FLORIDA AND ALLIGATORS.
Fish Commission Will Be Asked to Restock the Lakes and
 Rivers.

The alligator as useful animal has nearly been exterminated in Florida, and the people of the state are going to make formal appeal to the United States Fish Commis- sion to restock the rivers and lakes with these old time valuable saul rians.
 The demand for alligator leather for manufacturing purposes is on the increase, but most of the skins used for this purpose have to be bought from South and Central America.
 Florida had more than 3,000,OOO alligators in 1880, but today she has not one quarter that number, and they are all young fellows, unfit for market, except to stock dime muse. ums and circus exhibitions. The alligator hunters have destroyed the great saurians at such rate that there is scarcely an old, full grown alligator to be found in Florida out side of the great Everglades.
 The United States Fish Commis- sion has looked over the field, and visits were made to various parts of the state to see what prospects there weresfor breeding alligators artificially.
 Especial attention was given to the Ismall hatcheries on the Caloosa- hatchie river, just above Fort Mey- CTS, where private citizen has established an infant industry of alligator breeding. The success of this experiment is important, in view of the probable attempt to breed alligators for stocking the rivers in Florida by the Fisk Com mission.-New York Herald.

A HEAVY FINE.
Imposed Against ". J. Hum- phrey, the Insurance
 Solicitor.

Mir. ", J. Humphrey. representa- tive of the New York Life Insurance Co.,, was tried in Vance's court yes terday (Tuesday) on a charge of vio- lating the insurance laws of the State.
 The statutes require the payment to the State Treasurer of a license by solicitors for foreign insurance com panies doing business in this State. Mir. Humphrey is a bona fide agent of the New York Life Insurance Co.,, but ne had failed to comply with the above requirement..
 On the trial of the case the defense produced no testimony and the fine of $500 provided by statute was ad- ministered. An attorney for the in surance company from Chicago was present and said the law was uncon- stitutioLal, and it is likely that the case will be appealed.

ARE THE PROSPECTS FOR AN ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT AND
 STREET RAILWAY.
Mr. Harrison Says He Will Not Put in a Bid for Public Lighting Unless More Private Con.
 tracts Are Made,

A GRAPHIC reporter met Mr. Har- rison, the promoter of the proposed new electric light and street rail- way plant, last night when the fol- lowing conversation took place:
 "How are you, Mr. Harrison, how's the electric light plant and street railway pro2ressing2' said 4he0reporter
 "Not so well, he replied. If we had to make bids tomorrow, we would not put in a bid for the pub lie lighting. The first week MT. Coyington and myself secured large number of contracts for pri- vate lighting, but since that time we have not done so well. We were assured contracts for at least 2000 incandescent lights and fifty com mercial arcs, but we have not got ten them. We cannot successfully operate an electric light and street railway plant with a less number. The fact of the business is we ex- pect to lose for some two or three years on an electric street railway system, and we have got to make up the deficiency out of our lighting contracts. At present we are seY- egal hundred shy of the necessary number of incandescent lights, and oyer ten or more short on conner cial arcs. And unless we get them by next week when bids have to be made for lighting the city, we shall not put in bid. Your people have hesitatlng way that discourages ne. or course, we cannot make an in vestment of $50, 900 on an uncer- tainty, and unless we can see that we can make the plant at least self sustaining for the first few years, we are out of it. I have written about the situation to Mr. Coving ton, and it depends upon develop ments during the next week wheth- CT we submit bids or not. !"
 Con tinuing, he said: 1T should like to become acitizen of your town. I have been here nearly four weeks, and nay expenses have been heavy, besides my loss to my private busi- ness at home. But 1 cannot con- tinue to stay here on uncertainties, or get the people I represent to make a $150, 900 investment on un- certainties. Capital, you know, is shy, and will not come on urcer- tainties, ard where it is not well come.
 The reporter expressed his amaze ment and the hope that it would all turn out rightin the end.
 This led Mr. Harrison to further remark No, the trouble is every body regards the enterprise as a sure thing, and they don't seem to be willing to give any guarantees themselves. But this much is a cer- tainty, unless We get private con tracts for at least 2000 incandescent lights and fifty arcs, in addition to  the contract for ci,y lighting, we shall not put in a bid next week for the public lighting, which carries with it the building, equipment and operation of an electric street rail way"

 AND MILES.
Arrived in the City Last Night Started Out iu Paper
 Suit.

 He started out on $3,000 wager with the Social Club, of New York, in June. 1895. The stipulations of the wager were that he was to show up in New York, July 1898, with 5000, and that he was to make the money by some honorable means of labor, and must not beg, borrow or steal. In the event of his accomplish ing the feat he is to receive $6, ,000.
 Phelps started out in a paper suit made of newspapers of the New York World, His first job was to black pair of shoes, for this job he received $1. He had 3 cents to start with, he auctioned one of his coppers for $1, bought pictures of himself and sold them for 25 cents each. He accumulated $75 the first day by various ways. After visit ing few cities in the Eastern States he departed for the old world and has travelled through France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Holland, Russia, Hungaria. Greece, Servia, Algeria, Turkey, Persia, Arabia, Asia Minor, Egypt, India, Celon, Siam, China, Corea, Japan, Australia, and land- ed in this country in Feb. 1897. Since which time he has visited 25 States and the provinces of Canada and has two months to complete the journey. He has already accumu- lated the 5000 and all the money he now has to make will be to defray his travelling expenses. MT. Phelps is a chemist and worked in a labora tory in New York for seven years. He accumulates his money by sell ing various things and street adYer- Using. He writes for 27 papers.
 MT. Phelps tells of some exciting adventures during his travels, among which is an experience which came near costing him his life; when he was chased for miles by band of Arabs, north of Bashire, Persia. He was in India during the great famine, and saw the dead carried to the hill tops, where the birds were allowed to eat the flesh from the bones and the latter buried.
 He was in jail in Prussia, Prov ince of Poland, because his costume attracted too much attention. When he started out he weighed 190 pounds but has dropped to 135. Among the yaluables he carries is an open face gold watch loaned hlm by Lloyd Booth, an iroa manufactu- Ter of Youngstown, Ohio, for which he gets $1OO upon returning it.
 The gentleman is now engaged in writing a book which will be entitled What Phelps Did in His Paper Suit"
 He will be seen on the streets to- today, look for his beaver hat and white trousers.
 He will remain here for few days, then start for South America and Mexico, which he proposes to cover Tn two months.

A FAMILY FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.

TO heredity, to the transmission Of
traits from sire to son, we owe most of the
possibilities of growth and development.
IT each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
Of life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiarities
of feature. e1ceutricities Of speech and
manner, birth marks, ETC., are handed
down just as surely as manual dexterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. A curious example Of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ga, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair is hereditary in our family.
AS long as can xecollect. my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago,
my hair began to show signs Of turning.
resolved to try Ayers Hair Vigor, and
after using it only few times my hair
was restored to its natural color. I still
use this dressing occasionally, a bottle
lasting me quite while; and though over
forty years of age, my hair retains its
youthful color and ful1ness. To all who
have faded and gray hair, I would heartily
recommend DR.. Ayers Hair vigor."-Mrs
MAGGIE PIcKE11, Canton, Ga.
There Is no shame in gray hair, but there
