The beautiful residence an d
grounds of Mr.. James A. Close Oh
Park street are on the market as
will be seen from an advertisement
in this Issue. This property is offer
ed solely because illness in the fami-
~ and advanced age of the owner,

manning years with their children, all
Of whom reside outside the state.
This program could not well be car
ried out We're he to retain possession
of the grounds, which, together with
The residence, go to make what is
universally conceded to be the most
attractive place in Crescent City.
The Close residence and grounds
occupy one full block in the most at
tractive part of Crescent City, is on
high ground and affords a fine view
of Crescent lake. There are fine
lawns and beautiful shrubbery sur
rounding the home and many rare
and beautiful shade trees. About
three-fifths of the ground is set i'll
orange, grape fruit and tangerine
trees, all in fine condition and just
coming into bearing. These trees
will probably bear from 500 to 600
boxes of fruit the coming season.
The house and grounds are well sup
piled with water, the grove and
lawns being underlald with piping
for irrigating purposes from the city
water works. The place constitutes
an ideal winter, or all-the-year round
home, and the onamentation
of the grounds is not alone artistic,
but the growth of sod, shrubbery and
trees are such as would require more
than Il decade of time to duplicate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Close have lived i'll
Crescent City for 16 years, and the
fact that they are obliged for the
reasons above given, to even think OF
removal, will be cause for widespread
regret among our people.

How "Dixie" stirs The Blood.

A writer in the New Orleans Plea
yune gives this spirited description
of how "DiXie" stirs the blood.
When the musicians struck up
"DiXIe, a very shout arose from all:
Hoorayl Hooray!
Away down south in Dixie;
they sang around me, eyes flashing,
hands clapping-a merry, metrical
din.
Ole missus married Bill, de weaber,
William was IA gay deceiber,
hulnned Virgie beside, me; and
Look away! Look away
roared the chorus,
Look away down south in Dixie!
1t was the first time ! ever heard
my national air. 1t fairly carried
me away sang with the rest.
"Do you take your stand In Dixie
land, and live and die herp?" my
partner murmured.
In truth, there is no tune like it to
stir the blood. 1t carries us out into
the sunny, broad streets. Whom it
begins with
Dixie land is the land of cotton,
something is coming at a lively,
quick step; with Il dash and a clang
and cheer, it has arrived! We are
out in the broad, sunny streets, with
the marching crowd, the fife pierccs
us with reckless joy.
Away! Away Away down south in
Dixie!
And we are whirled about among
the excited, cheering people, then
getting our breath at the outskirts

Congress has provided for a COM
mission to secure plans and designs
for monument or memorial to be
erected to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln, which is to be a magnificent
affair, worthy of that great man.
The commission is TO consist of the
chairman of the senate library com
mittee, the chairman of the house
library committee, the secretary of
state, the secretary of war, Senator
Vest and Representative Richardson.
1t is an open question whether Mr..
Bryan's or Mr.. Watterson's arraign-
ment of Mr.. Cleveland's "harmony"
speech was the most severe. Each
Of these gifted editors, without going
beyond the bounds of parliamentary
language, called the sage of Prince
ton everything bad from a party
standpoint, which could possibly
have been thought Of by a dozen
ordinary orators. Mr.. Cleveland's
political ofIenses, they state, have
placed him outside of the bounds Of
any possible claim TO true Democracy.
When Representative Champ Clark
was making a speech in congress the
other day a republican representative
innocently inquired whether he had
read Mr.. Bryan's remarks on Ex-
President Cleveland's "harmony'i
talk at the Tilden Club. Mr.. Clark
replied that he would not answer any
such impertinent questions, which
was followed by loud roars Of repub-
liean laughter, the democrats mean
while appearing as glum as clans.
Senator Quay has obtained unanl-
nous consent that on the 10th Of De-
cember next the omnibus statehood
bill, including Oklahoma, New Mex
leo and Arizona, shall be made the
unfinished business Of the senate and
continued as such until disposed Of.
This means statehood for those terri
tories.

court OF appeals of the ninth dis
trict, aud the subsequent pardoning
by the president, of young Claude
A S Frost, are but matters of yes
terday. The strenuous efforts made
by certain interested parties to Sc
cure the permanent appointment Of
Judge Wickersham to the Nome
federal bench have hardly ceased
and now comes the news that Unit
ed States Mprshal Richards, who
doubtlessly refused, as did young
Frost, to be party to the malevolent
schemes Of the Pacific coast conspir-
atOrs, has been arrested on the
charge of contempt of court, cen
victed Of packing a jury" on the
evidence Of detectives said to be in
league with the ring, aud is now
awaiting the sentence of the court.
1t is hardly necessary to add that
Wickersham is the judge who con-
victed Richards nor to emphasize
the fact that by bringing the charge
of contempt Of court" the Judge
found m sans Of convicting with
ont giving to the marshal the bene-
fit Of IA trial by jury.
Fortunately, however, the men
who have sought to pervert Justice
to their own ends have overreached
themselves, and the president has
grasped the situation and taken
steps to remedy it. Despite the
pressure brought to bear on him to
make Wiokersha nomination
permanent, Mr. Roosevelt has ap-
pointed his successor in the person
of Mr. J. S. Moore Of Pennsylvania,
who is now en- route for Nome.
Judge Moore is a man of uuques-
toned probity and had the indorse-
ment of Attorney General Knox
and of Senator Quay Mr. Roose-
velt has also appointed as United
States attorney for the Nome dis
trict Colonel Gugsby, formerly of
the Rough Riders, aud it is safe to
that the presence of these
two men of unquestioned honor and
unlimited courage win remedy
Of affairs in the Nome dis
trict which has been a blot on the
judicial systom of the nation, and it
is not too much to hope that they
will succeed in disrupting the in
famous ring which has done so
much to make Nome Justice a Carl
cature and a by word.

The weather Last year and Now.

The Weather Last Year and Now.
There was a striking contrast be.
tween the weather last year and this
around the latter part of June and
the first few days in July. Last year
people were sweltering with heat
with the thermometer standing far
up in the nineties while this year
overcoats and heavy wraps were not
uncomfortable. Last year the hot
spell broke all records and caused
hundreds of deaths. As marking
more distinctly the contrast, in June
1902, their was deficiency of 43
degrees while last year their was an
Necess of p. The excessive rains of
the past few days have been general
and very damaging to crops. In
some places in this state crops were
washed out of the ground. 1t may
be of interest to recall that the wealth
er Of 1916 was phenomenal. In May
Of that year the medium temperature
was 81. Cold, frosty weather pre-
vailed, ice frequently formed, corn
was replanted two or three times and
little came to perfection, In June
the medium temperature was 64.
One morning vegetables were
frozen, snow fell from to 10 inches
in Vermont and in central New
York. Fruit was wholly destroyed.
In July the medium temperature
was only 6S. One frosty night was
succeeded by another and July 9th
their was ice as thick as window
glass in this state. The medium
temperature for the whole year was
80. Ice formed every month in the
year and it was the year in which
there was no summer and is known
as eighteen-huuJged-and-freeze-me-
tO-death.
