Hon. W. H. Ellis, Hon. John S.
Beard, Hon. Samuel J. Hilburn and
Hon. Martin L. Williams, Presiden-
tial Electors for Florida, met in the
Executive office Monday and cast
the vote of Florida for Hon. William
Jennings Bryan and and Hon. Adlai
4. Stevenson. Hon. N. L. Williams
was elected chairman and Hon. S. J.
Hilburn secretary. Hon. VIM, H. Ellis
was selected as messenger to take
the returns to Washington City.
Among the interested spectators
present at the casting of Florida's
Electoral vote were Governor Jen-
nings, Mrs. Jennings, Mrs. Amanda
Jennings, the Governors mother,
Miss Grace Mann and Master Sher-
man Bryan Jennings. Mrs. Amanda
Jennings was peculiarly interested in
the event, as she had partly raised
Hon. Willinm ]. Bryan. The vote
for Vice President was cast in the
hat of Master Jennings.
After the vote was cast and an
nounced, Governor Jennings said
that four years ago he had the same
honor as the present Electors had en-
joyed today in casting their vote for
Mr.. Bryan. He spoke in a very
complimentary manner of the Demo
cratic candidates, Bryan and Ste
phenson. Each Elector responded
in like manner, and the board ad-
journed.

A FAKE SPECIAL.

On the patent frosnt page of the
Monticello Tribune Of January 18th
we find the following startling arti-
Gle:
ga special from madison, Fla,
says: Thursday night two negroes,
Jim benson and half brother, were
taken from the county JAIL by per-
sons unknown; Carried into the woods
about a half mile from town and
hung. The bodies were also riddled
with bullets.
"They are the perions, who a few
weeks ago, were charged with the
/. killing tof- Frederick q Redding, ~
farmer residing in tie northern part
of Leon county. THey fed to Geor-
gia, were arrested, returned to Flor
ida and confined in She Leon county
Jail. !
awhile attending an entertain
mept at the opera house Thursday
night, given by the Knights of Py-
thias, the Sheriff wal informed that
some one wished t. see him. On
reaching the street The KEYS of the
jail were demanded Sf him. He re-
fused, stating that e did not have
them, but several md seized him and
succeeded in getting them. To re-
pair to the jail and q kecute their pur-
pose was the work 1 short time.
The night was cold md rainy.
Ihere was no nOk or excitement
and but few of the citizens knew of
the lynching until I Friday morning,
The sound OF the fiji ing of guns was
heard by many, buS no notice was
taken OF 1t, as during Christmas and
New Year holidays, 1.-THE explosion of
fireworks in town a nd the firing of
pistols In the suburb was of nightly
occurrence. From 1.-The number Of
empty cartridges fo9nd at the place,
IL Is estimated tha the number OF
lyncherS was hundred or more"
AS matter of fact no such crime
was ever committedIin Leon county
and none of the Parties mentioned
even resided in LeOh county. About
that time man mar bed Redding was
Killed In Madison county, and the
foundation for the Test of the story
may have been laid there, but why
it should be chargH to Leon is az
obscure as the authors name. Such
stories are calculated to do county
great harm, and chose who send
them out In such an irresponsible man
ner should be made to suffer for it
The Tribune mai, of course. is no
to blame under the circumstance, bu
it is he who can SEQ lure the name o
the irresponsible author and inform
us who we have thank for sucl
an outrage upon thiS community.

Cardinals Gold Mine.

The phosphate beds of South Car
DINA have yielded an immense reve-
nue. to that State, as will be shown
by the following statement:
Royalties paid into the State Treas.
ury from 1870 to 1900, inclusive,
amounted to $3,242,968.53. The
smallest amount paid in any one year
was in 1870, when the State received
1899. The largest amount in any
one year, 1889, was $237,15O. In
the early days of the industry the
State virtually had no competition in
the markets of the world, and the
companies mining received from Sc
to So per ton for the rock.
This price stimulated the compa-
MES to put forth every effort to Sc
cure rock, and the result was that
from $4,000 to 235,OO0 tons were
put upon the market each year, and
the State received 81 per ton royalty
for all rock sold. Now, owing to the
great depreciation in the value of the
South Carolina rock, caused by the
development of the phosphate beds
in Tennessee and Florida, and the
opening up of phosphate deposits in
foreign countries, the State receives
only Is cents per ton royalty where
the selling price does not exceed IS
per ton.

the following remarks:
1T appears that the accused in this

him to be delayed in his own house

time he piled him with native drink in

designs, that he then gave positive
orders to these men 10 take this I'M

A VOTE Of SEVEN ALL
CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
Tie UP ON The MILITARY
Two Votes Taken But the Result
Was Unchanged Other Items
Passed In Very Quick
Order.

| After a hard days work yesterday
the conference committee ended up by
coming to a deadlock over the military
appropriations. Everything was going
along beautifully when the clerk an.
nounced the department named and
there was Immediately dead silence.
The items were not in the House bill
but had been inserted by the Senate.
Mr.. Bmmeluth was the first to speak
and all he said was: 81 move all the
military items be stricken out of the
bill" Mr.. White moved that the first
item pass. Mr.. c. Brown suggested
cutting the items In two and then let
ting the appropriations 60 through.
Even this compromise did not please
the opposition.
Chairman Baldwin called for a vote
on the question of striking out all the
military appropriations but, not being
satisfied with a show of hands, he call
ed for standing vote and this was
the result:
Ayes--Emmeluth. Monsarrat. Naka-
paahu. Kalauokalani, Puuki. Makainai
and Beckley.
Noes. Brown, G. Brown. Baldwin,
White. Paris, Makekau and Gilhllan.
As will be seen. the vote stood tie
and the chairman was forced to delay
the consideration Of the military items
until today.
The conference committee on coming
together yesterday afternoon, passed
the following items:

The Limit of Power.

