Cinnamon is SC extraordinarily sen

with regard tots surroundings on

aroma if packed among bales Of coars-

tried to remedy this The Portuguese

A PINCH OF SAL
As Necessary In Our Daily Life as
In Our Daily Food.


How could we get on without salt:
In our daily food, us in our daily life. q
little Of it is necessary. and the absence
Of it takes away from the flavor Of ev-
erythiny we eat. The salt Of life"
Which we hear about signifies the
health, vigor and wit which we find in
life. There was a time in countries far
from the sea when primitive man new
er used salt in his food. and it was
only when nations advanced in clvill-
cation that salt became an absolute ne'
cessity.
Rut it was not alone as food that salt
was valued. Among the ancients salt
spring was regarded as 4 gift OF the
Gods. and it was believed that any salt
found in the soil lent it peculiar sane
tity and made it place where prayers
were most readily heard. Every meal
that included salt had a certain sacred
character, creating bond Of plety ana
friendship between host and guest:
hence the expression. There is salt
between u.s." meaning friendship. and
to be untrue to SALT means to be dis
loyal or ungrateful.
In the middle ages, when all classes
and degrees sat at the same board.
they were placed according to rank.
above or below the great saltcellar.
which always stood in the middle and
marked the dividing social line. Above
the salt'' meant "of high degree" Be
low the salt were the yeomalTy. serfs
and vassals Of the feudai days. good
description Of this custom may be
found in "Ivanhoe" where Cedric, the
Saxon. entertains his vassals anG
friends.
A pinch Of salt is always considered
lucky in cooking. To take anything
with pinch Of salt'' means to excuse
or make allowances for it. a salt is
a sailor. To salt ones conversation
means to make it sparkle. Salt is al
ways employed in sense of benefit or
strength.
The Bible has many references to
salt. among them being "Ye are the
salt Of the earth,' Matthew ', 13. and
st. Paul says. LET your speech be al
ways with grace seasoned with salt"
Salt is used by Catholics in baptism.
They consider it symbol Of wisdom
and put few grains in the mouth Of
the person baptized.

SUBMARINE BOAT EFFECTIVE.
A Conclusive Test Made With the
Adder at Newport.

A pretty exhibition Of mimic war
fare, important as illustrating the ef-
fectiveness of the navy'S submarine
craft, was given at Norfolk, Va,
Tuesday off Brenton's reef lightship,
when the submarine torpedo boat Ad-
der succeeded in tropeding the tor
pedo boat Craven.
So stealthily did the Adder creep
up on the Craven that the wooden tor
pedo successfully fired struck the Cra-
ven a smart blow below the water
line amidship before the crew on the
floating warships could Nan the guns
or the torpedo tubes.
The Craven left the torpedo station
during the forenoon and running down
the harbor, cruised about Brenton's
reef lightship awaiting the attack.
The Adder, instead Of following i'm
mediately, waited an hour in order to
get the crew of the Craven of their
guard. AS soon as Fort Adams was
cleared, the submarine boat plunged
beneath the surface and remained for
rs minutes, during which time officers
and men enjoyed lunch without in-
convenience. On getting outside the
harbor, the Adder was once more sent
to the surface, but only her coming
tower was exposed. The Craven was
sighted a short distance outside the
lightship riding unconcernedly on an
easy swell. The Adder again plunged
and when within 800 yards Of the
Craven, q wooden torpedo in the
shape and size Of a regular projectile,
was fired. The shot was good one
and the torpedo struck the Craven
amidships with considerable percepti-
BILE jar to The boat.

SHOCKED CHILD TO LIFE.
Physicians Use Electricity on New
born Infant.

A correspondent Of the New York
Herald at Essex, Ont, says; Drs.
James Brien and w. c. Doyle, pnysi-
clans in this town, were called last
W .eS to attend Mrs. Frank Wagner
q confinement. When the child was
born it was OF usual size and gave no
81 rms Of life.
The physicians worked more than
an our al /. Vain attempt to bring TO
life the child by inVerJing and spank
ing, hot md cold water baths, lntlat-
ing the lungs with a tube, artificial
respiration, and every other means
known, and they finally decided to use
electricity.
The house where the baby was born
is three blocks from the physicians
office. The doctors wrapped the child
up in blanket and carried it to the
Office, where no time was loS5 10 al
;ernately applying the Faradie current
and the galvanic current. Inc mega
tive pole was placed at the base OF the
brain and the positive pole to the ao-
domen. The physicians administered
current OF l20 milliamperes to tue
body, and in fifteen minutes after COM
mencing the treatment the child gave
short gasp. This encouraged the
physicians, who increased the power
Of the electric current to 200 millian-
peres, the positive pole being changed
TO the base Of the brain and the mega
tive pole to the abdomen. Every mo-
ment the little one showed increasing
signs OF life, and within ten minutes
it wa sbreathiDg naturally.
Tue doctors then decided to give the
child an electrical spray bath. This
was done with a static machine, aud
when it was completed the 20 oungster
was to all intenJs as healthy as any
other child less than two hours old.
When the physicians were assured
that the improvement was likely to be
permanent, they hurried back to the
mother and presented her with the
pink and white morSel OF humanity,
and that she was overjoyed goes with
out saving.

