Musicians Autographs.

The Berlin royal library has just
acquired a valuable collection Of au-
tographs Of musicians. Ii was made
by Artaria, publisher Of many Of
Beethoyen's works, who got the best
part Of it for a few hundred forms
from Beethoven's heirs when that
composer died. There are SO auto
graphs Of Beethoven, including some
of his most famous works; 80 Of
Haydn, and Others by Schubert, Ros-
SIM, Paganini, etc. After keeping
these 70 years the Artaria family Of
fered them for sale by auction, To
prevent the collection from being
scattered, DR.. Erich Preiger, Of Bonn,
paid 10000 for it, expecting the
Prussian government to buy it from
him. 1t has now, after four years Of
negotiating done so, but for The same
sum that he paid.

THE BEGGAR's FEAST DAY.
cOnstantinOp'e Has a Special Festival
for Mendicants.

One day in the year Constantinople
is free from the beggar nuisance-on
November 25. This is the festival of
ST. John the Almsgiver, the patron
saint ofthe mendicant profession. No
beggar Of the Greek faith is on his
or her beat that day. In the forenoon
all, or nearly all, orthodox mendicants
attend a special service in the Church
of st. Constantine, at which an arch
bishop officiated. IT was arranged by
their corporation, for they are organ
lied into a guild like any other trade.
The church, spacious as It's, was none
too large for the numerous congrega-
ton Of cadgers, many Of whom in their
holiday garb looked like respectable
citizens. The rest Of the day was
spent in festivities, which we're apt to
extend SO far into the night that many
of the jewellers were unable to attend
to business on the morrow. Bphi-
meris.

whats in a sign?" might be
asked about many of the bulletins
posted all over the city to advertise
some business or cal attention to some
particular thing, says the Newark
News.
The queer turn hal is occasionally
given to a sign often serves to attract
attention to it. However, it is doubt
full if the proprietor of a Market street
dry goods store was pleased with the
change in his sign which occurred re-
Gently. He had a notice in front of.
his place which read: ''The Cheap
est Store Of the City" Some one put
Q theatrical poster over the first four
letters of the cheapest" SO that the
sign read, "The Pest Store of the
City" The merchant wondered why
so few customers called that day.
1t must have been with feelings
other than those of f~attery that the
pastor Of a church in Roseville saw
a notice he put out reading: ''The pas
tor will preach here this evening"
changed by some wag to '9The pastor
will sereach here this evening"
1t was only a mistake in spelling
which made the osner Of a chair re-
pairing shop appear to be doing pre-
serving business, for he had out no
tice which announced ~Chairs Canned
Here"
Some stores have hung in the front
window signs made Of movable letters
;et in frame. A cigardealer, by name
Vera P. Orr, left it to his boy to ar
range the letters one day. The boy
got twisted on thealphSbet. and when
half the day passed and no sales had
been made the proprietor thought Of
looking at The sign. He expected to
find on it the name and announce
ment that cigars were sold there, but
instead this is what confronted him:
Vera Poor Cigars Sold Here
On Bridge street a livery dealer
hung out a sign notifying the public
that there would be a "Sfne sale Of
horses" but a boy with stick dipped
in some tar changed the 'n7 to an
81 50 that the sign read: 'I'ire Sale
Of Horses"
The proprietor wondered what
some Of his customers meant by ask
ing him if the horses were badly
burned until he saw the sign.

California Man Who Likes a Little Ore

A Los Angeles man, who visits Port

pened to be here during the heavy
rains of a few days ago. Instead Of
making sarcastic remarks about it al
ways raining in Oregon, he was de-

