A DEPLoRABLE accident occurred at the
home of Mrs Mary E. Moore, in Barnes
vile, last Thursday evening about S
o'clock. Her oldest son, John W, aged
"A, while ascending the stairway, fell
backward from the top to the bottom,
breaking his neck and perhaps his back,
killing him instantly. Johnny" as he
was familiarly known, was victim of
the late planning mill explosion in that
place, where he was terribly injured.
Since that time he had formed an appetite
for drink, sometimes taking more than
was good for one in his weak condition,
and the night above mentioned was one
of these occasions his untimely
death. Deceased was finished machin-
ist, having worked for number of years
with H. F. Blandy at GAINESVILLE. He
was unassuming and inotfensive, kind
and generous. He leaves a brother and an
aged mother, to whom sympathy is ex-
tended, to mourn his loss. Mr.. Moore
was a cousin of J. p Hall, of this Office.

Wanting and Getting.

1t has been said that the reason SO few
people get what they want in this world
is that they do not want it hard enough.
There is profound truth at the bottom of
this odd conceit Earnest striving and
perseverance are rare qualities. A little
struggle, and then falling off; few
faint efforts, and then despair-this is
the usual story of attempts to 'get any
thing" whether it be physical, mental
or spiritual good But to long for a
thing SO strongly that for the sake of its
attainment one can conquer obstacles,
live down opposition, ignore discourage
ment and work persistently and through
years of trial and obscurity toward the
fultillment of hope-isn not this the rec
ord of all grand achievements and the
history of all purposeful lives?
Many more wishes might be realized
if people were willing to pay this price
for them. Anything worth having in
this world is dear, including experience.
Genius itself has been defined as only
unlimited patience, or an endless capac-
ity for hard work.
1t was told of some celebrated general
that he never knew when he was defeat
ed. By and by he could not be defeated.
A little Of the same spirit infused into
ordinary life work would make many a
dream possible that now seems to the
wistful dreamer as extravagant as the
cloudiest castle in Spain.-Harper's Ba-

Why Humanity Is Dwarfed.

Woman has not suffered alone from
the denial to her of political equality.
The human race is like man who
through infancy. youth and manhood
has compelled his right leg to bear the
burden of his body, regarding the left
merely as an ornamental appendage, to
be swung up by supports and tricked out
with ribbons, lace and jewelry. The one
would be nerveless and feeble, the other
lame and overworked, and the progress
of the whole body would be hating. I'M
even and slow. So with the body pol
itic. All who are interested in public
affairs feel how lame, unequal and i'm
perfect is the advance of society, and
how heavily drag the mighty interests
of the great republic.
1t will be no better till complete JUS
tlce is done to woman. With her en-
reimbursement there will come nobler
era. Then, with interests that are jden-
teal, with a humanity common to both.

nine heart, wisdom supplemented with

Heavier Engines Bound to Come

The demand of the time is to move
weight over distance at the least posi-
bic cost to it on slow freight or fast pas
senger trains. There are hundreds of
locomotives in service of about forty
tons weight, capable of hauling a train
of 100 tons at the average running rate
of sixty miles an hour. But that is not
the kind of fast train that our railroad
managers want. They are required to
make money for the companies employ
ing them, and they realize that it pays
much better to use locomotives weigh
ing sixty tons that are capable of haul
ing a fast train of 300 tons.
1t is curious study, and one that is
interesting to some minds, to investigate
the rapid speed that might be made with
safety with locomotives having abnor-
mally large drivers, but as far as the
bearing on American railroad operating
is concerned, it is just as practicable as
speculations or calculations respecting
the time it would take balloon of GER
tain proportions to reach the moon

Races in Brazil,

The pure whites of Brazil comprise
about 80 per cent. of the total popula.
ton; 20 per cent. or so are negroes, and
about 35 per cent. mulattoes, while the
remainder are aboriginal Indians. In
the northern provinces the Indians are
most numerous, and in Rio de Janeiro,
Bahai, Pernambuco and Minas the ne.
groes are to be found in great numbers.
The greater part of the Europeans in

Trials of AN Author.

