LAWYERS SUDDEN DEATH.
Mr.. H. r.. Smith, n wealthy Citizen
of Orlando Passes Away at
Gainesville,

Gainesville, Fla. March 29.-H. r.
Smith. a prominent attorney and large
land owner of Orlando, died suddenly at
the Brown House this afternoon. Some
excitement was created by the report that
Mr.. Smith had committed suicide, but
this is believed to be an injustice to the
deceased.
Mr.. Smith came here from Orlando
Wednesday He was just up from a se-
we're spell of grip. He was I'm feeble
health. but seemed to be improving. This
morning he came down to breakfast, stat
ing that he felt pretty we'll. About 2:3O
p. m, Mr.. Smith was suffering consid-
erabiy and DR.. j. f. McKinstry was call
ed. Mr. Smith was In an unconscious
condition and could not be aroused. He
died about twenty minutes after.
DR.. McKinstry stated that his impress
sion was that deceased came to his death
from heart failure. The general impress
sion, is, however, that deceased came to
his death by accidentally taking a dose
of wrong medicine as several bottles of
various kinds Of medicine were on a table
at his bedside.
The body Will be shipped to Orlando to-
morrow morning. Mr.. Smith was a man
of considerable means and had consum-
mated several large land deals In this
county, among them being the purchase
of a large tract Of timberlands.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

TURE OF TRADE REPORTS.

Face of All This the Farmers Com

New York. March 2s.-Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
The condition of general business is in
most respects satisfactory. The dry
goods trade, and particularly the cotton
division, is gloomy, at further reductions
in prices of staple goods this week. and
demand falling to increase with the shad-
ing of quotations, but from every other
department of business reports are cheer
full, and the outlook for good spring
retail turn over is encouraging. There Is
little difficulty over collections in any al
rection, and the mercantile demand for
money from numerous quarters is proof
of the confidence felt among manufacture
ers and jobbers. The labor situation Is
more tranquil Mining differences in the
soft coal region are settled and sober
counsels seem to have prevailed among
anthracite miners.
Aside from the expected advance in
structural shapes there is comparative
steadiness in iron and steel After more
or less advance every week for two
months 1t is gratifying to find that Besse-
mer pig remained seven days without al
teration. The tone is firm and producers
report all recent sales for early delivery.
While exports of cruder forms are light,
other countries having reduced prices un-
til their competition is felt, there is no
diminution in the foreign demand for
bridge material and other finished pro-
ducts Consolidation of Valley furnaces
is practically assured and promises to be
a powerful force in the industry.
A New Low Record for Cotton.
1t was not possible to maintain the
small rally late last week in cotton and
subsequent reaction established a new
low record for the crop year. While the
decline has been severe mills are not
ready to purchase freely, and foreign
buying for the month is far below last
years. Efforts will be made to prevent
the enormous acreage meditated, but I'M
paralleled sales of fertilizers have already
occurred.
Wheat did not respond to rumors of
damage, but found reason for strength in
Atlantic exports. including flour in four
weeks of II, 432,947 bushels, against $685.

Failures for the week numbered 206 in
the United States, against 2oS last year,
and 20 in Canada, against 80 last year.

WILLIAM TALKS POLITICS.
Between Russia and Germany is
as Cordial as Ever.

Berlin, March 29.-According to the
Kleines Journal Emperor William, DUR
ing toast last evening, said:
Attempts have been made to disturb
the cordial friendship between Russia and
Germany. 1t is certainly not my fault
if such attempts have temporarily proved
successful"
The Berliner Tageblatt, which confirms
this statement, asserts that the Emperor
made a second speech, wnen replying 20
a toast to himself, in which he went
deeply into politics, especially the Russo
German relations. and his own relations
with the chief of the Emperor Alexander
Grenadier Regiment, namely Emperor
Nicholas.

fire department was at great disadvau-
tage. The fire made an immense blaze
and practically wakened up the entire
city. There were no thrilling escapes,
the halls and staircases being numerous
and wide.
Tonight the other hotels and private
residences in the neighborhood of the
jefferson are crowded with the burned out
guests. some of whom are in a great
state of excitement.
The latest theory regarding the origin
of the fire is that il started from electric
wires. Capt. Wise of the fire department
was painfully burned. One of the guests
had his leg broken. He was removed to
the Old Dominion Hospital.

LONDON ON AGUINALD DO.
De Wet Probably the Finer General,

ter, Says Saturday Review.


ter, Says Saturday Review.
London, March 2o.-The Saturday Re-
view will say tomorrow:
THE news OF tine capture of Aguinaldo
may be welcomed as meaning the end
of a war which is still wasting life and
running prosperity in the Philippines; but
for Aguinaldo himself, whose capture was
effected by gross act of treachery. there
must be general sympathy.
He gave the Americans invaluable as
sistance in the capture of Manila and In
the previous maneuvers. He proved a
faithful ally until. partly owing TO
change of policy in Washington and part
ly to want Of tact among the American
generals, war suddenly broke out between
the allies. DeWet Is probably the finer
general. but Aguinaldo is the finer char
acter. Considering his antecedents, Agui-
naldo has proven himself singulariy hui
name. He has displayed. moreover, a
genius for inspiring scattered tribes with
his own enthusiasm for the freedom which
was promised him."

THE VANISHING HANDKERCHIEF.
A Chemical Reaction That Astounded
a Washerwoman.


Harvey Sutherland In Ainslee's.)
1.-THE facetious chemist took an ordinary
cotton handkerchief and soaked It In
nitric and sulphuric acids. Then, after
so long a time, he took it out and rinsed
IL carefully 80 as 10 remove the fres
acid. II looked then alike any other cot
ton handkerchief. 1t went to the washer
woman, who put It through all the wa
tiers that handkerchiefs go through, hung
It out on the line, and took 1t in again
when II was dry. She spread It out on
the ironing board. put the hot iron on II,
snd-it went away. There was a nasn.
a puff of smoke. and then-no handker-
chief. not even the ashes of one. When
you consider how frightened the poor
washerwoman must have been at such
roinRs-on in the broad, open daylight,
how worried she must have been lest the
gentleman should think she had stolen
his handkerchief-for she was an honest
woman l make no doubt whatever, at
least as far as cheap cotton handker-
chiefs were concerned-and, of course. she
thought he wouldn't believe her when
she told him what had become of 1t, you

London, March 29.-The Spectator dis
GUESSING the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, will
say tomorrow:
I'VE cannot help thinking that instead
of contriving q very effective diplomatic
score, Lord Lansdowne would be better
employed in asking himself what were
the essential interests of the United
Kingdom. We believe the British
mercantile circles demand that
the canal should be made.
and that when it is made it should be
held by America, as we hold the Suez
canal, and except for keeping British Hon.
duras, which, of course, we shall keep,
the less we have to do with Central Amer
lea the better. AS long as we keep COM
mand of the sea, and unless we keep It
we shall cease to count as a nation, we
have no need to get into panic over the
Americans fortifying the canal. Sea pow
err will control theN canal and not land

Urged All to BE Calm.
In an instant Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn were at his
side. His waistcoat was hurriedly
opened, the president meanwhile ad-
monishing those about him to remain
calm and telling them not to be
alarmed.
"But you are wounded" cried his
secretary; .'let me examine"
mo, I think not answered the
president. Il am not badly hurt, as

Nevertheless his outer garments
were hastily loosened, and when a
trickling stream of crimson was seen
to wind its way down his breast,
spreading its telltale stain over the
white surface of the linen, their worst
fears were confirmed.
