AWARD OF State CONVICIS.
To Be Worked Exclusively In the Tur-
Pentine Camps.

The board of state institutions by un-
animons vote has awarded TO the Florida
Naval Stores and Commission company,
of Jacksonville, all of the convicts at
$l5l so per capita per annum. There are
$40 convicts now. Experts estimate that
900 will be the average of convicts for
the contract terms per annnm, netting
the state 5000, 900 for the term of four
years, clear gain to the state over the
past three contracts of $5l2, 900.
Other bids received were ]. j. Baity,
of Waycross, Ga, for $l44; w. ]. Hill
man, for 800 convicts at $l53; Butgen-
bach, for $50 convicts at $I35. There
were fourteen bids in all.
This contract award practically stops
the agitation of the phosphate men, as
the convicts will be worked in the tur-
pentine camps.
This gain is equivalent to half of the
bonded Indebtedness of the state, and
nearly equal to the amount due the state
in the Indian war claims. 1t is equiva-
lent to a two-mill tax on all property in
Florida tax books.
There Is mach qualification expressed
at the successful manner in which the
governor and cabinet have handled this
matter for the states benefit.

Paderewski's first really important

long after the death of his beloved

drawing room of lady famous for
her musicales. and his fee. which SEEM
ed to him enormous, was $40. He man

pay him in advance. and when Pade-
arewski had redeemed his dress suit
from pawn and paid for shoes, gloves.
tie and other essentials he had no mon
ey left for cab hire. so he was forced
to walk to the scene of his engagement.
y The music loving audience inspired
him. He played with feeling, passion
and mastery Of his instrument as new
er before. His success was instant and
unmistakable. The poor player had
suddenly become the lion Of the hour,
his dream had become q reality, and
fame and fortune were assured him.
At last, after disengaging himself
from his admirers, he turned to leave,
when his hostess, remembering with
regret the smallness Of the fee for so
marvellous performance, offered him
her carriage for his return home. But
Paderewski's pride came to the rescue.
In his courteous vet reserved way he
made formal bow, and saying, "No,
thank you, madame; my own is wait
Ing" he stepped out for his long walk
homeward. -Pearson's Weekly.

Reading Of the Message Attracted a
Large Crowd in the House.
Washington, Dec. 4.-There was a
very good attendance in the galleries
of the house to listen to the reading
of the. first message of President
Roosevelt. The members gathered
early, chatting and discussing pros
pective legislation. The main topic
was the personality of the new presi-
dent. Keen interest was manifested
in what he would have to say in his
message. "
AS the hands of the clock pointed to
IL Speaker Henderson called the
house to order. The speaker announc-
ed the appointment of the committee
on rules as follows: Mr.. Henderson
of Iowa, Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr.. Richardson
of Tennessee and Mr.. Underwood of
Alabama. =...E
The only change in the committee
was the substitution of Mr.. Underwood
for Mr.. Bailey of Texas, who is now a
member of the senate. Mr.. Bingham
Pa.), at the head of the committee
appointed to wait upon the president,
reported that the, committee accom-
panied by like committee from the
senate had performed it's duty and the
president had received the message
with pleasure and had said he would
at once communicate with the two
houses IN writing. Two minutes later
Major Pruden, assistant secretary of
the president, appeared at the main en-
trance and announced message from
the president. The message was taken
to the speakers desk, where Speaker
Henderson broke the seal.
"a message from the president of
the United States" he said, as he
handed the document to the reading
clerk and directed him to read 1t. Or
dinarily presidential messages at the
opening of congress are listened to in
a perfunctionary fashion, but through
out the reading the keenest interest
was manifested Hardly a member
left his seat until the reading was con-
cluded.
The reading of the message was con-
eluded in the house at 2:35. Mr.. Gros-
.venor then offered the following reso-
luton, which was adopted:
Resolved, That committee of one
member from each state represented
in this house, be appointed on the part
of the house to join such committee
as may be appointed on the part of the
senate to consider and report by what
token of respect and affection 1t may
be proper for the congress of the Unit
oil States to express the deep SENSIBLE
ity Of the nation to the tragic death Of
the late president, William Mckinley,
and that SO much Of the message Of
the president as relates to that deplor-
able event be referred to such COM
.mittee."
In pursuance Of the terms Of the res
olution the speaker appointed a COM
mittee consisting Of one member from
each state and territory.
The house then, as further mark
OF respect. adjourned.
