PRICE OF ICE COMES DOWN.
Jacksonville Dealer viii Sell at q i
Ton.

Jacksonville. Fla, July 1S.-As a "a
suit of the action against the mann
facturers and dealers in ice by Coun,
ty Solicitor Bryan. one of the manu-.
facturers today announced that hence
forth the retail dealers. irrespective
of former agreements, could buy ice
from his factory at SO per ton.
This is a reduction of so per cent
and in addition to this concession the
privilege is open to all of the ice ped
dlers of Jacksonville, while hereto
fore the manufacturers have deliver
ed their product to few OF those
who have been selling to the retail
trade
The county solicitor believes that
he has won victory by the announce
ment of this concession, since II
means a reduction of at least 50 Der
cent in the retail price of ice.

OBITUARY.

Hon. William Penn Haisley, of
Florida died on Sunday at the home
of Miss Emily McIlvaine in Lewes.
Mr.. Haisley has been in Ill health
for several years and since coming to
Lewes some months ago to attend the
funeral of his wifes mother, Mrs.
Simmons, has been in very feeble
condition. He was here all last sum-
mer. The funeral services were held
on Wednesday afternoon in the Epis-
copal church, and interment made in
the Presbyterian graveyard.
Mr.. Haisley was born in Wayne
county, Indiana, in the year 1881. Had
he lived till December 21st, he would
have completed his seyenty-fifth year.
His parents were Quakers and lived
in North Carolina until just prior to
his birth they moved west, stopping
in Indiana for a few years, where
they could be associated with more
of the society of Friends than in their
old home. Afterwards they left In
diana and moved into the vicinity of
Jacksonville, ILL.,, where his boyhood
was spent. His academic course was
taken at McKendree College, Leba-
non, Ill. He graduated in the Harvard
law department class of 1861. Subse-
quently took the degree Of A. B. at
Yale university. He was a persistent
and intelligent traveler-wo under
60 any amount of hardship and toll
in pursuit of the knowledge he sought.
Ten years of his life was spent trav-
cling solely for information.
In 1868 a magazine article descrip-
tive of Silver Springs induced him to
visit Florida. He was SO pleased with
the country that he determined to
cast in his lot with the Floridians
and make his home there. From 1877
to 1881 he was member of Governor
Drew's cabinet, holding the position
of state superintendent of public in
struction. In 1878 he married daugh-
ter of the late Mrs. Mary McIlvaine
Simmons of Lewes.
Those from distance who attend
ed the funeral of William Penn Haiz-
ley, were Miss Julia Beville, of Jack
sonville, Fla, and L. j. Haisley, of
Jacksonville, Ill.--Lewes (Del.) Pilot.

Immense subterranean Power

Less than five hundred feet beneath
the surface of the earth at Punta
Gorda there is power or force cana,
BILE of lifting a column of water eight
inches in diameter to a height Of
eleven feet above the surface. The
artesian wells now in operation estab.
lish this fact.
Now, when one considers the i'm
mense force necessary to lift an eight
inch column of water five hundred
feet, and reflects that this force lies
beneath every half-foot square of sur.
face of possibly one square mile, II
is wonder that it does not left the
whole surface of the earth eleven feet
higher than it is.
Another thought Suppose some
seismic shock should suddenly remove
that subterranean uplifting power or
turn it completely away into some
other direction, would the surface
sink down fifteen or twenty feet and
permit the gulf to rush in on top Of
u.s.?
AS this prodigious subterranean
force has been stored beneath the sur
face for four thousand years or more,
and has never in all that time burst
forth to oyerwhelm the land, there is
not the slightest danger that it will do
so at this late date, especially as we
are continually piling tons of weight
on top of it to help hold it down.
More than thousand people and sew
eral hundred buildings, to say nothing
of as many cattle and dogs, have been
added to the surface weight since this
immense power was first stored in
the caverns below-Punta Gorda Her

A Pathetic Story.


Captain Harry Quin, who recently
returned from trip to the gulf to
bring back to Bradentown the schoon-
er Valencia, which was wrecked
short time ago, carrying down to
watery graves Captain w. M. Fogarty
and his entire crew, relates pathetic
story of how the arrival of the boat
was received at it's dock by the wild
ow and children of the lost captain.
AS Captain Quinn steered up to the
wharf, Mrs. Fogarty, her son and two
little daughters were on the dock. The
two latter, too young to realize that
their father had gone forever, rushed
to the waters edge. clapping their
hands and joyfully calling out, ION,
here comes papa! Papa has come
hone!" unaware that their loved par
ent was never to greet them in this
world again.
While the little ones were joyously
watching for their father to land, the
widow and her son, knowing too wen
that Captain Fogarty was not aboard
his returning boat, wept over the ex-
pectant little ones as if their hearts
would break.
- Captain Quin found the boat in the
gulf, of some of the lower keys, but
could not find any trace of Captain
Fogarty or his crew, who were doubt
less all lost.-Tampa Tribune.

