OLDEST HOUSE
St Augustine OffersI Peep Into
O6e Middle Ages-Some Won
derful Relics

St. Augustine, Fla, Specialist. Au-
guStine contains many places of interest
and much can be learned by visiting
some of the ancient houses which were
constructed during the last century, and
in which much is stored which relates to
long ago. The oldest house in America
situated on St Francis street, and Op-
posite the old Spanish barracks, is kept
in excellent repair and is continually
filled with visitors, who take great in
tereSt in looking over the things used
by the Monks of St. Francis" who oc-
cupied this old edihce from 1906 to 1890; !;
the old chapel in which they wOrshiped
still stands, and all view it in wonder.
In 1890 this property came in posses
session of a deputy of the Spanish gov
ernment, and remained possession of
his descendants until 1882, in which year
it was sold.
The building which is now used as
the post Office, was at one time the resi-
dence of { Spanish governor, and pre-
sents quite an old appearance at this
time. Directly in front of the post Office
is the "Plaza"-which contains two very
old monuments, one being Confederate,
and erected on the spot which was at
one time used as a slave-market, and
the other Spanish, and erected in COM
memOratiOn of the Spanish Constitution
of 1872, and supposed to be the only
one III existence at this time.
On the outskirts of the city are orange
and magnolia groves, the Ponce de Leon
Springs, vineyards, and excellent roads
for driving and wheel riding.
During the past two weeks we have
had some very cool weather, and great
many OvercOats have been worn, but it
us quite pleasant at this time
Mr.. Howard Diggs, promising young
man, has been selected as head-waiter
at the Hotel Buckingham and is filling
the position manfully. He was born in
Richmond Va, in 1872, and when quite
young, started for the West, where he
remained for number of years. He has
had great deal of experience in hotel
work, and will most likely make quite a
reputation at his present post of duty.
HIS parents are well known in Rich
mond, socially, and all wish him pros

would be especially noteworthy but
the growth is quite striking as it Is, and
reflects in a marked way the tendency
of trust methods TO draw new capital
into the field for the policy of the rub
Der trust. as of other trusts, has been
TO acquire old establishments and not
build new ones.
1T is apparent from the figures given
that the attempt to establish compre-
hensive monopoly combination of the
industry has actually resulted in rather
remarkable decentraiizing manifesto
tions. Prior to the appearance Of the
United States rubber trust or between
1880 and 1890, the number of establish
ments increased by only two, while the
output was nearly doubled in value
The average product per establishment
in 1880 was a little over 81 900, 600; IN
1890 it had risen to 81, 100, 600, and IN
1900 only little less than Sl,9OO,Ooo
The tendency of the business to cen
tralize in few plants, which was SO
marked before the trust appeared, came
near to being arrested altogether after
its appearance.
This must be attributed, rs the pre-
ii lent of the trust would have to ad-
NIT, to the extortionate methods OF the
trust and its effort to collect from the
public dividends on highly inflated
capital Little conclusive evidence Is
afforded by the census figures whether
or not the result has been more acute
condition Of overnvestment and over
production than existed at the time of
organizing the combination, and which
WAS "A cause of it; but the presumption
most decidedly is that such is the case
The increase of capital invested
not nOminal-between 1880 and 1870
was 45 per cent, and between 1890 and
1900 it was over 80 per cent. The IN
crease in product in the earlier decade
WAS 90 per cent and in the later, or the
trust, period it was 800 per cent. And
il il TO be remembered that the starting
of new concerns in competition with
the trust was by no means ended when
the census of 1900 WAS taken. The pre-
sent situation is unquestlonably much
worse for the industry in the way OF
excessive investments and production

We could 90 through the entire re-

are enough to prove that the charges
against the college were conceived in
envy, born in hatred and matured in
malice.
For the continued honor of the men
from ManitOwoc who are associated
with the institution this is written. As

say in the final decision:
The Milwaukee Medical College is a
living institution in which Milwaukee

right to be proud.
