a NEW SALVATION ARMY.

Another religious organization Of ma.

The methods Of the Salvation Army are
TO be adopted, but special aim viii

souls but 1t Is evident that a few
well-mcaning persons, having grown
tired Of the exactlons Of Salvation
Army life. and perhaps dissatisfied be-
cause not promoted rapidly enough,
have conceived the idea OF starting an
army Of their own, IN which they
can have the places OF commanders,
with others performing the less agree

way churches ana organizations very
often divide and subdiyide, Ambition
leads TO splits In the ranks and some

one would think with such an aim,
the first thought would be to search
the Scriptures to learn what the divine
plan Is. and then appeal 10 the Author
Of that plan for the necessary authority
and wisdom to carry It out. Were the
question Of saving sick person from
death, the absurdlty Of trying all kinds
Of experiments would be apparent at a
glance. In such case the best skill
available would be consulted. Direc-
lions based on deep study and long ex-
perIence would be carried out con-
scientlously. But when the question OF
curing souls Is involved, II appears that
any kind OF experiment Is considered
efficient, from the music Of organs In

PANIC AT CAPE TOWN,

a brief dispatch from Cape Town an
nounces that entertainments are being
constructed from False Bay TO Table
Bay, and this may fairly be taken as
an indication that the present invasion
Of Cape Colony by the Beers is regard
ed as quite serious, And according to
reports, the fears OF the people Of Cape
Town are justified. one estimate places
the number OF Beers now in the field at
10000, They are all determined patriots
with over a years training In active
service on numerous bsttlehelds, and
their ranks are said to b. daily aug
mented by Beers from the farming dis.
tricts OF the colony. They seem to have
no lack OF arms or horses. and they
certainly have no lack OF daring They
are operating at widely separated
points. and yet evidently with some
common object In view.
What renders the situation more serl-
Gus is the probability that with the
rainy season. sickness will deplete the
ranks OF the British, already worn out
by the incessant activity Of the enemy.
The landing Of naval gunners from the
Monarch and the construction OF fOrtlf-
cations around the region Of Cape Town
indicates that the people are almost
panic stricken,
II IL hardly probable, though. that the
Beers will attack the town, Their ex-
perlence at Ladysmith Kimberley and
other places should have taught them
that their strength is not IN the offens-
i've Their sole aim, probably. Is to in
duce the Colony Beers 20 general ris.
ing. II seems however, that General
Kitchener has proposals Of terms OF
peace that have been accepted by the
Pretoria Beers, and II so, the time for a
rising would seem TO be past But the
news from South Africa is not only
scanty, but also oneslded. and It is
difficult to judge from the censured dis
patches. Of the real situation. Startling
developments may be expected az any
moment on the scene Of the war; though
II has been said to be virtually ended
long ago.

Porto Rico Orange Culture.

Major A. G. Sharp, a well known Cali
fornian, writes to the Fruit Grower the
following letter abont the culture of
oranges in Porto Rico:
Referring TO your article on Porto Rico
oranges, in your issue of April 18th, de-
sire to say that lived nearly two wears
in Porto Rico, lS9S-l9O0, and became
very familiar while there with their
oranges. Parties from Florence came
there and set out 100 acres; another
orchard near San Juan of 200 acres was
put out and one near Catana, across the
bay, of several hundred acres. The best
place for this fruit OH the island is in the
mountainous region near Mayaguez, and
the area is limited. / was there during
the great hurricane of August s, when
nearly every leaf was blown off the trees.
Thousands of coffee trees were blown
down. The atmosphere Is very moist,
having the highest percentage of humid
ity in the world. The rainfall is over ten
feet per year. Scale abounds in the
orange trees, the fruit is full of water,
rag and seeds; the skin Is puffy and will
not stand for shipment by sea. A very
large percentage of the Jamaica and other
tropical oranges decay before reaching
the New York market Yet the Florida
people are hopeful that they can get forty
or fifty cents box and if SO, feel encour-

from that region can ever compete with

MIA oranges for sale in the fruit stores in

that they have to import from us after
their own fruit is out of the way. Their
season is necessarily very short. Cali

Candidate for Senator Again.

Senator Mallory has taken the editor
of the Gainesville Sun into his confidence
and stated that he would be a candidate
for reelection for the term beginning
March 4, 1908. The Sun says:
''Senator Mallory writes that he has
recovered his health, and he feels as well
now as he ever did. This being the case,
tine senator should net be made an ex-
eeptiOn TO the rule which has heretofore
given to every Florida Democratic sena-
tor a second term, but he should be re-
elected without opposition. With mis-
health fully restored, the people of Flor
ida could not select a more honorable,
capable and influential man to represent
them in the United States senate"
The indications are, however, that
Senator Mallory will have very decided
opposition. Congressman Sparkman,
who seems to be one of the most popular
statesmen in Florida at present, has a
large following and is being very favor
ably mentioned for the senatorial toga.
Ex-Gov. Bloxham is also mentioned as a
possible candidate.
