AFTER THE FREEZE.

The effect OF the recent cold snap
in Alachua county, from careful inves-
tigation, shows no serious damage, and
with the mercury at IS degrees on
Wednesday, the coolest night, 3Ir.
J. r. Zetrouer had no fire in his
grove, and he sends The Sun the fol-
lowing, which will be Of interest to all
our readers:
"RocHELLE, FLA. , Feb. %, 1905.
editor Sun: I send you by Mrs.
Hill three fruit and four sprigs-two
spries Of the second to last and two
Of the last growth, on my grape fruit
trees, which l have just taken from
the tree today. You will readily see
that the fruit is more or less dam
aged, but my trees are all right, there
being few OF the smallest trees
little damaged in the top. In about
four acres of bearing grove the dam
age done by the late freeze will not
amount TO anything, and unless we are
smote on the other cheek. we will be
all right for a crop of fruit for this
year.
II have been in the orange business
for about thirty years, and while do
not claim to be an expert or know
ALL will add that the damage to fruit
standing on the trees during a freeze
is IN proportion to the size Of the grove,
tree and the amount of sap in the tree.
For instance, fruit on large tree will
stand one and a half to two degrees
more cold than one on a small tree /;
and fruit on tree with low sap will
stand three degrees more cold without
being damaged than with q full sap.
Fruit will not be Injured to any extent
at % degrees with full sap and 26 with
low sap in the tree, and grape fruit
will stand two degrees more cold than
the orange that is, the fruit.
"0f the fruit l send you, one was
resting on the ground, the other two
being about 10 inches above ground,
/ shipped a carload on Tuesday, Jan.
uary 3lst, which was housed before
the cold. Yours very truly,
-. +. ZETRoUER.
The fruit we received through the
courtesy Of Mrs. Hill was Of large size,
and one was said to be almost white
when picked, but had again assumed
better color One was healthy yell
low and beautiful specimen. The
sprigs from the trees were in very
healthy condition, and If there had
been any damage to the leaves u was
not apparent.
IRON all we can learn IL is safe to
say that fruit trees in Alachua county
are not injured to any great amount
by the freeze.

CARNEGIE 10 The RESCUE.

There have been a good many sensa-
tions growing ont Of the affairs OF the
Chadwick and not the least Of them
10y any means is that now created by
Mr.. Carnegie. The public is not in
formed as to the cause which has in
duced the millionaire to come TO the
financial rescue eff persons in Oberlin
who suffered through Mrs. Chadwick's
operations. Only the bald fact that
be has done so Is given out and so, for
the present, every one can think as he
pleases. Whether Mr.. Carnegie will go
still further and pay all Of the Cleve-
land woman's debtsis matter Of spec
ulation. The case would not be so re-
markable IL it were not for what has
gone before. Mr.. Carnegie announced
years ago that it was disgrace to die
poor Both before that announcement
and since he has given away q great
many millions in the way Of establish
ing public Libraries and such like, but
there is a suspicion that he has plenty
left. Perhaps he sees in the Chad
wick case a fine opportunity to still
further deplete his fortune. Mrs
Chadwick has proved that she is very
energetic distributor OF other peoples
money, and may be just the parsonage
that Carnegie needs to save him the
disgrace OF dying with money in his
clothes. He is getting old and his
efforts to get rid OF his surplus cash
have proved a severe strain. With Mrs.
Chadwick's valuable assistance all this
can be changed.
But his assistance will not relieve
the old banker at Obetlin, Ohio, who
was wrecked financially and is now a
broken.down man physically and
will never recover from the shock OF
his transactions with the magnetic
Chadwick woman,

THE cATALpA TREE.

It would seem that there is no end
to the vast possibilities in the way Of
resources Of Florida, and these re-
sources are daily being developed. We
look back for only a few years and
find that the vast pine forests Of the
State we're but a source OF expense to
the owner, and many OF the owners,
from the expenses and taxation Of
these lands, had been forced to aban-
don them. But conditions are now
radically reversed; now every avail
able body OF such lands either have
been or are being absorbed and detim-
bered, and there is no shutting out the
fact that in but few years we will
have but little pine timber left. When
this time arrives where will the fence
posts, the cross-ties, etc. come from?
Our answer TO this proposition is that
ia the propagation and cultivation OF
the catalpa tree we have the solu-
tion, Ii is a wei, known fact that the
catalpa Ia the hammock lands ia this
section grows TO perfection, and that
Tor fence posts, cross-ties, etc. there
is no better timber in the world, as It
practically lasts indefinitely, and, Il is
said, never tots. This tree can easily
be propagatci from the cuttings and
every Owner II land should plant 40
least enough 60 supply himself with
fence posts. This industry, from The
necessities OF the case. will prove to
De profitable beyond expectations, and
90 prove the extent Of ;ho profit, we
will, as an illustration, take one scre
aud from this show how the profit
comes These trees from The cutting
can be planted AKA feet which gives,
say 300 plants per acre. AZ the end
OF four years We have $500 trees
which viii average SO least Eve fence

here NOS less than ten cents each,
which renders tbe gross returns from

CARNEGIE TURNED
DOWN SUGGESTION
DR.. Hodges Suggested a COntri-
button for Public Hospital.
LIBRARIES KEEP HIM BUSY.

