FLORIDA'S METROPOLIS.
The Savannah Drummer Compromises
With the Swedish Mother.
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 24.—The suit
threatened yesterday, involving a young Sa
vannah drummer and a young woman of
this city, was compromised this morning.
When the parties appeared in court it was
ascertained that the acquaintance fiffst be
gan at Kissimmee, Fla., and that the child
was born in Boston. When the news
was broke to the poor girl that the court
had no jurisdiction in the matter, she
fainted in the arms of one of the defend
ant's counsel, making a very dramatic sen
sation. When she revived she went into
hysterics and for several minutes the court
room resounded with her sobs and
cries. Finally a private conference
•was held between the parties
and a reconciliation was effected.
The young man agreed to pay her $lO per
month until the child was 15 years old. As
the law would only allow her SSO per year,
she seemed satisfied, when she ascertained
tliat the young man could not be forced to
marry her.
AN ADMIRALTY CASE.

ing of the United States Court read a decree

wick, $800; the Gladiator, of Fernandina,
$400; the Harold, of Fernandina, S2OO, and

Marcus J. De Medicis and Ford J. Per
kins Held for Trial.
Green Cove Springs, Fla., Dec. 34.
Before the County Judge of Clay county
Thursday Marcus J. de Medicis was given a
preliminary bearing upon a charge of steal
ing tickets of the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West railroad. De Medicis was ar
rested in company with Ford J. Perkins at
Atlanta, and some of the missing tickets
were found in their possession. The evi
dence against De Medicis was slight, but
was deemed sufficient to warrant him leing
held for trial at the next Circuit Court.
Owing to tho absence of witnesses the
examination of Perkins was deferred. Both
were, therefore, remanded back to jail.
On Oct. 17, while endeavoring to make

that the engine will be in workiug order by

A FEW NOTES.
For Christmas and Other Daps.
New York, Dec. 24.—A year ago on
Christmas day. riding from the bridge
station of the Third avenue elevated road
to Harlem, I counted the Christmas trees
standing in the third and fourth story win
dows of the tenement houses, the lodging
houses, the flats over stores, the flat build
ings and the big apartment houses as the
train rattled through the Bowery and on
up town. Four hundred and eightv-four of
them visible from the west side of the cars.
It is sorry work trying to keep festival
about coal stoves or gas stoves or furnace
registers or steam radiators, with thoughts
running buck to tho price of coal yesterday
and the price of work or the price of stocks
to-morrow, but New York celebrates as best
it can.
For the Christmas dinner, set the prettiest
of your white glass upon the table. For
tunes are going into decorated chinas and
porcelain, and at the larger New York
houses the plain ware is hardly kept in sets
at all. In glas3, however, there is a reac
tion. Colored gla-’s except in the cases
where it honestly deserves the title “art
glass.” is for tho present at a discount, and
people of the most fastidious taste are prid
ing themselves again as they did years ago
on tlie purity and the delicacy of their fine
uncolored cut glass. China needs color to
relieve the hard, cold polished surface, but
cut glass is sufficiently ornamental in it
self.
For a ladies’ lunch, not meant to be too
formal, this makes a pretty menu: Bouillon
served in cups ns soon as the guests are seat
ed, pates of any description or croquettes,
of chicken, probably; these to be followed
by a pretty salad, after that, to come coffee
and tea, with faucy breads; ice creams in
novel shapes and mouldings with delicate
cakes to end, or to be sandwiched in as a
piquant appetizer between; fruit, if de
sired; a chrysanthemum to lie by each
plate, aud table decorations of colored can
dles standing in flowers and with flower
shades.
Here is a bunch of pretty gowns for
Christmas festivities and New Year’s wear.
A prominent importer has shown this week
a tea gown of pure wite surah silk incrust
ed about the corsage with pearls. Tho stand
ing collar is embroidered with pearls and
the floating drapery is confined at tho waist
by a girdle of pearls. A great panel of seed
pearls extends from the corsage to the hem
of the skirt.
A dinner dress is of black velvet un
trimmed. The bodice is high and the long
sleeves are slashed at the elbows and
shoulders and filled in with puffs of black
tulle.
An evening wrap is of dark cloth, loug,
voluminous and lined with goat fur, the
costliest material known to fashion.
A street dress is of silver gray, headed
with gold and silver. It has a long, plain
skirt and leg o’ mutton sleeves. The waist
is confined by a girdle of silver and a round
capo of the same material is worn with it,
braided also in silver and gold.
An evening dress is of a deep wine-col
ored velvet, with court train aud long full
sleeves, collar and cuffs of rich laces. An
other evening gown is of white satin em
broidered with spangles and worn with a
pale green velvet court train. E. P. H.

