Biloxi Wants the Ship Island

Biloxi, Miss, Sept. Alt is not
improbable that the Commercial
Club of this city will soon take
steps with the view to inducing
President Jones, Of the Gulf and
Ship Island Railroad, to construct
a branch Of bis road into Biloxi
from Gulfport, which would give
the merchants and business men
here a competing line with the
Louisville Road. This would be
of immense benefit and advantage
to the several factories here,
whose shipments are annually
most extensive, and who have but
one route transportation of unless
they ship By schooner to New Or
leans. which is impracticable.
Statistics of the trade and COM
merce Of the city are now being
gathered, and when completed
they will probably be laid before
President Jones, to indicate to him
the Importance Of making an f9-
fort to secure share of this trade
for the Gulf Ship Island.

Taking the latter figure, for the
sake of the "beneft ofthe doubt
there was during the year 1900 one
barroom for every 1854 inhabi-

young, black and white. At thi.
average it means one barroom fol
every 1887 male adults
Some male adults never drink;
some female adults do drink H.
quor bought in barrooms; some
children do. 1t half the popula.
ton of New Orleans drank either
in the barrooms or liquor bought
in barrooms the data would show
one barroom to every 92.70 inhab
ltants, irrespective of age, sex OF
color. If less than half the tota
population patronized barroomi
then the clientele of each bar
room was less than SO persons OF
an average.

"A pleased customer, is the best
Investment, not only t. an employ

The Florida star., 1901-02-01

We desire to call the attention OF
the people of both Brevard and
Dade counties this week 20 the mo-
tice, published in another column,
that is given by Senator Dimick
and Representative Raulerson, to
the effect that they intend to in
troduce bill into the legislature
in April to prohibit the catching
or taking of fish with haul seines
or drag nets in the waters of In
dian, Banana and st. Lucie rivers
and their tributaries, and also to
prescribe the minimum length of
bar and size of mesh for other nets.
1t viii be remembered that a
resolution asking for such special
legislation was introduced and
adopted before the county conven-
tion at Cocoa in August last, and
this is the initiatory step toward
securing the requested special leg
islation.
The use of seines in many parts
of our river is fast depicting the
supply of fish, and wantonly, too,
because in these vast hauls tons of
the fish are caught that are not
used or shipped, but allowed to re-
main on the shore, while the small
ness of the mesh in such seines in
cludes the catching of fish too little
for food, which should be allowed
to escape and reach maturity.
This special act cannot be passed
too soon for the welfare of the In
dian river as a tourist resort or for
the protection of the fishermen
themselves, for the present practice
of hauling seines will soon ruin
the fishermen's business as we'll as
drive away those who come here
each winter for the sport of rod
and reel.

Cooperative Housekeeping.

Many schemes, more or less
plausible. for living at very small
expense and yet securing an ample
supply of wholesome food have
been presented.
In fact, the cheap-living problem
has for some time past been the
subject of much discussion. Some
of the estimates of the necessary
expense of adequate food supply
are absurd and can be shown to be
so without actual experiment. But
there are others which are entirely
reasonable and have doubtless
proved practically beneficial to no
small number of persons. An in
teresting experiment in this line is
being made by cooperative family
association at Longwood, ILL.,, a
suburb of Chicago.
The association has been Operat-
ing for three months and is said to
have been remarkably successful.
The plan was proposed by Mrs.
Thomas Chambers, who is highly
gratified at its results.
One of her main objects was to
tighten the tasks of women who
cannot afford to keep servants, and
she claims to have accomplished
this even more completely than
she had expected. An expert di-
rector of the work in the kitchen
and dining room is employed and
under his supervision the women
work in rotation very satisfactorily.
Mrs. Chambers gives the follow
ing figures, which she says are
based on experience carefully
noted:
Cost for single meals (average),
ii cents; cost per day for one per-
son, SO cents; cost of a family of
three for three months, S92. 10; ex-
penditure for servants per month,
$50; rental of dining room and
kitchen per month, $40; total cost
per month for so persons, $3.50.
The Longwood association has
grown considerably since its organ
ization and expects to become still
larger.
Cooperative housekeeping seems
to be a perfectly practical plan OF
economy, and we have no doubt
that the Longwood association will
have imitatorS.

Prices still Advancing.

The outlook for cheaper fertilizing ma
teriaIs during this season is exceedingly
gloomy, as reports from all over the eouh-
try show an increased demand over the
previous year. The high prices Of cotton
last wear has stimulated an increased
acreage and carries with 1t an increased
demand for fertilizer. There is also
large call throughout Louisiana for sugar
cane fertilizer and in other states TOR beet
fertilizer. There is also an increased de-
mand for fertilizers for general crops.
Putting all together the increase has Sc
verely taxed the supply. 50 much that
prices have gradually been advancing
and the prospects are that before the end
of March, the south's spring fertilizer
season, such articles as high grade blood
and bone and other ammoniates will ad-
vance 81 or ST. so per ton.
Unless something unforeseen happens to
make cheaper freight rate, it is also
likely that the prices of potash goods
may advance. Our freights are now from
81 to 81. so per ton more than they were
q year ago, and even at this advance,
freight room is hard TO secure.
Acid phosphate is very likely to remain
about where it is. In this case the high
ocean freight has worked in our favor
and kept the prices down. If the foreign
freights were on a normal basis the ex-
port of phosphate, with the increased
home demand, would advance the price
but with the high ocean
The Florida star., 1901-02-01

freights the shipments of phosphate
abroad are reduced, 30 that the increased
demand for home consumption keeps the
phosphate business in healthy condi-
ton, but does not increase their total
tonnage 30 that they can not supply the
demand without taxing their capacity.
Cotton seed meal which took such q
rapid advance during the fall, reached it's
high water mark and has been at stand
still for some time. It is expected, how
ever. that it will advance slightly during
the following two or three months. Many
of the cotton farmers made a mistake in
selling their seed at high price, and are
now having to pay even higher prices for
their fertilizers and fertilizing materials.

this occasion we hope to see the
teachers, children and patrons of
our public school, and the good
people of Titusville, all take an in

will be a constant reminder of the

year of the new century.

The New York Press makes the
following statement: But for the
fact that the male heir in the royal
lineage of Victoria is preferred to
the female heir Emperor William
of Germany would be the natural
heir to the throne of England. He
is the son of a child of Queen Vic
toria who is older than the Prince
of Wales. Still, if the male heir
were not preferred Emperor Will
liam's mother would never have
been welded to an heir to the Prus-
sian throne. Kingdoms are not
combined nowadays; the people of
each have troubles of their own.

THE fact that Verdi, the great
composer of opera, and whose soul
must have been completely filled
with the most sublime harmonies,
should request that there be no
music at his funeral seems to be a
little queer. 1t is said that in his
younger days he suffered great
rebuff. He made application for
admission to the Milan conserva-
tory, and the director in charge,
Francesca Basily, who was ac-
counted a master of music, after
making an examination of Verdi,
sent the young man away on the
plea that he revealed no musical
aptitude. Such a statement seems
wonderful and difficult to believe.
Now Verdi is immortal, Basily is
hardly ever heard of.
