LINDA. i'm Avon park. Florid,

Editor CLARIoN-I know the first
question my friends would ask is, "How
are you pleased with this new town OF
Florida?" And / am ready to answer
without hesitancy--delighted.
To describe the place is to call it a
model community, located in the midst
of a high pine woods, surrounded and
intersected with lovely lakes of clear
fresh water. The place is very new
only been building for the past few
years, and only a slow, steady growth
and no boom. The Florida Develop
ment Co. own this thirty-six square
acres of land, all high pine land and it
is their intent and purpose to make it a
citrous fruit garden, each family own
ing their home and grove OF one, two,
five, ten or more acres. The groves in
this short time look too inviting; there
are groves of lemons, orange and lines,
the trees ladened with the fruit, all be-
ginning to ripen into their golden tints.
These groves are from three to five
years old.
Up to date there are l25 families colo
nized here, all eontented and happy ov-
er their future outlook. New buildings
are going up in every direction, and car
penters wages are good. The hotel Is
large and comfortable and very home
like: it is built on Lake Verona, and ter
raced down to the waters edge, where
YOU find the boats and bath-houses,
which are free to the use and enjoyment
of the guests.
NY stay here is one of rest and pleas
ure. / am enjoying everything, and find
the climate all that one could desire; !;
the air is pure and the breeze always
cool and refreshing. The evenings are
just perfect ones; first we watch the sun
set, which is always grand; and then II
seems that the moon and stars shine
with Il softer and mellower light than
elsewhere.
The people of Avon Park all seem to
be thrifty and full of enterprise; and
you meet them from all the States OF
the North, West and East-but / don't
think ] have yet met anyone from the
South.
Since have been here Mother Supe-
rior of one of the schools in Texas has
been here and spent few days. While
here she bought q ten acre tract of land,
and left a contract to have part cleared
and planted this season.
The people here have q nice school,
(which will open Oct. 1sH and such
lovely little church-a Union Congre-
gational-and at every service it is fill
ed. Sunday school is we'll attended by
old and young, and the singing is fine
in both Sunday school and church. The
choir render fine selections for their Of
fentary and anthem singing.
And oh one great comfort find here
there is no liquor and not q people who
desire liquor, no idlers and no negroes;
and YOU cannot realize how pure it
seems to breathe the atmosphere, which
is free from advice and evils.
/ shall soon be with my friends again,
and my next writing will be to tell of
my return trip. LINDA.

The Greatest Of Penal Colonies.

4 few weeks ago a convict at Port Blair,
In the AndamAn Islands. rushed upon Col
HoRsFoRD with an axe. cut on two fingers
OF his left hand. and wounded him In the
head before he could be disarmed Col
HoRsFoRD. who Is the Chief Commissioner
OF the islands. has since been reported as
out OF danger.
Thirteen thousand conviets arc living at
Port Blair. which is probAbly the largest
penal settlement in the world. The Anda-
man Islands are m the Bay OF Bengal. and
TO Port Blair Is sent the refuse Of 10000. 900
people. The worst criminals OF British
India and Burma. il they incur long SEN
tences Of Imprisonment. are sent TO Port
Blair. over 5000 Of them are serving life
sentences. The attack upon the chief Off
elal OF the islands is all the more note
worthy because. since the settlement OF
Port Blair Was started in 1857. with the
mutinOus sepOys as the first colonists.
there have been only two murderous as
saults on Europeans By eonviets and yet To
guard this army OF evildoers only one COM
pany OF British infantry and several hun
dred Puniab police are employed. a very
small force when Il Is considered that there
are no prison walls. and that the convict
barracks are scattered all over the settle
ment. which is several miles square.
The hundred OF more boats and canoes
required for the work Of the settlement are
far more carefully guarded than the pris-
oners themselves. There Is no chance 70
escape. except by capturing these boats.

ton would go on until the descendants OF

ence proceeds along the lines Of intrigue
and underground attack rather than
OF open and defiant rape. The same
duty Of protection exists in the one case
as in the other. There is vastly more proba-

preventing the foreign intervention which
the United States Government has declafed

guardianship which this country has as
sumed can be exercised under present con-

only partial success. A thousand compli-
cations are sure TO arise. for our position is
one Of full responsibility without recognized
power. The danger OF being drawn into
trouble with another nation on account Of
Hawaii. is infinitely greater now than 1t

Who VIII Press the Button ?

Some OF our anti-snap. State aid. or cuckoo
Democratic friends-they are variously des-
ignated-appear 10 be much distressed by
reason OF the reluctance or inability OF their
Chairman. Mr.. {. s. FAIBcHILD. to appoint
sub-committees of the original ll3. The
continued illness of Mr.. FAIRcHILD. as
a bulletin sent out from the William
street headquarters declares. is seriously
delaying the operations OF the anti-snabper
Democracy. As Chairman OF the General
Committee. Mr.. FAIRcHILD must name the
important subcommittee provided for at
the meeting held at the Reform Club last
week. Until these committees get to work
nothing cen be done toward putting the
organization into shape. Some OF the anti
snapper leaders, 1t appears. went to OSWALD
OTTESDoRPEg, the First Yice-Chairman. to
persuade him to name at least the sub
committees on finance and permanent
headquarters; but Mr. OrTESDoRPER re-
piled that his health was about az bad as
Chairman FAIRCHILDs. anu that until he
became much better. he would not attempt
to transact such delicate business.
A number Of RowDEDow GRACE's friends,
the Tribune says. who are looking for
Government pie fear that the delay in
putting the New York State Democracy in
fighting condition may prevent the recog-
milton which they expect in the way Of Fed
eral Offices when the President returns
from his duck shooting.
II such are really the facts. IL only
Mr.. FAIRCHILD's neglect to appoint sub
committees on finance and headquarters
stands between the anti-snappers, and
their Official recognition by Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND. the delay OF the Chairman is
certainly as exasperating as It is inoppor-
tune. That Mr. OrTESDoRFER, the persist
ent and consistent foe OF all political ma
chimes. is not willing to sully his record and
furl his colors by starting the wheels OF this
