Tallahassee. Nov. love have not
lacked for excitement at the capital
6is week. although there has been
nothing of general Importance to
chronicle. The board of control met
here Saturday morning and was a
part OF the day in session with the
state board of education. DR.. Brown,
Nr. Yonge and Mr.. Bryan, three
members who seldom miss attending
a meeting of the board, were the
members present. Architect Edwards
who made the plans for the univer-
SLY building at Gainesville was here
aud conferred with the board with
a view of making plans for needed i'm
pruyements in the buildings of the
Female College. The college has a
very large attendance AID there is ur-
gent need of additional dormitory
room. The college buildings are not
we'll arranged and the board is con-
siGcring the needs of the institution
ard will make recommendation to the
legislature for the needed improve
no"ts. Or Brown spoke enthusias-
tiraIiy OF the splendid success of the
college and with special emphasis of
the department of music. Saturday
evening the joint boards were enter
famed ut the college, a reception be-
Ing rendered them by President and
MIS- Murphree.
A Distinguished Visitor.
A distinguished visitor, and one we
have not often seen at the capital,
vas Hon. Henry S. Chubb, of Gaines
vile, who speEt Saturday here. Mr..
Chubb is one of the several charming
ard delightful men who have remained
republican in Florida and held the re-
sDect and admiration of the people of
ih' state. TO do that now is no diff
cult thing, but in the recent past 1t
vas a thing to test the nerve of most
men, and 1 have the very highest re-
gard for the men who chung to the pO
lltical faith of their fathers in spite
q the odium it carried in the south
In those days.
Mr.. Chubb did not say very defin
llely why he came to Tallahassee. but
he was in conference with Surveyor
General Parlin and Mr.. Warren, Of
ADalachicola, and his visit doubtless
mad some connection with the success
sion to the position in the United
States Land Office, made vacant by
the death of Hon. Walter G. Robin
son recently.
Anent Mr.. Chubbs visit, one bright
Woman discussing it at the Leon was
heard 10 say: IF | was a man anC
lived in florida. | would be a repub
hcan. for there are Offices enough rC
70 around among them. instead o
'crambling through a democratic pri
mary for one.
