A RESTFUL RESORT.
ON THE BANKS tFT E DEAUTIFUL
SUVVAWXA..
An Ideal Place ft r the Weary to Linger.
Prose, Foetry and Eentimont—lm
pressions of One of the Boautlful
Spots In Florida.
Suwannee Sulphur Springs, July 24.--
The long summer day has drawn to a close,
and the evening shades have fallen about
the scene, while gontlo but cooling
zephyrs stir softly among the water-oaks
and willows, refreshing the strollers in the
beautiful grove, and fanning the cheeks of
the sentimental few who still linger by the
banks of the historic river.
O’erhoad the banners of the night unfold.
The day hath passed into the land of dreams.
Ono by one through the vista of the trees
appear the lights in the hotel and cosy cot
tages above; footsteps ring out along the
distant plank w alks, and ever and anon the
gay laughtor of some pleasure-seeker is
beard, mingled with the mirthful romp of
children at play. Frbm below me there
comes soothingly to the ear the gentle but
never-ceasing roar of the waterfall from
the springs.
Soon the strollers have left the grove,
the ecuple who have been making love in
the big swing have deserted their favorite
resort and gone slowly arm-in-arm up the
incline toward the hotel, and the lingerers
by the riverside have also disappeared.
And now I am sitting alone on the bluff,
watching the dark flowing stream beneath
jne, and listening to the roar of the water
fail, the monotonous chirp of crickets in the
grass, the singing of the euaiis in the trees,
and the occasional hoot cf a swamp-owl In
the dark woods across the river.
* * * * * * *
It is time for the evening meal, and I
should be on my' way to the hotel with the
rest of my late companions; but the full
moun of July is slowly rising over the trees,
the hour, the spot conjure up romantic
thoughts, and so I am content to Ftay. Sen
timent has carried the day, and I linger yet
awhile to enjoy the beauteous scone and
give myself up to pleasant reveries.
The Suwannee is a lovely stream, well
worthy of the delightful melody which has
made it famous, in the drawing-rooms
of England, the salons of France
and the music halis of America
“Hay Down Upon the Suwannee River”
has long laid its own with "Home, Sweet
Home,” “T he Last Koso of Summer,” and
other world-renowned melodies. Whether
sung before tho footlights by Nffsson, or
Patti, or lamented Emma Abbott, or
played in orchestra by Thomas, or Strauss,
or Lothian, or Damrosoh, it never yet has
failed to strike a responsive chord in the
souls of listeuing thousands. Many tender
memories center around the old melody
which has stirred so many hearts and
dimmed so many eyes with unconscious
tears us its sweet but plaintive notes have
fallen softly on the ears of audiences all
over the world.
The Sawanneo is a beautiful but also mys
terious river. It takes its rise somewhere
in that gloomy spot known as the “Ofce
finokee"—sometimes called the “Dismal
Swamp of Georgia.” The lovely river flow
ing peacefully beneath me is a gracious gift
to the outside world from that awful jungle
and morass whose depths no one hes ever
penetrated fully and perhaps never will.
Sometimes the Suwannee, without any ap
parent cause, rises suddenly in a night,
almost overflowing its rock-ribbed banks,
and weeks elapse before the treshet subsides.
Again, w hile other rivers in Georgia and
Florida may be raging fl >ods, our beautiful
river hero flows placidly out to the
sea, undisturbed by the slightest rise.
The sulphur springs at this noted resort
are one of nature’s curiosities, and must be
seen lo be appreciated. They are a gift
from the Great Physician of the universe
to uiling mortals on earth. Alongside of
their virtues drugs and drugstores, doctors,
medicines and patent compounds fall into
speedy disrepute.
“Throw physio to the dogs; I’ll none of
it,” quoth Macbeth, and so says the invalid
here after a few draughts of the healing
waters and plunge into the spring baths.
Away down into tha bowels of
tho earth, in some huge, mys
terious laboratory, where sulphur
and limestone abound, are compounded
these wonderful waters, whioii are dis
charged through five "boils” into the
spring iuclosure. The quantity coming
out every miuu'e is estimated at 45,(100
gallons. The springs form a sort of niche
in the bluff, occupying a spot about 30 feet
wide and 50 feet long. A strong coquina
wall surrounds them and shuts out the
waters of the Suwannee when it gets in a
freshet. Through a window in tho wall tho
overflow escapes, forming the waterfall
I have alluded to, tho roar of which never
ceases. Several miles up the river, where
the “Suwannee river route to Florida”—tho
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad
crosses tho stream whose name it has chosen
for its “route,” thsro is another celebrated
sulphur spring, of equnl volume, and sad to
be of similar virtue. It is called the “ White
spring.” This charming resort, where I
now find myself, is one of tho most incon
venient places to get to in this country,
owing to ill-considered schedules and insuf
ficieut train service on the Gainesville
division of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railroad, by which it is reached at.
