Monday afternoon about $40 O'Clock
Undertaken Harvey's gloomy wagon
drove hurriedly up to the entrancerof
well known photograph gallery and two
men carried black coffin into the build

room. It was met there by the pho
tographer and number Of newspaper
men, and shortly afterward a woman,
youthful and beautiful, clad in cash
mere and lace, with flowers at her feet
and her white hands folded peacefully
ACROSS her breast, lay IN the soTnber box,
with her long brown hair streaming
over the crumpaed satin lining. as pale
as her cream tinted skim
The men stood about the coffin whis-

flower here, leaf there, and tucked in
q careless wandering curl, while the
photographer moved hand out of its
stiffness or TUNED the face where the
light would fan upon it to = better effect
before the lens Of the camera. It was
an uncanny scene, and If the sunshine
had not taken the chill of of the place
it would have been as ghostly and
CHASTITY as . charnel house.
When all was ready the photographed

when she was dead in earnest, and not

The Value of our Phosphate Beds.

AS soon as the speculative feature of
our phosphate fnds" runsits course and
disappears, and the facts, Invested of ex-
aggeration and feverish excitement are
obtainable, we will be in a position to es-
innate, in a measure, the value to our
State of the apparently inexhaustible de-
posits of phosphate that are reported to
have been discovered in nearly every por-
tion of the peninsula. Not that we, in
the least, doubt the truth of the state
ments made or the value of the deposits
discovered, but tits impossible at present
to separate facts from fiction, to tell
which statements are reliable and which
are circulated for purely speculative pur-
poses.
If one half that has been said of our
phosphate discoveries is true, there can
be no doubt as to the future wealth and
development of the State. Throughout
the Southern and Southern Central Sec
ton of the State, notably in what is
known as the orange region. the soil,
though it responds readily to kind treat
ment, when that treatment includes a
liberal application of fertilizer, is poor.
This is well known fact, and those

Work for February.

If the drouth of the past three months
continues throughout February of course
but little work can be done in the grove
or garden, but it is probable that this
will not be the case and good rains can
soon be expected. 1t is possible that
many grove owners did not as usual fer
tilize their groves during January on ac-
count of the drouth. In that case the fer
tilizer should be applied this month. We
would not recommend that the whole
years supply be given at one time, but
that a portion OF it be put on now and
more later in the year, say during June
or July. An orange tree, like every other
plant, can consume only certain amount
of manure. If more is given it than it
can use, it is of course wasted. For that
reason we advise two applications during
the year instead of one.
When the ground gets in good condition,
that is, when there has been sufficient
rain to thoroughly moisten it, the work
of planting the spring garden should be
commenced. Almost everything can be
planted during this month without a
great deal of danger from frost, although
we sometimes have damaging frosts dur
ing the month, but they are rare.
Beans, peas, cucumbers, radishes, let
tuce, egg plants, tomatoes, beets, melons,
potat oes, etc., should not be forgotten
Those who intend to raise melons for
market should get their seed in the
ground during the month, as the sooner
they are planted the sooner they can be
shipped, and it is only the early melons
that are profitable. Before planting have
your ground well prepared and the ''hills'
fertilized.
1t is not too late to give your aspara-
gus bed another light dressing of good,
we'll rotted stable manure. Don't spread
it on too thick at this time, as it srather
late in the season.
The strawberry bed will need consider
able attention as soon as the rains set in,
and they must be kept free from grass
and weeds.
February is favorite month for tree
planting, but unless we have copious and
frequent rains the trees must be watered
or the chances are against their living.

