MARSHAL REPLIES TO

Editor THE TRIBUNE:
Please give me space to reply as
briefly as | can to the Honorable May
Or's letter to the city council, which
appeared in your last issue, which is
somewhat misleading.
He stated that he was Informed that
the marshal was receiving salary of
approximately $50 per month, on ac.
count of an extra allowance for service
for which he was drawing salary to
perform.
If the Mayor had made this clear, |
think it would have thrown 4 different
light on the subject, but he has either
forgotten the action of the council IN
open session April 5th, or he regards
the truth lightly.

ing Palmetto and Magnolia avenues

was ordered, | was instructed to super
intend the work. For this service |

The public lands of the United States
are not subject to sale, but can be
homesteaded, and thus made practically
free to those who have not exhausted
their rights to enter homesteads.
To make homestead entry one must
be a citizen of the United States, or
have declared their intention to become
such Unjust get complete citizenship
papers before final five year proof
can be made, although communication
proof can be made after fourteen
months by paying one dollar and twenty
five cents per acre by those who have
merely declared their intention to be-
come ctizens); must be over the age
of twenty-One years or the actual head
of family, and the applicant must not
be the owner of over one hundred and
sixty acres of land. A man and wife
cannot both make a homestead, nor
can a wife unless she is deserted by
her husband, or is the head of the fami-
Iy by reason of the disability, etc, of
her husband.
A homesteader must live upon the
land actually and continuously to the,
exclusion of any other home or place OF
abode or residence.
The applicant to homestead must go
in person on the land and examine it
before filling his application. The
same applies to timber and stone fill
ngs.
Applications for homestead or for
purchase under the timber and stone
act must be executed in this office, be-
fore the Clerk of the Circuit or United
States Court, County Judge or U. 5.
Commissioner in the county in which
the land is situated, unless some other
of the officers named within the state
of Florida is shown by affidavit accom-
panying the application to be the near
est and most accessible officer author
lied to take such applications.
Unless the application is made on the
proper form and before the proper
officer it is waste of time and energy
to send it to this office, because 1t can
not receive consideration.
Land that is unfit for cultivation and
is more valuable for its timber than
for agricultural purposes is subject to
sale at value found by appraisal by
an agent of the General Land Office
to persons legally qualified to purchase
it in tracts not exceeding one hundred
and sixty acres to one person.
The office has no maps showing the
location of vacant public lands, but Will
furnish township platts at one dollar
each giving this information. Orders
for these platts must give the township
and range numbers, and it is suggest
ed that first, second and third choice
be designated. Under no condition
will this office select the numbers. No
form of remittance will be accepted
save postal money orders or cash.
money orders are very much preferred
and should be made payable to the
Receiver. The remitter's name on the
money order must be that of the appll-
cant.
We have no information of any value
concerning the soil and crops that can
he grown on any of this land.
No person whatsoever has the right
to represent this Office as surveyor or
locator, or whatnct, and charge for
information, becau e there are no EN-
ployes or officials for the purpose ex-
cept in thi, office.

SEE AMERICA FIRST.

An Effort to Get Our Citisens Ac-
quafnted with Their Own Country.
From the Baltimore Star.
Last year over $4,000 Americans jour-
neyed across the Atlantic Ocean and de-
voted period varying from six weeks to
six months to seeing as much Of Europe
as the time permitted or their own de-
sires called for, 1t is estimated that
these Americans expended upon an aver
age $1,000 each while abroad. This would
mean an aggregate of $3.50. 10000 as the
homage fund which America annually
pays to Europe. This annual tourist trib-
ute IS only in small degree reciprocated.
Leaving out those who come in search of
employment, there are probably not 5000
Europeans, upon an annual average, to
visit the United States. The see America
first convention, which Is to be held in
Baltimore next January. Is to be a ma
tional protest against this unbalanced
reciprocity in international visiting.
The two Americas are as replete with
scenic variety as any other equal areas
Of the globe. II the civilizations on this
side are newer. they are. at least. full of
vitality. There Is really not much profit
for modern civilization in studying the
inscriptions on tombs. To paraphrase
Tennyson, better twenty years Of Ameri-
can, vital with ideas that are reyolu-
tionizing the world. than a cycle OF Eu-
rope with its ideals that are either dead
and buried or dying.

Federal Care of Lepers.

Washington, having gone through one
experience with a leper, or alleged
leper, sympathizes with Pittsburg,
where case of leprosy has been dis
covered. No doubt there, as here at
the time, public alarm is exaggerated,
but there is serious problem for city
authorities involved in the question of
the immediate or permanent disposition
OF leprosy patient. The man is confined
in tent on the grounds of the munich
pal contagious disease hospital, and
there is tentative proposition to Sc
cure for him house in some isolated
part OF the city as permanent dwell
ing. But the patient must, however,
have medical treatment and more or less
attendance, provision for which is quite
as difficult as the mere housing.
The isolation and infrequency of lep-
rosy make the problem especially diff
cult, and sometimes there can be but
scant recognition OF the demands of
humanity, because the fear of contagion
fotbids anything like systematic pro-
ceeding or attendance Medical opinion
is that there will be more of these cases
in this country in the future than we
have had in the past. If that prediction
should prove true, a Federal hospital
for the care of the unfortunates would
be the most practical solution. The dis.
ease will never become sufficiently prev
alent in this country, with its precau-
tonary systems. to necessitate the es-
tablishment of State hospitals, much less
an institution in every community.

THE FRENCH FATALITY.

War Minister'S Death Recalls Burst
ing of Gun on the Princeton.
From the Philadelphia Press.
NJ Berteaux, the French war minister,
has met his death as did Abel Parker
Upshur. Secretary Of State. and Thomas
". Gilmer. Secretary Of the Navy under
Tyler, when a gun burst on the Prince
ton, February Is. 1874, and killed them
and a group OF bystanders, President Ty-
Ter and other members Of the Cabinet mar
rowly escaping. These are OF the risks
of those who sit in high places.
The big gun on the Princeton was a
new weapon, and, like the aeroplane, the
possibilities Of accident were little known.
The relative freedom from accidents to
bystanders has blinded every one to the
risks Of several hundredweight Of steel
hurting through the air over spectators
and houses,
The aviators escaped In this case, and
future like accidents are certain to be-
come more frequent as aeroplanes are
more freely used, in larger numbers, over
crowds and cities.
