Sidney Herbert Perry


in Birmingham, Eogland, April
l3. 1861, thirty-eight years ago.
His parents moved to the United
States in 1869 and settled in
Providence, r. l.; IN which city
his father died in 1877.
Mr.. Perry was delicate
youth and the rigors of the
n orthern climate threatened his
life, SO his mother sent him to
Florida, reaching this state in
1881. He settled at Bronson,
but after remaining there a short
time, he came to Ocala. Here,
through the kind offices of a Mr..
Rhodes, who, in those days, was
a winter visitor to Ocala, the de-
ceased made the acquaintance of
Mr.. w. d. Condor, who, MOTTO
ing the feeble condition of Mr..
Perry, insisted that he should re-
ceive the comforts of his home.
The generous kindness was ac-
cepted and the gracious hospital
ity never forgotten.
Mr.. Perry, under the care of
DR.. Gary, a physici IN of note in
those days, but now deceased,
and the careful attention received
from the hands of Mrs. Condor,
slowly regained his health and
strength. Always active and
full Of energy, he found employ
ment with the then prominent
firm of Robinson & Brother,
out, finding that confinement i'm
paired his physical vitality, and
his physician insisting that he
needed all the fresh air he could
get, he took up the business of
selling and repairing sewing ma
chimes; the latter art was taught
him by his fast friend, Condor,
and the selling part WAS a matter
with which nature had endowed
him, being born trader and
salesman. He followed this bus
mess for seven years, and pros
percd in it to the extent that he
became possessed of $50 acres of
land on Lake Panasoffkee, near
lstachatta, and planted out a
fifteen-acre orange grove, and
erected in his grove in 1884, the
year he became a naturallznd
citizen OF the United States, the
most complete and comfortabl
residence that, up to that date,
had ever been built in Sumter
county. He continued in the
sewing machine business until
the phosphate excitement broke
out, and, with a keen eye for bus
mess, he joined the speculative
procession, first, as an employe Of
Mr.. X. w. Agnew's In prospect
ing for such deposits; shortly al
ter, with an increased salary, he
served the Hon. G.. M. Brown in
the same capacity, but soon made
the discovery that what profit he
could be to others might as we'll
apply to the increment of his own
fortune, and joining forces with w.
ID. Condor, made such a success
Of the business, followed up with
excellent business Judgment, that
when the tidal wave of specula-
ton rolled by and left many for
tune seekers stranded and their
suddenly acquired wealth swept
into the malstrom of a bursted
bubble, Mr.. Perry had SO dis
posed Of his prospects that a neat
little fortune was in the bank to
his credit.
From those years on to the
time of bis Death he was enga ged
in real estate transactions and
loaning money, in which he not
only was successful but conduct
ed his business in such a manner
as to make friends with every
customer.
Mr.. Perry was man of equable
temper, intelligent, thoughtful,
, active as a man of business, hon.

When we We're children (alas, long

Virtue, as represented by a fairy queen,

of clowns, l have always heard that you
had very celebrated one in the person
of Fox, rare pantomimist of the school
| OF FleEmore and Wieland, who did ms
utmost to revive the art Of pantomime
in America. The good uncle or god

mime when | was young was looked up
on as a kind of benehcient fairy. 1t was
the red-letter day Of ones life. First
there was an early dinner at Some city
Chop-house or at the Albion tavern,
with it's cosy boxes, now removed for
ever from off the face OF the earth-the
famous Albion, where you might see

OTHER EXPENSIVE CONGRESSES
Appropriations of 37th and 3Sth Ex-
ceeded Those of 55th.

