At least he has decided to do so and
let tie Supreme Court oyerrule him
if itswill-in which case the money
collected in duties under his mil
itary tariff law will be refunded.
TIE SpOoner law, continues the
same authority, will be set aside as
not authorizing anything and as
sanctioning everything. By this
means it has been figured out that
an extra session can be avoided.
TIE President came to this con-
clusipn, it IS announced, after a sol
emn; discussion of the matter with
his cabinet officers, and in conse-
quenee of an opinion handed down
by the Attorney-General. There
are people, however-and politically
wise: people, tOO-who believe that
the alleged solemn conference was
Cooked" in advance; that the
President had never the slightest
ideasof calling an extra session, and
that;all the late fddlededee was
gone through with for the sole and
express purpose Of leading the coun-
try 10 believe that: the President
was 5anxious to avoid anything that
might give force to the charges Of
imperialism.

THE CONVICTS.

The phosphate people have been
satisfied with regard to the leasing
OF the State convicts and the State
will at the same time be better off to
the extent of more than a half mil
lion dollars during the next four
years. The problem solved itself,
as things generally do when the pub
Lie veal is looked after by competent
officials, by the turpentine people
coming to the front with an offer in
excess of any bid made by phosphate
operators.
The proceeds will go, after de-
Quoting $4,000 for the Reforma-
tory School, at Marianna, and the
salaries of a supervisor and chaplain
of State convicts, to the respective
counties for defraying the expenses
of criminal prosecutions, etc., in

AFTER THE NEWSPAPERS.

According to what is considered
reliable authority, it is learned that
the Post Office Department proposes
to prOmuIgate a rule which will ev-
clude from the United States mails
as second-class matter those publica-
tions for which subscribers are oh,
tained by the distribution of pret>-
iums.
The initiative was taken some
time ago by Edwin c. Madden,
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
April 13 a circular letter was sent
to 372 publishers, inviting each to
submit his opinion Of the justice anil
efficacy of the rule which it is pro
posed by the Department to adopt.
Of course only those papers were
selected which were known to be
friendly to the Departments view.
hence the replies received were just
what the Department expected 10
receive.
There is really little if any valid
reason, with reference to the cost ci
carrying the mails, for the promul-
,oation of such a rule. What the Gov
eminent loses by reason Of the abs
c,f the pound rate privilege, ii gain'

MRS. W. S. JENNINGS.

The present ''frst lady Of Flor

talented and gracious, Mrs. William
Sherman Jennings has won the ad-
miration and esteem of the people
of the ''Land Of Flowers" quite as
much by reason of her own charming
personality and unusual accom-
pHshments as on the fact that she is
the devoted wife and trusted coun-

