The Titasville Slur is in the field with
an immigration fund which it starts
with its own subscription of five dollar.
Rev. P. PT Mell, Chancellor of the
University of Gflorgia and formerly
President of the Southern BaptUt A
eociation, dieii yesterday.
This U the worst winter New England
has known for thirty-Hvo years. Florida
has put up no fences to keep the New Eng
landers out, not erea tha editor of the
Boston Glolie.
Considering what a cold winter this is
up North and how high the price of coal
has been the world will look leniently on
the population of Bainbrnl-je, O., which
has not had a single carload of coal billed
to it alt winter because it was found,
cheaper to tuke the coal without the
usual formalities. Folks ruust have
money for other necessaries. Man" can
not live by coal alone.
The formation of a committee of the
Hoard of Trade to look aftvr stranjers
arriving in Pitl.ii.ka who wish to learn
something of our city and its vicinity is
a wise move. The tir.it impression is
often the most Listing one. If a person
arrives here, a stranger, after several
days absence from his own peojile, and
receives no welcome, finds no one to take
even a passing interest in him the feeling
of destitution and homesickness which
strikes him would obscure to him all the
glories of our evergreen State. This
would be a very marked effect on those
unused to travel. It is to be hoped that
this committee will be active and always
ready. Its mission is an important one.
arasia, heavenly kahv
Among all the arts that have done so
ranch to convert man from the savage
dweller in the woods and caves to the
enlightened citizen of the world aa we
see him in the Nineteenth Century, mil-
sic lias been tha most ioteiit. It is the
first to engage the rude savage's atten
tion, it is the earliest to claim the notice
of the babe in civilized landd. Philoso
phers can descant upon the sources of
that pleasure we derive from painting,
sculpture and architecture, but what it
is that so enraptures the soul and leads
the senses captive in harmony remains a
mystery in spite of all theorizing. The
interpreter of the emotions, as the other
arts are chiefly jl the intellect, it is
beyond the reach of analysis in its pri
mary relations to tho human mind.
The first of the arts in history it is the
latest in development. The great mod
ern masters of painting, sculpture and
architecture had lived and died, leaving
only generations of pupils and imitators
to succeed them when the masters of
harmony arose. Melody attracts the at
tention and pleases the ear of the rudest
but harmony taxes the attention ft all
who have not given study to the science
of combining tones or are not born with
a phenomenal capacity for recognizing
its beauties. The study of music, of pure
music, amply rewards the student in the
added value it gives to living and the in
creased capacity to enjoyment. He or
he wtjo has been content with what is
called "popular" music has hardly per
ceived the great domain of harmony
which yields such important results to
those who labor to enter therein.
lalatka will have an opportunity to
enjoy an evening of interpretation of
these grand masters of harmony to-night
through the agency of artists who have
devoted themselves to studying the com
positions which they have given to the
world. We are glad to be able to say
that nearly all the seats for this concert
were taken long ago. It is -one feature
about concerts that the seats farthest
from the stage are most desirable and
thus every seat U available for enjoy
ment. The music written for the string
and wood instruments can not be ade
quately interpreted with tho piano.
There is plenty of music of lighter char
acter on the programme, which we print
elsewhere, and nothing so abstruse aa to
be entirely beyond the comprehension of
those who have not given severe study to
harmony.
GEE WHIZ!
Poor Florida, lifce the youngest and
most handsome among a family of girls,
must pay the penalty of her superior at
tractiveness in detraction. This Cinder
ella among the States has been maligned
in every way, but the most absurd thing
that has yet been said is thus mentioned
in a letter received by a merchant of this
city from a friend who recently left here
for the North. The letter, which is
dated Boston, January 31, says:
Reached home Sunday night, at 8 p.
m., to rind the thermometer 8J telow
zero and Boston Harbor entirely frozen
over. The Boston Globe of yester
terday reported the tla rniometer at
Jacksonville at 2" below zero on Sundav
night. Have lookeil the capers all ova
to-day, but lind nothing said about ex
treme cold in Florida, ami sincerely hope
the report is not true.
This is absurd enough to take away
one's breach. A temperature of two de
grees below in Jacksonville would be
more phenomenal than one of eighty de
grees below in Boston. When once in
llfty years the thermometer drops to the
neighborhood of twenty degrees above,
Fahrenheit, tha fruit and vegetable crops
are ruined for that year. With the odor
of sweet violets and rosea stealing
through the balmy air, the oranges pre
puring to bloom, the peaches and loijuuts
on the trees already almost aa large as
one's thumb it strikes the mind as the
height of the absurd to hear that a Bos
ton paper announces that we have just
suffered a temperature of less than zero
in this State. If the editor of the Globe
will come to Florida he may have the
privilege of gathering a fresh and juicy
orange from the tree or of eating a dish
of strawberries from the beds now
blushing with the -glorious fruit."
. grown in the open air.
Oat of charity we will suppose that
Jacksonville, Florida, is a misprint for
Jacksonville, Illinois, a city which baa
experienced a temperature far colder
than two degrees below zero several
times this winter. In Florida this has
been a mild winter and even the banana
is waving its long green leaves in the air
to-day, above the wreck of last year's
foliage. The roses in our gardens have
never ceased to bloom in the last twelve
months. It is hard to believe, that the
managers of the BosSSct Globe, even sup
posing that they were speculating in Cal
ifornia property, would ever wfltingly
give out such an absurd btatement as
that the thermometer bad fallen two de
grees below zero in a State where tender
ro-ies Lave beea blooming the year
round in the open gardens.
The paper is not at hand containing
thit remarkable statement but it is not
likely that the writer of that letter made
a mistake. The statement is one so
startling tluit he was ture to read it over
with great attention. Wiien icebergs
get tangled up with the Equator and the
inhabitants on the Amazons learn to
use skates and io yachts on that noble
system of rivers, when Polar bears dive
for fish in the waters that wuh the
shores of Cuba and the walrus disputes
its prey with the alligator we may ex
pect to see a tempt rature of two degrees
below zero in r lorida.
ABOUT WISE '
The Citrotjraph, a very handsome and
fair minded journal published in Red-
lands, CaL, gives this advice to Florida
viniculturists:
If the Florida viijneron will eo slow
and make himself certain of the state of
the market as he goes atonic, the wine
c.od will undoultedly grow fo large pro
portions, iiut we would like to see tne
Florula putters that have the eood of
their section at heart auvise the wine-
makers not to put all their eggs into one
basket. We doubt very much that the
world will ever have an over supply of
prre wines, but the American palate will
need a deal of educating before perfectly
pure, sound wine will be preferred to the
carefully mixed decoctions ot the New
.r.. t 7 i- . i : .
o. s wuwiunkt'r, wiiuwduib viuejunin
a four-story brick building. The Ameri
can people, us a mass, are not hungering
lor a pure, sound grape wine.
What the Citrograph says is true in a
large measure but our successful wine
makers in Florida have had no trouble
in disposing of their products at excel
lent figures. Most American wine con
sumers buy wine for the name orj the
label not for the merits of the contents
of the bottle. California and Florida
have a missionary field to cultivate.
When Americans learn not to be
ashamed to buy wine because it is cheap
or lias an American label the health of
thousands of the citizens of this country
will be improved. American wine which
has been transported to France in the
wood, bottled there and returned to this
country with a French name on the
label can always command a price
w hich, without the lie upon it, it could
never reach.
Probably if American winemakers
would combine into a "trust" and put a
high ric6 on the products of their vine
yards there would be more demand for
American wines.
COMO TO INCORPORATE.
Mcating sn th; Subject st RMdt-Stipt Takts
Toward Incorporation.
Lorrtnntititr tit tin Pnlatka Xrw.
Co mo, January 33.
Two weeks agr, through The Palatk a
Nkvvs, attention was called to the con
dition of our roa Js, and it was suggested
by your correspondent that a citizens'
meeting should be held at Dusenberry &
Ellis' store on January 24, to consider
the matter and decide upon some
method of improvement.
In response to the call there gathered
last (Tuesday) night at the appointed
place nttirly every able bodied citizen of
Coma Almost every household within
the radius of a mile was represented.
Mr. J. A. Manchester was chosen chair
man and Mr. W. JS. Palmer secretary.
Some figures, were then laid before the
meeting to give a rough idea of the cost
of such sawdust for cart root Is and lum
ber for sidewalks as would be necessary.
That amount bein'g larger than any we
have ever yet raised by voluntary sub
scription and as the difficulties and
almost unavoidable unfairness of that
means were fresh in the minds of all, a
suggestion was made by Mr. C. T. Pot
ttr that the matter of. incorporation be
considered. Mr. II. J. Grim then em
bodied the suggestion in a moAon to
the effect that "this meeting is of the
opinion that it is desirable that a legal
corporation should be formed under the
name of 'Comn.'"
After some favorable discussion in
wluch'Mr. M. E. Carter, Mr. C. T. Potts,
Mr. D. E. Dusenberry, Mr. II. J. Grim
and Mr. C. (!. Ellis took part, the motion
was put and carried unanimously.
A committee of five was then ap
pointed to report upon the question as to
what shall be tiie limits of said borough.
This committee consists of the following:
M. E. Carter, C. T. Potter, W. E.
Palmer, Cliarles G. Eillis and G. E.
Miller.
A committee of two consisting of J.
A. Manchester and D. E. Dusenberry
were appointed to obtain the necessary
legal advice from some qualified at
torney. The meeting then adjourned subject
to the call of the committee on
boundaries. Tito.

