NOT A WHITE CITIZEN,
A Florida Town Wholly Owned and Co
frolIad hu Colorod Poo,Io

A Florida Town Wholly Owned and Com
trolIed by Colored People.
Eatonvi1le, Fla, is a place wherein
no white person lives, an Incorporated
city owned, inhabited and governed
exclusively by negroes, with a colored
mayor and colored officers throughout.
1t is said to be, says the New York Sun,
the only incorporated place inhabited
and governed wholly by colored per-
sons in this country, and it is as law
abiding a place as can be found in
Florida.
I'VE have a lookup here" said the
colored postmaster and ex-mayor, J. E.
Clark, "but it's the idlest building in
the place. 1t is hardly used twice a
| year, for we have no saloons nor low
places of any kind, and, as nearly every
man owns his own home, we all have a
personal interest in preserving order"
Although Eatonville is a city in law
and in name, having received a city
charter from the legislature, with
power to make and enforce its own
laws, it is, in fact, a pretty little village
of three or our hundred inhabitants,
lying at the head of Lake Sybclia, in
the center of Orange county, one mile
from the railroad station at Maitland.
No colored people live in Maitland and
no white ones at Eatonville. There is
the best of feeling between the two
places. Maitland has work, and Eaton
vile has men and women to do it.
No place in Florida has more of a
West Indian appearance than Eaton
vile. All the traffic on wheels is done
on two or three of the principal streets,
and the others are perpetually green
with a beautiful carpet of Bermuda
grass. These walks are lined with rows
of white oaks, which make of every lane
and avenue a shady bower from the be-
ginning of January till the last of De-
cember. The houses are all of wood
and generally small, but every house
stands in its own little grounds, with
flowers blooming in front, and bananas,
oranges, lines, lemons, pawpaws,
guavas and other southern fruits bios
soning or fruiting, and in the rear a
vegetable garden that produces food at
least ten months of the year. Close to
the head of the lake stands the African
Methodist Episcopal and Baptist
churches, and in the center of the town
is the public school, with it's colored
teacher and forty or fifty pupils. The
free masons and odd fellows have their
own halls, and there is a labor aid
society. John Heiston is the present
mayor, and the city limits include just
III square mile.

A KISS HIS

A kiss played an important
part in the life of the famous
Belgian statesman, Frere-Orban,
who is now seriously i'll, at his
country place. In his youth the
future minister was a poor
student, bearing the simple
Frere. He had great difficulty
in earning enough money to
keep him at the university till
he was ready to pass his exam
nation in the department of
law.
The young man fell in love with
a Fraulein Orban, the daughter
of a wealthy and aristocratic
family, who opposed his suit.
elf You pass your examination
well Tomorrow" said Fraulein
Orban, on the eve of the trial
to her lover. "come to the thea~
ter and to the box in which I
shall be sitting with my par
ents."
"Will they allow me?" asked
the student.
Il shall see to that" was the
determined young women's an
swer.
Frere was successful, and en-,
tered the box in the evening.
happy but frightened. The
pretty girl, as soon as he had
crossed the threshold, stood up,
rushed towards him before a
word was spoken, and kissed him
heartily on the lips. The aston
ished parents we're soon inform
ed of the significance of the kiss
by the daughter. AS many
other people had seen the young
girls action, the parents decided
TO make the best of it, and ac
cepted young Frere as a son-in-
law on condition that he add
Orban to his name. This he did
as a matter of course and made
it famous.

A Recipe Given for the Benefit of Blood
thirsty Boys.
Jack now took off his blue flannel
jumper n overall trousers, fxed them
artistically together and stuffed them
out with the coarse grass growing'every-
where around US. Then he held the
dummy beyond the edge Of a bowlder
in such a way as to look as if the bulge
of his own body were protruding, says
Lippincott's Magazine.
The old, old ruse succeeded admir-
ably, for instantly there came from the
cover, about thirty yards away, a hurt
ling shower of arrows; and as soon as
Tom and l had fred our decoy shots a
squad Of ~hideously painted Apaches
sprang up, and with uplifted toma-
hawks and terrific yells, rushed toward
US. But not for far.
"Now, boys!" shouted Jack, and at
the crack of our rifles the three fore
most braves went headlong down.
For a few seconds the others stood
bewildered, and then, as one after an
other dropped under the storm of re
volver bullets, fired SO rapidly as to
seem like the work of a dozen enemies,
the surviving warriors darted off to
their ponies and scurried away.

TREATMENT OF SUNsTROkE.
New Electrical Device by Which Patients
Arc Easily Handled.

Ne" electrical beVlCe Dy n1Cn fRL1enU6
Are Easily Handled
Of late treatment IN sunstroke cases
has altered materially. The old treat
ment included warm drinks and hot
applications to the body, with a view of
drawing the heat from the head, as we'll
as iced applications to the head. Now,
says the New York Sun, the patient is
immersed in very cold water and kept
SO until the abnormal temperature de-
~creases. Some remarkable cures have
been effected by this method of treat
ment. The new apparatus is designed
for the transfer of the patient to the
bath. 1t is worked entirely by cleo
tricitv. A sort of hammock suspended,
not from the ends, but from the sides
between iron bars, is the receptacle for
the sufferer. The end OF this hammock
at which the head lies is higher than
| the other end. The bars are suspended
by chains from wheeltrucks overhead,
running on tracks, and both the motion
backward and forward of the trucks
and the raising or depressing of the
hammock by means of the chain are
controlled by the electric apparatus.
On the entrance of the patient the
hammock is lowered and he is gently

of the motor wheel lifts him, and
another turn sends him moving along
until he is directly over a tub contain
ing water iced to the desired tenpera-
ture. Then the machinery lowers him
slowly into the tub until only his face
remains above the water. Ice is packed
around his head, and he is left there
until his temperature is lowered to a
point where it is deemed safe to take
him out. Then the machinery gently
lifts him again and transfers him to a
| pallet at the side of the room. If a Sec
ond iced bath is not necessary the pa
tient is then removed to one of the adj
Joining wards. This method of hand
ling is not only attended with less jar
ring to the patient than any other, but
it also saves the doctors and nurses
much exhaustive work, particularly in
the case of heavy patients. The appa
ratus was designed by DIR. Lewis A.
Stimson, attending surgeon to the
House of Relief.

GoLDsBoRo's TOBACCO WAREHOUSE

OOLDS1SoHo >
1t Should BE Advertised: A Special Issue
of The Argus.
The tobacco warehouse is pro
crossing finely and will soon be
ready for business. but what will
be the use unless the farmers
+ informed when it is to be
opened and requested to bring
their tobacco here. The sole
use of the warehouse is for the
sale of tobacco, then the main
object is to get the greatest
quantity of tobacco on this mar
ket possible, and there is no better
way to do this than by telling the
people of it in some way, and we
would suggest that the people OF
the town, the enterprizing busl>
ness men of the place put their
heads and shoulders together,
and get up a special issue of the
ARGUS to be issued next Thurs
day week; the same issue an
swering for the daily and weekly.
and advertise the warehouse and
the day on which it will open,
which will be on the 18th OF
Sept, in order that the people in
the country may hear and talk
of the tobacco break, that IS
to be in Goldsboro and will pre-
pare to bring their tobacco here
and at the same time prevent
them from hailing it 30 or 30
miles to other towns. We would
suggest at the same time that
each BUSINESS man in the town
put in an advertisement in order
to advertise his business, his
town and the warehouse which
means a great deal to every citi-
e here. And at the same
time help pay the expense OF
the special issue of the
ARGUS. Now the advertising of
the ware house is very impor-
tant and a picture Of the ware
house two-thirds finished can be
taken, and a cut made from it,
which will look very we'll.
In the same issue the history
of the lot upon which the ware
house is built can be given, con
corning the cork oak tree which
stood there brought here oy Col,
Tom Ruffin while congressman,
which had been given him by Mr..
Sanders, our minister to Spain
at that time, and many other
things of interest a be written
up.
Let US talk about ware
house and our town, and our
people, and let strangers see that
we are proud Of Goldsboro, and
we intend to have a tobacco
market here, and we assure you
that success will surely follow.
Now if we are to have a special
issue, let US go at it at once. We
would be glad to hear from any
ono ~ +hic motion

A Bull Fight.

