A CITY OF NEGROES.
Eatonville, in Florida, Has no whites in
It's Limited Population.

inc city of Eatonvlle, i'm Florida, is
composed of only 400 or 800 people, but
it is growing. Its popularity is that only
negroes live there, while nearby settle
ment called Maitland, is composed eXclu-
siVcly of whites. This arrangement seems
to be mutually satisfactory. EatonVllc
is the labor emporium for all the sur
rounding region. When not. employed by
others the EatonVlle negroes work for
themselves. Each house has "a lot of one
half acre, which, after the house is built,
is planted with orange trees or with
Garden vegetables. No police are needed
there, and the people all seem to be MAX
ing money. Their vegetables meet a ready
sale all through the sections, where there
is large negro population. The negroes
all know Eatonvile as a place where the
Coorod people own everything, and they
give it's products their preference A large
school for colored children at jacksonville
has recently been removed TO Eatonville.
AS this school educatcs 800 children, it
will double the population Of the city and
will add greatly to its prosperity. An
Eatonville art school was established this
winter. at which GO colored students took
lessons i'm drawing and paintng.-Manu-

NERVOUS AS AN OLD MANI
Yet Garlic" Got tho Balls Over the
League Plate.


Cleveland o.. July 1G.-Timcly hitting
Cleveland from Baltimore to-day. Knell
in the first game and Young in the second
pitched excellent ball. Kelcrs fielding
was a feature of both games. McGraw
was put out of the second game for try
ing to score without touching third base.
When Baltimore took the field for the
seventh inning of the first game this af-
tcrnoon a new twirler appeared in the
box for the champions. 1t was Pond. the
pitcher signed by Manager Hanton from
the Vermont University team. 1t was
Ponds first game and he was as nervous
as an old maid. off went his cap on the
ground and in true college style he began
to earn his salary as a league player. The
first ball he pitched cut the plate squarely
across the centre and it came with the
speed of a cannon shot. 1t was a strike,
so was the second and the third ball
thrown by the Colegian From that time
on his nervousness was minimiZed. Not a
hit was made off his delivery and two of
Cleveand's heavy batters were retired on
strikes.
Pond is small and boyish looking. His
hair is long and worn in regulation college
style. Manager Hanlon is well pleased
with the youngsters showing, but didn't
put him in the second game because he
thought the work done by Pond would
encourage him for later efforts, while any
ill-luck in the second game would have a
contrary effect. Several of the Cleveland
players stated to the Free Press cores
pondent after the game that they had
watched Ponds work critically and they
were unanimous in their opinion that lie
was n phenomenon and would develop
into star.

THE SCHOOL HOUSE QUESTION.
school Commissioners and Committee of
Aldermen Investigate the Hiokok Prop

Saturday afternoon the Board of School
Commissioners, in company with the COM
mittcC on schools of the Board of Alder
men, visited the llickok property on Pearl
street A thorough investigation was
made and the possible changes were fully
discussed whereby it could be converted
into a temporary school building. Nothing
was definitely said by the committee of
aldermen, but the school board merely
wished to explain the proposition intelli-
gently to them so that they could make
their report at the next meeting of the
Board of Aldermen.
In the main part of the building there is
a large hall running through the centre,
with large, easy staircase to the second
floor. on both sides of this hallway are
two rooms, separated by partition which
can very easily be torn out, making a
large room II by 80 feet, furnishing room
for Il desks, only six less than the rooms
of the Converse school. The second floor
is exactly similar in arrangement.
There are four rooms with a
Is foot ceiling, well adapted for
school purposes, and with n seating capac-
ity for 176 pupils. These rooms will serve
for the grammar grades.
Back Of the main part is a wing 81 by 81
feet, with the same height OF ceiling, first
and second floors being the same, with a
seating capacity of about 100. This will
serve for the intermediate grades.
Beyond the main building is a brick
barn. 81 by 40 feet, with large rooms for
cloak rooms, etc. This is well adapted for
the primary grades, and has seating
capacity of about 100.
There are eight large rooms with a total
capacity of a little less than 400 pupils,
without crowding. After pointing out
these facts tho commissioners said the
Main street grammar annex could be util-
tied for the present ungraded school on
Cherry street and also relieve the Con-
verse school of the primary and ntermedi-
ate grades.
a commissioner said that from remarks
dropped 10y the committee of aldermen he
thought they would favor building a new
school building having eight rooms III the
north part of the city, rather than to buy
the Hickok place.
1t has also been suggested that the two
fire buildings on Winooski avenue and
Union streets could very easily be con-
VCrted into school houses that would an
swer the purpose for a few years, and
that these, with an addition to the Archi-
bald school, would relieve the pressure.

