SHE RUNS RIVER PACKETS.
Misso"ri woman Who Is the Only One
of Her Sex in the Bust
ness.

At La Grange, Mo-, an important
landing for steamboats, on the Missis-
sippi river. Miss Lena Bohnon is the
duly accredited agent of packet
company and discharges all the du-
ties OF ihe office o the satisfaction OF
all concerned. She enjoys the unique
distinction of being the only member
of her sex to fill such IA position, lher
in this or any other eountry, and is
proud of the fact, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
1t is only recently that it has been
possible for a woman to successfully
discharge the duties of such an office.
Years ago the steamboat agent was
a man. He had TO be, because he had
to hustle aboard arriving steamers
and then hustle off as the gang plank
was being hauled in. Then he had
frequently TO mingle with the roust-
abouts.
But there are not as many steam
boats now as there used to be, and
the business isn't done in the same
way. This may, in part, account for
Miss Lena Bohon's position. She was
appointed in 1898 after the death of
her father, who had been the agent of
the Diamond Joe line for 40 years. She
is now agent for five steamers, three
plying between St. Louis and 81. Paul
and two between keokuk and Quincy.
Miss Bohon has no assistant. She is
always ready for duty a the oldfash-
toned WAREHOUSE. When steamboats,
a night announce their approach Miss
Bohon, who lives with her mother five
blocks away, hastily dresses, picks up
her lantern and hurries TO the landing
place. If she desires the steamer to
stop she flashes her lantern in GER
tain way.
Officials of the packet companies aver
that she is one of the most faithful,
accurate and capable agents in their
employ. She sells tickets, makes out
freight bills and receipts, collects
weekly accounts with the merchants
and other shippers and checks off
every bale of hay, bushel of wheat or
tub of butter that goes on board
boat She oversees personally the re-
ceiving and discharging OF. freight.
AT. the age of Is the affairs Of the
office could be safely intrusted to her
care during short absence Of her
father. She grew up in the atmos-
'phere or this active life and her de-
sire to continue in its environment is
but natural.

SMART BOYS In WALL STREET
Messenger Lads Who Devise shreud
Schemes to Beat the Bucket
shops

Wall street sharpens the wits of
boys and frequently tempts them to
dishonesty. In one case, saws the New
York Sun, boy who carried orders
from the Office partner of the firm to
the board member fell under suspicion.
The firm found that a certain bucket
shop seemed to know of it's orders
even before they were placed. Individ-
ual orders do not always affect the
market. but this particular firm repre-
scented interests that did frequently
control the rise and fall of certain
stocks. The messenger was carefully
watched, but at first nothing out of
the way could be discovered about him
He went straight to the exchange and
hurried as though his life depended
on it, In his haste he often collided
with other boys. Finally it was no.
ticed that, whenever he had an order
of any Importance he invariably had a
collision. He ran into boy, whispered
to him the order which he had on
slip of paper, disentangled himself
from the mix-up, and sped along to
the exchange. The second boy ran
to bucket shop in the neighborhood,
turned in the tip, and his friends there
acted on the firms order even before
it had reached the floor.
Another scheme which stirred up
the whole exchange was worked by
four boys Three of them were mes
sengers. The fourth was an expert
telegrapher. None of the four was
more than Is years old,
The young telegrapher was in the
telegraph room of the stock exchange,
and, although he wasn't one of the
operators, he could read by ear every
thlng that came over the wire When
anything important turned up he gave
information at once to boy outside.
1t was never found out exactly how he
did it, but the boy outside had base
pail whose cover was slit. He tucked
the slip of paper under the leather and
threw hot ball to another boy half
a block down the street This third
boy drove the bali to a fourth boy. at
the door of well-known bucket shop.
This boy took out the slip. read it.
and made bucket shop deals accord
lngly The boys had only a few hun
dred dollars. to start the game with.
out they always Won; and in times Of
great excitement and Auctuation they
made big sums, for they had their in
formation before news Of the big
movement could reach the bucket shop
through the ordinary channels. The
bucket shop brought about the ex-
/ poSure.
a scheme very similar was worked
on the consolidated stock and petro-
leum exchange by three BOYS. only in
this case the boys passed The tip along
by sign language and the third boy,
posted at the door of the exchange,
ordered his broker to act upon the
news.

