Of a railroad from the mainland OF FLORIDA
to the island upon which the city OF Key

Between the mainland and Key West
there are numerous little keys, as they ure
called, affording 100 miles of land, out Oh
the 100, for the roadbed. or the twenty re-
naming, the water is very shallow, SO mat
bridging or trestle work would he COM
paratively easy. The possibility of the ex-
ecution Of the project says the Macon Tele-
graph, seems to be conclusive. Now every
thing in the way OF war material designed
for Key West or the fleet must be trans
ported by rail to Tampa, or some other
point on the mainlund OF Florida, and then
be transferred to vessels and carried on to
Key West consuming much time and eX-
ira expense.
Suppose, says our Georgia exchange, that
we had this railroad In these times. Whit

A movement has been growing In New

use OF the word attempt is deliberate,
for 1t Is not likely that the movement will

the introduction OF resolution in the
legislature proposing constitutional
amendment to permit the State to sell these
canals.
year or SO ago the people up there
voted $4,000 900 for the improvement and
deepening OF the canals. 1t was said by
the engineers that the sum would be suf-

II wish to say to the whole world that
the published statements regarding in

diness of supplying relief after its arrival
In Cuba and stories OF my own feeble

bans with commendable promptnes, The
abatement that my health or mental pow
ers are Impaired is cruelty false. Dis
oension emanates from outside and not In

Miss Barton was intensely indignant on
this subject and spoke with much warmth
This was the first time in her life she
said, that derogatory statemnts had bsen
published about her WORK. Continuing
she said During the six weeks I have

NOW Is THE TIME ron ACTION.

Tho weather has been comparatively
mild in this section during the past WIN

cold spells during which there were

rbo hsalth OF the city OF Houston dur
inc the winter has been exceptionally sooo'
the death rate being unusually low. Any
fear, therefore. for the coming heatcu
term can hardly be based on the possible
ity OF any outbreak Of disease from local
causes, or last years fever germs, IL only
the proper precautions Of sanitary nature
are taken early.
Our danger this season will be, as hero
tosore. tho possibility Of epidemic disease
being allowed to slip in, and finding con-
aitiors hero favorable to Its propagation
II there should be case OF yellow ieVeF
importcd, however, and the city be found
thoroughly clean, there would be little
probability OF TN epidemic. Where the
| sanitary conditions are such as they
should be, 1t is practically impossible for
filth-bred disease like yellow fever to
n .
lent form.
Undoubtedly the mild type of the fever
largely due to the improved sanitation o.
the present over past years. All the cltiel
have been building more sewers and pavec
streets and improving their drinking waite
and their facilities for removing sarbag
within tho past fifteen or twenty years
and 10 this fact must be attributed the diff
ference In the type of fever witnessed u
1897 from that which was SO deadly II
1879 and 1880 in the Mississippi valley.
1t is questionable II we shall ever agali
see such death rate from this scourg
as was usual twenty years ago in tn
South.
But there Ia no reason why we Shout
have the epidemic at nll, so long as W
know that cleanliness is It's foe. Rigi
