THE MORNING NEWS? BENDAY, AUGUST 29, 189/.
sdate, says the Tlmes-Union, now esti
mate that the crop will amount to between
330.0)0 and 200,000 boxes. The bulk of the
oranges will come from the counties of
Manatee and Lee. Volusia county will
come next, with from 15.0ut) to 20,000 boxes.
The crop would probably have reached
230,000 boxes had it not been for the
drought in the spring and arly sum ier.
This caused quantities of sm-Ml oranges to
drop from the trees, especial.y in the mid
dle? orange growing section of the state.
In 189S the probabilities are, Inezes and
droughts barred, that the crop will reach
ns high as # 60a,000 boxes. All of the orange
growers are* sanguine of success. They
have now tided over the worst period—
that following ihe disaster of the ’freeze
anti have restored their groves to some
thing like their old-time beauty.
Cl HWS .\OT FIGHTING.
A Writer Who TMnkn the Struggle
Cannot Last Uju'li Longer.
From the Chicago ,Tim*s-Herald.
From a private and reliable source I
learn by letter from an oLicial in the
llabana and Sagua districts in Cuba that
the rebels are in worse condition than they
have been at any period si.icc the bloqdy
war commenced, over tw;o years ago.
From this same source I was* informed a
couple of months ago that it was only a
question of time, and little ti n dt that,
before the insurrectionists wo, ti l march
upon Havana, capture it, rout A’eyler and
his forces and thus end the stri. ggle. Thus
it seems that the situation has materially
changed, it is not surprising. 1 have
written many columns about tt •* war
down there. At no time fcas it ever oc
curred to me that the rebels, un 4*>r such
leadership as has been maintain *1 from
the Inciplency of the trouble up lo the
present, would or could be sue 3t!Sßful.
ICvents of the past, a forecast of tie fu
ture, show that 1 was not entirely incor
rect.
The struggle cannot last much 1 onger.
It cannot by the very nature of t kings.
The revolutionists have no money. They
have no credit. They have lost wha lever
prestige they once possessed. They c.t nnot
borrow any longer, and the cigarma kers
at Key West. Jacksonville, Tampa, * Vew
York and New Orleans have become t Ired
of meeting assessments from month to
month simply In order that Benja. nin
Guerra of New York might dine at the
fashionable cafes situated on Manhat -in
Island, and that Gomez and his lieutena its
could buy expensive shoulder-straps a fid
glistening swords that have never be vn
unsheathed. The junta at New Yo rk
promises that during the rainy season on
the island that the Spanish troops would
l* 1 decimated by Cuban bullets, assisßxl
by yellow fever and small-pox. Nothii/g
of the kind has occurred. The Cubans
have not won a single battle for montlts; ,
and for that matter. tt**y never have won I
a signal victory. The rainy season is
about over. Within a fortnight dry weath
er will set in, and then Weyler will throw
every soldier now under hint in the tie.d
with orders to conquer or tie That is the
information contained in U letter just
received from Havana.
Cuba has been particularly free from
disease during the present summer. There
has been some fever of cour.* but il has
been of .t mild character, and deaths have
been few. The Spanish troop, f have been
well cared for during their vacation and
are in good trim to go to the .front and
tight. According to report**, sh Vloads of
provisions have been received ai • Havana
within the las! six weeks and sto. "ed away
for winter use. Forty thousand i unproved
rifles have recently been stored a way at
the arsenal at Cabana ami amm imitlon
sufficient to last the crown’s arm y for
months has been purchased of a New
York concern. Surely it looks as if *he
rebels will soon I** called upon to tig tt.
The junta must have been disappointed
yesterday when they read that our * V*w
minister to Spain would arrive at Mad ri *l
with a friendly message from this nati m
to King Alfonso. It has long despair* and
of a bellicose report from Consul Genera I
Lee. It has been unable to dispose of its
millions of dollars in bonds that were
placed upon the market for sale in New
York some months ago. It could not stir
up trouble between the United States and
Japan. It has been too weak in argument
to convince the sensible meintiers of con
gress that the island naturally belonged to
this country and that we should take it
by force. It has been too cowardly to
show its treasury books and unfold to
the world what lias become of the thous
ands of dollars contributed to its treasury
by sentimental Americans. It lias prom
ised that the war would end every week
from the time it commenced to the pres
ent. It lias guaranteed young Americans
who would go there and light a principal
ity, and many of them have gone, 'i'nroitgh
Its news agency the most revolting tale*
that could lie told have been given to live
press, all of which were more or less un
true. |
Tlie prediction is made by my friend in
Havana iliat Weyler will have the island j
under subjection by the end of the year.
