IL any Londoner crawling up to busi-
ness by train or tram through the FOG
turned his idle mind TO wondering why
it was called "fog" he would probably
decide that 1t could not have been call
ed anything else. Fog" is its obvious
name Yet there Is much speculation
among philologlsts on this point. DIR.
Murray's dictionary suggests an inter
estlng pedigree. As far back as the
fourteenth century fog" meant after
grass, the rank grass that sprang up
after hay harvest or grew in the win
ter, while in the north it meant moss.
Then "foggy" came TO mean DOGGY.
Next it was used TO mean bloated or
pufy of the flesh of men or animals,
and finally. as applied to ale or air. 1t
meant thick. and our modern fog was
derived back from this 'foggy." Skeat,
however. goes straight to the Danish
fog" as In ''sncc fog" snowstorm,
from "fyge," TO drift. The worst OF
London fogs is that they do not drift
fast enough.-London Chronicle.

The game of base ball last Satur-
day afternoon between the Nine
Chums of Palatka and the Crescent
City team attracted large crowd of
spectators, the great majority of
whom were home people and parti-
san friends of the local team.
The game was spirited throughout,
but from the beginning it was easy
to see that the visiting club greatly
outclassed the home players. They
led from the first and increased their
lead with every inning, though
there was many brilliant plays made
by members of the Crescent City
club. Collins who was in the box
for the Nine Chums, pitched re-
markably swift ball and the home
boys, none of whom are heavy hit
tiers, found it hard to hit him at all.
On the other hand, Carrier, for the
home team was hit regularly, and
when hit, the ball usually went to
the field One of the features of the
game was the fine playing of Wilson,
in left field for the home club. He
had many put-outs to his credit
from difficult fly catches. Another
was the home run of Lowe of Palat-
ka, who made the only home run,
possible only through the fumbling
of the ball in the field.
The score resulted in a victory for
Palatka by ID to 5. Good nature
prevailed throughout the game,
though the enthusiasm Of the spec
tators was considerably dampened
by the constant ill luck of their ia
vorites. The line up. of the teams
was as follows:
Nine Chums-Thomas, LIST b; Mer-
rill, C; Hayes, I'd b; r. Phillips Sd
b; Calhoun. $. S; l.. Phillips, CT; Col
Inns, p; Lowe, If; Bruce, RI.

Norton, LIST b; Tanning 3D. b; G. Nor
ton, C; Carrier, cf. and p; Gautier, rf.
The local team goes to Federal
Point today to play a return game
with the club at that place.

A Nasty Case.

County Judge Coke has issued a
warrant for the arrest of Rev. S. j.
Mcleod of Waycross Ga, and the
papers have been forwarded to Gov.
Broward with request that he make
Il requisition on the governor OF
Georgia for his eXtfadition.
The Rev. Mcleod, who is a white
man, came here some two weeks ago
and intimated to the blind negro
evangelist, David l.. Williams, that
unless he (Williams) gave up certain
furniture in his possession, that he
(MeLeod) had n warrant for his
(WilliamsD arrest.
Williams gave up the furniture and
Mcleod had it packed for shipment
and carted to the freight warehouse
of the Crescent City Transfer com
panv. Williams was then told that
the man had no right to arrest him,
and he went before Judge Coke to
rerlevin the goods from the transpor-
tation company. 1t was then that
he also had warrant issued for Nc
Leod for impersonating an officer.
There is something back of this.
Last January Williams married Il
light ginger-cake colored woman VIII,
had been McLeOd's cook. When she
left to come here with Williams they
brought about three dollars worth OF
furniture which the woman alleges
had been given her by Mcleod. 1t
is also alleged that Mcleod didn't
want the furniture so much as he
did the woman. At any rate he did
his best while here to persuade hel
to 90 back with him, which she de-
clined 10 do.
The News has been shown letter
received by this woman last Thurs
day, and which she alleges came
from McLeod--though there is nc
name signed-and in which the
writer makes a pathetic appeal fol
the woman to abandon the 'little
monkey" she is living with and come
to him, promising that he will pro-
vide for her every want.
The Rev. Mcleod is a preacher Of
the Baptist persuasion and editor Of
a paper published at Waycross called
"Pulpit and Pew" On his arriva
here he went to one of our hotels ano
asked the rate, and when told, want
ed to know if they didn't make
discount for ministers and editors.

lob. He says his wife is an inter
twist of Indian, Anglo-Saxon ant

CRESCENT CITY.

