 NOrway-Swedish POlicewOmen. The progress of women in official life in Europe Is slow. but 1t can not be doubted that progress is being made.
 Within the past few weeks women appeared for the first time as candi- dates for election to the Bohemian Diet. It had been demonstrated as a legal proposition that if they fulfilled the other requirements their sex was no bar to their election.
 So far their candidacy stands merely as a demonstration. says The New York Sun. Two women received votes of some importance. One.

Has Not Changed Ownership

ArumOr has been going the rounds
and has been published.in several
newspapers to the effect that the East
Coast railway had been sold by H. M.
Flagler to the Atlantic Coast Line.
A jacksonville Metropolis reporter
saw J. r. PARROT, vice president and
general manager of the East Coast
system, and asked him if there was
any truth i'm the rumOr.
Not scintilla Of truth, replied
Mr.. PARROT, Mr.. Flagler has not
made any deal or is he thinking of
disposingof his railroad. Every lit
tie while some fanciful dreamer starts
this canard that the East Coast rail
way has been sold or is about to be
sold, and then we have to deny it,
Just as | am doing now"
The Metropolis learns that l,2O0
men are now at work on the East
Coast extension.

Norwegian Steamer Ashore

The Norwegian tramp steamer
Deremore, with cargo and bound
south, went ashore early last Sunday
morning at Pompano, near to the
wreck of the British steamer Copen-
hagen which became a total loss
there about 81 TX or seven years ago.
The cargo is being transferred to
the Standard Oil steamer, North
western, which will pull her off as
soon as she is lightened enough.
The latest reports from Fort Lau-
derdale are to the effect that the
Deremore is still hard and fast on the
beach and that all efforts by the tank
steamer, standing by, to remove her
have been of no avail.

Shipping Fish by the Carload

Mullet are being shipped out of tt
tusville now by the carload and the
height of the mullet season is not near
at hand yet. 1t takes over $1,000
mullet to make a carload, so the read
err can imagine the magnitude of the
business when it reaches this stage.
All of the fish dealers are doing a big
business and fishermen from other
parts of the river come here to take
advantage of the fish harvesting time.
From now until the closed season for
mullet commences the business prom
iSes to be excellent.

Value of County Buildings

| see by the Cocoa and Rockledge
News of July 23rd reference in re-
gard to the value and moving Of the
county buildings from Titusville to
Cocoa.
What is all this fuss and talk for?
Do the tax payers want to go to all
of this trouble and expense to benefit
a few individuals? 1t will not help
the people at large. l trust they are
too wise to be hoodwinked in this
style.
Now, the great cry about the value
of the county buildings, the News
says the Jail is a total loss. That is
mistake. Pm practical builder, hav-
ing a practice of 65 years in all classes
of buildings, have built many county
buildings from $4,000 to $4,000 in
value each. / have made careful
estimate and survey of the present
walls and iron work of the Jail, and
can replace the building as stated to
the commissioners for the sum of
$1,000: The court house is a good
substantial building and the lumber
in it firm and sound and far better
quality than can be gotten in this
county at the present time and it can
not be in any way compared with the
Cocoa town hall. Taking into con-
sideration the many rooms and the
general construction of the court
house it is worth $4,000 more than
the Cocoa building. Now, when you
come to the clerks office, the News
says this is small building and can
be taken down and moved for small
sum. To take this building down,
clean all of the brick, destroy all of
the plaster and painting and most of
the roof and floors and lumber, move
windows, doors, take down iron work
and counters, draw it to and from
the cars and put it all in place again.
What do you think Mr.. News, don't
you think you can make better cal.
culations setting type? This office
with all fixtures cost about 1000
The county judges Office with safe
and fixtures is worth $1,000. Their
take into consideration all of the out
buildings, tanks, fences and sewers
the county has property, aside from
the land, worth $50, 1000.
Now, is it policy to put the tai
payers to the expense Of $4,000 fol
new buildings, which it will be if TIE
county seat is moved? Where will bt
the gain to the people at large? The
little difference in the expense o.
travel to the public is all nonsense
There may be more people south OF
Cocoa than there is north. What i
there is? There has been 100 pei
cent more people settled within {
few miles of Ttusville within the pas
few years than there has been new set
tiers in thereSt of the county within
the same time and yet more coming
Some one made the remark: Mr.
; Decker wants job. Thanks, don
want any job, quit jobbing two year
ago. want to rest, but will do as
have stated in regard to building owe
