THIS part of the country has
been inclined to regard itself as, in
large measure, safe from the
visitation of the cyclones that have
been so frequent and SO destructive
in recent years in the West. The
disaster that befell the city of Law
renee, in Massachusetts, Saturday
shows the fallacy of those fond
hopes. Cyclones of lesser power
have occasionally been known in
New England, but this one brought
with it destructiveness to life and
property that entities it to rank as
one of the grave disasters of the
year. The sympathy of the coun-
try will go out to the community
thus sadly afflicted.

Dir. Swift died soon afterward be left q
beautiful young widow.
1t was this lady that DR.. Harlan married
In June, 1889, at her parents home IN
Geneva. his congregation felt a little nurt
that he had chosen bride away from
them. More than one eligible youag woman
who had been interested in church work
suddenly lost some OF her amoition.
When the congregation read the descrip-
ton of their pastors wedding in the papers
great deal of indignation was expressed.
DR.. Harlan was married in Trinity Episco-
pal church, Geneva, by an Episcopal min
lister. One of the attendants at the we'd
ding was the Rev. Father Tom Brown. the
pastor of the Ritualistic Church Of st.
Mary the Virgin, in this city. There was
much alarm at the First Presbvterian
church on Fifth avenue, and not a few of
the elders were perturDed il spirit.
Mrs. Harlan is charming and cultivated
woman, who has sDelt great part of her
life abroad. she is very fond of society
The members Of the First Presby terian
church are very strict in their religious
views. Many of them have never been in-
side theater or ballroom. MANY of them
are wealthy, with liking for o New York
and old traditions. Mrs. Harlan was not
acquainted with Presbyterian church work,
and 1t is claimel by number OF the con-
gregation that she has never been inside of
her husbands church. She goes to Grace
church and has many fashionable friends in
that congregation. Dr. Harlans marriage
widened the gulf bet ween him and his peo-
pie. Robert Lenox Belllnap, descendant
of the Lenox family, and very wealthy
man, withdrew from the church where he
and his ancestors had worshiped for years
and Joined DIR. Alexander'S, on University
place. This summer a number of the vestry
discussed the question of consolidating the
two churches and making DR.. Alexander
pastor, with DR.. Harlan as assistant. To
this the latter objected, aud on Sunday he
decided to tender his resignation Next
Friday he will explain his reasons for his
action. Until that time he refuses to speak
During the late Presbyterian conference
DIR. Harlan held extreme reversionist ideas
concerning the doctrines of predestination
and infant baptism. and these gave ofPenss
to others of his flock. They all unite In say
ing that he is a hard-working, estimabie
young man, and one who will make his
mark. 1t is hoped by many that these little
difficulties may be settled by compromises
on both sides, and the church regain its
serenity.

mence to growra diversity ofcrops. This
method we are sure he will find profitable,
and he will, OF course, continueit. Other
new corners willin the course of time take
pattern from him, andso the ball will keep
on rolling and gather in volume as it
rolls.
On the other hand, when new conner
sees nothing but oranges, or cotton, or
in fact any one crop being cultivated, he
naturally concludes that is all that can
be grown and drops readily into the old
ruts which will inevitably lead him to
dissatisfaction, and perhaps financial
ruin. In the course of time he will 'pull
up stakes" and leave the State.
Let us show new corners what our State
can do by doing it ourselves, rather
than telling them about it, Or leaving it
for themselves to discover.

LOCATE NEAR RAILWAYS.

