WITH THE n. T.. A., THROUGH
FLORIDA AND CUBA
CONTINUED from last week.
ST. AUGUSTINE. FLORIDA

Extending from the inlet opposite
the city, To Matanzas inlet, eighteen
miles TO the south. is the island of
ST. Anastasia.
Here the lighthouse Is situated. a
round tower 1865 feet in height that
cost the United States 100000 90.
The lantern which flashes the light
at intervals OF three minutes, throws
It's rays nineteen miles out TO sea.
This lighthouse was built in
1S72-73. and takes the place of the
old Spanish lighthouse. the coquina
ruins of which are to be seen on
the shore, a short distance TO the
northeast.
The original lighthouse was built
as a watch tower n replaced a
wooden scaffolding raised by the
first settlers TO watch for friend or
foe, approaching the town. II was
the scaffolding that attracted Drake
to the inlet and the city in 1856.
On this Island are the coquina
quarries, a stone formed OF a soft
collection OF shells, sand. and shell
fragments of variegated colors.
firmly cemented together by action
Of rain water percolating the mass
and partly dissclving the lime sub
stance Of the shell.
Thig stone is easily quarried and
hardens on exposure TO the sun and
air, II IL OF this stone that Fort
Marion, the City Gates. the Sea
Wall and the old houses OF the
town are constructed.
Anastasia Island is one of the
exclusive residence districts OF the
city. Here. at the beautiful coun-
try home of Miss Lillian White,
Of the business and professional
women's forum, the party were
entertained at a delightful recep-
lion being entertained with a
spanish program OF song and dance
which was fascinating, particularly
he fandango, which was executed
most gracefully by a group Of black
syed, oliye-skinned Spanish senior
itas.
Another point of Interest was
the visit to the Hastings potato

and genuineness of their welcome
radiating from their happy faces as
the ladies smilingly served us with
delicious fruit punch; the gentle
men presented glasses of guava
jelly, orange Elarmalade and bounti-
full supplies of luscious oranges
while the children showered us
with flowers. We travelled in this
manner over hundreds Of miles of
Velvet Highways" for millions OF
dollars have been spent by those
counties for paved roads and we
were Wined, dined and Toasted al
most every mile of the way. The

prefer. and yet nea enough to the
great beaches and resorts, and on
such splendid paved highways, so
TO be within an hour or two of all
the whirl and excitement when they
desire a change to that sort of
thing for a season. OF the towns
so visited all are entitled to equal
share in the gratitude OF the Wis
itors. All played their part in the
entertainment and played II we'll.
The program was carried out like
clock work and with an enthusiasm
which was a marvel to all. Enough
cannot be said of those who made
our visit among them so delightful
and OF the ideal country in which
they live. II is a land of homes
and lucky is the one who a call
Il HOME.
On a trip of this kind one does
not give too much thought to the
material things. yet scenery will
scarcely satisfy a hungry stoma'h.
We have dwelt so a: Length on the
scenery. the flowers and the other
beautiful things that our readers
may think the material was neglec-
ted. No. so. The generous Flor
idians feasted us an along the way.
From the hour we reached the bor-
ders Of that great state until the
day We reluctantly sgid goodbye

most part. we were served "All

learning. being the home Of the
University Of Florida. which in
cludes an agricultural college and
experiment station. The educational
advantages and the moderate-priced
boarding facilities attract many Wis
itors who are in quest Of quietude
and higher education. The many
lakes and streams OF the surround
ing country afford fine fishing. and
there is good shooting IN the up
lands. Here we were entertained

finest Irish potatoes just ready for
market. The potatoes are not COM

did formerly but the growers seem

we might say that, while conditions

requires the payment to be made in

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Geographically, the West Wisconsin
Conference, which is to meet in Vir0-
qua on the 3lst of August covers about
o'le-haf of the state. In this terri
tory there are five districts: La
Crosse, Madison, EauClaire, Superior
and Platteville Each district has
about 35 charges and superintend-
ent. Many of the charges have sever
al churches, indeed very few are single
congregations. Some of them have as
many as five or six small congrega-
tons. There are 165 pastors with sew
eral on the retired list. The church
buildings of the conference are valued
at two million dollars and the parson-
ages at half a million. The member
ship is nearly 10000. There was an
increase of more than $500 last year.
Members of the Sunday schoolnumber
nearly $4,000. There was raised in
the conference last year for missions
and other benevolent purposes $2IS,-
900.
The other conference in the eastern
part of the state is fully as large as
the western with slightly bigger
membership, The combined member
ship is more than 10000, which does
not include those whose leanings are
toward the Methodist church, but who
are not members. There are many
thousands Of these.
Attendance at the conference here
at Viroqua promises to be large. Most
of the ministers are planning to bring
their wives, and the lay delegate from
nearly every charge mas written that
he expects to come.
