Another Way OF Stealing From the State.
The state tax commission, in pur-
suance of its duties of investigating the
system of assessed valuation and taxa
ton of the state. has already been
through IS out of the SO counties in
the state. Two-thirds of this work is
done, and from a brief survey of a
small portion of the field covered by
the commission, there is no question
that when the report is finally made
to Gov. Pingrec, or to the next legis-
lature when it meets, will prove
most startling. Apparently hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of prop
erty, both real and personal is escap-
ing taxation yearly, owing TO the most
fragrant neglect of the assessing Off
GERS of the townships and counties
throughout the state. At MuslIegon
millionaire was found who was paying
taxes on 81 900 worth of property when
the same was actually worth 5000, 900.
Since the special session of the legis-
lature adjourned, the commission have
investigated the assessing system of
eight or ten new counties. Instance
after instance has been found where
the large property owner is escaping
taxation altogether, and where county
after county is assessed for only from
% to 33 per cent of its real property
value, and escapes its just proportion
of the state tax where other counties
are assessed for from 60 60 so per cent
OF property value and are bearing an
undue proportion of the cost of oper
ating the state.

A Study In Black and White.

The Mcfarland Fruit Protection COM
pany have just gotten out an artistic
study in "black and white" for the use
of two distinguished entomologists, the
benefit of the Florida orange growers
and the total extinction of the new or
ange pest, the white fly.
On plans suggested by Mr.. Mcfarland,
ten tents have been constructed for Pro-
fessor Woodwork, of the California Ex-
pertinent station, at Berkeley, CAL, and
Professor Gossard, of the Florida Exper-
iment station, at Lake City, and one
tent on the style of the tent used in Cali
fornia for fumigating purposes in large
groves. Some of the tents are of black
aud some of white material, and are of
the following sizes: l tent, 81 feet high
by % feet in diameter; tents, 80 feet
high by 20 feet in diameter; two tents, u
feet high by II feet in diamater; tent
the California style), IA feet high by l6
feet in diameter, also one sheet tent, 81
feet square.
These have been shipped to Ellenton,
on the Manatee river, where the first ex-
periments in the use of hydrocyanic acid
gas will be made in the effort to destroy
the white fly. The tents of black are for
use in the daytime, as the effect of the
SUMS rays on white tent is to neutralize
the chemical combination which forms
the gas. The cost of making the appara-
tus for trees of a similar size in California
is three times that charged by Mr.. Nc
Farland, besides the latter do away with
the clumsy derrick used to hoist them
into position. While the cloth used is of
the same material, the method of treat
ment to render the tents capable of hold,
ing the gas in Caliafornia made it three
times the original weight. The addi-
tional weight by the Mcfarland method
of treatment amounts to but one-hali
ounce to the yard.
Professor Woodwork is delighted with
the simplicity of Mr.. Netherlands design
and the ease with which it works.

Christmas Tree at Minis.

On Christmas night the people Of
Minis. Lagrange and Turnbull, with =
few visitors from Titusville, gathered at
the church TO enjoy the Christmas exer-
cises and tree. The church was beauti-
fully decorated. Just inside the entrance
one was greeted by "old Glory" while
on the side walls were festoons of cedar
looped with the flags of all nations. The
rear of the church was adorned with
wreaths of English holly and the words
"Glory 70 God In the Highest"
A very interesting program was well
carried out, the music being greatly en-
ioyed. The songs by the infant class and
the fine solo ASLEEP In the Deep" by
Mr.. George Strahan, were worthy of
especial mention. The audience showed
great interest in the concert recitations,
the first being ''The Visit of the Wise
Men," by four older girls, and that OF
the little ones Christmas Time" The
visit of 'The Missionary Lady" was
most amusing and illustrated child nature
to perfection. The parts were we'll taken
by Bernice Strahan and Nora Coward.
Little Nellie Schofeld won hearty APP
planse by her clearly spoken recitation,
''If You're Good" The tree was artistic
in its effect and well laden with presents.
These were soon distributed among the
happy waiting children. At the close
they were dismissed with benediction
by Rev. A. ID. Cohen.

Sells and Gray's Shows.

Sells and Gray's combination shows
gave an exhibition here last Friday af-
ternOon, preceded by a street parade in
the morning about ii o'clock This was
the largest show that has visited Titus
vile, and included a menagerie, which
was very interesting to many. In the
menagerie were included a large ele-
plant, the African OK, camel, yak,
sacred OK, lion, leopard, hyena,
wolf, several deer, paroquets and a
cage of monkeys. Only an afternoon ex-
hibition was given, as the appointment
at West Palm Beach next day would not
admit of the evening exhibition, which
was quite disappointment to a number
from down the river, who came upon the
belated northern train especially to take
in the show. They, however, could take
in the. town, and our merchants, no
doubt, reaped the benefit of what the
show might have had. The features in
the great tent were all first-class, and the
management was highly pleased with
the large attendance in such a small
town. A special train of II cars was
necessary to transport the show from
place to place. From Florida they go to
Cuba, and the elephant with the show, it
is said, will be the first one on that is

HIS PROPOSAL.

She knew he loved her by each glance,
Though he'd not spoken;
His hands quick pressure in the dance,
Each flower and token.
She waited for the story old
AS she had read it,
But though his eyes the legend told
He never said it!
He sang to her in verses sweet,
His accents sued her;
He played the banjo at her feet,
In ragtime wooed her;
On smooth yacht decks all golden glow,
Where starlight blended,
Till she began to think him slow
AS well as splendid
She led him into quiet hooks,
On stairs, denurely,
Where lights were low and tender looks
Might pass securely,
And when the band throbbed some deep hymn
Or old song story
She steered him gently for the dim
Conservatory!
But in crowded cable car
One rainy morning
They rode with many jolt and jar,
The weather scorning,
Till swerving round a curve she leaned
Against his shoulder,
And safely by her big hat screened
Twas then he told her!
