BEG TO BE EXCUSED.

The editor of the Appeal has re-
ceived a circular from an association
in Boston asking him to assist in ad-
vocating the immediate repairing Of
the old Alhambra n Spain which is
now falling into a state of decay.
While we regret exceedingly that this
poetic structure is on the retreat, our
regrets are not apt TO take a very
practical turn.
Keeping the tin roo Of the Appeal
office in place during the recent Sc
we're gales absorbs most of our sur
plus energy and cash. We intend 10
go over some day and build a bran
new Alhambra. This seems to US
| much better than repairing the old
one. But we are too busy just now
| to take the time.
We refer the entire matter to the
GOldfield Chamber Of Commerce
They have plenty of loose money tc
fix the old thing up and if they once
start in they will do it.

She Fooled the Condutor.

1t is almost impossible to imagine the
feelings of the young woman who had
that awful experience at the seashore
a little while ago, and which she never
intended to tell about. Somebody did
tell about il though. Must have been
somebody there who knew her. If
there was and he or she did not go to
her rescue, then all we've got TO say is
that he or she was about as mean as a
man or woman ever gets to be. 1t was
all because she wanted to acquire a
nice coat of tan so she could prove she
had been summering by the sad sea
waves. She didn't have as long TO stay
as she would have liked to have had.
If there had been more time, or posi-
bly 1t was money she needed, she would
not have had TO rush things and put
herself in the position where such a
thing could have happened II seems
that she got into about the scantiest
attire she could, and then dispCrted
herself about on the sand in the sun in
a way to secure the heaviest coat of tan
possible in the shortest possible time.
She wanted 70 make good job Of IL
and she did She was eminently sue
cessful and she was proud Of her JOB.
She was browner than the traditional
berry. She was like the man in the old
popular war time song who grew so
drefFul tanned he tried 10 fool the Yam
KEGS into thinkin' he was n contra
band" She fooled the conductor on
the train on which she Travelled back TO
her home in Virginia. They run jim
crow cars on this particular road, and
when she took her place in the first
class coach she was told that she would
have TO 20 into the car assigned for
her race" She protested, and lost her
temper. and then she cried, but all to
no avail. That conductor knew what
he was there for, and he didn't propose
10 allow any coon" TO ride in the
white folks car on his train Into the
Jim crow car she had TO GO, and the
only way she got out Of the scrape was
10 telegraph TO her home and geta mes
sage from some one who knew her that
would satisfy that conductor that she
was tanned and not mulatto. Wasn't
that just awful ? Woman's National

OrpAanaGs Day.

The first Saturday in October is always
Orphanage Day, and soon the day will
be here. The help received from the
first Saturday in October, 1906, was
very gratifying. And now we ask that
everybody who is interested in the Or
phanage at Arcadia will give as the
earnings of one day, the first Saturday
in October, 1907, for this work. Please
do not forget or neglect it. We now
have fifty-two children to feed, clothe
and educate. Mr.. w. H. Hooker, our
legislator, has made it his business for
years to see everybody IN Arcadia and
secure g contribution on the first Sat
urday in October, spending the whole
day in the work. Last year he brought
us three hundred dollars for the day.
We ask that some man or lady in every
town in Florida do similar work for the
Orphanage. Please try to interest
every one, regardless OF denomination,
to put in his or her business the largest
days work they ever did, and send the
gifts to me at Arcadia The home is
for poor white orphans of the State,
irrespective of religious creeds Of ma
tionSlity." Give your days earnings,
your estimated income, and make it
large glad day for the poor.
We ask that Sunday Schools and
churches help in fully advertising the
day, and that Sunday School Superin-
tendents and pastors interest their
churches and schools, and do every
thing reasonable to get a contribution
from every one. We will thank the
editors Of all our papers in the State if
they will advertise the day, the first
Saturday in October. We sincerely
hope for large help. Send amounts to

FLORIDA STATE
REFORM SCHOOL
DR.. ]. n. Taylor, Of Jacksonville, to
be Superintendent.

