Tho state of Florida has the very proud
est Of Populist Legislatures. II gulps at
railroad corporations with voracty that
is calculated 20 mako all other Populist
bodies blush for their timidity. 1t has
exceeded the triumph Of Texas law in an
act % tcrrorize railroad investments with
in its boundaries. The now railroad law in
Florida represents the very genius Of stat
utory enactment for the crushing and wip-
ing out of railroad enterprise. by law
IL has created state railroad commission
of practically unlimited power to attend
TO somebody else's business. The commits.
sion can fix rates, order the construction
of passenger stations and has authority to
regulate railway schedules, and 10 say at
what timo trains must arrive at and de
part from given point. To the COM
mission, which Is composed Of lawyer,
a railroad man and "a farmer, must be re-
ported every transaction made In the
courss of business. and books must bo
kept open for their inspection. The rail
roads are also required TO notify the com
mission of every free pass they issue and TO
whom. In short, the commission is tho
absolute arbiter OF the railroad business
In Florida, leaving the owners but little
more privilege than the paying of salaries
and even that privilege is slightly trencacd
upon. because tho companies ara required
70 report their salary list TO the commits

may go round briskly In Florida save

Interesting Notes From

Facts About Uncle Sans
Damaged Postage Stamps.
Valuable Info nation For the Fair
Daughter, OF ihe North.

WASHINGTON. July IL. - Special. -
Many complaints have reached the post
Office department. during the past month
concerning the quality Of the adhesive gum
used on postage stamps. In the excessively
hot weather which has prevailed through
out the country many business firms and
individuals have suffered loss or annoy
anoe through the sticking of postage stamps
to other objects than the letters for which
they were intended. Every one knows how
provoking IL is 10 buy lot of stamps at
postoflice or agency and to find them all
run together when they are wanted for use.
IT is believed that II better quality OF ad-
hesive glue were used there would be less
trouble of this sort. The postoilice depart
ment has authority TO redeem spoiled post
age stamps, and in an average year $780,
900 worth Of damaged stamps are replaced
by new ones. But the authority To do this
does not extend 10 stuck" stamps, only
to those whose face has been ink marked or
accidentally Cancelled so that they could
not be accepted in the mails.

A Decided Attraction,

Among tho Chattanooga gentlemen who
escorted the presidential party over the
field of Chickamauga it was discovered that
of nine in one group seven wero from the
state Of Ohio and all seven had served In
tho Union army, most OF them having
been present at tho battle Of ChickamauGa.
"IIow do you account FOR so many Ohio
soldiers coming back 10 Chattanooga after
the war was over to End honest" asked.
"Well, guess 80 was in part because we
liked the scenery Of this beautiful spot,
replied one of tho gentlemen, "but in my
case l am willing TO confess that IL was
southern girl. / met her while was sol
dicrng hero, and l told her that after the
war was over and the rebels bad been
whipped I should come bncS TO claim her.
She said tho rebels mover would bo whip
ped and that IL they woro and came back
here sho wouldn't speak to me. She was
so much of southern woman that one
day sho was up there on Lookout noun.

"And you camc bacS after tho war was
over?'
Eyes, and the girl said that inosmuch
as all the Other Confoderates had surreD
dercd she was going to stay with them ana
surrender too. We have been married now
for n quarter Of n century"
This littc story brought out the inter
esting fact that of the seven Ohio men who
had returned 20 Chattanooga after spend
ing some time there as soldiers i've had
been lurcd back 10y the wiles Of Tennessee
maidens whom they had met while doing
duty as young soldiers In the town between
tho hills. To this day ono can understand
why n man would be willing TO give up
his home and his family and his party and
II necessary conceal his convictions In order
to take as wife one of those fair southern
girls.
Tho Clories Of Dixie.
1t IL rather odd, though, and Of the fact
am assured by good many people In
Nashville, Chattanooga and other southern
cities, that The southern young men havea
weakness for northern girls. Whenever n
northern Girl goes south TO visit relatives
she may as we'll make up her mind that
she Is going 90 ho married. 10 would DO
ungallant TO say that northern girls pur-
posely hunt up southern relatives and hint
for an invitation 20 pay them visit, but
The large numbCr or matrimonial ventures

Uncle Sans Finest.

Uncle Sam has very nice little trust In
tho postage stamp business, and he ought
TO turn out more satisfactory article.
At the present time the cost of manufac-
turing and delivering postage stamps to
any part of the country is only cents per
thousand, and as 200 twos are worth $50
IL Is easy TO see that the government has q
wide margin Of profit. Notwithstanding
the apparent difficulty of working off to
advantage bogus stamps, frequent attempts
are made 10 produce counterfeit postage
stamps. The secret service makes II mum
ber Of arrests every year for this oifense.
In single year the bureau of engraving
and printing here turns out more than
ESQ 200, 600 worth Of stamps, and about
el2, 100000 worth Of stamped envelopes
arc also used. It ~ a remarkable fact that
there Is enough carelessness in this coun-
try To make it possible for tho government
10 sell in a single year $3.50, 600 worth Of
postage due stamps, principally ones and
twos.
