Chief Weber, followed by several
hremen, went into the building and
with difficulty assembled to the upper
hoors. When they reached them
a sight that Mortified them met their
eyes. Under one Of the windows
was lying crouched human form
burned almost to a crisp, the two
palms clasPel together, ana kneel-
ing as though in prayer. Seeing
that escape from the flames below 10
the streets was impossible, because
the stairs were a roaring mass of
fire, the terrified victims had evil

Mn. Wilmerdine, Secretary
Tracy's married daughter, and her
daughter, Miss Alice, occupied the
second story front room on the
SAME floor with the Sccre-
tary and Mrs. Tracy. Both
she and her daughter jumped from
the windows to the grass terrace be-
low, and while the shock to both
was severe, neither received, so far
as is now apparent, any serious in

right wrist badly sprained. She is
lying hysterical and in a half-dazed
but is rapidly improving.

Kilrain went hack to Richburg. He
hunted and lived regularly, keep
ing well and strong without reduc-
ing himself TO starvation weight.
The date was later changed to to-
day.
The theatre at the West End was
the scene Of the contest, and both
men were out ut Lakeside early,
ready for meeting. KilrIiin came
from Richburg on Friday. He look
ed as brown as berry, weighed 207
pounds, and was 4 better man than
the day he fought Sullivan. Vac
quelin was also fit physically in a
general way, but complained Of pain
in the groin which caused a swelling
in the left leg and made him n little
lame. He never thought of backing
out, however. BY $50 there was
gathering ofabout 1900 people. Some
of the oldest and best were out.
There were prominent educators,
members OF exchanges, bOn-ton
clubs, federal, state and city officers,
militiamen AMI athletes aud race

originated under the care of a colOred
man, as [ am informed, of Charleston,
S. C. For some years it has been under
cultivation in my garden where the
ground is always moist. Here are some
of it's good qualities: 1t is the best poor
land variety Ihave ever noticed, growing
luxuriantly with little fertilizing. Where
the plants were we'll treated and given
room they will grow foot high and two
feet broad. The fruit is not larger than
that of the Hoffman, but is of fine size,
sufficiently sweet and as fragrant as
could be desired.
1t is not quite as early as some other
sorts nor quite as late as the Sharpless,
but my last quart was picked this year,
July 10th.
Of it's shipping qualities cannotspeak,
not having tried it. But for family use
know of nothing superior.
This year am proposing to plant
mainly of the NOisett, and [ expect to
put the rows three feet apart and the
plants about eighteen inches apart. Then
l expect the plants to lap in the rows by
June and to leave barely enough room
between the rows for the picker.
With such room and an extra fertiliz-
ing in May there isfruit expected through
July at least.
If there be an objection to this
berry it may be it's wealth of runners,
which start rather early must be kept off
for late bearing. Seeing somewhere that

Perhaps there is no State in the Union
which suffers so much at the hands of it's
professed friends as Florida does; or, ii
that is putting it too strong we might
modify by saying it is helped so little by
it's friends. There is a class who call
themselves Floridians who only spend
their winters in Florida and go north in
the spring. These persons spend but lit
tie money in Florida, and the little they
do spend is spent unwillingly. Ii they

it, pay for what they must, but carry the

and even their table supplies as far as
they can, although these things can be
obtained here as cheaply as there. We
know of persons, who, if the merchants of
Florida had to depend on them, they
WOuldstarve to death in less than year.
And yet these same persons will talk of
vi COllIBIdlu
about the want ofenterprise and "git up,
in FlOridians, yet it is the poor native Or
the steady, plodding immigrant, who
stays here all the year round, who makes
it possible for these others to live here at
all. There is no excuse at all for leaving
Florida in the summer in search Ofhealth
or comfort. Those who go usually go
late in the spring and return early in the
fall, thus getting the hottest weather
there and both ends of our summer here.
So in reality the summer is just as long
for them asif they had remained athome.
Those who remain at home find more
comfort and enjoy life best. If d change
of climate is necessary we think as much
benefit can be obtained by soiourn at
some of our ocean beach resorts for a
month or two, as by going North.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIST.
Protecting our Forests.
Acknowledging your great efforts in
raising the agricultural standard OF this
country, wish to call your attention to
a point that, although most important,
apparently has been overlooked hereto
fore. | mean the preservation of our
woodlands.
The history of Europe for centuries as
well as the short experience from Ameri-
can history, has provenin every instance
the necessity OF a certain. amount OF
forestial areal in every country and the
ruinous consequences from the destruc-
tiOn of such timberlands. Most all the
States of the Union in succession OF their
settlement have experienced a falling OF
in their average temperature of several
degrees, a change from an evenly temper
ed climate to long droutls, sudden floods,
heavy frosts and suffocating heat. Most
Of those States, prOtiting from scientific
researches and statistical lessons have
tracked these disasterOus changes to the
causes producing them and upon finding
satisfactory evidence for those causes in
the unscientific destruction of their tim
berinterests, have taken steps for restitu-
tion and protection of the same. AS a
matter, of course, this cannot be accom-
plished by individuals, but has to be
taken in hand by the State with the re-
spective cooperation of the government,
as it requires large bodies of forests in
order to have any effect On the general
climate and a large number of years to
bring in returns from their cultivation
on scientific basis. The Forestry AS
sociation of the United States by untir-
ing efforts has succeeded in raising the
public attention to this most important
factor Of the general welfare of the whole
population and the official report OF the
Secretary of Agriculture for 1889 gives
very valuable information of it's success,
according to which there is lively in
terest awakened and decisive steps taken
in that direction in the States OF Cali
fornia, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New York, New Hampshire, Massachu-
setts, etc.
How is it, that the ruinous devastation
of treasures, built up by providence in
thousands of years for the creation of
FIorida's unique climate,goes on with al
most insane rapidity without her people
putting stop to it? While for all other
States the change of climate simply des-
troys the possibility OF raising fewer
fruits and altogether successful farming,
their manufacturing interests remaining
more or less intact in the beginning, for
Florida it is question OF existence. 1t
