| parties making pleasant pictures at sun
set, family phaetons with fair drivers, or
stylish dog-carts whirling through the
streets in any direction, pass out from
the city to country roads lined with con-
tinuous groves on either side. Beyond
stretch away theforest aisles, like limit
less lawn, receding in the distance from
whatever street or avenue the beholder
has emerged from the city.
The society of this city is as unique and
| phenomenal as it's growth. 1t possesses
every possible element that a cultured or
none of the uniformed element of new COM
munities generally, but wealth, taste and
refinement have commingled from the
first, and the classes which such elements
would naturally attract have been drawn
as into an eddy, until this town and it's
vicinity have become centre of culture
and intelligence Thechurches of this city
are eight in number. There are also ex-
ceptionally fine public school buildings
and kindergarten.
But the glory of DeLand is the provision
it's wise founder has made for the educa-
ton, not only of it's little people, but for
the completion of that of it's youth and
young women. This is admirably done
in the
DEL LAND UNIVERSITY.
In this institution, the curriculum is so
broad and comprehensive, it's appoint
ments are so complete, it's location is so
picturesque, it's buildings are 50 capacious,
it's apparatus and furnishings are so SUI
perior, it's faculty so experienced and cul-
tured, that it is not excelled by any SINH
lar institution in this or any other State.
1t was founded and builtby Mr.. DeLand
on the assumption that there was de-
mand for such an institution for the rap
idly increasing students of the city, and
for the large number of young people who
from delicate health on their own part or
on that of their friends are compelled to
spend the winter in this climate This
view has been amply verified by the re-
suits. The immense patronage which it
has received from it's first opening is some
thing unparalleled, and the influx has
been from eleven different States in distant
parts of the Union, and many counties of
Florida. The curriculum includes aclass-
ical, a scientific, a normal, and business
| course, in each of which are most compe
tent and efficient instructors, many of
them of wide reputation. There is also
an art department, in which full courses
are given in oil and water-color painting,
mechanical and industrial drawing, cray
Oning, and allrecent decorative art work
1t has already proved an undoubted sue
cess. The music department is complete,
and isconducted by accomplished instinct
Ors, both vocal and instrumental tuition
being distinctive features of the institu-
ton. In short, as the university is open
to both sexes, it combines all that is de-
sirable for BOTH
The demand for accommodations be-
came so decided atdOrmitOry buildings
became recognized necessity. This de-
mand was supplied through the generos-
| ity of Mr.. John B. Stetson, of Philadel-
phia, who seeing the success of Mr.. De-
Land investments here, became his able

Rover DIDN'T Understand english.

tall, well-built young man lounged into the
Colonnade barber shop day or two ago, says
the Philadelphia Press, closely followed by a
sleek, intelligent Italian greyhound. The maa
took his place 10 a chair and the dog quietly re-
clined on the floor near by. The barber stopped
to pat the graceful creature. and jocularly said:
TN tap av tn mahrnin' to yez, Rover
The dog cooked his ears and looked inquir:ngly
at his master. The latter observed:
lie doggie do not speak Angles. He's a
Partisan" Then he looked at his pet and con-
tinued: Bon jour, Baptist
The greyhound enthusiastically whacked his
tail upon the floor and replied to his master S
salutation by gurgle of satisfaction.
Can he do any thricks?" asked the barber,
pausing in his work.
Certainly, replied the young Frenchman, in
broken English. Tell him to roll over"
The barber did so, but the dog merely remained
quiet, and worried anxious, expression spread
over his face. Then his master repeated the
command in French, and the graceful pet, with
a short bark Of pleasure, at once rolled over and
over.
The barber told him to sit up, to charge, to
shake hands, etc, but the doggie could not IN
derstand until his owner repeated the sugges-
tions in his native tongue.
AS both left the shop the barber shook his head
doubtrully. "NextT he called out, and then
added in an undertope: Its mssif as must go

The TWittv Eli.

