FROM
INTERESTING LETTER
PoUGHKEEPsIE

| In a letter to this Office from MI
Frank Harris, Jr., who is Attending
the Eastman College at Poughkeep
sic, n. Y, he says that that city is IL
gala attire on account of the Hudson
Fulton celebration. Friday was the
special day celebrated at Poughkeep
sic. He said that the city is very
beautifully decorated for the occa
sion. Every business house and eV
cry home is decorated with Hudson
colors, flags, banners and bunting
The main streets are all decorated
with thousands of tiny incandescen'
lights. In the street in front OF the
government building and the court
house there are twelve or fourteen
immense white columns, (which were
used in Washington when Mr.. Taft
was inaugurated president OF the
United States), and when the lights
are turned on everything looks very
beautiful, and looking up and down
the main streets one can imagine
himself in New York City, as there
are thousands of people on the
streets, and they are kept constantly
on the move. There is a policeman
every few feet ready at the first halt
to call out Move on" or "Step live
ly!"
While Ocala is busy preparing for
her county fair, Poughkeepsie, the
county seat of Duchess county, is all
in readiness to throw open her doors
to the people of this county and adj
joining counties. l expect to go out
some time this week to see the diff
ference between their products and
ours, and to see the way they exhibit
their products.
Catalogues and watermelons are
very plentiful, and the former very
delicious. The tomatoes here are the
biggest | have ever seen in my life,
and grapes are very plentiful and
cheap, as are also peaches. The
peaches are almost without taste,
however, but look very pretty. They
are as pink as the cheeks of the pref
ty northern girls.
Poughkeepsie is the home of the
famous Smith Brothers, of cough drop
fame. They also make candies. and
have a very handsome fountain in
their establishment, and their grill
room is always crowded. They have
refrigerators, which hold
many tons of ice, and they use not
less than three double team loads of
ice daily. The Smith Brothers have
made millions of dollars.
The cement sidewalks here are
very poor l think the Woodmar
Sand & Stone Company and our 9TH
er cmopany at home could make a
fortune in Poughkeepsie.
This is a pretty city and is kept
very clean and attractive, and the
streets are constantly sprinkled
Autos are here by the hundreds,
and every day We see hundreds of
people coming through, going to New
York City and other places from Ohio,
Pennsylvania and a good
many other states. They make about
as good time as some trains, and a
great deal better than those in Flor
ida.

Mr.. Calvert Smith, who has been
cartoonist for the Jacksonville Times
Union for so long a time that the
people of Florida have become very

moval is a distinct loss to the state
but this paper hopes that he will
make good in the big city and achieve
national fame.

HENRY WATTERSoN ON OUR
GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS

The airship is with us and it has
come to stay. After wireless telegra-
ply anything was possible. The con-
quest of the winds and waves by Mar
conf presaged the conquest of the air
by Curtiss, Bleriot and Zeppelin. The
best printers were sure that a type
setting machine was preposterous I'M
til the Mergenthalers actually crowd
ed them away from their cases. Ten
miles was in the beginning thought
the limit of communication by the
telephone. The electric light could
never be distributed. Morse's magnet
ic telegraph took the world complete
ly by surprise.
Taking counsel of these memories
why should we doubt the airship? If
it can already carry a dozen or more
passengers, why not a thousand? If
it can travel fifty miles an hour, why
not a hundred and fifty?
The prophetic instinct of the poet!
I'll put a girdle around the earth in

many of us recall the lines of Locks.
ley Hall, in which Tennyson makes
an equally remarkable forecast of the
future? In this connection let me
quote them:
Men, my brothers, men the workers
ever reaping something new;
That which they have done but ear
nest of the things that they shall
do;
For | dipt into the future, far as hu
man eye could see;
Saw the vision of the world and the
wonders that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce
argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting
and there rain'd a CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies crap
ping in the central blue;
Far along the worldwide whisper o.
the south-wind rushing warm,
With the standards of the people:
plunging through the thunder
| storm,
Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer
and the battle flags were furPd
In the parliament of man, the fedora

