The greatest football game ever played
in this section took place here Saturday
between the State university and Trinity
college teams They lined up as follows:
University. Trinity.
Booth, Left End, Eure
Pugh, Lett Tackle. Hartsell
Sharp, Left Guard Coles
Murphy, Centre, Whitaker
kirkpatrick, Right Guard. Avery (CaptD
Little, Right Tackle. Caldwell
Merritt, Right End, Durham
Barnard (Capt) Quarter Back, Flowers
Tull, Left Half Back, Maytubbie
Baskerville, Right Half Back, Tuttle
Whedbee, Full Back, Daniels
The game was begun, Trinity having
the ball, at $50. 1t was manifest from
the outset that the game was to be
gigantic struggle between teams almost
equal in every particular. SO fairly were
they matched that until the very moment
when the game was called, the result was
doubtful in the extreme.
Trinity began the game, using Duland's
wedge, and gained 10 yards; but on tech.
nicality in the execution of play, the ball
was given to University on the centre
line. From this to Trinity's yard line
the 'Narsities, by their Whedbee and
baskerville and Tull, drove the ball ire
sistibly, breaking through Trinity's line
behind and beside their mammoth guard,
kirkpatrick. BY hard and skillful play
ing the mighty Iushes were at last checked
by Trinity, within yards of their own
goal; and the ball went into their posses
sion, Whedbee's last rush failing to gain
the necessary distance. Then began
Trinity's playing. BY series of rushes
few yards were gained, but it became
evident at once that if there was no re.
source of the "blues" but their breaking
the Varsity line, they must certainly be
defeated. But such resource was not
wanting; for the ball being passed to
Daniels and with excellent interference
of the Trinity "backs" and right end,

their sleeves all the time"
As the cab, however, rapidly nearcd
the hotel Simpsons inpatient anxiety
increased. He began to think that pos
sibly he might arrive in time. The East
Indian. confident that he had an hour
or two at command, would proceed with
the utmost caution for the purpose of
disarming all possible suspicion.

he was moro than 90 minutes on the

He drew bill of the right denOmina-
ton from his wallet and handed it to tho
driver while the cab was drawing up at
the curb. Tho door was showed open.
Simpson leaped out and went through

as he could without overturning people
or being overturned himself.

looks to me as if there had been soma

There could be 10 doubt that Folsom
Simpson and this uerson were old ac-
quaintances. The fact was the detective
had done worl. for him niore than once.
The clerk was vastly relieved to have
the embarrassing load lifted from his
shoulders. He quickly explained the
situation. His superior listened gravely
and then nodded to Simpson to approach. !
"How is this, Fol!'
The detective made everything clear
in as few words as possible.
This is an extraordinary story in

clerk, you came near committing an

"IVhy don't you get IT," rodrcd Simpson.
The man who is in furious hurry is
sure to find the most eYaspcrating OBJ
stacles in his path.
II has been said that when the East
Indian seated in the New York Acad-
envy Of Music turned his head so that
Detective Simpson for the first time
gained fair view of his face the officer
nearly fell from bis seat in his excite
ment.
That view OF the sepoy's comtenance
was a revelation to him.
The man was one of the couple that
had come around the world from Cal
cutta to recover the rajah's ruby, and
that had made such deadly assault on
the detective in the grounds of the Liv-
ermore homestead
But he was not the one that had ac-
coinpanied Simpson and Arthur Fair
child from Northampton that day. lie
was Wichman-this was LuSro.
While the two resembled each other III
appearance, 10 one could have fair
view of the respective cOuntenances ard
mistake their identity.
This resemblance and the fact that
they were both dressed in the same fash
ionable costume led Detective Simpson
to make a natural error when he OBJ
served one of them seated II short way i'll
front Of him; but, as we have shown,
when this same subtle miscreant turned
his face into full view he committed a
fatal blunder himself, for he instantly
apprised the officer OF the truth, whereas
had he but refrained from this facial
exposure Simpson would never have
dreamed who he was until the dismissal
of the audience from the building, and
then all hope would have been gone.
Thus it was that the whole astounding
plot flashed upon the officer. Despite
his certainty that his own identity was
unsupported, Wichman knew him and
his business, and had played a mortally
clever trick upon him. He had substi-
tuted Lugro for himself, doing it with
such skill that Simpsons suspicion was
lulled until the moment named,
Where was WicMnan:

and gained two, three on more hours in
which to work ont his plot without fear
of interference from detectives or police
officers.

such stirring experience some nights
before. With seeming carelessness he
glanced around the large building and
could not avoid start when he OBJ
served the East Indian seated directly
abreast of Fairchild, but on the opposite
side of the aisle.
He was on the end seat. fumbling the
programme with his dolicately gloved
hands, as though he were u regular at
tendant of such places and somewhat
bored with the treat about to be offered
him.
Gle is keen one" reflected the Off
Ger, 'for, though lost sight of him for u
good while, he has kept track of Fair
child and will not lose him until he makes
one effort at least to recover the ruby"
The house rapidly filled up, and soon
Uncle Josh made his appearance, to the
delight of the spectators.
Detective Simpson had witnessed the
play before, but he would have found en-
tertainment in it again could he have been
able to forget the two individuals in tho
that little town in Connecticut to the me-
tropolis of the country. They We're never
absent from his thoughts, and from his
coign Of vantage his eyes continually
passed from one to the other
There could be no installing the inter
est of Fairchild. He laughed, became
serious almost to tears and applauded
To oil a
the presence Of any one else in the house
besides himself. Doubtless he would
have been delighted could he have had a
certain fair one then in Northampton at
his side to share his pleasure, but that
was out of the question.
From his seat opposite, the East In
dian occasionally glanced across at Tic
young man. He showed no special in
terest in him that would have attracted
the notice of any one besides the observ-
ant officer. There was no call for him
to turn often toward his intended victim
gor the latter was sure to stay where he
was until the performance was over.
The evening was half finished whcr
the Asiatlc suddenly turned his head anG
looked at the people behind him. Doing

