The game of base ball between the

the afternoon Of the Fourth attract

went had the pleasure of q game
filled with interest. The clubs
were quite evenly matched and at
several points in the game one had a
lead over the other, only to be tied
or advanced by the work of subse-
quent inning. The game finally
resulted in victory for the home
club by score of 10 to8.

Shuts Out the Wine.

A reader of the News sends the
following query to the editor:
"In the event that the county goes
"dry" will the sale of domestic wines
also be prohibited ?"
Yes. The News submitted the
question to Hon. Il. p. Calhoun,
states attorney, who said: Article
10 of the constitution prohibits,
where counties go dry, the sale of
either spirituous, vinous, or malt
liquors. The sale is also prohibited
by statute and this includes all do
nestle wines, such rs orange, black
berry, scuppernong, or any of the
wines made in this county and which
have heretofore been sold without
the formality of taking out license.
The prohibition under Il dry county
will include every form of intoXicat-
ing liquors"

Successful Celebration

Crescent City took day off and
INDUCED III fitting celebration of the
Fourth of July. The day was inaug-
urated by the boys. They rang the
church bells at midnight and again
at e. m.-which means good morn
ing" The boom of small cannon and
giant crackers made sleep impossi-
BILE to citizens after the latter hour.
But the boys started in early in or
der to get long day. They enjoyed
it and there wasn't single accident
to record,
People from the neighbOring farm
ing sections began to arrive early
in the day and by noon pretty nearly
every one was here. The steamer
Harry Lee from PaIatka arrived at
noon bringing the Federal Point
base ball club and boat load of Wis
itors.
The v I. A. Hall was the center
of festivities. There was orchestra
music and dancing, At noon picnic
parties were everywhere under the
trees, in family and friendly groups,
eating dinner. The ladies of the V.
[. A. sold hot coffee, sandwiches, ice
cream, lemonade, and the demand
was so great that the big supply was
exhausted by four O'Clock in the af-
ternoon.
Hon. Robt. w. Davis addressed a
large audience at the Auditorium at
2 p. NJ. The meeting was presided
over by DR.. G. f. Sprague, mayor
and member of the legislature. Rev.
L. r. Lynn, pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church, Palatka, opened with
prayer, and Mrs. Wallace Harp with
fine dramatic effect recited two hum
orous selections.
Mr.. Davis speech was a gem. He
didn't spend much time at Bunker
Hill and Yorktown, but he did tell
the people somewhat of the grand
ness of their privileges in being
born American citizens, He also, in
an optomistic manner, pictured
some of the apparent perils of the
people, and warned them against the
tendency of governments to engage
in business enterprises that properly
belong to individual effort. Mr..
Davis spoke nearly an hour and held
the rapt attention of his audience.
When he sat down his speech pro-
voked storms of approving applause.
Then there was base ball game,
u horse race and at night a splendid
dancing party at V. 1. A. hall.
The celebration was under the aus
pices of the ladies of the V. |, A.
The day was hot, but otherwise per-
feet.

thing like $50, from the sale of
cream, coffee, etc

A Somnambulistic Accident.

Grosvernor Gautier, the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Gautier OF
this place, has received painful and
perhaps serious injuries from u leap
made while walking in his sleep at
10 80 Sunday night. This young
man, who is l6 years old, has long
been a somnambulist, and on several
former occasions he has had narrow
escapes from injury. This time he
was not so fortunate.
The Gautier's recently moved to
the fiat over Chamberlin store and
it was from one of the east windows
of this flat that young Guutier leap
ed on Sunday night. The distance
to the board walk from the window
is about 16 feet The boy does not
remember that he was dreaming; in
fact be knew nothing of what was
passing in his unconscious think
tank until he struck the ground.
Mrs. Gautier says he retired short
ly after nine O'Clock and went sound
asleep. Just before his leap she
heard him jump from the bed
Knowing his somnambulistic habits
she ran to him only to see him dive
through the window-as if he was
in swimming and making "a dive.
The young man was terribly injur-
ed by the fall and rendered helpless.
Help was summoned and he was
carried up stairs. Drs. Sprague and
Warren say no bones are broken so
far as they can discover, but there
may be internal injuries. The young
man is helpless, not being able to
move. His principal injury is in the
hips. The external bruises do not
appear to be much.
Mrs. Gautier was alone in the
house with her son when the acct
dent happened.

FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
Discovered by Accident and BOu6ES
For a Mere SONG

Discovered by Accident and BOugEe
For "a Mere Song.
The strange vicissItudes through
which some Of the most highly priced
and valuable pictures now preserved
in public and private galleries have
passed provides romantic reading.
Take, for instance, the case of a sea-
scape by Turner.
A Captain Treharne was spending a
holiday In yarmouth. CHANGING one
day to be turning over the thousand
and one articles In an old curiosity
shop, he came across dirty, ragged
painting depicting sea scene. 1t was
painted on an oak panel, was not
framed and was In terribly dtsrepu-
table condition. Prompted to buy the
derelict, the captain secured possess
sion of 1t for 80. The purchaser took 1t
home with him, the painting was clean
ed and the vArnish removed. Scrutiny
then revealed the famous initials Of
Turner-"J. NJ. ". Y"-and its author
ity was substantlated when submitted
to an expert, who estimated its value
at $500.
More remarkable still was the his
tory surrounding RaphaePs Three
Graces" While rummaglng among n
collection of old furniture in Italy n
French art lover named Henri Raboul
happened upon it, He acquired the
painting for a few francs. On his re-
turn to France NJ. Raboul offered 1t to
the Louvre for modest $500, but the
great Partisan art gallery refused to
buy it. The owner finally disposed Of
it to an Englishman for $3.50. In a few
years the painting passed through q
number of hands Finally it was pur-
chased by the Due d'Aumale for $125,-
900.
More remarkable was the purchase

OUR OLDEST DOLL.
1t Was Brought From England Over
Two Centuries Ago.

1t Was Brought From England Over
Two Centuries Ago.
Long, long ago, when William Penn
sailed from England on his second
visit to America, what do you think
he brought with him on the good ship
Canterbury An English doll. This
passenger Is the sole survivor of that
voyage across the Atlantic, which was
made over 400 years ago.
William Penn had little daughter
named Letitia. Letitia heard her fa-
Their tell wonderful tales of what he
saw and heard In Pennsylvania on his
FIRST visit to this country, thousands Of
miles distant from Letitia's home. He
often told her about little Miss Ran
kin, who, Lying as she did In the will
dcrness of Pennsylvania flor this was
long ago, remember), had no toys at
all, not even one rag doll. When Lett
tins father was getting ready to again
cross the ocean to America his little
girl Insisted upon sending doll to that
lonesome little girl.
SO doll was dressed In court cos
tune of striped and dellcately tinted
brocade and velvet The skirt was
held out by enormous hoops, for such
was the fashion of the well dressed Ia
dies of that period. The dOll itself Is
twenty inches high and has the long
waist and slender form of the court
beauties she left in her native land,
Her hair Is rolled back from her face,
much In the style of today.
This doll now lives in Montgomery
county, Maryland, In the strictest Sc
clusion. She Is only removed from her
careful wrappings when little girls de
sire the honor of making the acquaint-
ance of the oldest doll in America

the fact that Boehme was a cobbler
