Tines Union Short Talks says: estate
Superintendent of Education Holloway
in his biennial report makes a good
point against the Legislature when he
says: The section of the Constitution
of Florida which has reference to pub
lie education says the Legislature shall
provide for a uniform system of public
schools, and shall provide for their lib
eral maintenance Whatever may be
the intent of the law, it has not Oper-
ated to effect the liberal maintenance
of the schools. The Constitution does
not say adequate or ample. 1t says
liberal, and liberal it should be-. His
remark that if the man who gets only
ten dollars a month is worth no more
then he has no business teaching, is
just one. 1t is not alone that the State
exploits the labor of teachers, who are
necessarily an educated class, most
shamefully, but it gives the helpless
children of the State body of discour-
aged instructors to lead them through
the mazes of learning"

Much important business was trans
acted at the city council meeting last
night, and a nice street sprinkler was
provided for and will soon be put in
use.
Isn't it peculiar that even when a
woman earns a larger salary than her
brother, or does better in business than
her husband, both husband and brother
will still persist in telling her how she
ought to do things in the business
world? And isn't it equally peculiar
that the woman always listens?- Wom-

ConRressional Campaian.

The congressional campaign in this
district is fairly on and things may be
expected to warm up by degrees daily,
or weekly, now until we get into one of
the Warmest races ever known i'm Flor
ida. Read the following in the Wash.
ington County Verdict:
'Tis said that the coming campaign
between Hon. j. Walter Kehoe and
Hon. W. b. Lamar, in the second con-
gressiOnal district of Florida, will be
the most interesting waged in Florida
politics for a long time Surely Wash
ington county will come in for its share
of attention during the time the candi-
dates are on the stump This county
stood third in the last general election
in number of votes polled, being sur
passed only by Escambia and jackson
counties. Both gentlemen have hosts
of friends here and throughout the
county. 1t is hard to predict just how
the county will go on election day. The
congressman has been on the ticket be-
fore and many will remember it when
they see it again. Mr.. Kehoe has been
before the people constantly as State s
attorney in this circuit, and has won
the admiration and esteem of many by
his earnest and close application Of his
attention to his duty as public officer.
He has made no enemies, even among
those whom he prosecuted in discharg-
ing his duty"

In art, as in all things. a certain nui- ance-an abyss-separates excellence from greatness.

Turn round-that is tho Night Watch, it Is Rembrandt You utter a cry. There fs greatness. Ex- eeIlence has vanished You cannot even look again at the other painting.

AUBURN, x. Y., July 29.-Nine per sons lost their lives and many were in jured when the steamboat Frontenac, carrying fifty passengers and crew of twelve. was burned to the waters edge on Lake Cayuga Saturday afternoon.
 All the victims were children or wom- en, and nearly all were drowned after jumping in the lake in a frenzied at tempt to escape.
 One child certainly was burned to death.
 fhe dead are: Miss Abel. six years old. of South Rloomingburg. N. Y; Lida Bennett. Frankfort. \. Y.; Stella Clinton. Ithaca. N. Y; Carl Genung. aged seven. and his mother. Mrs. Ho- mer Genung. Freeville, \. Y.: Celia MCCleary, Cohoes. Y. T., a summer student at Cornell; Maretta Sullivan, Syracuse, N. r., and two unidentified women.
 Three were Cornell co-eds, who were i at the summer school. ] The Fr0ntenac. a three deck paddle wheel steamboat, accommodating 400 passengers. ran regularly between l Cayuga and Ithaca. on the lake, but { recently she had been plying between ! Cayuga and Sheldrake. ] She was returning from Sheldrake. and when near FarIey's point fire was discovered on deck around the smoke stack
 Captain Brown and tue crew quickly found that the fire was mastering them and. displaying admirable brav- cry and coolness. ordered the pilot to beach the Froatenac. and all afiame she was headed for Union Springs. the nearest point Of land.
 Accusations of cowardice on the part of many men passengers on board have been made.
 Before the boat grounded the flames were so close to the passengers hud- ding aft that Captain Brown ordered them as a last desperate chance to leap overheard. He followed. the last person to leave the boat. Then it was that most of the victims were drowned. All of the bodies were recovered close to the shore.
 Miss MOtt's body was the last to bs picked up. A motor boat owned by Arthur Post of CtiCa struck the body. and the propeller blades caught the head.
 The fire was discovered by a small boy, who was one of the passengers

TRIUMPH FOR NATION, HE CLAIMS
Southern Railway Agrees to Put Low Passenger Rate In Force by Aug. S-All Prosecutions Are
 Withdrawn.

RALEIGH, N. C., July 29.-A sweep ing victory has been won by the state of North Carolina in its fight to con- pei the railroads to obey the recently enacted law making it crime to charge a passenger rate of more than 2A cents a mile
 AS a result of a three hour confer ence with Governor Glenn, counsel for both the Southern railway and the At lantic Coast Line signed an agreement that the two and quarter cent rate shall be made effective not later than Aug. 8. The agreement between the two railroads and the state provides:
 First.-The railroad to put the two and a quarter cent rate into effect not later than Aug. 8, 1907. ~
 Second.-The state to appeal from the order of Judge Pritchard discharg- ing parties in Asheville on writs of habeas corpus.
 Third.-The Southern railway to ap- peal to the supreme court of North Carolina in the Wake county case and if the case is there decided against it to take the case by writ of error to the supreme court of the United States.
 Fourth.-Both sides to cooperate to have both of said cases advanced and argued together and speedily deter mined.
 Fifth.-The state at its option to in- dict the Atlantic Coast Line in one case.
 Sixth.-All indictments and prosecu- tions now pending to be dismissed and no other indictments or prosecutions to be instituted for any alleged viola tions of the law up to the time the new two and a quarter cent rate is put into effect under this arrangement as far as the governor can control the same
 This agreement disposes of all the cases now pending in the police courts of Asheville and other places where agents of the Southern road were ar. rested and jailed.
 When the conference terminated news of the triumph of Governor Glenn spread quickly. and when he emerged there was great crowd waiting tC cheer and congratulate him. One of the first to reach his side was Dr Vann, the armless president of the Baptist University For Women.
 Governor Glenn said:
 Persistent efforts on my part to en force the state law. denunciation oi federal interference. the feeling of our people. the rightfulness of our course a refusal tos surrender our claim oi states rights and a threat to call ar extra term of the legislature all con tributed to our victory. It is a victory for states rights and means much fol the nation at large"
