Cost of Publication.

some people to understand why it is
that publica ton like the Agriculture
ist cannot be sold for as low price
as some of the northern agricultural
journals, and they often write: II
can get such and such weekly paper
for 81 that is larger than the Agri-
culturist and contains more reading
matter" They fail to say whether
the information gathered from that
paper will be Of as much value to
them as that contained in the columns
of the Agriculturist.
The field of the Agriculturist is linn
tied, for it is of no benefit to the
northern farmer unless he is in some
way interested in Florida, consequent
ly our subscription list can never
reach the 40 to so thousand that is en-
joyed by the northern agricultural
journals that have the whole of the
northern part of the United States to
draw from, hence they are able to pro-
duce a 81 weekly. If every man and
woman in Florida who are interested
in any of her horticultural pursuits,
were subscribers, we could not have a
list as large as those enjoyed by them,
hence it costs us more to produce our
paper per subscriber than it does the
northern journal.
By queer coincident we received
a letter from a would-be subscriber
complaining about the price, etc., of
the Agriculturist, when the next day
we picked up northern weekly and
in it's agricultural columns we found
the following question asked by the
same man:
"My orange trees are troubled with
scale insects and I would like some
remedy for their eradication?' A per-
fectly natural question but here is the
answer: "a good plan Ito rid your
tree of the scale would be to force the
scale off with the thumb nail" There
is no doubt in the world but that this
method would be effective but we can
imagine what a nice time the gentle
man would have forcing all the scale
off five acre grove with his thumb
nail.
If it is simply reading matter that
is wanted it would be the cheapest to
send and get one or two of the New
York dailies, but if information is
wanted that will be of benefit to those
whose interests are in Florida the
Agriculturist is cheaper at So per year
than the New York paper at IS cents.
There is one gratifying thing in
this connection, and that is, that we
never have had complaint about
price from our old subscribers and we
have many that have taken the paper
since it was first started here. We
shall endeavor to give our subscribers
many times the value of So during the
year and our columns are always open
to them to seek any information that
they may desire.

years ago, when Florida only had one
railroad. We spent the night at Mr..
Harvey's cosy cottage, so admirably
presided over by his estimable wife,
and everything kept lively and inter-
esting by three bright children.
The freeze did not hit Mr. Harvey
any lighter than it did others and his
grove was badly scorched. He has
followed the wise plan of only tax
ing care of that part of his grove
which his means would allow, and let
the balance go. 1t has proven far bet
ter to put ones attention on four
acres than spread the same work over
ten. Mr.. Harvey 'hitched up the buck
board and gave us an opportunity to
see some of the surrounding country.
We passed grove after grove that to
all appearance was abandoned and
we were told that many of them could
be bought for less than it cost to
clear the land. Many of the groves
were owned by employees of the Walt
ham watch works, and were kept in
good shape until the pressure of hard
times caused the factory to reduce it's
force. Many of the owners, hence,
had to practically give up their groves
before the freeze, and when the cold
wave struck the groves, that settled it
with them. 1t seems to us that right
there is a good field for investment for
some one with money. We visited the
home of Mr. w. j. Lewis, of Mango,
and were agreeably surprised at the
growth his trees had made. A few
trees from which he had removed all
the dead wood possible, were beauties
and seemed almost as large as they
were before the freeze. They had a
rich healthy color and a good sprink-
ling of fruit. Mr.. Lewis has reason
to be proud of his grove.
Our next stopping place was DR..
Pratt, of Limona. We found the doc
tor at home as cool and placid as the
weather would allow with the mer-
curry dancing up in the nineties. The
doctors trees have made a good
growth but he has not ''bothered
much" about the dead wood, and
hence his grove does not have the
good appearance of others we saw.
The doctor has the largest clump of
''dwarf'' bamboos that we have ever
seen. The tall, slender and graceful
''blades of grass" waving their heads
fully 60 feet in the air was sight to
| behold. The doctor is the champion
grass grower of Florida.
The evening train landed us in Tam
pa, and on the following morning the
| steamer took us to St. Petersburg.
This place has experienced a little
taste of boom, owing to the fact
that great many of the orange
growers who were frozen out in the
up country drifted there to start over.
The success Of pineapple growing has
also attracted many and new planta-
lions are being continually planted
out. By all odds the best patch we
have been in this year was that of
Mr.. Perkins. His pinery was started
just after the freeze and today it is

GILHULY's HARD LUCK STORY.
Searching for His Wife, He Lands
In Jail.

Joseph Gilhuly, q timer by trade,
who arrived in st. Paul frCm Winnipeg
Monday last, occupied cell at the
central police station last night. He
was arrested by Patrolnlan William
Banker shortly after 6 o'clock last
night ON East Third street on com
nlaint Of w. J.. Willows Gilhuly is
charged on the tab with carrying con-
cealed weapons, and a "A calbre revol-
yer was found in one of his pockets
when he was searched at the station.
GiIhuly claims that there is nothing
to the charge and tells nara luck
story about the cause of his arrest.
Some eleven years ago he married
Hattie Adair of Millbrook, and since
that time has lived at Winnipeg Work
ing at his trade for J. H. Ashdown,
of that city In July last his wife
came to ST. Paul on a visit, and after
remaining here several months return
ed home. In February last. accom-
panied by the two children, girl aged
ten and a boy five years old, she came
to st. Paul and wrote him that she
intended to make her home here. Last
Monday Gilhuly came to st. Paul, but
failed to find the place where his wife
and children were stopping He claims
to have met her on the street and had
an interview. at which one of the chill
dren was present. Yesterday he learn
ed that his wife and children were Iv-
ing in the Presley block on East Third
street, and called at the apartments.
There was no one home but the two
children, and while awaiting his wife's
return he says he was informed by his
daughter that Mr.. Willows, who room
ed there, had a big revolver IN his
trunk. For fear, as Gilhuly puts it,
that his wife, who is of an excitable
temperament, might return and cause
trouble, he placed the revolver in his
pocket. He took the children out on
the street to await their mothers re-
turn and shortly afterward was ap-
preached by a policeman who took him
to the station. Gilhuly says he intend
ed to go back to Winnipeg last night
had he not been arrested. e-;- -
Willews':is a tinnee andfformerly lived
at Winnipeg. He is twenty -four years
old, and to the. police explained that
he was fearful that Gilhuly intended
to use the weapon, and for, that reason
caused his arrest.

THEIR SABBATH At HAND.
Work Suspended at the Adventists'
Camp Grounds Today.

SStiAp UEOuAuS 1OuAys
Yesterday was an ideal day fo-
! camping OUT purposes, and the in
habitants of the ''city Of tents" at
Merriam Park, where the Adventist5'
camp meeting is in progress, thoroughly
enjoyed and fully improved it's oppor-
tunfties and privileges. The campers
were early astir. The morning devo-
tional service, beginning at o'clock,
followed by breakfast and family wor-
ship, occupied the time until o'clock,
when all the available hands in the
camp were called to the large open
space, near the entrance to the grounds,
to assist in erecting the big pavilion,
which has seating capacity of 1850,
and is the most conspicuous object in
view in the midway district.
AS today is the Sabbath with the
Adventists, yesterday was, of course,
preparation day, so every effort was
put forth to complete the preparation Of
the camp before the setting sun should
usher in the sacred hours Of the Sab
bath day, for, true to their professions
of following the teachings of the word
Of God in all things, they observe the
Sabbath from evening unto evening""
However, believing that nothing can
properly take precedence of the service
and worship Of God, at the appointed
hour all tolls were dropped, all work
postponed, and all assembled at the
place Of worship.
The II O'Clock hour was occupied by
Elder w. A. Sweany. of Albert Lea,
who called attention to the Savior's
invitation to all who are weary and
heavy laden. to come to Him and find
rest.
The programme In the afternoon was
slightly changed the o'clock council
meeting being omitted, and a. public
Bible reading being held instead at
2:30, by Elder N. w. Kanble, on the
subject Of the latter rain. The study

SERIES OF TABLEAUX.
Excellent Entertainment by the
School of Fine Arts.


School of Fine Arts.
A studio entertainment was given
of tableauX of modern sculpture and
paintings, by Botticelli and Modern
Pre-Raphaelites, by the st. Paul
school Of fine arts, last night. Fully
200 people were present who appre-
ciated and enjoyed the artistic posing.
The coloring Of the pictures was SEEM
ing1y correct as to color and were eX-
cellent reproductions of the pictures
they represented. The only trouble
to be found was that some Of the pic
lures were not perfectly distinct.
The first picture, Madonna and
Child and ST. John, characters imper-
sonated by Miss Greiser, Mr.. Farwell
and professional model, was quite good.
The next two, the Madonna. by Botti-
celli, and Circe, by Burne-JoneS, were
impersonated by a professional model.
Miss Mesner, Miss Holman and Miss
Alness pictured 1.-The Blessed Damo
eel" Miss Nabersberg and Miss Cogn-
Ian took the parts in Some of Fer
New Friends by Kenyon Cox. Miss
Murray made pretty picture in ''The
Loving Cup" In Dante's Dream"
Mrs. Thompson, w. F. FarwelI and ".
P. Hale posed.
The second part of the programme
hibition Of school work. Miss Ger
trude Jacobson made a very effective
Joan of Are, but the beauty Of the
statue was somewhat marred by the
flesh tints showing against the white
draperies. The posing for the Angel
for Morgan monument the "Armor" for
Vanderbilt mantle, and the "Geni
Guarding the Secret Of the Tomb" was
done by professional models. Miss An
derson and Miss Funk impersonated
Death of the Sculptor" in the pic
ture by Danial French.
Mrs. Barber, the director, who had
the entire supervision of the tableaux,
was pupil of Kenyon Cox, and to her
efforts and her extreme interest in each
pupil is the dourishing condition of the
school entirely due.
The halls and studio were decorated
with the work of the students, and
consisted of charcoal sketching and
studies in oil from life. A number OF
busts were exhibited in clay and plas.
ter.
Special mention should be made of
Miss Greiser's color studies in oil and
Miss Hugy's clever poster work. The
Normandy orchestra furnished the
music for the evening.

siderations. T was for four years post
master of st. Paul, and during that
time I never heard politics mentioned.
This is as it should be. A few days
ago. my chief clerk made a couple of
transfers in the Office One Of the men
was dissatisfied, but, instead of COM
ing to; me. he ran at once to see SEN
ator in the matter Later on he came
to me and received scant satisfaction.
The office force is required to work
put SIX hours a day, but soon
learned that many Of the clerks failed
to put in even that short time. I have
issued orders that the clerks will be
required to work full time. and laxity
IN this respect must cease"
Capt. Castle stated that he had
appointed son of Gen. Rawlins to
one OF the small positions under him.
Gen. Rawlins was one Of the aides of
Gen. Grant, a brave. soldier and an ex-