The transportation companies of Flor
ida have received their full measure of
abuse, and we do not hesitate to say
that in time passed they have deserved
nearly all they received.
But no one will for a moment question
the Importance of railroads as develop
ing agencies, and the necessity for more
of them, and better service will increase
in proportion to the increase of the pro-
ducts of the State.
On this subject we wish to give a word
Of warning to prospective settlers. DO
not locate any great distance from a
railroad donot plantyour orange grove
ten or twenty miles away from a highway
of transportation. with the hope and ex-
pectation that by the time your trees be-
gin to bear NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
will have constructed railway through
or near your grove, the risk is
too great. II the road is built,
OF course, every thing will be right, but if
it is not built every thing will be wrong.
Orange groves produce. a greater weight
OF fruit per acre than any other crop
grown, and q grove located any great
distance from line OF railroad will be
unable to compete with those nearer by,
for the reason that the hauling of oranges
over our heavy sandy road is a tedious
and expensive operation.
For this reason we adviseayou to pur-
chase land and make your orange grove
on or near some railroad, even though
you pay many times the price for it that
you would be compelled to pay for land
not so favorably located. The saving in
the hauling of fertilizer alone for ten
years will more than make up the differ
ence, not to speak OF the crop when the
trees commence to lear.

NUT TREES.

Nuts for planting, says the Pom ologist
OF the Department of Agriculture,
sshould Invariably be selected for superb
0rity of size, flavor, or thinness OF shell.
AS early as possible after their maturity
they should be placed in boxes of soil, the
conditions of moisture and depth which
are provided being closely patterned after
Those furnished by nature in the forests.
The chief object of the box is to prevent
mice and moles from disturbing the nuts
before the tap roothas begun its growth.
THE boxes OF imbedded nuts should be
sunk to the level of the surface in some
place protected from pigs, squirrels and
chickens. In the spring, when bursting
open with the growing germ, the nuts
may be transplanted to the nursery row
or to the spot in which the trees are de-
sired to stand A bulletin on nut culture
is soon to be issued by the Department.
Concise reports on matters kindred to
the subject will be acceptable to the Pc
mologist and will insure for the sender a
copy OF the bulletin when published.

ADVANTAGES OF FLORIDA

For many years, and to some extent
even vet, the idea is prevalent among
certain class of people, that to come to
Florida was to come to certain and
speedy wealth. OF course this is not the
the case, and on this subject the Daytona
Journal wisely remarks:
"a man coming to Florida must not
expect that he is coming to life OF ease
and idleness unless he has plenty OF capt.
tai. Here, as elsewhere, he must earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow, and
care and economy are as necessary here
AS any place else The idle and thriftless
will come to want, but the prudent and
Industrious, if he has a little capital,
may soon live in comfort and compare
tive plenty. The man without capital
can, in most places, secure some kind OF
employment at fair wages and have the
same opportunities, as North Or West, to
slowly acquire property. Florida is not
a land of milk and honey that may be
made without money and without price.
You must labor, save and economic to
succeed, but we believe your opportuni-
ties are as fair and even better than in
many places to which people are focking
by thousands and you will certainly be
much less liable to suffer in many ways,
as our climate is healthful and you will
be free from the piercing cold and storms
of less favored regions"

ADMINISTRATIVE BILL.

Some time ago the Florida Fruit Ex
change issued a circular in which was.
stated that the customs administrative
Dill, which went into effect August 1sty
would increase the duty ON oranges
about so per cent.
We have received many inquiries COIL
corning this law from orange growers
who desire definite information on the
subject, and for their benefit we publish
below the section of law bearing on the
subject:
"Sec %. That no allowance Tor DAM
age to goods, wares and merchandise i'm
ported into the United States shall here
after be made in the estimation and
liquidation of duties thereon, but the
importer thereof may, within ten days
after entry, abandon to the United
States, all or any portion OfgoOds, wares
and merchandise included in any invoice
and be relieved from the payment OF the
duties On the portion so abandoned.
Provided, that the portion so abandoned
shall amount to ten per cent. or over OF
the total value Or quantity of the in
voice, and the property so abandoned
shall be sold by public auction or other
wise disposed of for the account and
credit Of the United States, under such
regulations as the Secretary OF the
Treasury may prescribe"
We think that the Fruit Exchange has
made too high an estimate on the in
crease OF duty under this bill.