around. The conditions are favor
able to fruit growing, which was at
first the main industry undertaken
bv the colonists who have been
forced by dreadi consumption or
other pulmonary troubles into the
woods. But when the Bee Hive is
started other industries Will take
the place Of this one.
.The Bee Hive is intended to shell
ter workers at mechanics OF many
sorts. The promoter intends that
every man who has trade shall be
allowed to work at it as much as
he likes, and for that reason has put
up big building and has furnished
it with power. Two large turbines
will generate power, which will be a
public commodity. Anyone who
can get machine will be allowed to
set it. up on the floor of the building,
and take the power to run it. The
structure is Of wood, four stories
high, and will accommodate a great
many workers. Not only does the
builder of the house furnish the
power by which the invalids may
run their machines, but undq qrtakes
to find a market for the product. In
other words, the sick and ailing who
come provided they show an anxiety
to work, will be able to contribute a
share to their own support, and will
not be completely dependent upon
others.
The factory is to be conducted
also for those who are willing to
learn trades, and every man who
has strength enough to whittle a
stick will be given something to dc
if he wants to do it. There is to be
no compulsion, and only the willing
and the able are to do any labor
Some are expected to bring thei1
machines with them, but great
number will be given machines tC
work by the manufacturers. Ma
chimes will be installed on the floors
to wait for people to come who car
Use them. Mr.. Patrick has already
received offers Of mechanical ap-
pliances and devices from many
manufacturing firms who desire t.
help the enterprise.
The work will be designed as fal
as possible toward the healthful, anC
it Is expected that most. Of the pro
ducts of the Bee Hive will be OF
wood. The establishment Is stu
ated in the midst Of a pitch pine
district, and the workers will b(
Encouraged to handle the pitch pine
because of the healing influence ot
its OdOr and its dust is likely to have
upon the lungs Of the diseased.
The Bee Hive is only one step il
the system Of industries which tht
SeabOard Air Line is developing. Mr.
Patrick is the commercial agent Ol
the SpabOard Air Line Railroad anC
by good fortune happened to gair
possession of fine tract of land IL
the pine district, part Of which he i.
using as this industrial colony fOl
cOnsumptiyes and people disabled
by other slow or chronic dis
eases. He began by giving tht
people who came to him agriculture
work to do, and he hopes in the enc
to be able to furnish any sick persOl
coming to him an occupation ftteC
to the latter's fingers. A great man,
people are sent to him every yea
from the invalid aid societies al
over the country. Many under tn,
steady occupation and fine air ge
we'll quickly and come away. I'M
arrangement Of the SeabOard Al
Line enables even the poorest ant
sickest to seek a healthful climate
because they can do a little some

An Early Georgia Monster.

In the fore part of August. 1912, q.
party of hunters found in a mountain
Gus region now known as Rabun cOun-
ty, Ga, a being nearly eight feet high
covered with blush hair and having a
human face adorned with immense
ears resembling those Of an ass. The
creature was stGSe deaf and on that
account seemed NhOlly unconscious of
the approach Of the men. This mon
ster seems, from old accounts. to have
been seen upon several occasions dur
ing the next four years.
In 1916 a number of adventures
from Virginia, most Of them surveyors
working up the uneXplOred portions Of
Georgia and the CarOlinaS. formed
themselves into party for the express
purpose Of capturing the uncanny be-
ing if possible. They secured the hills
and valleys for several days and at last
returned unsuccessful to the starting
point,
The many tales told Of this extraordi-
nary being seem to have created quite
a stir all along the Atlantic coast. A
printed circular issued by a land com.
pany in 1915 says, The climate OF
Georgia is exceedingly mild. the sol
productive, and the danger of ATTACK
from uncouth beasts which are repre-
sented as being half beast and hall

CZolgOsz All Right.

Auburn, N. Y, Sept. 3o.-Warden
Meade today gave out the following:
"Czolgosz has eaten his meals regularly
and has had no conversation with any of
the other condemned men. He answered
questions in regard to his meals, such az
inquiry if he would have salt, ETC., which
were put to him by the officers, but aside
from that he has said nothing Part of
the time yesterday he lay on his bed and
the rest of the time he spent walking up
and down his CELL"
Prison Physician Germ visited Czolgosz
but found no need for his services. In
addition to the hundreds of requests from
all over the country for invitations to wit
ness the execution, Warden Meade today
received numerous requests for the auto
graph of Czolgosz, and also some from
medical men for pictures of his brain after
he shall have paid the death penalty.

Five AdnirnIs Present.

