NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING

Saco, July 15.-Edward Burns and Will
liam Berry of Saco, who are stopping in
Vinton's house boat at Camp Ellis, were
rescued from drowning this forenoon by
Capt. Byam on the steamer James I
Furber. Both young men were pulled
on board the steamer after being 20 min
utes III the water, all the time clinging to
the overturned sailboat.
They were out in boat they were &C.
qualnted with and knew how to manage
her, but while in the wake of the tow
boat Joe Baker, which kicked up quite
sea, squall struck them and they
went over. Both of them we're badly
frightened and thoroughly exhausted by
the severe strain of hanging to pitching
and plunging useless boat in a rough
and tumbling sea. When the Furber
picked them up they lay down with
their strength all gone and with very
evident signs of hard fight to keep
from drowning while at the mercy of
the water but for their boat which f1oated,
bottom up.
They were taken directly to Camp Ellis

BOTTOM DROPS OUT AT OLD OR
CHARD.

The season started in we'll, but the
bottom dropped out after the Fourth, -
said the proprietor of one of Old Or
chard'si largest hotels yesterday. "About
the Fourth the crowd was larger than
1t had ever been before at that time, but
since then the season has been disap-
pointing one, hardly up to the average y
The above remark is confirmed by other
Old Orchard residents. 1t is agreed that
the promise of the first week in July has
not been fulfilled. The expectation of
big season has met with disappoint-
ment, although it is too early to assert
that the season will not be up to the
average. The hotel men are hoping that
the tide will turn within a few days.

their tents on the old grounds
west of the city on Exposition

magnificent spectacle. The show

See the Biograph.

The Great American Biograph
made its first appearance in Tam
pa Bay Hotel Casino last night
and was far ahead of anything Of
the kind ever seen here. The
Blograph presents moving pic
lures, that is, the characters por-
trayed are moving and the effect
is wonderfully realistic.
The exhibition is spoken Of as
the most wonderful production of
the age, and truly SO, for when
the pictures are thrown on the
screen they do not appear to be
pictures, but real life.
The first picture showed a sta
bic on fire and the fire depart
ment rushing to the scene.
There was whoop and hurrah,
as the engines, hose carriages
and hook and ladder dashed by
with the horses on a dead run.
In this picture was seen the
horseless engine, "Jumbo," the
only one in actual use in the Uni
ted States.-Tampa Tribune, Dec.
20th.

All Are Artists.

Regardless of the condition of
the weather hundreds of people
braved the storm last night and
visited the Park Opera House to
witness the performance of Cor
tons big minstrels. Burnt cork
merriment is always we'll received
in this city, and the show last
night was a treat to all. Every
body had good evenings laugh.
The curtain went up on the usual
minstrel first part, but the spec
ialties introduced were of a high
order and exceedingly funny.
The songs were new and up to
date. "Hank'' Goodman was
the favorite, but each artist met
with his share of applause. A
column might be devoted to the
praise Of the performers, but
space forbids. Suffice it to say it
was clean, bright, up to date
show in every respect, and every
member Of the company is an
artist.-Asbury Park, On. J.)

the United States Senate over the
corduroy road built by boiling
republicans and fusing demo-
Gratis. The fusionists captured
the legislative house by three ma
jority, and all the officials elected
are anti-Hannaites. 1t is believed
Hanna will fail of an election on

man will take Hanna's place.
Both parties are confident.

Path to BE Completed.

An enthusiastic meeting of
bicycle enthusiasts was held at
the Ocala House last night. The
principal business transacted was
to authorize Secretary w. A.
Jones to see Col. j. II. Living
stone at once and accept his bid
to complete the track for Sl15,
and to begin work at once. The
work will be completed inside of
thirty days, and enough money
is on hand and in sight to COM
plete the work. At an early date
1t Is proposed to give an enter
tainment at the Springs to raise
more money. Let the good work
go on.

In Olden Times

People overlooked the lmpor-
tance of permanently beneficial
effects and were satisfied with
transient action; but now that it
is generally known that Syrup of
Figs will permanently overcome
habitual constipation, well-in-
formed people will not buy other
laxatives, which act for a time,
but finally injure the system.
Buy the genuine. Manufactured
