Committed a Robbery and Were
Found Ont.
ONE PLAYED DEAD MAN
Or n. v Murray's Safe Looted-The
Burglar Was Captured by Quite
Unusual p an.
(From Mondays DailyJ

One of the cleverest pieces Of lie ec-
i've work done in this city for a long
time was accomplished yesterday by
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth. In the
morning DR.. II. V. Murray visited the
station and reported that during the
night his room had been entered and
between 5000 and $500 taken from the
safe. He had no idea who had done
this and notified the authorities mere
ly as a matter of form.
With no further knowledge than
that the theft had been committed
|Chillingworth began his hunt for the
thief. He first made inquiries as to
the whereabouts of All Hin, the Chin
ese boy who works for DR.. Murray.
After tedious search he found him.
formation that the willy Chinee'
might have. After much questioning
All Hin admitted that he had been
spending the morning with All OF, who
had been gambling quite heavily. AS
All Oi Is an odd job" Celestial Chill
lingworth wondered where the money
came from. Leaving All Hin at the
station he started after the man OF
sudden wealth. He found the house
| but the bird had flown. In order to
disarm suspicion he told the women
OF All Ofs house that An Hin was
ldying at the station and wanted to see
lAh Oi. The ruse was successful. In
| the meantime the officer had All Hin
stretched out on the table with a
shroud over his body, and -four over
his face, the latter being the pallor OF
death. When All Oi saw the supposed
dead body of his pal" his wonde:
was great, and his attempt at grieI
greater. Chillingworth left with All o
and later returned to the dead" man
leaving All OF with an officer He told
All Hin that All OF had confessed
Everything and as the story Went Al
Hin was deeply implicated. The bluf
worked. All Hin Immediately told tn
tale of the robbery. Later All Oi veri
fed his pals story, with the exception
lthat he said that All Hin entered tn
room and took the money. There ar
facts though that disprove this an
make All OF the culprit.
According to the story All Hin ha
Informed All OF that DR.. Murray wa
in the habit of keeping a large sum q
money in the safe. The plans for tn
burglary were arranged. All Oi was t
90 inside. while All Hin was to kee
watch from without. When the docto
was awakened by the turning OF Tn
key in the safe he reached out for HI
revolver, which ne always placed ol
the stand near by. The pistol had bee'
removed. The burglar was startled b:

leaving the greater portion of the safe
lcontents intact.
Some of the money was found in Al
lois possession. He has been arreste'
before on minor charges Of like nature
and the last time served nine month
for a petty theft.

NOT A STOCK TOWN
(HilO Tribune.)

Auctloneer Stevens is trying to in
augurate a stock exchange in Hilo, but
finds the season n little backward, or
the soil too much of the nature Of pa
hoehoe. After two or three auction
sales held at noon on various days
this week the bidding has been rather
feeble, and that confidence which has
SO doomed stocks in Honolulu seems to
have been lacking. Olaa has sold at
about 80 cents above par instead OF al
81, as $50 II Is reported) In Honolulu.
Nahiku only went up To 60 cents above
par, while Hawaiian investments went
begging. There has besides been doubt
in many minds as to the genuineness
OF even these sales, but Mr., Stevens
denies most emphatically these insin'
uations, nor does there seem to be any
good reason to support them. II Is
not at all likely that stock transactions
will cut very important figure In liilo

The Commissioners, which have been

their business, being convenient to the
public and yet free from any annoy

the business done has consisted in in

have expressed their views to them as

the fact that the Commissioners have
expressed their desire to meet any Of
the residents that are In position to

have replied to, but as yet no definite

Grapes in Florida.

