THE OLD 0AkEN BUCkET.

With anguish of mind remember my childhood, Recalled in the light of knowledge since gained; The ma!ariou5 farm, the wet, fungus. grown wildwood, The chills then contracted which since have remained; The scum-Covercd duck pond, the pig. 7ty close hy it, The ditch where the sour smelling house drainage feli; The damp, shaded dwelling, the foul barnyard nigh it, But worse than all else was that ter rible we'll And the old oaken bucket, the mold crusted bucket, The mos5-covered bucket that hung in the well. Just think of if Moss on the vessel that lifted The water drank in the days called to mind Ere knew what professors and scien- tsts gifted In che water of wells by analysis find; The rotting wood fibre, the oxide of iron, The alga, the frog of unusual size, The water impure as the verses of By ron, Are the things remember with tears in my eyes. To tell the sad truth though I shudder to think it, thought that well water uncommonly And often at noon when l went there to drink it, l liked it as much as now enjoy beer. How ardent I seized it, with hands that were grimy, And quick to the undiscovered bot tom it fell; Then, reeking with nitrates and nitrites, and sllmy With matter organic it rose from the well. Oh had but realized, in time to avoid them, The dangers that mrked in that pesti- lent draught, I'd tested for organic germs and de- stroyed them With potassic permanganate ere had quatfed; Or, perchance I'd have boiled it and af- terward strained it Through filters of gravel and charcoal cOmbined Or, after di8tilling, condensed and re- gained it In potable form, with it's filth left be- hind.

The management of the business must
commence in the local club 1t will have
it's regular officers and business manager,
and its meetings as often as it sees fit
The secretary will collect and tabulate
from themembers orcommittees appoint
ed for the prupose estimates of the num-
Der of orange tress, their age and condi-
ton, owned byresidents or non-residents,
amount of growing crop, and report the
same to the secretary of the State associ-
alton. This will place in the State secre-
tary's Office reliable data for making cal
culations for handling hecrop, and of it's
failure or increase from year to year.
A standard rule for packing should be
made by the State authority, so as to
make it uniform and in the best manner.
/. Each local club could combine their ship
ments and make upcar loads subject to
the order of the State manager. Now the
State manager should proceed in one of
twoways he could procure the necessary
informationast to what amount of oranges
each city or station would consume daily,
and order by telegraph that amount sent
to that place direct from thesub stations,
directing each party where to send, so
there need be no confusion. Previously,
he could arrangefor a selling agent there,

lished private houses to deliver to each
SO many oranges daily, and take security
against such deliveries. And where it
would justify he could provide delivery
agent to receive from the transportation
companies, and provideproof if necessary
as to the condition in which they were
delivered These arrangements could be
spread out until the entire amount,was
provided for. .rt<.
Or he could do another way which
think would be better, he could provide
a selling mart, or orange bazaf, or what
ever you may want to call it, upon each
of the transportation lines leading out of
Florida, and connect them by telegraph,
and order the fruit as before, consigned
to these points, and there sell it all. Pre-
viously, however he should from the rec
ords in the secretary's office, as to the
amount of thecrop, divide the shipments
each day SO as to equalize the daily sup
ply throughout the shipping season.
+ If there was surplus on hand he could
limit the daily supply offered toswhat. he.
found the market would take at a paying
price to the producer. 1t would be better
to hold back all surplus, make wine OF it
at, home, or let it take its chances in a
late market, than to break the market
by throwing it.in. By this latter plan all
the oranges could be sold before they
leave Florida.
For, with this order established so that
it could he relied upon, Northern dealers
would attend these markets and buy the
whole supply each day, and pay the
money for it. They could make better
distribution of the supply than we could,
and manage the sales better.
We think there is benefit enough shown
in this thing, to ideany orange grover,
whether resident or nonresident, to go
into it, and do all he can to organize it,
and then support il in good faith. u,

