Tours to Florida.

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
and unhealthful changes of the North
seems almost ethereal it is pre-eminent-
ly 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 con-
ceivable variety, from the migratory
tribes common to Northern waters to
the tarpon, pompano and others Of a
more tropical character. Nowhere in
all our broad land can the angler find a
greater variety of game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic
hunter finds safety. Deer, turkey,
bears, panthers, and wild cats roam at
large through the more sparsely settled
regions, while birds OF all kinds may be
found in abundance throughout the
State. The more. novel sport of alliga-
tor an manatee hunting may also be
indulged in by the more adventurous
tourist.
With its matchless 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,
To this attractive State the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has arranged
four personally-conducted tours during
the season of 1897, leaving by special
train January 26, February 9 and %,
and March 9. The first three tours will
admit of sojourn of two weeks in this
delightful land; tickets for the fourth
tour will be valid to return until May
81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, $4,000 from
New York, $500 from Philadelphia,
and proportionate rates from other
points.
For tickets, itineraries, and other
information, apply to ticket agents,
special booking offices, or address Geo.

The True Remedy.

"Chief," says: 1--WE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used DR..
Kings New Discovery. No other
remedy can take its place in our home,
as in it we have certain and sure cure
for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc. -
1t is idle to experiment with other
remedies, even If they are urged on you
as just as good as DR.. Kings New Dis
covery. They are not as good, because
this remedy has a record Of cures and
besides is guaranteed. 1t never fails to

The babbling tongue runs race with
the ilattering one, neck and neck, while
the thoughtless one sets them all

While there are scores Of evil tongues,
there are many who endeavor to coun-
teract the evil that they do. There
are tongues, who, il they cannot speak
well of their neighbor, keep silent. The
tongue of good report is amongst them.
The tongues that give sympathy in dis
tress; cheer the down-hearted; bring
sunshine to the heart, and strive to do
good in this world, trying hard to mas
ter their opponents. They are like
angels sent down from Heaven. Don't
turn deaf ear to these-listen to them
and their pleadings.

WANT A NEW CONSTITUTION.
Committees of Two Alabama organiza-
 tions Are st Work

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Dot. 29.-The special committee appointed at its re- cent state convention by the Alabama Commercial association to push the mat ter of state constitutional convention with a view to framing new constitu- tion, with an educational qualification for voters and change in the taxing methods, whereby local option in taxa tion can prevail for school and other purposes, met here and was organized by the election of H. L. Mckee of Selma, chairman. An executive con- mittee was appointed, which committee will open correspondence with the mem- bers of the legislature and people in every county with view to further new constitution. It was decided to organize subcommittees in each county to frame memorials to the legislature to contain as many signatures as can be obtained.
 The constitutional convention com- mittee of the Alabama Educational as- sociation, at a meeting here, also deter mined to publish memorial to the peo- pie of Alabama, setting forth the ne- cessity of a new constitution to secure better educational facilities. This fully inaugurates the movement for a oonsti- tutional convention. It is believed that Governor elect Johnson will in his first message to the legislature in December favor the project strongly, and that the legislature will act favorably on the subject

Candidate Bryan and Mrs. Bryan were in a carriage near the head of the parade, but the eggs did not come near them and were thrown generally at the parade
 The eggs were thrown from the Met ropolitan Business college situated on the fifth floor of the Powers building. MT. Powers, the owner of the building, is president of the college. Mir.

WEYlER INTERVIEWED.
He Tells a Newspaper Reporter Abou
 the Cuban War.

 He Tells a Newspaper Reporter About
 the Cuban War.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 29--A dispatch to The Herald from Havana says that in an interview General Weyler was asked by that newspapers correspondent last night:
 What do you think about the pros poets of putting down the insurreetion in the province of Pinar del Rio?'
 The general replied that he thought the chances were excellent for the com plete success of the Spanish army in that province. He had been of this opinion for sometime, he said, and the recent victories of Gen Munoz at Cacar- rajacta aud of General Arolas at Arte- misa had only confirmed him in his be- lief of freeing this province of all in- surgents.
 ''Is it fact that you have decided to take the field in person, General Wey- ler?" asked the correspondent
 ''There is nothing absolutely nothing decided on that subject here in Havana. l am in telegraphio communication with my generals everywhere and can direct the movements of all my forces. Here l can follow the course of events, both political and ordinary. I also believe that my best work could be done here.
 Here can better direct operations Here have in my hands the control of the telegraphs, heliographs, railroads and steamships-in fact, everything which can further my efforts to bring the war to a close. Once in the field, my scope would be limited to that of a command of an army corps.
 'Still, if the exigen oies of the situa- tion should, in my opinion, demand my taking the field, shall not hesitate to do so, but any definite statement to that effect is, to say the least, premature.
 In reply to question about the pro- ceeding against the Competitor prison. CTS General Weyler explained that al present simply preliminary hearing had been accorded, the nature of which would not be made public. When the military tribunal should begin the regu. lar inquiry the testimony taken, the general said, would be given out.