Washington, Oct. 2.-There were five
admirals of the United States navy con-
gregated Tuesday within the railing of the
gunners' shop in the navy yard where
the Schley court of inquiry meets. Ad-
miral Dewey and his associat ties, Admirals
Benham and Ramsey, occupied their usual
seats as members of the court, and Rear
Admiral Schley his customary place at
the end of the table set apart for the
applicant in the witness stand.
Rear Admiral Evans, who had been
called yesterday, still occupied his posi-
ton and continued to tell his story OF the
part taken by him as captain of the Iowa
during the historic period of the Santi-
ago campaign.
The proceedings of the day began as
usual with the recall of former witnesses
for the purpose of making such verbal
corrections in their testimony as they
might desire. 1t was the intention today
to hear the testimony of Captain Sigsbee
who commanded the scout st. Paul dur
ing the war with Spain. There was I'M
usual interest manifested in Captain Sigs-
bees probable appearance, not so much
on account of his participation in the war
itself as because of his connection with
the i'll fated Maine, whose destruction in
the harbor of Havana had so important
an influence in causing the war.
Captain Lemly also announced his in
tention of calling during the day Yeo-
man Becker, who occupied a clerical po-
sition on Admiral SIMPSONS flagship, the
New York, during the war. He was sum-
moned with a view of throwing light
upon some of the dispatches sent from
that vessel.

REPORT ON TRADE.

New York, -Bradstreets report OF
trade for last week says: The current
of trade is still running full in nearly
all lines, and in some the tide is still
rising, as is shown by firmer tone or
actual advances in the level of prices,
except for those staples such as cereals,
hogs, products and cotton, which are
dealt in on the exchanges. In distrib-
utive trade the features are the con-
tinued good tone of advices from the
jobbing trade west, northwest and
southwest and on the Pacific coast, and
the better retail trade reported at the
east, due to the advanced season. The
talk of the widespread corn damage,
due to early frosts, seems to have fallen
fat, viewed from the standpoint of corn
prices and of trade reports from affect
ed sections.
Demand for iron and steel has at last
broken the usual trade limits and is
full and free in nearly all lines. Pig
iron is active and in large sale. While
the excessive premiums on tin plates
and other strike affected products have
disappeared, the demand is SO large
Pennsylvania mills have booked orders
two to four months ahead and Chicago
mills as far ahead as the end of 1902
that billets are 81 higher, bars So up,
and a number of other products have
advanced in proportion. SO active has
been the inquiry for steel rails that the
amount of old orders to be carried over
for delivery next year Is estimated at
from $500 to 100000 tons.
The print cloth situation at Fall Riv'
er is peculiar one. A month ago talk
was heard of strikes due to reduction
of wages. Since then prices have ad-
vanced &c per yard, and this week
two mills have announced wages in
creased. The available supply Of cloth
is rumored to be practically cornered,
but against this it is noted the bust
ness is only moderate and that prices
are not as strong, owing partially to
the weakness in raw cotton.
Wheat has apparently reached the
bottom as regards dizziness this week,
speculation being dormant, and what
few price changes occurred were in
sympathy with corn, which was affect.
ed slightly early by frost damage re-
ports and good exports, but absence of
demand induced liquidation, the result
being only fractional changes ON the
week. Hog products weakened and
show quite large reductions, notably in
lard.

North Star, the latest addition to the fleet
of the Maine Steamship company. The lat

away. Although there were about 800 ex-
cursionists aboard her at the time, there
was no excitement, but aboard the Nour-

due to the fact that the yacht was dragged

BIG FIRE At ALTON, ILLINOIS
MANY LIVES WERE LOST.
Stnnard Mating Company's Struc-
ture Destroyed With 100000 Bush
els of Whcat-Estimated Loss Will
Reach Half Million DoIlars--St.
Louis Sent Fire Companies.

st. Louis, Oct Fire that broke out
in the plant of the Stanard Milling COM
pany at Alton, Ill.,, destroyed that struct-
ure and 100000 bushels of wheat and
spread rapidly to adjoining buildings,
driven by high wind. The st. Louis
fire department was called on for help,
and sent up two complete companies on
special train.
The Stanard milling plant, which was
entirely destroyed, covers an entire block
with its elevators and mill. 1t is re-
ported that some of the employees failed
to escape, but this can not be learned
definitely now, as all is confusion there.
The total loss so far is estimated at
100000, of which probably 100000 was
suffered by the E. o. Stanard Milling
company. The territory burned includes
the block on the river front from Plaza
to State street
