FLORIDA.

Jacksonville Times Union and Citi-
zen: George r. Macfarlane, deputy
collector of customs at Tampa, who
was shot by H. Bomford in that city
Friday afternoon while the two men
were engaged in an alteration over
business matters, is more seriously
wounded than was at first thought by
his physicians. The bullet entered the
abdomen on the right side and passed
through the lower portion of the lung,
lodging somewhere near the spine. The
doctors have decided not to make any
attempt to extract the bullet, unless
the condition of the patient should
grow worse, and render such an OPP
GRAFTON necessary. He rested quietly
Friday night and yesterday, but about
nightfall became somewhat restless.
The doctors are constantly apprehen-
sive lest he should have a hem
morrhage, which would probably re-
suit seriously. The wounded man
passed a fairly good night last night,
although he was slightly feverish and
was splitting some blood. However, if
his condition does not grow worse dur
ing to-day and tonight the doctors
state that they think the danger will
be passed.

Tampa Herald: Persistent rumor
has it that the glorious reign of "puri-
ty." which is rumored to have been in
effect since the recent municipal cleo
ton is or will shortly be. a thing of
the past in so far as gambling is con-
cerned, and the edict that is said to
have gone forth to the knights of the
green cloth is, "All is well. but keep
off Franklin street" Whether such an
edict has really gone forth is not pos
itively known, but Madame Rumor
persists in saying So and the Madame
doesn't always lie. A certain sport who
recently folded his tent and slipped
away to Savannah IN search Of lambs
for the sacrifice" received a telegram
announcing that "all was Well" and
that he might return TO his former
haunts," provided they were not on
Franklin street.

GRAPE FRUIT FARM OF $4,000
TREES.

DeSoto County News The Atwood
Company have a solid body of $4,000
grape fruit trees just coming into bear
in, just east of Palmetto, Fla. This
property was originally a body of
heavy oak and palmetto hammock in
terspersed with ponds. Not until this
year has it been possible to bring it to
a properly tillable condition. An ex-
tensive drainage system has been COM
pleted at immense expense. A small
portion of the trees which are bearing
will yield not less than 1000 boxes this
year. Eight to ten thousand trees will
be bearing next season, and con-
sentative estimate for three years from
now reaches the astonishing figure of
%, 900 boxes.

STING OF THE BUMBLE BEE.

Athens Banner: 1t is understood
that the sting of the University Bum
ble-bee, issued on June 16, containing
would-be humorous filings at a num-
Der of the members of the faculty of
the University of Georgia, fingers with
three members of the faculty. A ru-
NOR has been current on the streets of
athens for several days to the effect
that three members of the faculty had
instituted a vigorous search for the
publisher of the unique paper, and
had finally satisfied themselves that
the publisher had been located within
a short distance of Athens. 1t has
also been rumored that suit would be
instituted against this publisher. as
we'll as the authors of some of the ar
ticIes, in the event the identity of such
authors could be brought out. 1t was
learned only yesterday that counsel
had been actually conferred with, and
probably retained by members of the
faculty. The matter may be settled
outside of the courts, as it is said there
is considerable opposition to making
a court affair of it, on the part of
probably some of the trustees of the
university.
ESCAPED PRISONERS AT LARGE.
Albany Herald: Neither of the five
negro prisoners who escaped from
Dougherty county Jail Thursday night
has yet been captured but the county
officers are quite confident that they
will eventually succeed in running the
fugitives to earth John Henry Will
burn, the ringleader of the gang, and
Will Robinson are believed to have
passed through Terrell county yester-
day. Two negroes, one tall and yell
low, and the other small and black,
yesterday afternoon robbed several ne
gro cabins near Dawson, but were de-
tected and pursued. Sheriff Edwards
has advices from Terrell county that
there is every reason to believe the
two negroes will be captured, and
there is little doubt that they will
prove to be Wilburn and Robinson.
The other three escapes have also
been heard from. One of them, John
Watson, has but one arm, and it should
not prove very difficult matter to
catch him.

CUBA'S COOE REQUEST
LAST LINK OF AMERICANISM
REMOVED.
President Will Not Rest Under Any
Obligations To Cuba That Are Not
Mutual

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The Presi-
dent recently gave orders to the Sec
rotary of the Navy to bring away 1000
tons of coal which Admiral Bradford
has had stored at Triscornia, a suburb
of Havana, and to turn over to the Gu
ban authorities the warehouses, docks
and other property of the United
States at that place. This includes a
railway three miles long. This railway
and the docks We're built by the United
States Navy. The warehouses were
leased from private owners and the
Cubans have no claim upon the prop
erty whatever.
One of the first things their Govern
ment did, however, was to call for the
REIMBURSEMENT of this property, and as
it was the last link connecting the
Army and Navy of the United States
with Cuba, no official notice was taken
of their demand while Congress was
in session, but when adjournment was
taken without passing the reciprocity
treaty, the President took the ground
that we were no longer justified in
asking or accepting favors from Cuba
and ordered the property vacated. This
is being done with reluctance by the
naval authorities, not only because Of
it's significance as the surrender of the
only fOOthold we have on Cuban soil,
but because it is not uncommon for
one nation to lease coal docks upon the
territory of another, and they think
the Cubans are rather cheeky in order
ing the United States to get out.
The President thinks differently. He
Is not willing to rest under any obliga-
lions whatever to Cuba as long as
Congress refused to pass a reciprocity
measure, nor will he allow. any steps
to be taken toward the establishment
of naval stations.

EAT HERBS.

Popular interest in the never-ending
controversy between the vegetarians
and the meat eaters is increased bv the
growing tendency of mankind to con-
Germ itself more seriously about the
laws of health and the principles of hy-
giene. The people are not only paying
more attention to the questions of sani-
taton and disease prevention, but there
is manifest a growing disposition to ex-
plore the field of dietetics. Rational
adaptation of diet to the physical and
mental needs of the individual Is be-
coming more common and is fast dis
placing the family medicine chest
There seems to be general agreement
among the dietary experts on the pro-
position that our errors in diet are COM
monty on the side of excessive meat
eating. Chicago Record Herald.

SPORT AT KALAUPAPA.

Baseball is being appreciated by
players and rooters alike at the Leper
Settlement. A series of thirteen games
between the rival mines of Kalaupapa
and Kalawao has just been completed,
the Kalawao winning the series and a
prize of $40, The last game was an ex-
citing one, the score being tied in the
ninth. The Kalaupapas left the field
against the umpire's decision and for
feited the game. A new series with
three teams is now being arranged. The
Baldwin Home has been supplied with
two ping-pong sets by Superintendent
McNeigh and it is thought the other
inmates of the Settlement will take up
the game and manufacture sets for
their own diversion.
