Fall Of negro Dude.

Col. H. NJ de Montmollin returned
on Tuesday from Washington where
he went to take part in the inaugu-
ration parade as all aide on the staff
of Lit. Gen. A. r. Chatfee, chief mar
chal.
Col. de Montmollin says that the
city was packed to the limit, but that
being on the inside he faired very
nicely, escaping the usual eXhorbi-
tant prices which rule for accommo-
dations at such time.
Asked as to what feature of the
parade impressed him most, Col de
Montmollin said:
at was a great paradef but really
the feature that impressed me most
was not on the prOgram-it was Just
an incident. The parade was pass
ing up Pennsylvania avenue, the
street closed to all else and the peo-
pie held back by ropes stretched on
either side. Suddenly il tall negro,
dressed in the extreme of fashion
and wearing high silk hat, was
seen to get under the rope and start
to run through the parade to the op-
posite side of the street. When he
was about half way acrcss II Texas
COW puncher whowas, perhaps, 40 or
30 feet down the line, lifted his Ii =
riat from his saddle and swinging il
once or twice over his head, let it go
for the nigger The moose caught
Mr.. Niger square over the head and
the -puncher jerked him sprawl
ing to tie pavement. The crowd saw
the affair and the shouts of laughter
that went up showed that it was
amused. The negro struggled to his
feet with his hat and clothing some-
what soiled but still held tight by
the lasso. Two policemen then
rushed under the ropes, rescued him,
and then, in none too gentle man
ner, conducted him to his proper
place. He was the most surprised
nigger I ever saw when the lariat
threw him, and his discontinue over
his soiled clothing and ignominious
retreat will have a tendency to make
him remember the Inauguration OF
Roosevelt every time he gets into his
dude clothes

OUR TRUCKING LANDS.
Prominent Agricultural Expert Gives
His Views On Paldtka Lands for
Trucking Purposes.

The following article appeared in
the Jacksonville Times Union of
Tuesday:
"Prof. W. g. Johnson, managing
editor of the American Agricultural
ist, and Thos A Barrett, treasurer of
the Orange Judd Publishing COM
pany Of New York City, called at the
Times-Union office yesterday.
"These gentlemen are largely in
terested in the agricultural develop
ment of the south, and are making
an editorial tour of Florida. They
left last night for Palatka, where
they have truck farm. Professor
johnson is the president of the At
lantic Coast Truck Farm Company
and Mr. Barrett is the treasurer.
speaking of this enterprise, Pro-
fessor Johnson said to representa-
tive of the Times Union:
'"Last year we made a careful tour
of central and west coast of Florida,
studying the agricultural conditions.
We were impressed with the i'm
mense opportunities for development
along these lines, and organized our
company, locating our farm at Palat-
ka, under the supervision of g. X.
Landers, an experienced truck farm
er, formerly from Gainesville.
1--we had out this year about two
thousand barrels of lettuce. The
freeze of January u caught us with
one thousand six hundred barrels of
Boston head lettuce, which was
ready to ship. Our loss was about
$4,000, but we immediately set to
work to prepare for other crops.
1--WE now have out two acres of
Romaine salad lettuce, some of
which sold at 81 per basket in the
Philadelphia market last week. We
also have out a large area in toma-
toes, eggplants, peppers, celery and
cucumbers. We believe the land
there is capable of producing more
for the amount of money expended
than any corresponding area of the
north or west.'n
Prof. Johnson and Mr.. Barrett
spent Tuesday here in company with
Superintendent Landers.

Antonio USina For Mayor.

The democratic city convention
last Friday night nominated Mr.. An
tonic Usina for the office of Mayor
lOf Palatka, by acclamatiOn. No
other name was presented TO the
convention. Mr.. Stephens, whose
name had been suggested, declined
to allow his name to go before the
meeting.
The convention was enthusiastic
The delegates had made up their
minds in advance that Mr. Usina
was just the man for the place, and
to this vicw they were assisted by
leading citizens. They urged that
Mr.. Usina had the time and the
ability and the nerve to make an
ideal executive and that ii he could
be prevailed upon to accept the office
he would make being mayor" his
profession, his chief occupation,
That they were right in this esti-
mate of the man is further evidenced
in his speech of acceptance. After
the nomination a committee was ap-
pointed to notify the candidate and
bring him before the convention.
When the committee escorting Mr..
Usina appeared there was a tumult
of applause When quiet was res
tOred Mr.. Usina said:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Convention: You all know / am
not Il speechmaker; but will say
that am deeply grateful to you for
the honor You have tonight conferr-
ed upon me. | am, as you know,
thoroughly identified with the city's
interests, and will endeavor in my
humble way to advance them to the
best of my ability. All | can say is
to watch me as / go along and see If
don't keep my word. | again
thank you for the high honor"
Then there was more applause.
Mr.. Usina is man remarkable for
his Independence of character. He
uses his brains for thinking par
poses, and when he arrives at II con-
clusion he doesn't stop to enquire in
to its popularity before expressing
himself. AS chairman of the street
committee of recent council he
saw that city laborers did their full
duty. With him public office is not
to be regarded as private snap, nor
public franchise "a public hold-up.
He will give Palatka a business adj
ministration according to his esti-
mate of how public business should
be done. He may not always agree
with the council, but such differ
ences, if any, cannot prove other
than wholesome in that they will
cause discussion and it is only by
public discussion that interest is
aroused and the will of the people
ascertained.
And after all that is what is need
ed under our form Of government.

a large reward was offered. jackson

The Woman who Sang to- Chopin aa
He Sank to Death.
As the great Chopin lay dying his
soul was ushered out by the song OF
the beautiful Countess Delphine Po-
tocka, who had been his dearest conf
dante and friend. The romance of their
friendship, one of the sweetest in his
tory, is related by Gustav Kob!oe in the
Delineator The last tragic scene in the
life of the composer has often been de-
scribed and has been painted by Bar
rios, but it is so touching that one may
we'll read another version of 1t. Mr..
Kobbe writes:
"Then came what is perhaps the
most touching scene that has been
handed down to us from the lives OF
the great composers. When Delphfne
entered what was soon to be the death
chamber Chopin's sister Louise and
few of his most intimate friends were
gathered there She took her place by
Louise When the dying man opened
his eyes and saw her standing at the
foot of his bed, tall slight, draped In
white, resembling a beautiful angel,
and mingling her tears with those of
Louise his lips moved and those near
est him, bending over to catch his
words, heard him ask that she would
sing.
mastering her emotion by strong
effort of the will, she sang In voice of
bell-like purity the canticle to the Viz
gin attributed to Stradella--sang it so
devoutly, so thereally. that the dying
man, artist and lover of the beautiful
to the very last whispered in ecstasy:
How exquisite! Again, againP
"Once more she sang, this time a
psalm by Marcello 1t was the haunted
hour of twilight The dying day draped
the scene in its mysterious shadows.
Those at the bedside bad sunk noise
lessly on their knees. Over the mourn
full accompaniment of sobs hoated the
voice of Delphine like melody from
heaven"