In the administration Of President,
Harrison Senator Clark Of Wyoming,
then a practicing lawyer in the Terri.
tory, as it was in those days, was ap-
pointed a judge Of the territorial court.
He was not certain about accepting
the position, and he went over to have
a talk with Judge Corn. the Democrat
ic incumbent. t.
"Hello, Clark" said the Judge.
"Have you come over to be sworn in?"
NO." said Clark. 81 have not yet
made up my mind to take the place."
ooh, take it by all manner of
MEANS" said Judge Corn. ut is
pleasant job. and think you will like
it." '1-s
"But," said Clark. 81 have good
many private matters to attend to,
and cannot accept for some time yet,
anyway. If I conclude to take the
place l will let you know" -.

over and 1 will swear you in, but"

Long-Lived FISH.

Professor Baird devoted a great
deal of time to the question as to the
length of life of fish and he found that
the ordinary carp, if not interferred
with, would live 500 years. In his writ
ings on the subject he stated that
there are now living in the royal
aquarium in Russia several carp that
are known to be 600 years old, and he
has ascertained in number of cases
that whales live to be over 200 years
old. A gentleman in Boston has a
goldfish that he has had for 63 years,
and his father informed him when he
gave it to him that he had purchased
it 40 years before he gave it to his
son,

A Fie,d for Home Eandicraft.

Good designs may be obtained In
two ways; they may be invented or
they may be copied. The first method
is for the genius, the second for the
average worker. All men can, more or.
less, copy what they see. In copying
one who lives near museums and libra
ries has wide field for selection#o or
motives from fine old ceramics, stuffs
and metal work. Yet in country
towns, by cooperation, band OF.
workers can get together enough good
books and magazines on decorative
design to suggest endless artistic pro-
ductions. A general knowledge of
nature form and color will be of great
est utility, and although one may get
principles from books, he should al
ways 60 to nature for inspiration, and
it is taste which enables one to turn
to account both teachings of books and
of nature. 1t is helpful to those who
feel that their environment is not in
spring to remember what world OF
spiritual beauty Burne-Jones created
for himself in the heart of busy Birm--
ingham. sf ~
If in every village, ambition to excel
in a certain branch of fine handicraft
could be aroused, artistic and fnan-
cial benefit to the community would be
great. The gifted few might direct the
efforts of those less artistic, and there
would be saving of time. If anna
teurs everywhere would endeavor to
fashion really beautiful and useful
things, joy and inspiration would fol-
low, especially to those "shut in" from
natures beauty, who spend long hours
working over commonplace things

TRAINED BY MACHINERY.
Wax 10 Teach Elephants Some Old

- Tricks,
they areStrainings elephants by mach
inery, says. the st. Lonis Republican.
1t lis something they did not do in the
;olden times ;rbut, then, people generally
have changed from the old ways, and
there is no reason why elephant trainers
should not do so.
Elephant instructors have devised q
new method Of imparting wisdom to
their charges. In former years there
were as many methods as trainers, but
with the invention of machinery and the
progression of thought material
change has been wrought.
At the present time the elephant in
strictor goes about his work in pre-
cisely the same manner as does the con-
tractor of sky-scraper. If the material
in hand is to be raised, the very quickest
and safest way of elevating it is em-
ployed. If a ten-ton beam is fitted to a
certain position on the fifth floor, it is
placed there in the shortest time pos
sibIe by the use of huge crane. If the
elephant trainer wants an exhibition OF
head-baiarc or rope-walking< he is
enabled BY the use of the crane to fur
nish clue Of the most effective nature
in a minimum OF time.
Dangling at the end of the huge der
rick. the elephant is placed in any posi-
ton. desired Once in this position, his
education is commenced from that point.
The new method of training is an en-
pertinent as yet, but its success is as
sured, at least as far as young elephants
are concerned. Recently circus re-
ceived consignment of dozen or
more baby pachyderms from Ceylon,
Suramtra and India. Their ages ranged
from 8 to IL years, and their weight be-
tween 1900 pounds and ton.
Coming fresh from the iungles OF
tleir native country, the young elephants
possessed anything but docile nature.
Hence, their training was accomplished
only with difficulty.
The beginner was taken into a ring
in the circus training barns and heavy
harness attached to strong crane or
derrick placed around the beasts body
The instructor then gave the command
"Stand on head and forefeet."
This would be Greek, of course, to
the pupil, but the meaning of the COM
mand gradually dawns upon the ami
malls instinct after being lifted into the
air and tilted forward on his head and
trunk sereval times.
Thus, in due course of time, the
youthful pachyderm is taught success
fully all the acts known to elephantine
wisdom.
