MIXED SCHOOLS PROHIBITED.
BOylan Home Receives a scathing
Communication.


Jacksonville. Fla, Sept Al. s. Hart
zell, agent of the Freedmen's Aid Soci-
ETY., which runs the Boylan Home, a
school here wherein negroes are taught
by whites, wrote w. n. Sheats, state
superintendent of public schools, as to the
application of the school law, and re-
ceived the following reply;
You can construe the law to suit your
self. II is my opinion that the word per-
sons in section l is intended to apply to
teachers and pupils and the intent of the
law is TO nip in the bud the social equal
ity and miscegenation that such schools
are calculated and possibly are intended
to inaugurate in this part of the coun-
try
Those of US who love the Anglo-Saxon
race and this great American republic
are willing to do almost anything to pre-
serve race purity, and to save the south
from the spectacle witnessed in Hayti,
Jamaica, Mexico, and wherever there are
no race distinctions We believe in the
education of the negro-our works tes-
tify as to our faith-but we do not be-
lieve in the elevation of the negro at the
cost of the degeneration of our own
race.
I'm many sections of the south the
blacks are largely In the majority. You
are philosopher enough to know what
must be the final result Of your nefa-
rious doctrine of co-education of the
races and of social equality. If the negro
must be educated with the whites, l sin
cerely pray that it will only be done north
of the Ohio. where the whites will out
number them.
This doctrine of social equality espec-
tally as il is enforced upon the helpless
school children, is the only animosity l
bear the north. In every other respect, /
admire her institutions and her enter
prise, especially her educational and re-
ligieus labors and enthusiasm. Yours
truly"
The law is as follows:
Section 1. 1t shall be- a penal offense for
an individual, body of inhabitants, cor
poration, or association, TO conduct with
in this state any school of any grade,
public, private or parochial, wherein
white persons and negroes shall be in
structed or boarded within the same
building, or taught in the same class or
at the same time by the same teacher.
Sec. 2. Any person or persons violating
the provisions of section l of this act by
patronizing or teaching in such school,
shall, on conviction thereof, be fined in
a sum not less than $3.50, nor more than
$500 or imprisoned in the county Jail for
not less than three months nor more than
six months. for every such offense.
Sec. 3. All laws or parts of laws in con-
hict with the provisions Of this act are
hereby repealed.
The Boylan home managers and the
American Missionary Society," which
operates a mixed school al Orange Park
both announce they will fight the law in

ARMS FOR THE INSURGENTS.
Those That Were Captured by the
Collector at Cedar Keys.

Cedar Keys. Fla. Sept 4.-On Friday
a schooner was dispatched to the resi-
dence Of Mr.. A. p. Burns. in the Gulf
hammock, to seize and bring to Cedar
Keys the storage Of arms made al that
place by insurgent sympathizers. On Sat
urday the cargo was open to inspection
at this port and found 10 consist OF
liberal supply of cartridges and eighteen
cases OF Remington rifles The rifles were
little beauties and were packed securely
in cases. each Of which held large card
with full instructions written in Spanish
and commentator OF the bravery Of the
insurgent soldiers. All of these packages
were addressed TO the Cuban cities Of
Santa Clara and Porte Principe.
The Spanish consul purchased tickets to
Tampa for his aides. the man who had
guided him and himself.
It now transpires that when the Span
ish party went out TO North Key on their
exploration they made. as they supposed.
"a very thorough search OF the island, but
found only evidences Of q deserted camp,
two pumps sunk in the ground, and
large store OF provisions
The informant with them was a dis
charged emplOye OF the schooner Mischief
instead Of the Annie" He deplOyed the
party from North Key to the ind on the
Wicasasie and made other disclosures Of
y importance, relative to the plans and re-
sources OF the Cubans.
on Sunday the collector of customs,
with a sufficient escort, went on an inves-
tigating tour of his own, to North Key.
Here he found two negroes stationed.
Having frightened them into d full con-
fession. he ascertained that they were on
the island during the Spaniards visit, and
watched all their maneuvers from a dis
lance. At one time the searching party
were within ten feet of the hidden booty.

