vice versa. The
garden cucumber will grow on the wild
vines of the same family which are some
times used for covering arbors Ard
these grow to an extraordinary length,
while the garden cucumber seldom ex-
ceeds six or eight feet. This knowledge
OF grating ANIMALS may be utilized and
made profitable, especially when the po-
tatO is forced to ripen seed by engraftihg
or marching on the tomato. Cucumbers
may be grown on a high trellis, or around
the upper story windows of any building
by training one of the wild cucumber
vines-either Sicyos angulatus, the single
seeded or star cucumber vine, or the Ech-
inocvstes, or wild balsam apple-either of
which grows fifty or sixty feet in a single
season up to the desired height. This is
easily done by sowing cucumber seed of
any OF the garden varieties in flower
pot, and when the plant is six or eight
inches high joining it to one of these wild
vines when it has reached the desired
height. Merely scraping the bark of each
and tying them firmly together with any
soft material is sufficient They will unite
in about ten or twelve days, or sooner,
and produce fruits at a height to which
the garden cucumber could never attain.

Tarpon Springs.

1aTpOu springs.
Tarpon Springs is the first OF the Coast
wise towns through which the 0. B. R. R.
runs on it's way to it's terminus on Tampa
Bay.
The passenger who travels through
this interesting section is impressed with
the attractive appearance of TarpOn
Springs as seen from the car windows.
One very distinctive feature being the
architectural beauty of it's houses. Near
er inspection reveals oak-shaded avenues,
handsome strawberries, and neat plank
walks along the thorougfares that lead
on down to the bayou where the fine
boat houses, built by Ex-Gov. Stafford
and Mr.. DisstOn loom up above that
beautiful sheet of water. 1t has been
surrounded by broad plank walk, and
enveloped with a neat fence, with flights
of steps leading to the street above at
intervals Fine residences overlook the
water, and add much to the attractive
ness of the scene. The Ewalk" is
great resort for both citizens and visitors
and it is often remarked: "There is no
other place like it in Florida" The
springs from which the town is named
are fixed up in appropriate style. They
are strongly impregnated with sulphur,
and the flow is as unfailing as the sea.
The houses of the citizens are stylish,
many of them quite costly. We were
shown one just finished, but as yet un-
occupied that is perfect poem in Florida

ed with it; but such is the infinite variety
of ornamentation that one could gaze all

the wonderful possibilities of our native
pines. During a protracted drive we visit
ed an oak crowned hill that has the under
growth cut out, and which will soon be
stretch of the Anclote river, and little
farther on one can see glimpses of the
Gulf of Mexico and the many waterways
that encircle the town. Through gaps in
the forest clothing distant landscapes
could be seen, the fourishing homes of
thrifty settlers, thus showing an out
ward growth that speaks we'll for the
surrounding country.
The colored citizens occupy the tene-
ments built, and rented to them by Mr.
Stafford. They have their own church,
and Masonic Lodge, and thrifty plots of
vegetables. He employees them at good
wages in the many works he keeps con-
stantly going on. One of these works is
canal that is being cut around an arti-
fetal island which has been denuded of
it's grasses &C., and will be planted in
something ornamental, and have arustic
bridge connecting it with the main land.

Canning Guavas.

In compliance with your request here
with submit the following on guava can
ming.
The question of successfully canning
the fruit is a matter very easily settled
A much more important one to he solved
is the disposal of the canned goods. While
the guava is fruit very much esteemed
in Florida, especially in the more south
ern parts, it is little known in latitudes
further north. And from it's peculiar odor
is repulsive to many people who havenot
acquired a taste for it, and this odor
more than any one thing else, prevents
it's ready sale in Northern cities And yet
there is another difficulty In the way of
selling canned guavai in the heNorth--though N
not equal to the "odor objection
that is the great abundance of choice
fruits that abound in that section, such
as the apple, peach, pear, ounce, plum,
cherry, grape and many kinds of berries,
all palatable and free from Objectionable
odors. The fact that people from the
North come to Florida annually in con-
stantly increasing numbers, and acquire
taste for the fruit, will, in the course of
time, somewhat modify the elastmentioned
objection.
COST OF MACHINERY.
A well equipped cannery, one that will
be efficient and convenient, will cost about
81, 500. Canning can be done at very
much less cost of machinery, but neces-
sarily on small scale and less satisfac-
torily. In cannery, properly fitted up,
the cooking is done by steam. In that
way, with paper tests, all the cans are
cooked like, and all kept at uniform
temperature till entirely closed. With
any other process, such as the use of open
watts for cooking, only a few cans, COM
paratively, can be cooked at time, and
| it is very difficult as we have experienced,
to have them uniform, either in the cook
| ing or the condition of temperature for
| final sealing.
The cost of cans is no incOnsiderabIe

