CONDITION OF THE KING
MAIN TOPIC OF INTEREST IN
 LONDON.
The Court Dressmakers are Seriously Affected, Orders for Coronation Robes Being Very Light-Ed-
 wards Continued Activity.

Lon lon, Oct. 2S.-The pertinacity with which society discusses the rumors re- garding the health of King Edward has had a serious effect on the court dress makers. who expected ere now to have been busily engaged on. the coronation robes, etc They are keeping large stars in almost complete idleness. The mem bers of society have apparently made up their minds that they will not go to any expense until they feel sure that the coronation will really occur. There is a very clearly defined impression in the diplomatic corps that the King IS threatened with some organic complaint.
 Some go so far as to say 1t Is can cer or Brtghts disease. or both. Prob ably the truer solution is that the can cer rumor springs from the Kings ott- expressed dread of cancer. which has made such ravages in his own. family. and that whatever ailment may threaten him it has not reached any definite or dangerous stage, else he would be quite unable to keep up his incessant round Of public duties and private pastimes with the regularity and zeal which he con- tnues to display. In spite of these facts the:e is undoubtedly very alarming pre- monition in court circles. especially among the women, that the King will never live to be crowned, which is hav- ing a serious effect on trade. The favor ite story in this connection now current is that a palmist told Queen Alexandra not long ago that she would never live to be crowned.

FLORIDA ORANGE CROP.
The Prospect for Tbis Year Better
 Than Usual.
TaIIahassee. Fla., Special.

Tallahassee, Fla, Special. - -
 Since the disastrous freeze of Se5 many persons have been inclined to the bellet that inc orange-growing Industry in this State has seen it's best days, and that never again VII any crop reach the proportions attained each season during the early nineties.
 Such skeptcism is not justified by the facts. On the contrary, there reasons for believ- ing-and the State Department Of Agriculture is authority for the opinion-that in the near future the orange crop marketed from Florida groves each season will be much larger than they ever were This belief is based upon the fact that most of the old groves. of what many term the palmy days" have been re- habilitated and are rapidly getting into pear ing condition; productive, 1T not more SO than ever before, while new virgin lands in the far southern portion of the Florida pc been planted in orange groves and prov. ing to be splendidly adapted to the production of the finest grades of oranges.

TELLING A LIE.
Suppose the Falsehood is Actuated
 by a Good Motive.

New York Journal. ~
 Dr. Benjamin E. Andrews makes this assertion: e'' Alie is not a lie if actuated by a good motive Veracity is an atti- tIde of the mild rather than an absolute quality
 There is nothing more foolish than to preach outside of juvenile classes that truthfulnes is necessarily a virtue In itself Virtue consists in doing your duty' and very often the telling of lie IS a dutv. In nine cases out Of ten lying IS despicable because the liar lies in order to shield himself. He lies through covardice He lies because he wants to deceive and swindle or to escape the con- sequences of his misconduct.
 But lying is something noole' ana It is very often necessary Every doctor must lie every day. If he told nervous inWaIid the truth, he would simply des- troy his chances of recovery. If he told a trembling mother the exact facts about her own child's illness, he would orten render her absolutely unfit to care for 1t. If he told the support of family the truth about himself, he would divert that mans energies to hyp0chondriacal in trospection and ruin his usefulness.
 Galilei was compelled on his knees to deny that the earth went around the sun. He did deny it, knowing perfectly well that at that very moment the earth was going around the sun and that he and his judges were making the journey with it. He knew that between the beginning and the end of his recantaIon the whole farce of which he was the center had moved great many miles through space.
 But he denied that the earth moved to please those who exceeded him in physical force. He lied. He knew that he lied. and he lied nobly. His was a useful lie. He had very important work to do. It was right that he should tell a lie, forced upon him, in order 10 save his life and to give to the world the full benefit of the magnificent intelligence which God had given him.
 The man who knows that he is dying of consumption will smile ten times day and tell his anxious wife that he feels better. The daughter caring for her sick mother and almost exhausted with fatigue declares that she is not tired and that she was asleep while her mother was sleeping.
 Those lies are written on the right side of the recording angels book.
 If you lie to save yourself. you are, of course. coward and liar of the ordinary kind. If you lie to spare the feelings of others. and If you really spare their feelings and do not encourage them to useless effort CT otherwise injure them in the end, you are simply doing your duty.
 Of all mans blessings those are great est of which he knows the least and to which he pays least attention. Perhaps the very greatest piece of good luck in all our human existence is this:
 That we cannot read each other's s thoughts and that it is possible for each of us to make the lives of others "a little more bearable by presenting things kindly if sometimes untruly

SNAKE EATER ARRESTED. Woman Who Flats Elm Alive
 Charged with Being Drunk.

Yesterday was q remarkable day fin police circles. With all the big crowds in the city incidental to tho opening of the Fall Festival and the circus few ar rests were made.
 Up to 1 o'clock this morning only a few cases had been inscribed on the police blotte' and those few of minor character.
 At s:30 o'clock last night a white wo- man was locked up on the charge of drunk-very. She gave her name as Florence Williams and her occupation that of professional snake eater, but whether eating 'em alive" or Whiskey Avenue liquor had caused her jag is not known.

Statement May Be Necessary.

New York, Oct 2S.-Commenting upon the report that King Edward is suffer- ing from cancer in the throat. the Lon don correspondent of The Journal and Advertiser says:
 That the King has some ailment which has taken the color from his usually ruo- dy cheeks and given occasional cnfeeble- ment to his gait, is undouoted. The Eng fish papers. as a rule, carefully refrain from making allusions to his ailment ana rather incline to speak of his good state of health. but the fact cannot be long concealed that something serious Is the matter with him. In the clubs in hlgh society. and iA the business circles of the city the main topic daily is the King condition. The old runlors, true Or un- true, that the King is suffering from threatened anerusom of the aerota have penetrated every circle. It is impossible to get at his physicians and his inauiries addressed to those surrounding him are met by dismal head-shaking. The gov ernment will soon be compelled to make some authoritative statement

The orange crop of the approaching season is estimated by the Department of AgTieul- boxes. which will net the growers an aver age of at least two dollars per box. Experts hold to the view that within five years the yield of oranges in Florida will be large as it ever was, and a much greater acre age is now planted in groves, the crop will continue to increase in size until 1t reaches enormous proportion. It is the opinion of the department that the glory of Florida an orange producing State lies in the near fu- t1,rn rrlt n fhe nast

The Largest Crop.

The largest orange crop produced in Florida was that of Is93o4, and it approxi- mated five millions of boxes The greater part of the next crop was caught on the trees py the great freeze and ruined. Most of the groves were very seriously injured, some of them destroyed outright.
 4 few of the growers became greatly discour- aged and quit. The majority, however showed their pluck and faith by resetting and improving their groves. and they are begin ming to realize reward for their sufferings and perseverance.
