How They Round Up Delinquent Debtors
In Cultured Boston.

In Cultured Boston.

ton. Then I'll make him come to the
center" remarked an angry man the
other day while roasting theatrical
manager who owed him a few hundred
dollars for services rendered. told him
that | supposed he would then clap the
debtor into the Charles Street Jail.
That's just what will do if / ever
catch him there, you bet /" And then
the mad actor explained how easy it
was to get even with people of that sort
in the Hub No matter what the debt,
nor where or how it was contracted, all
one has to do is to enter a complaint
and that settles it. If one who owes is
averse to notoriety, ho'll hardly take
the poor debtors oath, which releases
him for certain number of years, but
does not wipe out his obligations, but
will linger in the bastile until he can
interest his friends or realize on his col
lateral and settle.
l know several New Workers who
have run against creditors in the bean
burg and have suffered. Some joke
about their incarceration and the ques-
tons put to them during the process of
administering the poor debtor oath,
but most all agree that the Boston~law
is puritanical provision that should
be materially amended Bostonians who

New Florida Canal.

One of the greatest projects ever at
tempted in this state is the retaining
of 10000 acres of land by the Meadow
Land Improvement company. The land
which this company is retaining is a
cypress pond near Orange lake, between
Citra and Sparrs, near the Alachua coun-
ty line. The land is to be reclaimed by
digging canal is feet to 80 feet deep
and GO to so feet wide at the top. The
canal will run from the pond to the
Ocklawaha river, distance of nine
miles. The completion of the company
canal system from the Florida Central
and Peninsular railroad ON the west
through the tract, a distance of l miles,
to the famed Ocklawaha river on the
east, will give water route via canal,
Ocklawaha and st. Johns rivers (regu-
lar lines of passenger and freight steam
ers ply these great inland waterways)
to the Atlantic seaboard. This will in
sure competitive route and correspond
ing low freightage for marketing crops.
The canal will be free to settlers. -

THE TELEGRAPHIc "THlRTY."
How the Cipher, Which Is Now Universal,
Had Its Origin.

I attended funeral the other day
where there WAS a lovely flower piece
with the figures "30n in the center
The deceased had-been familiar all his
life with that signal, having been con-
nected with telegraph OR newspaper
business for nearly 30 years, and yet I
doubt if ever lie or any one who con-
tributed to the flower piece knew or
dreamed how 80 came to mean any
thing, especially fms, or the end.
As part in telegraph history will
explain how this signal. which has
come to mean SO much, had its origin.
Like q great many other expressions, it
was started accidentally, as it were. In
the infancy of the telegraph business
dispatches were sent paid or collect,
many of them abbreviated in telegraph
ing, and all newspaper dispatches were
not only abbreviated, but sent collect
There were no news agencies then, as
now, and papers had friends in all the
towns, who were authorized to send
them dispatches to be called for
Every beginner in the art of teleg-
raphy was given a book Of abbrevia-
tons and signals, which lie had to COM
NIT to memory and practice till he be-
came expert III their use. Among those
signals that of 80 was found, and it
meant collect pay at the other end. "
Whether a news dispatch or common
business message, if not prepaid, the
signal 80 was attached. As all press
dispatches were paid for where received.
they all had 80 at the end So when
news agencies began their work the sig
nal was retained, for they were still
paid for where received.
This signal has come in these days to
be a universal fms TO all press dis
patches, private, special and general,
and a secondary meaning, or perhaps,
better, a legendary meaning attaches
itself as ''the end" and is proper and
beautiful expression of the fms of u
telegraph operator or any other person
1t well may be a signal TO the spirit
nal dispatch of human soul to the
great center of rewards and as notice
to estimate its value when received and
collect pay at the other end. st.

Doty was charged with battery on two
complaints, sworn to by C. j. Quinlan
and Daniel O'Hare. Quinlan, O'Hare. B.
Hanlon and Frank Duffy testified that
Doty was not justified in striking Quin-
Ian, and that they were attending to their
own affairs at the depot.
Doty and John Schneider testified that
the hackmen were more or less intoxi-
Gated, and interfered with Doty's duties
as an employe of the Western Hotel.
Doty testified that on Saturday morn
ing Railroad Officer Frank Rider was on
gagged IN keeping passengers from step
ping on broken step in q car in the
depot, and the hackmen, taking advan-
tage OF riders absence from the west
entrance to the depot, attempted to run
things in their own way. They crossed
the dividing line between the hotel and
hack mons stands and stationed them
selves next to the Western Hotel bus
OHare Doty said, was soliciting, when,
in fact, he had no hack there Doty found
keep away from the bus. One of the
hackmen insulted James Long and his
wife of San Francisco, and Mr.. Long
asked the assistance of Joe McAulitle to
help subdue the hackmen.
Justice Davis said it was evident from
the testimony that the hackmen inter
tered with Doty and provoked him into a
tight. Doty was discharged.
In the second charge against Doty the
evidence Tor the prosecution was similar
to that in the first charge.
Officer Ash testified that O'Hare is of a
noisy and quarrelsome disposition, and
his reputation is not of the best
Doty's testimony in the first case ap-
piled to the facts in the second case, with
The exception that O'Hare told him at the
depot that the latter was there to watch
the horses hitched to James Cousins
hack, although the horses were tied TO a
post OHare, Doty said, was not watch
ing Cousins team, but was soliciting
patronage from the arrivals on the train
Justice Davis took the same view in
this case as he did in The other and dis
charged Doty.
Before court adjourned Quinlan denied
that he was drunk on the occasion, and
SAID that he was not drinking man.
