FlORlDA'6 EVERGLADES.
Tho Vast Dismal Waste No Terror TO the
Seminole Indians.

The southern extremity Of the peninsula
Of Florida is one huge marsh Of Forest mud
and jungle, known as the Everglades The
swamp proper has an area of about 5000
square miles, which Is drained by Lake
Okechobee, and it covers nearly the entire
counties Of Dade and Monroe Ind a portion
of Manatee.
The geological substructure must be
coral, as nearly the entire state Is built
upon such foundation, but above this the
miry hogs Of ooze and water of unknown
depths forbid investigation and explora-
ton, and in consequence there are regions
In the interior no human foot has yet trod
and lagoons that no human eye has ever
seen.
The only human beings that can enter
the Everglades either in winter or summer
without fear of annoyance or disaster are
the Seminole Indians, who claim this vast,
dismal waste as their birthright. Mos
quitoes and reptiles have few terrors for
them, and as for the heat of midsummer,
it seems that the hotter 1t gets the better
they like it. There arc about 500 of these
interesting natives loft, who In bands OF
from 40 to so have heretofore led nomadio
life, living for the most part by hunting
and fishing, and In few cases cultivating
small patches Of ground. Tho bucks also
gain small income by killing and selling
plume birds, and the squaws by weav-
ing fancy basket and fern work from the
material so ready at hand.
These Indians live under the name Of
Seminoles, but have their own tribal
chief under separate tribal name, such as
the Miamis, Tallahassees, Cow Creeks, Cy-
presses, etc.. and are undcr the control OF
a chief chosen annually at tho green
corn dance, which is In reality the red
mans Christmas, or yearly season of jollity
and plenty.
The whole nation, however, acknowl-
edges the general sovereignty of Robert
Osceola, grandson of the famous half
breed Powell, better known as Osceola.
They are clean people, both personally
and morally, and punish unchastity IN
their women, whether married or single,
with death A marriage between persons
having o drop Of tho same blood in their
veins Is considered highly improper, and as
there are not more than 500 all told, count
ing men, women and children, a young
fellow matrimonially inclined has to do
some tall hustling to get a wife.
One we'll to do buck has two rather
pretty daughters, who can't get married
because all the eligible young men are akin
to them. So rigidly Is this rule carried out
that you may sometimes see husband OF
30 with a 6O-year. old wife, or vice versa.
A half breed Is unknown among them.
Hunters and sportsmen are gradually en-
croaching on their rights, and SO the Semi
mole begins to nurture hatred for the
white man and isolates himself moro and
more by retiring to the innermost fast
nesses of the Everglades, where he chooses

POlITENESS.
Tho British Article as Contracted With
French and spanish Samples.

Tho British Article as Contracted Win
French and Spanish Samples.
The French have for long been esteemed
a polite nation, and so they are as far as
outward forms are considered, but most
travellers will agree that except within
certain circles, there is more genuine cour-
tesy to be found between man and man IN
Britain than in France. The average
Frenchman will be profuse in the bows
which he will make on meeting an &C.
auaintance, but he will often not hesitate,
should the occasion arise, to sacrifice 9TH
ers to his own personal comfort. l have
seen foreigners ct q public entertainment
mako ladies rise by bowling to them and
then deprive them of their seats In the
most polite and graceful manner. An Eng
lishman, on the other hand, will often DO
a really kind hearted deed in such an
abrupt and awkward fashion as almost to
give it the appearance of an insult.
The Spaniard habitually places his house
and everything In it at the disposal OF his
guest but he would be greatly astonished
II he were taken at his word. A stranger
calls upon Spaniard when he is at din
ner. The latter invites the stranger to
dine with him or offers him something
which he may have admired, but unless
the dinner or article Is much pressed the
invitation and the offer must be regarded
in the light of mere polite phrases. Under
similar circumstances the Briton would
either not make the invitation or offer, or,
II he did, would do all he could to render
the dinner or the gift acceptable to the
stranger and would endeavor to escape be-
ing thanked, whereas the Spaniar expects
verbal gratitude for the offer he has no IN
tention of fulfilling
SO far do we carry this dislike OF phrase
making that some English men and wom-
en- find it very difficult to give expression
to the genuine gratitude they feel for real
benefits received, and there are some men
whose modesty is so perverted that they
would apparently almost rather be accused
of doing something positively wrong than
be suspected Of having yielded to kindly
sentiment. Century.