Jim 5urbridge's Marriage.

Mr.. James D. Burbridge, manager of
the Duval theater of this city and one
of the best known and most popular
gentlemen living in Jacksonville, is to
be married at $50 o'clock this morn
ing in Joplin, Mo.
A letter was received from Mr.. Bur-
bridge yesterday by his bosom friend,
Hon. Thomas Cahill, councilman from
the fifth ward, city of Jacksonville.
in which the writer informed Mr.. Ca
hill of his intention to be married Sat
urday morning, July IA. He told of
all his plans for his honeymoon tour.
and from the tone of the letter it
could be easily seen that Jim was in
a state of ecstacy over the approach
ing event, but he omitted one impor-
tant particular. The name of the
bride-to-be was not given.
Now, Jim has never been married
before, and, consequently, he did not
realize that in all weddings the mere
man cuts but little figure and the
bride is the shining star of the occa-
sion. He will soon learn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burbridge will spend
week or more in Chicago and then
come to Jacksonville for a short stay
before proceeding to New York, where
they will spend some time. Upon re-
turning to jacksonville they will re-
side at the Windsor until Mr.. Bur
bridges new house is completed

two of the brides most intimate

The bride was beautifully dressed
in a lovely white organdie with en-
broidery trimmings Of most exquis-
lite design, with gloves and hat to
match. Never did she look more
charming than she did as bride, new
er did she look as happy. Oh, love,
tbs a wondrous thing!
The groom looked handsome in a
black suit. Happy" that word can't
express the way he looked, and he
had a right to be after winning such
a jewel.
Mrs. Lee is the oldest daughter of
Mrs. James Swindle of this place, and
she has a host of friends, who wish
her much joy. Their only regret is
losing her from our midst.

CONGRESSMAN sPARKMAN IN
TERvIEWED.
Thinks Bryan Will Be Nominated
Roosevelt Has Made His Best
Plays, and His Nearness to
Democracy Alone Makes
Him Popular.

Congressman Sparkman was asked
by Times reporter day or two ago
about politics from a national stand
point. He replied that there were
but two things of a size to attract
wide attention just now. One was the
apparent certainty that Bryan would
be the democratic nominee for the
presidency, and the other was the
skill and audacity with which the re-
publicans were exploiting the demo-
cratic thunder they have stolen.
In Favor of Bryan.
81 am" said the congressman,
quite strongly in favor of the NOM
ination of Mr.. Bryan by the demo
Gratis. 1t may be. by the calendar, a
little early to begin to express pref
erences, but it is evidently not too
early for the people to feel them. 1t is
my opinion that if there is demo
crat who can be elected next time,
Bryan is the man. If, in his judgment,
he is the strongest man when the
convention is held, there is no doubt
of his nomination. II is seldom that
so important matter is left to the
judgment of the man who might be
supposed to be most deeply interested
personally. But such is the confidence
in Bryan's unselfishness that people
look at it about that way.
"He has expressed himself on the
subject of free silver in a way to sat
isfy the conservative element of the
country, he holds the esteem and con-
fidence of the party, and when the
time comes to name candidate-un-
less some unlooked-for CONFUSION in
tervenes-he will be the unanimous
choice of the party.
"The president has made his most
popular and effective plays for pop
ular approval on the very principles
filched from the democratic platform.
Every leading plank in it was boldly
taken up as basis for his messages.
1t is true that he backed out some
what hastily on the revision of the
tariff in the face of the stand taken
by the stand-patters, but that is mere
ly the exception that proves the rule.
1t is doubtful if the republicans can
name a man whom the people can be
made to believe will carry out those
policies on the Roosevelt-democratic
line If the republican nominee drops
those democratic principles and goes
back to the republicanism of four and
eight years ago, and Bryan is the
democratic nominee, there is not a
moments doubt of the result
The congressman regards Taft's
North Carolina speech as very skill
full and adroit, but he doubts if it will
be accepted by the republican party
and speakers as the keynote of the
campaign this fall. The party will
probably go back to its old stand, in
the meanwhile creating disappoint-
ments and discussions that will result
in advantages to the democrats ma
tionally, and Immediately in a great
many congressional districts Alto
gether, Mr.. Sparkman expects to see
magical revival in democratic uni
ty and harmony, with tremendous
rebound from the low ebb of the last
two presidential elections.-Tampa
