Delightful Florida.

From Dover, N. j., to st. Petersburg,
in southern Florida, is long distance
jump even In the lecture business, but
made it lately and shall never regret
it-snow, ice and heavy overcoats in
Dover; peach blossoms, orange bios
SONS, roses, fresh vegetables, linen
suits. straw hats and fans inesouthern
Florida. Florida is not only land OF
flowers, but it is a land of wonders and
Of wonderful possibilities. Ponce de
Leon never realized his gorgeous and
fascinating dream of discovering the
tabled fountain Of perpetual youth, but
Americans are finding there health,
happiness, comfort and wealth. Flori-
da now has a population of something
over 100000 souls. The great puzzle
to one who has seen it and heard the
unimpeachable story of its marvellous
fertility is why 1t hasn't a population
Of 100000.
When lectured at St Petersburg
we were the guests of Hon. Joseph O..
Sibley, ex-congressman from Pennsyl-
vania, and his most estimable wife,
and when lectured at Gainesville we
were the guests of Representative Frank
Clark and his estlmable wife. The
recollection Of the generous hospitality
of these two families will rest upon Us
like benedietion all our lives
Sibley has purchased large tracts Of
land near st. Petersburg and is an en-
thuslast as to Florida's future. He
has orange and grape fruit groves some
In full bearing and some just planted
He is establishing a sort of agricultural
experiment station on his own hook to
test the productiveness Of the soil, es-
pecially in forage plants. It Is his
theory that even those parts Of Florida
which are called pine barrens can be
made to produce immense crops. He
says that about st. Petersburg as much
as a thousand dollars per acre has
been realized on strawberries.
At Gainesville an intelligent school,
ma am told me that one man had made

"a When Jetferson's Declaration
- Of independence was read at
Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, it was a
little leaven Of liberty placed in the
human heart which has been working
its wondrous works from that day to
this and which win continue to work
until there is no sort of government
save representative government in any
civilized country. OF course the Rus
sian douma is having tough time
getting itself started, but so had the
English parliament, the French assem-
bly, and the rest. The douma however,
will find its way to stand Cossacks
may dissolve it and ride 1t down few
times, but that douma will be there
finally doing the peoples work, and
the bloody C0ssacks will be eating
tamely out of its hand The latest
suggestion as to extending the repre-
sentative form of government in Eu-
rope is for Balkan federation to be

and Servia, with Prince Charles, son
Of King Charles of Roumania, at its
head. The hope is that later on Mace
donna and Albania would enter the con-
federacy, which would then possess
population and resources enough to
take an important position in Euro
pean affairs. All good people every
where will wish them success, even if
they retain the monarchical form of
government that is, fixed head with
an elective parliament or congress for
the Roumania princes have demon
strated fine qualities and great capac-
ity. The curse Of the Balkan people is
the jealousies of small and jangling
states.

College Bows Wanted.

More college trained men are want
ed in the service Of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and steps are being taken to
obtain them, : is the message now run
ming In eastern papers. Garry the
news to college men and college boys.
All these years and centuries they
have been hooted at as a lot Of imprac-
tical fellows fit only for the so called
learned professions, At last SO it ap-
pears, they are to be given chance
to show the world that that ancient
legend is a stupendous fable.

Foraker's Photos.

Many men of many minds. Many
ways of conducting a campaign. 1t is
said that as an aid to his presidential
boom Senator Joseph Burton Foraker
of Ohio has already invested $1,000 in
photographs of himself. a Mr.. Budd
Of California once elected himself to
congress by travelling in blackboard
and by painting in huge red letters on
every rock and mountain side this leg
end: "yote For Budd." And the people
liked his novel method so well that he
was sent to Washington, where he did
so well that he was soon elected gov
ernor of his state. Perhaps the photos
will turn the trick for Foraker.

Il Is COMING.

1t is Coming.
1t is coming What is coming? Elec.
ton of United States senators by the
people. That being impossible till the
federal constitution is amended, the
people are doing the next best thing
by nominating United States senators
at primary elections, thereby instruct
ing the legislatures. Missouri Is the
last state to wheel into line. Hereafter
all her officers, including United States
senators, will be nominated at primary
elections. It is worthy Of note that,
while the Republicans claim monop-
oily of intelligence, virtue, patriotism
and wisdom, it remained for southern
Democrats to devise the state primary
election as a method Of bringing all
elections close to the great body of the
people, and wherever tried 1t has work
ed like charm. South Carolina I'M
questionably possesses the most per
feet system, and all other systems will
finally approximate the South Carolina
standard.
It will be remembered that two OF
three times q resolution has passed the
federal house of representatives to sub
nit constitutional amendment for
the election Of United States senators
by direct vote Of the people. The SEN
ate has always killed it. but the house
will keep on passing it till the senate
agrees to 1t and the states ratify It. II
will be a great, far reaching reform,
worth all the trouble and labor which
It has cost or may cost. 1t win go far
toward eliminating the use of Doodle
and wire pulling in the election of sem
ators and will give the people a chance
to be represented in the senate as well
as in the house.