News comes from Jacksonville to the
effect that DIR. ]. N. Taylor, of that
place, has been offered the Superinten-
dency of the State Reform School at
Mariana, and has taken the matter
under advisement. In this, may be
seen the influence Of Hon. John c.
L'Engle, of Duval county, who has been
a member of the board of managers of
the school since its establishment, and
has been devoted to its interests
throughout a period of captious opposi-
ton and innumerable obstacles serious
enough to discourage the most deter
mined of men.
The school was first established on a
basis of payment of 500 per year by
each county on each inmate sent, but
many of the counties, following the ex-
ample of Duval, refused TO comply with
the law. At the last session of the
legislature a fiat appropriation of Sl0,-
coo was made for the support of the
school, besides So, 600 for improvements
and SO, 900 to cover existing indebted
ness.
The board of managers consists Of
DR.. John c. l. Engle, of Jacksonville /;
NJ. l.. Dekle and Hon. w. H. Milton.
Jr.. of Mariana Hon l.. Reeves, of
Pensacola, and Hon. w. l.. Palmer, of
Orlando.
The promise of increased usefulness
for this excellent and indispensable in
stituton involved in the prospect of
having it in charge of such a man as
DR.. Taylor, cannot be overestimated.
DR.. Taylor has devoted large part of
his life to the care of friendless or way
ward boys, and has large and valuable
to rely upon in the work of
reforming juvenile offenders against the
law. His success in this line of effort
is we'll known, and his connection with
the school will constitute a guaranty of
its successful and humane operation.

AI--speciaI Privileges None


We are glad to notice that several Of
our State contemporaries are protest
ing with The Metropolis against send
| ing children from Florida to other
States to be educated. The protests
may not work any change, and there is
no law against sending the children
away, but those doing it create the inn
preston abroad that the school system
in this State is inferior to that of 9TH
er States, when in fact, it is much bet
ter than that Of many. Everything
possible is done to make OUR schools
meet the conditions necessary. Liberal
! appropriations made, good instructors
employed, buildings and rules are nota-
bic features of the system, and those
who are engaged in school work in Flor
ida are constantly trying to better con-
ditiOns for education. A large tax is
public schools. Many of those parents
who pay part of this school tax aetu-
ally impose upon themselves a double
tax by sending children away, mourning
additional expense and securing nothing
for the tax paid at home. We're these
parents or guardians singled out and
double taxed for educational purposes,
the protests would be vigorous and nu-
merous, when in reality these same
persons are voluntarily paying it with
out compulsion, and, we might say
without necessity.
We are told by railroad men that
they are now transporting many boys
and girls to other States to attend
schools, more, perhaps, than in any
previous year. OF course some parents
have inducements to send their children
to places TO be taught by relatives and
at famous educational institutions, but
these are few. Most of them pay for
tuition, board, transportation and other
incidental expenses, which amount to a
considerable sum within year. A low
ing parent can never be as well salts
fed with his children being away from
him as he would were they at home.
Sickness, discomfort, the disadvantage
of being unacquainted, and many other
things are thus probably thrust upon
children sent away from home. 1t is
also said that many of the children edu-
Gated away from home lose their affec-
tion for home and relatives, and be-
come more attached and interested in
other people and places
The Metropolis hopes that the Press
of the State will assist in stopping this
growing tendency to ignore our home
schools and recognize those abroad. If
there is anything wrong with our State
school system let it be pointed out and
remedies applied. Stand by home and
home institutions, and inculcate in all
people that love that high regard nee
essary to a happy commonwealth. -

ImatlnafLon Ind pIneaaa.

Mrs Annie Hennessey, Of Second
Avenue, went in the dark the other
night to the household medicine chest.
BY mistake she drank from bottle
containing a mild solution Of cakbpllo
acid. The taste burned her, antka4f1I
she had struck light she saw BY the
label that she had taken poison.
When the doctor came he examined
the bottle and decided that the solution
was so weak and the amount che had
taken was so small that the dose could
not do any great harm. He so told
Mrs. Hennessey, but she insisted that
she was poisoned She had heard Of
read somewhere about the effect OF car
bolc acid and she actually felt all the
symptoms which she recalled. Anti
dotes were administered and the doctor
proceeded IA II it were case of real
carbolic poisoning, but Mrs. Hennessey
died in agony.
She was not killed 10y carbOlic acid.
The doctor reported that that was im-
possible. What did kill her was her
imagination. n
The effect Of imE Eination Utmost
all cases Of sickness is just bek inning
TO be adequately recognized. A man
cannot break his leg by the most actiYo
use of his imagination, but in fevers,
mental troubles, and even digestive and
lung ailments, the power Of the imagi-
nation is greater than the effect e
medicinal drugs. In such cases people
die or get we'll greatly as they them
selves decide. Some people when they
are the least bit i'll let all their thoughts
dwell upon their sickness, magJt he
symptoms and grow worse anA lssIhR.
The opposite kind of patient ddcides his
illness does not amount to anything,
goes about his affairs and thinks Of
something else.
Faith cures, healing by inspiration,
health by will power and the like, are
often more substantial remedies than
the public thinks, simply by reason Of the
power of imagination over the body.
