II we may Judge of the spirit

the declarations of the State press,
there can be no doubt that great and
radical change has been wrought with

fusing to spend has been replaced by
the business zeal which sees AN OPP
portunity and grasps it, which would
keep Florida communities abreast of
the times, and wuld proviue Sin ad-

an instance, we quote from the Pa

Future Of Mineral Flour Spar.

There are indications that the mineral
flour spar, which Is by no means very
common one. nor yet rare, will In a few
years take a very prominent position In
the science Of electro.metailurgy, and he.
come a very desirable product. At pres.

duced annually In this country from favor.

at a comparatively low temperature, and
when In the fused condition Is capable Of
taking into solution number (perhaps
all) Of metallic oxides, while the impuri.
ties, like quartz, silicates Of alumina, lime,
magnesia, etc., remain undiSsolved, and
rising to the surface of the molten mass may
be skinned or run OF as dross or scum.
In addition the fused solution so made,
proves to be an electrolyte through which
a current Of electricity may be passed and
from which some Of the metals-and per.
haps all Of them-may be collected at the
cathode In state Of purity, the oxygen
combined wi,h them going to the anode.
This is new principle, and looks as II It
might be developed into an entirely new
departure In metallurgy. So far, no other
mineral seems to posses the solving and
electro transmitting or carrying properties
Of the flour spar, and we advise miners
who are aware Of deposits Of the substance
to lose no time In taking them up and pat.
enting them. Flour spar usually occurs
In veins In the older rocks, such as gran.
ite, gneiss, serpentine. mica, schist, etc.,
occasionally In the older limestones and
sandstones. Il Is an easily recognized

fore he left the banquet hall had re-

The body was discovered lying face
downwards on the floor. The features
were slightly bruised, showing he had

ANOTHER TRANSPORT AGROUND.
The Rnwiins on a Coral Reef Near the
Sunken Merrimac.

Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 10.-The
United States transport RaWlins went
hard aground this morning on coral
reef near the wreck of the United States
collier Merrimac. She arrived at day
break, anchored in the bay and then
started to return to Nispero Cove, near
the mouth of the harbor, where is To-
Gated the MORO Castle wharf, intend
ing to embark the troops of the Tenth
U. S. infantry for New York to-day. An
incompetent pilot attempted to pass on
the wrong side of the Merrimac and
struck the hidden reef hard. Three
powerful tugs pulled unsuccessfully all
the afternoon in the attempt to float
the big ship At low tide her bow was
two feet out Of the water. Another at
tempt will be made to float her at high
tide tonight Probably, however, it
will be necessary to rig elaborate tackle
before she can be foated. AS she lies
in protected place, she is in no danger
and the likelihood Is that she is not In
jllred, but all the present indications
point to considerable delay in getting
her off,

PROBA BIY EAT-4LiY INJURED.
Unknown Man Struck by nNTrolIcy Car
on Dixyvell Avenue

About 1915 this morning an unknown
man was struck, and it Is thought fat
ally injured by trolley car on Dixwell
avenue, near Morse street, in High
wood. He was taken to the office of
DR.. Hanrahan, at COS Dixwell avenue.
and from there a telephone call was
sent to the New Haven hospital for the
ambulance The unfortunate man was
taken to the hospital in the ambulance.
He was unconscious, and it was found
that his forehead was crushed in, and
that his face was bruised and mutilated.
1t was thought at o'clock this morning
that there was slight chance for his re-
covery. There was nothing found on
his person by which he could be identi-
fled, and his identity was unknown at 2
o'clock He was rather poorly dressed
and wore an overcoat, but no undercoat
No scrap of paper, which might lead
to his identification, was found in his
pocket. The only articles found in his
pockets were five cent piece and a
tobacco pouch.
The car was coming toward this CITY
and the injured man was placed on the
car and taken to DR.. Hanrahan's office.

Paris DnEssMAKhns' STRIKE.
Assume $ Form idubie Proportions-Nell
Known Houses involved.

Paris, Feb 10.-The strike in the
Paris dressmaking trade has assumed
formidable proportions. The first to
strike were the journeymen tailors en-
ployed by a few firms mainly engaged
in putting out tailor made costumes.
| These, chiefly foreigners, complained
against the arbitrary distribution OF
piece work by the cutters and demand
ed fixed wages. Thus far about sixteen
firms are involved, including such we'll
known houses as Worth, Redfern Pa
quin, Doucet, La Ferriere, D'Oeuliet
and Rauditz.
This afternoon the strikers held a
meeting at the Labor Exchange, where
1t appeared that some 1000 tailors have
joined the movement. Numerous seam
stresses, whom the tailors are urging to
strike en- masse in order to prevent the
employers from setting them to do the
work of the men, were present.
The speakers, among them Louise
Michael. urged the men to hold out on
the ground that the busy spring sea-
son was about to begin and the employ
ers would be compelled to yield. One
orator in the course of a violent
speech, suggested burning the work
shops of recalcitrant firms with petro-
leum, but this proposal met with cold
reception. The meeting finally decided
to demand an eight hour day and six
francs for women. The employers were
given until tomorrow to reply. If they
do not yield, general strike will be de-
clared To-day's action was evidently
an attempt to enlist the support Of the
women.

At the same time the blood absorbs or

Immediately Major Crewe brought

The fight soon became general. The
Beers outnumbered the British five to

JEFFRIES ULIN FIGHT.
Much Anxiety Over the Expected De-
cfsiOn of Judge HOiftster.

Cincinnati Feb. 0--Notwithstanding
the proceedings i'll court here and the
attitude of the governor at the state
capitol this has been a busy day with
the sporting men in Cincinnati. All
outward signs look like the eve of a
great coming event with them. Man
ger Madden and Gus Rubin were kept
busy with visitors at the Country club
early in the day. Manager Brady, Ed
ward Cooke and Others assisted Jeffries
and Delaney in entertaining at their
training quarters on Price Hill. Many
more called than could be admitted at
both places. Tom Sharkey and Spider"
Kelly are happy over their prospects,
as they claim Sharkey is to have the
next chance, no matter whether JEFF
fries or Rubin wins. 1t is said Shar-
key will challenge the winner at the
ringside Some say that Rubin has
been overtrained. Both will go through
their regular practice Monday They
will slacken their exercise on Tuesday
and still more on Wednesday, doing
very little on Thursday. They rest on
Friday.
Meantime there is much anxiety over
the decision of Judge Hollister and the
action of Governor Nash. 1t will be
known within a day or two whether
Judge Hollister will grant permanent
injunction against the contest on the
ground of a public nuisance, but the
promoters do not know what the gov
ernor may do. Even after the fight
shall begin they do not know at what
moment the state. forces may interfere.
as three regiments Of militia are said
to be now under marching orders. They
will know, however, on the day of the
contest whether the troops are here or
whether they are on the way so as to
get here in time to stop the contest.
