GOV. l'l Kt'.Y’S MESSAGE.
Presented toih" |< lurid a Tiegiulstur#
on Tuesday.
TUe following arc some of the most lm
lortant features of the annual message
sent by Got. Terry to the Florida Lsgis
lature on Tuesday:
jio better evidence oould be presented
of Florida’s material progress than is
shown bv her tax rolls, however much
Those rolls lack ol exhibiting the lull
value of the taxable property of the
mate The aggregate of the tax lists for
VsS4 was $60,042,655 00; for 1886, $76,611,-
409 00 showing an increase in two years
of $16,568,754 00. or over 27 par cent.; and
that notwithstanding the discouraging
effects of the phenomenal winter of 1885-6
upon one of our most important indus-
illustration of the confidence
which universally timid capital has in
Florida’s future, and its reliance upon
her capabilities and development, is the
marvelous increase which two years
have furnished in her transportation fa
cilities Remote and almost inaccessible
points ’have been brought within easy
distance of one another, and of the mar
kets of our own State and of .he outside
" The two years last past hare witnessed
the building and equipment if more than
600 miles ol new and the renovation of as
many miles of almost worse than useless
old road, thus substantUUy adding to
first-class railroad facilihes fully 1,000
miles. In no other equal lime in the his
tory of our State has such progress been
made in the Important matter of trade
and travel laoilities so essential to. the
development ol the resources of our com
monwealth.
THE STATE PKBT.

Did the State p*sess, as 1 think every
State should alwiys reserve, the option
of calling in her mtstanding bonds, they
oould in a short line be absorbed in, and
furnish the very best investment for our
different educational funds.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
I commend to 'ou, with no little pride
and pleasure in toe advancement it ex
hibits, the repoß of the State Superin
tendent of Puillo Instruction; from it
one can see that in the matter of public
sobools Florida is fast taking rank with
some of the foremost States.
The following shows the increase in
number of soacols aud of school attend
ance in the last t wo ) ears:
Number of schools September 39, 1884 . 1.504
Number of soioola September 30, 1885.. 1,724
Number of schools September .10, 1888 . 1,919
An inoreaso in schools for 1886 over 1885 of
195. and over IBS4 of 415 schools.
The school attendance for 1884 was ... 58.311
The school atte dance for 1885 was 62,327
The school attendance for 1888 was ... 70, toy
An increase in 1886 over 1884 of 4,016 pupils,
and an increase In 18-6 over 1885 of 8.670, or
an increase for two years of 12,686 in total at
tendance.
THE STATE’S SWAMP LANDS.
Unfortunately, on Nov. 22,1885, all pro
ceedings by the General Land Depart
ment at VVasbington to segregate the
State’s lands trom the lands of tbo United
States were suspended, and since that
time no patents or indemnity certificates
have been issued to the State except,
within a few clays, one patent of eighty
acres.
Tbe wisest use that a State can make
of public lands is such a use as will most
surely and quickly subject them to hon
est settlement lor actual cultivation and
substantial improvement, aud 1 earnestly
favor such use and disposition of our
public lands so tar as compatible with
gootb faith in the satisfaction of grants
lawfully made and honestly earned, and
tbe faithful execution of the trusts
created. But care should be taken that
mere speculators be not allowed to take
advantage of tbe benefits and facilities
intended only for bona fide settlers, and
to Ibis end the statute (chapter 345) hav-"
ing In view tbe sale,of lands at a reduced
price to a settler should be so amended
as to give the State a better guaranty of
settlement and cultivation than the pur
chaser’s statement of intention.
RAILROADS.
Without doubt the greatest factors lu
Florida's progress are her railroads. It
may be well said tnat railroads are fast
becoming essential to commercial, agri
cultural, manufacturing, and every other
Industrial prosperity—indeed that they
are indispensable to the very existence ot
the civilization of the age. Any effort to
destroy, cripple or oppress these great
interests, whether influenced by preju
u ce or induced by popular clamor, would
betoken a willingness to turn back tho
wheels of progress, to saoriflee the best
interests ol the State and people, and to
trample upon every principle of right and
Ignore every dictate of justice.
It is the duly oi the State, and of every
department of whten its government is
composed, to defend and protect every
right, whether it be tbe right ol the most
powerful corporation or of the humblest
individual; the same and no greater con
sideration should be bad for the one than
the other; but on the other hand, while
tne corporation may justly demand tho
protection ot every legal right by tho

GLIDE WELL’6 tHOST.
J Unaccountable Doinji of an Un
cauny Spiritual Hesenee.
From th s DjUittnVe Ooiiltr mJournil.
Russellville, Marcj 30.—Nothing
that has occurred iu Loan county with
in the memory of the ojlest citizen has
created the excitement) and awe whioh
have been caused by fie supernatural
manilesiations in the lueksville neigh
borhood, “Glidewell’s jiios'” is the chief
topic of conversation qi the streets, in
the stores aud arofnd the family
board. Whether there is anything real
ly supernaiural about the affair your
correspondent will not venture to say. but
it is oertalnly true that ‘mere have been
mighty queer goin’s ou fit Glidewell’s,”
though by what ageucy |s a problem that
is amtating all the couns\v round about.
A theory is being advanced to the cft'iet
that it is the restless spifjtof eld Solomon
Rankin, a deceased elder of the
society of the Shakers. who
promised Glidewell, a short while
betore Dls death, that, if It were possible
tor spirits to return to earth, he would
visit bun in his spirit form, aud It is now
thought by some that the departed Solo
mon is; keeping his pledge. Glidewell’s
house is but a few miles from the Shaker
village, and it is reported that the in
habitants are so tilled with terror that
Elder Harvey Eads and the other higu
caste Shakers have all they can do to dis
suade them lrom deserting the village.
When Mr. Glidewell moved from his
late residence tbe ghost, also changed its
base ol operations and followed tne un
fortunate family to their new dwelling,
rather increasing than abating Us bewil
dering performances. At tie dead hours
of nigbt tbe sleeping household will Pe
thrown into the wildest terror and con
tusion by a burst of demonical laughter,
and immediately one of the lamlly will be
drenched with a shower of a foul
smelllug, ice-cold water. The vessels in
which the milk had been left at night
would be found the next morning filled
with the repulsive fluid, and on oue occa
sion it was found that the oil had been
removed lrom a brass hand-lamp aud
some of this water put in Its stead. Doors
whioh had been left securely fastened are
found open, and tbe moving of chairs and
other articles from one side ot the room
to the other, even in broad daylight, is of
frequent occurrence.
But the strangest and most thrilling
demonstration whicu has yet tagen place
occurred' Sunday night. Mr, Glidewell
and his family had retired early, as is
their custom, aud as that gentleman de
scribes it, “he bad tallen into his first
nap.” when suddenly he awoke. He had
heard no sound, but was thoroughly
awake in a moment and felt conscious of
a strange aud unnatural preseuoe. He
lay perfectly still, and directly a
pale, bluish light, which appeared
to radiate from a centre outside
of the east window, slowly permeated
the darkness of the room. Rising cau
tiously he crept toward the wiudow aud
saw, about ten steps from tbe house, a
ball of pale blue flame, apparently about
three Indies iu diameter, which appeared
to be suspended in the air a few feet from
the ground. Just as he reached the win
dow this began to wave to and iro. and at
the same time he couid hear faintly the
sound of weird flute-like music, played in
slow and solemn measure, to which the
moving flame graoelully kept time.
Greatly mystified, but not at
all frightened. he picked up
his gun and opened the door. Im
mediately the air around him was filled
with a strange subtle perfume so power
ful that he was almost suffocated aud at
tempted to close tbe door, but before be
oould do so tell insensible aoross the
threshold. When he regained conscious
ness day was just beginning to break.
Upon his forehead had been placed a wet
handkerchief of a blood-red color and
of the finest fabric, aud in one corner
of which, deiioately worked in
black silk, was the initial “U.”
He was stiff with cold, and when
be attempted to rise was so weak that
it was with much difficulty that he could
do so. Nothing in the room had been dis
turbed, but his gun was not to be found.
Since then the handkerchief has been ex
hibited to hundreds who flocked to see it,
and of the many who have examined it
no one has ever "seen one like it. A. Lo
bred, a merchant in Auburn, claimed to
have sold it, but when this was fully in
vestigated it turned out that be had cir
culated this report merely as an adver
tising scheme, and that there wag no
no truth whatever in it.
The state of Mr. Glidewell’s mind, as
may be imagined, is deplorable in tbe ex
treme. Until his strange experience of
Sunday night, he had borne up bravely
under bis troubles, but now he has utter
ly given up, his nervous system is shat
tered, and it is feared that total derange
ment of the mind will speedily follow, if
he oould dispose of his property he would
move out ol the State, but he can find no
one who will take the place at any price,
and as he is a man of limited means and
a large family, he is perforce compelled
to stay where he is.
The Sheriff, accompanied by one of tbo
most prominent gentlemen of tbe county,
started to-day to visit the ghoul-disturbed
community, with the avowed purpose of
solving the mystery before their return.
11 they fail it will only be auother failure
added to the number of efforts equally as
determined as theirs which have resulted
fruitlessly.
THE PRESIDENT AS A BOX Kit.
No Mean Exponent of the Manly Art
ot Self-Defense.
From the F&U) York World.
Washington, March 31.—“ The pub
lished aooounts of tbe state of President
Cleveland’s health at the present time re
call his method of exercising and the way
In which he increased bis muscular
strength not many years ago,” said an
old Buffalo friend of the President to a
corresponded to-day. “Wneu Mr. Cleve
land lived in Buffalo he was more care
ful of his health than he has been since.
It was his custom to he In the open air a
portion of every dav. He would either
drive or take a walk. Naturally ot a
phlegmatic temperament, this form ol
exercise was luund insufficient, and after
ineffectual trials to reduce bis flesh and to
place himself In thorough physical condi
tion It was suggested tbat he should take
boxing lessons. At first he did not like
the idea, but his friends persuaded him
to make a trial oi tbe gloves aud finally
he consented. For two years he kept up
his sparring exerolses. and, under the in
struction of a competent teacher, he be
eumeoue of the best boxers in the Stale.
It is a long time since Mr. Cleveland has
worn the buckskins, but 1 tell you one
thing, 1 would not like to stand up
against him even now, and I am consid
ered a fair boxer myself. If the Presi
dent did not consider it undignified and
would only take the time lor it aud again
resume his boxing lessons be would find
his public duties lightened and his health
Improved.
“lam afraid he would not consider this
kind of manual exercise befitting tbe
ruler ot the nation, yet 1 can see no ob
jection to it. His health should be bis
first consideration, and he is certainly in
nuetl ol recreation. Perhaps a public
agitation of tbe subject will induce him
to put on the gloves again. 1 believe If
ciallivun would come here vud have a
talk with tbe President he oould persuade
him to put on the gloves with him. Mr.
Cisvelsnd Is a lover of the manly art aud
always takes a deep Interest in sport of
this kind.”

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 7. 1887.
FAIR MOUNTAINS OF FLESH.
A 700-I’ouml Venus—A Colossal
Chocolate-Colored Beauty.
‘‘There is something funny about a fat
woman, in tbe first plaoe, she Is the only
one of her generation in a family with
that affection, and in the second she is
uniformly good uatured and kind. 1 have
never yet seen one in the business who
was bad tempered,” said a close observer
to a Detroit Tribune reporter. Sometimes
1 persuade myself that flesh is the ground
work of affability. The fleshiest woman
in America to-day is the kiudest-hearted
being in the world. These curiosities are
the best standard attractions in museums
and circuses. They can earn more money
and are more popular with visitors. Be
sides this, they are the natron spirits of
the curiosity hails, and look after tbe
welfare and comfort of those about them.
Another funny thing abfiut. these women
is their love tor dwarfs. They take to
them like a fly does to sugar.
“They would all he good people to have
in this State about this time, for tbeir in
temperance excesses amount simply to
sarsaparilla pop drinking. Namiab, a
German, whose home was originally In
Kansas City, drinks beer. She is the only
fat womunon exhibition to-day wbotastes
ardent spirits of any sort. There is a
reason for all this. Flesh and alcohol are
antagonistic.A fleshy person is possessed
of more blood, it is of a warmer tem
perature, and liquor heats blood. Just
stop and think how many fat drunkards
you ever saw. If a person is given to
flesh he will not, make liquor his com
panion to the extent of the gutter and
police station. But these big people have
an abnormal appetite for liquid nourish
ment. They drink sarsaparilla pop by
the i ottle, and NamiaU disposes of beer
by cases.
“Another characteristic of fleshy
women }is their preference for men of
slender build. Hannah Battersby, the
best known of fat women, married a tall,
emueiated fellow who weighed 74 pounds
at the time the knot was tied. This was
some years ago. and ever since then the
husband has been growing in weight.
