was about 10 put her line aboard the
Shoal Water tug, when the rising tide
did the work for her. and the Astoria
slipped into the channel under her own
motive power. During this little epi
sode the powerful 1atoosh had steamed
on TO the field and had passed line to
the Occano.
She was making steady and effect
ual haul, but was not quite up TO the
big task Of freeing the stranded yesscl,
although she succeeded in moving her
per~ptibly in the right direction Then,
at about 1880, the Astoria got her lines
aboard and the Electro, upon request,
also sent hawser and got in line for
the three fold endeayor, and all setting
hard on the cables, they soon had the
Oceano where she ought 10 be, In deep
water. And as she slipped steadily,
slowly. but surely, into her proper ele'
ment, great shout went up from oil
the vessels engaged, and this, added 10
the uproar and turmoil Of flashing
lights, clanking chains, straining haw.

whistles, the commands OF anxious Off.

up scene that fixes itself indelibly IN
the mind Of every man who had the
good fortune TO be present at the al.
spicious moment Captain Davies was
iubilant and made no effort to disguise
his pride and pleasure In the success
of the aiding steamers, but cordially and
gratefully received and acknowledged
the congratulations poured upon him.
The steamers Miller and Eclipse stood
by TO render aid in the stream, but for.
tunately nothing happened TO engage
their services, and the Oceano was
backed down the channel and came to
anchor for the night.
This morning she will move TO the
quarantine station, where she will I'm.

purpose Of di.eharging the remainder Of
her Shanghai water ballast, disinfecting
her tanks and re.flling them with sea
water. She will return in tomorrow,
and probably clear for Portland on Tues.
day.
She will hardly escape the imposition
of fine at the custom.house here, on
the score of her bills OF health, which
are in, identically, the same form n

There il one element in all the 0ceano
has undergone since Thursday morning
for which her owners may be devoutly
thankful, and that Is the splendid wea

time she was in Coventry" over In the
north channel Had any violent changes
transpired this would not have been
the last record to have been made ON
the incident and her safety would have
been far less easily secured.
During all the Disadvantages under
which the ship and her officers have Ia.
bored during the past three days, the
courtesy and consideration shown by
DIR. Baylis II. Earle, the federal qnaran.

FLORIDA ORANGES

when in Good Condition Meeting with
Excellent Sales.
The Packer under New York date OF
Oct. IA, says;
Receipts of Florida oranges and
grapefruit have been so meagre that
up to the present time quotation has
hardly been established. So far both
oranges and grapefruit have arrived
very green. Weather conditions have
been somewhat adverse to the salts
factory handling Of the fruit as the
temperature has been too warm.
california oranges are now so very
high that Florida stock meets with ex-
cellent sale regardless OF its condition.
The receipts Of Florida oranges are
nov probably several hundred boxes a
week. $50 to $500 lie the range OF
values at the present time for good or
anges. Fruit that is well enough ma
tured without being taken through the
ripening process would sell readily at
a handsome premium over these fig
ures. Grapefruit ranges in value from
two to three dollars per box"

the opportunities presented by same,

BETTER MAIL SERVICE

Postal Authorities win Investigate Re-
quest for Railway Clerks.
That the effort to secure better mail
facilities on the Charlotte Harbor d.
vision Of the A. O. L., may result in
success, appears hopeful.
Petitions on this subject have been
forwarded from various places aleng
the line, and J. L. Jones, of this city,
who wrote to Congressman sparkman
concerning the matter, has received a
letter from him, stating that he had
taken up the question with the postal
authorities, and submitting an answer
from w. s. Shallenberger, Second As
sistant Postmaster General, who said
that the petition asking for the estab-
lishment of railway post Office service
on trains So and 40, between Tampa
and Fort Myers wod}db investigated
by the department atonce.
1t is hoped that favorable action
will be taken, as It would be conven-
fence and benefit to many persons.

PROPOSED PORT ON INDIAN RIVER
Such a Harbor Might Tend to
! Construction of Railway Across
State From Coast to Coast.

A matter Of some Importance is the
agita ton Of citizens of the Indian
River section for Improvements to lie
made at st. Lucie inlet in order that
a harbor may be secured, and while
this subject so deeply appeals to resi-
dents of that region, it should also
prove interesting to people on this side
OF the State.
Should such a harbor be made IL
would offer inducement in the future
TO railway builders to run a line Of
road across the State, probably from
Tampa to the new port, with such
branches aP may seem necessary to the
builders for profitable trade.
A railway travorsing the proposed
route would quickly open a fertile
country, and would be the most direct
route for shipment OF phosphate, tim
Der and naval stores.

