A Valuable Water

The deep rock mineral water dis.
covered at Welaka something like a
year ago will now be put on the mar.
ket by an amply capitalized COM
pany to insure its successful intro
ductoion.
The we'll was the joint property OF
the town and DR.. A. d. Williams OF
Jacksonville, but the town has
granted its share to the new compa-
ny by franchise on condition that the
company build and equip bottling
works and bath house, for 80 years
The new company will be known
as the Welaka Mineral Water COM
pany and as such has duly been
granted letters patent. The capital
stock of the company is $4,000, OF
which $4,000 is paid in. The incor-
porators are d. U. Fletcher, Chas.
H. Mann, r. Walter Bennett and
DR.. A. d. Williams.
An analysis of the water made last
spring by Robert Spur Weston,
sanitary expert Of Boston, shows
the water to be natural remedy for
indigestion, constipation, liver and
kidney complaints, and baths in the
water are not only peculiarly re-
freshing but will cure in skin troub-
les.
The News believes this water will
eventually have national reputa-
ton rs II remedy of nature in the
above mentioned troubles of the hui
man race.
Those who have used it speak in
the highest terms of its efficacy.

The woman who had shopped until
the closing gong had sounded stood at
the transfer station and awaited the
suburban trolley.
"What," she YEARLY asked herself,
docs it profit a woman If she gain
the elusive bargain and loses every
trace Of physical freshness?
Presently the car came along. 1t
had the usual crowd of humanity, and
the woman resignedly prepared to
stand, when a grimy youth arose and
rendered her his place. Protesting
family, she sank into it guiltily and
registered vow never to shop over
time again.
In due time several seats were vacat-
ed, and the woman looked hopefully
toward her knight.
Jimmy" friend of his was saying,
there's room inside now. Why don't
you sit down"
And the last drop of discomfort was
added to the woman's cup of humilia-
ton when Jimmy responded:
Jaw, what's the use! No sooner I'll
get me legs stretched when another
tired old hen will get on and I'll have
to hop upP'-New York Times.

The bride was strikingly beautiful in

the youngest daughter of Judge Law

of self-sacrifice, and as greatfully re-
membering kindness herself it is
little wonder that she goes right to
the hearts of those whose good for

attributes taken to the home that
give inspiration for such poems as

A Peculiar and Fatal Accident.

A dispatch to the Times-Union
from Bronson, Levy county, says:
1t was a most peculiar accident
that caused the death of Alfonso
Moses, a young white man, six miles
south of Elizey station, Monday
night. Moses, in company with
Frank A. Reeves, passed through
Bronson last Saturday en- route to
Cedar Keys in search of employ
ment. Failing to find work at Cedar
Keys, they decided to return to Pal
atka, and, being without funds, they
were compelled to walk to their in
tended destination, and it was when
| they met Seaboard train No. 80 that
the young man lost his life. 1t was
after O'clock when they saw the
train coming, and as there was water
on both sides of the railroad, they
stood only a few feet from the track,
near enough for stick of cord wood
from the tender, which fell while the
train was passing. to strike him on
the head, fearfully crushing the
skull and causing his death, after
suffering agony for four hours. Reev-
es was also struck by the wood, but
only slightly injured. He walked to
Elizey for assistance, but owing to
the late hour he could not get any
help, so returned to his friend, doing
all that he could and remaining
with the body until the northbound
passenger train came at sunrise yes
terday morning. The body was plac-
ed aboard the train and brought to
Bronson. Sheriff Walker at once
ordered a casket, had a grave dug,
and saw that the young man, many
miles from home and among strang-
ers, was given Christian burial.
Moses was about 25 years of age.
He, with Reeves and another young
man, came from Boston to Jackson
vile a few months ago. From Jack
sonville Reeves and Moses went to
Palatka, and, failing to find employ
ment there, proceeded to Cedar Keys
and being disappointed at there be-
ing no opening for them in that city,
decided to again return to Palatka.
This was the first wood-burner en-
gine that has been on train No. SO in
several months.-Gainesville Sun.

The Womans FortniStly Club.

The fourth meeting of the Wo-
mans Fortnightly club met at the
attractive home of Mrs. Joseph H.
Haughton on Friday the 10Th ult.
The subject for the afternoon being
| Mexico.
Mrs. Willard the chairman being
absent Mrs. Hilburn presided in her
usual ease and composure. She
read Mrs. Wizards very interesting
paper on the History of Mexico, pic
turing the ancient, as well as the
Mexico of today, touching upon re-
quirement of its government, mod
ern improvements, mining and agri-
cultural pursuits, growth of com
merce etc. Her remarks on Diaz,
MeXico's great benefactor and presi-
dent were intensely interesting. He
is much beloved by his people having
served them 25 years. Within the
25 years prior to his election Mexico
had had So presidents.
Mrs. Gardner read a splendid pa
per written by Mrs. Raymond Price
on Customs and Religion, starting
from the time of the inhabitants Of
the Indians and embracing the
topics of domestic life, festivities,
marriage rights, amusements, mode
of burial etc. The well drawn scene
of the most awful and tragical death
of Tevcatlitoca held close attention.
Mrs. Geo. e. Gay, one of the dele
gates to the Federation of Clubs
which met in Gainesville, gave us u
most entertaining account of the
convention, speaking of the different
addresses, addition of clubs, reports
on birds, libraries, child labor, for
estry, etc.
We were pleased with the state
ment that Palatka is one of two
towns raising $500 toward the pres
ervation of forestry. The reception
rendered the delegates was a most
delightful and spectacular affair.
Miss Leib's vocal elections-"Der
Schwur" (The Vow and Nina were
much enjoyed, also Miss .Canova's
inspiring instrumental solo-"Au-
tumn."
After the close of the regular pro-
gram general discussion on child
labor arose. These discussions on
rumerous topics that usually arise
tend much toward the pleasure and
soclability of the club. Many will
be glad to know that since the en-
forcement of the child labor law 500
children have been sent to school.
The Consumers League is another
topic of deep and worthy interest.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather but IA were present. Miss
Green was most welcome visitor to
the club.
The music committee has not yet
decided when or where the musicale
will be held, it being indefinitely
postponed.