Appropriations of 37th and 3Sth Ex-
ceeded Those of 55th.
A Washington correspondent asserts
that men and others who characterize the
Fifty-ffth Congress as the most expen-
slve In the history of the country speak
with memory less than third Of CEN
tury old, when the cost of the civil war
had to be provided for. The grand total
| of regular and permanent annual appro-
priations made by the Congress just clos
ed was $1,566, ,990016.
Of this amount S4S2, ,562 ,0S3 was due, in
the estimation of the chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, to the war
with Spain. The appropriations on this
account run through nearly ell the several
| bills, and are ascertainable in them with
reasonable accuracy. The agricultural
bill, for instance, carried an item of $780,
900 for the establishment of weather bu-
,, reau stations in the West Indies, made
| necessary by the war with Spain. The
army and navy bills were increased re-
spectively $57, ,300,S50 and $40, 1858, 791
Other bills contained the amounts named
pc fellows: Fortifcations, S5. .232, ,5S2; leg
islative, executive and judicial clerical
force), 81 ,316, 300; postoffice, 100000; de-
fciencies. S345, ,342, ,260; miscellaneous,
$23,S70,000.
The permanent annual appropriate Jns
were increased $6,000,00e to pay the in
terest on the 20O000,000 war loan. In
other cases the war appropriations are
more difficult to discern. For instance,
nearly 100000 was added to the sundry
civil bill to provide additional accCmmo-
dations at the Government insane hos
pital for the benefit of the victims of the
var.
The appropriations made by the Thirty
seventh Congress, which was charged
with the duty of appropriating for the
fiscal years ending June 30, 1863 and
1864, respectively, cannot be arrived at
accurately, for much of their legislation
was Indefinite. carrying no specific and
fixed sums, as is the rule of the present
day. But the expenditures of the Govern
ment for those two years which, under
the constitution, could not exceed the ap-
preparations and which probably fell short
in that respect, amounted to $1,570, ,063,-
367, not including the postal receipts.
The 81 $50, ,S90,0f6 of appropriations
charged to the Fifty-fifth Congress in
elude S204, ,S56, 4S4 for postal expenditures.
IL the sum of S1S0 000, 900, the estimated
amount of postal receipts for the two
years in question, be deducted from the
aggregate named, it leaves 81, ,3S6, 1896, ,016
as the amount of appropriations authoriz-
ed by the Fifty-ffth Congress, against
S1,510, ,O63,3 1867 expended under authorize
ton of the Thirty Congress. The
Thirty-eighth Congress made even a
greater demand upon the treasury than
the Thirty-seventh, the expenditures un-
der its appropriations amounting to ST.
S,364, ,641, exclusive Of the receipts for
the postal service in the years 1S65-66.

WINTER WHEAT is DAMAGED.
Peculiar Weather Conditions Ar Re-
sponsibIe for This.

sponsiDle Tor This.
That the winter wheat sown last fall
under the most favorable condition has
been seriously damaged by the peculiar
weather conditions which have prevailed
is shown by reports from all the winter
wheat producing States. The estimates
as to the damage vary in marked de-
gree, some States reporting almost total
loss, while others report that the crop
will be of fair size. but of poor quality.
Ohio, judging from the reports, appears
to have suffered less than other States.
while the conditions in Illinois are un-
favorable, to say the least. Favorable
weather from now on may change all this,
however. Apprehension, rather than Sc
rious damage, has been caused on the Pa
cific coast by lack of moisture, but it Is
believed that at the proper time the West
will come forward with her regular crop.
Winter wheat was sown last fall under
very generally favorable conditions.
There was abundant moisture over the
whole belt, with excess in but limitde dis
tricts. Opportunity for carefully prepar-
ing the seed bed was ample and the crop
went into the ground in excellent shane.
The only complaint came from some dis
tricts in the central valleys, where there
was an excess of moisture, which delayed
seeding and finally resulted in the seed
going into soil that was too wet at a.
date later than is considered desirable.
On the Pacific coast seeding was de-
layed by the absence of the usual fall and
early winter rains. To this review of the
general character of the season little can
be added in the way of definite statement
Of the actnal effect on the crop. Ap-
parently all conditions have been favor
abe to serious and widespread injury,
and that such has been the result is the
opinion of at least three-fourths of the
local observers upon whose data this Sc
ries of crop reviews is based