After two years tlie Cubans have is-en ]
unable to take or lo hold a single town or j
province. They have burned and slaugh- j
tend. They have scalped the dead. They -
have murdered more men than Weyler" !
soldiers have done. They have violated |
every law of morals. And now, after hav- !
ing needlessly sacrificed the lives of hun
dreds of thousands and caused the destruc
tion of millions of dollars' worth of prop
erty. they are about to lay down. Boor
old Gomez; cow trelly old Cisneros!
London Venison.
From the Cornhlll Magazine,
The two kinds which reach London, rod
tleer ami fallow, are in season at different
times, and probably need some difference -
of treatment in preparing for the table.
The season for red deer venison opens
in the beginning of July, is at its best In
August and tlie first fortnight of Sep
tember. and closes, or ought to close,
when the stags begin roaring at the end
of Hun month. Fallow bueks come into
season In June, when Ihe does are- giving
birth to their lawns; but the winter fal
low venison Is the fattest and ls*sl. bucks
and ilia's being both In season, Most of
the red deer venison which finds Its way
to London Is Scotch—wild venison, shot
in the forests. There Is great difference
in quality in ihi Highland venison. To
lie good, venison needs to be fat; and un
like most game the "artificially fed" tleer,
or rather ihe deer that enjoys the feed of
n good English park. Is la-tter for (he
n> m whan Picking up z hard living
on a Scotch mountain. Rut there are
varieties of Scotch deer; (hose on for
ests, with plenty of low ground attached
grow fat and heavy, mid the riant Is as
good as Dim of an English park-fed stag.
The only thoroughly bad British red deer
venison is that of slags shot too late in
the season, when they are "routing."
At Die end of ti tolar and Issglnnlng
of Novrinlier the Mesh deteriorates rapidly,
and Is rank and (tour, evidence, If any
Were needed, that the shisitllig ought to
have ciias I earlier. But a good deal of
Itusi-lau venison, shlp|M ,1 re ady and cut
up Into joints, is very poor syifr Tit,
same rules as lo season govern DM* sup
pi v of red tits r v enison from English
parks, hut the weight and qxiaiity of the
latter ate superior to tlie (cvtt'li. Most
large proprietors find a sale for their spare
venison n-ar holm . ami consequently It Is

hinds are again In season lit whiter Hut
Die fallow venison Is In every way better
Home is even etail fed, and tlie carcasses

Brooklyn IhmilM Give More Travel
For Five Cent* Than Any Other.
From the New York Tribune.
In no place can one gel more riding for
5 cents—one car fare—than in Brooklyn,
in fact, one can ride continuously for a
week, with the exception of changing curs
lit making transfers, for one fare, if so
inclined. Previous to the new rules by
which the Brooklyn Heights Company
abolished most of their transfers on Sun
days, a person could, by paying one fare,
swing around a trodey road circle in a
sort ot perpetual motion that out Keely
ed Keely.
The drawback about the trolley endless
circle rides is that they do not reach to
the suburbs, and are therefore not valu
able as fresh-air invigorators. For in
stance, here is a circuitous ride on which
one can while away half a dozen days.
Take an east bound Fuiton street car,
transfer to Nostrand avenue line, thence
transfer to the Flushing avenue line at
their crossing, and from the Flushing ave
nue line transfer to the Gretn point ave
nue car, which will bring you back to
Fulton street, where there is a transfer to
the Fulton street line again. Repeat this
until weary. Changes can be worked on
this electric merry-go-round by taking
Green or Putnam avenue cars, atso Cross
town cars and the Tompkins avenue line.
If one long ride is wanted, with plenty of
suburbs In it, start at Jamaica, go to
Rrigevvood, transfer to Myrtle avenue,
lo Court street, and at Bush street to the
line that terminates at Ulmer park. This
trip of 22 milts will cost less than a quar
ter of a cent a mile.
The Nassau Electric Company has a
system by which it makes circuitous rid
ing on its many lines impossible. The man
who pays a 5-eent fare is entitled to one
transfer and no more. He gets his trans
fer slip when he pays his fare, and if he
asks for another transfer when presenting
a transfer slip tae conductor will polite
ly decline. The officers say that no one
who is ust tg tht'lr cars to go somewhere
is discommoded by this system, as they
run through cars from each terminal point
to almost every other terminal point.
