MATRIMONY AS WAS UTAH

DR.. Sarah J. Elliot, of Utah, ad.
dressed an enthusiastic meeting in
New York called TO advocate the
proposed constitutional amendment
against polygamy. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the w. c.
Y. u. and the National Council of
Women for Christian and Patriotic
Services.
"If the people in this part of the
country knew as much about poly
gamy as | do" said DR.. Elliot, "they
would rise in their might and insist
on this amendment to the cOnstitu-
tion "
DR.. Elliot told II story to illustrate
the peculiar hold which mOrmonism
has on the minds of it's devotees.
She had treated woman in Salt
Lake City, and one day the patient
called on her.
You have been very kind to me,
DOCTOR" she said, "and have saved
my life. In return | would like to
save your soul"

"YOu may marry my husband" 5"

Was A Fine Show,

Hi Henry's big minstrel company
gave an entertainment to a crowded
house in Fry's opera house last Mon
day night, and it was one of the
cleanest, most entertaining perform
ances of the kind ever given in Pa
latka. The music, both vocal and
Instrumental, was excellent, and the
commedians were far above the
average in ability. Some of the
specialties, notably those of Senor
and Sonora Francelia, exponents of
physical culture, J. A. Probst, the
imitator of birds. animals and ma
chinery, and the Renzetta troupe of
acrobats, were the best of their kind
on the American stage. Mr.. Henry's
cornet solo work was good. He is
not a great cornetist, but what he
lacked in ability he more than made
up in the beauty of his person, his
horn and his personal adornments.
The audience showed its pleasure in
every number on the program. The
troupe as a whole is the best thing
in minstrelsy on the road.

OUR FLORAHOME LETTER

Christmas has come and gone. L
brought to Florahome the pleasures
of social intercourse and the usua
accompanying feast at midday
! Gifts, too, were given and received
tokens of that gift of the great Faith
er of his only begotten Son, who, t.
conquer the hosts of evil, came t,
us-Immanuel.
At our school house the ladies OF
the colony spread most bounteous
feast, of which about seventy-five
partook, and the remnants almost
repeated the history of the miracu-
lous feeding of the five thousand
! from five loaves and two fishes.
Not unlike every other part of the
world, Florahome has two distinct
social circles those devoted TO the
church in it's various denomlnational
characteristics and those not so. The
| feast of Christmas was very largely
partaken of by the first class. This
class, not allied to the 400 selects OF
New York or even bearing a dis
tinct mark among themselves, form
i'm FlorahOme, as in other places, the
'salt of the EARTH" holding in its
grasp the moral as well as religious
| influence. The feast was brought to
most unusual end by a dessert of
strawberries, great, luscious, ripe
beauties, the generous gift of most
generous soil and climate.
The day was the perfection OF days
for a winter feast, having q slight
tinge of chill with the cheerful sun
shine warmth, known in no other
place in the world than Florida. |
have often thought what a grand
thing it would be if some multi-mil-
lionaire could on Christmas day so
far forget himself and his selfish ma
ture as to present to 10000 worthy
men-men who could be known to
be reliable-each a home of one
thousand dollars value, where the
individual might choose. 1t would
be almost human-1ivine.
Friday and Saturday nights gave
us the coldest weather of the winter,
freezing water one-quarter OF an
inch and killing all tender vegeta-
tion. In exposed places the mercury
dropped to 20 degrees above zero. 1t
was the switch end of the tail of the
blizzard that swept through the
north, leaving devastation and death
in its wake.

For a Farmers Institute.

