How History is Made.

We printed in our issue of yester-
day Letter from Z. C. Barnard, of the
firm of E. c. Barnard & Co., telling
how grapefruit was introduced into
the Chicago market
Among other things, Mr.. Barnard
said:
ut was in Borland Bros grove at
Citra. Borland explained to me that
it was new variety of orange, but
was no account. 1 asked him what
he was going to do with them, Moth
ing" he said. well 1 will pay the
freight on them to Chicago, Il said.
"All right" said Borland He set his
men to packing and we shipped about
twenty boxes. DR.. Charles Reed, the
well known physician. has told me
about grapefruit he had seen in his
travels abroad.
Il wrote the greatest joshing letter
/ ever did in my life to my partner
and told him we must get So per box
for this fruit. 1 then wrote to Reed
and told him what I was doing and
he told all his patients about it and
recommended it as the greatest tonic
in the world. My partner took my let
ter seriously and actually sold the
grapefruit at SO TO $12 per box"
Mr.. Barnard adds: This was about
the year 1872"
Mr.. Borland came To Florida in 1879
and it was along in the SOS before his
orange grove was brought into bear
ing. SO Mr.. Barnard has at least got
his dates mixed

SLUMP IN ORANGE MARKET.
California Fruit UneatabIe-Hurt by
cold-FIorida's in Better Shape.
Special to the ocala Banner:

Special to the Ocala Banner:
New York. Jan. 1S.-The little spell
of cold weather the first of the week
had more effect on the California or
ange market than on any other line
of produce. The cold snap depressed
the market. 1t now looks as though
this depression viii not soon be rails
ed either by light receipts or weather
conditions. The depression is attrib-
utable, not only to the weather but
the heavy receipts of Florida oranges,
which, though they are arriving in bad
condition, are sweet and eat well. The
coast shipments are light this week
as a number of packing houses have
closed to give the fruit in transit a
chance to clean up.
The market opened this week with
fairly good prices for good fruit The
really good colored averaged $2.25.
Before the week closed the price took
decided slump, when stock sold 81
@2.25. There were 81 cars cold during
the week. Some Of the stock which
was spotted ranged s1.65 a 1.9O. There
were a few boxes, extra large sizes,
which brought trifle more, going as
high as 1885, but there were not
enough of these to signify.
Fruit Not Good.
The fruit is really not fit for the
best trade. 1t is a puzzle who eats
the California oranges in their pres
ent condition. Much of it is not fit
for hog to eat. No very choice fruit
from California is expected before
next month. 1t is the general opinion
that as the fruit sweetens prices will
be better.

AN AUTOMOBILE INVENTION.
w. X. Cleveland, Brother of Marshal
Cleveland, is Granted Important.
Patent.

Mr.. w. K. Cleveland. the well known
engineer of the Standard & fernando
Railroad. and whose home is at the
northeast corner of Fourth street and
Second Avenue North, has just been
granted United States Patent, No.
SO7,156. on device which applies mo-
tive power to the front wheels Of aut-
omobiles as we'll as to the rear wheels,
making the automobile four drive
wheel machine instead of two. and the
machine can be steered just as well
as now.
This device will enable automobiles
to go through deep sand beds, over
rough roads and up hills and inclines,
and make possible automobiling in
and through places where they have
never seen.
Mr.. Cleveland has blue prints and
a model of the device at his home.
where they are gladly shown to all
visitors. The main feature of course
is that with four drive wheels instead
of two. this device doubles the fric-
ton on the earth. The patent was
secured through Mum & Company.
of the Scientific American, and when
put into practical use will revolution
ize the manufacture Of automobiles.
Mr.. Cleveland is to be congratulated
upon his fine prospects, and st. Pet
ersburg also upon the possession of
name still more famous.-St. Peters

A Large catamount.

Mr.. l.. B. Booher. who lives on the
Orange avenue hard road, about three
miles south of ocaIa was displaying
in the city Friday very large cata-
mount which attracted considerable
attention.
Mr.. Booher has big pinder patch,
which the coons were destroying and
his son. Frank. set one or two steel
trans to catch the invaders. He was
much surprised Friday morning in 60
ing to his traps to find that this mons
fer animal had been caught in one OF
them. Having his rifle in his hand
he shot and killed the catamount,
which was a large and splendid speci-
men of his race.
Cant. w. L. Ditto. in viewing the
animal, said that just at the begin
ming of the war in Mississippi the
eatamount and wild eats made such
depredations on his hogs that he sent
TO Kentucky and got kennel OF dogs
and succeeded in a few months in
capturing one hundred and fifty OF
these animals. He says there are
three varieties of this family, the wild
cat, the tiger cat and the catamount.
The wild cat is very small and striped
across its body; the tiger cat is like
the wild cat only larger and the cat
amount is the largest of the three and
instead of being striped it is spotted.

finds the East. Coast of Florida pre-
pared to greet the tourist in true Flor

elegance promised in what has been

been taken advantage of to a greater
extent than they have ever been util-
lied in the past. The Indian River

The ocaIa Fair Association.

The people of Ocala became very
enthusiastic for fair and organized
an association, having that end in
view. Money was subscribed, the land
was purchased and fenced, a splen-
did race track, baseball diamond, fine
grand stand and stables for wintering
stock were built, but the fair did not
materialize and the property has been
neglected and is going TO ruin and was
threatened to be sold for the small
mortgage that was placed upon it.
Mr.. John r. Martin. of the firm of
]. r. Martin and company made the
association a proposition that he
would pay off the mortgage and keep
the property in good condition and turn
it over to the fair association for one
month in every year for the purpose
Of holding a county or state fair or
both. but if the association shall fail
10 hold fair for five consecutive years
then the property is to become his
in fee simples
Mr.. Martins, proposition was ac-
cepted and it is hoped that efforts will
be stimulated for the holding of an
annual fair.
The property is under good fence
and a fair can be held with very little
additional expense.
Let's so to work and hold it,

northern Japan are reported to be on
the verge of starvation, owing to fail

besomes apparent that Japan needed
peace as a result of the Portsmouth
conference, and needed it badly. The
famine is said to be the worst in six

Hiawatha will make regular semi
weekly trips to and from Palatka.
They anticipate a very heavy travel
this year. Mr.. Nelson also said that

patronage. The Alligator is owned by

that he was driving in a wagon that

the seed he found the crop an ex-