Daytosa, January 2ft.
Judge J. N. Buckner and S. J. Fox. of
St. Augustine and Daytona Railroad
fame, were in town yesterday trying to
secure a riicht of way for their road
along Daytorta's river front. The in
ducements offered was an eicelVnt sea
wall to be erected thr full length of
Beach street. As might Le supposed,
there are many dissenters to this liberal
proposition. It is one of the very few
opportunities offered, and if not gen
erally accepted it will be some time ere
our citizens receive another such propo
sition. A prominent citizen j-aid recently,
in speaking of holidays and getting apart
Cleveland's birthday for a day of rest,
that the next personage whose birth
would be celebrated on tha East Coast,
was that of Hon. Charles Dougherty,
for the reason that Mr. Dougherty was
making a strong tit ort to secure the ap
propriation of a half million to build
Daytona a sea wall. Perhaps this ac
counts for the property owners refusals
to the proposed railroad.
Among visitors from Joliet, IIL, an
Mr. and Mrs. Judge Goodspeed, ICrs. E,
I Stevens and son, Charles Goodspeed
and H. J. Sawyer, most of whom are
stopping at the Hotel Sanitarium. It
may be worthy of mention that the Jol
iet contingent here numbers thirty-four.
while that of Ohio reaches one hundred
and fifty, with the prospect of ho If that
number of visitors from the same State
before the season closes.
Martin Griffin of your city, was in town
yesterday.
As real estate selling this year is quiet
in this vicinity, boat selling has becomd
popular. The latest deal being made be
tween William Jackson and Tony Ca
nova. The object being tiie Coquette.
The Loriliards have returned to St.
Augustine and are now stopping at the
Ponce de Leon.
Mrs. Edward Boyd,' of Cincinnati,
reached here yesterday. She is a regular
visitor to the coast. . Her hotel is the

