In Honor of Mrs. Breckinridge, Who is
Traveling With Her Husband-The
St. Louis Crowd.
■- «
Memphis, Dec. 31.—W. C. P. Breck
inridge, who is booked to lecture in
Memphis this week, has aroused social
and club circles to an extraordinary de
gree. Sunday, two local chapters of
the Daughters of the Revolution pro
mulgated the following:
To the Daughters of the Revolution in
nnessee:
the name of the late Mrs. Isaiah De
el ... Breckinridge, charter member of our
80. ry, and a greatly wronged woman,we
appeal to you to discountenance in any de
gree or form any courtesy or attention ex
tended to W. C. P. Breckinridge, her hus
band. thereby upholding the dignity, hon
or and purity of our society in American
womadhood.
(Signed)
Mildieo Spottswood Mathes, Regent.
Notwithstanding this a leading soci
ety lady has issued 50 invitations to a
reception to be extended Mrs. Breckin
ridge, who accompanies her husband.
Breckinridge Does Not Draw.
St. Louis, Dec. 31. —Congressman W.
C. P. Breckinridge lectured Sunday
night at the Olympic theater on ‘ ‘Eras
of American Development” to an audi
ence of 150 people, including two la
dies, one of the atter being his wife.
The door did not pay for the hall.
There is a rumor that his future dates
will be cancelled.
AN INNOCENT CLAUSE.
Hnt It Knocks Senators from New States
Out of a Good Sum.
Washington, Dec. 31.—An apparent
ly innocent clause in the last legislative
appropriation bill set aside a custom of
half a century and provided that salar
ies of senators elected or appointed to
fill vacancies in the senate, or of sena
tors elected for the full term subsequent
to the commencement of such term,
shall commence on the date of their
election or appointment.
It will be noticed that this limitation
does not apply in case of members of
the house of representatives who may
be elected or appointed under exactly
the same conditions.
But for this modification of law sen
ators to be elected from the states of
Washington, Montana and Wydming
would have received back salaries from
the beginning of their terms amounting
to a bonus for each of SIO,OOO.
UKANUEb“ SUFFERE□.
The Florula Crop Damaged Two-Thirds.
They Will Be High.
Jacksonville, Dec. 31. The cold
wave has undoubtedly caused a loss of
fully $3,000,000 to the fruit and vegeta
ble growers of Florida. There were at
least 2,600,000 boxes of oranges on the
trees, about 2,400,000 boxes having al
ready been marketed. Estimates of the
damage by the cold made by conserva
tive officials of the Florida Fruit ex
change and the Orange and Vegetable
Growers’ union place a total loss upon
1,500,000 boxes, and a partial loss upon
500,000. This leaves about 1,000,000
uninjured, and they ought to bring
prices ranging all the way from $5 to
$7 per box, for the supply will be un
precedentedly limited.
Under ordinary conditions the grow
ers are satisfied with $1 per box net, so
the loss on the frozen fruit is placed at
that figure. Young orange groves from
1 to 4 years old are undoubtedly ruined
dll over the state, and many other trees
scattered throughout bearing groves are
probably killed. The winter crops of
tomatoes, egg plants, cabbages, lettuce,
turnips, etc., are killed outright, and
the strawberry vines and pineapple
plants must be seriously damaged,

A Veteran Editor Writes a Letter to His
Friend.
T e following letter received by Mr
Qeorgo M. Rattey from Mr. David W.
S one, the veteran editor, will bn appre
ciated by those who know something of
his career.
During the war Mr. Stone, through the
New York Journal of Commerce, his
great paper, was a strong advocate of
moderation in politics, and on one oc
casion, during a great excitement be
made a speech on the same line. A tnoh
se z>d him, put a rope around hia neck
to hang h'm, bur. he w<R rescued by
friends. He remained wi’h his paper
U’i’il July, 1893 when he su'd out his
interna’’ f or $612,000, hia prrmer, M ,
W.C. Prune, retiiiug with him The,
latter is a son of the late Dr. Iretnus
Prime, who was also associated with Mr. I
Stone for years. Mr. S'one was long ;
the president of the American Pn ss As |
sociation and is the greatest statistician'
and one of t' e braifiiest men living, and |
his friends hope that he may celebrate
many more birthdays.
During the war congress passed a cur
rency law which Mr. Stone predicted
could but bring disappointment, and
sure enough it was repea’ed in fifte<n
days.
Here is the letter referred to above:
Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. 27th, 1894.
My Dear Mr. Battey: I send you mer

greeting.
lam writing a vile of letters every
day but. nothing for publicition. There
am s<* many of my former readers who
wish to hear from me that my pen is
kept, busy acknowledging their r< quests.
I am very well and on the 23id passed
my 77th birthday. Ido not own a pair
of magnifying glasses and c ifi thread the

I do not know if I shall ever take up ed

I worked from 12 to 15 hours every sec

seems as if I was entitled now to a sea
son of rest.
I do not believe that I shall go south
this winter. I have a very comfortable
home, and am more than ever attached
to it. I feel grateful for your affection,
and remain
