NEW SHIP CANAL
To Be Built Across the Peninsula of Florida
 Will Prove of Great Value.

New York, Sept. 9-Articles have been fiied with County Clerk Purroy for the incorporation of the Florida Trans-P h. insular Ship Canal company. The chief incor'porators are Robert May Caffall, Freeman H. Baldwin. H. Bolet Peraza, consul-general for the Greater republic, of Central America in this city; Thomas F. Cromwell and rFancis P. Fleming. The capital is $75,Oo0,OOO The projectors have in mind the building of a ship canal and railway to connect the Atlantic with the gulf, The new canal will be of suffi-' cient capacity for the passage of ocean, going vessels
 Consul-General Peraza today said: t'
 ''Ihe new canal will be of great advau- tage for the defnce of the country in the case ofan intelrnal war as it would also be of the greatsst commercial benefit in times of peace. It will shorten the time of vessels going to Texas or Mex ico by three days. The waters around the southern coast of Florida ar very treacherous owing to the curious cur rents. All this danger will be done away with. We expect that 15,0OO,O 900 tons of freight will pass through the canal each year and even light tolls on this will make the enterprise pay. We haya applied for the charter and will probably get it next month. As soon as it is is- sued we will begin work.
 MT. Caffall, our civil engineer, has already surveyed the ground and all arr engagements have been made to push the work"
 The consul general further said that the ha,rbor of St Augustine would be the eastern entrance to the new canal. The width of the waterway will be 200 feet through its entire length and it will be deep enough to allow the largest ship to pass there. It will probable b. about five years before the canal is finished.

Star" may not be known by the unini-

a name for a women's fraternity is no
secret. The star is q symbol of high

women possess. 1t is brighter and great
err than it seems, like woman's nature;
it is mysterious and. like woman's ways,
past finding out; it sparkles like
woman's wit, and is as constant as her
love; it is brightest in the dark, like
woman's devotion in times of sorrow (;
it is a guide to mariners, as the light
from a good woman's heart is the best
guide to him who would sail a straight
course on the sea of life.