said the clerk. clancing hcsitatinglv at
the letter in hi, hand and into the face of
the East Indian.
The latter replied conrteously and in
good English;
Very true, rs he explained TO me, but
he is with a party mp town to whom he
is anxious 20 show the article; two Of his
friends leave by the steamer tomorrow
and wish to have a look at the diamond
before they go. Mr.. Fairchild was about
to call a cab to drive down here to get
it, and they offered to accompany him,
but that was announcement since they are
so pleasantly placed. Besides they have
number Of lady friends with them, and
it would be hardly proper for them to
come here
Did Mr.. Fa;rchild say nothing about
any difficulty You were likely to have III

Inasmuch a. the discussion was con-
corning the raiah's ruby, it struck Simp-
son as singular that Wichman should re-
fer to it as diamond, but the officer

quest. Yo, may not be familiar with
his handwriting, but You can compare

The clerk had already compared the
two, but he lid so again. He was en-.
barrassed rs to what he ought TO do. An
expert in wlitsg would have sworn that
the same hand lad written both, and yet
Folsom Simpson knew that the sigma

The latter glanced inquiringly at him
and then read the slip, on which was
hastily traced the following:

This certainly was enough 10 make the

way through it. Plants should be set in
the open ground from October 18th to
December 18th. The fertilizer recon-
mcndcd by one Of the most successful
celery growers of Bradford county is a
compost of cow manure, cotton seed
meal, soft phosphate and sulphate Of
potash
The young plants should be set six
inches apart in the roW-the rows to be
four feet apart. For each row double
furroW should be plowcd out This
furrow should be partly filled with the
compost or any other fertilizer used
with the addition Of one quart of coarse
salt to every sixty feet Of row. The fur
row should then be filled up to within
two or three inches of the surface
Of the ground. The color of the plant
should be set even with the top of the
furrow. If the soil is dry at the time of
setting water thoroughly.
In five or six weeks the plants should
be handled, straig ightening the plants and
pressing the soil up around each AS
the plants grow banking should be done
and be done frequently, for if neglected
the celery becomes tough and stringy
and will not blanche properly.
The New Celery Culture" of which
much has been said would not do on our
lands without very high fertilization
and irrigation This new method is to
plant celery SO close that it will com
pletely shade the stalks, the celery thus
blanching itself without banking. So
far as our observation has gone the only
place where we believe this new method
to be practicable at present is on the
Sub-irrigated vegetable farms in St.
Johns county. The market for celery is
from March to July 1. The prices
obtained last year ranged from S.. 90 to
$50 per box Of thirty roots There is
no one of the other Southern States that
can successfully compete with us in this
product. IS this not an opportunity for

REPORT of the Committee on Vegetables, pre-
pared by Mr., G. IL. Hastings, of Interlachen, af-
ter consultations with II. ii. Hastings, of Hast
ings, Florida. Paper read by Mr.. II. H. II asst
ings, of Hastings, Florida, before the State Hor-
ticutural Society at Tallahassee at it's sixth an
nual meeting.1
Mr.. President and Members of the State HOrti-
cultural Society:
This meeting of the society coming
a month earlier than usual makes it i'm
possible to give the results of many in
teresting experiments that are being con-
Quoted this spring with the different
vegetables.
The year as whole has been the most
favorable for vegetable growing that we
have had for many years. The excessive
rainfall has injured some crops on the
lower lands but has been a benefit to
those on higher ground.
Owing to the shortage Of vegetables in
the North the prices SO far have been
good. While we do not wish to again
cover the subject treated last year we
want to say few words further as to
the Bermuda onion. Many growers have
found it difficult to mature their onion
crop before the slump" in price comes.
The maturity of the onion can be has
tened by slight sacrifice of size in this
manner; when the bulb has reached the
most salable size (hrec inches in diam
eter) take light scufflc hoe and run
along one side of the row below the bulb,
cutting off onc-half Of the root. The
cutting of the roots stops the growing of
the bulb and the tops will die down in
the same manner as with complete ma
turity.
A method by which the Bermuda can
be had in December and January is this.
Obtain seed and SOW for sets in February
and March, Let them grow until june.
Brush the tops by rolling barrel over
them, take up and cure and let stand in
dry place until September, when they
should be planted out The onions from
these sets will mature in December and
January. This can only be done with
Florida grown sets.
The bean as vegetable crop is very
important one, especially in the south
ern counties. Improved strains OF the
Refugee, and Valentines or the green
potted variety, and the Kidney Wax are
the varieties principally used. Yosemite
Wax, the mammoth of the wax bush
bean, is rapidly coming into favor, but
the high price of seed has as yet kept
many from planting it. The pods of
this variety are from twelve to sixteen
inches long, are of excellent quality and
stand shipment well. One of the great
est drawbacks in the culture Of BEANS
especially of the wax variety, is the
pod blight or rust. This difficulty
can be overcome by the following:
First plant on well-drained soil.
