EVOLUTION OF THE ORANGE.


For centuries the orange was the ex.
elusive possession of the Latin, Mon
golian and Malay races; then it was
carried to India, then to America and
fell under the improving touch Of the
Anglo-Saxon. Bringing together the
Incompatible Jaffa, as seeding from
Palestine, the Melitensis from Malta,
and Others, he budded and grated in
Florida until the fruit was brought,
through blending and selection, to the
highest pitch of perfection, as it
seemed, says the Florida Times Union.
But strangely enough, there came
out of the province of Bolivia, Brazil,
still another seedling--one of those
consummate blossoms of perfection
through centuries of waiting on ma
ture by the Latin which the American
accomplishes by -pollination in
five years--the Bahia or navel orange.
1t had reached the acme of quality not
only in flavor, but also in its attribute
of seedlessness.
Now, is not that proper food for
tuC uiuAt0t tC ihdis a - uit WHICH has
no progeny, nor future, no possible
function except as a minister to him?
The orange has been called the uni
yersal fruit of commerce, and so it is.
for its aroma carries it unharmed, the
acrid juices of its peel protect it
against insects, its toughness endures
long transportation, and everywhere
on earth, men eagerly seek its subtle
charm and its exquisite nectar.
The orange is not strictly food, but
it is greater; it is the connecting link
to higher status, the guarantee and
preserver of health and of intellect.
The gross gormandizing on meats, the
curse of drink, burning the brain,
hardening its delicate conyolutions-
these are the fountains Of ills innumer-
able: the pangs of gout, the sudden
and black terror of apoplexy. But this
gentle and benign pharmacopeia of
nature, these fruits with their won
derful blending of corrective acids and
cordials, are the ready medicament Of
the ultimate man. AS we advance in
horticulture and develop other seed
less and perfect fruits we shall ap-
prosch the perfect regimen of high
er humanity.

swA7ow GLAZED WARE.



A little treaty port on the Chinese
coast, known as Swatow, has given
its name to an odd variety Of glazed
earthenware, which, long favorite
in the TAR east, has begun to appear
in the markets Of New York and other
American cities. The name is coinci-
dental, states the New York Post.
Swatow is small place, whose chief
industry is the provisioning Of steam
ships and sailing vessels. Built IS the
| port Of the big city Of Chor Chow Foo,
whose population il said to be . mil
lion and q half, and whose industries
are famous in the Chinese empire.
Near the latter are inexhhustibIe beds
of kaolin, blue, gray, and other fine
clays. which have supplied rs kilns
for centuries. Formerly. it exported
it's keramic wares overland to Can
ton.
The opening Of Swatow to the "for-
eign devils" diverted this traffic by
degrees to the latter port, more es-
pecialy that in keramic goods des-
tined for export to foreign lands. The
wares in question were exhibited in
the Swatow shops, and found custom
6rs first in steamship officers and then
in travellers. The stcresf fiourished and
ere long began to export on their own
account. Ip this way the goods came
to be known as Swatow ware.
The foundation is gray earthen-
ware with thick opaque glaze, usual
~ sea-green, and the articles are fash |
ioned after, or decorated with, marine
forms. The commonest type Is q
wall packet made in the shape Of q
crab, lobster, crayfish, rock cod, carp,
or 1mullet. The colorature varies. In |
the best specimens an attempt Is made
to reproduce the natural Appearance

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

There seems to be but one expression Of
opinion from the press and the good
people of the country about the assassina-
ton of N. 6. Gonzales, editor of the
Columbia Is. G. State, and that is stern
resentment. This murder is one of the
bitter fruits of Tillmanism. It's a terrible
sacrifice upon such an altar, but it is to be
hoped that it will result in freeing South
Carolina from the curse of Tillmanism.
The Virginia Republicans ought to have
a daily newspaper. They are able to
sustain one, and it could be made the
means of doing great service for the party.
1t ought to be started during the present
year, and it should be made at the be-
ginning one of the handsomest and most
papers in the South.
1t is said that the Democrats in Congress
are busiy engaged preparing substitute
bills and amendments to use in fighting
the trust bills that are being prepared and
will be reported by the Republicans. If
the Democrats were sincere in their
hostility to trusts they would wait until
they knew what the Republican bills will
contain before they commenced prepar-
alton to oppose and possibly defeat them.

