THE CITY HALL LOT

The matter of buying the lot OPP
posite the Coast Line station will
come before the city council at it's
next meeting, Tuesday evening, Feb.
II. Decision must be made at that
time as the option on the lot will ex-
pire Feb. 20.
The Star has consulted number
of leading citizens, among them we'll
posted real estate men, who consider
the price, s12,500, very reasona-
bic one. The Star is also informed
that a responsible party is ready to
give S14, goo for the lot if the city
does not buy it.
The city, of course, cannot put up
the needed buildings at once. 1t
may be some years before it can do
50. By that time, however, the lot,
which is the best situated for the
purpose, will be out of its reach If
it buys the lot now, it can at once
erect the library, and by good work
and economy can put up the other
buildings later.
The Star suggests that the city
buy the lot if possible. Then, in
vite the Woman's Club to take the
| property in hand and by cooperation
with the council make of it a beauty
spot; construct a sidewalk along the
west side, plant oak or palm trees
around the entire property, put in
st. Augustine grass and shrubbery
with seats and water fountains and
make it a comfortable place for our
visitors, citizens generally and child
rem to gather and pass an afternoon
or evening, and by the time the city
! is in position to build the needed
municipal buildings the property
would be an addition to the town OF
| inestimable value.

JACKSONVILLE
SHOULD BE GENEROUS

According TO statements today
from J. G. Rice, superintendent of
publicity for the coming Confederate
reunion, and d. G. Herrin, chairman
OF the finance committee, a lack of
immediate funds may divert the
holding Of the reunion in Jackson
Vile to. some other Southern city
during next May. It is stated that
prospective subscribers to the fund
in this city have not awakened to
the fact that about $4,000 is nee
essary in the very near future to as
sure the success of the reunion, and
but few have come to the front with
their share Of the funds.-Metrop-
oils.
The Star will be very sorry if
Jacksonville falls down on this
proposition. 1t would be a black
eye for city which claims so much
enterprise, and would reflect some
what on the state at large.

Then and Now.

IN 1899, during the famous Goebel
convention, Hon. J c. w. Beckham
Sas a candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor with his headquarters in a
room at the Gait House located across
a hall from a room occupied by two
members of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee. The committeeman
on the day of the convention were
surprised to find a large case of
whisky in their room, from one of
the leading liquorfirms of Louisville.
A close examination of the address
showed that it was intended for the
room across the way and the porter
was called to correct his mistake
It was taken into Mr.. Beckham' S
room and very little prohibition talk
was heard in the room while it last.
ed. Mr.. Beckahm was nominated
for lieutenant governor and subse-
quently becamegovernor. This year
ne is running for Senator and again
shas headquarters in Louisville, but
there is no accurate data as to what
beverages his managers keep on
hand.

HIGH PRICE OF HUSBANDS
Leads to Suicide Among Young
Bengal Girls.

Calcutta Cor. New York Times)
The Statesman Of this city prints
the following paragraph:
st appears that quite a new
spirit has arisen among the girlhood
of the Bengal race. Bengal has of
late witnessed with aston SHIN u.
akin to feeling of reverence and
admiration a number of cases of self
immolation of tender Bengal girls"
What this Hindu writer thus COM
placently describes is in reality q
curious epidemic of suicide. 1t be-
gan some weeks ago with self-de-
struction of a girl named Snehaata.
whose father was about to mort
gage his property in order to pay
the purchase price of husband for
her.
The sum now demanded by the
fathers of eligible boys in Bengal liz
ruinously high. The price of a Kay
saith who has graduated may go up
to 10000 rupees (S3 3OO). 1900 ru-
pses is a quite usual demand, and
even a matriculate can command
500 rupees. The enhancement of
rates is due to the law of supply and
demand. Girls must ordinarily be
married before puberty. while the
increasing requirements of educs-
ton lead to the postpoleme,t of the
marriage of boys. There is thus a
diminishing supply of husbands,
where's the demand is unchanged.
The suicide of Snehalata. who
poured kerosene oil over her clothing
and set herself on fire. provoked an
outburst of admiration among mar
rage reformers and the fathers of
marriageable girls. The natural re-
suit is that other young girls have
followed the example of Snehalata,
while 1t is common talk among
school girls that when the time
comes for their marriage they will
sacrifice themselves in the same way.

DENIES INSANITY
ON THE INCREASE

Chicago, July 14.-Dr. George A.
Zeller, of Peoria. H.. member of the
Illinois board of administration, took
issue today with other speakers at
the meeting here of alienists and
neurologists, when he denied that
insanity is on the increase. He as
serted that an apparent increase was
due to improved conditions that re-
suited in greater proportion of
such cases being reported.
DR.. Julius Grinker. of Chicago,
said that the primitive custom of
casting defective children into the
river again might become a custom
if better remedies could not be dis
covered.
Resolutions were adopted con-
demning the use of liquor and urg-
ing public hospitals for inebriates.

The Navy Department acted at the

be regarded as almost hopeless of q

success of the business second only
to her interest in Mr.. Rogers. 1t was
not like him to write in that way;
in fact, if he were in his right mind
he could not possibly have done so.
A hasty survey of the situation, and
she decided to take the next boat back
to America, which she duly did.
Meanwhile little Miss Smith was
demonstrating her incapacity at ev-
cry turn. Her spelling might have
delighted. the heart of Mr.. Carnegie,
though it went somewhat beyond his
own ideas of reform, but her tran
scrption could have delighted no
man. Miss Smith cherished the idea
that Vowels were an immaterial cpl
sode in a letter. So that, when Mr..
Rogers best customer received
communication informing him that
the goods which he had ordered had
a ticking effect (Mr Rogers had die
tated "taking"), and wrote back can
ceiling his order, Mr.. Rogers perceived
Miss Smiths days were numbered.
And when a letter slipped past his
scrutiny gratuitously instructing a
large tailor that he could supply him.
with some fine drool for white waist
coasts (Which should have been
"drill'') Mr.. Rogers sat down to cogi-
tate.
The result was that, being some
thing of timorous as well as a kind
hearted man, he placed a note upon
Miss Smiths desk during her lunch
hour, informing her that two months
salary would be at her disposal, and
that it would be advisable for her to
look about for a more congeniaI po-
sition.
Ten minutes after Miss Smith had
departed for lunch in happy ignor-
ance of her impending downfall Miss
Burton walked in from the dock.
Mr.. Rogers and Miss Burton were
accustomed to greeting each other
more as old friends, but when Miss