He now weighs 158 pounds. Mrs. Bat
tershy’e husband was known as a‘skele
ton’ at the tjme of bis marriage, and
as be and his wife were with
Barnum at that time a good deal
of oapital was made of the matter. Peo
ple got the idea that fat women always
married skeletons. This is not the case,
and so far as 1 know Mrs. Battersby is
the only lady who ever did so. But her
contemporaries, nevertheless, have a
weakness for men of slight pbisique.
Winnie Johnson, tbe highest salaried tai
woman on the stage, has tor a life part
ner a little man whom she wedded twenty
years ago. They have four children. At
thetim -of Mrs. Jounson’s marriage she
weighed 500 pounds. Now she tips the
beam at 700 pounds.
“Amerioa produces more professional
fat ladies than all other countries com
bined. Germany ranks second. In Af
rica there are a great many women who
might earn good salaries in museums, but
It wouldn’t pay to import them. The
womeu or the Europeau continent are
more inclined to flesh, as a class, than
those upou this side of the Atlautic, but
they seldom develop such an amount of
superfluous tissue.
“Hannah Battersby is the most cor
pulent woman in Amerioa. She is 44
years old and weighs 728 pounds. Mrs.
Battersby commands a salary ol SIOO per
week, and continues to increase in
weight. Two weeks ago she became
bllnd, the flesh about her eyes shut ting
out the light of the outside world. A
peouliarltv of Mrs. Battersby is her abil
ity to climb stairs. Although unable to
walk a dozen feet without support, she
can climb any stairway by simply grasp
ing tbe bannister rail. Mrs. Battersby is
well educated. She has been fifteen years
before the public.
“Her greatest rival is Mrs. Johnson, a
colored woman from Indianapolis, who is
getting $250 at a Chicago museum. This
is the highest salary paid any woman in
this line ot curios. Mrs. Johnson is 42
years old. At 18 her weight was 259
pouuds. Ada Briggs, 19 years old, 485
pounds, is live ieet four inches in height.
She has a magnificent figure and is ranked
the baudsomest woman iu the profession.
“There are two instances where two
children in one family wore given to re
markable obesity. The Hill children, both
girls, and twins, are 16 years old aud
weigh 198 and 228 pounds. Peter and
Nellie Brahim are respectively 25 and 21
years old and their combined weight is
800 pounds. Every woman on exhibition
has a weakness for confectionery and
cake. Hannah Battersby can eat a pound
of confections a day without flinohing.
She and Mrs. Johnson are transported
from town to town in baggage cars. Fifty
years is the limit of life with people of
this class.”
“Are fat men good curiosities?”
“No, fat men have all played out. Peo
ple do not care to see a great, dropsical,
seething man, sitting calmly on a stage
all day lopg, doing nothing but breathe,
and not doing to at u:iy well. The reason
these curiosities coAiuue to gain flesh is
because/'t hey take no exercise. They all
die ot heart disease or choke to death.”
NO PASSES, NO PUFFS.
All on Account of the Interstate
Commerce Bill.
The interstate commerce bill, writes
Eugene Field in the Chicago News, com
pels us to adopt a schedule of railroad
advertising rates, which we beg to an
nounce as follows:
1. For the setting forth of virluos (ac
tual or alleged) of presidents, general
managers or directors, $2 per line lor the
first insertion, and $1 for each subsequent
insertion.
2. For puffs expressed in choice Eng
lish, with occasional French phrases or
poetical extracts (the whole with a pal
pable motive ol bouest enthusiasm), $2 50
per line; 50 per cent, reduction on eaou
subsequent lusertion.
3. General passenger agents and
division superintendents will be accorded
ball rates on the terms off-red In rule No.
1. But In all cases where the tills ot
colonel is used regular first-class rates
will be demanded.
4. Thousand mile tickets on the basis
of 20. per mile will be received in ex
exchange for advertising done at our card
rates, but these tickets must bold good on
nntsenger as well as on freight trains.
5. No deviation from the oard rates can
be made in lavorof parties handing us
sc. cigars with tbs puffs they desire pub
lished.
6. For complimentary notices of tbe
wives and children of railroad officials,
we demand $1 50 ner line. We have on
hand, ready tor immediate use, a splen
did assortment ot this literature.
7. Poetry will be made to order at $3
per Inch, agate measure. We are pre
pared to supply a lino line of heptameter
puds, also a limited number of sonnets
and triolets, in exchange for 1.000-mile
tickets. Epic poems, containing descrip
tions ot scenery, dining oars, etc., will be

accompany their requests with $lO bills—
