A Fine House Boat.

The house boat which Mr.. w. l..
Mellon, the wealthy Pittsburg man
who has his winter residence in this
city, is having built by the Merrill
Stevens Engineering Co. of Jackson
vile, was launched in that city last
week. and the finishing touches are
now being put on. The boat will be
ready for Mr.. Mellon by the time of
his arrival late in the fall.
The boat will be christened "Vaga-
bondia." She is 80 feet over all, %
feet beam and six feet deep. She
will be propelled by a stern paddle
wheel, and besides the motive power,
there will be an electric dynamo to
furnish lights throughout the place.
Besides the main deck, there is the
saloon deck, which will naturally be
the most attractive, and here the
owner will have five pleasant rooms.
The finishing is in white enamel and
gold.
An ample promenade is provided,
and in fine weather this win afford
splendid opportunity for enjoying
the air and the scenery. Every
modern convenience will be provid-
ed. The boat will be equipped with
an electric searchlight, and in all re-
5pects the vessel will be credit to
the builders.

Gift to the Public Library.

DR.. w. H. Cyrus has Just present.
ed to the public library two large
morocco bound volumes entitled
Memoirs of Florida" The works
were gotten out under the supervis-
ing editorship of EX-Gov. Francis P.
Fleming, and constitute complete
history of the state from its founda-
ton as a colonial possession up to the
present time. The work is one of
the kind sold only on subscription,
and in many of its parts is ii work of
value.
Primarily it was gotten out on the
strength of its appeal TO the vanity
of men'in all parts of the state who
dote on seeing themselves written
up. Part of each column is given
up to these biographies, and no man,
no matter what his achievements,
need look for personal reference I'M
less he has yielded up his quota of
coin. Those who had the largest
supply of vanity made an extra con-
tributtOn of coin aid secured ste
engraved portraits Of themselves in
The book and these will preserve
them as heirlOoms and for ready
self-reference on wet days.
They are expensive books, and his
torically and as books of reference
will have peculiar value for the Ii
brary, and the association is under
great obligations to the donor.

Policeman Sanford on Tuesday
morning took into custody a strange
white youth whom he found asleep
in a box car, and carried him before
Judge Haskell on a charge of vag-
rancy. Inquiry on the part of the
JUDGE developed the fact that the

since which time his parents have
known nothing of his whereabouts.

Palatka-Welaka Ball Game.

The game of ball between the Pa
atka club and the team from Wela-
IA sterday was not brilliant,
though there were some excellent
plays on each side. The runs We're
mostly the result of errors.
Wattles for the home team struck
out good many and the visitors
had hard work to find him at all.
Allen, while a fine pitcher, had
the misfortune to be hit heavily in
one inning. The line up of the teams
was as follows.
Welaka-Greenwood, 3D.; Perry,
list; Holton, I'd; Allen, pitcher; Hur-
ner, IS; Platt, If; Floyd, catcher; A.
Green, eff; f. Green, rf.
PaIatka-Marvick, catcher; Wat
les, pitcher; Bassett, LIST; Wineger,
I'd; Burt, 3D.; Collins, S.; Rankin,
If; Meyers, CT; Tingley, rf;
The game resulted in score of II
to in favor of Palatka. The SYM
pathy of the grand stand was about
evenly divided between the clubs.
The attendance was not large,

The Band Excursion.

The unsettled condition of the
weather last Thursday night tended
10 keep many people indoors and the
excursion to Federal Point, given by
the band, was not so well attended.
The steamer Crescent left Adams
wharf at o'clock, and the run to
Federal Point was made in about an
hour and fifteen minutes. Here the
party disembarked and repaired to
he dancing hall where they were
joined by quite number of citizens
of the place, and where the light fan
tastic was tipped until l0:45. The
band music was fine and a good time
was had by all present. The wealth
ar cleared up wonderfully and the
h0meward trip was a most delightful
one. The steamer arrived here short
ly after midnight. Financially the
excursion was u failure, the receipts
falling short few cents of making
expenses, but socially it was u decid-
ed success. 1t is the purpose of the
band to give another excursion in
the near future, when it is hoped
waater condition will be more favor
able for a pleasant outing

A Good Man for the Place.

During the past week or more the
Jacksonville Times Union and Citi-
zen has been publishing almost daily
news letters from Palatka. many of
them long and constituting a COM
plete summary of the local doings of
The previous day. The reason for
this lies in the fact that the new Pa
latka correspondent is Mr.. w Edw.
Wattles, Il trained newspaper man
and man who has a ''nose for the
hews;'' who, when there is a
scarcity of the real article is enabled
to fall back on vivid imagination
in order to supply the deficiency.
The city is to be congratulated. Mr.
Haughton, the former correspond
ent, was always II very busy man
whose close confinement to his in
door business precluded the POSSIBLE
ity of his getting out among the peO-
pie, and whose time was so thorough
ly taken up that he found it impossi-
BILE to give attention to the CORE
spondence. Mr.. Wattles will put
some considerable ginger into his
letters and Palatka will be the
painer

matters worse was | myself had a luncheon
on hand-we were in fact just sitting down
to the table when the royal message
reached me. ! dare say turned all colors
as l read, but luckily nobody noticed. In
stantly | sent word to my maid to get
other clothes ready, then went on enter
tanning my guests as best | might through
the first courses. | knew to a fraction OF a
second how long it would take to dress
and drive from my own home to Bucking-
ham palace. | knew also that while the
queen herself is never very punctual it
would not do at all for me to be late and
still less to be early. You can fancy my
state of mind, lunching against the clock
both ways. Presently | left my sister to
explain my going and was soon rolling off
to see the queen.
"Of course l thought of many things on
the way, but chiefly of the hospital. Il
must be that which had caused the queen
to send for me. Then foolishly | let my
mind stray to a schoolmate, one Mary a.,
who it happens had been a girl friend of
the queen in the days when King Christian
was not a king at all, only a poor Danish
prince and glad to increase his income of
81, 200 a year by giving lessons in drawing
to pupils of a girls school. Mary had told
me many stories of her friend Alexandra

at Freidensborg the two nearly always met.

band to Mary, who had for years been a
widow and thought to be inconsolable. But
my mind did not linger on her very long
my conCeTns-our concerns, indeed, were
so much more immediate and living. I had
a fair general idea of how such private
audiences went off, but was hazy as TO
whether | should kneel or merely curtsy
and kiss hands.
THE palace authorities coached me the
least bit. A lady-in-waiting met me, took
me upstairs and along passages and at
last left me to myself after telling me that
the queen, though quite deaf, hated Of all
things to have voices raised in speaking to
her. | must speak rather slowly and very
distinctly-her own quick intelligence
would do the rest. AS to department, !
must follow her ndications-stand or sit, or
retire, at what | judged to be her will.
But she would make it easy for me-this
| was assured-she made everything easy
as far as court etiquette permitted.
Before | had time to get nervous a
lackey whisked me into the presence. There
stood the queen, looking very sweet and
u~nroyal, smiling, holding out her hand and
murmuring my name. After our formal
informal greeting she led me to a chair a
little at one side and sat down herself In
another almost touching it. And then she
said with a yet more engaging smile:
