Amid great applause and beating of
drums Mr.. Wilson took his seat and
Gov. Bloxham was introduced. He
needed no introduction as he was
known to everyone. After the ap,
| plause that greeted him had subsidized
| the Governor made one of his charact-
| eristic addresses, touching upon the
Importance of agriculture to the coun-
| ty. And giving statistics showing the
development of the tobacco industry.

At the conclusion of the speeches,
the throng crowded into the exhibit
ton hall and filled it as thick as bees
in hive.
AS we entered the exhibition hall we
were confronted by a large pyramid
of tobacco in different stages of de-
velopment from the growing tobacco
on top to the finished product at the
base in the shape of carrots, also bal
ed tobacco in the Cuban and Sumatra
style. This exhibit was made by Mr..
A. B. Hart, of Lake City.
On the left of the entrance Mr.. E.
S. Hubbard made an exhibit of barn

mere mention of Mr.. Hub bard's name
in connection with an exhibit is syn
onymous of good, for he is known far
and wide as an adept exhibitor, and
knows thoroughly the merits of the
articles he presents, whether it is Of
the citrus family or products of the

Along the sides were various eXhib>

clearly showed that all Of the eXhib-

in line. The quality of the tobacco,
however, showed that whether novice
or professional, Florida was producing
tobacco that would take it's place with
the best. 1t clearly demonstrated that
when our people have mastered the

final success as money crop.
The East Coast railroad made an ex-
hibit of tobacco grown on their line
which included everything from the
plant to the finished article. Their
display was made attractive, and to
contrast with the others, by being
mingled with tropical growths of diff
ferent kinds. Over the entire display
a large cocoanut tree spread it's grace.
full branches and it's fruit hung in
great clusters, attracting considerable
attention, as many there had never
seen the cocoanut in any other shape
than the hard shelled nut free from
husk. One side of the East Coast dis
play was given to Mr. James Cornell,
of Ormond, for his exhibit of jellies
and Marmalades. Aside from the to-
bacco exhibit this display attracted a
great deal of attention. The guava

From a summary Of n mineral pro-
duction of Canada for 1896. Just issued
from the Geological Department at
Ottawa, it is seen that the total value
Of the mineral product has nearly
doubled. Increases are shown in the
production Of coal, copper, gold, lead
and silver, while the output of iron
ore, natural gas and nickel has fallen
OF to q considerable extent. The in
crease in coal is altogether due to Nova
Scotia, which produced 296,153 net tons
more than in 1895. but this increased
output lie Offset in a large measure by
Q decrease of 104, 629 tons in the pro-
duction of British Columbia. Copper
shows a large decrease in Ontario and
. small increase in Quebec, while Brit
ish Columbia's contribution is 1918, $50
pounds. which amount is 1,848,1 1893
pounds more than in 1896. In gold,
large inceases are to be credited to
Nova Scotia and Ontario. but British
Columbia heads the list with an in
crease rel the previous year of $751;

iron market during the year, the pro-
duction Of iron r has fallen of to q
considerable extent in all the provinces.

ssaHDBY HIS PRISONERS.
Men Arrsssed As Tr.mps Kept Thel'

Men Arrssted - Tr.mps Kept Thels
C~~pterrfrom Bleeding to Death.
Deputy Constable Fred Black Of
Fruitxale nearly lost his life recently
while trying, to arrest four tramps. He
accidentally stabbed himself while en-
gagged in a battle with two of the men
and had it not been for the assistance
of the other tramps, who refused to run
away, he would have bled to death,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
Black had been Informed that many
petty crimes were being committed just
outside the city limits and he went
to round up all the Weary Willies"
in the neighborhood. In a big field
Black came upon four men who were
taking it easy and cooking their din
ner. The tramps were ordered into
line for the march to the county Jail.
All went well until a fence was reached
when two of the fellows showed fight.
Black gave them battle and az they
jumped over the fence the officer drew
a~big bowie knife and started in pur-
suit. He missed his footing and fell
from the fence ON the huge knife, the
blade of which penetrated his right
thigh, severing of the main ar
teries. The two fighting tramps made
their escape. The officer called on the
two remaining tramps not to desert
him in his TROUBLE and leave him to
die. =,
"Pardner, we never desert a man in
the hour of need" remarked one of
them. 4.<
The prisoners carefully bandaged
the wounds of the helpless officer and
stopped the flow. of blood. Then they
carried him half a mile to the railroad
track in the hope of getting help. On
three different occasions ore of the
prisoners tagged Southern, Pacific,
trains, but the engineers woula.. not.

Finally one of the tramps ran five
miles to Haywards to tell the news
and induced the Haywards local rail-
road men to stop the train and pick up.

Every hearty laugh in which a man
or woman INDUCES tends to prolong
life, as it makes the blood move more
rapidly and gives a new and different
stimulus to all the organs Of the body
from what is in force Of other times.
Therefore, perhaps the saying, Laugh
End grow fat" is not an exaggerated
one, tSut has a foundation in fact. No
truer words were ever uttered than
those which state so clearly. Laugh,
and the world laughs with you; weep,
and you weep alone" The jolly,
wholesome. happy-hearted people are
those who have most friends and see
the best that life holds out to them.

Roman Catholics in Crete.

At the present moment a note about
the state of Catholicism in Crete will
prove of interest. Among the 100000
Christians at present in the island
barely 1000 belong to the Latin rite,
and these chiefly in the larger towns:
Canea. Gambia, and Retimo. When
Venice in 1204 took possession Of the
island, which was formerly under the
sway OF the Byzantine empire, 10 less
than eight episcopal see were erected,
with an a~rchbishopric at Gambia. It is
therefore probable that at that time
nearly the whole island raj Catholic.
After 1869, when Crete fell into the
hands of the Turks, the Latin bishops,
with nearly all their clergy, left. the
country. which fell into the hands of
the schismatic Greek clergy, who
about this time came to- 1t. In 1874
Plus TX. restored the ancient see of
Gambia, making it suffragan to the
archbishopric Of Smyrna. At present
Fra Angelo di San Giovanni Rotondo
administers the diocese, and has under
him six fathers and five lay brothers
scattered among the various towns.
There are three Latin parishes in the
island, at .Canea, Gambia, and Retimo,
and a mission station. which is occas-
ionally visited; at Sitia. There are
three Catholic churches, four boys and
two girls schools, with 200 pupils, and
at Canea an orphanage and hospital in
the care of the Sisters of st. Joseph.
These latter are all French, while the
Capuchins are Italians.-London Tab

In the State of New York two justices
Of the Supreme Court have had occa-
sion to rebuke grand juries for refusal
to do their duty. In n instance the
fury would not indict a violator of the
state excise law because Of a local
prejudice against that law. In the 9th
er case a defaulting county official was
let go because of his high social con-
nections. In its perfection our jury
system is the best safeguard OF justice.
