THE HYACINTH BLOCKADE.
Rivers, Creeks md Lakes In Florida

Sanford, Fla, July 1.-THE Jacksonville
Metropolis recently published a humorous
cartoon representing Capt. William A.
Shaw on the bow Of the steamer ID. Muir
Gibson, late of Savannah, pushing aside
the water hyacipths 20 allow the boat to

Now. there is no fun in this burlesaue

that point where patience ceases TO be
virtue and righteous Indignation takes its
place. For the past two years appeals of
the most pressing character have been
made 90 the general government 20 take
hold of this matter vigorously and give
us some kind OF immediate relief, but still
the delays go on and the hyacinths null
tiply with alarming rapidity on all sides.
The Morning News representative has
Just made n round trip daylight inspec-
ton of the pest between the city and
Jacksonville. and was astounded at the
rapid increase of the hyacinths. Above
some OF the railroad bridges the most Of

Capt. Shaw has appealed over and over
again to the proper authorities for the re-
moval or at least the abatement of the
nuisance but no action has yet been talk
en- beyond a hasty inspection and limited
experiments. lLieut. Markham of the
United States Engineer Corps, in the office
at st. Augustine, says there Is no money
available to use in removing the pest. The
government proposes, however, to build q
hyacinth boat to aid in the proposed eXter-
mination; meanwhile some experiments
Will be tried on the Upper st. Johns with
chemical destroyers of the hyacinths.
Lieut. Markham. who evidently knows
very little about the magnitude of the pest.
suggests that steamboat and sawmill men
send out gangs with scythes and cut loose
the interlocked masses so that in detached
punches they will float down the river and
out into salt water where they viii be
destroyed. There is very little comfort
In this suggestion, for the detaching plan
is old and has proved mere temporary
and expensive method Of relief, as have
all other simple and Inexpensive plans
adopted heretofore.
Now, there Is but one thing to be done,
end that must be done as soon as Con-
gress assemblies. At least $2O0.O0O must be
appropriated to inaugurate the work of
final determination, and as the work pro-
crosses other large sums Will have TO be
added 1t is no boys play-no holiday ar

ton. and that to be final determination.
There Is but one way 70 accomplish TINS
much desired object. The work must be
started al the verS source of the St Johns
river and every creek ana stream and
cove. etc, from that source TO the ocean
must be cleaned out. Not a single hya-
cinth must be left TO propagate a new
crop. For myself I would not take the
contract for $780, 900, for / am convinced
that the job finally completed in proper
manner will. If undertaken, cost the gov
ernment million dollars or very near
that amount. This is a big sum, but the
ST. Johns river is a big river. big enter
prises line It's banks and demand an open
water course whenever needed. This is
no hasty view of the matter but the re-
suit of long and thorough investigation.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Excepting Brooklyn Transit only
Small Gains Scored.

New York, July 27.-The room traders
succeeded in putting prices up for time
to-day. but they drifted downwards again
towards the close of the day, and left
only small net gains except in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. This stock was decidedly
the leader Of the speculation, and was
largely dealt in on the strength of insin-
uaung rumors that the yearly statement
which is yet TO see print w-ll show larger
earnings than has been anticipated. The
stock made an extreme rise OF over d"
points under this stimulating influence
and helped the whole market. IL re-
laDsed a point in the late reaction when

CHECKED BY A Lizard.
IT Came Up In Her Throat Time and
Again.

From the New York Press.
Marcus Hook, Pa, July 24.-While
drinking water several weeks ago Mrs.
Anna NJ. Jones swallowed a small lizard.
The reptile lived and thrlved inside of the
woman, and after a few days made it's
presence felt. Several times it climbed up
into her throat, Physicians were caEed,
and every possible means for dislodging
the lizard were tried, but without avail.
The reptile successfully resisted all the
devices of the doctors to bring Il out.
Medicines were administered which ii
was thought would kill it, but Mrs. Jones
continued to be aware of its presence IN
her stomach, and could describe its move
ments from hour to hour. Sometimes she
felt the lizard dangerously close to her
throat again, and she lived in constant
fear that in one of these upward excur-
sions of the creature she would be choked
to death.
This fear g2ew upon her, and her men
tai condjsesn became pitiahle. She would
awake "a. the middle of the night and cry
out tf1st she was choking, and then be re-
lieved by the departure OF the lizard for
other portions OF her body. After theee
frequent scares the woman became ex-
ceedingly nervous.
Last night she complained of choking
sensation. A physician wes summoned
hurriedly, but before his arrival the wo-
man had died In great agony. The strang-
est part of the case Is that the doctors
we're able to find no evidence of stranBu-
Iation. An autopsy may throw more light
upon the mystery by locating the where
abouts of the lizard. The autopsy will be
held tomorrow
Physicians are divided in their opinions.
Some believe that the lizard did actually
try to force his way to the outer world
again through the woman's throat, and
actually choked her to death. There are
others, however, who think that Mrs.
Jones dread OF o violent death had so tax
en- possession of her that IL affected her
heart, and that she died of heart failure
while imagining that she was choking.

sterling fell off a fraction. But it re-
covered a fraction in Paris, and the rate

discounts were firm, and the belief re-
mains general that further gold will go
out next week.
A favorable bank statement seems prob
able to- morrow owing to the continued
inflow of currency from the interior. Es-
Inmates of the gain by the banks on this
account run up nearly 100000. The gam
on sub4treasury operations Is reduced to
trivial proportions, in spite of the an
ticlpation by the government of the Au-
gust interest payments. The receipt at
San Francisco to-day of 81 800 600 in gold

duced by repayment of German obligations
