Noah Frye, a young man in the employ

The land department of the Florida
East Coast Railway is having a block of
land containing a 900 acres or more sur
veyed and laid off in ten-acre lots north
west Of Little river. This Is said to be
a very fine body of land for gardening
and fruit growing. j. S. Frederick, c. T.,
has charge Of the work.
A few days ago Julia Heidi small girl
living on Tampa flights, was bitten by
a snake. Her arm swelled double its size
in a moment almost. She screamed, and
a colored man Went TO her and took in the
situation at a glance. He took her in his
arms and carried her to a physician, who
was nearby and remedies were applied
before the poison had time to so very far
She was soon relieved.
The parties who went from West Palm
Beach 10 see the Seminole Indians green
corn dance that they were TO hold, some
thirty miles west of Jupiter came back,
disappointed, as the Indians had secured
whisky and were carousng and showing
signs of keeping it up as long as they
could get liquor. They were also fighting
among themselves. to some extent; and
acting ugly toward the whites
Last Friday afternoon a fearful accident
occurred at the sawmlll of r. d. Medlin
q Co. in which Lucius McCray a negro,
lost his life. McCray was attempting to
raise a belt from a shaft when a set screw
in one Of the pullies caught in his cloth
ing and he was literally torn 20 pieces.
One arm and both IL IS were Torn from the
body. The fragments were gathered up in
a cracker box, but Eater placed in a cof-
fin and were buried in the morning.
About fifty clgarmakers left the city

Havana, where they will then live in
tdeness upon the few men who are at
work there. The very best information
from Havana is to the effect that but
little work is going on there and this, of
course, makes the prospect a bad one for
those who are rushing away at this time.
The law forbldding the sale of liquors to
the Indians is as regularly broken as the
Indians make their appearance in Miami.
Nearly every time they go there there are
more or less disgraceful scenes enacted
on the streets. A few evenings since three
drunken Indians entered the Surprise
store while the proprietor was absent
Miss Grace Hadley and little Joe Conova
were in charge. The Indians took adj
vantage of the situation and were having
their own way when Win Pent came

MANY CLAIMS RECEIVED.
Applications for Pensions Being
Made by FIorida Veterans.

Made by Florida Veterans.
Tallahassee. Fla, July 4-Nearly 1900
applications for pensions were filed I'M
der the Florida law of 1897 but the sec
rotary of the pension board says appl-.
cations are coming in under the new law
of 1899 more rapidly than ever
The law Of 1897 contained many unwise
provisions, and was regarded by many as
worse than the United States pension act.
The worst feature was a provision impos-
ing a rank injustice upon the deserving
veterans of the state, in allowing them
only $50 a year, while the widow of any
solder, though she were born since the
civil war and had married an Old veteran,
was entitled TO $50 per annum.
The legislature of 1897 failed 10 make
adequate appropriation for pensions under
its unwise law, and thus saved the state
an expenditure which would have placed
her upon the verge of bankruptcy.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
Case of Sudden WeIIness.

The following sketch was penned on
the llth day of January, last, but II
subsequent consideration of the matter
resulted in SUPPRESSION.
AS the president of the Forum com
pany seems to have no consideration
for the JOURNAL, the policy of show
ing him favors has been suspended in
this office, and until the JOURNAL
wins this fight, echjch it is going 10 do, he
must take all that he earns:
Much apprehension was felt last evening
and early this morning over the report that
the president of the Forum Publishing COM
pany had been stricken by some violent COM
plant connected with the current unpleasant
ness with Sandy Smith.
The president was attacked as stated, while
ruminating over the possible result of his
scratch with Sandy Smith, properly known
as Alexander Smith, rarely Alec Smith
He had been much worried over the outlook
In consequence he disappeared from the
street at an early hOur-so early that no
little fear was felt that the surgical depart
ment of the Fornn in connection with out
side medical and dental cooperation, might
be summoned at any moment to the bedside
of pain.
There is reason to believe however, that the
president did not go to bed, but sat in a chair
"a picture of several kinds and degrees of
wretchedness. How true it is may never be
known, but ii is suspected that the doctor and
dentist arrived, the order for the surgeon hay
ing been happily countermanded before that
great man could get his blunstruments to-
gether. In an unguarded moment the dentist
suggested gas
The president fell over and for a moment
there were fears of the worst
An hour elapsed, during which the patient
slowly revived. Then the hapless doctor
stated that what the president really needed
was shock of elec-
"Alec! 0, my and away went the presi-
dent down deep into another swoon, which
lasted until after the first train this morning
had gone eastward
Later the news came that Smith had yield
ed to the opportunities of the Forum COM
pany and agreed to a settlement out of court
In less than ten minutes the president was
on the street greeting his thousands Of friends
with a smile as broad as if he had licked
Joshua Johnson in another terra Gotta pipe
scrap.
How true it is that nothing Is more uncer-
tain than sudden illness, and how some spells
of sickness are superinduced by external cir
cumstances Had Sandy, for instance. de-
cIined to yield to the Forum's pleas of mercy,
it is feared the president would have been

1t speaks of the two properties sold by
w. c. Devecmon, attorney, last week,
as one. They belonged, however, to
different people, both colored, and
were some distance apart both in
Brownsville. The Forum was much
hurt, too, because some capitalist did
not buy them for summer residences.

Wagner In His Gay Moods,

"When not in meditation or reused
to anger by stupidity or impertinence,
Wagner may well be said to have been
boisterously gay" writes Houston
Stewart Chamberlain of "The Personal
Side of Richard Wagner" in The La
dies Home Journal. "This was, so to
say, his normal state when in society,
which accounts for his being so much
beloved by children and by animals /;
hence also he never could endure the
society of pedants and seekers for no.
toriety. The men he preferred were those
full of fun and repartee. The ready wit
of peasant entertained him more than
the learned sayings of savant. He
walked very fast, scrambled up noun
tains like chamois, and was particu-
larly fond of long excursions on foot.
Being very small in stature and wiry,
he preserved his extraordinary agility up
to the very end.
''As a youth he was renowned for
gymnastic teats, and at 60 years of age
he used still to climb tall poplar trees
and to frighten his family by all sorts Of
daring antics. Even within year of
his death he would occasionally, when
i'll high glee, astound his sedate Ger
man friends by suddenly standing on
his head or by playing leapfrog over
the armchairs of his drawing room."

caught him teasing. his baby sister and
reprimanded him again.

good little boy, but today you re up to
all kinds of mischief. "
"I'ln tired Of being good, he return

Tired of being good!" she exclaimed.
"What do You mean by that"
"Well, brother Bob is naughty most
of the time, and you're always giving
him things to get him to be good, and l
guess I'll be naughty for awhile and
see If l don't get something too"

wisdom beyond his years Chicago

AlIIsight at Heart.

Without endorsing the policy which
suggested and projected he late peti-
tion to the States attorney and Judges
of the Circuit Court. it is difficult to
see why it was so much ont of place
that the proper way to treat such
papers is to do as England did with the
prayers of the colonists, dispose of

1t is also difficult for the people
to see that line can be drawn any
where beyond which peaceable ex-
preston of their wishes is not to be al
lowed.
The right of petition is quite as old
as any other right under Magma Charta,
and so long as law is IA science so in

numerous as pro, it would seem that
an expressed desire of the people con-
cerning the threatened disastrous effect
