FLORIDA FRUIT TOP-NOTCH
Receives Higher Price Than
California in Open Com
petition,

In the light OF what has been written
and said about careful handling OF fruit
bringing its own reward in the markets,
and further in the matter of the impor-
lance of shipping fruit under diStinc-
tive brand, in order that fruit carefully
handled may be readily recognized by
the trade in general from the brands IN
der which it is shipped, a study of the
citrus fruit auction reports from New
York City, of Friday May 18th, is inter
esting reading.
There were 81 cars of California or
angcs and lemons sold on that date, and
the highest price paid for $50 size Cali
fornia oranges on this entire sale was
1906 for the Pinnacle brand, from Up
land, handled by the California Elk
change. The famous Pointer brand
brought 81. O5 box, less than this price
for the 1905; while the welI-known and
remarkably advertised "Mahala" brand,
from Riverside, only brought sos a
box for the 1905 on this sale.
The only brands from California that
brought above 800 for the 1905 on this
sale, were the Corona, the Pinnacle,
The Lotus, from Upland, the King and
Oullan, from CpIdnu, anu lSSd -AhNiiOI
brand NalenciaS, from LindSey-all the
other sales and brands of this size being
So. 90 box or less
The Winter Park Citrus Growers AS
sociation sold on this same day some OF
their Three Red Feathers brand, which
brought for the $50 size 1910 box,
which was S1.4 box more than was
received for any Florida fruit at this sale,
excepting Winter Parks own brand OF
Three Green Feathers, which sold at
81. 40 for the $50 size.
When Florida orange from the high
hamockS, of the plain seeding variety,
not ValenciaS, can bring at open auction
in New York more money than any
California naval, Mediterranean Sweet,
St. MichaelS, or Valencia OF the same
size offered and sold on that date, il
shows to a remarkable degree, first
what can be done with Florida or
ange in the way of getting a good price
for it, when it is offered ripe and in
good condition, in competition with
anything the world produces, and sec
ondly that reputation for proper care
and handling pays just as well for Flori
da fruit as il does for that from Califor
MIA. -PowellS' Tampa Bulletin.

Hannihal,s Downfall.

The fate of Hannibal turned upon
the result of promenade. 1t was after
he had crossed the Alps and entered
Italy. with winter quarters established
at Capua. His residence was one OF
the best houses in the city, and while
walking in the garden he heard fe-
male voice singing not far away
Struck by the tones of the voice, he is
sued an order that the singer should be
brought before him. He was so greatly
impressed by her charms that he at
once attached her to his household,
disposing of the husband by beheading
him. Retribution followed clo'cly upon
the cowardly preparation of the out
rage. The balance of the winter was
devoted to pleasure, discipline and
drills were practically abandoned. and
with the advent of spring the Cartha
ginian army was so demoralized by
the dissipation of the city that its pres
tige was lost and with it came the
downfall Of Hannibal

The American Unitarian Association
in annual session at Boston last week
severely censured Senator D. U.
Fletcher, member of that communion,
for his vote in the United States Senate
in favor of Senator Lorimer. Some bit
ter attacks were made on the Florida
Senator and though he was kept in
office as Fourth vice-pre3ident of the
association, it was by greatly reduced
vote. The Democratic Association OF
Florida, composed of all creeds, has
also been cenSuring the Senator. That
Lorimer gained his seat in the United
States Senate through bribery may not
be susceptible of proof from a legal
point OF view, but that Lorimer is guilty
is moral certainty in the minds OF the
American people irrespective of party or
creed. Legal proof that leaves no room
for a reasonable doubt is all very proper
in a court of law, but in the greatest
legislative body in the universe" moral
certainty should have precedence over
technical quibbling

Tissot, the Famous French RAINIER
and His Critic.
An interesting story is told Of
Jacques Tissot, the great French paint

beautiful religious picture and. meet
ing a countrywoman, asked her opinion
of his work. Its a chef d'Oeuvre,"
she replied, giving remarkably just
and detailed appreciation Of the vari-
GUS merits of the really splendid paint
ing.
Are you satisfed?" asked a friend,
Tissot answered in the negative. He
entirely reprinted his picture, working
night and day.
When finished he sent again for his
fair critic, who pronounced it ad-
mirable and remained silently admir-
ing it with smiling criticism.
Are you satisfied" asked the friend
again when the lady had departed
NO" replied the artist, and he set to
work for the third time.
When the Parisienne saw the new
painting she gazed at it for some mo-
ments with evident emotion and then
without a word sank softly to her
knees and began to pray.
Are you satisfied now?" whispered
the friend, and Tissot said "Yes."-

Gov. GilchriSt has vetoed the bill
abolishing the convict lease system for
humanitarian reasons, and other reasons
more practical. The Governor claims
that the title of the bill is defective and
misleading, in that the title calls for
provision for maintenance of the state
and county convicts, when no provision
for such maintenance appears in the
body of the bill. The Governor proba,

Slavery in Florida to Cease

The only argument that can be digni-
fled by The name that is brought in favor
of the conv CT lease system is that ii is
the means OF turning into the public
treasury a certain amount of ready cash,
whereas the road working plan pro-
duces no actual cash but involves the
expenditure of money in taking care of
the prisoners. This argument fails TO
take into account the much more lasting
benefit The State receives in improved
roads from The labor of the convictS,
which far outwcighs the money which
the lcssecs contribute for the privilege
Of operating a human slavery institution
under the auspices and protection of the
state. The money paid in by the con
vict lessees could never bring as much
real benefit to the people of Florida as
the road improvement that will be
wrought under the new plan. Tampa
