express the juice, which after straining,
place in any convenient vessel on the
stove and heat to scalding point then
place into bottles and tightly cork the
latter, tying the corks down with strong
Irvine; wait twenty-four hours, then
place the filed bottles in vessel contain
ing cold water. Place the vessel con-
tanning the filed bottles on the stove and
let the water come to boil, when the
bottles should be removed. They are
now ready to store away, and in short
time you will have as delicious spark
ling cider as any made from the choice
est apples. Self-sealing jars will answer
as we'll as bottles.
ORANGE JELLY.
Peel the oranges and run them through
fruit press, if you have one; if not, cut
the oranges in two crosswise and rub
the juice and pulp through sieve. A
lemon squeezer or any device of that
sort will not do, as the pulp must be
taken with the juice. Ii you have two
quarts of juice and pulp, cook it down
to three pints, then add sugar and treat
as any other jelly. Of course it is under
stood that as little as possible of the
white portion of the orange will be al
lowed in it, as that makes it bitter.
The jelly glasses should be kept dark by
wrapping in paper.-St. Francis Facts.

Why, Indeed2
Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Why is it the railroad, will not gi i've
us living rate on peaches?
If we had an acre or two in peaches
and could get as good a rate as they do
in California, it would help us out of
our present calamity.
A Chicago commission man told me
tn at the rate from California to Chicago
on crate g pecks) of peaches was
81 cents. Last spring a friend Of mine
living at Lady Lake shipped four crates
of peaches to Reddeld Son, which sold
for $16. He got 81, the railroad took the
rest.
See if you cannot stir them up to give
us a rate then we will plant the trees.

To Measure an Acre.

Editor Florida AgricuIturist:
Approaching your effort to help the
farmer measure an acre of ground let
me say that more satisfactory way,
in that 1t gives square acre, is to meas
ure 2O9 feet, inches and you have one
side of square acre, almost exactly.

FOR SOME WESTERN MAN,
Crisp Speaks of the Next
Choice of the Democrats
for President.
At the Same Time He Sets Forth
His Views on the Silver
Question.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April PA spe-
cial to the Times from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Speaker Crisp, who is at his home in
Americas, in an interview with CORE
spondent to-day, declared for the free
coinage of silver, and gave it as his opin-
ion that the Democrats should nominate a
Western man for the Presidency. In the
course of the interview, which is quite
lengthy, Mr.. Crisp says, among other
things:
"There should never have been any
doubt as to my position on this question.
/ made speech for free silver ten years
ago, before anybody but politicians had
considered it. / stand to what l then said
and have never varied.
''The disposition of the tariff clears the
way for the settlement of the silver ques-
ton. That question is now fully before us. u
"Will it be the issue before the people
next year?''
at will, said he; "and in such way
that it must be settled directly-not by
subterfuge or evasion, but openly, SO the
people may understand it. The majority
of American people in both political parties
are in favor of the restoration of the free
coinage of silver. They are to-day behind
the free silver movement, and will push it
on to success and have free silver re-
established to it's old equality with gold
"In the next campaign the rehabilitation
Of silver will be the main and controlling
issue upon which the Democracy will ap-
peal to the people. The platform to be
adopted in 1896 should declare for the free
coinage of silver direct with a set of princi-
pies responding to the demands of the
common people. We should select good
man with a record identified with
the nominal sentiment that now controls
the party. The only fear I have is not
that people are not in favor of free silver,
but that the free silver people, who are in
the majority, may divide into factions.
81 am" concluded Mr. Crisp, sin favor
of the free coinage of silver, as 1 have
always been, and the Democratic voters
will declare for it next year. The talk of
Mr.. Cleveland for third term, under any
conditions, has no basis. The people will
not make that break in the record. His
views on the financial question are not
shared by the people"

RATION OF SAILORS,
No Reason for the Many
Complaints Made
Lately.
JACK rs VERY WELL FED.
Stories of lnsufficiency Are
Started by Those Deprived
of Pickings.
MANY FARE WORSE ON SHORE.
Naval Supplies Fixed by Congress
and Cannot Be Changed by
Any Officer.
JACK rs VERY WELL FED.
MANY FARE WORSE ON SHORE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 27.-The
officials of the Navy Department are net
tied by the frequent severe criticisms upon
the insufficiency of the naval rations
which emanate from the Pacific Coast
ports.
The Secretary has no hesitation
in ascribing them to the bum boat"
men and the keepers of shops patronized
by sailors who have been deprived of
handsome ''pickings' from the sailors, by
the enforcement of the order limiting the
the number of rations in a mess that may
be committed or turned into cash by the
sailors ana spent ashore.
The naval ration is fixed by an act of
Congress and it is not within the power of
any man, even of the Secretary of the
Navy, to change it, either by in
crease or diminution. The naval
officers assert that it is the most lib
eral of any furnished to the sailors of
the naval powers and that vast majority
of the people of America are not as well
supplied with good wholesome food as are
our sailors. The ration as fixed by the law
includes the following staples, all, it is
said, in sufficient quantity for any person
Bread, flour, pork, beef preserved meat,
beans, peas, rice, dried fruits, butter, toma-
toes, coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar, pickles,
melasses, vinegar, fresh meat and vege-
tables.
When within reach of market, the law
is so construed as to permit a wide
range of foods under these general heads.
For instance, the sailor may have fresh
bread or biscuit, under the head of -four.
He may have cornmeal, hominy, oatmeal,
rye and cracked wheat
If he tires of beef and pork he may try
mutton, veal and poultry, or be can turn
to canned beef and mutton, ham, bacon,
sausage and fish.
Any kind of fresh vegetables the market
affords may go on the mess table, and for
dessert he can fall back on dried apples,
peaches, raisins, currants, prunes, figs and
dates.
But the sailor who still has an ungrati-
fed appetite may indulge it, for in every
mess of twenty-four persons six rations
may be committed each day, involving
81 50, which may be applied to the pur-
chase of luxuries.
No distinction in persons is made in the
issue of naval rations, and the admiral
commanding the feet receives the same
rations, no more nor less, than the young
est apprentice aboard ship receives, and
can receive only the same Communication for
each ration.
The food supplied the ship from the
market must be carefully inspected when
brought aboard the ship, and to insure
good quality and good cookery the captain
tastes sample of eacn meat cooked for the
men.
No one can withhold the full ration from
a sailor, and he has simply to go to ''the
mast" to have complaint entered, and if
he persists a board of three officers must
be appointed to inquire into it and see that
the law is complied with.

