An Alleged Dead Man Turns Up
Alive.

An Alleged Dead Man Turns Up
Alive.
BosToN, Sept. Fisherman Cummins,
one of the alleged victims of the Park
Place disaster at New York, has arrived
in Boston from Nova Scotia, where he
was on pleasure trip, instead Of being
buried in the ruins as reported. A letter
falling to reach his wife announcing his
departure from New York, caused the
mistake. Mrs. Cummins identified one
of the remains as his, buried it and ac-
cepted $1,000 as relief fund. This
places Cummins in an embarrassing fix.
He cannot identity himself unless his
wife will, and if she does she must give
up the money. If she prefers the money,
Cummins must remain dead, for his wife
gave by accident or design wrong de-
scription of him, making him lame and
two inches shorter than he is. Cumnlins
is mad clear through.

ADJUSTMENTS

At the Metropolitan Theater Friday
and Saturday evenings next, Nat. c.
Goodwin. the well-known comedian, will
appear in "The Nominee and 't,The
Gold Mine," the first piece Friday night.
Both are new plays and neither has been
given here. Mr.. Goodwin made his first
California appearance in this city. 1t
was many years ago, and when he was
young in theatrical business. But in
Hobbies" he achieved a wonderful sue
cess, and the play and the actor impressed
the people SO deeply that to this day they
are spoken of with a smile of satisfaction
Mr.. Goodwin's later achievements have
been far more pretentious, but we doubt
If he will ever be able to please audiences
more effectively than he did those Of
Sacramento when he was first introduced
here. Nat. Goodwin has the art mimetic
as have too few comedians; his facial ex-
preston is something irresistible and al
most inimitable IN it's mirth-provoking
quality. In both 1.-THE Nominee and
The Gold Mine" he made pronounced
hits in his recent successful engagement at
the Balwin Theater, San Francisco The
critics say. and with surprise, that Mr.,
Goodwin has introduced changes into his
art in these pieces that no one could have
anticipated, and that make him the mas
ter of burleSque and an unrivaled mimic
"a Gold Mine" is by Brander Mathews
ono OF the most accomplished literary
men and one of the best-informed book
men of the day. His collaborator was
Geo. III. JeSSop, an accomplished drama
list. THE Nominee" is from the French.
adapted by Richardson q Yardley. It is
q capital story of the substitution by a
political candidate of his secretary for
himself in the campaign, while he takes
a day Off for lark The company of
MIR. Goodwin is strong. The press has
nowhere spoken in any other than terms
of warm commendation of it and of the
two plays, while Goodwin has come in
for approval in a way that must be very
fiattering to his vanity. Seats will be on
sale for the engagement tomorrow morn
ing.
At Turner Hall this afternoon and
evening, and every afternoon and even
ing this week, Mr.. Stice exhibits and ex-
plains the beautiful model, Babylon in
Miniature" It is work Of rare me-
chanical skill, and evinces long, hard
study of the history of the city so wick ed.
so luxurious, so beautiful and so corrunt'
The forty-foot model is, of course, not in
exact proportion-that could not be, and
yet admit Of close view; but it does give
an excellent idea OF the city and its mag
nificence, and shows the den of lions,
the Tower of Babel, the famous hanging
gardens, the great walls and gates Of
brass, the fiery furnace where Shadract
Meshech and Abednego walked. the royai
palace, the house Sampson felled, the
| barracks, the many towers, ETC. 1t is well
worth u visit, and is at once entertaining
and instructive.

STATE TAXATION.

The usually well informed and
generally correct Volusia County
Record falls into grave error, upon
the question of state taxation, in its
issue of July 80. 1t says: " The
state increased its levy this year Il
mills" No it didn't! The state
not only did not increase, but it de-
creased state taxes for 1891. The
levy for 1890 for all state purposes
was 81 mills, while the levy for 1891
for the same purposes, including the
school tax, has been reduced to ST
mills. Governor Fleming and the
state officials are doing all in their
power to tighten the burden of taxa
ton, and they will continue to re-
duce the levy whenever they can do
so on a business basis.

