JARS FILLED WITH GoLD.-Henry
Moore, of Peekskill, n. Y, who died
recently, was an undertaken and car
ried his bank account in his pocket.
He left no will and his unknown assets
were found TO be about 1900. His wife
died soon after, bequeathing her estate
to her son.
The appraisers while examining the
premises where Mr. and Mrs. Moore
lived discovered several fruit jars filled
with gold, amounting in value to over
$4,000 The point now to be decided
by the Surrogate is whether the money
belonged to Henry Moore or his wife,
as no reference is made to it in the will
left by Mrs. Moore.

FLED FROM THE KAISER.

O.to Schoen, young Berlin archi.
tect of ability and good family, fl d
from his native land four weeks ago in
fear of the wrath Of his Emperor. OPP
posite the imperial palace at Potsd, N
ne had begun to build res aurant aud
concert nall one story higher than the
palace Mr.. Scboen is now boarding al
No. Ala Lexington avenue, awaiting in-
formation from his wife, who is still in
Berlin, as to whether it would be ad-
visable for him to return.
When he arrived here he resolved to
become an American citizen and have
his family join him but mature reflection
has convinced him that he acted hastily
in running away. The facts in this singu-
lar case are as follows: Schoen was en-
ployed to plan and build magnificent
restaurant and concert hall opposite or
near to the Kaiser's palace at Potsdam.
Without intending disrespect. he drew
plans which provided for building
one story higher than the Emperor's.
When the building authorities learn
ed of this they stopped the work
on Schoen's building, telling him that
he was beside himself with impertin-
ence to dream of putting up structure
that should overtop the palace.
That day, while at dinner in res
taurant, Schoen aired his injured feel
iugs, bluntly declaring that the conduct
of the authorities was infamous. The
next day he was summoned before the
Lieutenant of Police of that district,
who told him that his remark in tie
restaurant had been overhead, and that
he stood guilty of having insulted bis
Emperor, the penalty efor which WAS
Imprisonment and possibly worse.
Schoen was frightened and asked the
lieutenant what he should do. The
latter assured him that his safest course
would be to fly to a foreign country.
So Schoen, leaving wife and family,
took ship at Antwerp and sailel for
New York. He believes that he would
have been ruined and his property con-
fscated had he remained in Berlin.
Schoen has three sisters in this coun-
try, two of whom have achieved prom
inence in the University of Minneapolis,
where the elder sister teaches languages
and the younger teaches music.-N. Y.

THE MAN ON THE STREET.

Did you know that dr. ess-making is
one of the important industries of our
town. It's q fact however, and our
matua makers are behind with
orders at all times of the year, and to
get new dress made or an old one
fixed over" the women are compelled
to place their orde. sometimes month
in advance. Now, with the men it is
different. Three clothing stores and
two merchant tailors are sufficient to
keep the sterner sex in clothes, and
then there are times in the year when
trade is dull, consequently it is evident
that women spend more time and
money in the purchasing and manufac-
turing of clothing, to say nothing
about the millinery, than do the men.
] am not able to tell just exactly what
per cent. difference there is, but tho
facts are pretty sure indicators.

While waiting for the promised wave
OF prosperity, l will note down for the
benefit of your readers the condition
and prospects relative to Florida.
As in all lands the weather claims
attention first, and | will say it has
been quite warm, the thermometer
registering 96 on several different days
and the need of rain has been severely
felt by many, especially those who had
young trees planted, but today we had
a fine rain of one and six -tenths inches
falling in one and one-fourth hours.
A very large quantity of pears have
been shipped from this vicinity to New
York. Your former townsman, w. B.
Follansbee being one of the lucky ones,
being clear up to his chin in the swim.
There will be large quantity Of to-
bacco produced here this season. 1t
has been found that we can produce as
fine grade of wrapper leaf as can be
produced in Cuba and with less ex-
pense, and at no remote day Florida
tobacco will stand side by side with
the orange industry. Many are of the
opinion that the former will be greatly
ahead OF the latter within few years.
We have a few rattlesnakes here,
just enough to make us think snake. A
young lady killed one here a short
time since that measured seven feet,
nine inches, exclusive of the head.
Last week young man near here
killed two bears and his father one thus
your professed "Nimrods" in the north
can't fling mud at us because we have
no game.
A young man living near Francis,
was attacked by an alligator while in
bathing. but was plucky enough to
show fight and the "gator" concluded
to leave for parts unknown, but was
promptly caught and beheaded for his
crimes.
Don't for a moment think that all we
have here are bears, snakes and gators
We are blessed with many things bear-
tiful, orange trees bending to the
ground under their load of fruit, pine
apple plantations with their thousands
of pines which ire now going on the
market and many other things 60 to
make up the pleasant side of life in the
land of flowers.
Land is cheap and plenty and none
need suffer for the good things of this
life. All it needs is a little application
of labor backed up with disposition
to do so, and success is sure. Here is
the place for the poor man to live, and
the place for the well-to-do man to
take comfort. Come if you want to
and you will be welcome.

wellington Did Not Celebrate.

The 9th of July being the day on
which most places commemorated the
Declaration of Independence, was
very quiet and uneventful one in Well
ington. AS it had been decided at a
meeting of the citizens few evenings
before, not to celebrate, the small boys
were of course very much disappointed,
but older persons, within whose breasts
the fires of patriotism had partly gone
out, were well pleased to escape the
physical exertion in broiling sun in.
cident to an active part in the usual
exercises Of such occasions
1t was advertised that at ten O'Clock
a. m, an attempt would be made to
destroy the fish in Horr's pond by the
explosion of dynamite. The announce
ment drew quite number OF people
to the pond, and they stood sweltering
in the hot sun at least an hour before
the event took place. Instead OF firing
dynamite as was expected, giant pow
der was used in small doses, in fact,
so small as merely to amuse the big
carp buried in the muddy bottom, and
without injuring them in the least.
The affair, instead Of an explosion,
amounted to merely fizzle.
In the afternoon an interesting game
OF ball was played on the school
grounds between the Greenwich
"Cubans" and our home team. The
game was very well handled by our
boys at the start, and at one time the
score stood 8 to IL in favor OF Yelling
tor. But later in the game our fellows
got kind O. ratified and played badly.
At the finish the score stood 7 to IL
and Wellington was on top. The
Cubans played poor game and had
our boys done their best, "Cuba"
would have been annihilated.
Along in the evening few sky rock
cts were sent up from different streets,
while the incessant popping of fire
crackers was. heard oil over town.
This sums up the events Of the glo-
rious fourth in the town SO lately dis
tinguished by visit from the
celebrated newspaper writer who or
iginated the we'll known "Good NOR