The correspond mt here of the Asso-
ciated Press has received the following
letter from General Bello, the commander
of the fort:
yesterday afternoon at 1890 Fort San
Carlos was attacked and shelled, without
any provocation on our part, without
previous notification or the delivering of
an rltimatum, by the German cruiser
Panther, which tried to force the en-
trance. After a fight lasting an hour,
during which the fort used only four guns,
the Panther was obliged to abandon the
fight and retreat in the direction of
Curacao. The fort has suffered no
damage and only three men were wound
ed"
There have been popular demonstra-
tions on the streets here as a result of the
shelling of the fort.

Enid 0. T. January 17.-Dayid Z.
George, a wealthy resident ofthe territory,
who committed suicide here, announced
himself on his deathbead to be John
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President
Lincoln. He stated to the Dispatch cor
respondent that he had successfully eluded
the officers after shooting Lincoln and had
since remained in cognitO.
His statement caused sensation and
an investigation was made. Surgeons
examined the body and stated the man to
be of the age Booth would be at this time,
and announced that his leg was broken in
the same place and in the same manner
as that of Booth, after jumping from the
Presidents box in Ford's Theatre after
the assassination in 1865. All the time
George has received money regularly from
unknown sources and the telegram
arriving yesterday and to-day ask that the
body be held for Identification. One
telegram was from the address,: George
E. Smith, Colfax, Ia" the same source as
the mysterious money remittance.
Smith is mysterious to every one in
Oklahoma. Upon his arrival in Enid to-
day, he commanded that no other persons
be allowed to view the remains and prom
ised to return for the body later.
MIR. Smith was asked if Mr.. George had
ever con6ded any of his life's history to
him, to which he answered:
"Well, yes, to some extent. He has
told me of having killed man in Texas
for which crime, think, he bad been ac'
Quilted. He may be John Wilkes Booth.

George committed suicide in the Grand
Avenue Hotel by taking poison. He had
previously attempted suicide at Eli Reno.
A letter found in his pocket is addressed
"To Whom 1t May Concern" and sets

though its contents are not known. He
was worth $4,000, owning property In
Ell Reno, o. T., in Dallas, Tex, and &
lease on 600 acres in the Indian Territory
He carried S., 900 insurance. No reason
for the suicide is known.
George maintained to his attendants ii
his diving hour that he was Booth, ant
his general appearance closely resembles
that of the murderer of Lincoln. History
states that Booth was killed in Virgins
barn, and that his remains were. burned
with the building.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 19.-At one
O'Clock this afternoon Mr.. n. q. Gonzales
died at the Columbia Hospital. He was
unconcious when the end came and death
was painless. His wife, his three brothers
A. Z. and w. Z. Gonzales, of the State.
A. b. Gonzales, of Colleton, his sister,
Miss Harriet h. E. Gonzales, and MEN,
bers of the editorial staff of the State, and
his devoted surgeons were present.
The morning papers had informed the
public that hope had been practically
abandoned few minutes after the end
came Twas known all over Columbia.
The whole city is deep in sorrow. There
is no apparent anger, no display OF excite
ment, but even to stranger passing
through the city the unnatural quiet at a
time when the legislature and the inau-
guration of new administration is immin-
ent should make il more than usually
animated. On the streets the people talk
in hushed voices of the great calamity,
and in the universal silent acceptance of
sorrow all other emotions seems to be lost.
At O'Clock this morning DIR. w. Gill
Wylie, after consulting with Drs Barron
and Query and members of the family,
in view of the hopelessness of other rem.
edies, decided to try the experiment of the
injection of formaldehyde, acting on infor'
nation of the recent discoveries of DR..
Barrows, of New York. The fluid was
procured and prepared by an experienced
druggist.
At 7:30 MIR. Gonzales was conscious and
the family was summoned, lin anticipation
of possible unfavorable effect of the in
lection. At o'clock the injection was
made in the arm. 1t was known that
favorable results in arrest of perltonitis, if
they would follow at all, would be at once
manifest. But there was no improvement.
, AS time passed the patients respiration
grew weaker and the evidence ofapprOach-
ing death palmer. Just before the end
the surgeons resorted to a second injection,
There was momentary Strengthening OF
the pulse, but almost before the injection
had been completed Mr.. Gonzales was
