AN ANTI-IMPERIALIST.

Prof. Charles Elliot Norton Norton,
who has been a prominent anti-im-
perialist, and a strong advocate of
the right of the Filipino to self-gov-
ernment, went out of his way in his
address to the graduating class of
Radcliffe College the other day to
diSparage Self-gOVernment for wo-
men. If he is correctly reported, he
warned the college girls against wo-
man suffrage. This recalls the words
of Hon. Dudley FOulke at a recent
meeting of the New England Woman
Suffrage Association. Mr.. Foulke
said:
''If you have any frienus who are
at the same time strong anti-im-
perialists and strong anti-suffragists
call their attention to the incOmpat-
ible character of those two PROPOSE
Ions. / am not myself a thorough

In discussing the use of beer as a
substitute for the stronger alcoholic
liquors, the Scientific American en-
phasizes it's injurious effects as follows:
For some years a decided inclination
has been apparent all over the cOun-
try to give up the use of whisky and
other strong alcOhOls, using as a SUBJ
stitute beer and other compounds.
This is evidently founded on the idea
that beer is not harmful, and contains
large amount of nutriment; also that
bitters may have some medicinal quail
ity which will neutralize the alcohol it
cOncealS.
These theories are without confir-
nation in the observation of physic-
Ians. The use of beer is found to pro-
duce a species of degeneration of all
the organs; profound and deceptive
fatty deposits diminished circulation,
conditions of congestion and perver-

CHRISTIAN WORKERS MEETINC

CHRISTIAN WORKERS MEETING.
Dear Friends and Fellow Workers
With the beginning of the new cen
tury a deep and widespread interest
has been manifested by Christians
everywhere in more extensive
preaching of the gospel. Many de-
nominations and societies have made
special efforts resulting in marked
blessing, while other organizations
have sought to prepare the way for
future united activity by calling Chris
tians to prayer and bible study.
there has been every indication
that during the coming season there
will be increased effort with still
greater blessing to the church and the
world. Christians are united in the
conviction that there is a special and
urgent need Of the preaching of the
gospel. the religious and social con-
ditions of our country never needed its
influence and messages of freedom
and hope more nan now. No one will
deny tnat God is ready to own the
preaching of His word and prepare
servants to proclaim 1t. Both the
church and the nation are in danger
from the temptations and evils of pros

perity, which can be overcome Onfy by
the power OF the spirit through preach-
ing the exceeding sinfulneSs Of sin,
the unfailing love and grace OE God
and the atOning death of Jesus CHRIST.
In extending an invitation tS the
Christian public to attend the mine
teenth General Conference for chris
tian Workers to be held in Mortified
this season, August 1 to 1S, ouF ear
nest desire is that the gathering may
Je to all a preparation for effective
work for Christ. In addition to the
usual Lectures on the word of Col, in
StituteS on methOdS of work, and con-
secutiVe courses of bible study, there
will also be opportunities for the con-
sideration of plans for evangeliStic
work at home and abroad during the
coming year. Prominent and sxper-
fenced pastors, evangelists and: mis-
siOnaries will be present to assist with
their counsel and inspiration.
In view Of the special feature, we
earnestly request the prayers Of
Christians everywhere for these forth
coming meetings, and trust that as
many as possible may come together

owner and manager, has the f1eure
of a gladiator. He is a born animal
trainer, being the son of the famous
Mrs. Wombwell, of London, who for
many years directed the largest
trained animal collection in Great
-ritain. His uncle, Sir Charles
WOmbwell, was the originator and
4Ounder of the first travelling men
agerie in the world. Mr.. Bostock is
the successor of this gentleman in
the business. His policy with wild
animals is to conquer them first by
establishing his superiority, and then
by kindness. His methods are worthy
of the serious consideration of the
humanitarian, and psychologist. A
curious fact in this connection is Mr..
BOStOck has several bright children
who invariably refuse to play with
doms and toys. They always cry for
baby lions or baby tigers, and it is
a common occurrence to see Francis
Edward BOstOck, a boy of five. roll
all over two baby elephants in the col
lection. These three play together
like friendly kittens.
SteinWay has placed an elegant
piano which cost $500 in the New
fork State Building at the Pan-Amer-
ican Exposition. The piano is made
of dull finished mahogany. The legs
are DOric columns, made to corre-
spond with those which support the
pOrticOS of the buildings. On the
cover of the piano IS the coat of arms
of the State of New York in1aid in
cOlOred woods. In every particular
the workmanship corresponds with
the style of the room in which it
is placed. This piano will remain in
the building permanently, as what is
now the New York Building will be
the Historical Building for the per-
manent use of lne Historical society

