ADAM JUBILEE SINGERS.

We call attention to the statement of
the First National bank of this city,
published elsewhere in this issue, as
called for by the comptroller of the cur
rency at Washington for April 5, 1899.
The deposits of this bank now amount
to $377, 054. II, while its total resources
aggregate $3.50, O24.S3, being the largest
ever shown in its official statement
The amount of actual cash en- hand and
in banks is S137, 800. II, which is prima
facie evidence of their ability to accom-
odate their customers, and if this bank
has hobby it is the one of accomo-
dation in the time of necessity. The
people of this county know that during
the past thirty years it has always
had ample funds for legitimate enter
prises and the same conservatism will
continue under the present manage
ment.

'oAhNSi VI oAO Il CooClOCu dIdu-
envy and greatest supporter of
the school located at Martin,
died Tuesday, May l6, in the 9th
year Of his age.
The deceased was a descendent
of the Pierce family, from which
has come presidents, United
States senator's, congressman,
and many who are eminent in the
history of our country. He was
a relative of Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts,, and, like him,
had broad and liberal views.
For many years Mr.. Fessenden
lived in California, but a few
years ago returned to Boston,
where he had large business IN
terests. He came to Florida to
spend the winters during the
last twelve or thirteen years.
While here he saw the lack of ed
ucatlonal facilities for the colored
children, as school was then held
in a small log hut, and resolved
to establish an institution of
learning that would give such
training as would fit the young
people of this vicinity for spheres
of real usefulness. The work he
did at Martin remains as a mon
ument to his memory. The main
school building is large and hand
somely furnished with all modern
school appointments. He also
built q teachers home with four
teen rooms, which IS we'll fur
nished. He personally aided IN
much of the work of general
management until a few years
ago, when he put it entirely in
the control of the county school
board and the American Mission
airy Association of New York.
Yet he never quit giving, and in
his will liberal provisions have
been made to continue the work.
He encouraged the effort to eS-
tablish an industrial department
and gave his subscription to the
organizers of the movement be-
fore he died. He also gave the
school a beautiful and expensive
piano the week before his death.
He aided many young people to
attend school who would have
been left IN ignorance had he not
pltled their condition. His body
rested in state III the beautiful
school chapel from Wednesday
morning until o'clock in the af-
ternoon, when it was inferred in
the open square in front of the
school building. A large con-
course of friends viewed the body
and listened to the beautiful yet
simple ceremony and prayers
said at the grave.
During the sickness of the de-
ceased and until the last, the
love, devotion and gratitude due
him was shown by the whole
community IN the frequent IN
quiries after his health, and the
many floral offerings placed upon
his casket.
He was a bachelor and leaves
his nephews, f. F. Stone and
Prof. G.. E. Stone of Andover,
Mass. and Hon. Emerson Stone
of Spencer, Mass, their father, as
his nearest relatives. Mr.. +. F.
Stone has been caring for him
during the last two years and re-
manned with him until the final
summons came.
By his death humanity and the
| world loses a fast friend, and the
institution he founded, sustained
and loved so we'll has parted with
one who can be i'll spared, and
one whose place cannot be easily
supplied, and his relatives and
friends feel his death as heavy
blow. The community has lost
an upright, loyal, good citizen
and a manly man, one whose
large and unselfish views of life
mark the parting Of the ways

"A notable ceremony occurred at thd
blue room of the executive mansion in
Washington April 8, when the French
ambassador, NJ. Cambon, presented to-
the government and the American pao7
pie, as represented through President
Mckinley, two magnificent Sevres
vases from the French national pot7
terry at Sevres. The gift was from tho
late president of the French republic,
Felix Faure, and commemorated the
opening of the Franco-American caale
on Aug. II last, when President Nc
Kinley and President Faure exchanged
the first message over the new line,
between the white house and palace of
the Elysee. The vases and pedestals
stand six or eight feet high, and are Of
deep blue, characteristic of thes finest
.Sevres ware, as well Is in happy ac-
cord with the prevailing colors of the
blue room.
The presentation was made the oc-
casion for a happy exchange of in