| The Twitty bill, which passed the House
! the other day, and is now pending in the
Senate, doesn't meet the approval Of those
who lend money. And it is doubtful if it
will fully meet the approval OF those who
borrow money when they fully understand
the effect Of it. The purpose Of the bill is to
declare void that provision of notes and otner
contracts which requires debtors to pay,
in addition to the principal and interest, 10
per cent. Of the principal as attorneys fees,
when the notes or other contracts are col
lected by attorneys.
No doubt this 10 per cent. provision is
rather hard upon deliquent borrowers.
1t doesn't affect those who pay their obi
cations when due There is no obligation
upon anybody, however, to borrow money
upon contracts having that provision if he
doesa't want to. Bat perhaps borrowers
couldn't get money if they didn't agree to
pay the cost of collecting it if there should he
expense attached to its collection. In that
case the passage of the Twitty bill would Psa-
vent them from getting money when tksy
need it even when their financial condi-
ton is good.
1uos6 WIN nave lnOueJ W lOdu uOH l care
TO loan it if there is a probability that it
will cost them more to get it back than the
interest on it will amount to. What they
want is their principal aud their interest,
aud both they are entitled to. No court
ought to allow them any more, even though
the contracts they hold call for more.
No doubt the farmers have been imposed
upon I'm many instances by the 10 per cent.
provision. but they must look out for their
own interests. Laws to protect them in
such instances do them no good, On the
contrary. they injure them, and the Twitty
bill would, it is pretty safe to say, keep them
from getting money as readily, and on as
good terms, as they get it now.
OF course the Twitty bill would not affect
contracts already made. 1t will apply, if
it becomes a law, only to those to be made.
Before the Senete acts upon it there should
be careful inquiry as to whether it is just
what borrowers want. 1t is probable that
it will not accomplish the object aimed at.
1t might be so modified TO prevent money
sharks from taking advantage of the
necessities OF borrowers. In its present
shape it would interfere with legitimate
transactions. As rule, little good is ac-
complished by legislative interference with
purely business matters.

officers in Germany with American and English
wives is very large, and the fad appears
to be increasing. In Dresden, par

great demand; the native madchen (be she ever

features argue anjabiiity, fidelity and gentle

And acted as I've heard il said
All lovers dol Just overhead
There sang q lark

All living nature teemed with love-
The field mice, beetles, turtle dove

Sighed as he thought how sweethearts true

And wished that he with soft caress,
Could soothe the lady's dire distress.

Parnell's Mistake.

Mr. Parnell seems determined 70 remain at
the head OF the nationalists, and vet there
are no good reasons for doubling that it
would be unwise for him TO do so. 1t is not
clear why be wishes to retain the leader
ship, unless he believes that he is the only
man capable of leading his party. He GER
tainly cannot complain OF the feeling of hos
tility that has grown up sgainsu him. He
alone is responsible for it. His neral con-
duct has been such that it would be impos-
sible for the great liberal party of England
TO have an alliance with a party which
recognized him as its leader.
The liberals hope for victory at thu next
election. If this hope should be realized,
Ireland would get something like fair treat
ment. The liberals cannot be victorious if
they condone Parnelrs offense. What folly
it would be, then. for them to acquiesce in
Parnell's retention as the leader of his
party
For the good of Ireland's cause Parnell
should step aside. ard let some Irishman
who is not Objectionable take his place.
There are other Irishmen capable of lead
ing. 1t is very presumptuoIs l. Parnell 70
think there isn't. His followers in parha-
ment would like him to retire. but, in view
of his past services-and those services have
been great-they do not like to insist upon
his doing so. He ought not to put them in
the position of demanding his resignation.
He ought TO consider Ireland before him
self.
He cannot help seeing that if he persists
in retaining his position home rule will be
delayed many years. Is he willing that it
should be delayed rather than give up his
position of powerl If so he is not as true
a friend of Ireland as the world has been
led to believe.
1t may be that he sincerely believes that
he can do more for Ireland by holding on
to his position than by resigning it. 1t is
difficult to see how he can have such a be-
lief. But, if he has, would 1t not be wiser
for him to abandon it, and follow the ad-
vice of the many able men who thiak the
greatest service he could do Ireland at this
time would be to go into retirement9
