WEDNESDAY, JUNE IA, 1898
a FINANCIAL FAILURE.

1t is now plainly apparent that the
worlds fair is not proving the financial
success which its promoters had hoped
to find it. The Chicago exposition was
built up on grand scale, probably a
grander one than the world will see for
some decades, if ever again, in this
country. The architecture is on a stu
pendous scale of magnifcence, and it
can almost be said that no expense has
been spared to create an exposition that
excites the just wonder and admiration
of all who have visited the fair.
All this effort, however, took money.
1t is estimated that between $4,000, 900
and $50, GOO, 900 were needed to produce
tie exposition of 1898, and it is known
that but small part of the sum was
contributed by the government. A far
larger portion was obtained by sub
scriptions from those who held at one
time the hope that the investment
would yield fair return. How baseless
that hope has proven as yet may be
learned from the reports of the auditors.
In spite OF the stories of large attend
AA4OO OlA IL appears
the receipts of the exposition do little
more than suffice TO meet the running
expenses. AS yet there seems to be no
immediate prospect of making any profit
which will serve to reimburse those who
subscribed so largely to the exposition
fund as an investment, and it is to be
supposed that the investors are already
beginning to despair of getting any con-
siderable portion of their original sub
scription back.
Apparently the managers of the fair
already realize that many people who
might otherwise have attended have
been kept from the exposition by causes
which can be remedied. The lack of
free seats and cheap restaurants was a
potent factor in keeping people away,
and it now appears that the old order
of things in that respect is being changed
fol the better. Railroad charges are
still excessive and paevail to keep very
large proportion of people throughout
the United States away from the expo
sition. With grant of reasonable
railroad rates the finances of the fair
may begin to show a better aspect, and
the friends of the exposition should use
every effort to secure reduction of such
rates.

A ranting aggregation of high-scund-
ing words and phrases, false and mis-
leading in every line, have been pro-
mulgated as the platform" of the city
democrats. Its pessimistic construction.
by little ring styling themselves the
city democrats, will be repudiated by
the real followers of that party here.
The city finances are not in such a state
that the 'encumbrance of property
verges on confacation by taxation,' - as
there lugubriously stated. Warrants
are worth 100 cents on the dollar; there
are no bonds out which have to be paid,
and no loan contemplated. Talk about
confscation is rot.

Ir WAS EcoR.
The Briggs Decision Was Too Much for
Pastor and People.

The Briggs Decision was Too Much Tor
Pastor and People.
The sensation OF yesterday, says an
eastern paper, was the stand taken by
Rev. ]. II. Ecob, D. D., pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church in this
city. 1t was known that he sympa-
thized with DIR. Briggs in his recent
treatment by the general assembly, but
it was not not thought he would go so
far as to withdraw from the Presbyter-
ian church. He took that step, and his
church will probably be with him and
act independently hereafter, leaving
open the question of connection with
some other denomination.
In DIR. Ecob's opinion now is the time
for liberal Christians of all churches to
come together. His sermon outlined
the steps that led up to the final action
of the assembly.
"There is no hope," he said, ''of do
ing anything by staying inside of the
Presbyterian church after that act.
The minority was not treated even de-
Gently and the majority is too large to
be overcome within the ranks. Large
as it was, it did not represent the great
majority of the Presbyterians outside
who have no use for a confession of
faith made over 200 years ago."

The Veteran Cavalryman.

Mr.. Thos. Chenevert, the proprietor
Of the North Washington street livery,
has spent much of his life In the saddle
He came to this country from Canada
in 1850, and in 81 joined the United
States regular army, and was in the
service in the west for thirty one years
His first venture was from FIT. Riley
Kans., and he was in every part of the
west, from the first point mentioned
to San Francisco, from TT. Walla Walla,
to Mexico, crossing and reorOssing the
plains, all the time on horseback For
many long years he was not inside of a
railroad car, and only four years ago
he came through from Wyoming to At
lantic with ponies arther than travel
in trains. He became enamoured of
the free outdoor life, WHICH he still
reflects upon with longing. Mr.. Chene.
vert is very genial, companionable
character, and has a rich mine of infor-
nation as to modes and manneriSms
of western life, which he draws upon
modestly and entertainingly upon pro
per occasions. Incidentally while in
the west "rom" learned great deal
about Doodle sock and other comblna-
tions with the paste boards, and could
give Hoyle pointers. A man who has re.
peatedly Travelled the great west natur-
ally feels little cramped when he set
ties down in town of 1000 inhablt-
ants yet Mr.. Chenevert says that he
never met better people or found q bet
ter town than he finds in this unpre,
tentious town of Audubon,

The DecIamatory Contest.