h Lan-American Exposition is Senorita
Esperito da Cenda Her history is a
romantic one. She was born in the
! city of Matanzas, Cuba, thirty-one
years ago in the beautiful mansion of
her father, wealthy sugar planter.
When the war between the CubanS
and Spanish commenced, her brothers
joined the Cuban army, and later
she saw one of them led out and shot
by a detail of Weyler's murderOus
butchers. The Cenda mansion was
confiscated by the Spanish Army, the
vast sugar fields burned and the
house destroyed. She was accused of
Deing a spy, and Orler was issued for
her arrest when disguised as a child
she was Secreted in a wagon, carried
to an out of the way seaport, whence
she was smuggled aboard a filibus-
tering steamer "Laurada," and taken
to Key West. She remained in Flor
ida until hostilities ceased, when she
returned to her Cuban home to find
it in ruins and her parents, brothers
anu sisters killed. The little woman
speaks Spanish, English, Italian and
French, and is an accomplished artist
and musician. When she returned to
Washington, D. c., she was cour-
teously received at the White House
by President Mckinley. During her
interview with him she thanked him
for the aid he had given Cuba. When
he told her goodbye he took white
carnation from the lapel of his coat
, pinned it on her dress and wished
/ her luck in America.
One of the most instructive eX-
hibitiOns on the Midway at the Pan
American Exposition is the great ami
NAL show owned by Frank c. Bos-
took, rightly called the Animal
ling" In an immense circular pa
viliOn are one thousand well kept
and we'll fed denizens of the forest
plain, jungle, mountain and ocean. In
the centre of this pavilion is a stee
arena seventy feet in diameter, in
which many daring feats are per.
formed with wild animals. Amone
these are: Captain Bonavita enters

seven African lions and puts then

ty, the enterpriSing prOspectOrS of this
section have worked quietly, prosecut-
ing their Investigations with certainty
Of existing oil. For years biologists
have believed that the oil could be
secured in this county, and when the
oil fever burst in all it's fury in Marion
county this assertion was renewed
with more interest and activity.
Within few miles of This city, so
a gentleman yesterday informed the
reporter, about four years ago he had
we'll sunk upon his property. He
noticed strong evidence of oil upon
the water, and on one occasion act
ually thrashed a cOlOred boy for
pouring kerosene into the well, be-
lieVing it to be one of his mischieVOus
acts. The thraShing had little effect,
however, for the oily surface and taste
remained intact, and the party finally
was compelled to abandon the well,
when he sank another within a few
hundred feet with the same result.
There being a number of colored peO-
pie in the section, he finally gave up
his effort in disgust, as he felt positive
some person was ''dOctOring" the
water.
When the oil fever developed in
Florida, he again set his pump to
working, when he found the contents
of the we'll more oily than ever, and
as a natural consequence he was sorry
he thrashed the boy, because he was
jubliant over the solid belief that Le
hau struck oil sure enough.
This prospector filed a five gallon
jug with the water and sent it to an
expert for analysis when Thursday he
received a report. He would not en-
tighten us as to the analysis, but ex-
nibited letter from the chemist as
suring him that the contents of the jug
contained an unusually high percentage
of petroleum.
The owner of this property, who
does not desire yet that his name be
made public, is one of the best known
BUSINESS men in this county, a gentle
man prominent in manufacturing Cir
cles. He believes confidently that he
can strike a ''gusher" within 5000 feet
which will yield a bountiful stream
and proposes within the course of the
next thirty days to begin operations
of boring.
1t is believed, and the theory has
been advanced by biologists, that Flor
ida is composed of what might be
termed a backbone" of the Apalachee
system of mountains. This backbone
is composed of flint rock and other
compositions which go to produce min
eral, and from which the petroleum
and natural gas is extracted. This de-
pOsit is formed on an incline Of about
fifteen degrees, and extends through
the centre of the State, the main body
of which is about five miles to the
westward of Gainesville.
Inasmuch as Gainesville is situated
forty-eight miles north of the With
lacoochee oil fields, and on the same
range, it stands to reason that if pc.
troleum exists at all it must be sever
hundred and twenty feet nearer the
surface here, taking the incline into
cOnslueratiOn.
The Sun predicts that before many
months the oil industry of this county
will be one of the most important anC
profitable in the history of the State
Gainesville Sun.
