MR.. ROSSlTER SEES A RELIGIOUS CRISIS.
HE BREACHES AGAINST OPENING THE FAIR on
SUNDAY


The Rev. :. b. Rossior spoke at the morning
vice yesterday in the North Presbyterian Church.
Ninth-avc. and Thlry-irst--t. on THE Religious
Crisis Precriiatrd by thu Opening OF the Worlds
Fair sunday This IS some 81 what he said
The decision o. the Board ~ Governors OF the
Worlds Fair TO open the Exhibition on sundays has
precpitated religious crisis In this country. 1t Is
a decision not only in violation of the Christian
mcnt of the Nation. but in open defiance Of Almighty
God. The Commits toner's were aware Of the Christian
continent they knew Gods will in regard to ihe
Sabbath and yet they openly say for the sake OF thu
Almighty dollar. We will take the risks Of Jehovahs
anger The only safety element In the question Is
the action of the religious people in the Nation.
Certain things ought Immediately to be done. The
Government should take back the S2,j0O,0O; Chris
tan Endcaycrcrs who are pledged not to visit the
Worlds Fair If IT should open the Sabbath ought
immediately 10 cancel all arrangements made to Visit
it, Christian people should give up all thought OF
going to the Fair. More than that all Christian men
and women on the various committees In the WORLDS
Fair should resign Immediately. Dr. BarGows ut the
head of the Christian Congress OF Religions should

OUR IDEAS ARE EXTRAVAGANT.

The people of Florida must dsmount
from the very thigh horse" they have
been cantering on for the past dozen or so
years. They mounted this aforesaid high
horse during the days of the wonderful
boom which struck Florida with all it's
ills, and after riding this animal for sew
eral years our people naturally are averse
to descending to the lowly every day an
imal of common sense and economy.
During the days of the boom, and for
several years succeeding,i it our people had
their ideas too high-they had caught
the fever of the boom and talked SO long
and so earnestly about big prices abnor-
NAL yields and thouSanddollar-p acre
crops that they got so they believed in
them firmly and when it was suggested to
them, after the collapse of the boom,
that such and such a crop might be
profitably grown, they would boot at it
and remark that it would net less than
$50 per acre. Fifty dollars per acre to
these people who had sold land at a thou
sand dollars per acre and talked of crops
yielding that much yearly, was a baga
telle which it was beneath their dignity
to consider for moment.
This high animal has been about rid

JU T IN TIME.

By the time this paper reaches our
readers it is possible that the repeal bill
(Which with the Voorhees, amendment
has passed the senate) will have passed
the lower house of congress and become
q law There has of course been diver
sity of opinion among our readers as to
the policy of this measure. Many doubt
less thought that the measure was
bad one and others that it was good
one, but we think they will all agree that
it was the best possible thing, as congress
was called together for the specific pur-
pose of enacting financial legislation,
for it to enact it and have done with
it. not to keep the county in suspense for
months.
Florida can congratulate herself that
the measure has passed as soon as it did,
for if it brings the promised relief-if it
opens the money vaults Of the country
and turns the money loose, now is the
time that the orange growers of Florida
want it done. Our immense orange crop
is ready for the buyer, and as it will
require millions of dollars to buy it we
are glad that there is a prospect Of the
money being ready. The capitalists, the
gold bugs $50 called) have said that the
only way to restore confidence and free
circulation of money was a repeal OF the
Sherman law Now that the law is re-
pealed we trust for the sake of the orange
growers of the State to see the prophesy
come true-we want to see the money
circulate freely, for in that case we know
the orange growers will receive a good
nrice for their fruit. On the other hand,
if the passage of the law had been de-
layed until sometime next year, or next

In another column we publish under
the Caption OF Fruit Claims at the Fair some
statistics of California products. We do this 70
the purpose of showing the possibilities Of nigh
culture and diversfcation. Florida has all the
advantages Of California to soil and climate,
and it only remains for our people to do their
best as well as nature has done hers, and we can
equal California.

