LETTER TO L. II. PIPER,
Belfast. Maine.

Dear Sir: Take two-story house and
reckon the costs with different paints; you
will be surprised. Say the house has to-
tai of 3210 square feet.
Divide by 800; you buy II gallons That's
the rule but it never cOmes-Out SO.
Buy any other paint than Devoe, you will
have to buy more, up to possibly % gallons.
Paint Devoe, and you'll have gallon or
two to return. Here are some experiences.
N. K. Watkins, Lott, Texas, used 13 gal
Ions on his house before; bought 13 gallons
Devoe for same house and had left.
G. B. Edwards, of Edwards & Broughton,
printers, Raleigh, N. Co.. used 80 gallons
paste paint on his house; bought 80 gallons
Devoe for same house and had 16 left. 60
by the gallons.
Yours truly

Death of Mrs. Mckinley.

CANTON, o., May 26. Mrs. William Nc
Kinley, widow of the third martyr presi-
dent Of the United States, died at her home
here at LOS o'clock this afternoon. The
transition from life to death was so peace
full and gradual that it was with difficulty
that the vigilant physicians and attendants
noted when dissolution came. There was
no struggle, no pain. Mrs. Mckinley never
knew for days Of the efforts made to pro-
long her life or of the solicitous care of her
sister and other relatives and friends.

STATUE OF GEN. GORDON.

ATLANTA, Ca, May Is. With elaborate
military display and appropriate exercises
the handsome que,trian statue of Gen. John
b. Gordon, tribute to his memory from
the State of Georgia, was unveiled today in
capitol park. Many persons of prominence,
including scores of veterans who served
under General Gordon, attended the cere-
monies of dedication. The parade of mill
tary fraternal and civic organizations was
one of the largest ever seen in Atlanta. The
statue represents General Gordon on his
favorite charger, his hat dotfed. The like
ness is pronounced most marvelOusly life
like by the members OF General Gordon's
family and all those who knew the great
Georgian intimately.
The bronze figure is mounted upon mag
niicent granite base weighing 20 tons. In
addition to the inscriptions the base bears
two bronze tablets in bas-relief. One of the
tablets represents General Gordon as gov
ernor, United States senator and orator.
The other tablet is representation of the
memorable engagement of May 18th, on
which occasion General Gordon saved thelife
of General Robert E. Lee.
A few years ago Gen. Gordon lectured in
this city and was entertained in Memorial
Hall by Thomas Fl. Marshall Post, G. A. R.,
when the boys in blue fraternized readily
with the distinguished Confederate General

Geo. G. Matthews, of Marion. This
bill has created a somewhat lively in
terest and it has been very difficult
to obtain a copy of it. The bill in
full is as follows:
An act to prohibit to giving a re-
bate, special rate, or drawback, by
any common carrier, or any officer,
agent, or employee thereof, doing
business in the State of Florida; or
the receiving of same by any person,
persons of corporation.
BE it enacted by the Legislature
Of the State of Florida. -
Sec. 1. That if any common car
rier, engaged in business as such in
the State of Florida, or any officer,
agent or employe thereof, shall, dir
ectly or indirectly, by any special
rate, rebate, drawback, or other de-
vice. charge, demand, collect or re-
ceive from any corporation, person
or persons, greater or less eompen-
sation for any service rendered, or
to be rendered, in the Transportation
of passengers of property, than such
common carrier charges, demands,
collects or receives from any other
corporation, person or persons for do
ing it for him or her or them, like
and contemporaneous service in the
transportation of a like kind of
traffic. under substantially similar
circumstances and conditions, such
common carrier, officer, agent, or
employee shall be guilty Of unjust
discrimination. which is hereby pro-
hibited and declared to be unlawful.
And it shall be unlawful for any cor
poratiOn, person 70 persons, to receive
an sum OF money, rebate, or other
thing of value, directly or Indirectly,
tha' is prohibited to be given charg-
ed, demanded, collected or received,
by this act.
''kct. Any common carrier or
corporation violating any provision or
provisions of Section one of this act,
shall upon conviction thereof by
court of competent jurisdiction, be
fined not less than one thousand dol
lars, nor more than twenty-five thou
sand dollars, and any officer, agent or
employee of such corporation, or any
other person. violating the provisions
of this act, shall, upon conviction by
court of competent Jurisdiction, be
deemed guilty of a felony and con-
fined in the State prison for a term
of not exceeding five years.
There has very naturally been con-
siderable discussion here relative to
Senator NeWlan's successor. Until
Governor Broward's proclamation of
yesterday morning calling a special
election for May to fill the vacancy,
it was contended by many able law
yers that the constitution did not
provide for the special election dur
ing a legislative session; others dis