MODERN NAVAL PREPARATION
Wide Diassene. OF Expert Opinion on
the Subject

the Subject
An amazing confusion prevails,
says the Nineteenth Century. For
a long period the simple screw was
preferred to the twin system in this
this country, and now in the German,
American and Russian navies triple
screws are being fitted. While these
rivals are developing the screw sys-
tenn, the British admiralty are look
ing to the turbine as a possible e
of securing in men of war a speed
hitherto regarded as unattainable.
We have been using the Belleville
boiler; the Germans are building
ships of war, not one or two, butmany,
in which half the boilers are cylindri-
cal and half water tube. In the Brit
ish navy coal is exclusively used; Rus
STA is building ships in which half
the boilers will be heated by coal and
half by oil. In this country two big
guns are mounted in the turrets Of
II battleships, fore and aft; the
Americans, in spite Of the diversity Of
opinion prevailing on the other side
of the Atlantic, are placing one
turret on top Of the other, which is
known as the "superposed turret" sys-
tenn. Sweden is following the Ameri-
can fashion. France is relying main
ly on torpedo boats; Great Britain is
placing her trust in torpedo boat de-
~stroyers. Our neighbors across the
channel are undermining many of
their older battleships; we are con
centrating all our efforts on entirely
new ships. France hurriedly adapted
an armor-piercing she'll for her so
ton guns; we Experimental, and have
now a much superior projectiIe. The
great powers some years since estab-
lshed pigeon forts along their coasts
and spent large sums in breeding and
training suitable birds to carry com
munications from ships Of war to the
naval centers ashore; the British adj
miralty hesitated, at last established
three lofts, and now it is evident that
wireless telegraPhy will supplant the
winged messengers Of war.
These are examples Of the disor-
dered state Of naval opinion as it APP
pears to anyone who attemps to get
a bird's-eye view Of the tendency Of
construction and equipment in the
arsenals Of the world. Some Of the
powers are e~ndeavoring to perfect fly
ing machines which will bring aerial
warfare within the realms Of posi-
bility; others are relying on the fea-
sibility Of carrying destruction Sc
cretly beneath the waves. There are
persons again-and among them one
Of the most skillful naval construct
ors under the admiraIty-who believe
that in the lear future a complete
revolution in the means Of naval war
fare may be witnessed. They look to
the marshaling of ships in something
of the same order as land forces. In
their dreams they see s%quadrons afoat
corresponding to an army division on
land, and comprising the three arms,
infantry, artillery and mounted
troops The battleships will be
heavily armored and will carry big
guns, but no torpedoes; the cruisers,
built 10 scout, will have lighter guns,
but will be also without ~torpedoes,
and, lastly, torpedo craft will be inno-
cent Of guns Of any type, even Of the
smallest ealiber, relying solely upon
the weapon that gives them their dis

A Great Deal at Stake.

A New York paper says that the
firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., which
is composed of twelve partners, is
interested to greater or less ex'
tent in properties which have a
capitalization of Sc, 8,50O,O0O.
The magnitude of this amount
of wealth is too great for the hum.
an mind to grasp. The national
debt of this country is only about
81, ,107, 100000. Here we have a
banking institution that is actually
controlling to greater or less ex'
tent, or at least has voice in the
management Of, properties which
have value of about six times the
amount of the national debt of the
country. Is it to be wondered at
then that under such circumstances
Wall street remains comparatively
quiet when Mr.. Morgan is away on
his vacation, but shows activity i'm
mediately upon his return?
Not long since it was stated that
there was movement among bank
ers and others interested in Wall
street to request Mr.. Morgan not to
increase the responsibilities of his
banking house; that is, not to un-
dertake any more big enterprises.
1t is urged that this is not because
of any jealousy of his banking in
stitutiOn, but because it was con-
sidered that for financial safety his
banking house should not increase
its liabilities and responsibilities.
1t is further urged that if hard
times came and the report was put
out that the banking house of J. p.
Morgan IL Co. was involved it
would be impossible to prevent a
panic that would financially pros
trate the entire country.

This part of Florida is beginning
to wonder what has become of our
annual rainy season? So far this
year we are over ten inches short
of the normal amount of rainfall.
That amount of rain now would
prove almost deluge. About this
time last year we had an excess of
some thirteen inches, and at the
close of last year it amounted to
nearly twenty inches. The pendu-
lum has vibrated from one extreme
to the other, from an excess to a
deficiency. Now watch the wealth
er the coming winter, and see
whether the old Seminole predic-
ton comes true.

Warm Times Coming.
From the Tallahasseean.

