PROGRESS OF DREDGING
WORK IN BISCAYNE BAY

Miami. March Rapid progress is
being made by the dredges that are
cutting the deep water channel from
the terminal docks to the ocean. The
Florida East Coast Ddedge is working
in the channel in the bay. Two sets
of hands are employed, so that the
machinery is run both night and day.
At this writing the dredge Is en-
countering the most difficult work;
since operations were commenced, yet
rapid progress is being made. The p.
Stamford Ross Company has one large
suction dredge at work in the cut

progress Is being made. Following

BY Associated Press.

New York, March "a practical
shutdown of six big hat factories in
Orange, N. J., has grown out of a dis
pute with a few women employed as
trimmers. The latter have been idle
for two days, but the men in the diff
ferent departments were at work fin,

feat and to-day 5000 or 1000 men and
women will be idle.
The question at issue is the date

WANT SAILORS TO SLEEP
ON THEIR OWN VESSELS.

The Savannah News of yesterday
says;
A number of important measures
were brought before the board of di-
rectors fthe Board of Trade at their
March meeting yesterday.
OF chief interest was the decision
to recommend that the city be asked
to rescind the ordinance that makes
it obligatory on crews Of vessels in
the harbor during certain summer
months to sleep ashore.
The added expense of operation to
owners and agents, and the conse-
quent tendency on the part of the
owners to seek other ports because of
this fact, are the reasons that have
been urged against a continuance of
this ordinance. The Board of Trade
will notify the other trade bodies of
the city of their views on this matter
and ask cooperation in the effort to
have the ordinance repealed.
In the same line, and of NDssihly
even more Importance to the trade
interest Of Savannah, was the deci-
sion to appoint a special committee
20 confer with the steamship compa-
MES relative TO a reduction by them of
the present warfage charges. The
claim is that the companies are doing
a wharfage business as we'll as trans
pOrtation business, and that their
charges for wharfage are so high as
to have become Onerous to business
interests. The committee appointed
to discuss this matter with the lines
consists of Messrs. Harvey Granger,
James Earle, Jr., G. F. Tennille and
James NJ. Dixon.
To welcome the members of the
Railroad Commission and 10 escort
them to the Board of Trade on their
arrival in this city March 10 a COM
mittee was appointed consisting of
President John r. Young, Vice Presi-
dent J. j. Cummings and Mr.. J. p.
Williams. The commissioners will be
met at the De Soto and are expecte ed
TO pay a visit TO tAe Board of Trade
at about the time Of the opening of
the naval stores market, II o'clock.
Later they will visit the other trade
bodies.
A letter was read from the Ameri-
can Business League, asking the
Board of Trade 10 take action in favor

self how it is to fall before so many
people. Very little the performer cares
for all the vast multitude. His mind
is on the superintendent, his particular
superintendent, who is watching him
! at the side of the arena, and who. when
he goes off, is sure to ask very pointed
" how his eye happened to be mac

no place in the circus for performers
who fail.
Even the clowns look little bit seri-
Gus behind the scenes. But perhaps
that is only because the black lines
they paint on their whitened visages
are always so glum and solemn. And
what a wilderness Of fun making peo-
pie there are in the latter day circus

the Grimacer, the Merry Andrew, the
Austrian LOBBY, the Zany, the Pierrot,

the German Broad Face. whose name
is Paddy Burke. One of the clowns
was sitting on his trunk in the dress
ing room licking stick OF black paint
and rubbing it on his cheeks so as to
make most funereal expression. The
small boy asked him what kind of
clown he was. He said that be was
just Funny Friskey," and he got his
visiting card out of his trunk. 1t read,
n. Friskey, Clown and Comedian"
and it had a heavy gold rim, which
made it very imposing. In the four
corners it said Europe and Asia and
Africa and America, which showed
that H. Friskey's fame had reached
the four corners of the card. Until you
saw his merry capers in the ring you
never could believe that a man with
such a serious face and such an i'm
posing visiting card could be either
funny or frisky.-Metropolitan Maya

COLONIES FOR
WEST FLORIDA
ARRANGEMENTS BEING MADE TO
LOCATE SET LERS IN THIS
SECTION OF STATE.

ARRANGEMENTS are now being made
for the establishment of number OF
colonies along the line of the Georgia
Florida & Alabama railroad, several
of the colonies to be located in south
west Georgia and several in northwest
Florida.
Judge E. NJ. Blalock, of Jonesboro,
Ga, and Colonel W. NJ. Legg, of Balm
bridge. Ga, general manager of the
Georgia, Florida & Alabama, were in
the city yesterday consulting with
Mr.. ]. P. Williams, the president OF
the road, in regard to the plans" says
the Savannah News of yesterday.
1T was announced, after the con-
ference, that several of the colonies
would be established just as soon as
possible. Within a year these officials
expect to have prosperous colonies in
both Georgia and Florida along the
Georgia, Florida & Alabama.
To Raise Tobacco and Truck.
1.-The plan is to establish colonies
for the raising of tobacco and for
truck farming, the country through
which the road runs being admirably
adapted for both these purposes. Ell
forts will be made to get people from
Ohio andl neighboring states, and also
Virginia and North Carolina, TO set
tie along the line Special induce
ments will be offered.
Colonies are to be established IN
Decatur, Early, Randolph. Miller and
Calhoun counties, in Georgia, and
Gadsden. Leon and Franklin counties
in Florida. For some Of these colo
MES arrangements have already been
made, and several hundred settlers
will probably be secured during the
year.
1.-TWO of the colonies are to be in
Franklin county, Florida, and two In
Decatur county, Georgia. One of the
colonies in Decatur county will be
about ten miles north of Bainbridge
and the other about seven miles south
of that point. Another colony will be
established about ten miles north OF
Tallahassee, on Lake Jackson. Ar
rangements are now being made TO!
colony in Early county, Georgia
also.
The Town Of Lanark.
Both Judge Blalock and Colonel
Legg state they expect to see the
country through which the road runs
develop very rapidly within the next
few years. Colonel Legg states that
cambridge will undoubtedly become
an important distributing point In
the near future. Judge Blalock is es
pecially interested in the development
of the town of Lanark, which is just
below Tallahassee. Lanark, he says
will be the residence portion Of Cara
belle, the port which is now being de-
veloped
a hotel has been built there and
lots are being sold rapidly, says Judge
Blalock. There is mineral spring
with excellent properties, he says,
and an ideal health resort will in time
be built, A number of Atlanta people
are to have rooms there, he says.
The country is ideal for sports of all
kinds, and now that it has become
accessible, he expects to see many
visitors there"

