DAMAGE IN FLORIDA.
Early Vegetable Crop Ruined and Budding
Orange Trees Killed

The full extent OF damag3 done by the cold
wave through Florida will be hard 10 esti-
mate for some days because returns will be
slow in coming in from all points. Advlces
from different sections OF the Sta'e Indicate
that the dana 20 done Is equal to, II not
greater, than that OF the December freez'.
The area OF low temperature has ext nded as
far south as in December, and vegetation was
not in az strong condition to stand the cold
as then. To recoup the losses OF the orange
crop many orange-growers Immediately
panted vegetables. There had started into
a vigorous growth and were developed 10
exactly the point where they co@ld be most
damaged by severe cold 1t appears now
that the vegetable crop OF Florida Is an en-
tire loss. Older orange trees through the
State had already shown signs OF recovery
BY putting out new growrh, and along the
Halifax and Indian rivers and in the south
ern portions OF the orange belt had come to
bloom. As far as can be learned this boo&
and growth have been destroyed. Pine
apples were g. beginning 10 bloom iG In-
dian river country, and these now, too, have
been ruinel, but adyices from Palm Beacl
and Lake Worth are that damage done there
is very slight An experienced ruit- grower
estimates that tho damage throughout tue
State will reach SO, 600 900.

Charley Washington died in 1859
and the neglected farm passed into
other hands. Wellington Hall is
frame dwelling, painted white, and
with the outbuildings is in good re-
pair. A lane, lined with poplars,
which the railroad crosses, connects
it with the Richmond turnpike. From
Wellington to Mount Vernon the dis
tance is five miles, the last station
being Riverside Park, at Little Hunt
ing Creek, which stream divided the
old River Farm of Washington's map
from the Mansion House Farm. A
mile beyond this creek the Ger stops
at the gates of Mount Vernon. By
this route there is no more climbing
the steep hill from the wharf, but the
visitor enters the grounds at the foot
of the western lawn and walks up a
long tagged path through the trees to
the near side of the old mansion.

It is not given to the average visitor
to the home of Washington to see all
the beauties of the place. Much less
can he know the details of the home
life of the great proprietor, or under
stand the splendor of his former en-
vironment. The visitor goes through
the old mansion. He looks into the
little. stuffy rooms with their odd and
incongruous mixture of old and up-to-
date furniture. He gazes at the
elegant and extremely modern tinted
and gold frescoes, at the rich and
brilliant Persian rugs with which the
ladies of the association have covered
the floors, and he finds it difficult to
imagine this the home of the I'M
mortal Washington. To most visitors
it seems d great pity that there has
been such an effort made to impress
the public with the fact that Wash
ington led luxurious life by means OF
the rich and modern trappings they
have smuggled into the old mansion,
The splendor of Washington's life at
Mount Vernon was reflected by his
broad acres, by his great farming
operations, by his hundreds OF slaves,
including artisans and mechanics OF
all kinds, by the wealth OF his
hospitality and the magnihcence ol
his military and official career. There
were no frescoes of gilt and tlnts II
Washington's day-no wall paper
even. There was nothing but white
washed walls and ceilings. Nor were
there any Darghestan rugs OF AK
minister carpets.