Missions was perhaps the strongest,
most enthusiastic feature Of the well
prepared program. There we're ad-

In the opening session, greetings
we're read from Treasurer Shaw, of
Boston, and eleven OF the twelve Of
ficers of the State G. E. Union. The
Presbyterian church, in which all ses-
sions were held, was adorned with the
banners OF the State Union and the
Japanese Increase banner, the latter
receiving the most attention.
Four mealswere served in the church
dining room, SO there was no excuse
for unsociability.

PRAISE OF FLORIDA

But suggestions of Tldinsss, That Would
he Well to Follow.
New York Tobacco; The sandy
surface Of Florida is peculiarly adapt
ed by nature to readily take care Of the
great rainfall of this semi-tropical
gulf region. The soil takes in the rain
much as a sponge absorbs water, and
about as readily. In an hour or so az
ter heavy downpour no trace Of il
can be seen. There are no muddy
streets in any city or village Of south
Florida, and there is rarely any dust
excerpts on paved streets. The moist
air, heavy dews and ability OF the soil
to retain moisture, together keep VI, e
tation in a fiourishing state Of green
ness, and there 10 never any appear
ance of drought, with dried up fields
like the pasture lands OF Canada and
and the New England states in July
and August, when rain is infrequent.
'Florida is robed in green the year
round. 1t has not the close-shaven,
clean-cropped surface so pleasing to
the traveller through the up-country
states. Indeed, it looks as IL q hair
cut would improve the general ap.
pearance OF the peninsula, so rank and
prevalent are the weeds, and 90 gener-
al the jungle character OF the woods
and river sections. Yes, and the viii
lagos and cities as we'll.
"But Florida is rapidly Sticking
up these days. 1t would be greatly
to the benefit Of the entire state IL the
sensible methods of many Of the tour
ist states Of the north-Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine, for instance
were copied, and there was Sticking
up every year, together with the adj
dition Of more comfortable accomo-
dalton, and more pleasing efforts in the
line OF enjoyment for their crowd Of
visitors. Florida's great winter tour
list contingent probably outnumber
the summer crowd in any OF the resort
states OF the north, and it is rapidly
increasing from year to year. Neat,
tidy cities, villages and surroundings,
good roads and creature comforts are
J powers in winning favor, in bringing

Another Enemy Of the Orange.

Ft. Myers Press Mr.. e. L. Evans,
who makes a study 81 the orange, has
recently discovered new enemy in
this section to the orange tree. 1t is a
borer that digs through the bark and
into the trunk an inch or two, making
a hole as large as the head of a pin,
and kicking out a stream OF fine saw
dust. The borer covers the trunk with
these punctures until it finally girdles
the tree, causing It to die. While ex-
aiming a tree where the borer was at
work, in company with Mr.. Evans and
Walter Langford, the little live gimlet
was discovered. He proved to be a
quarter inch in length, and looked like
a small beetle. A sure way to detect
this new orange tree enemy at work,
is to look for the sawdust at the base
of the tree The Press would like to
learn II thia borer has been discovered
elsewhere.

In concluding, he said that he had
always observed that there are two
divisions in the South, those who
would hiss and those who would APP
plaud the ones who are trying to por-
tray the true ideals Of the South.
"There were scalawags then and
there are scalawags now" he said very
pointedly amid uproarious applause.
But this was not all. The unusual
spectacle Of prominent young men
gathered in front OF the authors hotel,
with hostile intent, was witnessed at an
early hour Sunday morning. The per-
formance was very long, il being al
most midnight before IL was concluded
The young men sent note to Mr..
Dixon's room asking him to come down
to see them. It cannot be said whether
Mr.. Dixon anticipated trouble with his
callers, but their request was refused
AS IL determined to acquaint the
author with their sentiments OF his
play, the young men set about TO pre-
pare a note expressing their opinion,
which was sent up to Mr.. Dixon's room.
Here the incident was closed.
The audience was composed almost
entirely Of white people, there being
scarcely a dozen negroes in che gall
lery From these there were no DEM
onstrntions. The auditors were all
Democrats, so there could be no charge
OF partisanship.
