IMPROVEMENT CLUB
PLANS fine COURSE

The Ente, linment Committee of the
Fort Pierce Improvement club have
open dates with the Alkahest Lyceum
System of Atlanta Ca, for the following
strictly high class entertainers.
Ross Crare, ,CartOonist and Clay
Moulder, Chica 20 Gee Club, Male Quar-
tet, liza Dell, Fox Concert company.
We must have $500 in the bank as a
guarantee for these five attractions
which forces US to sell season tickets
ahead. The decision of the committee
has been to charge 50 apiece for these
season tickets which makes it necessary
for us to sell 200. This gives reduc-
ton of $1.U0 on each season ticket
over the single admission basis which
enables the holder of season tickets to
see these first class entertainments at
40 cents each. We feel that in present.
ing this course of five numbers we are
giving to the public absolutely high
grade attractions at a perfectly nominal
price and we entertain no fears that
the public and our friends will hesitate
to help themselves, as well as US, N
secureing this excellent course. The
public will be called upon by different
appointed parties selling tickets.
Tickets can be secured from both

All the works of Fiction ,(of. which
we have nearly 500 volumes on the
shelves) are now recatalogued; IN re-
yising the old catalogue we find a num-
Der of volumes missing which were
probably out when the library was clos
ed, and could not be returned on that
account; we would appreciate the favor.
if any persons having library books at
their homes, will return them as soon
as convenient.
We have goodly number of Religious,
Juvenile and miscellaneous books; books
of Poetry, Literature, Autobiography,
Biography, History. Reference, Science,
Travels and Guide books.
The library has been open every al,
ternoon during the past month and VIII
be open from 2 to 5 p. m. every DAY

Clifford Pinchot is essentially the
man with an idea, said Walter Well
man in the Chicago Record Herald.
What his idea is-his cause everyone
knows. 1t is protection of our great
natural resources. For this he has
fought like hero. Rich enough to en-
Joy life of ease he spends double his
salary that he may labor for the COVER
ment and the peoples future.
when he graduated from Yale about
twenty years ago young Pinchot was a
millionaire-.He threw in his lot how
ever with the toilers and builders. He
had imbibed from his father the love of
forest culture, and he determined to
make speciality along this line.

four Mulgobas, three Aminis and two
Rajipurris. The Mulgobas were first
tested, and were unanimously prOnounc-
ed the finest of tropical fruits. The
seed was entirely free from fiber which
is disagreeable adjunct of the COM
mOner variety; so much so, that the
pulp or meat could readily be eaten
with spoon. There was no trace what
ever of the turpentine flavor, but the
pulp on the contrary is exceedingly
luscious and creamy, with a flavor ard
an aroma which are to be found in no
other fruit.
The Rajipurrs were next sampled,
and they were found the equal OF the
f.lgoba in every respect, with more
pronounced flavor and a more pleasing
aroma; while the Amin, much small
Ter fruit, measured up to the best, with
one If the guests pronounting 1t of
more delicate flavor than either the
other .wo varieties.
When it comes to preference OF
kind it is hard to choose, as all OF these
choice varieties of mangoes are slightly
different in character and flavor, and

the best of ALL The heavy bearers and
larger fruit will undoubtedly become
the favorites, but this has not yet been
determined, as the Amin, the smallest,
is the heaviest bearer, while the Null
goba, the largest, is the least prolific.
Mr. Beach has devoted several years
to producing the re varieties, and be-
sides the specimens sent US, he has the
Bennett Alphonso, Goa Alphonse, y
"Sundersha, :" "Totafari," and Fern
andez." Each'has distinction all its
own; all are absolutely fberess and
possess a flavor that is indescribable;
seeming to be subtle blending of all
agreeable flavors.
While others in Dade and Palm Beach
counties are producing the different va
rietes Of these fancy mangoes; netting
as high as So per dozen; we believe Mr..
Beach is the only propagation who is
producing nursery trees for sale, and
we think it the part of wisdom for our
people to engage in the production of
this fine fruit.

A few weeks ago The TRIBUNE an
nounced the receipt of fancy East Indian
mangoes from John B. Beach, and prom
ised to give an opinion of this most ex-
cellent fruit, when it had reached a
c. ndition of ripeness to justify test.
When the fruit became soft to the
touch, Frank H. Fee, president of the
Bank of Fort Pierce; w. j. Nesbitt and
P. P. Cobb were invited to call and sam

on. ice few hours. A press of social
engagements prevented the presence Of
Mr.. Cobb, but after eating sample
mulgoba sent him, he pronounced il
the finestfrnit he had ever eaten.

HooDLUMIsM RAMPANT.

OGDEN, Feb. 9.-Many protests have
recently been expressed by Ogden cit
izens at the increasing habit of large
crowds OF boys, ranging in age from
l8 to 20. who congregate on street cor
ners and in public places and pass I'M
complimentary and insulting remarks
at ladies', young and old. as they pass.
So serious has this condition become
that 1t is hardly safe for a young self
respecting lady to walk along certain
streets, especially after dark. without
being insulted. On Grant avenue. near
a certain public dancing academy, it Is
the habit of some OF these hoodlums to
congregate nightly and some of the re-
marks heard hurled at young ladies' en-
tering the dance hall are sufficient to
arouse the fighting spirit of any one
possessed of a spark of manhood. a
number OF prominent citizens have de-
clnrod themselves az very strenuously
opposed to this deplorable condition
among some OF the boys and young
men OF the city. and no doubt some-
thing will be done to put stop to the
pernicious habit.
