ARTHUR SEwALL.

Sewall has led the country in designs
for merchant vessels, and to-day the
house of Sewall & Sons owns the larg-
est sailor merchantmen afloat.
The Sewalls are an old and we'll
known family on both sides of the wa
ter. The first American Sewall came
to this countryin 1864. James Sewai,
grandfather of the ship-builder, fought
in the revolution. He went from York,
Me-, to Bath, in 1862, and purchased the
tract of land on which TO this day is
located the Sewall ship-yards and the
houses of the Sewall family.
1t is now II years since the Sewalls
began building ships, and during that
time they have owned 95 of them.
In politics Mr.. Sewall has been life
long democrat. He never voted any
other ticket, and for the past eight
years has been Names representative
on the democratic national committee
until a few days ago, when DR.. S. Fl. C.
Gordon succeeded him. He was an
original Cleveland man and followed
the career of the Buffalo statesman up
until q couple of years ago, notwith-
standing the fact that he shared some
thing of the protection views of the late
Samuel j. Randall. Ever since the
greenback victory which swept over
Maine Mr.. Sewan has been close stu
dent of the financial question.
1t was Mr.. Sewall's free coinage pro-
clivities which led his fellow delegates
to leave him off the national commit
tee.
In 1859 Mr.. Sewall married Emily
Duncan Crookes, daughter of prom
inent citizen of Bath. Three children
were born to them, Harold NJ. Sewall,
former oonsul-general to Samoa, Will
liam d. Sewali, a junior member of the
shipbuilding firm, and Dummer Sewall,
who died in infancy. Harold Sewall
was sent to Samoa at the time of the
Samoan outbreak, by President Cleve-
land. Later he became a republican
and at the recent convention in st.
Louis he headed Reed republican club
from Bath.

gresham. 1t is not the face he wore as
editor. 1t is the face that came to him
when he stood up in the Coliseum and
knew that the climax of his life was at
hand. The old-time smile, says the
Chicago Times-Herald, left William
Jennings Bryan forever when he began
to make that speech. The soft lines of
his kindly countenance were wiped
out, and in their place came those that
are here to-day-those that mean trag-

Marguerite Folsom in Charge of the

The Folsom habeas corpus case was
concluded this morning by Judge
Camp, who decided that Marguerite
Folsom be placed in st. Joseph's con-
vent until Probate court convenes,
when application can be made in that
court for the appointment of a guard
ian. Marguerite is 16 years old, and,
according to law, can select her own
guardian. Her mother, Mrs. Minnie
j. Folsom, placed her in the convent
about a week ago and paid two weeks
board for her. When that time ex-
pires some other arrangement will
probably be made. Marguerite sug-
gested that DIR. NJ. j. Bleim be appoint
ed her guardian.
Jet Albright testified today as to the
character of Mrs. Folsom. He spoke
very highly of her. He denied that
she ever paid fine for him.

Fuel in Florida.

Fuel in Florida is very plentiful
now but what of the future? Since
it is abundant, people are rather
reckless in the use of it, or rather
land owner give it thought and at
tention that there need not be a
wanton destruction. First the trees
that are cut into stove wood, the
chips and small branches are most
excellent for kindling fire and should
be provided in place of kerosene for
lighting fires, then the pine burrs or
cones that drop from the trees make
good kindling as we'll, and a very
pretty fire in the open fire place.
These three different materials can
be easily gathered and stored for
beauty of our homes by gathering
the underbrush and fallen branches
and convert them to good use.
In clearing your land do not allow
the brush and stumps burned for
this a reckless waste. If you do not
care for them for your own use or
cannot sell, give them to those too
poor to buy who would be glad to
cart them away in order to have
them. If you have too much timber
to remain standing some of it will
sell for building purposes, but it
might be well to leave some standing
for future use or shade.
There are no coal fields in Florida
and to transport it from the north
ern fields will be expensive, hence it
is well to use wisely what we have
an abundance of within our borders,
that it may last much longer.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-12-23

the same can be said of the trout,
and many other varieties of table
fish that are common food to our
people, but rare delicacies to other
sections of the country.
With the growth of refrigerating
facilities in transportation, which
proves itself day by day, Florida fish
cries must become institutions of ma
tional Importance. The fish are here
for the killing, but heretofore there
has been no profitable channel
through which they could be trans
ported to the markets in which there
was steady demand for them. In
time, it is easy to see that, instead
of constituting a source of sport to
those who live upon large fixed in
comes, and a source of sustenance to
the poorer classes who make of them
a chief article of diet, the Florida
fish will one day become one of the
states most profitable products. The
supply is practically inexhaustible.-

A Time to Advertise.

Last winter a movement of popu-
lation from the northwest to the
south began, and attained sufficient
volume to attract a great deal of at
tention. Many causes operated to
bring this about, and they are all
operative still to a greater degree
than ever.
In the west good crop years had
long resulted in low prices. If the
farmers then secured a good price
for their products it was because
their crops had been almost COM
plete. Prices of the leading crops of
the west are lower now than they
were last year. There is little diff
ference in the price of wheat, and
that little is a gain, but the loss on
corn and oats is decided.
The truth of the business is that
year in and year out the farmers
have no such opportunities in the
west as they have in the south. In
the south there is a possibility of the
greatest diversity Of crops, and this
insures reasonable prices. The farm
ers of the south can produce almost
everything they need, and by doing
so and limiting their cotton product
they can command for it a reasona-
BILE price at all times
These advantages of the south are
now we'll understood, and are oper-
ating to attract immigrants.

The orange trees have made such

particularly in the vicinity of Day

more encouraged than ever, and

ton with more favor. But the ma

to make a success.
A few years ago one grower in the
state cow penned his grove and near
ly killed it. The Florida Agriculture
list sent a reporter down to investi-
gate and in the next issue of the pa

and how long the cattle were kept in
it. The average was one COW to a