Gaping Verses.

On going into the rooms of one of his
friends who was absent DR.. Mansel
saw on the table the opening lines of a
poem in the following lofty style:
The suns perpendicular heat
Illumined the depths of the sea.
Taking up pen, he completed the
stanza IN the following witty way:
The fishes. beginning to sweat
Cried, Hang 1t, how hot we shall bev'
DR.. Watson, regius professor of di-
vinity, had at one time been tutor of
Trinity, and when he was made bishop
of LANDAU an honest publican in
Cambridge, who kept an inn called the
Bishop Blaise, out of respect to DR..
Watson changed his sign and replaced
the head Of Bishop Blaise by that of
Bishop Watson. This transfer drew
from Mansel, who probably had some
grudge against the late tutor, the fol-
lowing epigram;
Two of a trade can ne'er agree
No proverb ere was juster.
They've ta'en down Blaise, you see,
And put up Bishop Buster.

In Memoriam.

The following resolutions wer'
adopted by Patton Anderson Chap
ter, U. ID. c., of this city, on tn,
death of Mrs. Sheldon Stringer o.
! Brooksville, president of the Florida
division:
Whereas God, in his infinite wis.
dom has seen fit to remove from us
our beloved sister, Mrs. Sheldon b
Stringer, president of Florida divis-
ion U. d. q.
Therefore, be it resolved by Pat
ton Anderson Chapter, U. d. @. that
while we mourn her loss, we bow in
humble submission to Him, who
holds the destiny of individuals and
worlds in his hand. That in her
death the U, ID. C's. of Florida have
sustained great loss, an able, true
and efficient president, whose heart
was set on the accomplishment of the
noble purposes OF our organization; !;
that the old Confederate soldiers who
so bravely fought for their country
and upon whom the cares and bur-
dens of life have pressed so heavily
in old age, have lost a true and prac-
tical friend, whose heart was touch
ed by everything that affected their
interest.
That the south has lost one of her
truest and most loyal sisters, whose
life WAS being devoted to her inter-
ests in many ways, especially in pre-
serving in history her chivalry and
patriotism.
That we extend to the bereaved
family of our drceased sister our pro-
found sympathy and commend them
to the God who alone can give con-
ISOLATION and heal the broken heart.
That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of this chapter,
published in our local papers and a
copy thereof be sent to the family of
the deceased.

To landward the grounds will be en-
closed by a high wire fence covered
by honeysuckle, Crimson Rambler
roses and trumpet creepers. Besides
this profusion of blossoming plants
enclosing the fair grounds, the grounds
themselves will be beautiful with
plants of many kinds. Already there
are 100000 or more shrubs, trees
and flowers growing on the grounds
and more are being planted, Through
the most interesting part of the
grounds runs the Canoe trail, begin
ming at Boush creek, which flows into
Hampton Roads. The trail is two miles
long and II feet wide. Then there is
Filtration Walk following along the
winding trail in picturesque seclusion
for its distance Of a mile or more.
There is a fine beach of about mile
extending along the exposition
grounds. The great military drill
plain contains some 80 acres of land
and will be center of interest with
it's surrounding shade trees and
shrubs.
The state buildings are all near the
water front, and command fine view
of ships going out to sea and coming
in. The buildings are principally in
the colonial style, and many of them
are more beautiful than the ordinary
exhibition building put up to last
through fair time, for they have been
built solidly and substantially to last
permanently. The state buildings are
all to be permanent In the center OF
the group of state buildings is the
great administration building, f1anked
by history and historic art The adj
ministration building will contain an
enormous convention hall.
Aside from the myriads of attrac-
lions and beauties of the exposition as
whole. the visitor will find SO much
of intense historical interest in the i'm
mediate vicinity that he will wish to
spend much time in their investigation
and study For instance, he will wish
to visit old Jamestown, which is about
so miles up the James river from the
exposition grounds, and easily reached
by steamer; Yorktown, the scene of
the surrender of CORVALLIS; Williams
burg, the old colonial capital; Cape
Henry and Virginia beach, on the At
lantic ocean; Ocean View, on Hamp-
ton Roads, Newport News, Hampton,
Norfolk. Portsmouth, Old Point Com
fort and Fortress Monroe, all so near
as to be within easy reach of eXposi
ton visitors and all full of deep in
terest and natural beauty.

The charms of the tailor-made gown
seems to have reached an unwonted
height of perfection in color in mate
rial, in combinations of braid and
"ich turs, in fact everything which
goes to make up most harmonious
whole. A great many of the newest
ta!iormade models show very fasci
capes. These garments invariably
have the sleeves cut in the same piece

seam. | do not pretend to understand
how this is managed but the effect is
excellent, and it represents one of the
novelties of the season. Famous aU-
thorines assert that we are slowly but
surely drifting towards crinolines and
leg o mutton sleeves" | do not
think we shall quickly see crinolines
in possession of the feminine affec.

something extremely like the leg o
mutton sleeve"

considerable width above the elbow,
At this particular moment sleeves Of
this order are very quaint and artistic,

great certainty about the attractive
ness of the sleeves of next spring.
Fashions must change it does not
seem possible TO leave well alone and
we cannot dare to expect that the
sleeves of next summer will rival
those of the season which has just
faded away.