CABLE ROAD INDEMNITY
In Case Of Suits for Damages-Suggested
Amendment Of the Permit.

Mention has been made from time TO time in
The STAR Of the recommendations Of Capt
Symons concerning the advisability Of getting
the Washington and Georgetown railroad COM
pany to furnish an indemnity bond in the SUN
Of 100000 to protect the District in case they
were sued for injury to persons caused by the
iron arches Of the company which are placed
along the sidewalk to be used in the construction
OF the cable road on 18th street. In the original
permit there was clause holding the company
liable for ali damages which might happen to
private property or personal injury TO persons
received on account of neglect or omission of
the company to properly protect their excavb-
tions during the day and nights. When Presl-
dent Hurt of the railroad company was called
upon to furnish the indemnity bond he pro-
tested, holding that the original permit which
had already been signed by the company pro-
tected the District. The Commissioners had
doubts on this score and determined to submit
the question TO Attorney Riddle for his opin-
ion as to the scope Of the original permit.
OPINION OF ATTORNEY RIDDLE.
In the attorneys opinion, which was SUBJ
mitted today, Mr.. Riddle says that he presumes
the company will be liable for all injuries occa-
stoned by want Of skill or care on its part, and
that it is his opinion that such q condition is
properly embodied in the original permit. He
suggests, however, the incorporation of the
following clause, which has been inserted;
ALSO for any and all injuries occasioned by
the placing Of any material upon the surface Of
said street or elsewhere, due 20 the want Of

as one who spoke right out like man when he
had anything to say. Continuing he said:
I'VE fought the hottest war ever fought on Gods

plished from that war than from any CBsarian or
Napoleonic war. We made peace on a continent

difference In Estimates Of the Late As
SCISSOR and His Successor Explained.

The fact that the estimate of revenues of the
District for the fiscal year to end June so. 1891,
prepared by Assessor Williams, is more than
s2oO, 900 less than the estimate for the fiscal
year to end June so, 1890, as prepared by As
SCISSOR Fish, has caused considerable comment
As the Commissioners base their estimate OF
appropriations upon the estimates Of receipts
so prepared by the assessor, THE STAR reporter
sought for the reasons for this apparent de-
crease in the District revenues and as
certained that 1t was due to the
fact that the figures Of Assessor Fish were
based upon the valuation Of real estate he esti-
mated would be fixed by the general assess
ment, while those of Assessor Williams are
based upon the actual general assessment as
since made.

He Will Get There,

There was an intoxicated man at the Police
Court this morning who seemed determined to
get into the court room. Doorkeeper Scott
put him out Of the building, but he renewed
his attempt and demanded his rights as a citi-
zen and that he be permitted to enter the
court room. He was again elected and became
SO boisterous that two policemen grabbed him
and hustled him down stairs, where he was
turned over to Officer Hardin, who has charge
OF the prisoners That officer had hardly opened
the cell door when the latest arrival made a
break at him and attempted to lido him up. /"
The officer received q stunning blow under the
eye, and then they clinched. The officer and
prisoner fought their way into the cell, and
then the prisoner was thrown to the floor
There they continued the fight among the
prisoners until Marshal McCaffrey and several
policemen arrived upon the scene. The pris-
oner being too drunk for trial was placed in
wagon and taken to the sixth precinct station.
where he was locked up. He refused to give
his name.
