THINK they HAVE TO.
People of Seville Must Dance for spi-
der Bites.

In Seville. in addition TO the many other
things that bite, and those who have
visited that wonderfully interesting place
known are not few, the townspeople and
those who live in the neighborhood are
suffering from plague of tarantuias.
The Sevillians do not mind the ordinary
biting things. but the big spiders drive
them frantic The Spaniards believe that
the bite of a tarantula produces mad
ness for dancing.
Although has been scientifically proved
that the bite Of the tarantula Is not really
dangerous. and does not Of itself inspire
the bitten with the dancing mania. II is
impossible TO disabuse the ordinary Span
lard Of their ancient superstition. As soon
as the bite begins to work the sufferer
believes that he is compelled TO dance.
and that his dancing impulses can only
b. allayed by the tones OF the "tarantela-
guitarre.
In O1suna. as in other towns. there
IS guild of tsraatula players" who earn
considerable Tess by sending round their
members TO heal the sufferers from The
tarantalua bite. The victim lies in hed
and as soon as his musical physician be-
gins the monotnouous clang OF the tar
entela- guitarre" the patient rolls about ~
he'd wildly until he has worked himself
into fearful sweat. which carries The mild
tarantula poison out of his body and with
the poison his mad desire 20 dance.

could not be obtained at the state
shop during business hours.
After the state has incurred the eX-
pense OF starting its dispensing ma
chine. at an estimated cost of about
three hundred thousand dollars, then
begins the regular expense account,
such as monthly wages of the army
of men required to run the whisky
machine, thousands of bottles, jugs,
demiiChns, corks, labels, ETC., etc.,
too numerous to mention; so it must
he necessary to sell more liquor to
increase the revenue of the state from
this service.
I repeat the question, is it neces-
sary for the good of the people OF
Florida that they should have more
whisky to drink, or is it necessary
that the state should become a dis
penser of intoXicants to raise money
to educate its children?
have passed considerable por-
ton of each year, for three years
past, in the Carolinas; have looked
into the dispensary from all sides
have watched its workings; and ]
have seen more drunkenness in one
day in towns where the liquor was
dispensed by the state, where it was
not legal to sella man only one drink
but where it was legal to sell him 6
quart of whisky at one time-than
ever saw in any Florida town during
the period of one month.
! have stated these facts at the re
quest of inquirers after truth anC
have told them briefly of my per
sonal observations.

A Quiet Fourth Here.

There will be no public celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July in Palatka
tomorrow. Those whose hearts are
set on pyrotechnics should get on the
train and go out to Grandin where
our county political orators will pull
the eagles tail feathers till he
screams for mercy. They are all
patriotic cusses just at this partlcu-
lar time of year, and can be trusted
to ring into their eloquent
perorations something appropriate to
the day.
In the afternoon there will he a
base ball game at the park between
the Palatka and Jasper teams. The
Jasper club is said to be an aggrega-
ton of real ball players, who can, in
case of an emergency, put up a really
spirited game. 1t may not be neces-
sary for the visitors to tax their ener-
gies here, but if our club should real
" make an effort to play ball, it is
lust possible that those who go out
to the park will get their moneys
worth. We are not saying much
about the Palatka team just at pre-
sent. Its recent experience at

DIspensary or no Dispensary.

Is it essential for the good of the
people of Florida that they should
have more whisky to drink in pub
lie or in private? Is it advisable
that more of it should be sold in this
state? Is it desirable that when a
man wants only one drink that he
should have to buy bottle full TO
get a drink ? If your answer to these
questions be in the affirmative, then
let us have dispensary.
The advocates of the so-called dis
pensary law in our state claim that
by making the state the dispenser of
intoxicants we will have less drunk
enness, and more money brought in
to the state treasury. The latter
must imply that there will be more
whisky sold; for if the state estab-
fishes its whisky shops, ''dispensar-
ies"-is not the proper name (see
Webster)- lit must first incur the eX-
nense of buying or renting the build
ings in which the business is to be
carried on; it must hire lot of men
10 run the shops, and the latter's sal
aries and their perquisites are mater
tally increased by their sales to the
tblind tiger" men, who open their
dens at night, dispensing whisky by
the drink, from whisky which has
been bought at the state dispensar-
les during the dav. Atthese modern
institutions they dispense liquors by
the drink all night long, free of state
tax, dispense luXuries, etc., which

Miss Elizabeth Close, who had a
large class in piano instruction here
two years ago. but who since that
time has been engaged as teacher
in the New York College of Music,
returned to the home of her parents
in Crescent City last week. On
Monday Miss Close came to Pala5ka,
spending that ana the following day
with friends, from whom we learn
that she is considering the advisa-
bility Of again taking up the work
of teaching here.
Miss Close was a very popular
teacher here, and as efficient as pop
ular, and her return would give
pleasure in social circles. She took
an advanced place in musical circles
in New York and for time, in adj
dition to her work at the college,
was accompanies for Mrs. Eames.
She wants to live in Florida because
it is home, and this strong desire
may lead her to again take up the
work of piano instruction in Palatka.

Crescent City, July 2, 1902.
Prospects are Bright.

Hon. ]. n. Whitner of Sanford,
was in the city yesterday in the in
terests of hls candidacy for railroad
commissioner. Mr.. Whitner was for
many years one of the heaviest ship
pers in the state, and even now, as
president of the Sanford Celery
Growers Association, and large
grower himself, has an intimate
knowledge of the needs of the peo-
ple in their dealings with railroads.
Mr.. Whitnnr was member of the
state legislature of 1899, and is we'll
acquainted and generally h0nored in
all parts of the state He has been
making Il vigorous personal canvass
and is we'll pleased with his pros
poets. Said he: 81 am going to be
elected. That is my opinion now.
But my wife says she don't care
whether | am or not. She says that
if she can keep the letters that !
have received from the leading and
honorable citizens in all parts of the
state endorsing my candidacy, she
don't care much whether | am elect
ed or not"
Mr.. Whitner would make a most
capable officer, and from what the
News can learn he is going to get a
big vote in Palatka and Putnam Co.

Father O'Brien Off For Ireland.

Rv. FIR. John O'Brien, pastor of
st. Monica's Catholic church, left
Yesterday morning in company with
Father Maher of the Cathedral, st.
Augustine, for II three months visit
to ireland. During Father o Brien's
absence Bishop Kenny will appoint
n priest of the diocese to take tempo
rary charge of this parish, and SER
vices will probably be held as usual.
Father O'Brien is entitled to his
vacation, and not alone the members
of his congregation, but the people
of. Palatka of all creedS will wish
him God speed Oh his journey and a
delightful outing amid the scenes of
his boyhood days in the land of the
Shamrock. Father O'Brien came to
this country from Ireland 10 years
ago and his first pastoral assignment
was at st. Monica's, P la t k a.
Here he has been constantly during
all that time, and this is his first real
vacation. Under his wise business
and spiritual direction the parish has
thrived. 1t was under his leader
ship that the present beautiful st.
MOnica's church house was erected,
u building that would be credit to
many a larger city. He is one Of the
most popular priests in the state,
and in this, his home city, he enjoys
the warm friendship of al! our peo-
pie without regard to creed.
During his absence he expects to
remain quietly at the home of his
parents near Kilmallock, county
Limerick, until October list, when he
will sail for New York and home.