The declamatory contest at the opera
house Friday evening proved to be one
OF the best entertainments of the season,
and was the more enjoyable because it
developed some first class oratorical
ability to the credit of our public
school and the town of Audubon. The
numbers of the dcclamatory program
proper were as follows.
Battle OF Lookout Mountain, $50. Ellis Haruer
Tell on his Native Mountains. j. Irene Croker
Kate Shelly, o..,,.,.,,,....,.....Mam Mamie Baxter
Arnold, the Traitor,,,,.. ..,....,....Chas. Dean
Death Bridge OF the Tay,.,..,,..,.E ya James
The Roman Soldier, ..,,....,...,M ablc Keith
Tossalnt L'oyerture, ,,...,,. Norman Richards
These numbers interpreted by vocal
choruses, rendered by pupils Of the
high school, with Miss Rose Sharp as
leading soprano, and many in the audi
ence,swere happily surprised to learn
that the young lady has remarkably
pretty voice. The entire chorus was
splendid and much enjoyed by all.
Miss Starkey presided as pianist.
Prof. Brinkerholf, OF 0akfeld, Prof.
Johnson, of Extra, and Rev. Parsons,
of the Baptist church, were the judges,
and by comparing notes found that
the silver medal was awarded to Irene
Croker. While there was no question
ing of the judges decision, there were
others favored by the audience, but the
satisfaction was rs general as is usual
in such contests Where all did so we'll
ii was indeed difficult to decide, and
had vote been taken, nearly all com
petitors would have received compli-
ments. There is much in the selection
which finds popular favor in the audi
ence, but Miss Croker did not have
this advantage. The selections by Miss
James and Miss Baxter elected tho
sympathy of the audience, and both
were nicely rendered. But II is both
difficult and dangerous TO particular
ize, and we will only say in all candor
that all acquitted themselves with
great credit and all were complimented
through the audience.
Prof. Hooker Is entitled to much
credit for organizing the contest, and
personally furnishing the medal. 1t
has awakened an interest in the school
which will prove u great benefit and
result In future contests equally pleas
ing, and eventually secure n place for
some of Audubons ambitious young
people In the state contest. The
receipts Of the evening were $3.50.

Odd Fellows Celebrate.

The Audubon Odd Fellows Joined in
q celebration of the seventy.fourth an
niyersary of the organization of their
order by social party, for members
and their wives ut their hall last night.
Although the weather was unproptious,
u large audience was present. There
was u select reading by f. J.. Rees, and
a poem recitation by Mrs. j. w. Rosen-
berg, with musical numbers by Mrs. ID.
l.. Freeman, Mrs. J. W. Rosenberg and
Miss Marie Starkey. w. A. Johnson
and II. Il. Cole eXtcmporized speeches
that were pertinent to the point. A
bountiful banquet was spread, and
when all were fed many baskets full
were left. Ii was highly enjoyable
occasion. The proposition to establish
a Rebecca lodge was revived. Some
time ago such an organization was con-
templated, the charter granted and the
night appointed for organization, but
was defeated by bad weather. They
are now thoroughly In earnest and in
all probability the Rebecca's will soon
be organized into thriving lodge.
The Audubon Odd Fellows are prosper
GUS and active. May their success con-
tinue,

NV Pecan Grove.

In the winter of 1884 or 1885 had near
my saw-mill on Ocean Pond grove of
young orange trees, nearly all of which
were killed by the severe freeze of that
season. This convinced me that the To-
cation was too far North for profitable
orange culture, and having some seed of
the paper shell pecan nut which | had
purchased from Col, J. f. Hart, | de-
termined to try them in the ground.
My purpose was ridiculed, and as far
as any encouragement or help was con-
cerned. my experiment was uphill
work. Col. H. himself having suggested
that my young men had better eat the
nuts as they would never come to any
thing.
But nothing daunted by jokes, sneers
and prophecies of failure, persisted
and the result has fully rewarded my
perseverance.
Having prepared nursery and planted
my seed [ set them out, and now from
those very nuts have many tress between
thirty and forty feet high and of equal
extent in lateral spread of limbs casting
a fine shade,
Encouraged by success so far | am
this year preparing land to plant eighty
acres in pecan trees, although l am
seventy years old.
The pecan will thrive on any land
which is good for corn or cotton, and |
can show trees on common pine soil as
large and thrifty for their age as any
grown on high or hickory land.

of production because of their abundant
WELD AS a home land in every sober
practical sense of the word, Florida is
yet only in her infancy as it were, quite
truly speaking only in her early youth
fulness, and much remains yet to be
learned.
Five years ago it was hardly known
that Florida had a fertiliZing element
worth naming within it's borders, and
now it is we'll known that here can be
found the largest quantity Of rich phos-
pilates ever yet discovered. A friend of
the writer who was formerly a farmer in
Illinois tells me that he can grow as good
corn and as much per acre here in Put
nam county where he now lives as he
ever grew in Illinois. 1t must not be
presumed that all parts of Florida are
capable of growing the same products
equally as WE'LL for this is by no means
the case, lemons, lines, bananas, guavas,
pineapples, cOcoanuts and manages will
not grow in the more northern part of
the State, and likewise some CROPS and
fruits doing we'll in the more northern
part will not thrive in the southern part.
But all in all, Florida as a home land
presents inducements of a substantial
kind and manifold in number as we'll as
enjoyable in character. F. A. BOYCE
