wac 10 10 his 1uumG- without clothing
or food he was landed upon the shore,
the boat returned to the mainland, and
the ghoul remained a hopeless exile. He
could not leave the island, because in
slant death would follow should he be
seen by any of the inhabitants Of the
Mormon land Of Zion. He was forced
to seek food and shelter amid wild ami
mails, the birds and reptiles.
The island vas Dol known as the
land Of Punishment. People stunned it's
shores as they would a haunted house.
Many persons were lost upon the lake
while rowing i'll canoes against heavy
winds. The general supposition of all
was that those ~anfortunates drifted to
the island and We're devoured by the
wild man. Even the fearless cowboy
has ever refused to intrude upon the
| home land Of the exile. Wild horses
roam over Its acres of broken canyons,
rugged cliffs and grassy meadows. The
sea gulls and other birds find a home I'M
disturbed on the deserted shores. All
the natives. including Indians, warn
newcomers Of the fate Of scores Of
pleasure seekers who have been drifted
upon the shores Of the fated island. The
crugs, bluffs, dark caverns and lonely
canyons warn every boatman nearing
the slrro to keep away from the hidden
dangers.
II y dark cave about half a mile
from the shore lives the wild man. His
home is strcwn with the wrecks Of
boats, bones Of victims and other can
nibali>tic indications. Away back in
the deep darkness Of the cavern is his
sleeping place, made Of clothing strip
ped from unfortunate victims ship
wrecked on the fatal shore. A collection
of leaves, grasses and branches from the
trees of the island forms the foundation
for the bed, in which this human mon
ster spends most of his time. Several
hunters and explorers have recently
viewed the man. He is described as old,
stopping, destitute of clothing, incapa-
BILE of speech and covered with long
hair. Upon the appearance of man he
utters a wild, weird shrek and rushes
to the cavern, from which he cannot be
induced or forced to return.-San Fran.

Few Florida Oranges.

Indications point to an almost COM
plete failure Of the Florida orange crop
this year. One of the largest fruit i'm
porters in the city said yesterday that
the Florida crop would not be over 1O0,-
900 boxes. whereas an average crop is in
the neighborhood of 5000, 600 boxes.
The cause of the small yield was the
frost of last January, which killed many
fruit trees of all kinds throughout Flor
ida. The scarcity Of oranges will cause
a temporary rise in the price until the
crops from other sections arrive in the
market. The Jamaica orange will arrive
soon after the holidays. Later we will
get the fruit from Sicily, from Valencia,
Spain, and finally from California.
The freight charges and duties on the
foreign products will serve however. to
lieep the prices at a slight advance over
those of former years.-New York Sun.

scare is trotted out in new dress.
While no official statement has been
made to that effect, friends of the adj
ministration say that it has Trustworthy
information that Spain intends to force
a war with this country if her present
campaign against the Cuban revolu.
tionists fail, and that the admipistra
ton is accordingly preparing to fight.
But it isn't at all likely that Spain has
any such intention. There has been
enough to prove to the world that the
men or women, who are running the
government of Spain during the minor
ity of the king, are not models of wis
dom, but that is no reason why they
should be foolish enough to provoke a
war with the United States. 1t may be
that some Spaniards are ignorant
enough to believe that third-class ma
ton, like Spain, is in the same fighting
condition as the United States, but it is
impossible to suppose that men of
sufficient education and intelligence to
be entrusted with the management of
the affairs of the Spanish government,
share such an absurd belief. AT any
rate, there is no reason for anybody to
lose any sleep over the probabilities of
a war with Spain. If the Dons haven't
any better sense that to get up rumpus
with us, they will find that the thrash
ing they will receive will be too sudden
and thorough to be dignified by the
name of war.

The Venezuelan Arbitration,

The possibility of settlement of the
Venezuelan boundary question through
the issue of the negotiations that have
been in progress between the United
States and Great Britain cannot be
fully estimated till the agreement has
been officially disclosed. AS one of
the principals in the dispute, the plan
OF arbitration must be satisfactory to
Venezuela, and is believed to be. The
conditions must be those that the Ven
ezuelan government and people will
accede to before the arbitration is I'M
dertaken, and will abide by when the
board of arbitration hands in its de-
cision.
1t is not likely that the United States
has been proceeding without an under
standing with the country whose cause
she has championed. 1t is unofiicially
announced that the right to all the dis
puted territory west of the Essequibo
river, east as well as west of the Schom-
burgk line, will be submitted to arbi-
tration. The only exception made is
in the case of English settlers whose
occupancy of their lands is of fifty
years duration or more. If this is cor
rect, 1t is believed that no objection to
the plan, on this score, will be made by
Venezuela. More important consider
atoms are, has Venezuela been given
a standing in the board of arbitration
that is consistent with her dignity and
position as one of the principals, and
