NEW YORK. Dec. % Shrouded in
fog and pounded by hea seas the
British tramp steamer Drumezier still
rolls on the Fire island bar with her
keel stuck fast In the sand. So high is
the surf that the members Of the two
life saving crews at Fire island We're
unable to make any attempts to launch
d lifeboat and We're compelled simply
to sit on the beach and watch the big
vessel containing its crew of thirty-two
men, grim, gray hulk tortured 10y the
seas. Her condition is rapidly growing
worse.
The Drumezier lies three quarters Of
mile off the point of the beach. Her
stern is well up on the south side of the
bar and she is heading toward the
southeast The spray is breaking clean
over her
The Mcrritt-C hapman tug ANA the
revenue cutter Mohawk are in the vi
cinity. but are unable TO approach close

II looks rs if the chances of getting
the big vessel off the bar are exceed
mgly slim. and the life savers believe
that the captain and crew of the i'll
fated vessel are in Il very precariouS po-
sition How much longer the big ship
can stand the pounding is a question.

LONDON. Dee. 29.-While numerous
semiofficial statements have been pub
lished here that Ambassador Choate is
about to retire from diplomatic life, IL
can be stated that Mr.. Choate has not
sent his resignation or any communi-
cation on the subject to President
Roosevelt or the state department. nor
has he received any inquiry either from
the president or Secretary Hay concern
ing his future plans. 1t can be safely
asserted, however that it is Mr.
Choate's intention TO tender his resig
nation soon after the Inauguration Of
President Roosevelt.

LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Experiences Of Myron J. Harrington In the
Land of Sunshine.

DeLand, Fla
Dec. "A 1904.
& Editor Banner:-Since in the
"Sunny South" wehave received many
letters of inquiry, as to how we liked
Florida, orange culture, business
prospects etc. Believing that the many
readers of tho Banner and Reformer
would be interested in a letter from
the south, will endeavor to write of
conditions as we find them.
We sailed from New York Nov IS
'04 by Clyde line steamship "Arapa-
hoe" The ''Arapahoe" was built Ia
1901 is $50 it long and said to be the
largest and finest steamer now plying
on South Atlantic coast, the service is
the best Steamers of this line cali at
Charleston, S. c., and passengers
have an opportunity to spend half
day about Charleston.
After most enjoyable sea voyage
of three days, we arrived at Jackson
vile and take passage on st Johns
River steamer Fred k De Barry by
which we steam 200 miles south up st
Johns river in the heart of tropical
Florida. The river trip is something
to see, along the banks of the river
are Palmetto, Fine Oaks, tropical
plants and growth all covered with
hanging moss, interpersed by orange
groves, this scene 10y moonlight is
weird indeed Wild hyacinth is much
in evidence and furnishes forage for
cattle, many COWS o be seen feeding
on it, as we steam by, standing in wa.
ter with only back and head IN sight.
We finally land Beresford where
we take carriage to DeLaud, four
mile drive through orange groves, now
loaded down with fruit. "DeLand. the
Athens of Florida" the county seat #
Vo usia county, is a lively little city,
possessing all of the comforts of "a
city many times its size. Normal
population 5000, winter t, 500 It's wide
well kept, hard, she'll paved streets are
shaded by hundreds of evergreen water
oaks.
The town is located on high, dry roll
ling pine land, four miles from st
Johns river, % miles from Daytoua,
and east coast, free from moss and
dampness. Many wealthy northern
men have here built their winter
homes. DeLan6 has fine brick court
house, scores OF fine brick business
houses, whose occupants are doing
thriving business, four newspapers,
: white churches, ice plant, fine pure
artesian we'll water and no saloons.
The excellent high school and fam
Gus Stetson University afford unsur
passed educational advantages, its
large brick buildings representing an
outlay of $500, 1000. Thermometer has
ranged from Is degrees to IS degrees
in morning to - and 50 degrees at
midday, most of December. Red white
and yellow roses now in bloom.
Do you like it? Did we hear you
say, for answer, how would you like to
go out in the gard n aud pick lettuce.
and pull radisheS, We can, can you?
More anon.

WHY HE PUSHES IT.
MT. F. G. Fowler Recommends and Pushes Mi-O-na, the Dyspepsia
 Remedy.

'It's a pleasure to sell a medicine when my customers come in afterwagds and tell me how much good it has done them said MT. Fowler. the popular druggist. to an Advertiser man, 'and that is why like to sell and recom- mend Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia. remedy.
 T have so much faith in this article that I am going to guarantee it in the future. and will return the money to any purchaser of Mi-o-n nd whom 1t does not cure. That may seem rash. but my customers have, said so many good words in its favor that do not expect to have many packages returned.
 Any one who has dyspepsia, whose food does~not digest welk who has to take thought as to what he can eat, and when, can leave 50 cents deposit at my store and take home a box of Mi-o-na and if the remedy does not regulate his digestion and cure his dys- pepsia, he can withdraw his money on returning the empty box.
 This shows great faith in the merit of Mi-o-na. It is really a most unusual medicine and the rapid increase in sales since Mir Fowler introduced it in Mont gomery shows that it does all that ft claims to do-eures dyspepsia, .regu- lates digestion and enables those who use it to Neat just what they want and when they want with no fear of trouble.