den to DEATH and it is time our people
were coming off. The fact is there are
many crops that are now neglected that
would yield net revenue of from $50 to
$50 per acre. People in other States
would be only too glad if they could
find crops that would yield anything like
this. Look at the poor cotton planter
who raises bale of cotton to three acres
of land, pays IS for picking it and then
sells the product for $40 or $50 or per
haps less. There is hardly any crop that
could be planted in Florida that would
not do as we'll as this.
OF course we do not suggest that every
one go heller SHELTER into the business of
planting something without due thought
and study. But we do say that in nearly
every section Of the State some general
crop can be grown that will pay for the
growing and something over, and prob
ably pay better than the standard crops
OF the farming sections of the country.
We know of farmer who with very
little trouble grows thirty bushels of corn
TO the acre between the rows of young
orange trees. This corn if sold would
readily bring him as much clear money
as the cotton planter receives from three
acres of land planted in the staple. Then
there is rice, sugar cane, potatoes, caBsava,
peanuts, and a host of other things We
do not mean to say that they will make
millionaires of those who plant them,
nor will they yield boom prices, but they
will bring profit that any reasonable
farmer in other sections of the country
would be perfectly satisfied with.
If the orange growers of the Southern
portion of the State, for instance, would
stop looking for that thousand dollar per
acre crop and turn their attention to the
more modest products of the country,
they might be enabled to produce enough
to support their families during the year
and when the orange crop came it would
be clear profit. We have had our
ideas too high we must pull them down
peg to suit the times.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-11-08

OverCrOwded, OVefdOhe. They hold up
the orange industry as a bright example
of their claim. They say that the
crop of the State is already five million
boxes and that when present non-bear-
ing groves become productive the amount
of fruit will be quadrupled.
This reasoning is of course faliciOuS,
as must be evident to any close student
or observer. The orange growers of the
State are realizing greater profit for
their labor and investment than are any
other tillers of the soil on earth, and, as
rule they are more prosperous and in a
better financial condition than the farm
erS in any other section of the country.
The point raised by the chronic pessi-
mist that when the young groves will
have become productive the yield will
be SO great that the price of fruit will be
unremunerative, has been so often Sue
cessfully controverted that it would be
mere waste of time and space to argue
the matter further. Suffice it to say
that the market for the Florida orange,
which has heretofore been confined to a
few of the great cities of the United
States is gradually being extended to all
sections of our great country, and is get
ting firm foothold on foreign shores,
as demonstrated by the profitable prices
realized in Great Britain this season for
many thousand boxes of our fruit, and
the indications clearly point to a con-
tinued extension of the market that will
fully keep pace with the increase of pro-
duction.
But admitting, for argument sake, that
these incorrigible croakers are right
that the orange industry has reached it's
full development-we certainly have a
broad field for the successful and profta-
BILE development of other industries, in
dustries as yet hardly thought of. GER
tainly not OvercrOWded, as the pesSimist
would have it with the orange.
We have, for instance the fibre in
dustry-a most promising f1eld-sugar,
rice, small fruits galore and trucking and
thousands of others that will present
themselves to the wide-awake home
seeker and claim his attention and oc-
cupy his time, his capital and his en-
ergy.
Will the tourist develop these indus
tries? We think not, consequently our
advice is to pay more attention to the
matter of locating the homeseeker, even
if you have to neglect for period our
old-time pets-the tourists.

CULTIVATE THE HOMESEEKER

Every winter housands of people
from every section of the United States
visit Florida, baSk in our pleasant sun
shine for few months, rid themselves
of an incipient case of pneumonia, stave
off for little longer the dreaded tuber-
culosiS and return home. Every thing has
been done to cater to these people; pala-
tial caravansarls have been erected for
them, and our people have been wont to
regard them as harbingers of good times
and prosperity. The idea has ever been
prevalent that heavy tourist influx was
synonymous with prosperity and devel-
opment.
We hold to the contrary
These tourists add but little to our
material wealth, and the benefits accru-
ing to the State, fiat all observable are at
best ephemeral The tourist like a mi
grating bird comes, tarries with us a lit
tie while and is gone, and all he leaves
to remind us of his visit is, perhaps, a
pleasant memory. No one objects to
these birds of passage, they are harmless
and we like to have them among us.
But there occasionally drifts into the
State another class people-the home
seekers. We regret to say that in COM
parisOn to the numbe of the first men
toned class who visit us they are few
and far between. They do not find the
same inducements held out to them as
do the tourists. The tourist seeks com
fort and pleasant place to spend the
winter, and he finds it in the elegant
hOstelries erected especially for his COM
fort. The hOmeseeker seeks home and
he finds but little aside from the natural
advantages of the country to cause him
to cast his lot with us. He will of course
find numerous desirable sites for the
aforesaid home, but the present owners
in a majority of cases will put prohib-
tory price upon them and the seeker is
compelled to seek further until in many
cases he becomes tired and discouraged
and returns to his Northern home in dis
gust.
This latter class of people is the one to
which we should cater. While it is not
necessary to build fine hotels for the
comfort and accommodation of the home
seekers it is certainly necessary and
vastly to our interest to extend them
every facility in the selection of a home
and to offer them every possible induce
ment to locate among us. These home
seekers can we'll be termed harbingers of
prosperity, in truth. They portend de-
velOpment and growth. If they are
properly treated, unlike the migratory
tourist, they will not fit elsewhere with
the coming of spring and leave behind
naught but memory and a few dollars in
the till of the winter hotels, but they will
Stay and develop our waste lands and
each year assist in adding to our mater
ial wealth and making Florida what she
should have been long years ago-the
Empire State of the South.
Nine-tenths (and perhaps more) of the
State of Florida is as yet an unbroken
forest. Will the tourist and winter visi-
tors develop it? Hardly