ONE MORE SAVED.

A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, says
steamer Roxby, Capt. Shields, which
arrived here Thursday morning FROM
Port Inglis, has on board Domingo
Ballo Reyarberay, the sole survivor OF
the crew of % men on the British
steamer Mixicano, which foundered
with all on board off the South Caro-
lima coast Tuesday night. Reyar-
oeray caught piece OF wreckage and
managed to keep up until he was seen
Wednesday morning by the Roxoy
and rescued.
The Spaniard, through an interpre-
ter, told of the Mexicano's sinking.
The steamer was bound from Tampico
for Vera Cruz with cargo OF petro.
leum in bulk when the full force OF
the hurricane broke upon her. Mcun-
famous seas broke constantly over the
ship and finally one gigantic wave
crashed through her decks. The ire
room was flooded and the Mexicano be-
came helpless. For a few moments
she swallowed in the trough Of the
seas and then plunged to the bottom.
The rescued man says hundreds of
gallons of oil were poured over the
ships side in an attempt to calm the
sea, and if possiable, save the ship.
When the Mexicano went down her
crew went with her. All boats
had long since been crushed by
the force of the waves and the
men were powerless to save them
selves. Revarberay went under the
vessel and by the merest chance be-
came entangled in some loose rigging
and spars. The buoyancy of these
brought him TO the surface and he
made himself fast to large spar. Fer
seven hours he hoated in the turbul-
ent sea until finally the Roxby hove
in sight. His rescue was daring
one. The Mexicano sailed from Tam
pico Monday. She was last reported as
being bound from Marcus Hook to
Mexico, Aug. 49, Her captain was r.
S. King. Ballo Reyarberay is unable
to give accurante names Of the Fl
men lost.
The Mexicano, Capt. King, sailed
from Marcus Book, Aug. Ii, for Vera
Cruz. The Mexicano was built at
Sunderland in 1893. She was 2IO
feet long, % feet beam, p l-2 feet
deep and registered l,254 tons net.
She was owned bv the Northern
Transport company, limited Of New

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Calmly Viewed by the Colored Ma
tional Baptist Convention.

At the Colored National Baptist
Convention held in Philadelphia last
week Booker Washington and Rev.
Dean Richmond Babbith, of New
York, gave the colored people of the
country some good advice.
Booker Washington addressed him
self to the church delegates and in the
course of his speech said: In large
degree the negro minister, during the
last 20 or 80 years, has been the pre-
server Of peace and harmony between
the races; but for the forebearance
and patience and the gentle tact OF
the negro minister many race riots
would have occurred in our country.
In a peculiar sense you will find
more and more that it will become the
duty Of the negro minister to take the
unpopular side Of many public ques-
tions. What we need in an increas
ing degree is that kind of leadership
in the pulpit that is willing to staLd
adverse criticism, to be misunderstood
and even abused, for the sake Of the
right. Our people don't need Hattery
so much as they need facts.
You will ind one Of the problems
that is going to press more seriously
on you for solution in the near future
than in the past, is the one OF employ
ment for our people, and especially in
northern cities.
1--WE can only hold our own in the
world Of labor and industry by teach
ing our people to do thing as well
as anybody else, by teaching them to
perform common labor in al uncor-
mon manner.
/ ''We cannot hold our own in the Ia
Dor world unless we are constantly
taking advantage ofevery opportunity
to improve ourselves"
In bis further remarks, Booker
Washington said: Bishop Chandler
OF Georgia, struck, in my opinion, the
heart af the race question a few days
ago, when he said that each race
should try to correct the evils among
it's own people. and that the white
race should cease abusing the negro
at long range, and that the negro at
the same time should cease his Cross
fire at the white man. 1t will be to
our interest in every manly, straight
forward manner to cultivate the
friendship Of the people among whom
we live;
Rev. DR.. Babbitt delivered lecture
on THE Negro and the Nation" He
contended that the real negro queS-
tion before America is to give the ne
gro the highest possible development
of American manhood. He said that
voluntary, economic, industrial, per-
suasive tranSplantation from the con-
gested and illiterate black bets Of the
south to the regions Of the north and
west should be Immediately attempted
and slowly. Systematically carried on.

ferent and better industrial and
educational conditions Of the north.
The north ought not to object, for
this, he said, is truly national PROB
lem and not a sectional one.

WOELERs Is INELIGIBLE.
Was Ineligible Because Of Violation
of Dispensary Law Sustained.

