Our gallant Reliance,
You flung defiance,
Your sails caught the breeze.
We love and adore thee.
They all bow before thee,
Queen Of the seas.
Bark with the white wings,
AS a bird with light wings,
Sail DER the deep;
While our men brave and free
Build and man ships like thee,
The cup Wen keep.
Safe from invaders hand,
STEADY and staunch well stand,
In calm defiance;
Nor give them a chance.
Lead them n pretty dance.
Like our Reliance.

ADDITION TO COLLEGE ARMS.
Lumber Now Being Cut Work to
Begin at Once.

Mr. Stetson has definitely decided
TO add to the College Arms this sum-
mer, and lumber is now being cut at
Cairns mill for this purpose. Work
will begin just as soon as the hotel
closes. The addition will consist OF
about 40 rooms with baths. The main
portion of the present structure will
be raised two stories, and large octa-
gon towers will set off the exterior
view. The bathrooms vii be located
In these towers, to a great extent.
To add two stories to this building Is
difficult matter. The new portion
will be built over the present roof,
and a new roof put on, after which
the present roof will be taken out.
The improvem ents also contemplate
change on the first floor. The
rooms on the west side will be taken
out and changed into one large music
room. There will be west porch
a promenade porch-2S feet wide, to
be surrounded by electric lights and
enclosed with sash. Underneath thi,
will be large children's play room,
for use principally in wet weather.
The laundry building will be raised
one story and several rooms added.
Besides the above, several baths
will be added to rooms already in the
house.
The plans for the additions were
drawn by Baiiinger & Parrot, the
Philadelphia architects who planned
the Stetson hat factory. The work
will be unde.' the direct control Ut Il
superinte ndent under these gentle
men. The work will be done by Mr..
]. T. Cairns and his carpenter crew.

THEY STRUCK OIL
New Smyrnaites Thought Their For.
tunes Were Made.

From the Breeze.
One day last week some one came
up from Hawks Park and reported
that the water flowing down south
canal was covered with oil; but as we
did not know what brand" the mai
had been drinking, we concluded that
1t made him see oil instead of snakes.
But when others came and told the
same story, one gentleman ventured
down alone. Finding that it really
was oil on the water, he gathered a
quantity of it and sent it off to be
analysed.
On Thursday this gentleman and
the editor went down to make thor
ough investigation, and going up the
canal half mile or more, found the
fountain head. A cabbage palmetto
log had fallen across the canal, and
here the oil had collected to depth
of several inches. About this time
two other prospectors joined the first
two gentlemen, and it was decided
that we had "struck ile."
A quart can full was secured and
brought to town with great care and
in few hours everybody had the oil
fever, and everybody, old and young,
wise and otherwise, we're going to
south canal to see the 'oil well," and
all brought back sample of the oil.
The oil was there, and in paying
quantities, but it was similar in color
and had the strong smell of the fuel
oil used by the F. E. c. Ry Co. 1t
soon leaked out-we know not how
that several gallons of this oil had
been spilled in the canal, and lodging
against the cabbage log mentioned
before, escaping little at a time, had
fed the stream fer several days.
Thus our brightest hopes we're
dashed to the ground, and by the re-
moval of the cabbage log the oil
passed into the river, and New Smyr-
mas first oil boom went down in his.

Care In Oh oosing Glasses.

A dealer In optical instruments de-
clared that It gave him real pain to
note the careless manner in which half
the persons in New York wear glasses.
ut is a wonder TO me-" he said, that
they don't bring on blindness In the
first place, the frames should always
be fitted to individual faces instead Of
being picked up Unfortunately with
out regard for facial peculiaritles. The
size Of the lenses Is another important
consideration. Most Of the glasses I
see on the street are too small. They
Should be as large as the face OF the
wcarer will permit. for lens Of good
size not only affords better protection
to the eye, but is more becoming than
a smaller one. Another tribulation Of
the weak eyed is due to the reflection
from the edges Of unframed glasses.
The eyelashes should be attended to In
order to get the best results from q
pair of spectacles Many lashes are
worn so long that they brush against
the glass. This is decidedly injurious

Students Beat the Faculty.

A game of baseball between the
Varsity and a team picked from the
members of the Faculty was played
yesterday, the score being 16 to IL
in favor OF the students The game
was exciting throughout, and up to
the eighth inning the Faculty team
was in the lead. The fact that the
professors we're not in training &C.
counts for their defeat and they feel
sure that with a few days practice
the Varsity team would not be in
their class.
The crowd was very much disap-
pointed because Prof. Carson had
employed a small boy to run for
him, and because Prof. Sharp could
not connect with the ball enough to
get a chance to run.
DR.. Baerecke was on hand with
an ambulance and corps of trained
nurses, all armed with hand-saws
and other surgical instruments.
Fortunately no one was injured, al
though several were nearly over

Stetson himself Is the chief promoter
of the scandal; that he has kept stir
ring it and continues to do so, his con.
tention 10 robbed of all its seeming
sincerity. John B. Stetson, and not
John F., Forbes, Is to blame for the
condition of things existing in regard
to the University. Three times the
trouble was adjusted. But Stetson
went back on the adjustment every
time and continued to use every
means possible to stir up all this muss
with view to forcing Forbes out.

Governor Jennings has come on,
fat footed in opposition to an ex
hibit to the st. Louis exposition.
The governor states that Florida is
not able to make an exhibit that
would compare favorably with that
Of California, by which half million
dollars or n ore will be spent, and
thinks no exhibit at all would be
better than poor one. The gov
ernor is right. Let US take the
100000 that we would have to
spend for any respectable exhibit
and put it into q general good roads
fund. This amount of money spent
in the sta 9, will do more good than
4 half million spent at st. Louis
II we build good roads. and keep
our lakes low as they are at present,
the state will build up fast enough.
We don't want boom; We want q
good, steady growth.
