They Issue an Address to the People
OF Florida.


OF Florida.
The Florida Worlds Fair Direc-
tory has issued the following address
to the people:
To the Citizens of Florida.
Florida's board of directors for the
Worlds fair appointed by the Or
lando convention was authorized to
raise the sum of 100000, the resolu-
ton appointing them providing that
lif a minimum Of $4,000 was not
raised by April l, 1892, the dirce-
tory should return to the subscribers
their subscriptions, less 10 per cent
which they were authorized to spend
for expenses. The board not having
secured this minimum, resolution
was adopted at Tampa on the 23d
inst, directing that all subscriptions
be returned in full, without reserv-
ing any percentage, for the members
of the directory have themselves
paid all the expenses in
Cured in their efforts to secure
creditable exhibit at the Worlds
fair.
1t must be apparent to every read
ing citizen of Florida that the board
has worked increasingly and on every
possible line, too numerous to write
in this address, to secure the amount
called for; but it has not been within
the;power of the board, even lift was
it's desire, to override the law of the
state; and the members find their
labors are lost. The directory will
maintain its organization for several
reasons, the most important being
that Florida may continue to hold its
superior assignment of space, to-
wit:
First-for a state building, it be-
ing in the opinion of the directory,
the best location on the grounds;
Sc cond space in the horticultural
building, this being an acre at the
main entrance; third-twelve hun
dred square feet in the agricultural
building; fourth-space 20 feet by 20
in the mining building.
Should South Florida, whose coun-
ties have shown so much interest in
this movement, or should any other
new organization be effected, the dir
ectory stands prepared to transfer to
the same all the advantages of loca-
ton already secured.
The directory has authorized S. B.
thurman 10 represent it, at his own
expense, in securing phosphate ex-
hibit.
The directory feels certain that the
ladies will succeed in securing a cred |
liable display&n their work, and the |
schools of the state will no doubt be

will also display the wonderful re-
sources of that section of the state
is highly probable; and around this
Florida must rely for IN exhibit at

How George Washington Remember

How George Washington Remembered
and Rewarded Two Pretty Sisters.
When Washington returned to Phil
adelphia after his trip to the east, in
1889, he stopped at Uxbridge, Mass.
and was entertained at the home of
Samuel Taft The old homestead, with
the great oak before the door, remains
yet in possession of the family, pre-
served in commemoration of the dis
tinguished visitor.
Washington was so we'll pleased with
his reception and entertainment at Tx
bridge that he wrote the following let
ter to Mr.. Taft, which is carefully pre-.
served in the family:

"Sir: Being informed that you have given
my name to one Of your sons, and called another
after Mrs. Washingtons family Oandridgel,
and being moreover very much pleased with the
modest and innocent looks Of your two daugh-
tiers, Patty and Polly, 1 do for these reasons
send each Of these girls piece of chintz; and
to Patty, who bears the name of Mrs. Washing
ton, and who waited more upon us than Polly
did, 1 send five guineas, with which she may
buy herself any little ornaments she may want,
or she may dispose Of them in any other man.

hand. IF you will only tell Gen.
Washington about my father, l know
he must find him innocent. I will love

He will do all he can for him, and l

There was strength and gentleness
in the mans touch which strangely
thrilled and treasured Hope.
Looking up, half shyly, as the moon
continued to lend her feeble light,
Hopes clear eyes scanned her rescuer.
He was tall, very erect, and wrapped
in a gray cloak. There was something
