DEATH ROLL OVER TWENTY.
Twelve Bodies Taken From the Ruins
ut Denver.

Twelve Bodies Taken From the Ruins
ut Denver.
DENVER, Col, August 2O.-Twelve bodies
have so far been taken out of the ruins Of
the Gumry Hotel, and 1t is evident that
the death roll when complete will contain
twenty-four or twenty-five names, possibly
more.
The dead already taken out and identified
are: Frederick Houbold, manager of opera
house, Lisbon, Iowa; Robert c. Greiner,
manager of Gumry Hotel: Mrs. Robert c.
Greiner; James Murphy, contractor, Den
yer; George Burt, Rock Island railroad
conductor; E. F. McCloskey, mine owner,
Cripple Creek; Mrs. G. E. Wolfe, Lincoln; q
child of Mrs. Wolfe; VIM. Richards, ee-
vator pilot; b. L. /. Lorah, Central City,
county, Col; Myron F. Hawley, Union Pa
cific railroad clerk.
The statement made yesterday that Mrs.
r. c. Greiner, one of the victims of the
Gumry Hotel disaster, was a daughter of
Peter Gumry, who was also killed, proves
incorrect. Mr.. Gumry was never married
and leaves no known relatives. All he
knew about himself was that he was of
French birth and that his parents were
drowned at sea. OF all the crew and pas
sengers of the British brig Peter Gumry,
when she foundered off the banks of New
foundland over fifty years ago, he alone
was saved. HIS rescuers gave him the
name of the wrecked vessel. He leaves
property valued at 100000.

ARTIFICIAL DAYLIGHT.
A New Idea Carried Out In n Picture
Gallery.

A New Idea Carried Out In n Picture
Gallery.
From the Providence Journal
Capt. Abney, F. r. s., several years ago,
In conjunction with another investiga tor,
made a report to the British parliament
upon the causes of the fading of pigments
from exposure to light. 1t was stated in
this report that the rays which produce by
far the greatest change in pigment are the
blue and violet components OF white light;
and that these, for equal illumination, pre-
dominate In light from the sky. They are.
however. least In sunlight and in diffused
cloudlight, and are present in comparative
ly small proportions in the artificial lights
usually employed in lighting a room or
gallery. He has now communicated in the
form OF paper before the Society of Arts
the result of his experiments in the produc-
ton. for the lighting of picture galleries,
of an artificial kind of daylight which
should not fade the pictures one-tenth as
fast as natural daylight is capable OF doing.
In this 1t is claimed he has succeeded. The
first idea was to correct natural white light
by glazing the skylight with yellow glass.
but this suggestion was rejected, because,
although 1t would protect pigments, it
would give such a tinted light that would
prevent the blues from being properly seen.
The outcome OF Capt. AbneyS studies OF
the subject was the project to cut off the
violet rays from natural white light WITH
out altering the color. This apparently
problematical idea has been successfully
carried out in the lighting of the Raphael
Cartoon Gallery at South kensington,
where the daylight Is filtered through two
colored glasses, one blue green and one
yellow-the combination resulting in a
white light which Is a very close match
to that of the electric light, rendering the
blue pigments exposed to 1t a little more
brilliant than they would appear by nat
ural daylight. There Is a loss of IS per
cent of light: but where the skyIight is
large enough this does not matter, especial
ly as the necessity for a blind or for
ground glass is done away with.

EDITORIAL CHAT.

WE regret very much to chronicle the
death of Mr.. G. W. Hawkins Of the nursery firm
of W. M. Hawkins & Sons, Georgetown, which
occurred on the - tn inst at Burnside Beach.
Mr.. Hawkins OF those men who are
thought most ofby those who know them best
and leaves record behind that causes his friends
and relatives only pleasant recollections.
WE return thanks to Mr. Aaron War;,
of Georgetown, for a crate Of Thomas grapes
which we're the finest we have ever seen. The
grapes were very large and luscious and as a
table grape we're most enjoyable. The fact that
they are not bunch grape. SELDOM having over
four to six grapes in bunch, is against them
market grape, but no one in Florida should
be without vine OF this kind. Unfortunately
our "Thomqs" grape is a different kind and
scarcely worth the space 1T occupies. In buying
vines be sure that you are getting the large va
riety.

