Those who use the pipe have to fear

the most serious that smokers can meet

Trouble With The Negro.

Rev. w. w. Lucas, anegro preach.
er who is field agent of the negro
Young Peoples Christian Educa.
tional Congress, has been preaching
to large congregations of negroes in
Mobile. Here are some things he
said to his cOlored brethren:
l have decided that the only way
to get rid of the 'jim crow" car is to
get rid of the Jim crow" negro.
If | could use 100000 bars of SOAP
on the unwashed negroes that travel
on trains and hang AROUND depots
| would solve the negro problem
about 20 per cent.
Lazy, ragged, barGTeet fellows long
ing for silver slippers and long white
robes and counting themselves
worthy; neglecting to provide a
home for their families on earth
and yet claiming II house not made
with their hauds in Gods heaven.
The white man is trying to make
this earth blossom as rose, and the
negro is getting ready to die.
The white man is organizing bust
ness enterprises and the negro organ
izlng societies to turn out to their
funerals! Now | object to a hundred
dollar funeral for 50-cent negro.
The negro eats up and dresses
away all he makes. One square
meal on Sunday sweeps away all the
wages of the weeks. He reminds me
of the mule which ate the shipping
tag from his leg. An old negro eX-
claimed: Gee dat mule done ct up
whar's he gwine." That's what the
negro does. He eats up his living.

New Church Society.

Under the guidance of Wyatt Mel
son, worthy and deeply piOus col
ored man, a new church has been or
ganized among the colored people
here to affiliate with the Methodist
Episcopal church-the original body
of Methodists in this country.
Methodism, like many other religi-
Gus bodies, split up over the slavery
question, the southern branch organ
izing under the name of the M. e.
church, south. The northern branch,
since the war, has established con-
ferences in many of the southern
states, and though governed by a
house of bishops all of whom are
white, this church has established
conferences among the colored peo-
pie, who are amenable to the same
general conference, discipline and
bishops.
The great majority of colored
Methodists have withdrawn alto
gether from white associations and
have churches of their own. These
are the African M. e. church, the
African NJ. E. Zion church, and 9th
er lesser bodies.
The church established here by
Wyatt Nelson will be subject to the
white church discipline. Nelson
was for long time leading MEM
Der of the A. M. E. church, but he
could not get along for some reason
or other with the former pastor, so
he withdrew. Asked as to the NUM-
Der in his new society. Nelson stat
ed that so far there were but two,
himself and wife, but that he expect
ed TO gain recruits from such other
colored people in this neighborhood
who ought to be saved. The new
church society has fitted up the
meeting house of a long since dis
banded body of Baptist dissenters in
Rossville, and will have regular
monthly preaching from the M. r.
pastor in Palatka. In the meantime,
Nelson, who is local preacher will
try and hold the fort.

The CRESCENT Cry News.

capt. and Mrs. j. w. Miller and
the children spent n couple days last
week at San Mateo, guests of Mr.. and
MRS. John A. Crosby. Capt. Miller
has an interest in the San Mateo
Fruit Company, which company is
building shed over l0-acre orange
and grape fruit grove.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Maxon, IT.,
Of Hoboken, N. j., have written to
Capt. S. M. LaBree requesting him,
II possible, to secure them house,
as it is their purpose to move to
Crescent City in the fall. Mr.. Max
son will ship his furniture and house,
hold goods here in advance. Mr..
and Mrs. MaXsOn spent a portion of
the winter here three years ago, and
were guests at Grove Hall. During
their stay, they made many friends,
all of whom will be pleased to know
that they intend to settle here.
The news comes from st. Angus
tine that Mr.. and Mrs. James Nor
row, formerly of this place, and
o .c9 proprietors of the Morrow
House here, have opened pleasant,
all-the-year-'round family no l.,
called La POsada, at st. Augustine.
For the past several years Mr.. Nor
row has been merchandising at Sc
bastian, town way down on the
east coast. They are competent to
manage hotel right, and the News
bespeaks for them success in this
new enterprise.
Chas. G. Glor and wife of New
York were guests at Grove Hall over
Friday. Mr.. Glor had never been in
Florida before, and as he cannot take
a vacation in winter, he made up his
mind to come in summer. With his
wife he has been spending some
time in Jacksonville, and the two
came to Crescent, City for the pur-
pose of seeing an Orange Grove.
They drove out to Capt. Millers
place on Friday morning and the
Capt. and Mrs Miller showed them
over the grove. 1t was the hottest
kind of a day-just the kind that is
usual in New York at this season Of
the year, but Mr.. Glor claimed to be
amply repaid for the trip. He could
have travelled all over Florida and
not seen a better kept grove or more
heavily laden trees.

