u,,,o Immense Dining Hall to BE Cor

Extensive improvements Made at

inc the Most Remarkably Success
s,,I in the History of st. Augustine
- the East Coast Generally.
Ct Augustine Fla, April 7.-Joseph "A.
Macdonald of the firm of MacGuire
MACDONALD. builders of Mr. Henry M.
1gaeler's famous hotels and adjuncts on
the Florida east coast, is spending Eas-
.or here. Mr.. Macdonald informs the
,ra,,s correspondent that Mr.. Flagler will
odd A33 rooms to the Hotel Royal Poinci-
ana and will increase the size of the i'm
,nense dining hall proportionately, this
summer. This addition is thirty rooms
larger than the Breakers, which, with
+,e Roval Poinciana, was enlarged last
summer to meet the increasing demands
even those additions were proven to be
;padeouate for the past seasons busl-
ness.
Mr. FIagler has also instructed MCGUIRE
g. Macdonald to remove the present rail-
road bridge spanning Lake Worth, from
onnosite the Royal Ponciana to a point
a quarter of a mile north of the hotels,
which materially aid in the comfort and
convenience of the guests, as the rail-
road will have its station on the north
east end of the Royal Poincana, instead
ri as at present, being between that no.
,el and the Breakers.
Mr. Flagler's palatial Cottage" in re-
nlity villa, is being built north OF the
Royal Poinciana, but sufficiently far
south of the railroad to be remote from
any discomfortng noises.
The rumor given out by those profess
ing to be near Mr.. Flagler that he (Mr.
Flagier) was about to purchase the Hotel
Tampa Bay, at Tampa, and add it to his
florida East Coast system of hotels, is
without a shadow of reason.
The East Coast of Florida has never
before had so prosperous a season as the
one of 1901. The Ponce de Leon and AL
Cazar have both enjoyed ten weeks
full house, and, of course, this conges-
ton of prosperity has also attacked the
dozens of smaller hotels in st. Augustine
and every available cottage room was
rented for the overflow of guests by them.
The same conditions existed at Ormond,
Rockledge, Palm Beach, Miami and Mas
Sau, mainly Iilouoh -A-' ieeiS . Ao-iA
enterprises and the material assistance of
the superb railway facilities given by the
Seaboard, the Atlantic Coast, the South
ern and Plant railways, the Ocean Steam
ship ana Clyde Line. All have co-operat-
ed and contributed in the success of
Florida's last tourist season.
The Nassau hotels, the Royal Palm Mi
ami and the Breakers are CLOSED. The
Royal Poinciana, Palm Beach, closes to-
morrow; the Ormond closes on Tuesday,
the Ponce de Leon will lower it's gates
on Friday morning. and the AlcaZar will
close April 30. The Magnolia and Valencia
will remain open to accommodate the
struggling winter visitors until May is.

Marriages Not Recognized,

Montreal, Quebec, April 7.-Archbishop
Bruchesi to-day issued a pastoral letter,
dealing with the judgment in the Delpit
case, which declared marriage of Catho-
lies by nom Catholics legal.
AN unions" says the Archbishop,
contracted with invading impediment
for which competent authority has not
granted dispensation, even though civil
power looks upon such unions as valid
and legal, must be considered as null and
invalid. This is a point of doctrine that

The Archbishop concludes by pronounce
ing the sentence of accommodation on
all those who disobey the laws of the
church concerning marriage, reserving
the right to himself and the vicar gem
eral to absolve those who become guilty
of such a fault

AT WESLEY MONUMENTAL.
Easter Sermons and Easter Music
Marked the Services.

Two exceptionally beautiful and inter
esting services were held at Wesley Mon
umental Church The church had been
tastefully decorated with lilies and palms.
and the altar in particular presented a
most attractive appearance.
Rev. Ed F. Cook conducted both serv-
ices. In the morning he preached from
the text But now is Christ risen from
the dead, and become the first fruits of
them that slept" At night the subject
of his sermon was Life and Death

cialy fine. In the morning the choir. con-
sisting of a double quartette, under the
direction of Mr. S. p. Snow, sang Shell

Risen" (Schnecker), was excellently sung
by Mr.. w. A. Reaves, with flute obliga-
to by MIR. Frank j. Guiffrida.

THE DISCOVERY or AMERICA.
French Philosophers Long Argued
That 1t Was Curse to Mankind.