Paul T. Bowen, a Clerk la Washing
ton, May be the Man.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
There has been some discussion in labor
circles as to who would succeed Mr. Pow
derly. In reply to a query, Mr. McGaughey
said: “General Worthy Foreman Richard
Griffiths would, by succession in office, suc
ceed Mr. Powderly. But I don’t think he
would serve any longer than obliged to, for
the reason that ho is getting rather aged.
The result would be that tho General Ex
ecutive Board would be obliged to meet and
select a successor to serve until the next
meeting of the General Assembly in case
Mr. Griffith j refused to complete the unex
pired term. Who would make a good
successor to Powderly ? My choice would
be Paul T. Bowen. He is a brainy man, is
conservative, and is the best writer on
labor topics in America to-day. t the
head of the order’s journal he would make
the dry bones of the other fellows rattle its
they never rattled before.”
Paul T. Bowen is, and has tieen for years,
a clerk iu the Fourth Auditor’s office at
Washington. He is well-known to inhabi
tants of Minneapolis as the former proprie
tor of the Hennepin County Mirror. He is
about 37 years old. John Hwinton calls him
“the most able and forcible writer on labor
topics in America.”
Bowen is not very widely known outside
the order, because he has kept himself aloof
from the quarrels and office-seeking squab
bles that nave been made so much of in
print. He is, however, said to have a very
strong backing among the class of Knights
who are Pownerly’s strongest friends.

They boarded the Third avenue elevated
railroad train at the Forty-second street
station and took seats in the f< irward car.
They were just from the far off land of the
wooden nutmeg. He deposited a large Dolly
Varden carpet-bag on the seat beside him,
and, fixing his scornful eyes on hers, in
quired:
“Dew yeou love me as much as yeou did
when we left Saouth Windyvillef”
The passengers eagerly’ listened for the
reply. You could have heard a belaying
pin drop. The guard forgot to flirt, with
the ladies in the third-story windows, and
every uerve stretched to its utmost tension,
availing the fair one's answer. It came:
"Yeou know I dew, Jotham.”
“An’ yoou love me, don’Qyeou, Jotham?”
“Love yeou! Wa-al, I guess I wouldn’t
ha’ bin ter all this ’xpense T 1 didn’t.”
“An’ if par should die you’ll let mar come

“Wa-al, we’ll see. Ycour par ain’t dead

“Jotham, where are wegoin' to put up?”’
“Daown tow Astor’s hotel, I calc late.”
“Ain’t it awful ’xpensivef’
“Dullar a day, dessay. But darn the

“No” (pensively). “Yeou dew love me,

She picked up her Aryus-Leader and
noticed that ticket 71,411 of the last draw

drawn the prize of $15,000. It struck her
that her ticket was somewhere near that
number. She was nearly tickled to death

$1 in as a joke more than anything else, and

My'patients say It is pleasant and palatab'e,

Diseases fastened its clutches upon her aud
for seven years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly and could
not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption and
was so much relieved on taking first dose
that she slept all night, and with one bottle
has been miraculously cured. Her name is

Advice to Motners.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrun should
always lie used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain aud the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to tastq. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays ail pal a, re
lieves wind, regulutes tho bowels, and is the
best known remedy for diarrlKea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 25
cents a bottle.
Each and every article marked in plain
figures, ami strictly one price. Appel &
