ORLANDO NOTES.

Some Business Changes-PeOple Go
ing Elsewhere, Others Coming In
Orlando. Fla, Sept. 1.-The work Of re-
organization consequent upon the great
freeze of last winter shows greater signs
of activity as the fall business season
approaches. People who have hesitated to
make a change. or waited. like Micawber,
for something to turn up" are now on
the move.
Orlando's losses cover all classes Of bus
mess
The most important change, however, is
the consolidation of the Merchants Bank
with the State Bank of Orlando, and the
departure of Assistant Cashier Z. Kirby
Smith, city treasurer, TO Texarkana, Tex,
where he becomes cashier Of the Inter
state National Bank.
in losing old and respected citizens we
have some consolation in the coming here
from other sections of new settlers who
wish to try their fortunes in Orange couu-
". Orlando being the county seat, and
well located in many other respects, must
draw within her borders enough new
corners to more than fill the vacant places.
Our industrial enterprises are fiourishing
and we have two great lines of railway
passing through our city. 1t is a central
place for convention of various kinds and
these often bring people on the lookout
for new homes and we catch not few
of this class who are struck with the act
i've, business-like scenes on our streets.
Next week the silver men are to have
big convention here, as well as the fruit
and vegetable growers, and we expect to
capture some Of the delegates who are
ION the move" for permanent residents
of our attractive city.
Being a bicycle center. Orlando is greatly
interested in the various meets" and
contests in the south, and while our cham
pion, Huffstetler, was not awarded the
first prize at Jacksonville. we still hold him
up as the coming star rider Of future tour
naments. 1t Is not alone I'm cities with
paved streets that the bicycle is making
a record against the horse and carriage.
Even on our poor Florida sand roads-if
they can be called roads-good time is
made by our wheelmen and those of San
ford between the two cities, some twenty
miles apart. The trip makes a pleasant
Sunday outing and is often made.
Public opinion seems to think that these
out-of-town trips of bicycles will work
a revolution in favor of better country
roads, as it has already done in the mat
ter of good streets in the city. Men who
ride in vehicles tolerate bad roads, but
the man on the bicycle, who knows what
a header" means, clamors for improved
and safe highways between neighborins
cities. Orlando has been walked up fully
in this matter and will act in it.

Tampa Tribune: one OF the things that

any more. Once upon time one OF
these great and good corporations, whose
mission in Florida is purely philanthroptc,
and whose praises the Jacksonville Citi-
zen is never tired Of singing in high
falsetto. CHANGED to observe this park and
saw that II was good. Not long after
this its representatives sought out the
big men of Hyde Park and said TO them:
Your park Is being wasted-it is like a
woman without eyebrows. 1t has no
fence. Give us possession and we VIII erect
one. so that wandering cows may no
longer defle its Verdant spaces. And IL
shall not cost you a nickel' The offer,
which seemed a good one, was accepted,
and the fence was put up, and in ii there
were gates for ingress and egress. But
those gates are there for ornament not for
use, for they are locked, and the people
of Hyde Park feel that they have been
fenced out of their own property, which
Is now torn up with railroad switches

Mrs. Cornelius Calls Upon Mrs. Willie
X, and All Difficulties Are at End.
From the New York Morning Journal.
Newport. r. I. Aug. 26.-The inevitable
has happened, and no longer need So
families of Mrs. Willie X. Vanderbilt and
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
1t has long been rumored that a recon-
Citation would take place, but there were
few that gave credence TO the report. Too
many remembered the snubs al the Casino
hops this season, when the two Miss Van
derbilts danced in the same set, yet there
was no sign of recognition.
Such things as these have been so fire.
quent that people finally came to think
the breach was too wide to be healed. 1t
now looks, however as though the diff
ferences are at an end, and Miss Con-
suelo and Miss Gertrude may again be
friends and enjoy each others society
1t has been very disagreeable for them
going in the young set as they have to
do, to be as distant as strangers, and it
is thought that for them the reconcilia-
ton has taken place.
Those who happened along Bellevue
avenue on Saturday morning saw the
large gates of the marble palace swung
open and a carriage drive in. The livery
was that of a Vanderbilt but the occu-
pant of the carriage was not the mistress
of the palace. 1t was Mrs. Cornelius VAN
derbilt, and she was calling on Mrs. Will
lie K.
How long the visit lasted, or what was
the occasion of 1t, is not known, but 1t is
suspected that the two families have again
Joined.
The next few days will tell the story.
In the meanwhile, all eyes will be d.
rected upon the Vanderbilts with an 'anx-
ious curiosity.

Woman Suffrage Gets a Black Eye
From the Judges.
Salt Lake, Utah. Aug. s1-The terrific
rial supreme court to-day rendered its
decision on the worlan's suffrage ques-
ton, holding that only male citizens are
entitled to vote on the adoption or re-
lection of the state constitution and for
the first state officers. The basis for this
decision, as stated by the court. was that
the Edmunds-Tucker act, which disfran-
chised women in the territory of Utah
is still in force and applicable until it is
repealed, or the territory actually be-
comes a state.
Chief Justice Merritt, democrat, and AS
sociate Bartch, republican, agreed in that
view, Associate Justice King. democrat,
delivered a dissenting opinion, holding
that the enabling act, by implication re-
pealed the provisions of the Edmunds-
Tucker act that women were not entitled
to vote on the constitution and for the
first state officers.