RAISING SUGAR CANL
A Taa iters Tract-Csst aal Prsiltt Is Tan Yaars
Kiaaimmee Lnauer.
Through a typographical error the
Jacksonville Metropolis credits our
planters with a profit of 4-jO per ton for
cane, instead of $4.50. Ordinarily we
should not correct so apparent an error,
but in this case we have been asked if
a ton of cane is worth $450 what must
be the cost of production. Instead of
answering the inquiry by letter we have
thought that others might uesire infor
mation on this subject and so have in
terviewed a large nuiulier of planters
who nave bad experience in raisinif
cane, and give herewith the result of
our inquiries. As might be expected
the replies of the planters liave varied
considerably, but we nave taken an aver
age on all point except as to the yield
of cane per acre and length of time it
will rattoon. As regards tbe yield the
replies ranged from thirty to sixty tons
per acre. We have taken tne lo vest
yield, preferring to tell half the truth
rather than run the risk of over-stating
it. The majority of planters we talked
with avreed that cane would not need
replanting under twelve or fifteen vears,
some even asserted that with good cul
tivation it would never run out. In our
table we have thought best to allow for
a replanting after six years, so as to be
on the safe side. We have selected aver
age reclaimed land which requires neithc
clearing nor fertilizer, and present here-
witn the figures to prove that sugar
cane pays better than any crop raised

