Rev. John O'Brien, the popular pastor of St. Monicas Catholic church in this city, will leave next week to assume the pastorate of the church in Fernaiidina. That much was settled last week when Father O'Rrlen went to St. Augustine to see Bishop Kenny, and when the trunsfer was olllclally pro mulgated. , It will be remembered that several weeks ago Father O'Brien was asked by his bishop to take the pastorate of the church in Orlando. This was o be one of several moves which Bishop Kenny had In contemplation, '.he one dependant upon the other. U that time Father O'Brien wrote ..he bishop giving reasons why he preferred to stay in Palatka reasons which were accepted by the bishop uul acted on. It had been the ishop's purpose to appoint Father Kolny of Fernaiidina to the rector ship of the St. Augustine Cathedral, :o move Father Fox of Orlando to Pernandlna, and Father O'Brien to Orlando, all considered promotions. Now it Baenis that Father Fox, from considerations at health, de dres to remain in Orlando. Ac knowledging the cogency of these reasons, the bishop has come back to Father O'Brien with the request that he take charge of the Fernaii dina church. Father O'Brien stated to the News lhat he had no additional reasons to give the bisl.op for preferring Pa latka and that he did not feel like opposing what seemed to be the bishop's desire further. Therefore he goes to Fernaiidina. There will he wide-spread regret in Palatka over the departure of Father O'Brien. He has been pas tor of St. Monica s nearly eleven years, and aside from Ills priestly ohice, is a scholarly, affable and polished gentleman who has taken a deep interest in. all that concerns the welfare of the city and its people. The regret of Palatkans, however. will be balanced somewhat by the knowledge, that the change is a de served promotion and that in his new work Father O'Brien will have :i larger field of endeavor. -There will be the usual service at St. Monicas next Sunday, and at the 10 o'clock mass It is probable that Father O'Brien will refer to the sev erance of pastoral relation. His successor will 'be Rev. Father Barry, at present assistant priest, tit the church of the Immaculate Con ception, Jacksonville. Attractive Window Display. The large show windows in the FeariiBide Clothing Company's store have just been decorated with the, new styles in fall and winter cloth ing. Men who have traveled and are up in fashions for men's wear say the patterns on display at Fearn- side's represent the most exclusive patterns to be found In the largest cities of the country, and that the prices asked are lower. The modern suits for men made by such representative houses as the A. B. Kirschbaum Co., seem to have largely driven the customs tailor out of business. These suits are made up in the highest style of the tailors art, the trimmings are of the best material and the workmanship perfect. The Fearnside C lot h i n g Company is exclusive agent for Pa latka. Of course the cost is much less than for the same goods made to order. H The Fearnside Company has a reputation all over the south as lead ers in the selection of modish goods aud its window display this fall hows that the company has not been overrated. - New License Law. The new license law or occupation tax which lays its heavy hand on enterprise and puts additional bur dens on thrift and accumulation will go into effect on the first of October. On that day all merchants will bp required to flle'spplications for li cense to do business bnstd on the p-operty .valuation of stocks, and these applications placing values must be sworn to. Every merchant in the county it. obliged to pay a tax on his stock of goods, the same being rated as per sonal prop -rty. Now comes the ad ditional burden of a license. Don't blame the county tax collec tor. He didn't make the law but he is bound to enforce it. Woman's Club. The Woman's Fortnightly Club will hold its first meeting for the year 1903-4, Friday, October 2nd, at three o'clock p. in. in their club rooms in Crill block. The Bay View reading course on the United States and Mexico, embracing the history, literature and' art of these eoutrles, has been chosen as the sub ject for study during the year. The toplo for general discussion at the first meeting will be the discovery' and settlement of America. At the close of the meeting an informal re ception will be held, and refresh menta will be served. All ladles who are Interested in literary, musical or philantropic work are Invited to attend this meet ing. Mrs. RichabdF. Adams, President. Smashed His Automobile. Albert Jenkins, son of Dr. E. R. Jenkins of this city, had a collision with a fanner's