consul and his men, the schooner Annie
hove in sight. Awaiting the dim twilight
they enacted a drama, similar to those Of
the buccaneer OF old. Weighing anchor,
they stealthily sought the hidden arms
and transferred them toward the schooner.
Out in midchannel the captain ordered
the guns uncased. and the entire cargo
was cast overheard. 1t was a weird scene.
wilderness of water, an only vessel,
dimly outlined by her ghostly sails. and
the silent crew, consgning to the deep the
treasure of the far off Cuban braves.
Having graphically detailed the entire
scene the negro located the exact waters
in which the packages had been deposited.
The collector of customs tested the validity
OF the romantic story by sounding the
water with graphing hooks and sponge
stavers. He was rewarded by the dis
covery of the coveted stores, comprising
about one hundred boxes of cartridges
two cases of rifles and other small stores.
The captain of the Annie is an ardent
lover Of the water, and confided to her
care the trust he was no longer able
TO defend. Had il not been for the sable
spies, the insurgents secret would still
be entombed in the Gulf.
United States Attorney Wolfe of Pensa-
ola and Marshal Puelston of Monticello
arrived on the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular train yesterday afternoon for the
purpose Of investigating the seizure.

soUrH FLORIDA sILvERITEs.
Col. Merrill the Lone Orator of the
Orlando Meeting.

Orlando. Fla. Sept. 4.-The night meet
ing Of the silver men last night was inter
esting and the enthusiasm and numbers
are increasing. The leaders now feel con-
hdent that the convention viii develop
into a gathering Of much Importance to
their cause. They are still anxious for
joint discussion with the gold standard
men. and are ready 10 arrange details al
once if their challenge shall be accepted.
The speakers last night were Col C.
z. Merrill an old and well known news
paper man. Rev. 5. d. smith of this place
and Rev. O. y. Williams Of Fort Christ
mas. Col Merrill spoke briefly. But it
was arranged that he take the stand al
10 O'Clock this morning. He stated that
after a nights rest he would be ready to
talk one hour. TWO hours, or all day, as
the people might desire.
The silver men are certainly in earnest,
and are fun OF enthusiasm for their
cause They have the courage OF their
convictions. Their numbers in this sec
ton are not large. but what is lacking
in numerical strength is made up in
eaTnestness.
The COW boy contingent IS materially
increased in numbers to-day. Tomorrow
will be the big day OF the rally.
Col c. F. Merrill. formerly editor Of the
Jacksonville Standard, was the only
speaker at thu silver convention this
morning There was no afternoon meet
ing, only a cowboy parade in the streets.
The number in attendance this morning
was twice that Of yesterdays meeting
and the enthusiasm seems to have increas-
ed in proportion. There seems 10 be
scarcity of silver orators, while the advo-
,cates of the gold standard seem TO have
gone into retirement.
No joint discussion has been arranged
for up to this time. 1t has been an
nounced that Mr.. NJ. c. Reredell, who
is a resident of this place. will speak IN
favor of the white metal either tonight
or tomorrow.
Recent developments indicate that there
was no ground for the surmise that there
was collision between the silver men and
the leaders of the farmers movement
in calling the two conventions on the same
date. The farmers convention was called
or tomorrow.
The silver men feel entirely able TO
paddle their own canoe, and object to be
the tail Of anybodys kite. Their leaders
know less about the farmers movement
than anybody else. and they seem TO care
for il as little as they know about it,

~PEEP, PEEP, PEEP"
The Fine Brood of Biddies Found by
Florida Express Clerk.

Florida Express Clerk.
Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. AIN the South
ern Express office this morning a wonder
full discovery was made. A crate of eggs
shipped from North Carolina seven days
ago. in a packing of cotton seed, was
in process of development into a crate Of
chickens.
When Mike Daniels. a clerk in the office
came down, he was surprised to hear the
chirps of chicks from the cotton seed
crate. He Investigated and found that
some of the eggs had Matched and that
the shells of others were being broken
by the little fellows on the inside, who
cried out, peep. peep, peep" plaintively
for liberation from their prisons.
Mike placed the Matched chicks on the
floor and they went to work in a most
self-satisfied way to pick up a living for
themselves.
Col. Osborne agent of the company,
was much tickled over the idea that his
Office should be the one 10 make so valua-
Bile contribution to science. He intends
to have the chicks exhibited at the At
lanta exposition.
The discovery may involve the company
in a law suit to settle the question as to
whether or not a company receiving eggs
should deliver chickens.

with 30 minutes, Longley follow in two
hours and Smith conclude in 30 minutes.
Judge F. H. Whitaker, chairman of the

When the hour for speaking arrived.
the court house was packed with a good
crowd. Mr.. Smith was introduced by J.
T. Thornton, and had the closest atten-
ton and made a magnificent argument for

Judge Longley was at his best, but the
crowd was plainly in sympathy with the
secretary and his line of argument
