Crop Statistics.

Some one has been playing a joke
on our good friend John A. Crosby O.
San Mateo. Mr.. Crosby is editor o
the San Mateo Item and also mem
Der OF the citrus fruit statistical com
mlttee of the Florida Horticultural
Society. AS such he is attempting
TO gather statistics of the citrus fruit
yield by counties and localities
which he is publishing in sections
from week to week. Last week he
published what some one has in
formed him to be the yield of the
Crescent City Section for last season
and this-by individual growers.
Not over one-half the growers or
groves are mentioned, and many of
them would not recognize who was
intended by the names given. For
instance w. F. Glynn is mentioned
as "Wm. Glenn" of Boston. 1t would
probably surprise Mr.. Glynn to know
that he had but 500 boxes last year
and that he will have but 1000 this.
He has just gone over his grove
carefully and has estimated his crop
at $500 boxes. 1t will probably sur
prise Mr.. A. p. DeWolf to know that
he has 5Oo boxes more this year than
last. He has all along been laboring
under the impression that his crop
this year is much smaller than last
year. L. A. Hurlbut, according to
the statistics, had 1000 boxes last
year and is credited with the same
number this. OF course little mat
ter of thousand or more boxes one
way or the other in statistics will
not affect Mr.. Hurlbut's income. NV.
f." Buck is 400 boxes better. These
are only few of the sample items
that some one has imposed on Mr..
Crosby. 1t is too bad. Mr.. Crosby
is doing his best to secure statistics
that will have n value. They can't
have that withouta show of accuracy.
His attempt shows the futility of
trying to do the work through cor
respondence.
For the encouragement of Mr..
Crosby the News will state that of
the items presented, nearly, if not
quite one-half of them are ac-
curate, or in line with generally
known estimates of owners and eX-
pert estimators like j. B. SILVER and
others. The other half will have no
value whatever, for the reason that
it has no show of accuracy.
Then fully one-half of the growers in
and about Crescent City are not

Geo. w. Carpenter Dead.

The News has received copies o.
the Port Chester, IN. " Daily Rec.
ord and the Daily Item, each con.
tanning extended notices of the death
of Mr.. Geo. w. Carpenter, a promi'
nent citizen of that town. Mr. Car.
penter in former years spent a part
of several winters in Crescent City
and was guest at Grove Hall. Dur
ing his stay here he came into close
touch with many of our citizens and
all were charmed with him. His
death is greatly deplored by all his
old friends here. Mr., Carpenter was
a contractor and his firm was the
largest concern of its kind in the sec
tion of country where located. He
once owned large part of the Pali-
sades, opposite New York, from
which he was taking stone until the
site was purchased by the states of
New York and New Jersey. Mr..
Carpenter had been lifelong dem
ocrat and always had IL deep interest
in the affairs of his town.
The Daily Item says of him:
The late Mr.. Carpenter was one of
the best known citizens in the town,
and was held in the greatest of es-
TEEN by everyone that knew him.
He numbered his friends by the
thousand. He was one of the most
successful business men that the
town boasts of. and was actively en-
gagged in real estate matters up to
the time of his last illness. He was
a self-made man and won his success
by hard, painstaking work and keep
ing abreast with progressive ideas.
The Daily Record also pays the
following tribute to the deceased:
In the death of George Washing
ton Carpenter, which occurred at
one O'Clock yesterday afternoon at
his late residence on King street,
there passes from our midst a most
valued and highly esteemed either,
aud while his many friends were
somewhat prepared through his long
and continued illness, the news Of his
death was nevertheless a shock.
George Washington Carpenter was
in way remarkable man; placed
as boy on his own resources, he
carved his way into prominence
through persistent effort, and at his
death was possessed of considerable
property, while at the same time he
held the respect and love of all who
knew him. He was honest, straight
forward and upright, splendid type
of man and citizen.

The oriain of the Word EiIihustsr

The origin Of the Word FiIibuster.
The name "buccaneer" was chiefly
affected by the English Adventures on
our coast, while the French members
of the profession often preferred the
name of "fibustier." This word, which
has since been corrupted into our ia
miliar 'filibuster," is said to have been
originally corruption, being nothing
more than the French method of pro-
nouncing the word "freebooters,"
which title had long been used for in
dependent robbers.

HOUSE OF COMMONS
Adjourned Thursday Afternoon-Lone
Night Session Wore Out
Members.

London, March 21-The house of
commons adjourned this afternoon at
5:35 o'clock, having been in contin-
uous session nearly 27 hours. The
session began at PAS o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The measure under
discussion was the annual army bill,
which the government was anxious to
pass through the committee stage.
The opposition fought it throughout
the night, and repeatedly, but unsuc-
cessfully, attempted to secure an ad-
iournment. Many members dozed
on the benches, their sleep interrupt
ed by demands every few minutes to
attend divisions. Even ministers were
occasionally overcome and dozed.
Daylight found the assembly, many
in evening dress. tired. but deter
mined as ever and with sufficient en-
ergy to appreciate the occasion flashes
of humor introduced into the dis
cussion of the bill. The government
whip telegraphed early this morning
to some 200 members to hasten to
the house Of commons and relieve the
jaded government supporters.
The arrival of the relief forces put
fresh life into the proceedings.