Suwannee station, one mile distant from tho
springs.
Altiiough the only summer resort on that
lino, the officials have made no apnorent
tlfort to build it up and attract travel there,
either in the way of rodtood rates cr a con
venient train service. F r some tiino a
sleeper was run from -a- rinna'i t> the
springs, which was a j.t . comfort to
Visitors going and comiu;,. Tit n>w the
sleeper has been taken oil', mi l there is
weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth
on that celebrated all-night run which
brings one here via the clasiuo town of Du
pont. However, when von get here you aro
repaid for the discomfort and annoyance of
the journey, for whether sick and in need of
the water, or tired and broken down in
and mind and hunting for quiet and
rest, you find it all here.

DARK TALES OF MOUNT DIABLO.
Secret Service Men Raida Wayside Inn
of Sydney F lat.
From the dan Francisco Examiner.
Travelers through Contra Costa county
can now stop) at the village of Sydney Flat
without fear of having their throats cut
during the night, or waking up in tho morn
ing to find that they had been ro'.bed waile
they slept, or of having bogus money handed
to them in exchange for their gold. They
wiil owe their feeling of security to United
States Secret Service Agent Harris, who
has just broken up the gang of outlaws who
for years infested that country. Ho has
lodged in jail at Martinez, on tho charge of
utttering spurious coin, John 11. Green, alias
William H. Green, and Mrs. Fanny Faga,
keepers of a notorious inn at Sydney Flat,
and is now searching for ex-Convict “Bob”
Brown, the leador of the gang.
The roadsido inn called the Sydney Flat
hotel is situated about live miles from An
tioch and l'.j miles from Summerville, on
the road between those points. Manv a
dark tala is told of men w ho have retired to
its fiedroonis after exhibiting large sums of
money aud who were never seen to pass out
of its door again.
Kobbery was an every night occurrence
there, and men who, being compelled to
pass a night under tho roof of the Sydney
Flat hotel, had been warned of what might
happen to the n, were in the habit of sleep
ing with their revolvers in their hands.
Few travelers over enjoyed its hospi
tality, ami the place would long ago have
passed out of existence as an inn ha l it not
boon for the custom derived from the
Mount Diablo coal xuiuers, who on evory
pay day were wont to squander their earn
ings at tile Sydney Flat hotel an l indulge
in wild orgies with the girls whom Mrs.
Fage hired to entertain them.
Green was tho instrument of his own un
doing. Several weeks ago, while on a visit
to this city, he got drunk and informed
Agent Harris that ho would deliver into his
ha:.ds a counterfeit ir if a suitable reward
were offered. Harris induced Green to con
fess that Brown was the counterfeiter for
whom he said he had bought blocks of tiu
not knowing they were to bo used in making
bogus money, which service Brown had re
warded by palming some of bis counterfeits
off on Green. Brown, according to Green,
hud left the cabin in Sydney Flat, in which
h f > lived and had his coining plant, because
of a row he had with Green.
Several weeks after the interview with
Green the secret service agent was informed
that Antioch was flooded with counterfeit
money. Through Constable Dennis Fitts of
Antioch Harris instructed the merchants of
that placo to examine every coin they re
ceived, and note the man who was passing
counterfoils. It was not long before he was
informed that Green was the man. At 5:45
o’clock in tho morning on July 3, Harris
aud Fitts, armed with a warrant, alighted
from a buggy in front of the Sidney Fiat
hotel, and aroused the sleeping Green and
Mrs. Page. They denied having any coun
terfeiting tools or spurious money in their
house, and declared that everything of that
description would be found in Brown's
vacate 1 cabin, which was situated off the
road about 100 yards from the hotel.
A search revealed concealed under the
clothing in a bureau drawer two steel
molds for 50-cent coins and plants for hold
ing them together, pilaster of paris molds,
block tiq, antimony, crucibles, a ladle and
assorted files, all of which are used in the
manufacture of bogus uionev.
In the ex-convict’s cabin they found jars
for electro-plating a battery, more cruel
hies, a charcoal stove and drippingß front
molten metal, showing that the coiners had
been at work recently.
Bogus 50-cent, 25 cent and 10 cent coins,
all brand new, were found in the possession
of Green and Mrs. Fage.