Hon. w. H. Cook of Pomona
las been appointed local chairman
in Putnam county for arranging for
1 Farmers Institute. His appoint
nent comes from the agricultural
department. of the Florida Agricul-
tural College. 1t is advised that the
farmers of the county get together
and decide on a place of meeting and
select the subjects they would like
to hear discussed, which may de
hree in number, the expense of
speakers to that number being paid
for by the agricultural department.
Mr.. Cook as chairman is also au-
thorized to pay the advertising and
other local expenses of the meeting.
G.. M. Conner, superintendent of
the State Farmers Institutes, says:
agriculture, like every other
branch of industry, has made rapid
strides during the last quarter cen
tury, and we are now living in an
age of specialized farming. In or
der to make success YOU must un-
derstand every detail of your work.
Farming is no longer a business to
be followed in haphazard way; but
certain laws in regard to feeding
stock, fertilizing the crop, ETC.,
which have been worked out by sci
entific workers, must be intelligently
followed to meet with success.
Arrange meeting where these
new principles can be discussed and
better understood. No institute
will be held in your county unless
YOU assure the superintendent that
some interest is being taken in the
matter. 1t costs considerable money
to hold one of these institutes, and
as the funds are limited, we shall go
only where there is some interest
shown in the matter. 49,
wake up! and don't let the out
side world say that Florida farmers
take no interest in their business.
ANY questions in regard to this mat
ter will be cheerfully answered by
the superintendent
Institutes have been held in Put
nam county each year for the past
three years. The first and second at
Crescent City and Pomona were de-
cided successes. The third was held
i'm Palatka last year, aud was also
well attended. The News would
suggest that the farmers take the
matter up again this year and hold
an institute in the western part of
the county.

THE SAM Jones STYLE-

Rev. b. n. Taylor, a Methodist
evangelist, has sued the Christian
Advocate of New York for libel fol
publishing articles attacking him.
The first is entitled "Unholy Holi-
ness" 1t opens with an account of
q campmeeting where Mr.. Taylor
preached, and says that Mr. Taylor
''introduced rude, insulting speech,
coarse Jest, ribald song, sly inuendO,
self-praise, and exhibited "a censO-
rious spirit,n all connected with "a
most extraordinary claim of sanctity
and oneness with Christ" 1t alleges
further, that on Sunday after
noon, as the multitude were gather
ing for worship, he-sang a ribald ne
gro campaign song The Christian
Advocate goes on to say:
zone of the evil effects produced
by such ranters is that they draw
quite an attendance for q while and
turn the heads of undevelOped young
ministers, who think it Il good thing
to initiate them. They profess the
inspiration of the Holy Ghost, yet
abound in savage, vitriolic, vulgar
talk which no sensitive mother or

"Mr. Wesley had trouble with
such, and expelled some from the So
ciety. With all their irregularities
and uncertainties, there is one thing
they can be relied upon to do, and
that is to tear church to pieces,
leave scars on every hand, aud make
it excessively difficult for pastors
who have zeal according to their
knowledge to rebuild the places
which they have laid waste"

Caught With the Gun.

Sheriff Howell arrested Harry
Sykes of Crescent City as he stepped
off the steamer Crescent on it's arri-
val at the dock here Wednesday
morning. When arrested Sykes
was accompanied by a young mar
ried woman from San Mateo, named
Bennett, who is separated from her
husband. Sykes was wanted on a
warrant charging him with carry
ing conceled weapon, and is the
young man implicated in the promis-
cuous shooting on the streets of Cres-
cent City last Fridry night. His ar
rest as he stepped from the boat was
Il surprise both to himself and the
woman.
Sykes was taken to Jail and pis-
tOl was found among his effects.
This settled the matter and he was
taken before Judge Coke, where he
pleaded guilty to having the revol-
yer, though the Bennett woman
claimed it as her property. Judge
Coke imposed a fine of 800, on
Sykes with the alternative of going
to Jail for three months. He went to
jail and the woman started out to Sc
cure the amount of the fine.
Had Sykes not had a pistol in his
possession, it would have been neees-
sary to summon witnesses from
Crescent City.
The young man implicated with
Sykes in the shooting last week is
still at large, but the sheriff says he
will have him. Both were drunk at
the time and were celebrating
Christmas.

John Maddigan, of New York City,

and two little sisters, his father be-
ing unable, owing to illness, to work

house, little food and no comforts.
Last week there was sold at auction
a diamond ring, the value of which
would k ep the family from want for
several weeks to come.
Little "Johnny' Maddigan found
that ring in the street on June 5, 1900.
There has appeared no claimant for
it, and the police will sell it to the

for it to be placed in the city treas

Third avenue that the little fellow
found a diamond and pearl ring. He
carried it home, and to his aston

from heaven. 1t meant food and
plenty for them for at least a few
days. But when an attempt was
made to pawn the ring johnny"

theft of the valuable ring. The police
estimate the value of the jewel at
