his candidacy throughout the State
to an extensive degree.
Orlando REPRESENTATION,
Albert w. Gilchrist, candidate for
Governor, is in the city today in
the interest of his candidacy. Mr..
GiIchrist is a strong candidate for
this high position and is growing
stronger every day as the people
realize that he is not of any faction
or on the water wagon for a free
ride to the Governors chair at
Tallahassee. While q strict prohi-
bilionist, he believes in local OPP
ton and that each county should
decide for themselves. He be-
ievcs that capital should be organ
lied and labor organized and that
neither should be oppressed. In
fact, Gilchrist will poll large
vote by his broad-minded policy;
and being man of the people, will
prove a popular candidate among
all classes.

"Peruna is certainly a valuable nerve
and blood remedy, calculated to build
up the broken-down health of worn-out
women. 1 have found by personal ex-
perience that it acts as a wonderful re-
storer of lost strength, assisting the
stomach to assimilate and digest the
food, and building u? worn-out tissues.
In my work 1 have had occasion to
recommend it freely, especially to
women.

build up the strength of a young mother,
in fact, all the ailments peculiar to
women, so I am pleased to give it my
hearty endorsement"

Remarkable Criminal Record.

To-day a remarkable execution has
taken place in this city, the like of
which has never happened even in the
annals of Chinese executions.
The man who was executed was
found guilty of highway robbery and
sentenced to be beheaded. He is the
seventh of the family to suffer the
extreme penalty in this city.
The parents gave birth to eight
boys, and from whatever causes it is
impossible for me to say, the whole
family have just given themselves mp
body and soul to evil. The poor old
mother escorted this, her seventh son,
to the execution ground wailing heI
dreadful fate the whole way. On ar
rival the magistrate, fearing she might
cause trouble, had her forcibly re-
moved outside the crowd until all was
over, when she ran back to the bleed
ing headless body of her poor boy
and again took up her wailing.-Sui-

SAVED BY THE TYKE
INSTANCE OF QUICK THINKING
ON CRITICAL OCCASION.
Probable Total Loss of Man-of-War
Averted by Mere Apprentice
His Warrant Officers Uni
form Well Merited.

Quite a number of former appren'
tees are wearing the uniforms of war
rant officers in our service because
they were quick thinking boys on
critical occasions.\
One of them was extraordinarily
handy with his knife one day when
the ship on board of which he was
serving as apprentice had swell
chance to go to the bottom, but for
him. They were having heavy gun
and coming tower practice. The skip
per was doing some firing from his
position in the coming tower by touch
ing the electric button alongside OF
him. The apprentice was acting as
the shippers messenger during that
practice.
Projectile and charge had been
rammed into one of the six-inch guns
on the main deck. Some confusion in
orders came about. At any rate the
skipper had his finger within a couple
of inches of the electric button ready
to press it and thus discharge the six
inch gun, when the apprentice was on
the job. Standing just outside the
coming tower and having from that
position view Of the gun ahead to be
fred, the youngster observed that the
breech of the siX-inch gun hadn't yet
been closed, and there was the skipper
on the very pin point of touching the
button that would fire the gun with
the unlocked breech. If the gun went
of in that condition there was the
finest kind of chance for the recoil
of the immense piece to drive the gun
right through the ships bottom.
The apprentice didn't have much
time to think, but he didn't need much.
He figured it all out in an instant that
| II he yelled at the skipper that the
| breech wasn't locked the suddenness
of the yell might so startle the skipper
that his finger would involuntarily
| come down on the button and thus
discharge the gun. The boys ships
knife with the big blade was in his
left hand shirt pocket hanging there
for it's lanyard. He had it out and
! the blade open in an incredibly short
| space of time, and he made one cat
like dab with the sharp blade Of the
knife at the electric wire belonging to
the button that led right alongside
where the boy was standing by the
coming tower The blade cut the
wire in two fraction of second be-
fore the shippers finger reached the
button, breaking the electric connec-
ton and in every likelihood prevent
ing a tremendous calamity.
| The boy was only tyke and not
very strong, and just as soon as he
! slashed the wire he fell forward on
his face in a dead faint-an odd thing.
too, that, for a boy serving on a
man-o' war. and yet the incident wasn't
any ordinary one. The skipper raised
his head the instant he touched the
button and saw what had happened;
the loose ends of the cut electric
! wire, the prone boy and all the rest of
it. Then he darted out of the coming
tower and saw the breech of the big
gun still unlocked. He understood it
all long before the boy was brought
around to consciousness. That boy
had no sooner finished his days of ap.
premiership before he wore the war
rant officers uniform of gunner.

Coat Made from Looms Breasts.

The breasts of 365 looms made into

little of the history of the coat except
