An American Fable.

Once upon time Young and Frisky
Mule wandered away from its Mothers
aide towards Hive of Bees, which the
Farmer kept in order to procure Bees
wax for the children to chew on. OBJ
serving his Tendency to Investigate,
the Mother observed;
"Boyl You keep away from that Lo-
calityl Bees and Mules never have and
never will agree"
The Youngster pretended to Submit,
but at a Favorable Opportunity he can
tered up for close Investigation. He
got an ear full in about half Minute,
and had not the Farmer and his son
turned out to his Aid he would have
been Stung to death. AS it was he
was BADLY used up by the Sharp and
Remorseless stings, and he was stand
ing ON Three Legs with his eyes closed
when his Mother drew near and
queried:
Ibid not warn you against the
Bees?"
"You did"
''Then why didn't you Heed my
Words2 told you that the Bees and
Mules did not Agree"
$50 you did, but went over to the
Hive to ask them why it wasl"

RESTORE A FEUDAL CASTLE.
Emperor william and Many Mobiles
Take Part in the Ceremony of
Completion

In the presence of Emperor Will
liam and the empress, many diplo-
mats, members of the royalty and
German notables, the work of re-
storing the ancient castle of Marien-
burg WAS officially completed the
other day. The castle in the middle
ages was the seat of thu grand mas
tiers of the Teutonic order.
The ceremonies we're rendered re
markedly brilliant bv the revival of
ancient costumes of the order of the
Knights of St. John. His majesty
stood at the gateway of the castle
while the Knights of st. John and
other Populations filed through, with
the church bells ringing and the choir
raising a song of thanksgiving.
The emperor afterwards proceeded
to the chapter hall, where he held a
brief reception. The conservation Of
the building, by the chaplain, fol-
lowed. Later there was banquet at
which the emperor and the royal
personages were present.

Successful Beyond Expectation

"Where did all these people come
from ?' was the question asked by
many who attended the concert, ice
cream social and dance given by the
ladies of the V. 1. A. at their hall
last Friday night. 1t was question
that might well be asked, for the at
tendance was said to be larger than
at any previous entertainment given
this year, consequently sets at naught
the proposition that the place is de-
serted and dead in summer.
And the character of the crowd?
1t was as pretty as picture. Cres-
cent City ladies are noted for their
good looks. They are also good
dressers at any season of the year,
but in the summer, when CARRIED in
white and delicately tinted light
dress materials, they constitute a
picture of feminine loneliness hard
to duplicate. The men We're all
right, too, but men never count
much at beauty show. They 'aint
built that way.
There was over 100 present. The
concert feature was short, but what
it lacked in numbers it made up in
merit, and each performer was given
hearty encores. The following is the
program:
|. Song-The Rosary, Nevin-Miss
Close.
2. Piano Solo-Impromptu, Schu-
bert-Mr. Carrier.
3. Song-Happy Birds, Holst-Miss
Crawford.
4. Piano SolO-Polish Dance, Schar-
weuka-M Miss Close.
5. Song-The Maid and the Rose.
DeKoven-Miss Crawford.
6. Duet--StOries of Nacomis, Nollen-
haupt-Miss Close, Miss Alice
Hutchinson.
At the close of the concert ice
cream was served, after which the
audience retired to the spacious YER
andahs and witnessed the destruc-
ton of So worth of beautiful fire
works by Mr.. e. d. Lounds, assisted
by Marshal Lastinger The fire
works were those intended for the
guild entertainment of July Fourth,
but which arrived too late for that
occasion. The V. L. A. took the stock
off the guild ladies hands, and made
good use of them.
After the fireworks there was
dancing till a late hour.
The hall was beautifully illuminat-
ed with electric lights, furnished by
the G. II. Preston Co.

DOES AWAY WITH DYNAMoS.
mospheric Electricity without
Chemicals OF DynamOA.

