A Coming Event.

The annual fair and supper of St.
Marks church has been fixed for
December 5th. This annual event
has become so well established in
Palatka that its recurrence has come
to be looked forward to as leading
mid-winter affair of social import
ance. This year the ladies of the
church are more determined than
ever to make the fair success and
are already busy with preparations.
The object of the fair is to raise mon
ey to carry on the work of the church.
The amount of money necessary
to carry on the work of live church
organization such as St. Marks is
considerable and when it is taken in
to consideration that all support is
voluntary it makes the raising of
necessary funds all the more credit
able.
"Work" seems TO be the watch
word with the members of st. Marks
from the rector TO the rear pews, and
so long as all respond nobly to tie
demands of the parish, the results
will be truly great.
Don't forget TO save your money
for the coming fair Of st. Marks.

The News has had many enquiries
from orange growers as to when the
Maull orange box hoop would be
placed on the market. A visit to the
factory this week shows the machin-
cry is rapidly being placed, and Mr..
Maull says that he hopes to begin
manufacturing in about lc days. The
output of the mill has been sold to
the W. A Merryday company of
this city and all orders for the hoop
will need to be placed with that firm.
The hoop is going to prove win

than does Mr.. Maull. But it was
unavoidable.

THE OREGON LAND FRAUDS.
Attempt to Sustain Regularity of Plea
at Portland

In the United States district court at
Portland, Ore, yesterday. Senator Mitch
ell, through his attorney. Mr.. Bennett,
endeavored to sustain the regularity of
the proceedings relating to the introduc-
ton of his plea in abatement in connec-
ton with his Indictment in the land
fraud cases. Bennett commended for the
right to file the plea in abatement in the
federal court, and argued that if 1t raises
a question of fact the defendant is en-
titled ito a trial there by jury; that IL it
does not raise question of fact then the
issues must be decided by the courts
Judge Bellinger indicated by frequent
Interruptions that a plea in abatement is
merely a permit to challenge the grand
jury, where there has been no other OPP
portunity, and said the question becomes
of added Importance by reason of the fact
that the case could not be tried on its
merits IL the separate pleas in abatement
are to be given jury trial.
The argument proceeded upon the mer-
its Of the plea in abatement, Judge Bel
that for the purpose of argument the
affidavits of United States District Attor-
ney Henry and Juror Guiston need not be
considered as having been filed.
Before the arguments commenced to-
day Ira Wade. Indicted for completely in
land frauds with w. N. Jones and others,
pleaded not guilty to the conspiracy
charge, and DR.. w. H. Davis, mayor Of
Albany filed demurrer to the indict-
ment against him.

who was recognized to place in nomination
Mrs. Donald Mclean, regent of the New

Mrs. Kendall only got as far as the men,

with a burst of cheers, and she had to pause
while the president general raped for or
