The Star is always anxious to help
every worthy cause. We wish to call
attention to the fact that the colored
people of the state Will have a great
gathering here soon. From the 18th
10 the 24th of this month, the colored
Grand Lodge, knights of Pythias will
convene in this city with from 1000 to
1900 delegates and visitors in attend
ance. This Will probably be the 1arg-
est gathering of colored people that
has ever been held in one place in
Florida, and they will be here for six
days 1t is going to be a big under
taking for the colored people TO care
for them, though it is no charitable
affair, and every one will pay his own
way. The colored people, however,
will be to considerable expense to give
their visitors a good time and to sup
ply the expenses incident to such a
gathering viii call on the business
people for a little help. A gathering
of this kind week in city will leave
lot of money here and it will come
back to the til1s of the merchants sew

The Star regrets to see the f1aring

was too rank for the article that fol.
lowed it. altho that was rank in its
reference to Jacksonville and inappro-
PIRATE for a Florida paper to print.
The Star doesn't approve of our state
papers denouncing their state metrop-
oils as a den of vice It is not good
policy. and what is more, it is not true.
The writer is tolerabIy well acquainted
with Jacksonville. to which he has
been a frequent visitor during the last
twenty-seven years. 1t is like almost
any other town of its size-respecta-
bic people can live in it lifetime and
meet very few but respectable people.
There are unexcelled facilities in it for
remaining respectable. Also, people
who hunt for it can find as rank and
fragrant vice as they can find any
where. The angel of the Lord could
not find ten good men in Sodom. He
could find ten thousand in Jackson

Seed store. gave the information that
there has been planted this season an
unusually large amount Of staple crops
and, too. there has been an extra large
acreage Of varied crops planted, which
IS well for the general condition Of the
county, as the farmer is then not de-
pendent on any one crop or any one
market for his output.
The return OF the farmer to the sta
pie crops is a good sign. and always
carries prosperity in it's wake, and the
farmer has always on hand the staples

The Times Union has a very and de-
sefvedly popular department called
short Talks the editor of which
benevolently and enterprisingly de-
votes himself to writing nice little
notices of the improvements mention
ed in the various Florida communities
by their local papers. Its lovely de-
partment, and the Star used to swell
with joyful pride to find itself men
toned often in ii in days gone by. For
the Star is right on the job in telling
about local improvements. Improve
ment is the Stars middle name The
Star has been printing about improve
ments right along for the last few
weeks as busy as ever; some new
building, or big crop prospect, or prize
hog, or bully beef. or somethingorother
almost every day. But its had no
mention in Short Talks not, since it
began roasting the Atlantic Coast
Line. Said roasting brought about two
marked improvements: the Coast Line
stopped hauling white people in jim
crow car on its Homosassa division,
and 1t filled up the hog wallow at the
Ocala passenger station. But these
were not mentioned in Short Talks.
Nor anything else the Star has boost
ed of late. Sometimes, when the Star
has told of something good, and the
Banner comes along a day or so later
and speaks of it, Short Talks gives it a
sweet little mention. It's evident the
Star has displeased Short Talks or the
Coast Line or somebody. But it doesn't
seem to be displeasing its home folks.

1t is not any wonder that the lower

against the mental anguish dispatch
in the Times Union. Such stuff has no
business in any dispatch The Star
doubts that the T-Us. Tallahassee

like it was written in the Times
Union Office. The same might be said
of the dispatch in Mondays paper, re-

peculiar, to say the least, that such
lucid and comprehensive reasoning in
favor OF corporations and lobbyists is
autographed at such length to the

NEW ALPS TUNNEL.
Officially Opened July 15-Cost
$6S5,OOO Mile to Build.

The first train through the new
Lotschberg tunnel went from Berne,
Switzerland to Brigue on the morning
of June %, bearing public officials,
but the tunnel was not opened for
general traffic until July Is.
The tunnel is 14,605 metres in
length or nine miles 126 yards, or,
with the 33 smaller tunnels which
approach it, 16 miles 947 yards. 1t
has cost, on the average, S6S5,O00 a
mile to construct.
In the Lotschberg tunnel sixty
four lives in all have been lost, as
compared with fifty-two in the Sim
plon, ninety-two in the Arlberg, and
III on the St. Gothard. On the ap-
proach lines to the Lotschberg forty
eight more lives were lost, making
a total of 112 fatal accidents, to
which must be added 1856 "slight'
accidents and ten serious ones (that
is, accidents leaving some. perman-
ent effects) in the tunnel itself, and
.C,7S3 accidents, slight and serious
taken together, On the two approach
lines-11,379 in all. Considering tnat
the entire Lotschberg lire from Fru-
tigen to Brigue is only about 81 IL
miles long, the loss Of life must be ad-
mitted to be considerable, working
out at nearly three lives per mile for
the whole line.
1t is difficult, however, to make a
really trustworthy comparison Of the
different Alpine tunnels as regards
the loss of life involved in their con-
struction, for the number of shifts
worked must always be taken into
consideration, this number having
been S,500,O00 on the Gothard, only
100000 on the Lotschberg, and T.
900, COCOON theSimplon. Moreoverthe
maximum number of men employed at
any one time on the Simplon was
only 1000 and on the Lotschberg 10,-
900. Again, part of the Simplon
tunnel having been under Italian
law, and the whole of the Lotschberg
under Swiss law, comparison of the
numbers of non-fatal accidents be-
comes quite impossible, for the Swiss
law only compels the reporting by
the contractors of accidents such as
to disable man for six days or more,
while the Italian regulations re-
quire an accident incapitating a man
for only one day to be reported.
For the blasting of the Simplon
about 1850 tons of dynamite were
used; for the blasting of the Lotsch-
berg-the great tunnel and the
thirty-three smaller tunnels on the
two approach lines-about 1,447
tons.-Berne dispatch.
