TAM PA

A mighty evolution has gone on in
Tampa since our last visit there. As
coming events cast their shadows
before" it is not difficult to forecast
the future of this wonderful city One
can almost see its destiny photo
graphed as on the film of moving pic
ture and spread out before him on
canvas, with all the adornments and
activities that belong to a growing
city of an awakened section.
The growth on Franklin street is
simply marvellous. Magic-like is it
"white-way," stretching as it does for
long distance in both directions,
with its many pretty and dazzling
electric signs The picture it presents

! pleasing to the senses. Than Tam
pas principal business thoroughfare
| few streets in the south are more bril-
liantly and beautifully illuminated,
or are undergoing more rapid trans
| formation into all that betokens a
great modern city. 1t is but an index
finger pointing to the change of the
"old landmarks" that were so familiar
to the writer.
The transformation is almost COM
plete, and the Tampa of the 'olden
time" is being rapidly obliterated. It
is answering the call and illustrates
that new occasions teach new du-
ties" and that the citizenship of Tam
pa are equal to their opportunities.
Ocean-going steamers now anchor
almost in the very heart of the city,
and an estuary is being made all the
way to Ybor City, which will make
Tampa's docking facilities unsurpass-
ed by any city in the south.
Her cigar industry continues to ex-
pand, and for the manufacture of this
almost toy-like device that has given
solace and consolation to such a large
portion of the human race, Tampa
continues to hold the blue ribbon"

The growth of your city since then
reminds me that we are living in an
age remarkable for city building.

tower of Babel and larger than the
palace Of the Caesars-are tire won

eigners visiting our shores,
With all the old antagonisms root
ed out, with charity and love for all,
with the trend of immigration in this
direction. with the raw products with
in easy reach, and an inviting climate,
it does not require seer or prophet to
foretell the destiny that awaits us of
the south, and especially of your city
the gateway to Panama.
In the past the growth of our state
was hampered by many and formida
BILE causes. There were several chang
es of flags There was a seyen-years
war with the Seminoles; then there
was another Indian outbreak as late
as 1857; then the civil war in 1861;
then the reconstruction that followed;
to say nothing of the many repelling
yellow fever outbreaks. Now, all
these hindrances have been removed,
and there is opened a doorway to rich
es as aIluring and inspiring as were
Napoleons words to his soldiers when
he proclaimed to them that Beyond
the Alps lies Italy"
We can proudly say to the world
that we have stamped out yellow fe
yer, and it is no more the dread that
it was in former years, and will retard
our growth no longer and this being
true, our marshes. swamps and over
flowed lands will become the chief
stone of the corner in the monster ag-
ricultura1 explorations that are now
on foot.
We have conquered prejudice, and
the animosities engendered by the
civil war will no more be a clog to
our progress.
Our friends across the border are
beginning to be in sympathy with us,
and are helping us in our efforts to
carry to its best solution the white

stead of exciting rancor and bitter

This leads me to say that the war
is over and it's bitter memories are
fast fading away, and this nation, un-
der God, is again reunited, and is
stronger in every part than it was be-
fore our prolonged unpleasantness; ;
our civil war drums are muffled and
will be heard no more forever, and

In my judgment, and in the judg-

And this leads me to say that, al

the south has right to be proud-in-

1t was the progressive yet conserv-
alive thinking men of the south who
guided this nation in her formative
period.
1t was largely through the eloquence
of Patrick Henry that the flames were
famed that led to our separation from
the mother country; it was jefferson
who penned the declaration of indie

the armies to victory; it was Jackson
who won the battle of New Orleans;
it was Scott and Taylor who led our
victorious armies into the very halls
of the Montezumas; it was Jefferson's
clear vision who perceived it's advan-

EASY TO MAKE ARTISTIC TRAY
How Souvenirs Of Pleasant Travel
May Be Fashioned into Dainty
Articles for tho Table.


