worthy intending emigrant, with these
pretty Florida pictures These "settlers"
have not come here to make their fortunes;
they came with their fortunes already
made. If they were dependent upon their
orange crops, their fountains would be pals
Of water carried from the lake. their coach
horses would be mules. their coaches buck
boards, their mansions cabins, their lawns
Of scrub palmetto. They might have these
handsome things in time, but it would be
after years Of patient waiting, years of de-
privation, years of abstinence from the RAJ

TO TEST THE WOOL BILL.
afR. SPRINGER WILL ASK A VOTE
IN COMMITTEE TO-DAY.

A Week Hence He Expects to Report
the Bill in the House-The Binding
Twine Bill Likely to Be Given Pre-
oedence In the Call of Tariff Bills.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-Chairman Spring.
ar proposes to ask vote on his free wool
hill without amending it so as to cut down
the woolen duties any further. in the full
wavs and means committee tomorrow.
He expects 20 have it ordered to be reported
favorably by a strict party vote, the
motion being supported by oil the demo-
crats.
He expects to report it to the House one
week from tomorrow, giving both sides in
the committee week in which to prepare
the majority and minority reports on it.
Mr.. Springer has the majority report
practically ready now, but although the free
wool bill will be the first reported.
It will probably not be the first
tariff bill called. The free binding twine
hill. which is to follow it from the commi-
tee. will probably be the first called up as
being acceptable to the farmers. There
seems little doubt now that serious at
tempt will be made to pass these bills, in
spite Of the advice given by Hill, German
and BrIce to do nothing with the tariff.

a DEFAULTHR AND INSANE.
Injudicious Speculation Caused Judge
Ritter's Downfall.

Ritter's Downfall.
LOUISVILLE, KY. Feb. 4.-Judge John
Ritter, cashier of the Deposit Bank of Glas-
gov, which failed a few days ago, is de-
faulter and insane. He was found to be in
debt to the bank for $685. 900. Judge Ritter,
besides being one of the representative citi-
Zens Of Barron county, is one of the most
widely known men in that section of the
state. When the failure Of the Deposit
Bank was announced as imminent Judge
Ritter took prompt measures to turn over
to the bank all OF bis property, worth about
$4,000.
In the rear of Judge Ritter's house is a
large field upon which several farm hands
we're working. At 10 o'clock their atten-
tion was attracted toward the house by
loud hailooing and cries for help, and they
saw running across the field man per-
fectly nude, Resticulating like q
maniac. He was recognized as Judge
Ritter, their employer, and all started
in pursuit After long chase he was capt
ured and overpowered aud removed to the
house. A physician pronounced the afflic-
tion a case Of acute insanity, brought on by
great mental strain. Judge Ritter's finan-
oial trouble is assigned to injudicious specu-
lation during the past three years.
Reports from Glasgow to-day say that
Judge Ritter has recovered his mind and
that he can show that the money he OBJ
tained from the bank was in due form a
loan and not a misuse of the banks money.

What originated the panic was the sus~
pension of negotiations Of the Ottoman

creation OF an eastern stocks trust; then
came the news of the arrest OF a banker

merely matter of a deficit in an

on the Chicago Columbian exhibition made
by Col. J. II. Sadler, British vice consul in

adding that 1t hardly looks as If the British
government, did, while France Is affording

hope that the government will not sacrifice
its interests oi commerce by applying for
smaller space than is likely to be required
by the large number of British exhibitors.