CRUEL STENOGRAPHERS.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York World, under date of
July p, says "Senator Call of Flor.
ida" is there attending to "a little
private business" He reports WIKI
as declaring that Governor Fleming
has no authority to make or unmake
senators, and as saying he does not
care whether the governor signs his
credentials or not. But perhaps Call
will care when the United States
senate votes to seat the man appoint
ed by Governor Fleming.
The same correspondent tells how
the official stenographers took some.
of the wind out of Wilk's sails.
Here is the story:
Of al public men who make speeches
on the floor of the house or senate, Sena-
t,r Call is the greatest terror to the OFF,
cial st nographers and the printers of tue
| Congressional Record. Call has been
| Florida railroad land grant that occupied
three days, and when he finally took his
seat it was with ''leave to print that he
dragged out through the entire session.
In fact, on one occasion he carried a large
batch Of manuscript to the government
printing Office several days after congress
had adjourned and asked to have it in
serted in the revised edition of the Con-
q ssional Record. Callalways gets from
the official stenographers the manuscript
of his speeches and revises it with great
care. The CHEF labor Of his revision,
however, consists in the additions which
| he makes to it. Under the system in
vogue IN the stenOgraphic corps the
writer's who trans cribe the stenOgraphtrs'
notes ale in the habit of putting but a
few words on page for convenience in
dis ributing copy among the printers as
we'll as to enable senator. to interline cor
rections. In editing his own manuscript
it was Senator Cal S custom relgiously
to fill up every blank line on the page. II
the page was nearly full, of course he
could only add line or two, but if there
were only few words on the page he
woul pad it out conscientiously to the
very bottom 1t took the stenogr, pliers
a long time to 'get on" to Senator Call,
but when they did an order was issued to
leave no blanks in his manuscript. The
plan worked perfectly, for thereafter the
senator's corrections were comprised in a
few slight changes Of phraseology The
senator was heard to complain to one OF
his colleagues, however, that ''tho.e
shorthand writer's don't give fellow any
show these days"

asserting and packing pears as well
as any other fruit shipped for profit
N eatness of package goes long way
in securing full prices. In evidence
of this Mr.. E. Fl. Pool Of the com.
mission house Of John Grierson &
Co., says he has not sold a single
barrel of Mrs. E. A. Dykes pears
for less than $3.50 a barrel. They
were carefully and closely packed.
The pear growers and shippers
must organize and hold experience
meetings, just the same as the to-
bacoo growers are now doing with
such marked success.
With proper, systematic and ju-
dicious management the pear indus
try in Leon county can be made very
profitable. The shippers must be
educated. They must be taught
that the heater and more attractive
the package the better chance there
is for full and satisfactory prices.
This end can be accomplished
quicker and better by organizing q
Pear Shippers Union than in any
other manner. Try it and be con-

RISEN FROM THE GRAVE.
rnrn the lack eonvill0 Standard

| From
Before the session of the last legis-
lature systematic attempt to circu-
late defamatory fAlsehoods on the
opponents of Mr.. Call was made
through the medium of kilograms
and communications to northern
papers. In this way attacks were
made on the governor, on Messrs.
Taliaterro, TRAY, Chipley, Dunn
and others. Mr.. Dunn was distinct
ly charged with buying up papers
churches and votes to secure his
election and the whole finally culmi-
mated in the "carrier pigeon" infamy,
which became state scandal and
covered with disgrace more than
one of the would-be statesmen, who
were then claiming the earth and
the fulness thereof.
During the session of the legisla-
ture the game was resumed, but
new dose of caution was swallowed
on account of the FLoRID1AN's ex-
posure of its true inwardness.
Again the cards are shuff1ed and
new hand, are dealt around. On
July 9th letter appeared in both
the Times and Sun of New York,
showing the old-earmarks, which are
as much like the parents as these
children are like each other. In
both is there mention Of SUPPOSE
titious appointment gentleman" from
Palatka, and about the same time a
similar letter from Palatka appears
in the Atlanta Constitution These
anonymosities are so cowardly in
their desire Of concealment, 80 artful
in the misstatement of facts and 80
vile in insinuation that they could
only emanate from one hand or be
prompted by one brain which is
proud of doing dirty work by hired
fingers. The best answers to these
is the proof by the articles them
selves that they emanated from the
same source and therefore bear in
ternal evidence of that deception and
love of disguise which beft the low
motive and the hireiing pen. Here
are extracts side by side:
NEW YORK SUN, NEW YORK TINES,
The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1891-08-01

THE Buffalo Commercial tells of a
well.known clergyman who was
asked to solve the following prob
lem: If all the children that King
Herod killed were buried in such q
manner that only their arms from the
elbow to the tips of their fingers
were visible above the ground, how
could you distinguish the arms of
the boys from those of the girls?
The reverend gentleman worked at
it faithfully but was obliged TO give
it up. "For shame, DOCTOR" cried
the interroga:or, ''the idea that you
should forget that the children whom
Herod killed were all boys" - "
