One of the incidental results of the trouble in Cuba is that some of the farmers down in Flerida have learn ed that they can raise a very good quality of Havana" tobacco and dis pose of it at a fair profit Some time ago it was suggested that, lying so near to Cuba and having much the same soil, Florida might be made a good tobacco section, and a little ex- perimenting was begun. The out break of hostilities in Cuba, cutting the supply of tobacco from the island down to practically nothing and leav- ing an unsatisfied demand, gave just the needed encouragement to the Florida experimenters. Some trouble has been found on account of lack of skilled labor, but exiles from Cuba are gradually filling that need and tar~ F'loriaa. farmers themselves are fast- learning the art of raising the new crop. Already such progress has been made that { state tobacco fair'' IS to be held at lake City at the end of this month. And it is scarcely three years silce the first stray patches of the plant began to be seen on Florida soil.

GOSSIP OF NEW YORK.

Some idea of prevailing theater rem tals in the metropolis may be formed from the statement that the lease of the Herald Square theater to Evans & Bileman has been renewed for five years at $25 900 a year, an increase of $5,000 on the previous figures.
 Near Great Jones street, in the Bowery, digging was begun recently for the underground electric road, which is to enable one to go to liar lem by way of Fourth avenue half an hour quicker than is possible now. Many men have been put to work on the excavations, for the powers that be want to have the new service in operation by January.
 It is surprising the number of peo- pie who stop at the drinking foun- tains at Madison Square on hot day. There are all classes and conditions of people, and the cups on the long chains have hardly moments rest. The business man, the nurse girl, the small boy and the bencher are con- stant patrons of the ever-fowing fountain. The beautiful eIms in Mad ison Square make it one of the pret- tiest breathing spots in the city.
 J. Waldere Kirk, the "king of the dudes," who came out of the west few months ago to show New York CTS how to dress, is in a bad way. He has lost his diary, which, he says, contains all his love letters. The book, in fact, contained all the i'm portant events in his life in New York. The exact time he changed a coat or vest was also recorded in it. The king of the dudes has offered a reward of $500 for the book and pa- pers. The finder will probably work J. Waldere for all he is worth.
 One of the most gorgeously dress ed and most beautiful young women ever in Jefferson market police court was arraigned the other morning on a charge of attempting suicide. She looked like successful actress dress ed for a dinner, and there were no signs of remorse in her face. Hers was the same old story of a fruitless struggle against heavy odds in a great city. She had TO friends to go to for help and the thoughts of the fu- ture almost drove her crazy

IT is a remarkable fact that, while
we all fall down and worship at the
shrine of education" everybody
thinks it ought to be free: that the
means for his or her attachments
should be paid for by some other body.
Respectable people pride themselves
upon furnishing for themselves food,
clothing. aud the other necessaries of
life, and would scorn to receive these
things at public expense; but they feel
no shame in sending their children to
the Universities and Normals which
are sustained by the pittances wrung
from the little stores of neighbors too
poor to take advantage of the "nigher
education" to which they are co0pell-
ed to contribute. This is a plain
statement of plain case.

FARGO, n. D., April ls.-There being
a diversity of opinion as to the matter
OF receiving aid from congress for suf.
ferers by the food, Mayor Johnson Of
this city called meeting Of citizsns
this evening to discuss the question.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one,
and great indignation was felt among
those present regarding the exagger.
ated reports sent out regarding the
floods. Secretary of War Alger was
wired that Fargo was very grateful
for the profered aid, but none was
needed. Senator Hansbrough, Con-
gresham Johnson and Senator Rocah
were also wired to the same effect.