Il
| The warmest times ever seen in Florids
politics are brewing, and unless all signs
fail they are going to materialize some
time within the next two years. Only
one thing can prevent it, and that would
be the complete and unconditional sur
render of his seat in the United States
senate by Senator Taliaferro, and that is
thing seldom done by man once he is
elected to that position.
Hon. John n. G. Stockton, of Duval
county, made speech down in Levy
county few weeks ago in which he made
| it pretty plain to the 'divinirg" politi.
clans that he was after Senator Taliafer-
ro's scalp. Some of the editors of the
state professed, however, not to see the
point, and Mr.. Stockton subsequently
submitted" to being interviewed by a
Metropolis reporter, and during the course
of his remarks put himself squarely in the
race.
This state of affairs has been looked
forward to for some time in we'll informed
political circles. In fact the primary cam
paIgn just closed was made in Duval
county upon that issue, Thomas t. Stock
ton being a candidate for state senator
upon what was known as the ''Taliaferro
ticket" and his brother, Telfair Stockton,
opposing him on an 'anti-TaliaferrO
ticket" The latter won, and it was sup
posed that meant the candidacy of Mr..
John n. G. Stockton against Mr. Talia-
ferrO two years hence. The only surprise
is that the open announcement is made
so soon.
As above stated, unless Mr.. Taliaferro
backs down and surrenders without a
struggle it will be warm fight. We do
not believe he will do that. Mr.. Talia-
ferro, as well as Mr.. Stockton, is made
ont of the ''stick- to-it-ive" cloth, and be
sides there is no precedent for peacefully
surrendering the job. Mr.. Taliaferro is
the leading spirit IN one of the states
leading business houses, and Mr.. Stock
ton one of the most prominent persons
connected with the National Bank of
Florida, both located at Jacksonville.
They are also both men of considerable
means, and both have the backing of
great powers of wealth. When they "lock
horns" as they are bound to do, there
will be some of the liveiIest political
scrapping ever seen in Florida
The Florida star., 1902-08-29

We note that the Times-Union
and Citizen, which has eschewed
state politics especially from its ed
itorial columns heretofore, in fact
has on several occasions failed to
take any decided stand on issues of
great Importance, such as the capi-
tai removal question, etc, has come
out within the past week with
some warm editorials on the COM
ing senatorial struggle.

Good Roads Association.
From the Melbourne Times

From the Melbourne Times
| The Good RoadsAssociation of theThird
Commissioners District of Brevard county
met at Stewards hall pursuant to adjourn
ment, on Wednesday, the Goth inst with
a fair representation of the members
present.
A permanent organization was effected
by the adoption. of form of constitution
this provides for the official title of the
Organization, as above; provides that any
voter or land owner in this district is eli
gibie for membership; fixes membership
fee of 25 cents; provides for regular quar-
terly meetings to De held in August, No
vember, February and May, and special
meetings at the call of the president on
the written petition of three or more
members; pledges cooperation with other
similar organizations throughout the
county and state. The officers for the first
year are as follows: President, Hon. E.
z. Branch; vice-president, Mr. Z. B. Ar
mold, Malabar; secretary, Capt. w. J.
Nesbitt, Eau Gallie; treasurer, Mr.. G. f.
Paddison, Eau GalIie.
A resolution WAS adopted requesting
the county commissioner of this, the third
district, TO furnish the association at each
regular quarterly meeting an itemized re-
port OF all county funds expended for
road purposes i'm the district during the
preceding quarter.
The association has already good, sub
stantial membership, composed of the
representative citizens of the district, and
much permanent good must he accom-
plished if the enthusiasm for the organi-
zation thus far displayed continues. Good
roads are demanded by the progressive
people everywhere, and the necessity of
wise and liberal expenditure of public
funds for improved roads has never been
more widely recognized than at the pres
ent time
Let all citizens of the district not
already Identified with this movement
correspond with the officers of the associ-
alton and request that their names be en-
rolled, and keep an eye on the public
press for such information as NAV be
given ont from time to time in this move

Census of the SeminOIeS

To the question, how many Sem

Moore Wilson, who has made a

From the best obtainable sour
ces there were in the year 1859 only
one hundred and twelve Indians
left in Florida. In 1880, by actual
count, as reported by the Smithso-
nian Institution, the Seminoles of
Florida numbered two hundred
and eight. According to data got
ten from the Indians themselves,
the tribe today 1896 numbers near

Senator Simmons. of North c;

Senator Simmons, of North Car
olina, is of the opinion that the on
ly way for President Roosevelt to
build up ''respectable" Republi-
can party in the south is to COM
mence at the ground and build up
ward. If he should attempt to do
anything like that, his strongest
opponents would be those who now
vote the Republican ticket. No;
the Republicans of the south do
not want "respectable" party.
The leaders are now pretty much
all in office, and to regenerate the
party on the lines suggested would
just simply mean the clearing out
of them all.
