COLOR BLINDNESS.
The Incident That Opened John Del.
 toms Eyss to His .Affiietion.

John Dalton, the famous English chemist and natural philosopher, with out whose discovery of the laws or chemical combination chemistry as an exact science could hardly exist. was wholly color blind. His knowledge Of the fact came about by happening or the sort which we call chance. On his mothers birthday, when he was man of twenty-six. he took her a pair Of stockings which he had seen in shop window, labeled. "Silk. the newest fashion"
 '-Thee hast bought me pair of grand hose. John." said the mother, "but what made thee fancy such a bright color? Why, I can never show myself at meeting in them.
 John was much disconcerted, but he told her that he considered the stock ings to be of very proper go to meet ing color, as they were a dark bluish drab.
 "Why. they're as red as cherry. John.' was her astonished reply.
 Neither he nor his brother. Jonathan, could see anything but drab in the stockings, and they rested in the be- lief that the good wife's eyes were out of order until she, having consulted various neighbors. returned with th9 verdict, "varra fine stuff. but uncom- mon scarlety."
 The consequence was that John Da ton became the first to direct the at tention of the scientific world to the subject of color blindness.

His father was Antonio Ferra- gut of Ciudadella, MinOrca. In that form the name is traced back continu- ously to Don Pedro Ferragut. who fought with James l. of Aragon in ex- polling the Moors from Minorca in 1229. In the interval the Ferraguts played a prominent part in the affairs of the Balearic islands. - New York Slln

Peculiar Mode of Life of the Celebrated
 Italian Poet.

Peculiar Mode of Life of the Celeorateo
 Italian Poet.
 Metastasio Q69s- 17S2). the celebrated dramatic and operatic poet, spent fifty five years in Vienna with the Marines family without ever learning German or wishing to learn it.
 Besides his utter indifference to all speech but Italian, Metastasio possess ed many peculiarities of character. None might mention death in his pres ence. Those who alluded to smallpox before him he made it point not to see again. In all his fifty-five years in Vienna he never gave away more than the equivalent of $25 to the poor. He always occupied the same seat at church, but never paid for it.
 Metastasio took all his meals in the most mysterious privacy. His great est friends had never seen him eat any thing but biscuit with some lemon ade. Nothing would induce him to dine away from home. He never changed his wig or the cut or color of his coat.
 Metastasio was to have been present ed to the pope the day he died and raved about the intended interview in the delirium of his last moments. Mrs. Piozzi familiar to readers of Boswells life of Dr. Johnson" as Mrs. Thralc' collected these particulars from the Ia dies of the Marines family, with whom MetastasiO was so long dOmesticated without speaking or understanding a word of their language from first to IoSf

BOYS OF COMPANY B
Refuse to Allow Christian and HaI =
risOn to Bully Them Out
of their Rights

Tallahassee, Aug. 2.-(Special to
the Tampa Tribune. Last night in
stead of going to drill the Tallahas-
see members of Company B. Florida
National Guard, went to Quincy and
arranged to meet the men of the COM
pany who live in Quincy, at the Ock
locknee bridge at noon today for the
purpose of electing a captain and
other officers. Then they spent the
remainder of the night looking up
those members who reside in the ru-
raj districts to tell them to be at the
secret meeting today. Y. L. Watson,
CT Quincy, was elected as attorney for
the men of Company B.
The news of the planned secret
meeting having reached the COVER
ror's ears, the boys feared officers
might be sent to order them to dis
perse, so they congregated at a resi-
dence on another country road in this
county and elected J. Douglas Hop
k;ns of Tallahassee, captain; w. w.
Wright, of Quincy, first lieutenant,
and H. Clay Crawford Jr., of Talla-
hassee, second lieutenant. Young
Crawford held this position up to a
week ago when he resigned it as a
result of the rebellion in the COM
pany against the appointment of Sid
ney J. Cats Jr., son of the governor,
as captain, by the adjutant general.
Forty-six members of the company
were present and enough written
proxies were on hand to make the
election regular, it is said.
Not a Vote for Young Cats
In order that it might be determin.
ed whether or not young Cats was
desired to head the company and tc
make the election appear all the more
regular, young Crawford, at the meet.
ing Of the company on the roadside
nominated Sidney ]. Cats Jr. fol
captain. When the vote was taker
the election of Hopkins was unani
nous. The result was certified to thu
governor and to the adjutant genera
and a copy sent to Congressman
Frank Clark at Washington, who haC
advised the boys to pursue this course
sending them word that if they fount
themselves in trouble as result o.
their action he would not "try'' to ge
them out of it, but that he would "ge
them out of it."
The election today was held unde,
the act of the last legislature
ter 1898, No. 35-which provides tina
each company shall elect its officers
Adiutant General Christian wirer
Lieutenant Wright not to take par
in the election and other commission
ed officers were given similar warn
ings, but the election was held never
theless.
Seven men reported for drill las
night, most of the others havin
either gone to Quincy to arrange fo
the quiet election today or being bus
getting word to the members of tn
company who reside in the countr!
The question now is whether youn
: Cats is captain still or will be re
! duced to private of Company B,
which he recently enlisted.
