New Houses Badly Needed.

One of the topics touched upon at the
board of trade meeting last Monday
night was the need of rev houses in
Palatka, and the fact that there is con-
slant demand for residences which men
of modest means who still have long
ing to be somebody can live in and not
feel that they are back-tacking on their
ambition-houscs that should rent from
$40 to $25 per month. There isn't any
such at this time in the city.
The man who will build houses OF
that character would undoubtedly find
them good Investment.
Then Palatka is good point in which
10 operate a building and loan associa.
ton. Such an organization would
prove great aid TO many man in this
town.
1t is fact that desirable locations for
building this class homes in Palatka are
about run out, but with our good roads
the hills beyond the city must soon be
utilized. County Clerk Hutchinson
didn't look far into the future when he
secured fine hill tract just west OF The
city and which is even now being con,
nccted by a shell road TO our brick
paved streets. From this site TO the
city is only few moments walk. And
once there you can look over the city
lying below, and see the beautiful river
and the bridges, and you can also sniff
some breezeS that don't get time TO lin
ger in passing over the crowded city.
Ever been up there? If not take the
trip, twill open your eyes to the future
prospects of Palatka.

GIRL DIPLOMATS IN A BUS
How Question of Paying the Fare Was
Settled to the Satisfaction
of All.

Four girls boarded a southbound
bus on Fifth avenue, the other after
noon, and from their conversation 1t
was evident that they were acquaint-
ances who had met after matinee.
The bus jerked its way down one
block, and then the guard, with his
little nickel money box, stuck his
head In the door and looked about
him.
ooh, I have just the right change"
cried the tall dark girl.
well, I haven't any change and I
wanted specially to get some, so
please let me pay" urged the little
blonde.
The girl with the red hair opened a
purse in which four dimes jostled spar
ingly against a dollar bill. E.

politely, 81 really would so much rath-
err"
@But I have the change, and that
makes it so much easier" insisted
the large brunette.
81 have the change, too" murmured
the red-haired one.
But won't you please let me get
this bill changed?" begged the little
blonde, again.
The girl with the red hair make a
skillful effort to extract the four dimes
from her purse, without showing that
only dollar remained behind.
please, let me-" she said again.
The tall blonde with broad shoulders
looked from one to the other of the
girls with change, and then across to
the small person who wanted some,
and smiled blithely.
Il don't know what you are going to
do about it, all of you," she remarked.
But l know what | am going to do
right now. am going to pay my own
fare"
She slipped a dime into the nickel
money box and the others sighed in
relief.
"Then," said the tall brunette, and
the little blonde, and the girl with the
red hair, so shall T."

Mr.. and Mrs. C. II. Worcester of Po
mona passed through the city on We'd
nesday night on their way home from
Havana, Cuba, with the remains OF their
daughter, Miss Doris, who died on the
9th inst. in one of the hospitals OF that
city.
MIR. and Mrs. Worcester are among the

Ter and the restoration of hope, so that
Mr.. Worcester felt that he could come
home and look after pressing matters
of business. Then there was relapse,
then the alternating waves of despair
and hope. Some two weeks or more
ago il was determined that an operation
would be necessary and the patient was
removed to another hospital where an
operation on the brain was made. The
Young lady lived about week after this
operation.
The fear of buboniC plague on the
island and the subsequent order estab,
fishing quarantine, delayed the return OF
the WorceSterS several days, and then
there was trouble in securing permit
for the transportation OF the body But
this was finally secured and the bereaved
are now at their own beautiful home
with the remains OF the daughter who
was the chief Joy and pride of that
home. The funeral will be at the 20.
mona church on Saturday.
Miss Doris Worcester was sixteen
years of age, and a most loVable girl
who reciprocated the ardent devotion OF
her parents. For two years Miss Doris
was student at Rollins College, Winter
Park, but last fall she entered John B.
Stetson University at DeLand. HeI
death will cast a shadow upon the social
life of the students of that institution,
where she was loved, not alone for hei
devotion to her school duties, but fol
the innate beauty OF her character.

After the Insurance Trust.

