UNFORTUNATE FLORIDA.
Disastrous Effects of the Great Freeze
of Last Year.

1t is only after a visit to Florida that
one appreciates the disastrous effects
of the freeze of last year 1t is the
constantly recurring topic among res
idents 1t left behind il ruin misery
and blasted hopes. Many persons had
invested the savings of a lifetime, all
the money they could borrow or scrape
together, in groves and plantations of
one kind or another. Some had even
mortgaged the growing crop to tide
them over, expecting to find them
selves on the road to fortune when it
was harvested. Then the labor, ex-
penditures and efforts Of years were
literally wiped out in 6. night by the
cold wave which killed off the growing
things and left the land as unproduc-
tive as it was before cultivation be-
gan. The extent of it has not really
been measured yet, for it is possible
that the injured orange and cocoanut
groves and other plantations must all
be planted over again, and the process
of cultivation begun again from the
start, a matter involving years of toll
and expenditure. People in Florida
talk hopefully of the prospect, but there
are many estates for sale, and many
settlers are eager " SSil dt any price
that would enable them to get North
again. A shrewd hard headed Vermont
farmer came, through q complicated
real-estate trade, into possession of a
plantation in the orange belt upon
which the owner had spent S6,000 He
offers the property at $1,000, and says
privately that he would gladly accept
$500 cash for it. He even regrets the
cost of the coat of paint which he put
upon the house to make it more at

EMBARRASSING SITUATION.
Natural Enough Mistake Made by q
Georgetown Young Woman.

The accident happened in George
town about one week ago, and it may
be told briefly as follows:
The two leading characters are q
young woman of % and a young man
of Is, runs a story in the Washington
Star"
As very frequently happens to youth
of these tender years, this one is des-
perately in love with a girl older than
himself. AS is also often the case, a
girl Of p is plenty old enough to be an
eighteen-year-old boys mother, and
this particular girl Is one of the real
old kind. She likes the smooth-faced
boy and treats him pretty much as if
he were her son, taking interest in his
dress, his department, his amusements,
his work and all that sort Of thing She
calls him Harry" too; or would if his
name were Henry, which it isn't, and all
the way through is just the kind of a
girl this kind Of a young fellow falls in
love with
When he is older he will be falling in
love with another kind, but let US not
anticipate.
He is an ambitious boy, and wants to
be man and have whiskers-as what
boy does not? and when he went away
on a two weeks visit, just before the
time Of this episode, he thought he
would give himself a chance.
When he returned home a week ago
the first thing he did was to go and call
on the young woman. She was glad
tc see him and looked him over care
fully and critically to see how he had
stood the excitement of two weeks Of
life outside Of Georgetown.
Excuse, me, Harry" she said, "but
there is little smut on your lip"
The gudleless Harry. knowing her
kindly ministration, whipped out his
handkerchief and essayed to rub it
out.
rs it gone?" he asked, after the man
ner Of those who rub s1nuts off their
faces when reminded to do so by kind
friend.
Let me have your handkerchief" she
replied, and she moistened it on her
pretty lips and gave the smut a rub.
She shook her head, and Harry was
beginning to grow nervous.
Let me have the handkerchief" he
said, and stepped over to a mirror be-
tween the windows.
His face seemed to be familiar to
him, so familiar that he gave gasp al
most OF despair as he turned toward
her.
I'll beg your pardon" he stam-
mered, that's my mustache."
"Oh," she exclaimed, and it was so
terribly embarrassing that she has by
no means yet recovered, notwithstand-
ing Harry has had the smut removed
with a razor.

ORDERS COMING IN.
Stockton Orders 4,2OO Tons OF Rock
From the State Plant.

Orders for rock from the rock crush
ing plant at Folsom are beginning to
come in On Tuesday Stockton sent In
an order for 1000 tons and yesterday
another order for 5000 tons. making
4,200 in all. Marysville has ordered
5000 tons and Vallejo l,OOO
1t had been stated that Sacramento
had ordered no rock as yet, but, as a
matter of fact, had it not been for the
action of Sacramento, the plant would
have been much delayed, to say the
least. The law required that 5O,OOO
tons must be subscribed before it could
become operative and the plant be in
stalled.
Such being the case the City Board
Of Trustees last summer guaranteed
subscription Of 80, 900 tons and the Su-
pervisors subscribed the remaining lo,-
600 tons, thus insuring the starting or
the plant James Touhey will also use
the rock for the foundation of the bit
uminized streets around the Capitol
Park, making them probably the first
ones on which the State rock is used, as
he has been waiting for the starting OF
the State rock crusher.
