THE SILVER LINING.

The year 1902 will see a great deal Of
our so-called depression pass away, and
the sun of prosperity viii begin to
warm the timid hearts which have
thought that the bottom has dropped
out of the commercial tub. With the
natural advantages which the Islands
possess, with their great future pros
poets, it has always seemed absurd to
the onlooker to view the gloomy fore
bodings Of many of our people. We
have passed through many and far
more serious crises, and have then

That the lepers will themselves OBJ
ject to Delegate WilcOxs plans, goes
without saying. At present, save for
some minor complaints, natural to peo-
pie in their position, they are happy.
Introduce the class which Delegate
Wilcox proposes in his bill and their
happiness will be gone. Hawaii has had
many reasons already for wishing that
Wilcox had never been born, for he has
ever led the Hawaiian astray, but
Hawaii's sick wards win have ten
times the reason to curse him, for his
action may prove a veritable curse to
them

The polo match today will attract
many spectators. 1t is a pity that the
weather prevented the match coming
off on Christmas Day. Polo has come
to us to stay. 1t is the. most fascinating
of games to watch, The far East has
watched it for a thousand years and
has never tired of it. The West has
annexed it only some three or four de-
cades, but it has taken hold and will
be the most popular of pastimes.

cur, it is the proper thing to at once
communicate with the police and have
investigation made. one man may es-

man loses nothing there is no reason
why he should not protect or try to
protect another who might lose much.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE market to-
day was more active than in long
time. Total sales exceeded 1000, 900
shares In the early part of the day
liquidation was in evidence, and the
pressure caused declines averaging 3
per cent. There was no particular
news to explain the violent recession,
and none of the unfavorable rumors
which obtained currency, as they all
ways do in a declining market, was
confirmed in business hours. 1t was
said a large loan had been called on a
prominent house and payment insisted
upon. Unusual sales of National City
Bank stock were made at 290. and were
alleged to be on account of the con-
Germ referred to. In the afternoon II
was reported that the liquidation in
this quarter had been completed, and
the result was sharp rally In many
directions of 1@2 per cent. The course
OF specultion Is best described by refer
ence 10 the closing net declines. Rock

WILL GIVE NO TURKEYS.

A time-honored custom in Augusta
is to be discontinued this year. 1t has
been customary for grocers to present
each of their regular patrons a dressed
turkey at Christmas time. and every
Christmas thousands of these tooth
some fowls were so distributed. The
grocers have come to regard this Gus
tom a hardship, as under the sharp
competition of the times, profits are not
as large as they were when the Gus
tom originated. The Retail Grocers'
Association has decided at once TO
break off this custom. and formal no
tice of this decision has been publish
ed. This will cause many families to
go without the Christmas turkey, which
they had counted on receiving as a
matter of course

fair trade in wheat to-day, and with
the exception of one temporary declin-
ing movement the market ruled higher

tried to buy in their wheat, there was
quick advance. and as the day wore
on there was additional buying on re-
ports of good exports, and the mar
ket closed strong. Some OF the buy
ing was said to be for Armour. Gem

was the steady buying by Patten.

SIXTY DAYS IN JAIL

William c. O'Neal, president of the
American National Bank of Pensacola,
has been sentenced to sixty days in
the Escambia county jail by Judge
Charles Swayne of the United States
District Court. The charge upon which
the banker was so sentenced was an
attack upon Adolph Greenhut of Pen
sacola, a wealthy wholesale merchant,
on Oct. 20, when Greenhut was severe
ly stabbed by ONeal. Greenhut at the
time was trustee of a bankruptcy
claim, and IT was held that ONeaPs
attack upon Greenhut was an act of
contempt in that the injuries inflicted
kept Greenhut from performing his du-
ties as trustee, a position given him
by the United States court. The case
is regarded as a precedent. The Amer
lean National Bank is capitalized at
100000, and is the richest in Florida.

CONVICT POOR EARN.

The phosphate and turpentine men of
the state who employ convict labor
have now decided to try the expert
ment of a convict poor farm. All con-
victs too freeble or too old to work
Will be placed on the farm, which is
TO be conducted on the same order as

that this farm will be more than self
sustaining. w. A. Pelot of Ocala has
been employed as manager, and he has
selected Marion county as the place
for the location of the farm. Mr. Pc
lot has purchased 800 acres two miles
east of Ocala, is having the land clear
ed and plowed, and is building the nee
essary houses. The farm will be ready
Tor its inmates the first of January.

FROM WATER FRONT
MR.. JOHN ROURKE WANTS TO
BUILD A DRY DOCK.
WANTS ISLAND LAND OF CITY.
PETITION WENT IN SOME TIME AGO
TO COUNCIL.

Shipping Men Interested in the Out
come Of the PetitiOn-A Dock, MIR.
RourI1e Says, VIII Mean Employ
ment for Many Men-The Bark Nell
lie Troop.
Mr.. John Rourke is anxious to know
what action the City Council intends
to take on his recent petition for a
strip of land on Hutchinson's Island
large enough for a dry dock. The Pc
tition went before the Council some
time ago, and the fact the proposed
dock is of interest to marine people
has attracted their attention to know
what the city will do towards encour-
aging the proposed enterprise.
In planning his various undertake
ings Mr.. Rourke has not made any
flaws in their details, and in their sue
cessful execution. His marine railway
has proven a great success, and is now
bringing craft to the port for repairs
which never came this way before. A
tug is now on the railway from
Charleston, and the entire fleet from
there is expected TO come here, as the
need for repairs arises. The railway
seems to be what was wanted from the
number of outside vessels that have
visited the port for the first time. And
each of them has called for the en-
ployment of more men TO make the
desired repairs, and the expenditure
of considerable sums of money.
What l am anxious to know is just
where I stand" said Mr.. Rourke, dis
GUESSING his pending petition with the
city. Until l see what the city will
do 1 cannot proceed to work out any
other details. What l propose to do is
to meet a great need in this port for
a dry dock of sufficient size to accom-
modate such craft as visits the port,
or would likely come here for repairs.
There is no estimating what such an
enterprise will bes worth to the city,
for it will mean the employment OF
large numbers of men, a majority of
whom command good wages. The pc
tition involves improvements which are
pretty sure to commend it to the earn
est consideration of the city when the
matter is called up for their considera-
ton"