wagon while riding in his automobile in the suburbs of Jacksonville last Wednesday eve ning. The accident resulted in throwing the occupants of both ve hicles into the. road, the loss of n wheel to the farm wagon, the over turning of the automobile and its catching fire and burning from the spilling of oil in the headlight lumps. The fanner was accompanied by his wife nnd baby, none of whom re ceived other than slight scratches. With Mr. Jenkins in his automo bile were Robert James, Raynioud Truman nnd an engineer. All were dumped into the ditch and received sprains and bruises, none of which are serious. The automobile is a complete wreck except the engine which can be utilized. Messrs. Jenkins and James arrived In Palatka on the late Atlantic Const train Wednesday night, slightly dis figured, but. To Apply for Injunction. Before the judge of the United States circuit court at Huntsville, Ala., to day, Hon. B. P. Calhoun and attorney Henry Strums will make arguments for the granting of a temporary injunction restraining the city of Palatka from enforcing the now water ordinance which goes into effect October 1st. Hon. S. J. Hilburn will appear for the city. It is the general opinion that the preliminary injuution wilf be grant ed, hut That the court will sustain the or dinance when the case comes up for final adjudication. - Tendered Her Resignation. Miss Alice Priddy for the past eight or nine years chief operator and in charge of the Palatka tele phone exchange, has tendered 'her resignation, the same to take effeet next Thursday, Octolmr 1st. It is understood that Miss Emma Parkins has been appointed to the vacancy caused by the resignation, of Miss Priddy. Fine Display of Furniture. F. A. Gerber & Sons are making an unusually fine display of furniture ,.nd mattings just now. The store, :ilwa vs a model of neatness and order in arrangement, is especially striking just now in the arrangement of new o.ids. It is astonishingly what a really fine line of goods this firm lurries. There Bre goods for all class es aud at all prices, and the easy pay ments in vogue at this store makes i he furnishing of the homes of the poorest possible. The store should be visited. Singing; Cattle to Sleep. A curious Instance of the power of music comes from the western ranches, where the cowboys have learned that they can slug cattle to sleep. At "bed ding time" a rider will ride to tbe frout of a herd, stop It, and then he will ride rapidly around and around it till the cattle are herded close together. He usually sings or whistles while be is doing this, and presently one of the herd lies down, to be followed in quick succession by the others, till In ten minutes a herd of 500uiay be all down. The cowboy now rides slowly around them, stopping occasionally If he de sires to, and whistling or 'singing, as he likes. But should the herd get up or become excited In the night be rides around rapidly and sings until they are quiet. New York Tribune. Seeing With One Bre. A great many, perhaps the majority, of otherwise well Inforaied people be lieve that they see the same with one eye as with both eyes. That this is not the case one can easily convince him self by the following simple experi ment: . Cover one of the eyes with a hand or a bandage and let the experi menter attempt to snuff out a candle suddenly placed within a few feet of him. He will almost Invariably miss the flame, either overreaching, under reaching or putting the miners too far to the right or left of the flame. With both eyes normal and open the accom modation for distance and direction Is Instantaneous Am It Was Printed. - There la one woman poet in New York who will read proof carefully un til the edge of a recent error wears off. She spent two days on a touching poem, the pivotal .line of which read: My soul la a lighthouse keeper. When the printer finished with it the line read: Myaoul la a light housekeeper. Not Encouraging. "Do yon know," remacked the pessi mist, "I think I have expenienced every kind of hard luck on the list except banging.' ' "Well, you shouldn't be discouraged," remarked the optimist. "Remember the Id adage, 'While there is life there la hope.' "Cincinnati Enquirer. A EaMABKAIlI.E liKCOBD.

