Academy of Music last night. for the

strangers to Washington audiences.
Last year they made a decided hit In

bringing out the large crowd to greet
them last night. The Female Detec-

"From what I know of his tastes

Gently remarked a friend of the ex-
President. I remember that when
he stepped out of the Office at the end
of the second term as Chief Execu-
tive he felt vastly relieved. His spirits
rose with a bound. A few days after
the inauguration of President McKin-
ley, Mr.. Cleveland was in New York,
and happened to walk down Broad
way with him. He was beaming, and
was taking note of the interesting
things about him, with all the jest of
a big hearty boy just cut of school.
The shop windows were engaging not
a little of his attention. Upon a
glance into one of them, that of a
photographer, he stopped short. In
the window was an oil painting of
himself.

laugh, here is the most interesting
thing we've seen yet! It's old Grover.

the ex-President remarked with a
chuckle:

Fortune and the Beggar.
III. Fontaine Little in Life. ]

One day a ragged beggar was creep
ing along the street. He carried in
his hands an old wallet, and he asked
every passerby for few cents. AS
he was grumbling at his lot, he kept
wondering why it was that people
who had SO much were never satisfied,
but were always wanting more.
eff only had enough to eat and
wear, I should be satisfied" said the
beggar.
Just at that moment Fortune came
down the street. She saw the beggar r
and stopped. She said to him:
"Listen! have long wished to help
you. Hold your wallet and / will
pour this gold into it. But I will pour
only on this condition: All that falls
into the wallet shall be pure gold; but
all that fall upon the ground shall be-
come dust. Do you understand"
"Oh, yes, l understand said the
beggar.
"Then have care" said Fortune.
stYour wallet is old"
He opened his wallet quickly and
the yellow metal was soon pouring in.
SIS that enough?' asked Fortune.

"Isn't it cracking?' asked Fortune.
"Never fear; just little more"
said the beggar. "Add just another
handful

wallet burst from end to end.

THE CITY OF VENICE.
Its Peculiar Site and How 1t Came
to he Selected.

to he Selected.
The city Of Venice is approached
from behind by railroad constructed
over a stretch of swamp. Out beyond
this swamp was another swamp which
was little higher 1t had been out Of
the water longer and had caught
enough seaweed, sand, shells and sedi-
ment to be fit for birds to nest on.
There was one island called the Ri
alto, which was really quite secure,
and around this one there were said
to be about seventy-fve or eighty
other islands, which today are occu-
pied by the city of Venice, Some Of
these were originally not islands at
all. They were mere high places In a
great bog, which, by the cutting of
channels and by artificial means, were
converted into more or less fit places
for the erection Of buildings.
Without consulting history, one
could almost guess that such an un-
favorable spot as this was not Sc
lected as the site for city out of
free choice, and indeed it was not.
Venice was started during the fifth
and sixth centuries. The inhabitants
of Padua and a few more north Ro-
man cities, chased out by the Huns,
the Goths and other tribes of bar
barians, took refuge here in an Adri-
attic lagoon. The savages of Asia had
no boats, so that the settlement was
very safe, and, leading an independent
life, prospered here by itself during
the middle ages at surprising rate.
1t was q monstrous work to make
the city secure from the sea. Ship
loads of stone were brought from other
coasts. Dams and canals were built
at great cost, and the residents finally
got enough of dry land about them to
feel moderately safe.

For Saeouae8 Lots Vacant ALontnon
For Next Week.

Next week will be the closing week
of the present wet or dry campaign
in Putnam county. The last week
of such a campaign usually means
some surprises. Therefore the News
has thought it best to warn
The dry side against certain fairy
tale inventions that will be sprung
during the last days of the campaign
little inventions like the Lake City
interviews published in the Times
Herald last week-and which will APP
pear too late to correct. But the
people must be quite familiar with
these damp-we mean wet-method
by this time.
We would also admonish wet
workers throughout the county that
there'll be something coming to 'em
in the shape of "red Ticker" about
next week as reward for their
faithful services in behalf of their
county.
A wet plugger who doesn't get all
the "red licker' he can consume dur

Wants The Streets Cleaned.

The following communication was
presented to the city council at its
meeting last Tuesday night. The
letter does not overdraw the situa-
tion. The streets of the city are
filthy, the cutters are filled with
moulded filth and when the ST n
emerges from behind the clouds af-
ter a rain the foul odors that arise
are enough to "make IA flee dog
throw fit" to say nothing of its
effect upon human beings:
To the Members of the Council of
the City of Palatka:
Gentlemen
You are aware of the existence of
yellow fever in the State of Florida
no doubt. 1t is in regard to this mat
ter, which L deem of the utmost i'm
portance, | address you. | feel as a
citizen of Palatka, interested in her
future, that there should be some
attempt made by the city, the Off
GERS of the same and citizens cooper
ating to thoroughly clean Palatka.
The sanitary condition is far from
what it should be. Whether modern
| theories or not be true, the fact has
| been we'll established that wherever
contagious disease exists filth adds
to the spread of the disease as well
as mosquitoes, otherwise the remov-
| ing of debris and cleaning up would
be entirely unnecessary in cities
where yellow fever exists. "An
nF iC n
of cure" as you are all aware of. l
would therefore petition your hon
orable body to so instruct the COM
mittee on clean streets and sanitation
to at once take active measures,
clean up the streets and make an
examination of the sanitati n
throghout Palatka. No one, in walk
| ing around the streets of the city
would dare assert that the streets
were free from refuse, paper, cans
and other unseemingly objects. A
condition Of this kind at the present
time, therefore, when there is danger
of infection, should not be tolerated
for q moment. The citizens have
been in jeopardy by the carrying on
OF the installation of the new sewer
during the hot summer months. 1t
is time some relief is given them, at
least in the care that should be eX-
ercised in the cleaning up of the city,
Don't be astonished by this commu-
nication, it is just complaint by
one who is a citizen and voices many
other citizens who complain as to the
dirty appearance of the city. Some
tell me, "Get out If you don't like
it," 1 object on the ground that no
community, no matter where situat-
ed, has any right to be exposed in
any way to disease, when same can
be prevented.
Before it is too late, before the
time should come land may we
be spared such an affiction) l pray
your honorable body to consider in a
Conscientious manner the matter
herein referred to. Precautions of
some kind should be taken by the
city itself, so that none may enter
into the city gates, who might in any
manner carry contagion. Don't be
indifferent, don't resent this petit
tion, but try with all the means in
your power to protect those who
have elected you to office.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS H. RICHEY,
Rector of st. Marks Church.
