uYsL.OP NOT SURPRISED

John Hysop. the measurer or the ew-1orK
Yacht Club said that he was not at all sur
nrised to hear of the withdrawal Of the Rose
challenge In fact" said Mr.. Hyslop. Mr.
Rose outlined his intentions when he said In the
interview a day or two ago that he would not
hujld a boat TO come here If he found that Lord
Dunraven disliked his having issued chal-
Ienge | am inclined TO believe that Mr.. Roses
main motive in withdrawing his challenge was
the one which he gives in his cable Then, too:
I believe his friends got hold Of him and told
hin, that he would have no chance 10 win. How
is a man who has never shown any particular
ATTITUDE for a complicated sport Ike yachting
going to beat boat like the Defender and

remarkable like Soper turn the tables on such

THE CHIMES WERE STILL.
Not a Sound from Grace Church to
Welcome the New Year.

On many New Years eve, with the
weird changing of bells and droning of
sonorous shop whistles, the old chimes up
in the tower of Christ Church on Monu-
ment place have pealed out a religious well
come, and in turn patriotic welcome to
the new year. "Old Hundred" and praise
God, from Whom Ali Blessings Flow have
always sounded silvery and musically above
the din, and many a man, rounding out
the old year with dissipation which he
would vainly attempt to abandon on the
morrow, has been startled and his heart
touched by the chimes. Then, when 'Ameri-
ca sounded out on the rare. still air, per-
haps he felt thrill, deeper and more over
whelming than any ever awakened by the
shrill of the clarion or the sound of the
MARTA fife. Up in the old tower are the
ghosts of many joyous New Years chimes.
but last night, when the dying year slipped
away, there was haunting stiffness to the
little church on the corner. Not a. leaf of
the dead vines that Chamber so picturesque
ly up, up to the pinnacle, quivered, not
rustic was there in the vines from the vibra-
tons of the old chimes Had the sexton
forgotten suspicious event as the
birth of a year?
The hands of the courthouse clock had
met at the crown of the dial and on every
side the welkin was disturbed with the
strange noises. No one is late in beginning
a noise the very first minute or year, but
sweet music in a chorus of uncanny dis
cord, was not there to lead. Five minutes
went by and whistles that had grown
hoarse in their endeavor, passed to huski-
ness, but still the music was unheard. The
last screech died away and the stiffness
of the night became intense, so still that
the little rim of moon in the far West
sunk beyond the Statehouse silhouette, to
leave the quietude and the darkness to go
hand in hand. So all through the night
the little church was alone in it's solitude
and it's gloom
There was another house of gloom in the
city last night, and those two had q com
mon respect for one who was dead. Often
times had the beloved Bishop listened to
the information from the tower, voices of
joy, voices of gladness and sometimes
voices of sadness. He, too, had heard 'Old
Hundred and America many a time
bid the old farewell and the new, a happy
welcome. There is much of the Significance
of a Christians death in this thing of OBJ
serving the turning point of year. The
passing of a life that has been, is pitifully
insignificant, compared to the birth of a
life to be as the Prince of Peace has prom
Used. So it is with the years; only a touch
OF sadness for the year that has gone.
For the first time, in many years at least,
have the chimes of Christ Church failed
to ring on New Years eve. The sexton was
at his post earlier in the evening. however
slowly tolling the sixtytwo years in which
Bishop Knickerbacker had lived to do so
much good in the world

BULLING THE ORANGE MARKET.
100000 Boxes of Florida Fruit Said
to Have Been Frozen.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 31.-The mer-
curry went down TO fourteen degrees sabove
zero at the signal station in this city just
before sunrise this morning, this record
being one degree colder than the tempera-
ture during the great freeze of 1886 and the
lowest since 1885. The thermometer at the
station is one hundred feet
above the ground and the surface read
ingS about town average from one
to three degrees lower. Reports from Titus
Vile, Tampa, Ocala, Gainesville, Palatka
and Sanford indicate that the mercury
dropped to about eighteen above zero in
those localities. The orange and vegetable
crops are practically ruined The best esti-
mates place the number of oranges at pres
ent on trees at fully $500 900 boxes, and the
officials OF the Florida Fruit Exchange, in
this city, think fully two million boxes have
been frozen, either wholly or partially: II
this estimate is correct the remaining 100000
boxes will bring fabulous prices. These re-
ports cannot be verified at present, but the
best informed fruit men say, The jig is
up with the orange crop of 1854. Ice
formed on the streets OF Jacksonville and in
shallow places about the docks.
A dispatch from Pensacola says: Parties
froiR over the bay report that the beach
is covered with large quantities OF frozen
fish, driven UP by the strong north wind of
Friday and Saturday. Experienced fruit
growers do not think that the orange trees
in this section were KILLED by the freeze,
as the weather had been so dry they con-
tanned but little sap. Satsuma orange trees
do not appear to have suffered. The weat
er moderated yesterday and the first heavy
rain for many weeks fell last night An
other cold wave is advancing and 1T is
feared that it will do much damage.
