FUTURE MUSIC.


FUTURE MUSIC.
In Andropolis the theatre is the main
means of entertainment. The perform
ances are given in the daytime in order
that nobody shall be kept out of bed
after dark. The operas of a long-gone
age are given in one theatre-Bellinis
Mozart's, Wagner's and Rossinfs. At
other theatres there are ethnographical,
astronomical and electrical plays. In
short. the theatre is utilized to give
instruction in every branch of science
and art. An apparatus under every
seat enables the theatre-goer to inten-
sify or moderate the activity of any
sense and to control the action of his
emotions, so that he shall not be moved
to excessive grief or JOY by the de-
velopment of the plot on the stage.
In the museums the betrothed are
amused with examples of the weapons
with which men of the nineteenth CEN
tury, when possessed of the insanity OF
war, were wont to shoot and dig holes
in one another. The weapons are fully
as fantastic as the warship hulks which
had been seen at Spezia, where they
were preserved carefully under cover
as reminders of the amazing savagery
of n long-ago age. The betrothed see
also photographs of the cities and
towns of Mars. Venus and the moon
which have been carefully explored
| with the mighty telescopes of the year
! 5000 They see also the models OF thr
| figures seen moving on the planets
/ these models being formed in accord
| ance with the latest results of astron-
| omical investigation. No communlca-
| ton with the planets has been estab-
| lished.
This romance of the future closes
with a Chapter telling of the visit ol
! the bctrothed couple to the office of tn

Some time ago a minister began preach
ing at Key West and soon became popular.
One of his peculfarities was a fondness for
the young girls of his congregation and he
bestowed upon them considerable of his
time and attention. Their parents and
friends were not suspicious al first and let
the matter go by as only a way he had.
But few days ago things took turn that
convinced parties directly at interest that
the attentions given the young girls was
more than a passing fancy and watch
was set on him. It is enough to say that
evidence was secured on which TO base

left town before it was served, but was
arrested at Tampa and taken back to Key

of cotton: THE cotton market to-day
was broad, active and higher. Liverpool
seems determined to lead the advance,
and under the influence of the big spot
demand there and the Turkish victory at
Larissa eabled us this morning the decid-
edly encouraging news of rize of 4-64d
in that market. The opening here was
strong August selling on the first call at
1889 Crop accounts continue more en-
couraging and Liverpool and New Or
leans both sent heavy selling orders OF
the late months. These orders caused
the market to waver in the early trad
Ing. August declined to 1900, but all the
commission houses were ready buyers and
the bear operators were glad TO cover
their lines. The market advanced grad
ually and closed steady at the top, with
1860 bid for August. We think that the
demand for consumption will force still
higher prices Tomorrow being legal
holiday the exchange will be closed for
the day."

OCALA'S REVIVAL.
Everybody Growing Tobacco and the
Phosphate Mines All Running.

Phosphate Mines All Running.
Ocala, April 25.-The first week has wit
messed the greatest, and, perhaps, the
most beneficial religious meetings ever
held in Ocala, the interest in them being
almost as enthusiastic as are attended the
Sam Jones revivals. The meetings have
been in progress now three weeks.
Rev W. J. Carpenter of Orlando, one of
the ablest ana most eloquent pulpit ora
tors of the Florida Methodist conference.
has been the moving spirit, under whose
persuasive pleadings many souls have pro-
fessed conversion and proclaimed their in
tention of leading a better life, while
many others have connected themselves
with one or the others of the three leading
churches, Methodist, Baptist and Pres
byterian. The meetings were to have
been closed yesterday, but Mr.. Carpenter
could not resist the petitions and supple
ments of our citizens to remain another
week. AT the service this morning in the
Methodist church forty-two new names
were enrolled on the mem bership list
while several others postponed their being
received into the church until next Sab
bath.
The Ocala juvenile tobacco farm is a
new venture, and Master Joe Bell and Lee
Miller, two young lads of about IA sum-
mers will try their luck at growing the
weed. They have about a half-acre and
propose doing the work themselves, as
sited by the advice of MIR. Medero, a TO-
bacco expert Every vacant lot and al
most every house that has a back yard
large enough to turn a six-mule team
around in, is being utilized in the culti-
walton of tobacco, and it is safe to say
there is at least a dozen acres planted in
the weed within the corporate limits of
Ocala.
Nearly all of our phosphate miners
have resumed operations. Several that
have not mined for several years are now
running on full time and the effects are
being felt among our business men in a
very beneficial manner. The greatest
drawback now being the delay in getting
cars for the transportation of the output,
The great need Of banking facilities is an
other difficulty. Now that the mines have
resumed operation and the necessity of
ample banking facilities being forcihIv
brought to the attention of the citizens.
it is believed this difficulty will soon be
overcome, and within a very short tine
another financial institution established
in this city.

rifle for friend, put a new cartridge in

VIII not say that Savannah is not a
handsome city, but our whole country

IMAM handsome cities; dreadful eye-soees
confront US at every turn, and 1t is quite
evident that the great mass of people who
walk our streets are as little able to dis
uhsulsh between handsome and ugly OBJ
1ects as are the horses and dogs who walk
beside them. Now if there is anything
Whlcn distinguishes man from the brute

Is accomplished. And just here is where
the newspaper press can do much by of

serve a good purpose if 1t could be so ar
ranged that the Telfair Museum could be
opened free of charge one day in the

attention more strongly to it's advantages
and the city could well afford the services

OsMAN'S STAND AT PLEVNA.
Career of the New Commander of
Turkeys Forces.

From the New York Sun.
Osman Pasha, who, the dispatches say,
has been sent to the front. to replace
Edhem Pasha in the command of the
Turkish forces in Macedonia, has been re-
nowned rather as a defensive than as an
offensive soldier. In defense he has been
considered one Of the greatest generals of
Europe since the seige of Plevna, in the
Russo-Turkish war, when he held the
town for more than four months against
the Russians and Roumanians. He is not
ed for GOODNESS IN his military operations.

teristic fanatlcism OF the Ottoman soldiery
He is, besides, frugal. lie is 81 years of
age, which is not old for a fighting man
among the Turks when compared with
Hafiz Pasha. who was killed on Tuesday
after being wounded three times, and who.
although SO years old had refused 20 stay

The long siege which Osman Pasha sus.