The Las Palmas correspondent of the
London Daily Mail sends remarkable
account of great scientific discovery.
According to the correspondent, the
discovery is a method of directly using
atmospheric electricity without chem
icals or dynamos, and practically APP
plying it without any motive force.
The discoverer is Clemente Fuegueras,
engineer of woods and forests for the
Canary islands, and for many years
professor of physics at st. Augustin's
college, Las Palmas, and long known
as a scientific student.
Hitherto he has jealousy guarded
the secret of his labors, fearing that
a premature revelation might rob him
of his reward. Even now, while he
claims to have entirely succeeded, he
remains silent concerning the exact
principles of his discovery.
He claims, however, to have invented
a generator which can collect the cleo
trio fluid, to be able to store it, and
to apply it to an infinite number of
purposes; for instance, in connection
with ships, railways and manufac-
tories, He says he expects the eff
feet of his discovery will be tremen-
dous economic and industrial revolu-
ton. He will not give the key to his
invention, but declares that the only
extraordinary point about it is that
it has taken so long to discover a sim
pie scientific fact.
Prof. Figueras is shortly going to
Madrid and Berlin to patent his in
vention. A German electrical company
Is reported to have offered large sum
for the invention. while syndicate in
Barcelona has also made a generous
offer. Neither advance has been ac-
cepted. This, the correspondent adds.
is all that it is possible to obtain at
present. No opinion can be expressed
as TO the value of the discovery until
further details are known.
The London Mail adds that II has
learned from other sources that Prof.
Fugueras has constructed rough
apparatus, by which he obtains cur
rent of $50 volts. which he utilities in
lighting his house and driving 20
horse power motor. He is shortly com
ing TO London with perfected work
ing apparatus. His inventions COM
prise generator. motor, and sort Of
governor or regulator. This whole
apparatus is so simple that q child
could work it.

A New Enterprise.

In these languid days of summer,
when even in so poor country as
this men and women find the where
withal to indulge in the fad for
going away, it is refreshing to know
that some people at least are striv-
ing to better their condition and that
of the community by scheming to
inaugurate a new enterprise. For it
is fact that anything which helps
to advertise Crescent City, employs
help, or consumes home products,
tends to the upbuilding of the COM
munity whether successful or not.
The projectors receive their benefit
last, and only then when their efforts
have been crowned with success.
These remarks are preliminary to
the announcement of the G. H. Pres
ton company, which company has
decided to engage in the manufac-
ture of cypress tanks in this city.
The company is now clearing the lot
directly in rear of its store lot for the
erection of a factory which. Will
cover over 5000 square feet. The or
der for lumber has been placed, and
the work of building will begin next
week. The order has also been
placed for the necessary machinery,
all of which is to be of the finest and
best patterns used in building tanks.
The company is going after fine bust
ness, and it is its purpose to excel
in the quality of its output.
Mr.. Preston has continued to grow
steadily during the past eight years
of hard times, made such by the
freezing of the fruit trees, and hav-
ing made thorough investigation
of this cypress tank business, hi S
decided to grow still more by reach
ing out into the whole county with a
product that can be made in Cres-
cent City as well and as cheaply as
at any point in the wide world.
The News bespeaks great success
for the new enterprise.

SOUTHERN R'Y CHANGES.
III. f. Cary Made Division Pas
senger Agent.

II. F. Cary, the popular and eff
Gent Florida passenger agent of the
Southern Railway, with headquart-
ers at Jacksonville, who has had
clarke of Southern Railway matters
in the passenger department in this
section for some time, has been pro-
NOTED and will be division passenger
agent. This promotion was effec-
tive Friday, August |, and while it
is a move up in the railroad world
for Mr.. Cary, the people here are
chiefly pleased because it does not
necessltate his removal to other
headquarters. Mr.. Cary has been
connected with the Southern System
for several years, and came up from
a clerkship to his present position
solely on merit. He has been in
Jacksonville just "a year, but in that
short time has entirely won the con-
fidence, respect and esteem of the
community, and his advance will be
received with pleasure by all who
have ever in any way come i'm con-
tact with him, in business or social
life.
When the Southern acquird track
age arrangements with the Atlantic
Coast Line and became an initial
line at Jacksonville, few weeks
ago, it was understood that a num-
Der of changes would be made in all
and the force at this
point was, of course, to be consider
able increased. The promotion of
Mr.. Cary is on this line, and his adj
vancement necessitated the appoint
.ilent of a city ticket agent. H. C.
Hunt, of Augusta, Ga, arrived in
jacksonville Friday to take that
place, and w. H. Lanier is assistant
city ticket agent and clerk to the
district passenger agent. The Off
GERS are located as heretofore at l0S