ATTITUDE OF GRESHAM.
Satisfied That England Hill Not Perma
nentIy Occupy Nicaragua.

Satisfied That England Viii Not Perma-
r,entFy Occupy Nicaragua.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 27.-Three
days ago Secretary Gresham stated to an
intimate friend that England's claim
against Nicaragua was just one, and that
the United States Government would not
interfere. He said that this Government
had a perfect understanding with Great
Britain, and that the latter had agreed to
retire its troops from Nicaragua as soon as
the $75, 900 was collected.
AT this time Secretary Gresham believed
and stated his belief that the Nicaraguans
would pay the indemnity, though they
might have to borrow the money to do SO.
1t is ridiculous fact that they have not
enough money in the treasury to pay the
claim, were they willing to do so. Secre-
ary Gresham further stated that the
United States had purposely kept its war
ships away from Corinto, so as not to be-
0me involved in the quarrel. At the
same time it was deemed expedient to have
one vessel stationed within a few days sail
q Corinto to be ready in an emergency,
AID the Monterey was ordered to Callao.
Mr.. Gresham stated his belief that Great
Bitain would keep her promise not to
Permanently occupy Nicaraguan territory.
II view of these circumstances the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet have not been worry
ing over Nicaraguan affairs, for they have
trouble enough in store for the future in
dealing with the Venezuelan matter. From
the statements made by Secretary Gresham
to this friend he regards the Venezuelan
controversy as very serious matter. He
announced positively that this Government
would not tolerate the occupancy or acqui-
sitiel of one foot of Venezuelan territory
by the British, and that full instructions
had been sent to ambassador Bayard.
Secretary Gresham intimated that the
expectation of serious trouble over Ven
ezuela was one reason why the United
States would not interfere in the Nicara-
guam imbroglio. He said this Government
wished to avoid being placed in a NEEDLE
some or presumptuous attitude in affairs
between Great Britain and South Ameri-
can countries, especially when there was
at least some warrant for the formers de-
mands ior indemnity against Nicaragua.

GOES DOWN IN THE LAKE,
Foundering and Sinking OF
the Steamer Sadie
Shepard.
Two of the Crew Deserted In the
Rush to Escape and One
Is Lost.

TOLEDO, OHIO, April 27.-The small
steamer Sadie Shepard of Port Huron
foundered and sank five miles northeast
by east of Turtle light, just outside of
Maumes Bay, this afternoon. The vessel
had load of salt from Marine City to
Toledo, and carried crew of seven men.
1t is thought that they are all safe ex-
cept one man, who is not yet accounted
for. There have been heavy winds on
Lake Erie for two days, and the Sadie
Shepard had very rough passage across
the head of the lake.
While about half way between Monroe
and Turtle light her machinery broke
down, and shortly afterward she was
swamped by the heavy sea.
The first news of the wreck was received
here in the shape of message from Vien-
ma, Mich, signed by the captain of the
vessel and asking for help to be sent into
the lake, as there were still two men on
board. The tug Roy was sent out and
found the engineer, Albert Hamlin, float
ing on the deckhouse and nearly exhausted
by cold and exposure.
Hamlin was in such mental state that
he was not able to give very coherent ac-
count of what happened, further as to the
vessel. He says that the captain and four
of the crew left the sinking craft in the
yawl, but does not explain why all of the
men were not taken and he and a seaman
named Elmer Brown left on board.
Brown put on life-preserver and
jumped overheard, and it is feared that he
was drowned. 1t is presumed that the
men who left the wreck in the yawl were
saved though nothing definite has yet
been learned from Vienna. The Sheppard
is lying in about twenty-five feet of water.

HURLED FROM A PRECIPICE.
A Ledge of Rock Gives Way and Causes
Several Deaths.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April pa special
to the World from Cochocton, N. Y, says:
John Rich, Sydney Burns, Annie Mitchell,
Irene Tempest and Lora Long were stand
ing on ledge of rock 800 feet high, which
overhung the park little to the eastward
of here, last night. Four feet from the
outer edge of the rock was a horizontal
crack which the Oldest inhabitants say has
always been there, and which no one
thought rendered the ledge insecure.
The five young people felt the ledge CIV
ing way under their feet and tried to get
of. but were too late. Irene Tempest man
aged to grasp the edge of a solid remnant
of the rock and hung there for thirty min
utes until help could reach her. The
others were dead when the inhabitants
reached the spot. Rich was impaled to the
limb of tree seventy-fve feet from the
ground
One huge fragment of the rock rolled
upon the tracks of the Erie Railway just
after the Buffa 10 express passed.

Great Britain inf1icts upon her by the military
occupation of the port of Corinto, in order to
seize from her by force sum of money which is
not owed in absolute disregard of interna-
tional laws and of the dictates of right,
justice and equity. Nicaragua, although
counting upon the sympathy Of all, as she is
powerless to oppose the oppressor, is ready to
submit the case without fear, bewailing her
smallness and her weakness.