who make statements to the contrary
are ignorant of the true facts or are actu-
ated by selfish motives.
Although this land is poor, it is pecul-
iarly adapted to the cultivation of fruits
that cannot be successfully grown else
where, and the climate is such that the
production of those special crops is
made possible here and no where else. All
that is requisite to produce an abundant
harvest is artificial fertilizers judiciously
and literally applied. The lack of this
artificial element, or rather it's cost, has,
to great extent, retarded the develop
ment of this section of the State. We, of
course, speak comparatively, for the de-
velopment has been phenomenal even un-
der the disadvantages we have labored.
What it would have been and will be with
this .mpediment removed, is matter of
conjecture, but, if the phosphate beds
come up to representation, it will be a
question soon decided.
At present the greatest expense in con-
nection with making an orange grove is
the cost of fertilizers. This expense will,
of course, be greatly reduced by the dis
covery of these phosphate beds, and they
appear so numerous and the quality so
extensive that there is no fear of them
getting into the hands of trusts and mo-
nopolists, who will keep the prices up to
the standard of our old friend (?) the COM
mercial fertilizers.
Not only do these finds of fertilizing
material portend prosperity and develop
ment to the orange business, but likewise
open the door of profit and success to
every tiller of the soil in every section of
the State. The vegetable business which
has been hampered and retarded in it's
growth by the natural poverty of the
soil in many sections, will be given new
life, if the price of the elements essential
to plant growth is reduced. The gardener
can then use the money which he annual

irrigating plants, and when this is done
when ne has water at his command and
fertilizer at mere nOmical cost-no in
dustry will pay larger profits in proper
ton to the amount of capital invested
and labor expended, than the vegetable
business of South Florida.
The farmers in Middle and West Flori-
da where lands, although more fertile
than the lands of South Florida, have be-
come impoverished by constant cultiva-
ton, will reap their share of benefits. In
fact if the phosphate finds are realities
(and we believe they are) the future of
Florida is brighter than the picture of it
painted by the widest enthusiast or the
most depraved land Speculation.

1t should never exceed eight ouncee, By
virtue of an indult of the Holy See the
following special dispensations are

William Craig and Joseph Lynch Imbibe
Too Freely Quarrel and now the Latter
Has Ball in His Body.
Railroad street in Johnstown borough.
near the Conemaugh borough line, was
the scene of shooting on Saturday night
between ten and eleven O'clock. Two
men, more or less under the Influence of
liquor most of the time, were going up
the street together quarreling. For some
provocation the smaller of the two-Wil-
liam Craig, said to hail from Baltimore
snapped his revolver at the other, who IS
large man named Joseph Lynch, said to
be from Philadelphia. The revolver did
not go off at the first trial, and Lynch
grappled with Craig to prevent a further
effort ON his part to shoot Being the
larger of the two and having hold of
Craig from behind Lynch prevented any
further attempt at shooting for a few mo-
ments, when Craig asked to be let loose.
Lynch wanted to be assured that there
would be no shooting. To this Craig
agreed, but as soon as he was released he
wheeled around and fired a shot into
Lynch, the ball taking effect near his hip
bone and penetrating some distance,
where it lodged. Craig then went on up
to Conemaugh borough, where he met
Officer Mintzer to whom he gave himself
up, handing over his revolver--a 30, cali
hrp--oD1 parfri1raa 10 to1I a.,
officer that he had shot some one and that
he surrendered himself. The officer at
first thought it was joke, but upon be-
ing assured of the truth o: his statement
he took Craig to the lookup. Officers
Mintzer and Brindle then returned to look
for the man who had been shot, whom
after some searching they found in Sager-
sons saloon. Later he was taken to the
Seventh Ward Hospital, where Or. w. B.
Lowman probed for the ball without be-
ing successful in fnding it. To-day
Lynch was turned over to the authorities
of the poor and DR.. G. E. Conrad treated
him.
Not long after the shooting occurred
Constable Martin, of the Third ward arri
we'd upon the scene as did also Constable
Waters, of the Seventh ward. The former
soon procured a warrant and then went
up to notify the Conemaugh borough
authorities to hold Craig till the Johns
town authorities take things in hand,
but Policeman Jack Jones had proceeded
Martin and persuaded the authorities at
the lookup to let him have Craig, as the
offense was committed in Johnstown Dor
ough. This somewhat mixed matters up,
but Mr.. Waters proceeded to the Johns
town lookup, where Craig had been taken
and served the warrant on him, Craig
was left in the lock up, and will have
hearing this morning.
Craig and Lynch are both brc,l.layers,
the former being regarded as somewhat
simple at times. He is known to be a
strong drinker. Nci,hcr one IS near as
can he learned is II very steady character.
Both had been drinking before the shoot.
ing took place