Sea moss, ferns and flowers, asso-
ciated with memories OF pleasant
hours spent by the seaside or in the
country, may be preserved in a most
artistic but practical way in the form
of trays and glass table protectors.
One Of the most beautiful of these
trays was seen in a well-known jewel.
er's window. 1t was made with the
brown seeds Of the milkweed and the
fluffy satiny wings which, carry the
seeds away. Small yellow butterflies,
which may be seen fiuttering along
almost every country roadside, were
arranged SO as to be over and around
the milkweed. This artistic picture
was framed between two pieces OF
transparent glass and bound together
with rim Of silver.
While one may not be able to buy
these trays, bound In silver, they can
be made at home with slight expense
by framing between glass or binding
the edge with rafia and reed.
Ferns, seaweed, or even autumn
leaves, arranged between glasses
framed in mahogany, with handles at.
tached, make very good-looking and
dainty trays, while saving these bits
of out-of.doors for us.
Protectors for the polished table
and desk can be readily made. A table
protector. made in circular form,
with milkweed and butterflies, can be
framed with raffia instead of silver.
Bind the two pieces of glass together
with passepartout binding, then make
narrow frame of raffla and reed,
using the lazy squaw stitch. Use
brown raffia and the effect will be
most delightful.
The ferns and grasses could be
mounted on cardboard over which pom.
gee is tightly stretched, and then
framed under glass. The pongee forms
neutral background, which looks
we'll with the brown and green of the
woods.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

ADMINISTRATIVE FEATURES.
General Provisions Governing the
Levying of the New Rates.

Levying of the New Rates.
WASHINGTON-The administra-
tive features of the bill are very
comprehensive. In their preparation
the Ways and Means Committee and
the Finance Committee studied the
reports of two Government commits
sions, and another report from the
General Board of Customs Apprais-
ers.
Under the new legal regulations
all merchandise imported into the
United States is held to be the prop
erty of the person to whom it is con-
signed or who holds the bill of lad
ing.
Invoices shall be made out in the
currency of the country where the
merchandise is made or purchased,
or agreed to be purchased, and shall
contain a description OF the merchan-
disc. 1t is required that a statement
shall be made in the invoice of the
purchase price agreed upon, and that
transactions that are actual pur-
chases and sales shall be entered as
such. Invoices shall have entered
thereon statement signed by the
purchaser or owner setting forth that
the invoice is correct. If it is bill
of sale the price agreed upon shall
he stated, Whep AobtsipeSh ~ any,
other manner than by purchase the
wholesale price in the markets of the
country of export shall be stated.
This paragraph follows, in large
measure, provision of Section OF
the Payne law, except for the inser-
ton of the words, "or when pur-
chases are made in several places in
the Consular district, where the mer-
chandise is assembled for shipment"
and makes changes with reference to
agreements to purchase.
The conferees rewrote a provision
in this section. 1t provides that
when merchandise arrives in the
United States and remains the prop
erty OF the shipper, or consignor, the
acceptance of a fraudulent or false
invoice thereof by the consignee or
his agent or the existence of any
other facts constituting an attempted
, fraud shall be deemed an attempt
to enter such merchandise, notwith-
standing no actual entry Sas been
made or offered.

its plan or meet the importation OF
eggs free of duty.
The most vital changes made by
the conferees are given in the fol-
lowing recapitulation;
House rates on Photographic, sur
veying, opera glasses and similar in
struments were reduced. Cement,
asphalt and limestone were placed
on the free list.
Pig iron, scrap iron and ferro-
manganese. used in making high
priced steel, were free listed. Steel
products rates were generally re-
duced. House rates on zinc were in
creased.
Postponerent of the placing of
sugar on the free list was agreed
upon.
All euty was removed from cattle,
sheep and other rood animals, wheat
and its products and eggs. House
duties on oats, butter, beets, peas,
currants, chocolate and cocoa were
cut.
To Reduce Cost of Living.

colate. and cocoa from 25 per cent.
ad Yalorem, to 2 cents a pound.
To Save S1,ooo,o 100000 a Year.
In preparing estimates on the bill,
Mr.. Underwood figured that it will
save Consumers approximately SIR
ooo,oooOoo annually. The free list
alone should save approximately
$500,000,00O annually, he estimated.
