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-eminently a 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 conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory 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 greater variety Of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears. panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
spsrsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing aud hunting, aud its
extensive forests, Florida presents unIivaled
attractions for the Yaletudinarian, the lover
Of nature, the sportsman and the explorer.
70 this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per
sonally-conducted tours during the season Of
1897 leaving by special train January 20.
February 8 and 20, and March o. 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

PRETORIA, Transvaal, jan Upon the
occasion of the New Years we'll wishers
calling at the presidency to offer Presi-
dent Kruger their congratulations, Judge
Jorrison made a speech, in the course of
which he said that the gratitude which
his counUrymen felt at the delvorance
from the attack upon the Independence of
the country was mingled with fears for
the future. He proceeded to complain bit
terly that the republic had been insulted
by the ovations accorded in Cape Colony
to Cecil Rhodes, who, said the speaker,
twas undoubtedly the chief criminal in
the despicable assault upon our country
This is an insult to you, to us and to the
whole republic" Cecil Rhodes has been
welcomed with unbounded enthusiasm at
Cape Town, where 5000 persons joined in
singing "God Save the Queen" A gigun-
tic banquet i'm honor of Rhodes has been
fixed for next Tuesday.

IT is easy to attach more significance to
the bank wrecks in Chicago, St. Paul, Min

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed in
the spring, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of tonic and altera-
tive is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act more