TELLS OF FLOATING ISLANDS.
RsSOunts Rema rInable Experience
IN Caribbean Sea,

The Norwegian steamer Donald,
from Banes, with fruit, has arrived at
Philadelphia, and Capt. Warnecke tells
this remarkable tale:
ave were two days out from Banes,
and about 30 miles from Watkins is
land, in the Caribbean sea, when we
came upon foatinS island. l, with
the mate and several of the crew.
rowed toward it. Thousands of little
monkeys scampered all about the
shore, and when we were in range they
began bombardment by shyingcocoa-
nuts at us. We captured two mon
keys.
1.-The following day we discovered an
other floating island. This time we
were greeted by covey of parrots of
most brilliant plumage."
Capt Warnecke declared that the
eruption in Martinique had shaken up
the entire district, and the small
pieces of land had become separated
from some inhabited island.

The Enormous Earnings of
Clever Young PeODIc,

The concert stage has proved a
gold mine to several musical prOdi-
giles, among the latest of whom Is
Pepito Rodriguez, the marvellous boy
pianist. Five years ago he first saw
The light at Ferrol, in Spain, and at
the age of three he could play any
air from memory which he had once
heard. He has received very little
regular musical education, yet last
season he was being paid at the rate
OF $500 to 81 600 night for his reci-
tails in Paris, and has just contracted
to give series of fifty performances
in the United States at $500 apiece,
so that it may be safely argued that
by the time he is old enough TO go to
school he will have made a fortune
that would turn many a wealthy city
merchant green with envy.
At the age of josef Hoffman,
was earning $4,000 a year. He stud
led under Rubinslein and toured
through Europe, gi, ing concerts in
all the principal cities; but signing
for a larger income, he crossed the
"herring pond" and gave fifty-two
recitals, which brought him in a
profit of 100000, and quite lately he
retired to finish his education.
Another marvellous youth, Otto Heg-
ner. made fortune of $l50,0C0 ere he
was out of his teens aud then re-
tired; but weary of doing nothing,
he began to teach music at enormous
fees, which aggregated the respec-
tive total of $4,000 II year.
The most successful child actor
was undoubtedly the late w. H.
Betty, nicknamed the Roscious. He
went on the stage at the tender age
of 8, at IL was staring at Covent Gar
den theater, London, and throughout
Britain. So great was his ropulari-
ty that for more than year he made
$500 "A night and at Is retired with
sum of 100000 to be educated. Five
years later he reappeared, but his
popularity had waned, so he very
wisely vanished into private life
again and lived on his lily acquired
fortune.
Italy is justly proud of her boy
sculptor, Victor Righetti, who was
making the enormous sum of $4,000
per annum when only ten years of
age. Although not yet out of his
teens, he isInaking a larger income
than any other italian sculptor,
while some of his most recent work
has been mentioned in the same
breath with Michael Angelo.
Willie Hoppe, of Cornwall Land
ing, n. Y, is the cleverest billiard
player for his age that ever lived,
and, although he has yet to see his
twelfth birthday, his income has
averaged $3.50 week for some time
past. He has toured through Europe
and defeated such masters of the
game as Bert Taylor, Burroughes
and VoscOnO, who is said to be the
finest player living. AT Greene's
academy, Chicago, recently, his
highest average was SO, making an
unfinished RIM of l56 at 14-inch balk
line.-Denver Times.

Orange Prospects.

The past summer has not been one
calculated to improve the orange
crop prospects in this neighborhood.
The long dry spell Immediately fol-
lowing the formative period of the
fruit caused a large portion Of it
to drop, and the continued drouth
has prevented much of that which
remained on the trees from develop
ing into the size which should nat
urally mark its appearance at this
season of the year During the past
six weeks we have had frequent
showers, but at no time has there
been such a fall of rain as would give
the ground thorough soaking AS
result of this scarcity OF rain not
only has the fruit failed to properly
develop, but there has been lack Of
growth to the trees.
The groves that have been well
cared for are looking healthy and
should we get our usual amount of
September rain it is possible that the
fruit may yet develop into its normal
size.
Capt. Miller's trees are literally
loaded with fruit, and the trees are
in remarkably fine condition con-
sidering the eccentricity of the sea-
son, but his grapefruit and oranges
are very much smaller than last sea-
son. Unless the fruit develops there
will be something of "A falling off in
the number of boxes to the tree over
his earlier calculations.
Most of the groves around Crescent
City have been well cared for and
just now are presenting a very at
tractive appearance. Most all grow
ers will have some fruit to ship, and
November and December will wit
ness an activity in this line that will
remind settlers of rye olden time"
