ready spread to the towns of Alexand-
ria Lafayette and Lake Charles and to
intermediate territory. This ant cares
for and permits the increase of almost
every species of plant louise and scale
insect, and as the indirect result OF its
presence thousands of trees ana
| plants in the city of New Orleans have
already been killed. The ant does
not confine itself to facilitating the
increase of other injurious insects, but
is itself injurious. The present spring
it has destroyed the entire prospective
orange crop at Audubon Park by eat
ing the fruit buds. and last year was
the cause of heavy losses to orange
growers through Plaquemines and
adjacent parishes. 1t is also guilty of
causing the increase OF the 'pOO-a-
push an insect very injurious to
sugar cane. Unless measures are
found for the control of this pest the
orange industry of the State is doomed,
and eventually the success of the
sugar cane industry will be threatened
by it. All fruit Industries will suffer
from its presence. AS it destroys or
drives out all native species of ants,
its appearance in the cotton fields Is
likely to result in increased damage
by the boil weevil. The most active
enemy which the boil weevil has in
Louisiana is the small fire ant and
the latter is likely to be exterminated
or driven out of the cotton fields by
the New Orleans ant We have no
funds with which to inaugurate an in
vestigation of this pest or to find
methods of control. but unless steps
are taken very shortly against this
pest the agricultural interests of the
State will pay toll to it to the extent
of hundreds of thousands of dollars"

Nothing would have amazed Mr..
Lincoln more than to hear himself
called a man Of letters, and vet II
would be hard to find in all literature
anything to excel the brevity and beau
ty of his address at Gettysburg or the
lofty grandeur of his second inaugural.
In Europe his style has been called a
model for the study and imitation OF
princes, while in our own country
many of his phrases have already pass
ed into the daily speech of mankind.
His gift of putting things simply and
clearly was partly the habit of his own
clear mind and partly the result Of the
training he gave himself in days of
boyish poverty, when paper and ink
were luxuries almost beyond his reach
and the words he wished to set down
must be the best words and the clear
est and shortest to express the ideas
he had in view. This training Of
thought before expression, of knowing
exactly what he wished to say before
saying it, stood him in good stead ali
his life, but only the mind Of a great
man with a lofty soul and a poets
vision, one who had suffered deeply
and felt keenly, who carried the bur-
den Of a nation on his heart, whose
sympathies were as broad and whose
kindness was as great as his moral
purpose was strong and firm, could
have written the deep. forceful, con-

in the later years Of his life. 1t was

Shortly Before Midnight
From Mobile.

The new packet Sun, which started
from Memphis several weeks ago
and which has been under repairs al

passing up the river, reached port
last night shortly before midnight in
command of Capt. Frank A Boghich,
and was moored at the Tarpon land.
ing.
The Sun made fine trip from Mo
bile to Pensacola. She left the for
mer port about noon yesterday and
was moored before midnight in Pen
sacola. Captain Boghich stated last
night after his arrival here that a
very heavy fog was experienced pass
ing down from Mobile, but after
striking the gulf good weather was
encountered and excellent time made
on the trip.
The new steamer, which is owned
by the Milton Transportation Com
pany. is stern wheel vessel, but has
excellent accommodations, being built
for the trade on the Mississippi riv-
er. The cabin is elegantly fitted and
she is equipped with all modern con-
veniences. The steamer contains
about twenty state rooms and has
good freight carrying capacity
On board the vessel last night were
Capt. Rouse and his son, Captain jim
mic Rouse. The latter will command
the vessel, but it is expected that be-
fore she commences her runs between
Pensacola and Milton and up the
Blackwater river that she will go on
the dock to be painted as this could
not be done in Mobile.

GRAND LODGE OF
MASONS TO MEET
ANNUAL MEETING WILL BE HELD
IN JACKSONVILLE NEXT
WEEK.