Oh .OlSpCASSAAS @$~''
Attorney General Gunter rendered
a decision in the case Of w. c. Woh-
lers, a beer dispenser Of Charleston.
declaring him Ineligible for the office.
It will be remembered that Wohlers
was elected by the county board as
beer dispenser, but that the point was
raised that he was Ineligible because
he had been convicted OF violation t
tn. d!spensary law, which under the
law bars an applicant for dispensary
office. The conclusion, after revle"
of the section Of that code, is that
Wohlers is clearly ineligible, but ex-
tenuating circumstances were offered
to show that his violation OF the law
was purely technical and without
knowledge or his part, but the board,
according to the decision, cannot 60
behind the record. The point was
raised that the general assembly IN
requiring such an oath went beyond
it's authority in attempting to make
an additional disqualifying crime for
the exercise Of the franchise and hold
ing office to those already specified in
the constitution This point, how
ever, was based upon miSconception
Of what constituted a county dlspen-
ser. The law says that the position
is one of confidence and trust and not
of right and county boards must be
guided by certain standards OF appll-
cants not anticipated by the general
assembly. The general assembly, the
opinion continues, did not transcend
it's power in saying that a keeper OF a
dispensary should be sober, an nelector,
not a keeper of place OF public
amusement and never guilty OF viola
tion OF the dispensary law. There are
rules to eStab ablish htneSS for office.

One Of the survivors, August OSter-

shot themselves. The Mexicano was
a tank steamer and carried crew OF
twenty-five men besides Capt. King.
Some Of them were probably picked
up by the other steamer. The sur

Blue and GRAY Picnic.

The annual picnic Of the Veteran
Association Blue and Gray will be
held next Tuesday, May 18th, at De-
Leon Springs.
The picnic party will go by train
from the union depot at 1880 a. m.
and will reach the springs shortly af-
ter 8 o'clock. Train will stop at way
stations and pick up passengers.
The fare for the round trip from
Palatka will be 70 cents for adults
and 40 cents for children under II
years. Proportionately low rates will
be made from stations along the route.
Returning the train will leave De-
Leon Springs at 4:30 and will arrive
al Palatka at 6:l5 p. m.
The Palatka Citizens band will &C
company the excursion.
DeLeon Springs is one of the beau
ty spots of Florida. There are beau
tiful cleared fields and wide spreading
oak trees. The water in the spring
is said to be pure enough to battle in
some have been known to drink it
and ask for more Ma tier of fact, no
better picnic ground could have been
selected. It's an ideal spot.
A game of base ball will be played
at the picnic between the DeLand
and Palatka clubs. These contest
ants may even go so far as to mob
the umpire. Hard to tell just what
pleasant surprises may be in store
for picnicers.
But there will be a large crowd of
veterans. Old fellows who 40 years
ago were marching respectively UNI
der the stars and strips, and the stars
and bars, and who for four long years
did some real fighting, participating
in battles which make modern war
fare look like counterfeit 80 cents
in comparison. These old boys who
will picnic together next Tuesday
were arrayed against each other then
now they are chums, members of a
common association. Pretty picture
isn't it?
At the grounds these old veterans
will get together in an experience
meeting. There will be some good
speeches, among them one from Com
rade r. w. Davis.
Let every veteran go and take his
veteraness. If he hasn't one let him
grab some one else. Let every son
of veteran take some daughter of q
veteran.
Fill the train with veterans, veter'
anesses, sons of veterans, daughters
of veterans. Then if there is room
put the guns aboard, then us sons Of
guns. Everybody go. Make the
Blue and Gray picnic of 1903 a CRANE
rally.

May-Day Social at Mrs. Har-
groves.


When it was announced at the last
regular meeting of the club, on April
24th, that the last social of the club
year would be held at Mrs. w. c.
HargrOve's, general satisfaction was
expressed and all anticipated de-
lightful afternoon.
These anticipations were fully real
lied, when, after an enjoyable ride
on the special car provided for them,
the members of the club arrived at
this hospitable home.
They were met by the hostess, who
Immediately escorted them to a
shady grove, where under "gnarled
oaks olden" and in full view of the
river, thoughtful preparations had
been made for their comfort and
pleasure. Rustic benches and easy
chairs encouraged cozy tete-a-tetes
hammocks spread their ample arms
invitingly, while see-saws and swings
were provided for those who like the
"strenOus life"
After an hours enjoyment of these
pleasures, the meeting was called tC

Adams, who after few graceful re-
marks about the appropriateness OF
time, place and occasion, spoke for q
moment or two on the bay View
Course
Next came the reading of the min,
utes of the last meeting and the call
ing of the roll. The latter was re-
sponded to by about thirty members
many giving suitable quotations.
The popular president was then
crowned Queen o. the May" and
all repaired to the May-pole, where a
number of the guests joined in the
pleasant task of twining its bare
length in the club colors of green and
white. This was done to the accom-.
paniment OF strains of inspiring mu'
sic, and was 80 pleasing to all that
the ladies unwOund the ribbons and
repeated the dance. After which ii
was voted that the May-pole be taken
undisturbed to the club rooms to be
kept as a reminder of this occasion.
Then the guests were seated and
delicious refreshments served. AT
the conclusion of this part of the pro-
gram the tinkle of the car bell was
heard, and bidding their charming
hostess adieu, the guests returned
home, after spending one Of the most
enjoyable afternoons In the history
of the club. PRESS REPORTER.