LATER advices out to the damage done
to the orange crop place the injury much higher
than was at first supposed, but it is of course
next to impossible to make an estimate.

The New York Fruit Trade Journal
says; 1t is reported that some of the orange
growers at Anaheim, Cal, are digging up their
orange trees, owing to many of the trees being
infected with the red scale. Two more reasons
the unsatisfactory prices realized last season
and the fact that in many cases the trees look
unhealthy and show signs OF decay.

land At the age of Is he went to
London and apprenticed himself to
Thomas Tompion, a noted clock and
watch maker. and later was taken
into partnership and became famous
for the excellence of his work. 1t
was, however, his scientific inventions
that gave him his greatest promi-

the pendulum, due to the changes of
temperature by inventing the mercur-
ial bob. The great clock at Green
wich, which regulates the time OF
the English empire was made
by him in 1927. and, although it
has done duty for nearly century
and three-quarters, it is still in use
and could scarcely now be surpassed
in its mechanical excellence. II is
said, Notwithstanding the long inter-
val since it was made, that it does
not require attention oftener than
once a year. The mural arch at
Greenwich, used by the English gov
eminent for the testing of Quadrants
and other instruments, was the work
of his hands. So great was his repu-

Though Katie Carried the Gypsy's Charms
in Her Stockings.
Katie Astfalk has been wearing a
ring set with a green stone in her
left stocking and a little bag of sand
in her right stocking for eighteen
days in the vain hope that it would
bring her dark eyed lover with a
heap of wealth, says the New York
Sun. Katie was 80 years old and it
was the lover and not the wealth that
she wanted. Katie is fair-haired,
blue-eyed and trusting. Her friends
say there is no good reason why the
lover shouldn't have come without
the use of mascots.
Katie is employed as servant in a
residence on Central avenue, Newark.
She had saved $239. One day in Sep
TENDER jaunty gypsy woman, with
black eyes and hair as black as crows
feathers, called at the house. She
said to Katie:
"My child, what beautiful eyes you
have" Katie hung her head and
looked at the floor.
"My child" said the gypsy, "what
beautiful teeth you have" Katie shut
her lips.
"My child" said the gypsy, what
beautiful hands you have" Katie
held her hands behind her back
"Get me teacups, teacups, teacups,"
said the gypsy, land I will tell your
fortune"
Katie got three teacups and the
gypsy looked at them and said: "He
is good looking, is middle aged, black
eyed, and has great wealth. He will
soon propose marriage to you"
Katie was much pleased and gave
the gypsy SO. On October 2 the gypsy
came back and told Katie she would
bring the wealthy lover to her if well
paid for the service. She worked the
teacups again and told the woman a
marvellous tale about the man who
was to marry her. Katie was so i'm
pressed that she gave the gypsy $3.50
for the ring with the green stone.
The gypsy told Katie to carry the
ring in her stocking for three days
anu at nlSnJ put III unuef nef pillow.
At the end of the third day the
gypsy came back and got $50 more
for the little bag of sand to be carried
in Katie's right stocking for nine
days, and bottle of colored liquor
which was to be kept in her pocket
for the same period. Katie faithfully
followed the woman's instructions not
for nine, but for eighteen days to
make doubly sure. But no lover
came. Then Katie told some of her
friends about it. They advised her
to inform the police, and she did so
The police said that the gypsy no
doubt shook the red dirt of Jersey
from her shoes the day she got the
$50.