Gillette, Colo, Aug. 24.-Two
sleek Hereford bulls were slaugh-
tered in the big arena here this
afternoon before the large au
dience that had assembled to
witness a programme Of sports,
the nature of which they were
not fully informed of IN ad-
vance. They saw a genuine
bull fight, out were not
very highly editied, nor were
they pleased with the spectacle.
They probably admired more the
nerve of Manager Wolfe, who
pulled off the fight in the face of
the sheriff and the AdjutantGen-
eral Of Colorado who were pres
ent to prevent the fight. After the
performance, a constable ar
rested Wolfe and his associates
and escorted them to Cripple
Greek to be tried before a Justice
of the peace, but really to pre-
vent Sheriff Bowers from making
an arrest and carrying them of
on the night train to Colorado
Springs.

A Wonderful Woman.

The distinguished Miss Kate Field is in the midst of us. The Victoria hotel is harboring her for a day or two. She is in vigorous health and in high spirits; she is as full of fight as a Kilkenny cat
 Miss Field is on her way to Hawaii. She has been invited by ex-Queen Liliou- lxalani to visit the Pacific islands and to write a series of letters in the interest of dethroned royalty. The ex-queen met Miss Field In Washington few years ago, and was charmed by the force and brilliancy of her intellectual qualities. that time her majesty desired to con fer upon the famous woman journalist the decoration of the Sacred Palm, the highest honor in the gift of Hawaiian royalty to a foreigner, but Miss Field, conforming to | rule adopted early in her career, declined the proffered decoration.
 After the downfall of Liliuokalani the ex-queen opened up a correspondence with her Washington friend and we un- derstand that Miss Fields journey to Hawaii at this time is undertaken at the solicitation of her majesty. It is likely that the attention of congress will be in- vited next winter to a consideration or Hawaiian affairs, and it is clearly Elk Queen Liliuokalani'S wish to have her side of the case presented forcibly and elegantly. She could hardly have en- listed the sympathy and services or an abler advocate than Kate Field will prove.
 MISS f1eld speaks lHe IldN iai- guage with comparative fluency She will translate her letters into the native tongue and distribute them in brochure form among the folks of Hawaii, thus working up a favorable popular senti- ment at home, while her correspondence sent back to this country will do good missionary work here.
 Miss Field has secured from our gen. erous townsman, MT Charles l.. Hutch inson, a gift of the historic fort in which old John Brown exploited his picturesque fanaticism nearly forty years ago. It is her intention to remove this building and erect it upon the site at Harpers Ferry, where it originally stood. But as con siderable period must necessarily elapse before this plan can be executed, 1t has been suggested that Miss Field take the fort with her to Hawaii to serve at one and the same time as residence and as a defense against any hostility of which the revolutionists in that island may conceive,

THE WORK IS BRauN.

The Age-Herald desires to congratu- late the retail committee of the Conner cial Club on the enthusiasm and spirit of conservatism which characterized it's meeting yesterday afternoon.
 The club has taken up delicate and difficult matter. The satisfactory adjust ment of the conditions which surround the retail trade of this district cannot be effected without the exercise of tact and diplomacy. It must be done with ab- solute fairness. The growth of the retail trade is inseparable with the general prosperity of the district. Every conflict ing interest must be taken into considera- tion. It will not do to jump at conclu- sions. Thorough, impartial investigation must precede every step. Prejudice should be allowed no voice. The interest of every man, great or small, who has a dollar invested in any legitimate busi ness or enterprise, must be kept in view. Injury must be done to none, justice rem dered to all.
 The Age-Herald has absolute conf- dence in the ability of the Commercial Club to prosecute it's undertaking to successful issue. It is the only means through which the end can be reached, and it should have the cooperation of every man who has the interest of Bir- mingham at heart.