QUIZ GRuMRLINe.
Cease Worrying Over the Inevitable
and Court Contentment.


and Court Contentment.
How full the world is of grumblersl
Many of the same people who scold in
summer because it is warm scold the
next winter because it is cold. There
is no point between zero and the nine
ties that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no
matter. Neither is wanted. If skies
are clear, somebody's cistern needs
rain. IL the showers descend, some
body's feathers are ruined. 1t would
add much to our happiness and detract
much from the fatal tendency to grow
old if we would strive after content
ment and cease worrying over the in
evitable The truly happy are the hap
by go lucky, who take everything as it
comes and make the best of it.
If it rains, all that is left to do Is to
put up our umbrella, If we are so fortu-
nate as to have one, and trudge along.
Wet feet and bedraggled skirts won't
kill any one any more than poverty and
drudgery will, If there is something
within us too sunshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudgery to de-
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't go to suit
him is like the fly on the kings chariot
wheel. Things may not be planned ex-
actly for the comfort Of the fly, but his
protest will never stop the procession.
The best tactics for flies and grumblers
to pursue is to take what comes along
and be glad it is no worse.

odd Plight of a Deer.

"Srange accidents will sometimes
happen to deer" writes Scotch hunt
err. "A hind in Caithness came to some
crofter's hut near the forest and was
poking about to see If there was any
thing she could pick up when she found
an old tin pail lying in some out of the
way corner In went her nose and
down came the handle behind her ears.
Then somehow the whole pail slipped
down her neck, and there she was,
caught She was seen several times
with her strange necklace, which pre-
vented her from drinking or feeding
properly. The clatter when she got
under way was tremendous, and the
other deer were frightened for miles.
Several unsuccessful attempts were
made on her life, but never heard the
sequel. Anyhow, she must have died
soon from nervous prostration, coupled
with the shock, or from some Iadylike
disease of that sort"

Hounen In Siam

In Caspar Whitney's book Jungle
Trails and Jungle Peoples" he says:
"The Siamese builds his house Of one
story and on stills for several reasons.
The first, no doubt, is to avoid the I'M
pardonable sin Of living in a lower
story while an upper one is occupied
by other human beings, especially wo-
men. who In Siam are not regarded as
Of much Importance. The second, and
l should say the most practical, IL not
the most aesthetic, reason is to have
q waste gate easy of access for the con-
unually flowing saliva from betel nut
chewing and household refuse which
may thus be easily disposed of through
the crevices Of the openly constructed
floor"

Hereditary Names.

According to the invariable custom OF
the Duke Of Richmond's family, it is
prescribed that the eldest son and the
eldest son of the eldest son shall be
named after King Charles H., to whom
they owe so much. The same principle
is preserved in Lord Salisbury's family,
where the eldest sons are named James,
after James l., who bestowed the earl
dom Of Salisbury and viscounty of
Cranborne on the original founder Of
the house.-London Graphic.

The Vocal Cords.

Vocal power depends on the vocal
cords. When they are stretched, SO
narrowing the exit from the air pas
sage the voice is high pitched. When
they are pulled widely asunder the
voice is deep. When they are faced
the voice is nearly lost OF course,
voices vary individually in pitch and
resonance, but power is always af-
fected by the state of the general
health, and, broadly speaking, loss of
nerve tone is more often responsible
than anything else for vocal weakness.
Fast living, mental strain and similar
conditions occasion such impairment
of the nervous system. Breathing foul
air, especially air saturated with to-
bacco smoke, is bad for the cords.

SLAVERY IN CHINA.
Savage Cruelty Melted Out For the

property of the wife, and no one inter-

most savage cruelty for most venial Of
lenses A few weeks ago we recall
case of great hardship being brought
into the mixed court, Shanghai, in
which a small slave girl had been gag
ged with piece of iron and severely
beaten because, when half starved, she
helped herself to some scraps Of food.
"Our attention has now been called
to piercing cries which emanate from a
house near Canton road and are said to
proceed from a little slave girl who for
some reason Is beaten almost daily
with thick .knotted rope, but for what
reason is unknown.
"Our informant thinks a word in
public, showing that the incident has
been noticed may suffice to check the
cruelty without lodging formal COM
plant with the municipal police, which
might make matters worse for the poor
little sufferer in the long run"

rne Luxurfou. Romans.

The Romans had no flower shows.
There were bread and circuses," but
not bread and flowers. The luxurious
Roman used roses in enormous quaint
ties at his banquets. 1t was a fine joke
to have roses fall from above on guests
reclining at their tables and the flow
ers in such quantities as to smother
them. A writer recalls a picture of AL
ma-Tadema's 1.-The Rose Feast of
Elagabalus.' which shows the super
abundance of roses. To spend on a
banquet in roses 100000 sesterces,
equivalent to about 100000, is record
ed by Suetonius, but possibly Suetonius
exaggerates.