Six years ago member Of this So
ciety on the Standing Committee on
Grapes. made a statement to this eff
feet: that he saw no reason why grape
growing in Florida should not be as
great a success as orange growing,
and he meant to make it a success!
| thought at the time that it was
remarkable statement, and | think so
still. 1t was undoubtedly born OF
very hopeful spirit. However. | do
not intend to criticise it at this period.
My object in abiding to it is to point
out one thing it did. 1t enthused so
many people, that grape growing was
thoroughly tested in every part ut the
State, and it proved that we could
raise first class varieties of grapes OF
first class quality, and plenty OF them.
Unfortunately, however, from conn
mercial standpoint grape growing has
been failure For the last three
wears a very good attempt to raise
grapes for market has been made in
nv part of the State-Sumter coun-
tv-and with the same results; there
are plenty of grapes produced, but no
monev>in them. Just why grapes for
market should be such a failure at
this time it would be difficult to say
1t is true that grape growing requires
experience and exceptional intelli-
gence, and yet the cause of the failure
cannot be charged altogether to the
men engaged in the industry, for
many of them are as skilled as any
grape growers in the land. The fail
ure may be owing to various causes.
Perhaps we have not got the right
kind of grapes for Florida, an early,
hardy, good colored, disease-resisting
variety, adapted to the hot, moist at
mosphere of our ripening season; the
soil may be unsuitable, or the loca-

last three or four years. Only two
weeks ago my attention was called to
the improved Thomas, sixteen berries
of which have been known to weigh
pound. 1t appears to me that nature
is not only tempting but provoking us
to use muscadines. They grow in
semi-wild condition, require no pre-
vious experience in the grower, need
compare lively little manure and are
easily managed; they are healthy, Wig
orous and enormously prolific; add to
on some of them, and Oh some kinds
never, and what more could we rea-
sonably expect from nature? [ have
four vines of four varieties, the white
scuppernong, or flowers, the Thomas
and the Peedee, and for over two
months from these vines, [ get SUI
perabundance of excellent fruit for
my household and for my visitors. I
have a black scuppernong sixty feet
long growing on an ordinary plank
fence. One afternoon [ turned a fam
lily of six on it and after they had
fed to their hearts content you could
not tell where they had been.
But however promising the musca
dimes may be for table grapes they
give even greater promise as wine
grapes. | know some friend is going
to ask me, ''What does the acidimeter
and saccharometer say to that?' Well,
| have something to say to that and
it is this: it will not do to judge our
taste for wines in this country by the
European standard a~7 neither will it
do to tie us down to the European sys-
TENS of wine making, however good
they may be. Like all grape growing
countries we will yet evolve a taste
for wines and systems for wine
making characteristic of ourselves.
Let me carry this farther.
Some time ago I was acquainted with
two men who owned the largest black
scuppernong that have ever seen. At
ter they had over stocked the local
market with their grapes, they re-
solved to convert the balance into
wine They had never tried wine MAX
ing at all before, and had no expert
ence with it; but they studied the
subject and used their Judgment, and
produced two barrels of wine of such
excellence that they could not keep
any of it, though they sold it at fifty
cents quart. Some of you who had
the pleasure of attending our meeting
here in Orlando last year will recol-
lect the remarks made by a member
on fig brandy or cordial. At the end
of the remarks a worthy brother got
up and warned the society about it's
precipitating effects. have always I'M
derstood that that is a necessary quail
fcation of all good brandy or wine.
Well in regard to the wine I have
been telling you about, [ saw gen.
tleman with a dry constitut ion, real,
we'll seasoned cask, get three fingers
lengths of it, and in a short time af-
| forwards, 7 can assure it had a most
precipitating effect upon him. Yet the
makers of that wine did not know

again it may be defective transporta

rates. Yet, though the present condi
ton of the business is discouraging
do not think we should despair of sue

rections may yet bring a profit to the
growers.
[ have been growing grapes in Flor

quently from the stables and put on
the land in fresh condition, just
where you are going to use it, The
reason he gives for that is that there
is nothing lost by teaching nor evap

as no gravy would go to the stewpat
and none of it's flavor be driven into

to- devote too much time or labor t(

that. There may be states where

them. Besides, there are many trees
and plants which have "a tendency t(

the excess of nitrogen in fresh barn

every instance it has killed my foreign
