Startling RumOrs,

New York, June 6.-There were
minors in Wall street this morning that
a sensational foreign event had occurred
but the gossips could not say definitely
what it was. Some said the Gar was
assassinated and others that it was
Kaiser Wilhelm who was killed.
Broker wires spread the news to other
cities and many messages ofinquiry were
sent here. At 1890 this morning no
confirmation of the startling rumors had
come from London or the continent. 1t
develops that the rumor chat the Gar
had been assassinated was current on
the BOurse in Berlin this morning, and
was cabled to this city. The Berlin
Bourse rumOr had it that the Mendtl-
sOhns, bankers of the Russian govern
ment, had received private telegram to
that effect AT the Offices of the Rus
sian consul here it was stated that there
was no intelligence of such a tragedy.

A MOVEMENT has been started by
Rev. A. w. Mcconnell, pastor of a
Presbyterian Church in Des Moines,
Iowa, toward inducing people to attend
church in plain clothing. He is fully
persuaded that the dress issue is the
great barrier between the leading
churches and poorer class. The latter,
it is believed, purposely absent them
seyes from places of worship simply be-
cause their wearing apparel does not
compare favOrably with their more opu-
lent spiritual brothers and sisters.

ten warships to the coast of Yemen, Ara

on this subject when you write TO

II is interesting to note the growth
of n reform movement. a few years
ago some of the newspapers or the
.cOuntry-mOStly the weeklles- began
advocating the extension of the pow
ers of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in order that railroad rates
on interstate shipments might he re-
gulated. Gradually the movement
gained recruits. a politician mere ana
there embodying it in his platform
until now it is one of our leading
public issues and has as its most
forceful champion the president OF
the United States. The presidents $
attitude on the question gives rise to
the belief that the necessary legisla-
tion will be enacted at the coming
session of congress. and the people
of the whole country are looking to
the national lawmakers with hope
and confidence that they will speedily
extend the usefulness of the commits
sion.
There is hardly section or the
country that is not directly interested
Union is more interested than Florida.
and no locality in Florida more than
the strawberry producing section OF
Bradford county. The expansion OF
this industry has been dwarfed for
years by the unreasonable rates charg-
ed for transportation to the markets.
When we say unreasonable rates we
speak advisedly. for it came out in a
recent investigation that the Armour
Refrigerator Car Co. transports straw
berries from North Carolina to New
York for 81 cents per buShel. while
from Starke and Lawtey the rate is
S2J6 This tremendous difference
in rates shows that the carriers are
charging the Florida growers an enOr-
mously eXOrbitant rate. the immedl-
ate effect of which is to so increase
the cost of his product that the mark
ct for it is necessarily limited to the
class of people who are able to pay
fancy prices. Thus it is that the in
duStry has never been able to reach
its fullest development and the pro
gress of whole community has there
bv been impeded.
With a rate even treble that of the
North Carolina rate Strawberries
would very soon be shipped from
Starke and Lawtey by trainlOad. and
the market would he so greatly en-
larged by the reduction in cost that
every quart of them would find
ready sale. 1t will he seen. therefore.
that the settlement of this great pub

and it is pleasing to know that our
senators and representatives i'm CON
gress will support the railroad rate
legislation.
