A GOOD-SIZED CROP.

Florida's orange crop for 1S97-9S VII!
soon be going forward to market, and
a good many estimates are being made
as to what the crop will figure up
Last season it amounted to about 125,-
900 boxes. That was thee first year
fruit after the freeze, and the crop was
accordingly very small, especlaliy
when it is recollected that the produc'
Of the State had been numbered IN mil
lions ratherthan in thousands OF boxes
Acareful estimate made by gentle
man who is we'll informed as to the
crop throughout the State places 1t II
round numbers at about 100000 boxes
It is believed that these figures are
conservatives, and that the crop VII
go above rather than below the figures
named.

HOW LUCIFER MATCHES CAME

HOW LUCIFER MATCHES CAME.
Sir Isaac Holden Probably was the
Inventor.
Tt was not generally known, until
the St. James Gazette recently pub
lished the fact, that we are indebted to
Sir Isaac Holden for the invention OF
one of the most useful convenlences OF
daily life-the lucifer match. Such,
however, according to Sir /. Holden's
own statement, appears to be the fact.
The story of the discovery was thus
told by Sir Isaac before select COM
mittee of the House Of Commons:
sT began as an inventor on a very
small scale. For what l know, l was
the first inventor of lucifer matches;
hut it was the result Of a happy
thought. In the morning l used to get
up at o'clock in order to pursue my
studies. and I used at that time the
flint and steel, in the use OF which
found very great Inconvenience.
gave lectures in chemistry at the time
at a very large academy. Of course,
knew. as other chemists did, the ex-
plosive material that was necessary in
order to produce instantaneous hght;
but it was very difficult to obtain l1ghl
on wood by that explosive material, ano
the idea occurred to me to put under
the explosive mixture sulphur. die
that, and published it in my next lee
ture, and showed it. There was
young man in the room whose father
| was a chemist in London, and he I'M
mediately wrote to his father about 1t
and shortly afterward lucifer matches
were issued to the world. [ bel1ev'
that was the first occasion that we hat
the present lucifer match, and it wa!
| one of those inventions that some PEG
] pie think ought not to be protected o!
a patent"

HAS CONE To H|L0
Mr.. James T. Stacker Ac.
cepts New Position.
Former Associates on Advertiser
Present Him With an
Umbrella.

Mr.. James t. Stacker, for the past
two years City Editor Of the Adver
tiser, left on the kinau yesterday for
Hilo, to become the Editor of the Ha-
wall Herald. He will enter upon the
duties of his new position Immediately.
Mr.. Stacker's ability as a news
gatherer and writer, an all-round
newspaper man, made him valuable
man for the Advertiser He had the
faculty of making many friends, whose
esteem he won, and of gaining the con-
fidence of business men and Govern
ment officials who knew that they
could discuss their affairs with him
freely, traits absolutely essential to
success as a newspaper man.
His ability was recognized in other
parts of the Islands as we'll as in Homo
| lulu, and when, on recent visit to
Hilo, the owners of the Hawaii Herald
made him a better offer to become
that papers editor than the ones pre-
viously made, he accepted, and at once
resigned his position on the Advertiser
He leaves many friends among the
and the Honolulu public.
Previous to Mr.. Stacker's departure
for Hilo yesterday morning, the en-
ployes of the Gazette Company pre-
scented him with an umbrella as re
membrance of his work with them ane
reminder that there is not Away:
sunshine on the big Island. On thu
handle of the umbrella was engraved
the following: presented to James L
Stacker by the employees of the Hawai-
ian Gazette Company, Ltd, Novembe
2, 1897"
Mr.. C. G. Ballentyne, Manager OF tn
Gazette Company made an approprlat
speech and also presented Mr.. Stacke
with the following letter, printed o.
satin:
Honolulu, H. l., Nov. 2, 1897.
|. "Mr. J. T. Stacker,
: Dear Sir and Friend: Your asse
ciates in the service of the Havana
\ Gazette Company regret very niue
the termination of our close pleasar
| relations. We wish to cOngratula'
YOU upon your election to a higher p'
sition and upon the prospects Whlc
we are confident your ability will tut
IT to advantage. We have found you
d friend worth having and as a sligl
evidence of the esteem in which v
hold you we ask you to accept II
token here presented With it go

HOW TO CURE BILIOUS COLO.

I suffered for weeks with collie and
pains in my stomach caused by bilious
ness and had to take medicine all the
while until l used Chamberlain Collie
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy which
cured me. I have since recommended
it to a good many people, MRS. F.
BUTLER, Fairhaven, Conn. Persons
who are subject to bilious collie can
ward off the attack by taking this rem
edy as soon as the first symptoms ap-
pear. Sold by all druggists and deal

her not to be afraid because he was sure
her mother would forgive her.