Shall it be so? Shall the battle flag:
be furled? Shall it be peace, and the
brotherhood of man? Shall there bt
no more war, nor lying, nor backbit
ing? Let US pray God and hope.-H

JUNKET TRIPS ARE
CALLED OFF NOW

men will have pleasant trip at pub
lie expense, in spite of and notwitb-
standing the fact that congress acted
so stingy about the Seattle exposition
The appropriations committee of the
house, Of which Representative Taw-
ney, of Minnesota, is chairman, will
visit Panama, starting on November
and remaining on the Isthmus for
two solid weeks. The members OF the
committee have been down on the ca
nal zone before and like it. They will
go and come on a government vessel.
and whatever money Is spent by them
on railroad fares and provender will
come out of the Panama canal appro-
priation.
In discussing the trip, Tawney said
that the committeeman really feel that
they should familiarize themselves with
conditions on the zone They are
called upon each year to make APP
preparations for the canal work and it
is just simply neglect of duty sor
them to fail to learn all about the gi-
gantic undertaking. To learn they
must go i'm person.

AT THE LAST MINUTE THE
HOUSE KNOCKED APPRoPRi.
ATOMS IN THE HEAD.
Consequently There Will BE No
Bunehes Of Congressman Chasing
Around at Public Expense.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IL
This promises to be a lean year for the
congressional junketers.
AT the last minute the house knocked
out the item providing an appropria-
ton for a congressional visitation to
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition,
and if the members and senators take
in the show at Seattle between now
and December they will go under
their own steam and provide their own
coal. With this trip gone glimmering
there is nothing in the way of recrea-
ton at the public expense in sight for
the lawmakers except the trip of the
appropriations committee to Panama.
Nc wonder that many of them are now
frantically dickering with the Chau-
tauqUa and other lecture bureaus
1t is not right to expect a member
or senator, anyway a member or sena-
tor of prominence, to stay at home all
during the congressional recess. He
needs travel: he needs exercise: above
all he needs money, even if they did
raise their own salaries a year ago
from $4,000 a year to $500. and even if
most of them do put their additional
clerical and stationery allowances to-
falling $1,725 per annum, into their
own pockets.
Nearly every prev Gus year since the
oldest inhabitant can remember. the
members and senators have had pleas
ant little trips fixed up to while away
the dull hours of the heated term.
One bunch would go to Hawaii; an
other, to the Philippines; another, to
Panama; still others. to whatever ex-
positions happened to be running. Con-
gressional parties went to Chicago. st.
Louis, Omaha, Buffalo. Jamestown
Uncle Sam paid all the bills and looked
cheerful What business had he to
look otherwise anyway? He should
know by this time that whenever a
senator or member wants to take a
trip, it is up to Uncle" to provide the
funds The information the statesmen
gather while on their journeys surely
more than repays the government for
whatever paltry dollars may be spent
on fares by rail and water and fare by
way of table.

speedy blasting of her romance which
began so auspiciously The fact that
Will which is to be probated on
Monday will provide. for her a large
fortune does not lessen the pangs of
heartbreak.
Young Robert Powers, clubman and
prominent in Brooklyn society. met
and fell in love with the lovely shop
girl several months ago. His family
bitterly opposed his marriage to the
girl. on the ground of her lowly sta
ton in life, and for time both were
disconsolate. Then young Robert took
the matter in his own hands and ar
ranged and elopement It was his
purpose to keep the wedding a secret
for a time, and the bride returned to
her home.
Only short time after s-e mar
riage the groom went boating He
was seen no more until his body was
washed up by the waves on Rockaway
Beach. The young wife, unable long
er to sustain her brief in silence. went
to the home of her husbands relatives
and in voice broken by sobs, con-
fessed her secret. Their hearts soft
ened by grief. the relatives received
| her with open arms and mingled their
I tears with hers. They insisted that
the stricken bride, now tragically be-
come widow, should take her right
full place in her husbands home. Pros
trated with sorrow, she accepted.
1t was not until later that she
learned what her husband had not
told her-that by the will of the late
DR. Andrew J. Dover his property,
worth over a million dollars. was to
be divided into six parts and LETT to

to about $4,000. will go to the for
