This morning I scrawled a penciled
note to you at Miami, and mailed it
when arrived here. This, they claim,
to be the largest hotel in the world,
1852 rooms, the structure being in
length equal to seven city blocks. 1t
may be called practically six stories
high. 1t is SO immense that | found

same to be in all the rooms.
The grounds are most beautiful.
The cocoa palm leads in the display.
Then there is the palmetto, and other
palms, and a pine Of peculiar adapta-
ton to the grounds. There are many
tropical trees and shrubs and number
less plants and flowers, many of which
show their botanical names. Among
the many flowers that decorate the
abundant green there is nothing that
stands out, like stars in the sky, more
than the rich red of the hibiscus.

The following notes are taken from
hastily penned letter Of tourist. Or
course they are not in any such form
as the writer would have put them if
he had known that the energetic edi-
tor of The NEwTOWN BEE was to get
his hands upon them, but they are
given as they dropped from the pen
just to remind the good people here
abouts, while they are Shiveridg under
March winds and struggling through
muddy depths, that somewhere the
sun is warmly shining and somewhere
perpetual summer reigns. AS one
pegs away with pen or with plough II
hours a days, it is perhaps comforting
to know that a mighty host of leisure
loving people are basking in the sun
light and, by most modern methods,
working hard to kill time. All the

London, Ilarch 13.-ihe war secre-
tary, Mr. Brodrick, announced in
the House of Commons to-day that
he understood that Gen. Lord Meth
uen, who was captured, severely
wounded, by Gen. Delarey, March 10,
had been released and was expected
to arrive at Klerksdorp, southwest
ern Transvaal, to-day. The gener-
ais condition was favorable.
Mr.. Brodrick added that the ex-
change OF Gen. Methuen for Com
mandant Kritzinger had not been
contemplated. The trial of the COM
mandant had been postponed be-
cause consideration of the evidence
to be presented had not been CON-
pleted. -'s --a-----faa-----------
Why Delarey chose to release
Methuen instead OF keeping him as a
hostage for the fair treatment OF
Beers in British hands or for ex-
change for Crenie only can be guess
cd.
The opinion is advanced that
Methu N was set free for human rea-
sons solely, Delarey's little army
lives in the saddle. 1t has no camp,
no base of operations and probably
no direct or certain communication
with other Boer communicates,
II Methuen were retained as a pri-
soner, he would be kept constantly
on the move, and would hav, to he
transported in Cape cart, which on
account Of his wound might soon
cause his death Delarey is known
as "A very humane nan, Then, too,
it is reasoned that the freeing Of
Methuen will have a good effect in
tending to increase the world s ad.

Mr. Brodrick said subsequently,
that the telegram received did not

One of the interesting features of
Walter Williams letters is the com
parasons he makes between the for
eign sections he has visited to some
parts of Missouri territory. In de-
scribing Egypt he says; Upon the
map it looks quite large. In reality,
however, when only ths cultivable
and inhabitable land is included, it
is absurdly small. 1t contains but
1000 square miles or scarcely one
sixth the territory OF the state Of
Missouri. Stretched upon the map
of Missouri Egypt would include
about the Missouri river bottom
lands, averaging ten miles wide from
Kansas City to the Mississippi, and
the shore OF that river to st. Louis
for the Delta. 1t is more densely
populated than any country in Eu-
rope. The same population to the
square mile in Missouri would give
that state "a million people and che
same yield per acre would increase it's
exports more than sixty fold"