In the above table every item of ex

investment and tne cost or fencing.
These two items are so well known the
world over that we have pur-oseiy
omitted them as having no bearing as
tar as information is concerned, r enc-
ing can be built here as cheaply as anv
where. The price given for cane is the
rate with sugar at four to hve cents a
pound. As the price of sugar increases
the pvice or cane incretsws correspond
ingly. The question mar verv oertinantlv be
asked '"If raising sugar is such a sure

the planters of this section have not
engaged more extensively in its produc

no market for it. It is the erection of a
large suar mill at St. Cloud which b
caused our planters to turn their atten
tion to its cultivation. With their pres
ent capacity the sugar mill can handle
tne product of 1,500 acres of cane, but
with slight cost for additional machin
ery they can ahoat double their ca
pacity. There need be no fear but there
will be a market for all the cane that
can be produced. When the capacity of
the present mill is sunt. lied others will
be erected; and we expect to live to see
the day when at least a dozen sugar
mills wm aot tbe fertile Kissimmee val
ley from this place to Fort Bassinger.
A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

"J. C Chester and wife. Miss.," was
on the register of the LaGrange Hotel
Saturday.
There is some remarkable things con
nected with this couple that will, per
haps interest some of our readers. Mr.
Chester has only been married a week or
two, and is now combining business
with pleasure. He is on a bridal tour to
Washington, where he goes to patent the
most wonderful invention Jof the age.
Mr. and Mrs. Chet.ter are deaf and dumb
yet they can talk.
He has invented an instrument by the
use of which he is enabled to speakThis
may sound strange to some people, and
more especially to those who have not
seen and heard him. Yet it is a fact. He
has also an improved ear trumpet, which
goes with the other instrument. This
appartus is constructed something on the
order of the telephone, being worked by
electricity. The electricity is so arranges!
that it does not reach tiie ear, being con
fined to a little rneti.1 arrangement that
is worn on the coat, resemblinga balpe.
The instrument by which he is enabled
to speak is his pet" invention, and he
guard it closely, hence we are unable to
describe it more than it is a small piece
of steel filled with holes and ridges.
The voice of a person using this in
strument is not as soft and mellow as the
voice of a girl of "sweet sixteen." but
resembles more the "silvery voice" that
arises from the back fence when the
earth is bathed in the soft rays of the
moon, and causes you to swear and then
exercise your muscle by ejecting the
bootjack and all the old shoes and other
rubbish you can find front the room.
But what cares a man who has l-en
deprived of tbe power of speech,
whether he can. by the use of this in
strument, express his thoughts in soft
and mellow tones, or in the tone of the
Tom cat, he can rpeak and others can
understand him. In inventing this
thing, Mr. Chester has done something
for which be will receive the blessing)- of
thousands of unfortunates all over the
land, and will stand as an everlasting
monument to him, and cast a ray of sun
shine over tbe lives of many that has
been dark for years.
He has already been offered fabulous
sums for his invention, but to these he
has turned a deaf ear. The couple left
on tbe op train Sunday morning on their
way to Washington. We wish him and
his bride a pleasant and profitable jour
ney. A Habit Hard to Core.