There came to man who has had a
success in literature which we should
envy did we not all agree he deserves it,
a lady who was neither young nor fair,
but who had the assurance of youth in
combination with the obstinacy of ad-
vancing years.
81 have decided" she said to him,
that must earn my living by writing
poems. | sent poem to the Blank
Magazine, and they returned it with a
printed slip Now, want you to write
mistake"
It naturally seemed to the author that
he had to deal with humorist or mad
woman; but the lady was certainly in
earnest and apparently sane. He en-
deavored to show her that it was not his
business to interfere with the decisions
of the editors of magazines, who might
be supposed to know their own business
The lady insisted, however, and in the
end he was forced to decline point blank
to do what she asked. Thereupon she
turned upon him and declared that he
was one of those who endeavor to keep
others out in order that they NAV have
the field to themselves, and who are
meanly jealous of other authors who are
sure to eclipse them if they are but
heard.
ut is all a ring" she declared with
vehemence. II have been told so be-
fore, and now l am sure of It. can't
make you do justice to me, but | can
show you up"
Her method of showing him u u has
been to send letters of bitter invective to
the papers, one of which fell into my
hands. Of course nobody would print
them, but she perseveres, and in addition
to this she sends to the luckless author,
whose crime is that he did not make the
editor of the Blank Magazine print the
rhymes of an unknown woman, letter
once week. Of course he burns them
unopened, and it is not easy to see what
satisfaction it can be to the woman to
keep on with this sort of thing, but the
fact remains that she does. The story is
not of profound Importance, but it throws
a curious bit of a side light upon the life
of the successful author of today.-Arlo

A Cinch for the M. ID.

Asgood story comes all the way from
San Francisco. 1t is said that lady ap-
piled to her physician in that city for ad-
vice and prescription. He had long at
tended her and her family, and on this
occasion he recommended that she go tc
a popular watering place in that part OF
the country, giving her letter of intro
duction to a physician who resided al
the springs.
On the way there the lady remarked
to her daughter that as long as her doc
tor had been treating her he had never
stated just what was her ailment. GIVE
a good mind to open this letter and see
what he says of my case to the other
doctor" Acting on the impulse she tore
open the envelope, and, taking out the
letter, read, Dear Doctor-Keep the old
lady four weeks, and then send her back
to me. Detroit Free Press.

In the course of his sermon Rev. Nc
Leod told the congregation that if any
among them were asleep they had better
wake up or they would miss hearing a
good story. Much to the amusement OF
the congregation one old man left his
seat, advanced few steps up the
aisle, grasped another old man by
the shoulder, and, after giving him
sound shake, whispered in his ear
sufficiently loud enough to be heard
in all parts Of the church: Brother B.
Wake up! The elder is going to tell a
story. If you would keep better hours
Saturday nights you would be able to
keep awake during church services. "

tirely ceased when the benediction was
pronounced.-Sun Prairie (Wis.) Coun-

also in the following reign of Richard

been in white and with AIRED cross of st.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

A bill to pension school teachers grown
old III the service is now before both
branches of the Legislature. 1t provides
for those only who have given twenty
tlye years service in the public schools
OF the State OF California. Ii is urged on
the ground that the teachers OF the public
schools lay the foundation of republi-
can government, and that republican
principles cannot fail while public schools
are well maintained; that good teachers
make good schools and good citizens, but
to retain good teachers provision must be
made for them in their old ages lest the
ablest and best be constantly deserting
the schools for more remunerative en-
ployment; that the teacher, who now
quits the profession in old age, is, by rea-
son OF the narrowing tendency and
wearing nature OF his employment. I'M
fitted for any other remunerative calling
and doeS'so with shattered health, and
business habits unframed and useless;
and that instead of being provided for by
the people, whom his services have made
great, the teacher is now turned out to
the cold comforts of charity: that his
salary is barely sufficient for the yearly
needs of himself and those dependent
upon him, so that he can make no pro-
vision for old age, and that this is not
credltabie TO 4 people whose success is
based upon the labcrs of these faithful
servants. A careful estimate made by
the Secretary of the State Board of Equal
ization on data furnished, giving max
imtIm number possible to avail of benefits
under the provisions of such an Act,
demonstrates the fact that the tax re-
quired will amount TO less than one cent
for every thousand dollars of taxable
property. These bills will be consid-
cred on Monday night next by the SEN
ate and Assembly Committees ON Educa-
ton, sitting in the Assembly Chamber in
joint session, when people interested
will be present to give reasons why thew
think the committees should recommend
the bin for passage.
Last evening was dull one about the
legislative halls. There We're but one or two
committees in session, and the Assembly
