ITO ULDN'T STAT DOWN.

Jacksonville, Florida has shown the same spirit that has animated other United States cities which have been devastated. A census of Jacksonville ordered by the city council, has just been completed. The new census gives the city a population of 33,6S7 and of these 14,370 are white and 19317 eolored. This is an increase of 5,15S compared with the government census of 1900. When it is remembered that Jackson vile was visited by a great fire only a little over one year ago, which caused many people to leave the city for want of houses to live in, this increase of population is remarkable. Since the fire over two thousand houses of various kinds have been erected, and the work of construction is still being vigorously pushed.
 More power and more growth to the lively new city. It is a good illustra- tion of the grit and enterprise of the people of this country.

GERMAN TEMPERA NCE MoVEM EN7

GERMAN TEMPERA 4 NCE MOVEMENT
 Emperor William is working hard to
 make his country just what it ought to | be. He has now become a temperance reformer. Before the Prussian Diet ad- I journed for the Whitsuntide recess 1 Count Douglas introduced a resolution which is supposed to embody the em- peror's views on this subject It invites | the government to prohibit the sale of spirits containing fusel oil or other in- furious elements; to prohibit the sale of spirits in summer before a. m., in state of intoxicaton, or to persons under sixteen years of age, or to per- sons who are designated by the police as habitual drunkards. The bill fur ther requests the government to adopt
 measures for enlightening the public re-
 garding the injurious effects which the
 abuse of alcohol produces upon the pub-
 lie health and in the increase of crimi-
 nal offences. It also recommends the
 further establishment of asylums for
 habitual drunkards Count Douglas
 and other advocates of the bill pointed
 out that 70 per cent. of the crimes com
 mitted in Germany are attributed to the
 effects of intemperance, and many pro-
 tests were uttered against the drinking
 habits of the educated classes, and par ticularly against the lax views with re- gard to excessive drinking which pre-

Reports of recent target practice of the vessels of Admiral Higginson's fleet show the gunners of the battleship Kearsarge to be remarkably efficient. The enormous thirteen-inch guns of the ship were fired and reloaded within the space of one minute, and each time hit the target, which was more than a mile away, the vessel at the time moving at the speed of eight knots. When the in tricacies of the gunmounts, with their fine sighting and nice handling of the complicated screws and levers, are con- sidered, this exhibition of gunnery on war vessel is simply wonderful. The shooting of the rest of the fleet was ex- cellent, but that of the Kearsarge sur passed them all Old time naval men proudly compare the gunnery of the Kearsarge with that of her celebrated namesake, for the craftsmanship of that famous ship alone won for her the victory over the Alabama, manned as she was with trained experts from the British Navy many of whom were con- sidered crack shots on board the Eng fish training ship Excellent, from which they had been drafted.