For THE FLORIDA AGRIGULTURIsT.
Meeting of the Florida Horticultural
Society.
The Florida Horticultural Society will
hold it's annual meeting at Orlando, com
meneing on May LIST, proximo. The ex-
ecutive committee have been officially
advised that the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company, the South Florida
Railroad Company and the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West system will make
a rate of one fare for the round trip on
account of this meeting. Special hotel
rates have been arranged for by the Or
lando Farmers and Fruit Growers Asso-
citation, which will act a host on this oc-
casion .
The recent special session at Ocala, held
to receive the American POmologists, was
largely givenup to essays and discussions
which even when upon the subject of
Florida products, were designed more
especially to interest our visitors, and
through them,5 the outside public. The
sessions at Orlando will be of more in
formal and colloquial character, devoted.
to the consideration of practical topics
and questions OF immediate interest to
our fruit growers and gardeners.
A large number Of prominentfruitgrow-
ers and practical cultiYators have signi-
fed their purpose of being present and
full attendance and profitable and en-
tbusiastic session is anticipated
Since it's comparatively recent organi-
zation the State Society has gained rap
idly in membership and done effectual
work in the advancement of horticulture.
1t merits the support OF every person in
terested in tilling the soil. A general in
vitation is extended to attend the meet
ing at Orlando. No one engaged in till
ing the soil can afford to ignore or fail to
profit by the progress that is being made
by others engaged in the samework.

LITTLE HOPE WITH THEM.
Heart-Melting Sights Witnessed on the
First Train to the Scene.

SANG HOLLOW, Pa, June AT $50 the
first train passed New Florence. It was
crowded with the people from Pittsburg
and other places en- route, people who
were going to the scene of disaster with
little hopes Of finding their loved ones
alive. Rich and poor were on board that
train, all thinking of but one thing and
that was: I'm what will we SEEK 1t
was heart rendering sight and not dry
eye was in the train. Mothers mOaned
for their children, husbands promenaded
the aisle and wrung their hands in agony.
Fathers pressed their faces against the
windows in an endeavor to see something,
they knew not what, that would tell them
in measure Of the dreadful truth that
their loved ones had met with. All along
the COnemaugh the train stopped and bod
les were taken on, the express car being
carried by the villagers who were
out along the banks. The horror
and infinite pity Of it all
What journey has been that
of the last half hour! Swollen; awful
corpses lay here and there in piles of cross
ties or on the river banks among the
tangled green. 1t was about 8 o'clock
when the first passenger train since Friday
came to the new Florence depot with its
load of eager passengers. They were no
idle travellers, but each had q mission.
Here and there men were staring out the
windows with red eyes. Among them
were tough looking Hungarians and
Italians who had lost friends near
Nineveh, while many are weeping on all
sides. Two of the passengers
on the train were man and
wife from Youngstown. He was
quiet, dignified and more or less self
possessed; she was weeping, anxious and
tried hard to control her feelings. From
every new conner she sought news. In q
few moments all those in the car knew
the story, the pain, and many glanced at
them. Their house was one Of the first

ecial Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.

ANTHONY, Kan, June l. - The COM
mencement exercises at the school build
ing last evening were grand success in
every particular, the room being filled to
overlooking by an intelligent and appreci-
ative audience. The magnificent floral
display would make one think that these
grand prairies were one vast bed of flow
ers. In that department Chicago, Kansas
City and Wichita were represented, as
contributed somewhat to this lovely
feature of the evening. The music
as rendered by the orchestra was
very pleasing while the vocal
solos by Miss Bell Trask and Miss Alma
Amey were marked features of the occas-
sion, Miss Tratk being encored added
fresh laurels to her heretofore acknowledge
ed talent. The essays and orations as de-
livered by Miss Minnie Hoops, Lizzie Bent,
Meary Davis, Lawrence Healdredge, Will
liam Orln, Forbes and Ned Croker show
ed that each one were masters of their
we'll chosen themes The development of
the talent shown by these students reflects
great credit upon the instructors in charge.

GREAT LOSS AT HARRISBURG.

HARRISBURG, June 1.-The great rain
storm has entailed great loss here. In
the east and south ends Of the city the
water rose above the banks of the Paxton
creek, swept away bridges and reached
the first stories of the houses. Last night
hundreds of families were in distress and
forced to leave their houses. Mayor
Fritchie conducted the relief expedition,
which utilized all the boats to be had and
while the rain came down in torrents he
and his assistants did good work. While
thus engaged the mayor and one of his Of
fcers narrowly escaped drowning.
The Susquehanna river at this point is
eighteen feet above low water mark and
rising every hour. Independence island is
completely covered.
The tracks Of the Pennsylvania railroad
south of here are covered by about two
feet Of water. Trains from the east are
stopped and at this writing the proba
bility is that it will be several hours be-
fore traffic to the west will be resumed.
A party of newspaper men representing
New York and Philadelphia journals came
here early this morning with the expecta-
ton Of reaching Johnstown and finding
travel to the west at standstill from this
point some of them went down the Cum
berlapd valley with the intention Of board
ing Baltimore & Ohio train and going to
the west by circuitous route,