In the South Florida section of the
State where orange culture has claimed
the undivided attention of the people
for something less than a quarter of
century, we very much fear that there
are few first-clas immigration agents
since the freeze. The people of that
section had but one idea; they talked Of
only one subject; they could see. pleas
ure, profit, and happiness in nothing but
oranges, and since the February freeze
acted as cold sponge to the industry
they are nonplussed and have not yet
ceased to ask, ''Where am | at?' We
claim that there is yet profit in the Or
ange business, but the prospects of a rep
etition of the '95 freezes will cause the
prospector to pause before he comes
thousand miles to invest his dollars and
his muscle in the undertaking that is
hedged about with such a great uncer.
tainty. The logical conclusion therefore
is that we must induce immigration by
other means. We must let the world
know that we can produce other things;
we must show them that we are not de-
pendent upon the "extra hazardous"
business of orange growing for liveli-
hood. 1t will accom- plish little to talk
of these things; we must go to work and
demonstrate them. We must show
what we can produce. By doing this
we will be accomplishing a dual end
we will better our own condition and at
the same time demonstrate to the world
that Florida is a good place to live; a
good place to come to; place where a
living can be made from the soil and
all of the comforts of a delightful CHI
mate enjoyed.
The colony plan is one of the best and
most effective methods of increasing the
population of the State 1t has many
points in it's favor. By this plan COM
pany of agriculturists is collected. add
the work of the co]onists will be perpet
ual object lessons. The managers of
the Farm, Field and Firesde colony of
Chicago who have purchased land in
Clay county in the vicinity Of Green
Cove Springs, it strikes us, have started
on the right track. We extract the fol-
lowing from their announcement:
We have all kinds of land Cleared
land with Improvements, cleared land
without Improvements, stump land, land
with the native tim Der standing, pine
land, hardwood land, hammock land,
land within corporation limits, and land
from three to four miles distant from
town; also land fronting on the St. Johns
river. The range will be from SIS to $15
per acre, according to location and con.
dition. We have very large acreage
at the first named figure. When the
colony shall be established every acre of
this lard will be worth from $25 to $50
per acre. One dollar for each acre sold
in the colony will be set aside to be used
in building canning and pickle factory,
a sugar mill and an ice plant three i'm
portant adjuncts to the enterprise. A
company will be organized to operate
these industries. Each purchaser of ten
or more acres of land will receive one
share of stock in this company for each
ten acres bought. The company will be

START RIGHT.

his home appeared to think himself
justified in using a very large paint
brush dipped in the most highly colored
paint in their descriptions of the State,
it's products and its possibilities. We
believe 1T is an excellent idea for man
to think his possessions are good-the best
on earth if possible. This is necessary
for contentment, and contenment is an
essential ingredient Of happiness. At
the same time we have always depre-
Gated the practice OF painting too highly
the attractions of a country, in order to
secure settlers. Much injury has unin-
tentionally been done Florida. and per-
haps other states by those who should
be, and doubtless are, it's best friends.
Those who were impressed with the de-
scriptions and became sett lers were
afflicted with too exhalted idea the of
possibilities of the State and conse-
quenty were unable to "get down" 10
the hard pan reality. They were i'm
pressed with beautiful visions of crops
yielding hundred Of dollars per acre;
sweet dreams of few years of labor
and then perpetual rest, happiness and
dreams proved dreams only they were
not only dissatisfied but positively re-
fused to reconcile themselves to a con.
dition, which-while not bad, was very
different to what they expected.
1t is no unusual thing to see Flor
idlan, who should know better, turn up
his aesthetic probosis when crop or a
product is mentioned that would yield
him perhaps twenty-five, thirty or forty
dollars per acre net. No indeed; he
expected any where from five hundred
to thousand dollars per acre and he
would have that or nothing. This same
individual before he came to Florida
was perhaps satisfied to raise cotton at
five cents per pound and seven dollars
per acre, or wheat at very little more.
He was content to work twelve month
year on a worn out farm and counted
himself lucky if he was able to pay mis-
store account and his doctors bill at
the close of the year. 1t is not so with
him in Florida; nothing less than his
cherished dream will be accepted.
The man is of course to blame for lis
foolish course, but those who fired his
imagination are not entirely blameless.
We are lead to these remarks, which
in substance have before found place in
these columns, by the fact that new
settlers are needed worse in Florida now
than ever before. We must have new
blood, new capital-and there is no
reason we should not. The State offers
many things that no other section can.
We can impress people seeking homes
in mild climate with our advantages
and not exaggerate in the least A plain,
unvarnished statement will be all that
is necessary for thinking man.
We will in measure have to start a
fresh. We will have to do over what
we have already done, and we are anx
ious that no mistake should be made
and that we start right this time. Tell
the people that we sometimes have q
freeze that in night wipes out the
labors of decade. Tell them that
while orange growing has great promise
