\ number OF splendid speeches
we're delivered by the various mem
bers Of the organization and they
were enthusiastically received. One
OF the speakers was Hon. Herbert L.
Anderson of this city, The Times
Union, in speaking OF his address,
says:
Mr. AndersOn's remarks were wit
ty. concise and comprehensive and
he was we'll received. He pointed
out to the operators the necessity of
concerted action if they would save
their industry. He said that the Cper-
ators must organize a strong COM
pany to market their own production
and called attention to the fact that
il was deploraDle that one man CT a
set of men could band together in
the form Of corporation and ab5O-
lutely control the entire output Of the
product, dictate the policies OF the
men who were the producers. and
control the prices. lie stated that if
che operators would organize a COM
Dany 10 compete with the American
Naval Stores Company. eliminate ali
petty jealousies and subject the or
ganization to rigid discipline, they
could maintain prices which no y.UsJ
or combination of trusts could break.
He pointed out the fact that the pres
ent condition of affairs was wholly
and entirely the fault of the opera
tors. because they have not organized
their business. He took occasion TO
tell the operators that they have re-
peatedly met and passed resolutions
pledging themselves not to cut addi-
tiOnal cups, thereby restricting the
output, but would Immediately go out
and proceed to do the very thing they
had agreed not to do. In conclusion,
he said that this was no way to fight
a trust and if they expected to win
they must stand together or hang sep
arately'

THE EVERGLADES
ARE
TO Be SOLD

A Tallahassee special says that it
is reported that the Board of Internal
Improvement Trustees is consider
ing a proposition to sell 100000
acres of the Everglades, which is
about twO-thirds Of the area remaining
in possession of the state. Report has
it that the transaction has gone 50 far
as to insure the conclusion of the mat
ter, and a condition of the sale is
that the purchasers are TO undertake
drainage Of the area and a part Of the
sale contract will be that they are TO
construct 26) miles of drainage
canals, 30x1O feet, to accomplish this
purpose.
Largest Deal in State
This transaction is the largest AID
most important Of the kind ii tn
annals Of the state There Is no
other which rivals it in any degree,
with the exception OF the tamoUs
Disssron deal made under Governor
BlOXhaln, when he sold 100000 acres
of land 10 Hamilton Disston for ST.
100000 TO satisfy judgments against
the trustees for the redemption of
railroad bonds which the trustees had
guaranteed to encourage railroad con-
structiOn.
The price to be paid in the present
instance is 81 an acre, upon condition
TO drain, which in the aggregate
means many times the purchase
price.
If the mater is consumated, Gov
ernor BoWard will have redeemed his
promise and purpose TO drain the
Everglades and his administration
will fer that reason be one of the
most notable thus far in the history
of the state. For three years dredges
have been excavating in the 'G!ades.
and recently two additional dredges
were purchased. Development OF the
sugar-growing industry is said 10 be
the aim Of the prospective purchas-
ers.

she would perhaps look older than the
kaiser who, in spite of the cares of state
and the fact that his hair is sprinkled
with gray. looks wonderfully young for
his years. He is not too stout. and is less
tall than any of his six sons, excepting
Prince Adelbert. In strength of speech

progenitor.

When at Wilhelmhoh court formalities
are maintained as at Berlin, but to Cadi-
men in West Prussia, where the royal es-
tateS are, the kaiser and kaiserin are fond
of going alone. There court etiquette is
laid aside. The royal couple take long
rides in the forest and their days are
given to rest and recreation. The kaiser
hunts and the kaiserin delights to prepare
her favorite dishes with her own hands.
Once returned to the Prussan capital

III than one royal parsonage is engaged

New York society women have not gone
IN for business 10 the extent that English
men and women OF title or social position
have. This is possibly on the principle
that one must be very rich to afford TO be
seen in old clothing. a titled English
woman feels that she can do anything be-
cause her position is established by an
Gent and invariabie social rule. No one
suffers the loss of social position in Lon
don now merely by reason of going into
trade. And ii is coming to pass in New
York, too. that women of unquestionable
social position are entering the business
field from necessity or choice. Usually
IL is the former. 1t was necessity that

being something and somebody in the

a butterfly of fashion. The American
woman is too full OF vitality to drop back
into idleness when she has once tasted the
JOY of doing. And Mrs. Pell is full of
vitality and mental alertness. She is as

And the latter as mitch as the former is
a requirement of her occupation in the
business world. For Mrs. Pelrs business
activities include the education of women
for positions in the world of fashion. She
works with her crude material as much
by example as by precept.
