imitation to come to sunny Florida,
where, on the farm. you can make as
high as $1,000 a year, says the American

Shades of Ananias and Sapphira! Why
are reputable real estate men permitted
to lie about Florida in this manner?
Florida is state of wonderful resources
and possibilities. but it takes certain
amount of both brains and experience
to succeed here. the same as anywhere
else, and people having little of either
will make as miserable failures here as
they do elsewhere. Let no one for
moment imagine that he can make a
fortune in Florida without hard work
and wisdom gained from experience.

~ death at Asheville robbed America
of a serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To Q

him to your own taste. But each of you
has a different taste To whose inclina

Doubtless, as years pass, the independ-
ents show a decreasing number of pure
horrors. This year there are less than
ever of those obese nudes that once made
the walls a scream. Some have seen in
this a standardiZing tendency by which
the Independents will ultimately resemble
the other salons: but the true deduction
is elegantly Indicated in the manifesto:
ARTISTS soon make their apprenticeship
of liberty
1t means that there will be fewer snake
necked ladies charitably killing bugs in
sisters hair. Real artists having had
their joyous fling, free from jury, will
grow earnest But the incompeteEts will
always swamp the Independents
They know it. An Independent salon,
once we'll known and visited, is medoc-
rity's delight. 1t admits every one.
How many honest people suffer cruelty

than their friends imagine, How shine?
The aeroplane is dangerous. The piano
is laborious. The stage is crowded. To
shine in almost any line requires capacity
and work.
Writing is easy. 1t requires no previous
experience; but editors are so unjust and
publishers so timid.

men and other experts are working to
reach the half hundred or more miners
entrapped in the Starkville mine by
an explosion Saturday night.
Word came from the mine at mid
night that a portable fan near the
entrance to the east slope, or short cut
of the mine was working with precis-
lon and the deadly afterdamp had
been scattered. The belief was ex-
pressed that the interior would be
gradually relieved of this menace.
Today renewed efforts to reach the
entombed men were inaugurated. Part
of the plan is TO find a path to where
they are believed to be huddled to-
gether In death, or perhaps, If still
alive, enclosed in a small space shut
off by them when the explosion came,
to protect themselves from the black
damp.
The latter hypothesis is based upon
probability that the men were not in
stantly killed by the eplosion or suffo-
Gated afterwards by the deadly gases.
Every plan that the ingenuity Of ex-
perts can summon Is being put into
use to penetrate the black depths of
the mine and reach the imprisoned
men.

Cincinnati, o., Oct. 1o.-What was
declared to be the largest collection
ever taken up on plates by any church
in America; an Interpretation by the
house of bisnops upon the "open pull
pitt subject and refusal to change the
name of the church were among the
most important matters transacted by
the triennial convention of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church, in session here
yesterday.
While the convention body was Ia
session celebrating upon proBesel
changes in the government of the
church, a solemn communion Service
was being held in Christ church, at
tended by many hundreds of worship
ers where the donations were being
received from the womens auxiliary
for the general missionary fund.
At the conclusion of this service it
was announced that the plates placed
upon the tables in front of the trus-
tees had been piled with funds aggre-,
eating $242, 1903.
In the house of bishops this morning
the reply of the bishops to the petition
for an Interpretation of the church law
regarding the so-called 'open pulpit"
question was made in language that
restricts the use of pulpits in that
church to regularly ordained Episco-
pal ministers.