Although the returns from Nebraska are
fragmentary and may remain incomplete for
two or three days, enough is known TO war;
rant the conclusion that Nebraska has been
carried for Mr.. Bryan and the fusion state
ticket, by majorties ranging from 5000 to
5000. The vote for presidential electors on
both the republican and fusion tickets Is
considerably heavier than that given to
candidates for state Offices and congress-
men. Holcomb will run from 500 to $500
lower than Bryan. and the candidates on
the fusion state ticket will not quite reach
the vote for Holcomb. This is also true as
regards the vote for MacColl and the repub-
litan state ticket as compared with tho
Mckinley electors.
1t is notable that the republican strong
holds, including Douglas, Lancaster, Gage,
Pawnee and Saline counties, have all shown
a very decided falling OF. while the demo-
cratic and populist counties have not only
held their own but in many cases have ex-
ceeded their strength of two years ago. Had
the counties which have heretofore been
reliably republican polled their usual ma
iorities. Mckinley and the whole republican
ticket would undoubtedly have carried the
state by handsome majorlties, as was an
tcipated by the republican campaign man.

near as can be ascertalned the republicans
will have eleven senators and forty-one
members OF the house, while the fusionists

BRYAN WATCHES Returns CLOSELY.
Defeated Candidate stiIl Hopes He
May he Pulled Through.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 4.--Mr Bryan to-
night gave out the following, in reply to
numerous kilograms from all parts of the
country:
THE democratic national committee
claims enough states to give a majority in
the electoral college. but the vote is very
close in several of the states. and the result
cannot be positively known until the entire
vote is counted. In all close contests IL is
wise for both sides to watch the returns to
guard against the possibility Of mistake, in
territorial or unintentional."
Mr. Bryan dictated this statement to
typewriter. When pressed to give something
more to the public, he declined to talk
saying he could not give utteTance to his
thoughts as to the result, outline his
future course, until the outcome should be
definitely known.
He read all bulletins with interest. but
in reply TO questions said he was not al
lowing the uncertainty" to give him the
least degree of worry. He was especially
gratihed at the result in Nebraska and took
occasion to earnestly congratulate the chair
men OF the various county and state com
mittees located in Lincoln on their work
in the city and throughout the state. Dur
ing the afternoon Mr. Bryan attended the
funeral of an old friend and he spent the
evening with his callers.

Latest Information of the Election in
Convenient Form.

Convenient Form.
CHICAGO New. 4.-The returns from the
entire country. although incomplete in some
states. are OF a nature to insure the election
of William Mckinley. A sufficient number
of states have declared for the republican
party to make certain 264 votes In the cleo
toral college for its leader. The states whose
votes are sure for him are as follows: Elec-
toral votes-California, 3; Connecticut, g.;
Delaware. 3; Illinois, "a; Indiana, 10; Iowa
lS; Maine, 6; Maryland, S; Massachusetts
Is; Michigan. Il; Minnesota, 8; New Hamp-

The returns show some interesting fea-
lures and in some respects have been sur
prise to the leaders OF both political parties.
The New England states have was ex-
peeted, given heavy pluralities for McKin-
ley without exception. The republican ticket
was successful in Massachusetts, beyond
what was claimed for II by the most en-
thusiastic prophet OF republican success.
New York and Pennsylvania We'd with each
other for the largest plurality and the figures
at hand do not indicate which OF them has
surpassed the other. Each state has given
the republican candidate a plurality OF be-
tween 275 900 and 2S0, 900.
To these states Illinois is a good third In
fits plurality for the winning candidate. II
the percentage OF gain over the presidential
election OF 1892 that has so far been shown
continues 10 the end II will give plurality
OF not far from 49, 900. In the gubernatorial
race Altgeld has been badly defeated but is
not buried so deep and is probably about
co 900 ahead OF the democratic national
ticket There has been evidently a large
vote cast throughout the state for McKin-
ley and Altgeld.
