+. Ihe great work of Mr.. M
Flagler for East Florida is a
story of abiding interest. He
has beautiful home at Palm
Beach, Fla, that cost one mil
hon dollars. Here he spends
most of the time of his stav in
the South. Mr.. Flagler is to the

rich men have house boats.
They remain only a few months
during the winter. They leave
their places in the care of serv-
ants the remainder of the year.
The yachting in Lake Worth and
Biscan Bay is said to be the fin
est of all the resorts in the
South; there is good depth of
water, and as a rule very smooth.
Fishing in both the bay and lake
is exceptionally fine. 1t is the
home of the red snapper. They
are caught of all sizes from 2 to
20 pounds. l spent one day my
self fishing in Lake Worth. The
sensation of drawing in even
five pound red snapper with one
hundred yards of line is very ex-
hilerating. Yachting now is
mostly done in gasoline steam
launches. While the fumes of
the burning oil is a little dis
agreeable, yet with the excite
ment of a high speed. one entire
ly forgets it. Imade a trip from
Miami to the breakers and re-
turn. This run is considered
one of the most enjoyable out
ings in the world, especially in
the evening, and with a full
moon shining. The excursion
from Miami up the Miami river
to the jungles and then into the
everglades is also very interest
ing. The Miami river flows into
the Biscan Bay about ten miles
from Miami and is navigable for
flat-bottom launches for quite a
distance. The scenery along
this river is wonderful indeed.

fact the richest lands in Florida.

toppled over several tottering
walls and cracked chimneys, left
by the severe shock of last We'd

and killed one woman in her
horne. The shock was not Sc

dition of walls and chimneys re-
suited in the upsetting of some
masonry. The shock was barely
perceptible in Oakland and vicin-
lty, and was not felt far from
San francisco. according to re-
ports received tonight.
Today's earthquake caused
slight excitement of short dura-
tion among many persons who
have been wrought to p hIgn
state Of excitement by the awful
happenings of the last week but
quiet and assurance was soon re-
stored.

RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS.
There was resumption of busi-
ness to an astonishing extent to-
) day considering conditions,
throu ghout the residential quart

ed to reopen and the municipal
government has established a
scale of prices for the most i'm

given retailers nat any effort on
their part to rge exorbitant
prices would in summary
action by the 4orities.
Street carr are promised for
tomorrow morning and electric
lights will be turned on tomor-

ing and improving chimneys is
proceeding rapidly, but it will be
some time before it is safe to al.
low fires.
The preparation of the morn

Francisco as rule does not par
take of more than that number
at present, is a picturesque sight
In front of every house there is {
small improvised furnace or ;
cookstove on which the food il
prepared.
In some cases servants remain
faithful to their employers AM

FAIR alberta DIED SUDDENLY
Corcner's Jury Has Pronounced Her
Dead.

Dead and gone is Elberta, the beau
teous queen Of The ach belt. Yester-
day, after the blizzard has passed on
and summer sunshine returned again,
the saddened peach growers went sor-
rowfulIy forth to view the wreck and
ruin wrought by Jack Frost. In one
orchard of 10000 trees near Americas,
it is believed that 90 perc9nt of the
peach buds were killed. Experienced
peach growers told the Times. Recorder
that, while some buds were still green
and apparently sound, the peaches
would drop from the trees later on.
Some varieties may have escaped this
blizzard, but the crop as whole is
badly Injured if not destroyed alto
gether. In the midst of fine orchards
containing half million peach trees
Americus will feel the loss of this val
liable crop.