The Man Who Says us a Disgrace to
Die Rich Says He is Too Busy Max
ing Contributions and Building Mar
Bile Front Libraries.
The reporter learned Saturday that
DR.. ]. Harrison Hodges has had some
correspondence with Andrew Carnegie,
the great millionaire, in reference to
the building Of public hospital for
Alachua county. Some weeks ago DR..
Hodges wrote Mr.. Carnegie and ex-
planned the need Of public hospital
here and the efforts which were being
made to secure one, and the difficult
ties encountered in raising the neces-
sary funds, and mildly suggested that
a contribution would be thankfully re-
ceived.
Mr.. Carnegie, who says it is a dis
grace to die rich, writes that he is busy
giving away his money to build free
public libraries and connot give any
assistance to hospitals now. Dr.
Hodges received a letter from him to
this effect few days agoNn which he
said: MY field of free public Ii
braries proves more than wide enough
to absorb all the time and attention
l can give and 1 must restrict myself
to it,"
We do not presume to advise Mr..
Carnegie what to do with the millions
which he says he will give away be-
fore he dies, but it would seem that
some OF his many millions given to the
hospitals would do the people more
good than all the marble library build
ings he could erect. The relief of suf-
fering and affording the facilities Of
restoring sick and injured people 20
better health, would be an active
everyday act of charity. The cree
tion OF marble library buildings is a
display of wealth that does the actual
needy people of the land little good.
But it is Mr.. Carnegie's money, and il
he cannot see his way clear TO help
build our public hospital, we must
build it ourselves without his assis-
lance. Contributions for this pur-
pose may be given to b. P. Richards,
treasurer, at II. F. Dutton & Conn
pany's bank.

China always manages to rake in a
foil share Of trouble. Both Russia
and Japan seem eager to carry 'heir
war into Chinese territory, and Il they
do who is going to stop them? For
some time it has been known that the
Russian government has felt mat
China was either unable or unwilling
to preserve her neutrality and that
widening Of the war zone might bf-
come necessary. It is said from 3.
Petersburg that the agreement Of the
powers at Secretary Hays suggestion
TO limit the area Of hostilities was ac-
cepted by Russia in good faith, o1t
that since China is not able to make
good the strict letter Of the agree
ment, it may soon find blur on IT,.
OF course, this is not the diplomatic
language used, but it is sufficient for
its present purpose.

The preacher was innocent in it and
did not intend to cast a reflection on
the choir, when one day most OF the
singers had bad colds and their seats
we're empty he selected q hymn he
thought the entire congregation could
sing, and said "Since Providence has
seen fit to afllict the choir with bad
colds let Us all join in singing praise
God From Whom All Blessings Flow "
Most of the choir were so mad they
talked of resigning.

WALK MORE.

The Americans as a rule are not adj
dicted to much walking, says w. AL
ford Green In Outing for February
The reason may be found in the fact
that transportation facilities, by
means OF steam, elevated and surface
railroads, are so plentiful, that the
temptation to ride cannot be resisted.
There is the additional reason that the
American citizen must perforce do
everything in hurry, and, in keeping
with this idea, the business man rides
to and from his employment-where in
many cases he might walk with bene-
ft to himself in every wagon the
same principle that he takes his lun-
cheon at the rush counter. The fever
i6h haste in eating meals, coupled
with the disinclination to take even
moderate walking exercise, is undoubt-
eddy the cause OF the dyspepsia which
generally aiilicts the American people,
and which produces the pssty COM
plexion seen almost universally ia the
youth of today. How untayorably
these compilations compare with the
rosy cheeks Of the young men and wo-
men OF England, who have yet to learn
the dire results OF rapid.hre eating
and who have not yet given up the
walking habit
Florida is the State where walking
Is more beneficial to those who come
here for health than many suppose
and those who have taken the pains TO
inquire into the matter have learned
that those who come here in feeble
health and are unable to walk but a
short distance az first, by degrees be-
como strong enough to go on foot and
with but little fatigue, many times as
far as when they first attempted the
walking exercise.
There Is no better way to gain
strength than by walking increasing
the distance a little at a time, and the
exercise is practieed with good results
