PAPER FRoMEFLoRIDA PINES
Another Former Waste Product That
i. Now Turned to Good
Advantage.

An odd-looking piece of machinery
over which the negro longshoremen EN-
ployed on the Clyde steamship docks
tugged and perspired in their efforts
to place it on the cars of the Florida
Central & Peninsula railroad attracted
considerable attention recently, and
many inquiries were made about it. 1t
was what is known to the paper manu-
featuring trade as clipper, and is the
first of its kind ever shipped to Florida.
The machine weighed eight tons and
was 10 be used in crushing pine into
pulp for papermaking.
What makes it of peculiar interest is
the fact that it marks the introduction
of one CT the most important industries
of the country to the state OF Florida,
and is the forerunner of much larger
plant to be erected at Pensacola in
short time. A gentleman who is inter-
ested in the Pensacola factory to some
extent, and whose brother is leading
stakeholder, says that it will be only
a matter of time. when Florida will be
one of the leading centers of the paper
manufacture of the country. The secret
of the shipment of this piece OF ma
chinery lies in the fact that it has been
demonstrated beyond the shadow OF
doubt that paper can be made at 2
profit out of pine fiber through proc
ess but recently invented by southern
inventor, whose name is Thomas, which
enables those possessed of the secret to
eliminate the resin from the wood.
This process is known to but three per-
sons, and it has been decided to keep
this secret among three persons rather
than to expose it by putting the patent
on file in the patent Office.
The factory erected in Pensacola will
have, when everything is completed and
the machinery all in place, capacity OF
four tons daily. While this will amount
to quite an output in the course of .
year, it is comparatively small plant.
Just at present nothing is being made
except what is known as manila paper.
1t is, however, of excellent quality, and
can be made at cost that will enable
it to compete with any part of the Unit
ed States in quality and cheapness OF
manufacture. The material from which
the paper can be made is abundant, and
goods made in Jacksonville can, be de,
| livered in New York city or Boston at
least as cheaply as from the mills at
Holyoke, Mass. Most of the northern
mills have to pay as high as eight to ten
dollars per cord for the wood required
by them for the manufacture OF wood
pulp. The material to be used in Flor.
ida is pine slabs. the refuse of the mills.
and can be had for almost nothing, sc
that what is now practically a waste
product will be utilized, immense ere.

LONDON BANK HOLIDAYS


All things considered, it is best not
to be railway booking-office clerk dur
ing the August bank holiday rush.
From morning till evening for three
solid days there have been unbroken
professions of holiday makers making
their way to the ticket windows at all
the London stations, and the clerks have
known the rest. Exactly how many
tickets have been deated and delivered
by the sorely-tried officials behind the
peep holes cannot be told, for many of
the companies have not been able to
cope with the mass of figures presented
to them, but it must be nearly million.
Five companies issued at their London
stations from Friday till noon yester.
clay some $50, 900 tickets, and this leaves
out of account great lines like the Lon.
don & Southwestern, Brighton q South
Coast, the Great Northern, and others
all carrying an enormous traffic. With
out exception the companies announce
that the holiday traffic has been un-
precedentedly heavy. The prospect of
fine weather brought out the cyclists
in great force. No fewer than 1900
cycles were booked for Waterloo alone,
necessitating the provision of special
vans for their conveyance on all the
principal trains, and as many from Pad
dington.
Where the figures are available, they
tell an extraordinary story. Thus, the
amalgamated Southeastern & Chatham
and Dover railways dispatched from
London stations 1889 passengers
during the three days. The Great East
ern railway carried 133,o62 passengers
1000 more than last year-the most
favored resort on the line being South
end, where 10000 persons were deliy-
cred, while many thousands made for
Epping Forest, Rye House, etc. South
end, indeed. must have been terribly
congested with people. for yesterday
the Tilbury & Southend railway ran As
special trains, carrying $4,000 passen-
gers, along their line, not counting the
$4,000 who came by the through Mid
land route.-London Telegraph.

The Irish Peeraxe.

An Irish peerage does not confer upon
is holder the right to seat in the
louse Of lords, but the whole body OF
IRISH peers can elect q certain number
represent them in the digniied upper
house of parliament. The last vacancy
has been filled by the election of the
earl OF Drogheda. The title dates from
1861. but the founder of the family was
a soldier of for.une-Sir Edward Moore
who went over to Ireland during the
reign OF Queen Elizabeth. Ponsoby-
William Moore, present holder Of the
title, is the ninth earl Of Drogheda, and
has one SON and one daughter. Though
Irish peers are not by birth entitled to
sit in the house Of peers, they may, if
not representative peers, hold seats in
the house Of commons when elected by
= constituency.St. Louis Republic.

Railroad Enterprise.

The constantly increasing business Of the
Baltimore l. Ohio railroad has necessitated
very material additions to the telegraph
service. During the past year nearly 1000
miles of copper wire, l66 pounds to the mile,
have been strung. New lines have been
placed in service between Baltimore and
Pittsburg, Baltimore and Parkersburg, New
ark, O., to Chicago, Philadelphia to Newark,
Philadelphia to Cumberland and Cumber.
land to Grafton. During the summer sew.
eral of these wires were quadruplexed be-
tween Baltimore and Cumberland and du'
picked west.
Like all new Baltimore & Ohio work, he
lines are constructed in the best pos BILE

QUALITY AND NEWS

Fame and Excellence Are Determin.
ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-One Of the Important Func-
lions of High-Class Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
a product is extended beyond it's natural
limits into foreign lands. and a large de-
mand created thronghout Great Britain.
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
RIGA, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which SO great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers OF
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. 1t is
now well known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel we'll and are
we'll informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get its
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

OF all our yearly feasts, Decora-
tion day is perhaps the most distinct.
ly national. The adjoining OF The
soldiers graves Is but the outward
manifestation of a feeling which Is
all the stronger in that our national
history Is so brief a one. The men
who fell at Chickamauga or Bull
Run need not share their honors
with the well-nigh mythical heroes
of a thousand years ago. They, them
selves, have written the history of
our race in their life blood, and they
will be passed on to generations yet
unborn. Monuments have been rails
ed in their honor, but the story OF
their deeds, as told from son to sire,
will outlast the crumbliDg stones.
Little did these heroes dream of all
this as they marched out to do and
die. They had no visions of honor
to be heaped upon them by CRATE
full people. With the simplicity in.
herited from their pioneer fathers,
they marched out to meet the foe, all
unconscious of the heroism which is
the dearest heritage tof their de.
scendants.

AS May both, draws near, the old

AS May 30th, draws near, the old
question comes up for discussion
how can the original design OF the
day be carried out? Thirty years ago
the whole people observed the day as
one sacred to the nations dead. But
we have doubled our population since
then. A generation has come upon
the stage to whom the civil war is
merely history. Hence there has
been a gradual departure from the
original intent of Memorial Day. To
a very large element it is simply a
holiday, nothing more.
There is a plan mooted in Grand
Army circles that merits considera-
ton. 1t is, to change Memorial Day
from May 30th. to the last Sunday Of
that month. The ceremonies Of the
day 1T we'll with Sunday observance.
The perpetuation Of the observances
which distinguish Memorial Day
would be far more certain under this
plan than under the present one. AS
things are going, IL will no longer be
observed when the last member OF
