 quarters at Jacksonville, Fla.
 Florida has a new and remarkable industry, the artificial propagation of alligators. For supplying the trade in Florida curiosities there is large de- mand for young reptiles of this kind. h Jacksonville, which is the center of the traffic, from 5000 to 10000 alli- gators are sold to tourists annually nearly all of them baby ones. The latter are collected by professional hunters, who receive for them from $20 to $25 hundred Some of them are disposed of alive at retail, but many are stuffed An infant alligator stuffed is worth 25 cents more than q live one. Saurians 6 to 12 feet long fetch $12 to $25.
 The difficulty of securing young alli- gators i'll sufficient numbers has led to the establishment of this strange busi- ness. To find the nests of these reptiles is comparatively easy, and the eggs are shipped in bulk by the hunters to Jacksonville. In that city there are 12 dealers ill alligators, the best known of them being Q man who has earned the sobriquet of Alligator Davis. New York World

Longest Land Telegraph.

A remarkable feat in telegraphy was recently performed in Australia when the land lines between Broome, ill West Australia, and Rockhampton, i'll Queens land, were joined and direct messages were conveyed between the two places. which are 6,275 miles apart. Automatic repeaters were used, and these were placed at nine stations. The wires en circled nearly two thirds of the Austra- liam continent, and this is believed to be the longest land telegraph connection that has ever been worked.

 hIe Era of Construction.

hle Era of Construction
 4 published review of the recent rail- way projects and new concessions says that the country is entering upon an active era of railway construction simi- lar to that which began II years ago, when Mexico was exceedingly prosper ous
 The Mexican Central will build direct line to Tampico, giving the City of Mexico short line to the best gulf ports. Collis P Huntington has planned to build his line to Mazatlan by route farther north than he first contemplated, and the government has assurances from him that he means bus mess.
 Hampson will push his Cuernavaca road down to that tropical city, and ex- poets to get there in eight months. Dalfin Sanchez telegraphs from London that he has assurances of obtaining the capital needed to extend the Interoceanie road to Acapulco.
 Another important line is announced from the Tehuantepec road to a point on the San Juan river, in the state of Vera Cruz, whence the river is nayiga- ble.
 The department of communications is full of business and the authorities say that all the new railway projects are ill the hands of responsible capital ists and will be realized
 The government is also giving great attention to plans for inland waterways, especially canals. A project for a very extensive canal on the west coast will be made public i'll few days
 Waits Industrial railway continues to attract attention and will solve sev- eral interesting problems. Street ear lines are being pushed forward, and when electric power is made feasible there will be a broad field for their operation. New York Journal.

RICHMOND As m = PLACE OF RE
INION.

Richmond heard with sincere joy that
the Confederate Veterans had selected
her as the place for their next annual
reunion 1t was fitting that this should
Doe done. Richm0nd was the heart of
the Confederacy while it existed; She
mourned its decease as deeply as child
ever mourned a parents death, and her
heart is to-day as true TO all its memo
rics. and to all that the Confederacy rep
resented, as it ever was in the most
hopeful day Of its existence. Two rea-
sons make it. therefore, a matter Of
eminent propriety that Richmond should
Dee selected as a place for the meeting of
the Survivors of the Confederate army.
Richmond. as the capital Of the Confed-
cracy. is the place where the Confederate
survivors should meet. and Richmond is
the place because she is essentially the
representative Of Confederate sentiment
and feeling.
Richmond viii c.vc the survivors Of the
Confederate armies % hearty handshake
and sincere welcome. Many of them
were here in tho days that tried mems
souls. and we shall Doe glad 20 see them
again We shall just as cordially greet
those who were never here before.
When the Confederacy went down. Rich
mond went down in the ashes OF dcsola-
ton. She is now beautiful in prosperity
and adornment. The sight of this con-
troef will roioicc the heart of every old
Confederate.

that no coordination" Of men has ex-

the actual Governor in tho exercise OF
the discretion which thc law invests him
with. decided that such a case hai arisen.
and ass the law vested him with The dis
erection TO make this decision. how can
it Doe said that DE violated the law IN

With an due respect. we must Doe per-
mittcl 10 say that any such claim is,
in Our opinion, preposterous and absurd.
Men may differ as TO whether the case
was really OF sufficient importance go
Justify the Governor in coming TO the
conclusion that hc reached. Upon that
point. our own opinion IS that he was enc
urcly justified but how any man who
can read the English language and under
stand IL, can say that the law we have
quoted does not confer the authority on
the Governor that he exercised, passes our
comprehension.
We make no apology for pressing this
matter as we have done. u is one OF
vital Importance and the people should
be made to UNDERESTIMATE just as it is.