been beseiging the various legislators
since their arrival, and last night held
a conference with Mr.. Decker, the
one member of the Hillsborough de-
legation who is pronounced in favor
of the division. Opposed to them is
the vanguard of the committee ap-
pointed Saturday by the Tampa
Board of Trade to come to Tallahas-
see, and fight what one of the Tampa
papers characterizes as an attack on
the county by "Vandals," the van
guard being none other than Col
Peter o. Knight, the shrewdest poll
tician in South Florida. certainly,
doubtless in the State, who arrived
yesterday afternoon. Others are ex-
pected later. Hon. Robert w. Davis,
now attorney for the Board of Public
Works of Tampa, is also here, hav-
ing arrived yesterday afternoon, but
he states positively that he is not to
take any part in the county division
question, being here solely for the
purpose of securing certain legisla-
ton which is desired by the body he
represents.
While mainly local question, the
division of Hillsborough county as
proposed is of general interest be-
cause this is the year in which the
decennial apportionment of the MEM
bers of the legislature must be made,
or rather, which the constitution says
should be made. The creation of St
Lucie county two years ago increased
the membership of the legislature to
101, with the result that one county
which now has two representatives
must be content with one only when
the shake up occurs. The creation
OF the proposed new county of Pinel-
las would. of course, deprive some
other one county of a representative,
in order to keep within the constitu-
tional bounds 1t is not likely that
more than six or seven counties are
in danger OF losing a representative

SeabOard Train Yesterday
Morning
Jacksonville Metropolis.)

There was an exciting time on the
Seaboard passenger train arriving
here from West Florida points this
morning. The excitement was due
to the arrest of burglar, and the
escape of his pal, who were passen-
gers on the train.
Last night the safe in Scarborough
& Co.'S store in River Junction was
blown open and robbed. The money
in the safe, about $500, was stolen,
and also a quantity of clothing. The
River Junction authorities telegraph
ed to every town along the line of
the Seaboard to look out for the rob-
bers- Sheriff Purvis, of Columbia
county, got on the train at Madison,
and there he was notified to lookout
for the burglars, as two white men
suspected of being the parties who
blew the safe at River Junction, 1t
had been learned, had taken the train
from there this morning, and at Tai
lahassee one of them purchased two
tickets to Jacksonville.

through the creation of a new county,
since only about that many are onSAe
border land between one representa-
tive. the constitutional minimum,
and two, which they might under
some circumstances be allowed. The
great majority of the counties are
clearly entitled either to one, two or
three representatives, on the face of
their population, going by the spirit
of the constitution. and here are
very few which are On the anxious
seat as between one representative
and two. But those few counties
will doubtless fight any proposition
to create new counties until after the
apportfonment bill is passed or kill
ed. And this is what makes the
Hillsborough county family row an
issue of State wide Importance.
The House Committee On Rules,
of which Hon. Mr.. Farris, of Duval,
is chairman, reported yesterday
morning. recommending the adoption
of rules of 1905, with a number of
changes, which was agreed to IN
animously. A resolution was also
passed. introduced by Mr.. Reese, of
Escambia. providing that before any
committee shall report unfavorably
on bill or resolution. they shall give
the introducer of it a chance to be
heard.
A resolution introduced by Mr..
knight, of Citrus, passed the House
unanimously, requesting Rev Craw-
ford Jackson, of Atlanta, to address
the House this evening on the sub
ject of Juvenile Reform, and inviting
the attendance of the Senate and
the public. DR.. Jackson lectured at
the Presbyterian church Sunday night
to large union meeting. giving the
first of a series of talks upon this
subject, in which he is leading
figure in the South. The lecture to-
night will deal with Judge Lindsey's
Juvenile court in Denver. Colorado.
The Sunday night meeting was at
tended by Governor Broward, mem
bers of the cabinet, and a large enum-
Der of the legislators.
Another bucket shop bill, as it will
be called, was introduced by Mr..
knight, of Columbia. This is the
second measure introduced so far to
prevent specializing in futures. There
was no oratory yesterday morning,
and after the introduction OF the bills
and various resolutions, the House
adjourned until 10 o'clock this morn
ing. The various committees to
which bills have been referred are
getting down to work and several
Senate and House committees held
meetings yesterday afternoon and last

Spotted on the Train.

The two men were spotted by Pur-
Wis, who kept the matter quiet. The
suspects rode in different coaches, so
as to divert suspicion. One of them
had several suit cases, while the other
only carried a small grip. At Lake
City. just as the train pulled into the,
depot Sheriff Purvis informed the
Jacksonville officers that he was GO
ing TO make an arrest, and asked
their assistance. One of the sus-
poets was covered by Purvis with his
pistol, and made to surrender, being
taken completely by surprise How
ever while all this was being done,
the captured robbers pal was max
ing a hurried exit from the other
coach, and succeeded in getting away.

Had Burglars Outfit.

The man captured was taken to the
Columbia county Jail in Lake City and
locked up. He was searched at the
depot, and large sum of money was
found upon him, and is believed to
be part of that stolen from the store
of Scarborough & Co. A complete kit
of burglars tools, and those used in
blowing safes were found on the
prisoner. He also had in his posses
sion lot of the goods stolen from
the store.

Detective CahOOn Talks.

Detective Cahoon, arriving here
from Pensacola this morning, where
he went to deliver young Church to
the Navy Department, he being a
deSerter. said today that If Sheriff
Purvis had told him and Officer Jones
that the two suspected burglars were
on the train. both could have been
captured without any trouble. On
the way to Jacksonville the train was
thoroughly searched for the escaping
rOber, but could not be found. A
good description of him has been OBJ
tanned, and it won't be safe for him
to come to Jacksonville. These are
believed to be the same robbers who
blew a safe in Pensacola last week
The following telegram regarding
the robbery was received today