For aal by Ackermaa A Bttwart, COXCJSICNINU POLITICIAN'S. In his speech at Shell Pond last week the Honorable Charles Monroe Brown, candidate for Governor on a platform which "insures comfort for the widow and protection to orphan ages," hud a good deal to say about the subsidized press in Florida, claiming there were 13 newspapers in the state entitled to classification under that head. Thirteen is cer tainly an "unlucky number. The hoodoo-conjures by It and the candi date who "bumps" it is lost. But perhaps Candidate Brown forgot to count the Billvllle Noose-Utter. In an editorial paragraph In the last number of his Florida Index Editor T. J. Appleyiud places Put nam in the list of counties sure to give a majority for Frank Clark for Congress. With no purpose of gain- sayimt Mr. Appleyard's Mipeiior facilities for arriving at a correct prognostication of the result of the coming congressional primary this county, the News can at least, say that it has been startled by the prediction. In all political contests. victory is forecast through large sized chunks of sentiment which finds frequent favorable expression for the candidate among the people. This is the rule. But Mr. Clark's case may be the exception which is to prove the rule. One thing is certain, the Clark sentiment, in sufficient quantities to warrant its application :asa precursor of victory, is wholly Wanting in Putnam county. It ain't here at all; at least it's not visible to the naked eye of those whose optics are trained to the work of anti-elec tion discovery. Mr. Clark may be all that Editor Appleyard paints hlm,but one thing is certain, his can didacy has failed to cause a flutter. ing of the political -leaves In this neck 'o the woods up to the present And now conieth Father (St. Clair) Abrahams saying: "My son Isaac St Clair Abrahams shall not be sacri- fled on the altar of the constitution for he escapes the fire of that docu ment by three whole days. In other words Isaac was too previous for your old constitution by 72 hours and y.ou can't touch him. Go in. my hoy, and vin, alretty." Now what Father St. Clair Abrams has said concerning his son Isaac, applies with equal force in the case of "his whiskers," Mr. Senator Kirk, al though the latter has but 24 hours start of the constitution. It had been stated that Alfred St. Clair Abrams and Senator B. F. Kirk were ineligible -for the officers of Attorney-General and Secretary of State, respectively, under a clause of the constitution which reads: "No Senator or member of the House of Representatives shall, dur ing the time for which he was elect ed, be apppolnted or elected to any civil office undet the constitution of this State that has been created or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during that time." Speaking to this point, Father St. Clair Abrams in the Metropolis of last Monday evening, says: 'On Saturday I wired my son, Mr. Alfred St. Clair-Abrams, not to with draw from the canvass, as I was in clined to the opinion that he was eligihle. I see that Mr. Christie has come to the same conclusions on the same grounds. There can be no doubt about it. Mr. Alfred St. Clair Abrams was elected to the Legisla ture on the 4th of November last, and under the constitution his term of ofllce is for two years. As a con sequence, liis term expires on the evening of the 4th of November, 19(14, three days before the election of that year, which takes place on the 7th "In the case of Senator Kirk, he was elected on the 0th of November, HXlO, to serve for four years, conse quently his term of oftlce expires on the evening of the 6th of November, while the election does not take place until the following day and, consequently, he also is eligiblu" The point raised by Father St. Clair Abrams is tech lical but it ap pears to be good. His son and Sena tor Kirk escape by a small margin the real purpose of that clause In the constitution which seeks to present members of the legislature from profiting by their legislative enact ments. Both these men are mem bers of the present legislature, a leg-j islature which passed a law increas ing the salaries attached to the offi ces which they now covet. They are elegiblo under the letter of the law, but not under its spirit. Will the people place these meu in office? They may : but as the News reads the average voter, he is more concerned in seeing the spirit of the constitu tion carried out than ha is in follow ing its letter. Hon. R. 1). M'Donald of HeLand is another candidate for Congres sional honors from this district. His platform of principles is published iu this issue of the News. The plat form coyers pretty nearly everything that is democratic in an orthodox fashion, and is one of the best ex pressed documents yet contributed to platform literature in this cam paign, Mr. M'Donald is handi capped by the faot that he is not generally known over the district, but this he can probably throw off in the ten months that will ensue be fore the primaries. Those who do know him speak in the highest ternw of his ability and moral worth, Hon. H. H. McCreary of the Oaiuei- ville Sun