A dozen men are willing to testify that
Green gave them bogus money In exchange
for genuine coins at the Sydney Flat hotel
and during his visits to Antioch.
Investigation developed the fact that Mrs.
Fage deserted her husband about ton years
ago, since when she has been spending her
time with Green. He is 35 years old and she
has seen 40 years. Tho prisoners were taken
to Martinez and committed to jail In de
fault of giving bonds in the sum of $2,500
< ach. The people of Antioch and the sur
rounding country rejoice over the fact that
long terms of imprisonment aweit Green
and the woman, because their inu was the
plague spot of the county.
AS ENGINEER’S PRES INTIME NT.
Why Charley Jenkins Thinks He Once
Lad a Message from Hsavon.
From the Cleveland H oriel.
Charley Jenkins wu3 an engineer on the
Baltimore and Ohio for years, and he had
many hair-breadth escapes. His run was
between Garrett, Ind., and Chicago Junc
tion, 0., and nearly everybody along the
route came to know him personally. His
friends could tell bis engine every time by
the D'culinr “toot,'’ and, whenever tho
engineer was in sight, there would be a
wave of the hand as a recognition of friend
ship. His engine, the 720, was the best on
the division, and, if a fast run was to be
made, Jenkins and the 730 were sure to be
on the call board for it.
One day the old engineer was taken ill,
and for weeks he lingered on his bed, when
it seemed only a thread held him on to life.
He was sadly missed along the route, and
the peculiar “toot” of the whistle was
heard no more, for although 720 was kept
running, there were other hands at the
throttle.
Tho crisis of his illness came. The family
surrounded his bed and watched with
breathless eagerness for any sign of a
change.
The stillness of tbs room was oppressive.
Nothing could be heard rave the regular,
heavy breathing of the engineer,
Suddenly he arose on his elbow. He stared
wildly around, and his eyes looked like a
madman's. Then he sit up In bod, clutched
an imaginary sheet of paper, and gasped:
“Tiffin; train five; engine seven-twenty;
prepare to meet thy God.”
He sank back exhausted sad fell into a
quiet, easy sleep. When iie awoke he was
on a fair way to recovery, but uy that time
the news had reached the place that a terri
ble accident had happeuod, that No. 5 had
collided with a freight; that engine 720
was a wreck, end that theeugineera ti fire

SODA FOR THE MILLION.
RIB” O - E FOUNT 'I 4 WHICH
SCO'’ T. I ETV ThRO iTA
A Quiz i- y Invention—The Trade
Got Irs Impetus ;rom tho Great
Fountain at the Centennial A
Countryman the Originator cf Ice
Crram Sodi.
The boy who dreamed of finding gold
mines and caves of buried treasure now
owns a soda water fountain, ad as a gen
eral thing be is just as well satisfied.
The evolution of the soda fountain, fir
thermore, has increased wonderfully of late,
aud no man dare say what may bo irs
future. The first one of which record can
be found was made in 1532 by a
Philadelphia man, whose memory
should be blessed by thirsty
maidens for all time. This man rigged up
a little machine with many stop-cocks and
faucets, and proceeded to deal out the effer
vescent article at 10 cents per glass. Other
people took up the scheme, and by the time
a few years slipped by several drug stores
in each of tho big cities offered lemon, va
nilla and chocolate soda wat.r for sale. It
was a very crude business then, although a
pros] erous one.
But, of course, tho trade received its
great impetus from the patronage of tho im.
metiso fountain at the Centennial exhibi
tion. This cost $20,000 and was considered
a marvel. Indeed it was in the matter of
expense; but much handsomer fountains are
now sold for a fourth of that sum. Further
more, one can procure almost any kina of a
non-alcoholic beverage of a big fountain.
There are certainly three places in Phila
delphia where from 1,200 to 2,000 glasses
are sold each day. White-aproned men
stand back of the counter —no, they don’t
stand. They have no time for standing dur
ing these days. They oeud forward.
"Lemon ptiospha:e,” gasps the perspiring
customer.
“Zim!” rings a glass, as tho attendant
seizes it. Tho same second lie whirls around,
catching a bottle in his other hand, aud
throwing a tablespoonful of phosphate into
tho glass. The bottle is dropped, and, like
a flash, the lemon syrup is turned in atop
the phosphate. Before the syrup fairly
settles in the glass carbonated water sput
ters therein. The glass is dropped in a
holder, a spoon dexterously twirled mixes
it, and, with a check for 5 cents, it is placed
in front of tho guest. And before tho latter
has time to touch it the attendant is taking
another order.
ALL SORTS OF SOFT DRINKS.