The next grand communication OF
the Grand Lodge of Free and Accept
ed Masons of Florida will be held in
Jacksonville next week. the opening
session being held Tuesday, January
Is, and continuing for three days, says
the Jacksonville Times-Union.
At this session of the grand lodge
one of the most important matters
that will come up for action will be
the report of the Masonic building
committee relative to the erection Of
new Masonic temple. The build
ing committee, it is understood, holds
the title to the magnificent lot on the
southeast corner of Main and Monroe
streets, Immediately in front Of the
Duval theatre, and the plans as pre-
viously announced will be TO recon-
mend the erection of an eight story
structure with arcades from the street
to the entrance to the theatre.
At the last meeting of the grand
lodge the entire matter relative to the
erection of this proposed building was
referred TO the subordinate lodges.
Each lodge is supposed to have in
structed its representatives to the
grand lodge as to its action and the
majority Of the lodges will no doubt
decide the matter. which is consider.
ed of great importance.
The building committee has been
trying for a long time to secure fav'
orable action on the plan proposed by
it and large number of members OF
the order here are heartily in favor
of the erection of new Masonic tenn
pie in a more control location than the
present temple on the corner Of
Bridge and Forsyth streets. 1t is be-
lieved that the present building can
be sold for a handsome sum and that
the proceeds will go a long way to-
ward paying for the new structure,
should ii be decided to erect the build
ing as proposed on the site mention
ed.
The delegates, or representatives,
to the grand lodge will begin arriving
in the city next Monday and It is ex-
pected that the grand lodge will be
largely attended this year.

Congressman BarthoIdi.

Congressman Bartholdi, of Nilsson
ri, has announced plan for the per-
manent and adequate improvement
of the rivers and harbors of the coun-
try. His idea is the issue of five
hundred millions of bonds, TO be dis
tributed over a period of say ten
years, the proceeds to be applied to
the purpose desired. Whatever may
be the settled details of the PROPOSE
ton there is no doubt that the inter
ests of the country would be greatly
forwarded by the expenditure of such
sum and IN about the annual pro-
portion suggested. With the harbors
and the water ways of the country
improved adequately it would be i'm
possible to have a recurrence of the
existing congestion of traffic.-Tampa

He finally answers that he will not.

The only reason he will not, he

GREAT GLACIERS
ARE RECED|NG
Great Muir Glacier Has Re-
coded a Distance of Five
Miles Since 1889.
SpeclaI TO The journal.

SpSCtdl 10 nc SCuTndls
Washington, JAN 1.-THE Geologi-
cal Survey investigations reveal the
curious fact that the great glaciers
in Glacier Bay, Alaska. are receding.
The work was conducted by Messrs.
G. W. and F. E. Wright, assisted by
Mr.. W. R. Pumpelly of the Geological
Survey Department, and after having
spent season in Southeastern Alaska
they have furnished a very valuable
report on their investigations.
In the course of their report the
members of the survey state that
with few exceptions the glaciers are
all receding, the fact being especially
noticeable at Muir, the best known of
Alaskan glaciers. The front Of this
stream which was confined to a mar
row neck during the last decade has
receded, since 1899, a distance of five
or six miles to much broader portions
in the inlet, so that the present ice
front, instead of being two miles
across, forms a semi-circle nearly sew
en- miles around. This recession has
been attributed to the earthquake of
1899, which may have had some eff
feet upon the glacier, but the chief
cause of the remarkable retreat is IN
doubtedly due to its recession into the
much wider portion of the inlet, thus
exposing a far broader ice front to
the action of tidal currents.
The seasons work completed in a
general way the geologic mapping of
the mainland coast and the islands
of Southeastern Alaska. During the
survey new mineral belts were dis
covered and deposits of non-metalics
such as gypsum, marble and granite
were studied with view to ascertain
ing their economic value.

IMPORTS OF RAW COTTON

London, Jan. 1.-THE imports OF
raw cotton into the United Kingdom

first eight months of 1906 were &c.,
$50, 900 less than during the same
months of 1905, but s7,953,100 more
than during the same months Of

The decrease in the American prod

congratulated themselves upon having
won victory that meant something.
But the courts say that the relation