says of him: "R. I). M'Donald of Deland, who is the latest candidate for the Dem ocratic congressional nomination, is a gentleman of fine address and good appearance. He is quite an elo quent speaker and an indefatigable worker. Mr. M'Donald was a dele gate to the last Democratic National Convention and the writer's associa tion with him was of a most pleas and nature. He is engaged in the hardware business in DeLand and is highly esteemed by all who know him." A prophet is not always honored in his own country, but not so with the candidate, whose measure is taken by his nearest constituents. And in this connection it is a safe bet that Robert W.Davis will get. a larger proportion of the votes -of Putnam county than any other can didate of any other county for the same or any other office. St. Augus tine Record. If the Record had stated that Robert W. Davis would receive the solid vote of his county it would have been nearer right. If there is a man in all the length and breadth of Putnam county who does not ap prove of, nay, who is not an enthu siastic supporter of Judge Davis for the office of Governor, the News has yet to hear of him. Putnam county is not always united, but it is united o l Rob't. W. Davis for Governor. Why Foam Is "White. The question as to why all foam is white- is not an easy one to under stand, hut t-Ue fuel is that foam is al ways white, whatever may be the color of the beverage itself. The froth pro duced on u bottle of the blackest ink Is white aud would he perfectly so were it not tinged to a certain extent by particles of the liquid which the bubbles hold in mechanical suspension. As to the cause of this whiteness, it is sufficient to say that it is due to the large number of reflecting surfaces formed by the foam, for it la these sur faces which, by reflecting the ' light, produce upon our eyes the impression of white. If we remember that all bodies owe their cokirs to the rays of light, which they cannot absorb, and all bodies which reflect all the light they receive. without absorbing any, appear perfect ly white, we shall be prepared to under stand, how the multitude of reflecting surfaces formed by the foam, and which do not absorb any light,' must necessarily give tbe froth a white ap pearance. It is for the same reason that any very fine powder appears white, even the blackest marble, when ground to dust, losing every trace of its original color. The Doctor Knew Beet. A Pennsylvania farmer named Hans was subject to some kind of fits which rendered him totally unconscious for hours at a time and on several occa sions convinced his good wife that she was a widoiy. It was pretty generally known) that she was by no means averse to the widowed state, for she and the doughty Hans did not live in peace and amity. One day Hans was stricken as usual. The good wife applied the usual reme dies, but this time they failed to revive the unconscious man. A doctor was called, and after a thorough examina tion he shook his bead and said sol emnly: "Dot lss ssu bed.. Hiss iss todt (dead)." The widow pretended to be overcome with grief, and, leaning over the pros trate form of her husband, she wailed: 'Oh, mein Hans Iss todt! Meln Hans iss todt!" . ' But Hans, reviving suddenly, ex claimed: "Nein, nein! Ich ben nit todt?' "Hans," said his wife, reprovingly, 'lie still. Der doctor knows best." A Baslness Woman In Franklin's Bar An interesting instance of a woman's business ability is given In Franklin's autobiography. In 1773 he founded a printing oflice in Charleston, S. C, un der charge of one of bis Journeymen, and was to receive one-third of the profits. Franklin says: "He was a man of learning, but ignorant In mat ters of 'account, and though he eon.e- tluies made me remittances I could get no account from him nor any satisfac tory state of our partnership while he lived. On Ills decease the business was con tinued by his widow, who, being born and bred in Holland, where, aa I have been informed, the knowledge of ac counts makes a part of female educa tion, she not only sent me as clear a statement as she could find of tbe transactions past, but continued to ac count with tbe greatest resrularltT and exactness every quarter afterwft-d and managed the business with such suc cess that she not only reputably brought up a family of children, but at the expiration of tbe term was able to purchase of me the printing house and establish her son in It I mention this affair chiefly for the sake of rec ommending that branch of education for our young women as likely to be of. more use to them and their children, in -ease of widowhood, than either mnsic or dancing." ) Theao Boston F-ai-tata.
