Mr.. Spark mans W Ork

The Washington correspondent OF the
Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen, in
special of the 26th ult., says
Representative Sparkman has return
ed to Florida after busy two weeks here
looking after various matters which his
district and the state are interested in.
His appointment to the rivers and har-
bors committee has entailed an immense
amount Of preliminary work, and he has
been a constant visitor at the department
shaping up the matters which he will this
winter endeavor to get before congress.
Mr. Sparkman had several interviews
with the chief Of engineers with reference
10 river and harbor matters. particularly
in connection with the work at Pensaco-
la. He received assurances from the de-
partment that new dredge to cost about
$4,000 would be built for that work and
other projects in the state, in place Of the
one originally contemplated. The plans
for this dredgc are now under way. Flor
ida's great seacoast naturally will entail
considerable work before his committee,
and Mr.. Sparkman laid the plans for
much of this while here.
Another matter which demanded some
attention was the bill which he wi bring
w at the coming session to pension the
survivors of the Florida Indian wars. He
was assured that the pension Office re-
CARDS 1t with favor, and he rs strong
hopes that IL will be regarded in a SINH
lar light by congress. He will possibly
not return here until the session opens.

'ensacOla Navy Yard,

A special sent out from Washington
last Tuesday says:
The Importance of the Pensacola naval
station is to be advanced. and i'm time II
is contemplated to make this yard one OF
the most important in the South. The
first step in that direction have been ia.
X N by establishing marine guard there
with an officer in charge. The new bar.
racks are now in condition for the men,
and detail will be sent out in few
days. 1t has been urged by members OF
the Dock Board that Pensacola offers cX.
ceptional advantages above all others ON
the gulf for the location of floating dry
dock, and If Congress authorizes an in
crease in the number of docks, one will be
placed there by the department.

Markets For Our Corn.

1t seems to be hard to get the outside
world to appreciate the excellence of our
American corn, to understand what whole
some food it Is and in how many palata-
bic forms IL can be prepared.
We sell Europe so per cent, Of the food
products which 1t buys from other coun-
tries, but so far we have been able to es-
tablish only very small demand for our
corn anywhere in the old world. Our
wheat is in demand everywhere, and we
never find any difficulty in disposlng Of
as large a surplus of that crop as we may
have on hand.
Yet corn is our greatest crop, both in
quantity and value. In 1895 we ralsed2,-
Isl ,13S, $50 bushels Of corn which was
worth 1854, ,534 against 462, l02 ,947 bush
els OF wheat, of the value OF S237. 93s, 09S.
On the other hand, of that years crop we
exported but 81 col 1877 bushes, of the val
ne of 1860. 767, against 76, 102, 704 bushels
of wheat, OF the value Of s43, SO5, 663.
Thus while we sold abroad ne-sixth Of
our entire wheat crop, foreigners took
only one -eightieth of our corn crop. An
enlarged foreign market fol- our own corn
would increase its price and prove Of
immense benefits to millions of American
farmers.
Corn Is now used to considerable eX-
tent in Italy, Spain and Portugal, but
these are poor countries, and their trade
is not comparable to that of England and
the great nations north of them.
II we could ever get fair trial of our
corn as food product in Great Britain,
France, Germany, Austria and Russia. we
would build up very valuable business.
The prejudice against it in those coun-
tries is stubborn, but with proper efforts
II might be overcome. At the Paris ex-
position of 1880. fine exhibit was made
of American corn, its various products
and its multiform uses as food. The re-
suit were not what were expected, but
/ an increased demand for corn was estab-
liahod in several European countries.
That venture was private enterprise
At the great Paris exhibition now prepar-
ing. the United States department of ag-
riculture should by all means make a still
greater and more complete exhibit of corn
and its uses.
! More citizens of the United States are
interested In this crop than in any other;
it is a staple in more sections and states
than any other crop, and its increased
use would be benefit to the whole coun-
try,
! The Paris exposition offers us no better
opportunity than the chance to extend the
market for our corn.-Atlanta Journal

Girl kefOrmcr loses Her Mind

Macon. Ga, Oct. IAN exceptionally
sad case of lunacy, superinduccd, IT seems
by the gospel tent revival meetings. was
heard here today before Ordinary Wiley.
Miss Annie Ward was adjudged a fit sub
feet for the insane asylum. For some
time past the girl, who is very pretty and
only 10 years of age. has been acting
strangely. She has been living with her
mother at lOi Fourth street and seems to
have been crazcd in her opposition to
whskcy and the wearing of corsets by
women.
In addition to this, she has had re-
ligious mania which has been intensified
of late since she commenced attending
the tent meetings. She announced that
she had mission to perform, which was
that she should kill number of people,
including her mother, who Is u widow
woman, and is heartbroken over her
daughters condition.
Yesterday morning and on several &C.
casiuns before, she created Il sensation In
the neighborhood by preaching against
whiskcy and corscts from the front porch
Of the house. The Jury examined sever
al witnesses and all are agreed that the
girl is insane.

One Way to l'Ny Dcb's

A godly editor owed sl5 on a subscrip-
ton for the support of the minister. The
elder called on the pencil pusher and ask
ed him 10 liquidate. The scribe replied:
Fifteen dollars! Holy smoke! That is
more money than have seen in year;
don't you know that everybody is waiting
for that Mckinley prosperity that has
been in the dawning business so long. II
were to get possession of SIS all at once
itwould give me and my phole family
nervous prOstration. But will tell you
what / can do. Deacon Smith is owing
me ten years subscription, which amounts
to s15. | will turn the account over to
you If you will call the account square.
The elder saw the deacon across the street
and calling him in, asked him If he was
willing to enter into the agreement.
The deacon said he was willing, but the
preacher must wait until he, the deacon,
threshcd. The minister marked the edi-
tors subscription paid, and charged the
amount up to the deacon and asked the
church dignitary home with him to din
ncr. When the elder got home he found
the music master at his house waiting to
collect bill OF SIS for music lessons which
the minister's daughter had taken.
The preacher said: My dear sir, have
no money. The flock whose spiritual
welfare | administer to are not paying
cash. but are waiting for great waive OF
prosperity to sweep over the land. But
Deacon Smith owes me SIS, which he will
pay as soon as he threshes; then | will
pay YOU"
An arrangement was soon made where
by the music teacher was to cancel the
preachers debt and help the deacon.
Not many days later farmer to whom
the musician owed SIS for fine horse
called for his pay. The teacher told hin
the whole story about there being M
money but lots of prosperity dawning, bu
remarked that Deacon Smith owed hin
SIS, which he was to pay when he thresh
ed. The farmer Remarked:
can fix that all right. II am attel
this money to pay Deacon Smith SIS fol
seed wheat that got of him last spring
will get him to turn the account If yol
are willing" The deacon was seen ant
the turn made.
Seventy five dollars OF debt had beer
paid and not cent of money had chang
ed hands. You see there is no money a
all TO work out these calculations. Al
. that is needed is string of debt Of TIN
same amount.
1t proves nothing about the currenc,
question, except two things:
First, the editor is always willing ant
would pay his debts II he could get wha
is due him; second, II prosperity don
get here soon we shall be in devil of
fx.-Echange.
