the subject before the Florida legisla-
ture now.)
In this day of invention and science
and marvellous accomplishment, few
people who enjoy the benefits Of scien-
tific achievement stop to think Of the
men who made these marvels posi-
! BILE, and little reverence is paid to the
memory of those who have given to
the world some Of it's greatest bless
ings.
In the whole world of science there
are two figures that stand out
amongst their fellows in bold and
striking relief. One is the man who
discovered the use and application of
anesthetics, and the other is the man
who discovered the scientific principle
and invented the process for the man
ufacture of artificial ice.
This latter man vas DR.. John Cor
RE, a F1oridian, and a resident of Apa-
lachicola, who, August %, 1850, pat
ented a machine for the manufacture
Of ice and to whom today is due the
credit for the great boon to mankind
which his genius made possible.
One of the places of interest point
ed out to the visitor in Apalachicola
is the Gorrie monument, standing in
the heart of the city, and which bears
on its respective sides the following
inscriptions:

MOTHER IS DYING
SON IS IN JAIL
Pitiful Circumstance in Case
of Harry Burgess Now
Serving Sentence.

About two hours before Harry
Burgess. now confined at the county
Jail, serving an eleven day sentence
for public intoxication, was notified
that his mother was critically i'll at
Reid Memorial hospital, he had a visit
from some of his friends, who in a
joshing manner, told him that had he
not. been afraid to go home in the dark
on the night of his arrest, he would
not now be in custody.
The man was taken TO the hospital
by turnkey Frank Demaree on Satur-
day afternoon and allowed to spend
some time with his mother, which may
be the last time he will ever see her
alive. She is about seventy years old
and hospital authorities stated on Sat
urday evening that there had been lit
tie if any change for the better in her
condition, which is regarded as crit
ical.
A week ago Friday Burgess was ar
rested on a charge of intoxication.
Upon the visit of his friends so short
ly before he received the sad news of
his mothers condition, they told that
he would not go home with them, they
intimating that they were in the same
condition as he, because he was afraid
of the dark. The police found him on
the street and arrested him. Burgess
is blacksmith and his friends de-
clare only a periodical drinker.

EARL STEELE WAS
DECLARED INSANE

Deluded with the idea that he was
in love drove Earl Steele insane.
Such in brief is the finding of the
insanity commission, including Mayor
W. w. Zimmerman. DR.. r. J. Hopkins
and city health officer Dr. r. Henry
Davis, who examined Steele, aged %,
at the county jail Friday. He imagin-
ed he loved a woman aged 90. for
whom he has repeatedly declared his
infatuation. Her repulses had no ef-
feet on him. He has homicidal and
suicidal tendencies and because she
was adjudged too dangerous to run at
large, he was held in the city Jail for
two days and then taken to the county y
Jail The insanity commission found
that his mad infatuation for the wom-
an at whose residence he boarded, was
the principal reason for his present
state of mind. His physical health
was found good and has been good,
so they could not account for his
mental condition as a result of any
physical ailments.

COOKS TELEGRAM
MIGHT Be REASON
For President Taft's Delay in
Placing His Signature to
The Peary Bill.

Although it is not belived in official
circles at Washington that President

rear admiral with an annuity of $4,000
having only delayed placing his sigma.
ture to the bill because of more press.
ing matters, yet this feeling OF conf.
dence that he will sign the measure
is not held by the friends Of DR.. Fred
erick S. Cook, the alleged fake discov
erer.
Just prior to the closing of the last
session of congress, DR.. Cook gave out
while in this city text telegram
which he had sent to the PresideH,
from Omaha. In this lengthy message
he counseled the President not only
to delay but to refuse to sign the
measure. The reasons ne set forth In
the telegram were that Peary's record
as an explorer, an agent of the gov.
ernment and as moral man, should
be fully Investigated. Not only did
SOOh MAKE serious charges against
Peary's morality, but even more ser
ious charges as to the causes which
perpetr2ted his attempts TO discovei
the pole. A dispatch from Washing
ton says: -
THE commission of Civil Engineer
Robert E. Peary as rear admiral or
the retired list with the highest re
tired pay of that grade. to date bach
to April 6, 1909, the date of the dis
covery of the north pole. now only
awaits the presidents signature.
There was some delay as to the
method in carrying out the specia; ac
of congress and it was finally decided
to first commission Peary as a civi
engineer with the rank of rear admir-
al and then transfer him to the re
tired list. The issuance of his com
mission will be followed immediatel,
by an order for his retirement, which
gives him $4,000 a year pay.

Nora was on the stand all day. He

At this point President Bianchi OF

When the Tenth infantry left Fort

teen years old, and the latter's dog
"Ginger" boarded the troop train.
Both expected to see real live Indians

they say. they wanted to attend the
Battle Of Flowers, an animal fete
which takes place on the 21st Of April.
Whisnan appears TO be the more pre-

At frst they were not inclined to

to detrain at some unexpected place
in the uninhabited west. and in such
an event "Ginger" would be useful to
chase buffalo, antelope, Jack rabbits
and such other animals as might camp

does not look like buffalo dog. nor
does he have the speed points neces-

TO be mixture or Scotch terrier with

j, 5, AND ENGLAND
ARE TO ARB|TRATE
Treaty Is Drafted and Will
Be Submitted to the
Senate Shortly.
(American News Service)

Augusta, Ga, March 1S.-President
Taft will submit the arbitration treaty
just negotiated between this country
and Great Britain TO the senate during
the session and strongly urged it's
ratification. The plan was announced
here today. This treaty is now before
the British parliment and has SO far
been cordially received by that body.
For the first time in the history of
the United States or Of Great Britain
treaty has been successfully nego-
tiated which refers all questions OF
national honor and the acquisition of
territory to arbitration. This seemed
at once an impossible undertaking.
Now, however. the state departments
of the two governments have drafted
such a measure ed it is ready for rat
ification.
The president thinks this treaty the
most advanced step ever taken by two
great nations toward guaranteeing
permanent peace. In all previous
treaties only ornaments and minor
differences were subjected to consid-
Grafton.
Under this instrument, however, all
questions of whatever nature may be
passed upon by arbiters.
The president played golf again this
morning, returning to his hotel to re-
ceive a committee from the Alabama
legislature. Later in the afternoon he
expects to visit the ball grounds and
watch the Boston nationals at prac-
tice.