MED by the entire staff of the en-
bassy, including MN. Thiebaut, Taigny,
Boeufve, Maj: de Grandpre and Lieut..
de Faramond and M. Lurienne Of the
French Cable company. The presi-
dent was accompanied by Secretary
Hay and some of the officials of the
household. The vases had already been
placed in position, one on either side
OF the large window looking toward

could see there was some sensation
among the people nearest to us and
lots of eyes and ears were turned our
way. Our quartet was interested by
now in their singing, though, and we
didn't think about anything else but
the word to go on with the second
verse, and when they got it they went
at it with all their skill and sweetness
BY the time the second verse was fin
ished there were not a dozen voices
to be heard besides their own, and the
sensation had spread all :over the
house. On the third verse our quar-
tet went in alone, and I don't think I
ever heard such singing as they put
up. It was one of those good, old
fashioned hymns that has the spirit of
truth and glory in it, and the music
matched the words in way to carry
anybody off of his feet and it did it
for that audience, or congregation, or
whatever you call it, for when the last
note died away there was a stiffness

ABOUT BLACK BEARS,

holds.

How They Behave in Their Own House.
"A "never-ending discussion among
hunters and woodsmen in the noun
tains concerns the character the black
bear exhibits within the cavernous
confines of the bear household. Some
authorities say that the bear is mean,
selfish fellow, and has no care for it's
mate or thought of it's offspring, and
that the moment it becomes a father
that moment it quits the family dom
icile, leaving all there to shift for
themselves. A large number, and, it
seems, more accurate authorities, con-
tend that the bear is libeled by these
detractors, and that Bruin is. really
very helpful to Nine. Br1in in the first
weeks OF her motherhood. Hunters
who have watched from concealed
spots and through field-glasses the do
ings in a den of bears, say they have
observed many acts of consideration
and kindness in the home circle rem
dered by Father Bruin. He is not only
a good provider in time of need,. but
is also a jolly, companionable fellow
with the cubs. He will play for hours
with them, rolling about on the noun
tain side or among the chaparral. He
seems to invite liberties from the lit
tie fellows, for they romp over his
body, climb on his broad back, scram-
Bile between his legs and often scratch
and bite him, so that it must take
about all the old mans good nature to
endure their pranks. Many she bears
| in their anxiety to save their cubs
have been seen to pick them up in
| their forepaws and trudge clumsily
along. The sagacity of black bears is
| very often shown in their manner of
seeking food. A ranchman in the foot
hills of the San Bernardino mountains,
| a few years ago, found that a little pig
| disappeared about every week from his
pigpens. The prints of bears paws
told what was carrying away the little
porkers, but the pen was surrounded
by paling SO strong and high that
the ranchman could not imagine how
any beast ever got in there. An all
night watch showed him that a black
bear came that way, climbed a live
oak tree that grew near, and, walking
out on branch that grew over the
pigpen, dropped to the ground, snatch
ed terrified pig, and making for the
gate, which could be opened from the
inside only, made off to the family
den, miles away up in the canon

THE POWER OF MUSIC.
Did a Good Turn Fer d Bdrn-Storm-
ing Troupe.

Concerning the power of music,'' re-
marked the retired transformer who
had several home-stretch pedestrian
records with various comic opera COM
panies, according to the Washington
Star, Il remember on one occasion to
have seen it peculiarly verified We
had some irst-class talent in the COM
pany I was with at the time had
only been out a month and the endow-
ment fund wasn't exhausted yet-and
among them was quartet of male and
female voices that couldn't be beat
anywhere. We were billed to appear
on Monday night in a town of 1000
people,in Ohio, which had a reputation
of being the frostiest place on the
road, and the manager put us in there
place to go without costing as much in
railroad fares as we could lose at per-
formance. We got to the town Sun
day morning, and it was long and
tiresome, day, and we were so bored
when night came that we made up. a
party to go to church, just to change
our luck. I.don't know what kind of
church it was, except that it was a
big one and there was some kind of
meeting on that filled it. We had
come early-there were six or eight
in our crowd-and we had seats about
the middle OF. the orchestra chairs. As.
it happened, our quartet sat together.
and they got hymn books all right.
When the first service OF song. was Of
fered, our combination was "a bit
shaky with stage fright, for they
hadn't been to church since they had
sung in their home church choirs long
ago; but on the second round they
were all right, and the hymn was one
they were familiar with. Well, they
went at It, like they ought to, and
when the first verse was finished