SATURDAYS STORM
Did Great Damage in New Jersey and
Long Island

That the storm of Saturday was wide
spread is shown by a report that from AL
lendale, five miles to the northward from
Paterson, n. j., came at O'Clock Satur-
day afternoon cyclone that plowed its
furious way along the line of the Erie
railroad, loaped the Hudson river, tore
across the end of Manhattan Island. re
sumed the exercise of its destructive pow
ers on Long Island, and, flashing back the
waves at Rockaway, went out to worry
the ships at sea.
Five persons were killed at Cherry Hill,
n. j. Nearly 100 were injured. The town
was almost completely wrecked The prop
erty damage is between $4,000 and $4,000,
Woodhaven, L. l., was lifted from its
foundations, and piled in twisted and
broken masses here and there over the
land that had been its site. y woman was
killed there and 40 persons were injured,
The property damage is estimated at $50.
600
At Allcndale the storm was fierce, but it
did not develop it's full strength until it
swooped upon Cherry Hill. 1t began with
hail and rain, but soon the cyclonic wind
began to clutch the movable things of the
earth and distribute them in all concev-
able conditions of confusion.
New York knew little of the storm eX-
cept in it's upper section, and there the
only damage done was to windows, trees,
and gardens.
Cherry Hill, a hamlet of 80 houses about
five miles from lIaCkensack. n j.. was al
most oblitcrated by n WindStorm Saturday
afternoon. y number OF persons Were
killed, and fully 100 injured.
The storm approached the village from
the northwest. The first sign noticed was
a darkening of the air, and in a short
time there came a strong, though short
lived warm breeze. The black clouds
which followed the wind appeared to he
ordinary rain clouds. Then came another
rush of warm wind, followed by another
lull, during which rain fell. This was fol-
lowed by a cold wind which chilled every
one. There was little time to notice this
for almost simultaneously with the cold
wind there came a shower of immense
hailstones. Then came cyclone, and in
"A minute the town was in ruins.
The path of the storm was about 30(
feet wide, but its effects We're felt a long
distance one either side of the strip over
which the whirlwind passed.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING,
4 Destructive storm Saturday. House
Observation-Disclosures at the Gorge.

The elements had everything their own
way here Saturday when this city was
visited by the most terrific thunder storm
of the season.
Heavens artillery sounded forth with
awful grandeur and the forkcd lightning
darted here and there with fearful vivid
ness. Reports come to US that the grain
in the surrounding country is somewhat
damaged. but in the city 10 great loss
is reported. Several narrow escapes from
shocks are reported about the city, but
the most remarkable occurred at the resi-
dcncc of l.. a. Walker, pa South Willard
street. The bolt struck the cupola and
completely demolished it, scattering lum-
Der all over the neighborhood 1t then
entered the house and tore the plastering
from the bedroom walls, crossed the hall
into the library, tearing the picture mould
ing off the walls and blackening the walls
and furniture Mrs. Walker was in the
sitting room at the time; on a couch. She
said: Il saw "a ball of fire rolling
around the room and fell asleep. The next
thing | remember was Secretary Brownell
speaking to me and | recovered conscious
ness. Secretary Browncll had seen the
clapboards fly and had run into the house,
thinking perhaps it had caught fire. The
house was black with smoke but had not
caught fire in any place the damage to
it amounting to only $3.50 which was
adjusted by T. s. Peck.
The bolt came from the northwest corner
of the house and followed the water pipe,
into the street, ripping up the main for
a distance of 200 feet, and sending the
water like Il giant geyscr into the air.
The service was shut off between Main
and Maple streets and a gang of men We're
