Admiral Dewey i'm Florida.

Admiral and Mrs. Dewey, who left
Washington the first part of the week
for Palm Beach, passed through Titus
vile Tuesday afternoon. THE STAR ed
itor met the admiral on board the parlor
car on train So and received an introduce
ton to Mrs. Dewey. The admiral and
his charming wife have engaged a suite of
rooms at The Breakers, Palm Beach, for
the season, and are here on account of
Mrs. Dewey's health. He asked Us if all
the people lined up on the station plat
form lived in Titusville, and when We
told him yes, and that most of them, es-
pecially the ladies, had been To the sta
ton since Sunday to get glimpse of the
hero of Manila and his wife, he seemed
quite pleased. He referred briefly to the
engagement at Manila, stating that it
would soon be three years in past history;
but we remarked that the event seemed
almost as yesterday to most of us. An
exchange of the usual courtesies followed
lust as the train started to pull out, and
the admiral and his wife waved their
farewell to the large crowd gathered on
the station platform.

Senator Quay as an Author.

United States Senator Matt Quay, OF
Pennsylvania, who is at his beautiful
winter home in st. Lucie, Fla, is prepar-
ing to write book.
For some time it has been known to
intimate friends of Senator Quay that he
had literary work In contemplation, and
that the purpose of burying himself so
deeply as he has of late In the seclusion
of his Florida place, has been to prepare
for it. Those who claim to know the
senator's inclinations and bent of mind
have not been surprised to learn of his
determination.
In letter to friend in Philadelphia,
Senator Quay states that he intends TO
write under the general caption, Forty
Years In Politics" Beginning with the
opening of his career under Pennsylva-
MAS war governor, Andrew G. Curtin,
Senator Quay has been in close touch
with all the Kaleidoscope changes in pol
itics, not only in Pennsylvania, but the
country at large. 1t is conceded that no
other man in active life today is better
equipped in actual experience than Sena-
tor Quay to narrate political history of
the last four decades.

Obituary.
[CONTRIBUTED.1

1t is with deep regret that we have TO
enroll this week the death of little Marie,
the two year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brady, who died Wednesday after
noon. She was loving and devoted child
'and was we'll liked by all her friends and
relatives. The family have my deepest
sympathy in their great bereavement, for
in the past the grim reaper has cut down
some of the dearest ones on earth To me
and left us in the darkest despair. While
time cannot obliterate the memories of
our precious dead, still it will soften the
heartaches and it is little consolation 10
us to know that our loved ones are free
from the cares and troubles of this world,
and are sweetly sleeping in the arms of
Jesus. A place is made vacant in their
home which never can be filled. God, i'll
his wisdom, has recalled the boon his
love had given. Though the body slum-
bers here, the soul is safe in heaven.
A FRIEND.

agent, the treasurer and the auditor were
read and adopted.
The report of the general agent showed
q marked increase in the amount of fruit
handled by him over that of the year
previous. The average net proceeds per
crate showed an advance, and the one
per cent rebate to the association netted
nearly 81, 400.
G. G. Matthams was re elected presi-
dent of the association; w. l. Allen,
treasurer, and T.V Moore, secretary. w.
Gordon Brown succeeds s. F. Gibbs as
member Of the executive committee.

joyed.
A vote of thanks was rendered Proprie-
tor Jensen, of the Al Fresco, for the use
of his parlor for the session and for other
eourtesies.
The following resolution was passed,
protesting against the free importation of
fruits from Cuba, and against the pro-
posed legislation by congress looking to
the encouragement of the Cuban and
Porto Rican fruit trade to the detriment
of the Florida trade:
Resolved, That in view of the small
tariff at present existing on foreign grown
pineapples, and in view of the efforts
that are being made to reduce our pres
ent tariff by the passage of an act of Con-
gress entitled, San Act to promote the
prosperity of Cuba and to extend the
market for American products"
The above Pineapple Growers associa-
ton would respectfully represent that the
passage of said act would work great
financial injury to an American industry
now struggling with foreign competition
under adverse circum stances. AMI also
would respectfully represent the extent
of this industry, the amount of capital
invested in ir and the peculiar condi-
items under which pineapples are pro
duced in Florida, justly entities it to the
full measure OF protection which Is part
of the American policy for the upbuildin g
of American industries.
Be it further Resolved, That We invite
the cooperation of all other similar as
sociations, including those interested in
citrus fruits, sugar and tobacco.
Be it also further Resolved, That the

Heroines Of English and early
American novelists were decried by
Hamlin Garland in a lecture yester-
day at the University of Chicago.
Summer goods were much amused
when the lecturer declared that the
old-time heroine was as beautiful as
an angel and just as insipid. Books
which picture the heroine in this
manner are not good for the young
girl Of to-day to read, according to
Mr.. Garland. who said that a great

the best novel ought to be true to
common, everyday nature.
L There 10 not so much loving and
iove-making in everyday life as
poets suppose" he said. Man is too

Electricity for Rainfall.

A number of prominent Japanese
scientists are at present engaged
upon series of experiments for the
artificial production of rain by means
of electricity. The first trial was made
in the Fukushima prefecture, and the
results obtained were very satisfac-
tory. Operations were commenced at
II in the evening, but no change was
noted until the next morning, when
clouds began to gather in the vicinity
of the place where the experiments
were being held. Rain soon began to
fall over an area several miles in ex
tent, and continued without intermis-
sion for twelve hours.
