Feast of the Ascension.

Z Yesterday was the feast of the Ascen-

were held at the Cathedral of the Immac-
ulate Conception and ST. Dominic
church. About one hundred boys wearing
white gloves and rosettes and the same
number of girls dressed in white, re-

Mr.. Joseph L. True, former resident
OF this state and well-known in Maine as
a commercial traveller for agricultural
implements, and now representing A. &
W. Gray's Sons of Middletown Springs,
Vermont, is at the Falmouth. Mr.. True
has had for many years a winter home
Twin Oaks Orange City, Florida, and
his large orange grove was killed by the
frost last winter, as were about all the
other groves in Florida. Many of the
trees have had to be cut off close to the
ground, although some of the older trees,
especially the seedlings, have only been
trimmed back to the main branches. The
appearance of these groves Of larger trees
now is grotesque, and one would think
that rows of rustic hat racks had been
planted.
Mr.. True thinks that the groves will
recover in four or five years; and that
ultimately the orange business will be
the better for it. The last heavy freeze
previous was in 1885, and the prospect is
fair that the present generation will not
be afflicted again.
The blow was heavy and discouraging
to the people of Florida, but Mr. True
says the effects of it have strengthened
rather than weakened his confidence in
the state. Finding their expectations of
revenue from oranges cut off, the people
have turned to the cereals and vegetables.
Planting can be done all the year around.
There are now thousands of acres of corn
growing in the state, and there will soon
be no end to the watermelons, cucumbers,
cabbages, and other garden products The
cost of living where the climate is to
mild and gardening SO easy, is small !;
and Mr.. True does not think that any
actual suffering will result from the
frost
Improvements are going forward fast
at Orange City. A shell boulevard is I'M
der way from Orange City to Deland
new railroad stations have been built,
and there is a general activity. The bust
ness from winter visitors is large; and is
expected to be larger than ever next year.

No Business in the Municipal Court.

There were no prisoners in the dock at
the Municipal court yesterday morning.
The same unusual fact was true of one
morning last week. This is very I'M
usual state of things. Are the two hun

idiers and law breakers of this city, who
appear in the Municipal court over and
over again, getting tri1e shy of Judge
Robinson and his habit of calling atten-
ton to their past history, and Furnishing

Atlanta Constitution. When Robert
Louis Stevenson was last in New York
the society people OF the 400 circle took
charge of him, and he was bored to death
by crowd of brainless tops and num-
Der of silly women who vainlJ- tried to
talk up to him. The result was that he
went away with distaste for New York
society, and ever afterward he made it q
point to shun Americans.
We are always making Just such mis-
takes when literary lions from Europe
come over here. Men and women who
are in society simply because they have
money seize upon famous writer, hur.
riedly learn the names of his books, and
their general character, and then proceed
to talk about matters concerning which
they are almost absolutely ignorant.
A man like Stevenson would have en-.
joyed himself in New York with set Of
bright Bohemisns, journalists and story
writers, but he did not understand the
common herd of rich people and they did
not appreciate him.
Society should change It's program in
regard to the entertainment of distin'
guished strangers. There is no sense in
forcing visitor to spend his time with q
mob of uncongenisl people. If it is real
ly the purpose of his entertainers to make
his visit pleasant, he should be protected
from bores, and bright men and women
who will interest him should be introduc.
ed. Stevenson, of course, went away
thinking that the New York society PEG.
pie were superficial or stupid, and vel
there were plenty of people in the me
tropolis who could have impressed him
very differently.

Churchill himself was well content.
Churchill never said much, "never spread
himself any," as the boys said yet when
he did spread it was high carnival for
all concerned. Tonight he had fairly
outdone himself. And why not? Was
it not Christmas ever Hadn't the dust
fairly rolled in for six long days, until the
canvas bag four feet underground in his
cellar was trying to burst the thongs
which bound it? Could he forget that
hundred head of cayuses that Umtuch

short day before, on great poker play !?

And yet-one thing troubled him. He
couldn't understand what 1t was that
kept that drunken and sbiftlsss Edison so
long in conversation with Umtuch; and
where had he gotten the money he had
that night been spending? Umtuch
wasn't given to wasting time; he usually
demanded cash consideration from the
victim Of his oily tongue and delft fingers.
Half-breed though he was, the white in

didn't own, yet claimed. Woe betide the
luckless rancher whose increase strayed
beyond the confines of his pasture land !;
for Umtuch and his redskin cronies were
always on the lookout, and it took but q
moment to heat the iron and fix the
crossed arrows to the quivering flank OF q

he numbered his wives at least, that was
his reputation. Coy indeed the dusky