Yes, you can get almost anything at a
large soda water fountain. F r example,
here are some from the list display! and: Choc
olate, coffee, vanilla, cream, blackberry,
lemon, phosphate, malt-and-milk, laciart,
“next morning,” grape juice, “hit-’oni
again,” strawberry, egg phosphate, “76,”
orange, blood orange, orangeade—and
enough more to fill half a column.
It is queer, but those who manage foun
tains say biondes usually call for straw
berry-and-cream; brunettes are partial to
vanillin Tall .girls like chocolate, short
girls fancy lemon phosphate. It is very ex
hllirating to see a girl drink a glass of soda
water, especially if there aro two girls and
lwo glaives. Tuey will go into a drug store
and carefully scan the list of syrups. Tho
clerk patiently waits.
“Ummm —says the tall girl. “Guess
I’ll try coffee and cream. What’reyou go
ing to take, Madge'”
"Think I’ll choose crushed violets for a
change.”
“O, I wouldn’t!”
“Why?”
"Always remind me of a box that Will
sent. I was picking the violets out and a
great, green caterpillar crawled from a
bunch of them.”
“Ugh! How horrid!”
Haifa dozen people are standing in front
of the counter, restlessly looking at the
clerk.
“What will you have!” the clerk finally
“What had I better take, Madge'”
‘'l don’t know; why not try orange?”
A big man with a valise growls:
“Put up this prescription; I’ve got to
catch a train."
"Yes, sir; coming, sir,” answers the
clerk, edging toward him, holding two
glasses. Then he again says:
“What will you have?"
“LemoD,” says Madge.
“Chocolate,” says her triend.
The clerk begins to fill the order.
“I’ve got just throe minutes,” growls the
big man; and an elderly woman nearby
oalls sharply for a postage stamp.
“Hold on,” Madge suddenly exciaims;
“believe I wifi try orangeade, after all.”
The clerk swears inwardly, slingt a half
drawn Byrup away, and tile big man angrily
walks out, followed by two other custom
ers who intended to have purchased $5
worth of goods.
A LONG SUFFERING CLERK. ’
At last tho girls get their soda water, and
thou ask for more shaved ice. It is given
them. Madge sips her orangeade. “Please
put in more syrup, it isn’t sweet at all.”
The long-suffering clerk does so, and tries
to wait on two other people, when Madge’s
friend exclaims:
"We are the first to he waited on, and I
want more soda in this.”
When they go out at last, they say spite
fully:
“Awfully impudent, that clerk?”
“Yes indeed; it’s the last time I go in that
store.”
And the clerk gives thanks.
.Such a scene is often witnessed in a drug
store, but the highest art of the soda water
business is found at the fashionable confec
tioner’s. Here is a large, cool store, with
a i onyx counter upon which little fountains
splash. A great silver scoop is filled with
ice shaven thin as tissue paper; several
clerks are there, and hurry is out of the
question. Hither comes the fashionable
girl who runs into the city on a hot day to
do some necessary shopping. Here she
drops in for a few minutes, just as a man
drops into a barroom. She sits down in a
light, wicker chair, and selects her syrup,
while tho clerk patiently awaits her pleas
ure. Milady chooses coffee-ico-cream-soda.
The clerk carefully pours the syrup from a
nice bottle into a dainty glass. Thou he
places therein a generous spoonful of ice
cream. This is surrounded by sheets of
shaven ice, and upon all carbonate water is
turned until the glass is nearly filled. A
spoon with a long handle, a nice paper
napkin complete the affair, and it costs 20
cents.
By tho way. speaking of ice cream soda,
the great majority cf people believe the
idea is of recant origin; but this is a mis
take. The first person who conceived the
idea of putting a spoonful of ice cream into
a glass of soda water lives up in Lycoming
county, where lie runs a little drug store.
Twenty years n go ice was very scarce, and
thisrr.au couldn’t procure enough to keep
his fountain c oled. The only person in t..e
village who had enough was a confectioner,
and while the latter would sell no ice to the
druggist, he lold him a great deal of me
cream. People lised the scheme, and the
idea spread from one place to another until
It is now almost universal.
As to the profits in soda water fountains,
they are difficult to ascertuiu. Where a
man sells the beverage at 5 cents a glass, he
rarely has all tho niceties to be obtained in
an expensive establishment.
Most dealers make their own syrups now
adays, and although formerly chemicals
were used, at present fruit is so cheap that
one is almost always sure of obtaining
genuine extracts. The whitish fluid used to
sweeten the soda is i othing, of course, but
sugar an i ••nr. Th s year sugar ad ice
aro so c e - reaver, that aiJ soda water
