NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The lot
of the ice man is not all lame
back and small wages in New
York. He can make money for
himself, under a system in use by
the ice companies here. How
much he can make is dependent
upon how easy his customers are
and how big scalawag he is.
Many customers do not deal
with the ice company, though they
receive ice from its wagons. The
driver starts out, charged with
1000 pounds of ice. or whatever
amount is on the load. He has
to pay the company for that
much ice, less a per cent for
shrinkage, which depends on the
state of the weather. He deliv-
ers to each customer SO many
pounds of ice, and takes the
money. An INSCRIPTIONS driver,
whose customers, can sell from
1900 to 400 pounds out of a
1000-pound load. and of course
the "velvet" goes into his pocket.
The new style in hair dressing,
which makes a lady's knob look
like the top end of hitching
post with a horses tail wrapped
closely around it, has not yet be-
come widely prevalent. The DANES
who affect it attract great atten-
ton at the theater first nights,
but there is too much hard-earn-
ed money invested in rats, puffs
and switches for the new wrinkle
to come through with a rush.
AS the old style couture, of the
life preserver variety, goes out,
it seems to be swelling up and
growing more and more balloon
like proportions. Apropos of
which an usher at the Liberty the
alter tells a story which may or
may not be true. Anyway, he
says it really happened.
Behind girl with an enormous
contraption of hair and wire goods
sat man who wanted to see
something of the show, and could
not. He endured the situation
as long as he could, then passed
his program to the lady, with a
line UNDERSIGNED. 1t was the
line which reads, Ladies are re-
quested to remove their hats"
The girl turned around. What

ed have anything to do with it.
The Greek diver was very success
full. The glowing reports o. his large
earnings sent to the North and to
Greece at once started an influx Of
Greeks and in a few months some 400
or 500 Greeks had swarmed into this
place. They have been coming ever
since, until there are now several
thousand Greeks settled here, their
number being almost treble that Of
the native population.
AS result of this influx of foreign
ers the town has taken on a foreign
appearance. The Greek language is
heard more often than the English.
While Greek names are rapidly re
placing those of the American mer-
chants who formerly did business
here. At the rate that the Greeks are
coming it is a question Of but short
time before they will control the town
absolutely.
Key West soon felt the effects of
the new competition and vessel after
vessel was withdrawn from the fish
cry or else sold to the Greeks, until
now the Key West fleet numbers less
than half what it did in 1905 1t was
soon discovered that the Greek div
erS, instead of going out into the deep
waters which were inaccessible to the
hOOkerS, preferred to frequent the
shallow waters worked by the hook
ers, where the spOnges were more
easily secured and more safely Secur-
ed than in the greater depths
Finding it impossible to secure eff
tective state legislation owing to the
conflicting, at that time, interests OF
TaTpOn Springs and Key West. an aD-
peal was made to congress, which en-
acted a law in 1906 prohibiting the
landing in this country after May l,
1907, of spOngeS taken by means OF
diving in less than fifty feet of wa
ter, while spOnges taken in q greater
depth had to be secured between Oct
1 and May l. This law has been of
very little benefit to the native sDOng-
eTs, as but weak and Intellectual e.
fort has been made to enforce il.
The people of Key West have
fought against diving from the be-
ginning, and have threatened TO burn
the first diving vessel that comes
there. Last year a rumOr spread that
a diving vessel was working on the
key grounds in the upper part Of
Monroe county An expedition was
hastily organized, but when it swoop-
ed down upon the suspicious vessel
the latter turned out to be a macker-
Ell fisherman from Miami Neither
Greeks nor the diving method are
permitted in Monroe county but as
the best grounds are in the Gulf OF
Mexico, some distance from Monroe
county, this has not benefited the Key
West fleet very much.

SPONGERS Of
FLORIDA ARE
FORCED OUT
THE GREEKS ARE FORCING THE
NATIVE SPONGERS TO SEEK
OTHER MEANS OF MAKING A
LIVELIHOOD.

(Florida Letter in New York Sum-
The Greek has come to be regarded
as an economic menace by the ma
tive residents Of Tarpon Springs and
other parts of the west coast of Flor
ida The story of how this has come
about is interesting as showing how
great results sometimes grow from
small beginnings.
From Miami on the east coast
down through the chain of keys and
up the west coast as far as st. Marks
are the immense sponge beds which
have been one of the sources OF Flor
ide's wealth for many years. Up to
three or four years ago Key West
was the CHEZ center Of the industry,
sending out feet of some 400 yes
seis manned by several thousand mel
to fish for sponges which sold at
highly remunerative prices.
Up to 1905 the apparatus used by
the spOnger consisted Of a water
glass and pole with a three-to tooth
ed hook at one end. The water glass
was simply an ordinary bucket. the
wooden bottom of which had been
replaced with pane of window
glass. The pole varied in length
with the depth in which the sponger
vas working, about fOrty-five feet
being the greatest depth in which the
hooker could work.
In 1905 one Of the sponge buyers at
this place, thinking that there must
be fine sponges in the deep water
which were inaccessible to the hook
or made arrangements with a Greek
diver to come to this place and intro
dUce the method of gathering spongeS
by men in diving suits, which is in
general use in the sponge fisheries of
Greece. 1t was supposed that the 10
cal spOngers, observing this man at
work, would see the advantage of
diving over hooking in the deep wa
tiers and would adopt the method; but
the native spOngers absolutely refus-

THE BOYS IN GRAY.
BY Harry ElIard.

On to the war they all did go to join
the noble band
OF boys in gray; they went their way
from out our Southern land;
For the Stars and Bars they all did
fight to raise their banner high,
For justice cause and freedoms sake
they were prepared to die.
For they belonged to the Southland's
best TO brave the shot and shell
To raise their flag in victory, the flag
they loved so well;
And as the fife and drum went by to
sound the urgent call,
Troops now are wanted for the war,
so fall in one and all.
They were right there to get in line,
these boys who wore the gray;
They had no fear 10 face the shot OF
battles fierce array;
Though victory came not their way,
they felt their cause was right,
For country, wives and mothers they
made a noble fight.
The thinning ranks will meet again
to talk their battles DER,
And greet their comrades by the hand
as in the days OF yOre;
So we welcome you our heroes, at
your reunion day,
You have our praise and blessing,
The boys who wore the Gray.

The great thought comes TO me
what have We of Florida to offer this
people? Surely not much but climate,
and that has written over It, not

n more contented people could not
be found anywhere, and with the
great wealth from this soil, and our
fine wilmer resorts, the patronage OF
these resorts will increase for years
to come, and We will get twenty
'CTanSients" for one settler" for
many years to come.
We may not be able to use much OF
the machinery now in use in the
great west, but there is a day COM
ing when a greater transformation
VIII be seen in the southland than is
seen here, and it is for us to show
these possibilities. When plenty Of

hope for greater things for our own
