Tours 20 FInridn.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, so many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
aud unhealthtul changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, ii is pre-eminently q land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pompanO, and others of more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find q greater variety Of
game or better sport
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist
With its matchlcss climate, its orange
groves its rivers and lakes its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
Of nature, the sportsman and the explorer.
70 this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sOnally conducted tours during the season of
1897 leaving by special train January 26
February and 23, and March o. The first
three tours will admit of a sQjourn of two
weeks in this delightful land tickets for the
fourth tour will be valid to return until May
81 by regular trains.

York, $500 from Philadelphia, and proper
tionate rates from other points.

A Red-Hot Stove and Small Boy
Cause Trouble.

A loud report. like pistol shot, attracted
the family of Mr.. ]. A. Reese to the kitchen
of the family residence, No. 316 street,
last evening.
The only personin the apartmentwhenth the
family rushed in was Mr.. Recse's 6-year-old
son, and his face wore mingled expression
of fear and surprise. The Child had found
box of 3S-caliber cartridges and placed one
on the red-hot cook stove. 1t exploded, the
missile passing close to the little ones head,
seriously wounding a pet cat, which lay
quietly doing on q chair.
The boy was about to empty the entire
box of cartridges on the stove, whenthe first
exploded. Had he done so. he would no
doubt have been killed in the fusilade Of
shots that would have followed.

YOUNGEST UNION SOLDIER.
The Friends of Policeman Williams
Say He Holds That Honor.

There was publishedin in The Evening Times
yesterday a paragraph stating that Mr.. T.
Burgess enlisted in the Ninety-first Penn
sylvania regiment nj 1861, when he was
but thirteen years Of age, and that he
therefore claims to be the youngest soldier
who served during the war. This claim is
disputed by the friends of Mr.. Daniel Will
Jams, OF the Washington police force, who
is detailed as fine officer at the police
court.
Mr.. Williams enlisted at Camden, N. j.,
in the Twenty fourth New jersey Volun-
teers, when he was but eleven years and
six months of age, or when he was one
year and a half younger than Mr.. Burgess.
Lincoln Post, &. A. r., OF which he is
member, has accorded him the record OF
being the youngest soldier in Uncle Sam's
armies, besides comforting upon him the
complimentary title OF THE Drummer Boy
Fredericksburg" at which saDguinary bat
tie the '.rub-a-dub-dub'' OF Williams drum
could be heard above the din OF cannopade
and musketry, and the shouts Of the victors
in the thickest OF the fray.
Comrade Williams is now engaged in
compiling q history OF deeds of heroism
performed by boys in the Union army dur
ing the war.
