GONE TO HIS ETERNAL REST

After long, lingering illness, r V.
J. G. Porter, so well known in Florida
as the editor o. the Baptist Witness,
died at his residence in this city Sat.
urday afternoon at one o'clock.
The deceased came to Florida about
twenty years ago seeking relief from
pulmonary troubles and was so great
ly benefited by the climate that he
entered upon active work both as a
preacher and as an editor.
He was a man of great viriIity, per-
severance and industry.
When he took possession of the
Baptist Witness it was having hard
struggle for existence. HesOon, how
ever, housed it in a beautiful three
story brick building ana equipped it
with the latest improved machinery,
including Mergenthaler type setting
machine, and under his intelligent
direction it quickly grew into prOmi-
hence and became the leading de-
nOminatiOnal paper of Florida.
Mr.. Porter gained as much dIstinc-
ton in the pulpit as he did as editor
of the Witness and his ministerial
labors covered almost the entire state.
During his residence in Florida he
was Frustrated at different periods ami
reached almost the very portals of
death aud his recOveries seemed
almost like miracles.
He WAS tenderly nursed by a most
devoted wife for whom now in her
great sorrow the Soul of this commu-
nifty goes out in sympathy and also
for the three daughters who share her
grief.

are difficult to so design as to be in

out skillful treatment suck entrances

just how to gain this mastery of the
channel and transport the army to
English soil was the rub. The raft
scheme that has been referred to was
possibly born in the minds of the in
ventive caricaturists rather than in
that of the first consul 1t seems to

ton every boat that could be pressed
into service, then drawing off the Eng

more or less mystery; likewise its

with its menace to France in case the
''grande armee" were withdrawn for
the purpose of overrunning England.
When Napoleon heard of this coalition
he doubtless concluded that he could
break it more effectively by attacking
the continental members of it than by
hazarding the crossing of the channel.
Then. after he had crushed Austria, he
could deal with England at his leisure.

feet. But at the crucial time, when he
intended to move his army. his admiral
failed him, and the plan had to be
abandoned.
1t was not the intention of the first
consul to risk a sea battle in the neigh
borhood of BoulOgne. He was far too
clever to stake everything on one throw
in any such manner. He would draw
Nelson and the English fleet away from
the channel by a feint with his own
ships and steal across the channel
when John Bull was not looking. But
the French admiral, to whom in his
disappointment and rage Bonaparte re-
ferred as that villain Villeneuve,"
made a miscue. steamed away to Lis
bon when he should have gone in some
other direction, and the proposed I'm
vasion" of England was at an end.
The resourcefulness and readiness of
the great French commander were
shown by the rapidity with which he
threw the Boulogne army over into
Austria to fight the magnificent cam
paign which eliminated in a blaze of
glory at AusterIitz. There are many
who profess to believe that he had this
end in view throughout and that the
move against England itself was but a
feint in order to arouse the patriotism
of the French and to enable the gath
ering together of a larger army than

gar, said that he welcomed the peace
OF Amiens as enthusiastically as any
one, but hurriedly added that he
would sooner burst than let ID
Frenchman know it" As an indica-
ton of the seriousness with which the
English regarded Napoleon's plans it
may be added that Nelson thought the
French might get as far as the Eng
lish shore.
One of the humorous features of the
times was a representation of Sir Wal
ter Scott. then at the height of his
fame, as patriotic yeoman newly
caught by the universal war fever.
While the great novelist did not break
out into explosives in the prevailing
fashion, he did the next thing to it, for
he set up a row of turnips on sticks
and, valiantly attacking them with
drawn saber, shouted: cut them down,
the villains! Cut them down." Con-
sidering all of which. it would appear
that it was just as well for the French
that the invasion" failed to invade.
Britain was filed with martial ardor
from pulpit, bench and college down to
country yokel. The whole nation be-

about with muskets, hoes or any other
weapons that could be brought into

There We're pleasantries passed in
1904, it is true. but they were of
rather savage nature, as will be seen
from the cartoons of the period, some
of which are here reproduced. The
fact that the righteousness had GER
tain ferocious quality is revealed by the
tendency of John Bull to say ID"
on any and all occasions. The humor
that man swears over contains
certain element of grimness to say the
least. It is true that there has been a
quality of wit in all ages calculated to
induce profane expressions on the part
of the reader or nearer. In the majority
of cases, however. this provocative to
the smothered .anathema lies in the
manner of the would be joker, while in
the case in point the incentive rests in
the situation itself. Not but that the
cartoons are atrocious enough to excite
almost anything short of assault-that
is, when measured by modern stand
ards-but picture wit was in its in
fancy then, and public taste had not
grown hypercritical through surfeiting.
Thus Mr.. Bulls tendency to the rather
free use of explosives cannot be traced
to the bad caricatures of which he was
the subject, but rather TO the fact that
his fighting blood war up.
Yet these very cartoons had much to
do with precipitating the war, for,

Whatever opinions may be held as to
the real intention of Bonaparte in ere
ating the BOulogne army and whatever
may be thought at this distance of the
practicability of his apparent plan, the
one seemed real enough and the other
practical enough at that time to stir
both England and France from center
to circumference. The British standing
army was already 10000 strong. the
militia 10000 and the reserve $4,000.
So electrical was the effect of the pro-
posed invasion that there was armed
and drilled a body of volunteers that
soon reached the enormous figure of
$4,000 in England and $4,000 in Ire
land. The navy was built up in pro-
pOrtiOnate degree, the number of men
being raised from $4,000 to 10000 and
a hundred vessels of the line, even a
larger number of frigates and hun
dreds of smaller vessels, being gather
ed together for coast protection. Will
liam Pitt appeared daily at the head of
5000 volunteers. In the country dis