DR.. John A. Van Nalzah of Daytona
Beach and representative elect from
Nolusa county, was a visitor in the city
Monday night. Dr. Van Valzah is after
the insurance trust and Just now his
work is taking him up and down through
the State getting signatures TO a petition
TO the legislature asking relief in the
passage of certain bills which the doc
Tor intends to introduce and make into
laws. -,
DR.. Van Nalzah is a progressive"
right-none of your near progreSSives.
He can smell trust as lar as any man,
saving only perhaps Jim Alexander OF
the same county; he feels that he has
been selected as one of hundred aud
one to save the people from these giant
incubusSes that are eating the life blood
out OF every poor mans pocket book,
and he'll be blowcd if he intends to dis
appoint the people.
DIR. Van VaIzah. had a long letter is
last weeks Dixie and it reads like the
real stuff" No man can run through
his article and place its author as other
than the real friend of the downtrodden.
He says among other things:
81 believe can propheSy on the
strength of my acquaintance with many
of those who will constitute our next
senate and house that they will salts
factorily account for their presence
there. They are live wired 'progresSiyes'

laws on our statutes after our next legiS

people of Florida from the insurance
trust; the second, a bill requiring fire

amount of the premium for which they

The doctor is going TO make an earn
est worker in the coming Legislature
that much is sure, and in these insuranc,
cases 10 which he has given mucl
thought, the people will recognize evil
that ought 10 be remedied.
We are paying too much for our in
surance; trust makes rates; that mucl
is sure. Whether or not the doctor
bills are the remedy for these evils re
mains to be seen.
One thing is sure DR.. Van Nalzah is

Was Accidentally Drowned.

The body of man was found floating
in the river near Fairview last Tuesday
and when recovered proved TO be that
of William Wilson Lawton.
His identity was established by Mr..
w. f. Flanders of this city who had
known the deceased for thirty years.
IrscemS that for some time past MIR.
Lawton has been living at Sanford,
though little is known Of his life there.
1t was probably not successful as he had
determined TO leave that place. He ar.
rived here several weeks ago in small
sail boat which he tied up at the dock
and in which he lived. While here he
was taken sick and Mr.. Flanders took
him TO his home and nursed him. He
left here in his boat last Monday.
Justice John f. Marshall and Deputy
Sheriff Hagan summoned a jury and
held an inquest. From the testimony il
was dcduced that deceased came to his
death from accidental drowning. II is
supposed that the row boat which he
towcd with him in some way got loose
and drifted away; that he took off his
outside clothes and started TO swim fol
the boat; that in this attempt he wa:
drowned. 1t was the opinion OF Under

SEEKING eAsPARlLLA TREASURE
IN OLD CHARLOTTE HAR5oR.
Party From Tampa Spending Thou
sands of Dollars Trying to Locate
Supposed $11,ooo,0oo Fortune.

Tampa.-With $11,3O0,000 almost in
their grasp a party of Tampans are
fighting mosquitoes and sweating
blood at Coral creek, nine miles north
of Boca Grande, on the mainland, IN
an effort to recover the treasure Gas
parilla, the pirate, sunk there years
ago.
1t is no joke. A Tampa paving con-
tractor and man of wealth is enough
impressed by the ancient chart john
Downing, possessor of the secret, has,
to invest $4,000 in caissons, pumps
and machinery. They have bored
through the old chest in which the
treasure was sunk are declared to
have brought up scraps of gold and
are sure they will all be millionaires.
Captain Downing has been known
for many years in this port. He COM
manded small fishing schooners and
trading smacks. Recently he. contid-
ed to friends that he had a chart OF
the buried treasure.
He interested R. c. Newton, a To-
cal engineer, who from the lnforma-
ton given him by Downing made a
survey and established location for
the supposed hidden horde. 1t is in
the middle of fiat covered by water
Then the crew of treasure seekers be-
gan their work.
A steel caisson, three feet in diam
eter, was sunk. Down through the cen
ter a drill was sent. 1t bored hrst
through sand, then cement, then
through copper, and at last brought
up a thread of gold-so it Is said
Thus they feel that the treasure has
been located.
The legend is that Gasparilla and
his band, close pressed by British
warships, entered Charlotte harbor
placed all of their treasure in a yawl
boat, poled it onto the mudtiats, GOV
cred it with cement and sank it II
the sand. And down it has been go
ing, it is supposed, until now it II
twenty feet or more beneath the sur
face.
Downing says he'll never show thu
chart until the money is found.
The men interested are as serious
as can be and have already spen
nearly four thousand dollars. The!
do not believe there is any signiti
canoe in the fact that their treasure
spot is located near Lemon bay.
