Purchases Fast Sailing Craft-What He

Gloucester Mass, June 21.-The

fishing vessel, recently purchased at
this port, sailed from here yesterday
evening for Key West, Fla Her new
owner Is DIR. j. L. Edgar of Dunedin,
Fla. After being refitted at Key West
she will be taken to Port Tampa, which
will be her home port. Mr. Edgar says
sci in the fruit trade between gulf ports
and Honduras, although instead of en-
gaging in the carrying of fruit he might
put his vessel into some other business
DIR. Edgar appeared greatly in SYM
pathy with the Cuban insurrectionists,
and said he hoped that they would gain
their Independence.
Il have visited Cuba many tines he
said, "and am somewhat acquainted
with number of leading men who are
now defying the Spanish government,
and hope that they may be successful in
overthrowing it and gaining their lib
erty.''
The more men Spain sent, he said, the
easier it would be to beat her. Spain
was a poverty-stricken country, and
her resources would soon become ex-
hausted. The troops, If not killed, would
die from starvation and yellow fever, as
they were not used to the climate. While
the government troops were we'll equip
ped, they could not compete with the
guerilla methods of the Cubans.

Cinchonn.

Cinchona was originally called "count-
ess powder, from tho fact that it was said
to have been introduced into Europe by
the Countess of Cinchona, wife of the vice
roy of Peru. 1t was also called Peruvian
bark and Jesuits bark, from tho country
where it was originally discovered ard
from tho Jesuit fathers who used it in
medical practice. 1t was first used in tho
cure of intermittent fevcrs about 1910
The tree from which the bark is procured
grows in Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, New
Granada and many other parts Of South
America and has been planted with sue
cess in India and Ceylon. There arc said
to be over a dozen varieties of the cinchona
producing plant all of which yield bark
of different quality. Quinine, or quinia,
an alkaloid contained in the bark, was dis
covered by Pclletier and Cavcnton in 49, }.
1t is believed to be probable constituent
of all the yellow cinchona barks Artifi-
cial quinine was prepared synthetically by
w. L. Scott in 1865 The principal man
ufactories of quinine are in London, Ber-
lin Paris, Now York and Philadelphia,
and 1t is stated that tho artificial manufac-
ture of this article has progressed to such
an extent that the preparation of the medl-
cine from the bark will probably cease in
the next few years Tho manufacture Of
quinine in 1883 reached a total of 236, 600
pounds

A French authority states that about
4,200 species of plants are utilized for va
rious purposes in Europe. OF these only
about onc-tenth have an agreeable per-
fume, the others being either inodorous or
having an unpleasant smell. White flow
ers are tho most numerous. Ono thousand
one hundred and twenty four species out
of 1920 are white, and 1877 OF these have
scent; 03l (77 perfumod) arc yellow. Next

Washington, June 21.--(special Corre-

ton"
Representative Washington of Tennes-

turning the tide of public opinion on the
silver question in the south and Tonnes

were read by the voters in his state and