Is one Of the most beautiful
locations in Florida. Tourists
will find it an ideal spot to
spend the winter, or pass few
days of keen delight.
The town is on Crescent Lake
ian arm of the st. Johns River
and Is 100 miles by water, aud
" miles by rail from Jackson
vile.
The all day river ride on the
steamer Crescent. from Jack
sonville to Crescent City, is one
of the delightful experiences of
Florida travel. The steamer
leaves Jacksonville at 8 a. m.
every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday, reaching Crescent
City at 6 p. m. This trip is the
only daylight ride up the broad
and picturesque st. Johns.
The steamer has pretty cabins
and offers q delightful outlook
even in stormy weather.
Crescent City is the center of
the orange growing industry in
middle Florida, and beautiful
groves surround the place.
The fruit is at its best now.
Good boating, hunting and
fishing will afford amusement
for sportsmen.
Naptha launches can be Sc
cured cheaply for water trips.
Crescent City has good hotels
and boarding houses at mode

Bible Conference CloseC.

The week of post conferences ad-
dresses at the auditorium closed
with the services of Sunday At the
morning service the attendance was
quite large, but the storm of the af-
| ternoon and the drizzling rain of the
evening kept many away from the
night service.
Mr.. Gaebelein spoke every evening
last week and at both the Sunday
services, and his addresses are all
highly spoken of. Mr.. Stebbins led
in the singing and was given valua-
BILE assistance by Miss Jones, whose
clear, sweet and high soprano voice
always delights Crescent City au-
dience.
Mr.. Gabelein left on Monday for
Orlando where he has engagements
to speak, but Mr.. Stebbins is re-
naming for q few days rest at the
Southfield, and where he hopes to be
joined by Mr.. and Mrs. CHATTER the
latter part of the week, though the
success of their revival meetings in
Tampa may keep them there lon
ger time.
The future of the Bible conference
in Crescent City is in the balance
True its officials speak encouraging
ly of next years meetings and say
they are making great preparations
for it, but the fact remains that fl
nancial provision for such meeting
had not been secured at the time of
this years adjournment.
IT should be remembered that the
original association known as the
"Southtield Bible Conference Asso-
citation of CRESCENT CITY, was
this year superseded by the South
field Bible Conference Association, "
a new and anything but local organi-
cation, having seven trustees, but
one of whom is Crescent City man.
In a letter to the editor Mr.. Cha
fer, the president, said: 1.-The con-
ference is to be a permanent thing
and can be kept in Crescent City
ONLY as there can be room made
for the guests. Several hundred
visitors could be secured for the
coming season if the entertainment
could be arranged for them" Mr..
CHATTER also stated in conversation
with the editor that he could easily
bring 800 people here from the north
next winter for the Bible conference
if Crescent City could furnish hotel
accommodations.
1t will thus be seen that the future
of the conference insofar as Crescent
CITY is concerned is in the balance
A hotel is needed to accommodate
conference visitors. But such a ho
tel would not be good bushes:
proposition for q two or three week
: session. It could be secured only
through the munificience of some
Bible conference enthusiast, or phil
anthropist, one who would put mon

All who visited the conference thi
, year were delighted with its loca
ton. Crescent City appealed t.
them as such restful, beautiful
place, and just the place for a con
ference. This is all true, but Il

JAPAN is PROGRESSING.
Slowly But Surely the People Are
Forging Ahead in the
Industries.

The japanese are Quartered on a long
narrow. very mountainous group Of is
lands having an area one-third larger
than the British isles, and about equal to
that OF California, Of which only II per
cent. is capable Of cultivation. The
dense population Of from 45,0OO,OOO to
5000 600, all dependent upon the prod
ucts of the field and the nearby waters,
carry on their outdoor work by many
an ancient method. Their struggle for
existence has not been an easy one, says
the Engineering Magazine. Yet with
all this, they are contented and happy,
for the struggle has not been character
lied by the haste and intense strain I'M
der which we labor. In this respect they
are wiser in their day and generation
than we are.
When considering Japan's progress,
1t is well to remember that there are
at least two viewpoints. One is the
Japanese; and II we judge by their no
tions. the advancement during the time
occupied by the last half Of Marquis
Ito's public life alone is little less than
marvellous. This is the point of view
persistently put forward by them and
oftenest seen in newspapers. On the
other hand, from the outlook Of a for
eigner who has lived in Japan and
knows the average as well as the ex-
ceptional conditions. they still have a
long way to go in their industries and
civilization to attain the eminence they
are popularity given credit for having
already reached.
Japan progresses. Her shipbuilding
progresses also. SO do her other indus
tries. Were II possible. hasty glance
along a few other lines of japanese in
dustry would be Of interest as showing
in a general way the past and existing
conditions and the present state of prog
ress. This comparison OF industrial
works should give the relative progress
and position Of shipbuilding as COM
pared with the improvement and pres
ent standing OF other industrial enter
prises II would also emphatically evil
dence the fact that Japan's industrial
growth has not been IN shipbuilding
alone, but that her progress has been
along all lines, and therefore that ship
building has only been keeping pace
with the national progress.