French Philosophers Long Argued
That II Was "a Curse to Mankind.
From the Boston Transcript.
Dr. John Fiske in his concluding lee
ture at the Lowell Institute on New
England and New France. gave an ac-
count of the old French conception of the
discovery of this continent and the char
acters of the several governments which
tried to establish themselves here. He
said the French philosophers wrote prize
essays at the end Of the eighteenth CEN
fury on the question whether the discov-
cry of America was blessing or a curse
to mankind, and that they were almost
unanimous In the verdict that Il was a
curse. Indeed, they had good reasons to
think so, IL they narrowed the interests
of mankind down to the interests Of their
own country, because the French had
been crushed both in New England and in
Canada, and they had been driven away
from their possessions on this continent
and had lost prestige In the eyes of other
European nations, as we'll as In the eyes
of the savage indian tribes. The ques-
ton was not easy to answer. America
was responsible for much misery and dis
content In the Old World Spain entered
into the struggles here against hereey
and freedom, drawing large sums OF
money from this country, but in the
meantime she grew weaker while her adj
versaries were thriving, So IT was not
altogether certain that her efforts were
doing her as much good as harm. 1t
might be admitted that France once had
a strong position in the New World but
II is most remarkable that after her, not
able defeat she at once confessed her fall
to be irretrievable, and she never more
attempted TO regain her lost power.
The lecturer discussed the important
elements of national vitality in the sew
eraI governments which sought possess
sions here. showing that the insistence up
on uniformity, as was done by the des-
potic governments of France and Spain,
sends towards inferiority. while a divers
ity of opinion and variety of character,
OF che Spanish people is lowered. The
Spaniards Of the nineteenth century as
compared with their contemporaries, are
on a lower level than those OF the sig
tenth century. France was robbed OF
her intelligent element when her skilled
and trained artisans OF broad minds left
her, and her loss IN this respect was
Americas gain. Comparatively speaking,
no great bodies OF people have been ex-
PEELED from England 70 detract from her
national character, no very arbitrary gov
ernmenta regulations tied the English
men In this country down 70 any ancient
course OF thought or action. but the peo-
pie we're allowed 20 take care % them

principals Of government. The eventual

HOW TO FATTEN QUAIL.
Kept In Dark Room, They Feed
Whenever They Think It's Sunrise.

Nept an IN Dark ROOM, hney Eeeu
Whenever They Think It's Sunrise.
From the Lodon Express.
Mice plump birds, amt they. Strip
1t was in Leadenhall Market, and the
speaker was a nondescript person. with
a suggestion of feathers and the loose
hairs of dogs about him. The reference
to plumpness applied to many rows OF
quails displayed on the stall of a poul-
terer; and the man seemed to gloat low
ingly over the array of little birds.
They were admittedly plump.
II stuffed them BIRDS" he continued,
discursively.
But they're not stuffed birds, they're
real'
''Garhr' he remarked with scorn. II
don't mean the coves as fills birds skin
with feathers and puts i'm on a wire I'M
der a glass shade. We stuff EN- for the
market to get 'em fat. Lor' bless ye,when
them birds come from Egypt--that's
where they breed 'em mostly--there amt
piclkin' of flesh on their bones. We feeds
EN- up. artificial"
Rather slow work, isn't It? You cram
them, / suppose like turkeys?'
Who are you gettin' at mister? Dye
mean to say you don't know ow they fat
ten quails for table? No? Why, it's all
done by electric light. Yes, and VIC gets
'em plump In less'n a week
You see, when the quails come 20 us
they're in bic crates cages like. We
take EN- to big cellar, underground,
turns off the electric light, and let 'em
ave sleep. Then we turn the light on
and give EN- a feed.
"Quails, you see, eats fust thing in the
morning, and eats earty. So they eats
a 'eavy breakfast, and then we turns
out the lights, and they go to sleep
again.
Seems simple enough. But what makes
them fatten so quickly"
why in two hours we turns on the
light again, and the silly birds wakes up
and think it's tomorrow-not KNOWN,
dye see, wot electric light is. So as
the SUMS up, accordin' to their belief,
they sets to and as another breakfast.
Then we turns off the light again, gives
en- another nap, rouses EN- again. have
another breakfast. an there you are.
I've known the birds feed as many as
six times of a AFTERNOON thinkin' each
time they wuk up 1t was next mornin."
How does their appetite last out?
Don't they feel bit full?'
Full amt the word. Stuffed to the
neck, they are. But they know it's their
dooty to eat when the sun rists, an they
do 1t. Some of 'em that's a bit old and
artful, they suspects a bit.
i've seen an old cock bird squirt up
at the light and then at his food, and
shake his wings, and peck at the place
where Is stomach is a-givin' i'm trouble
Then he begins to refuse 'is food. and
takes to frettin,' and won't fatten no
more.
ONE sickness, some says II is; but
not me. The little beggar as dyspepsy,
that's all, and goes through the same
feelin's as the coves you read about in
the papers that as saved their lives by
takin' to Buffin's Blue Pills, for Bilious
Blokes.
I'VE don't give 'em no pills--just pick
'em out, wiring their necks, and sell 'em
to the cheap restorongs."