Bluff.

Now comes the steel trust and
threatens to shut down it's armor plate
plant unless the government buys
more armor plate of It! Wonder If il
hopes to scare anybody by such a man
ifesto as that If any federal official is
scared he ought to be impeached. Its
a bluff pure and simple. The trouble
with the trust is that 1t had been
charging two or three prices for plate
actually selling to Russia ct al. at
about three fourths Of the price II
charged us. Then the MidvaIe com
pany underbid the trust. The govern
ment nevertheless gave the big end Of
the contract to the trust, but notwith.
standing this outrage the price came
down somewhat, and the trust is sim
ply trying to force It up again. No
body cares II it does shut down its
plant.

coi1Dll v simple affair. But l
have often Wondered just how far the
duties of a letter carrier extend in the
delivering of mail Forinstance was
awakened the other morning by the
shrill blast of the postman's whistle
in the hall, followed by his stentorian
shouts for thompson! Thompson! =
1t was then 5 o'clock and as my occu-
patton entities me to sleep until at
least 10 a. m, i was naturally rather
annoyed, but the subsequent conversa-
ton gave me compensation in the way
of food for reflection.
From somewhere in the upper reg
ions of the house timid female voice
asked what is it?' in response to a
third and fourth blast of the whistle
and repeated demands for Thompson.
Package here for Thompson, bel
lowed the letter carrier at the foot of
the stairs.
Dear, me, what can l dor said
the female voice, almost pitifully.
do? Why, come down and get It..
You don't expect me to carry it up to
you, do you? howled the man in uni
form.
"'But, am very i'll and can't walk
down stairs said the feamle voice.
Can't you leave 1t on the stairs until
l can get some one to go down after
L it? I'm all alone
It's against the rules Numbered
the carrier. Do you want me to get
into trouble for leaving the United
States mail kicking around that way?
You'll have to come down, or else I'll
take it back
Just then another female voice was
heard 1t came from the woman liv-
ling on the second floor. If you'll give
me the package, I'll take it up to Mrs.
Thompson, and as she spoke she ran
down the stairs,
Well, l suppose its all right said
the carrier. grudgingly, but people
ought to be ready to take their mail
when It comes. And he took his de
parture. Is
"of course. it would be unfair to
expect letter carrier 70 climb to the
top of all the fats that arsFnot pro
vided with elevators. but on the othei
hand, isn't the one who receives the
mail entitled to some consideration !

From the Broadway 4 gazine.
The story of freak HAY party d,
Newport is only now going the rounds'
After hilarious time all around, the
wild day came to close.
Suddenly there was massing of
tile groups about the May pole. It
seemed as though a burst OF song
might arise and a bowling star
emerge. Instead, came a long and
piercing squeal, and pig, its sides
cleaning with grease, scampered
through the crowds and away over the
lawn. 1t darted hither and thither,
pursued by hallooing men and laugh
ing women; now eluding stout dow
ager who defied apoplexy and the laws
of gravity by making a clumsy clutch
at it; now bringing young clubman
to grief by making sudden dart be-
tween his legs. The sport was fast
and seemingly intending, but one de-
termined young matron fell on the
tired pig, and clutching him in her
arms, while he struggled greasily
among her Paris laces. carried him in
triumph to her hostess for the prize.
Soon after this a motron promi-
nent in the younger set turned her
Louise Seize dining room over to her
dogs to entertain their friends. Little
cards were sent out and each arriving
canine found at its place dinner
card on which its name and a verse
were inscribed.
In the center of the table a large
dog kennel of roses held a position of
honor. The dogs were waited on by
their mistresses and seryed plenti-
fully with champagne. At the conclu.
sion of the lunch their host, in the
person of his mistress, proposed a
toast to an old friend. Each dogs
forepaugh was placed on the table,
and at the pull of ribbon the dog
hOus efell to pieces, revealing stuff.

Whose huge tail, by some mechanical
contrivance, was made to shake and

among humans.