Death of Prominent Citizen of Rocky
Point-COtton Growers Meet.
Gainesville, Fla. Nov IA message
received in this city yesterday from
Rocky Point bore the sad news of the
death of Mr.. Van Taylor, whose de-
mise took place at his home at that
place Tuesday night or Wednesday
morning, hemorrhagic fever being the
cause. Mr.. Taylor was a native of
Maryland, coming from near Seaford.
He was a man who held the respect
and esteem of every one. By profess
sion a farmer, he was very successful,
and was fast coming to the front as
a trucker. About eighteen years ago
he moved to this county, where he has
since resided and made an excellent
citizen Deceased was about 40 years
of age.
Some seven years or eight years ago
Mr.. Taylor was united in marriage
TO Miss Agnes Barton, the love
able daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. d.
L. Barton, among the most highly re-
spected residents of Rocky Point sec
ton. To them were born three chill
dren, all of whom with the wife. sur
viVe him. AS a father he was kind and
indulgent as a husband devoted and
| true, and as a friend, steadfast. He
will be sadly missed at Rocky Point.
The remains were brought to this
city yesterday, and inferred in Ever
green Cemetery.
That the Alachua county exhibit at
the State Fair will be a splendid one,
goes without saying. The Fair COM

this exhibit will appear a complete
list of the members of the Eleve Asso-

of low prices received attention, and
all agreed to hold their cotton until
better prices prevailed. A vote of
thanks was rendered Harvie Jones of

was the sense of the meeting that an
immense warehouse should be built
for storing cotton, and this will be

VIRGINIA CONVENTION.
Yesterdays Session Made Record for
Rapid Work.


richmond Va, Nov. 1.-THE Consti-
tutional Convention to-day made the
record of the session for rapid work
The consideration of the report of the
committee on Legislative Department
was completed, with the exception Of
one or two sections. which were by
general consent recommitted, one of
them relating to the departments Of
agriculture and labor.
There were only a few important
amendments adopted. One of them was
offered by Mr.. Meredith, allowing the
Governor to veto any item in an appro-
priation bill and approve Others.
Mr.. Glass presented his new suffrage
clause, and Mr.. Harrison offered an
ordinance relating to subjects of dis
trict taxation. The convention was in
session nearly four hours.
Mr.. Glass suffrage plan was offered
as substitute for the majority and
minority reports of the Committee on
Franchise.
1t differs from the majority plan in
that its provision requiring applicants
for registration to understand and eX-
plain any section of the state consti-
tuition, is of a temporary nature, and
is discarded after the first general reg
istration under it, which registration is
made a permanent roll. The under
standing clause of the majority report
is, on the other hand, a permanent
feature, applying to all future cleo
tions.
The Glass plan differs from the mi
nority report of the committee, in that
it renders possible the exclusion from
the registration lists until the poll tax
goes into effect, of a large percentage
of the negro voters. This poll tax Of
81. so becomes effective Jan. /, 1903, and
is made prerequisite to the right of
suffrage.
After Jan. 1. 1903, every person must
pay this tax, except persons who have
seen active service in the time of war
in the naval or land forces of the
Union, the Confederacy or the state
of Virginia. After the date indicated
all persons applying for registration
are put upon terms of absolute equal
ity. They must pay $3.50 tax as a
prerequisite to registration and must
make application in their own hand
writing and prepare their ballots with
cut aid from any source. The plan
also provides for equal representation
of both political parties on the cleo
ton boards, a provision contained in
neither of the other plans. The posi-
bilities of maladministration of the
understanding clause end under the
Glass proposition with the first gen
eral registration, while under the ma
jority plan they continue indefinitely.
On the other hand the Glass plan eX-
cludes more negroes from the prelim-
mary registration than would the plan
offered by Senator Daniel, known as
the minority report, while the Thorn,
or majority report is supposed to be
intended to exclude as many negroes
as possible for as long a period as
possible.

FIRST SIXTEEN YEARS
Determine Structure and Physical
Health.

If parents could realize what crime
they commit in permitting children to
have heavy drugs during their early
life, such drugs, for instance, as cof-
fee, which stunts their growth, pre-
pares them for dyspepsia and nervous
wrecks, they would do anything go to
any amount of trouble and care, to
change the methods and give their
children the advantages that nature
demands to produce perfect specimens.

hurt me, for with his strong body, ap-
parently without nerves, he was not
consciously affected by coffee, but the
effect on me-a bundle of nerves-was
to develop restlessness and stunt my
