Judge Millard was elected president:

Ryder secretary and treasurer.
Ryder objected to one OF the by
laws which provided that no checks

the president Ryder's argument was
that II would be inconvenient for him
TO have to send check 10 TarrytowI

otherwise.
For two months Ryder made no men

Brooks. Judge Millard and others re-
called that Ryder had offered 10 work

that Ryder would have TO go on with

good cause. Il thought Ryder's mo-

Judge Milard.
This request for n salary surprised
Ryder's associates. All had thought he

FLAT RATE ON FLORIDA. FRUIT
Half Cent a Pound on Oranges,
Grapefruit, Lines and
Lemons

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The Sen
ate, at the request OF the finance
committee, has changed the tariff
bills provisions on citrus fruits so
that the bill now provides a straight
duty of half of one cent per pound
on lemons, lines, oranges, grape
fruit and the like. All references to
the size Of fruit boxes was struck out
of the bill.
Senator Williams, presenting the
committee amendment, said the
finance committee had found that
boxes varied greatly and that the
only fair basis of the levying of
tariff was that of the actual weight
of the fruit
The present rate on oranges and
grapefruit is one cent a pound. The
rate on lemons is a cent and a half
pound.

A South Florida League Composed of

Tampa TO put that city in the Sally

comes back in the Tribune and
wants to know why, when there are
so many Florida cities which can
and will support a good state league.
The News likes the fans comment
as outlined in his interview, but sug-
gests that Clearwater, one of the
best ball towns in South Florida, be
included in the circuit. The gate re-
ceipts during the past week of base
ball in this city, shows Clearwater
can support organized baseball The
fan says:
Wouldn't it be better for Tampa
to help form South Florida league
composed of eight. good cities in
South Florida? There are enough of
them that are large enough to sup
port organized baseball and while
the league would be a class D in
stead of a class c league, still it
would provide an article of baseball
that would be without discount.
What cities would | have in it?
How would this list do? Tampa, St.
Petersburg, Bradentown, Lakeland,

ITCHING AND BURNING

Iberia, MOT was troubled with
scalp eczema for about five years and
tried everything 1 heard of, but all OF
no avail. The doctors told me l would
have to have my head shaved. Being
q woman, I hated the idea of that. l
was told by a friend that the C%uticura
Remedies would do me good. This
spring l purchased two boxes of Cuti-
cura Ointment and one cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap. After using one box OF
Cuticura Ointment l considered the
cure permanent, but continued to use
1T to make sure and used about n
half the other box. Now 1 am entirely
we'll. I also used the Cuticura Soap.
THE disease began on the back Of
my head, taking the form of a ring
worm, only more severe, rising to a
thick, rough scale that would come OF
when soaked with oil or warm water,
bringing a few hairs each time, but in
a few days would form again, larger
each time, and spreading until the en-
tire back of the head was covered with
the scale. This was accompanied by
a terrible itching and burning sensa-
ton. Now my head is completely we'll

AN OPIUM BONFIRE in CHINA
ParaphernaIia confiscated From
Smokers by Authorities Is Burned
Once Every Month.

A quantity OF opium pipes. lamps,
and paraphernalia for the preparing
of the drug, to the total value of
than 10000 taels, was publicly burned
in the presence of Chinese officials
and a squad Of soldiers on the empty
space of ground behind the British
concession in Hakow.
The goods represented the results
of a months raiding in and about the
city. The opium, which was the ma
tive product, and the other articles
were piled In a heap opposite the
Ningpo club and were thoroughly
soaked in kerosene and packed round
about with firewood.
This was set fire to, kerosene being
poured on the Eonfire when the flames
showed signl IF dying down. Not
a clay vial was left. The burning is
carried out once a month, this being
the second time, and a different place
is selected for each fire. The opium
and utensils were wholly confiscated
from smokers. The smokers were
fined or imprisoned.

six-Mme Depth.

A surveying ship Of the German
navy has recently discovered the
deepest known spot in the ocean. 1t
is near the Philippines. about 40 sea
miles off the north coast of Mindanao.
Great depths were found to be
numerous in this region, but the rec
ord sounding showed the amazing re-
suit of $3.50 meters, or 406 feet more
han six miles.
The greatest ocean depth hitherto
known vas found by the United
States cable steamer Nero in 1901.
This spot vas TO the south of the
Island of Guam, and the deep sea land
indicated $685. meters-just a little
less than six miles.

Affection Causes Dogs Death.

Natural affection on the part of a
dog vas instanced in a remarkable
name at Beaumont, in the province
of Saone-et-Loire, France, a few days
ago. One of the Inhabitants drove out
of the town into the forest to gather
firewood, taking with him the dog,
which he left to guard his a and bas-
ket Of food while he wandered about
gathering wood. In his absence the
dog gave birth to three puppies, and
the wood gatherer, when he started
home, forgot to place the puppies in
the cart with their mother. During the
night the dog jumped over a fence and
ran the whole distance, some ten miles,
to the spot where the puppies had been
left, and brought one back in her
mouth. Then she made two more jour-
neys in order to bring back the other
two. Altogether she covered a dis
tance of about sixty miles in the night.
The next morning her master found
her dead in the yard by the side of her
puppies, which were alive and well.

Substitute for Grass.

An interesting experiment in horti-
culture was made some time back at
the garden laid out at the site of the
King Edward VII. memorial statute in
Delhi, India. In order to insure a
green surface at the time Of the stone
laying ceremony, "methi" (~trigonella)
seed was sown when the grass was
planted. The "methi" sprang up in
about a month and maintained q green
surface throughout the cold weather,
which could be smoothly mown and
did not interfere with the growth Of
the grass. The ground was allowed to
get dry at the beginning of the hot
weather, and within a week the
"methi" had died out, leaving good
lawns in its place. The "methi," be-
longing to the order of "Leguminosae,'
acts as a manure and leaves the soil
richer in available heterogeneous matter.

Factories That Float.

Floating factories have become an
important part of the development
of the forest u Of India. In
certain parts of the country forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense Of
erecting land plants for the utilization
of the lumber u makes such
a course impracticable. Therefore
sawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed.
After the lumber is prepared in a
sawmill it can be packed in a way
that makes transportation much more
economical than any system Of log
ging. Plants for the preparation Of
tannin extracts have also been estab-
lished in this manner. The plants are
built on fiat boats, 200 feet long by
81 feet wide, capable OF carrying a
load of 470 tons.