There is, however, a railroad company
in Brooklyn that will carry a passenger
for 5 cents until the passenger weakens
or until the company dissolves or changes
its system. That is the Brooklyn Union
Elevated Company. Its between pack and
Junction statk >us enable one to step from
one train without even going to the trou
ble of getting transfer slips. For instance,
a few hours might be whizzed away in
the following -manner: Pay a fare at the
station at the river end of Broadway, go
to the Gates uV"nue station, take the re
turn train on tlie Lsxinglon avenue line
to Bridge street -and idyrtie avenue, where
a junction platform enables you to take a
Fifth avenue traiin from the opposite side
ot the platform. Ride out to Bay RiJge,
anti there a niitl-ttr.uk station will enable
you to lake tlie next train back to the
city, after looking! out over the bay. This
time get off at Da Navy street and Myr
tle avenue station and catch a Ridgewood
train. Having viewed the Ridgewood pic
nic parks, take train back to Broadway.
Walk downstairs a.nd toko the Broadway
train to East New York, without having
had any more fares asked of you. At the
East Nt vv York terminal a good view ran
be obtained of Cypret s Hills and Its sister
cemeteries, nnd eastward of Forest park.
Use the center pintf-um again to catch a
return train, for no ot' will ask any ques
tions. Rldt back lo tire Bridge or Navy
street platforms and repeat ad infinitum.
There Is only one thing to guard against,
and that is not to run to the bridge or
Fulton ferry, as the rid.* will then come
to an end. But ut all Dw other terminals
there are center-track stations, and, in
deed, there are many of these scattered
over the route for purposes of economy.

If you were asked to locate a railroad
station which did not sell more than one
ticket in three days, your mind tvould

Frank fort-on-the v Maih, Aug. 6.—The city
of Frankfort owes its importance to the
Jews, and chiefly to ihe Rothschild fam
ily. It Is one of the finest cities in Flu
rope, and is the richest City in the world
for its population, althou v gh of late Ber
lin lias taken considerable business away*
and has become the center pf interna
tional banking relations. There are still
174 banks in Frankfort, to a population
of 238,0tX), which is one bank to evAry 1,300
persons. Some of th£ banks have a') cap
ital of 75,000,000 or 80,000,1.0 marks. Several
have over 50,000,000 marks. Institutions
like the Rothschilds have a capital that
is practically unlimited. No one kno vs
the amount.
The Jews have obtained all this wealth*
and prominence in spite of ostracism, per
secution and restrictions of many kinds.
When Anselm Rothschild was born in
Frankfort, what wa*' known as the Juden
gasse was separated from the rest of the
city by high walls and heavy gates, which
were shut at nightfall kept closed
until sunrise. On Sundays fbey were nev
er opened. Goethe, who was a native of
Frankfort, gives a graphic description of
the Judengasse, with its filth and squalor
and stenches to which the nerves of its in
habitants had been deadened by long fa
miliarity with the noisome atmosphere.
The walls of the Juden
gasse were destroyed by Kleb
er's army in 1796. In 1.372 the
whole district was condemned as .t nui
sance by the sanitary authorities. and
cleared out. except a single row of t'id
fashioned houses, which date from t.de
fifteenth century, and were the homes of
the ancestors of the richest and most in
fluential citizens of Frankfort.
The Jewish population of the city is now
from 35,000 to 40,000, about 10 per cent, of
the total. They monopolize the banking
business, they own and occupy the most
sumptuous residences, they have the
choicest boxes at the opera; their horses
and carriages are the smartest to be seen
in the parks and boulevards, and they buy
the most costly pictures. They have a
society of their otvn, which is entirely in
different to the Jealousy and iscorn of the
poorer ixvrtlon of the population who pro
fess the Christian faith.
The ancestors of the Frankfort Jews
came from Palestine, Turkey and Spain to
escape persecution in the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth centuries, and be
came the serfs of the emperor of Ger
many, who accorded them protection in
exchange for a fixed tribute which went
into his private purse. In 1349 Charles
IV., being pressed for funds, mortgaged
his Jews to the municipality of Frankfort
for £86,000. The sum was never repaid,
ami thus the inhabitants of the Juden
gasse passed under the control of the city
council, which selected a swampy and un
healthful spot on the margin of the town,
where they were obliged to reside, and ex
acted from them a certain portion of their
earnings, or sold their labor at so much a
month. The Jews who controlled their
own time and talent paid dearly for that
privilege, but were shrewd enough to make
a profit, and advance themselves slowly
but surely. They were not allowed to use
the sidewalk, but were compelled to trave.l
with cattle and carts in the middle of th<*
street. They were compelled to wear a
distinctive dress. Every male Jew had a
pateh of yellow cloth upon his breast an 1
every woman wore blue and white stripes.
They were allowed only one name.
The man who lived in No. 52 Judengasse.
which was known as “the house of the
red shield," because of a eign which the
ocetniant placed over Us door, was called
Anseim.
The original Anselm was a dealer in
old coins and curiosities. He married and
had a boy who was called Mayer Anselm
in order to distinguish him from his fath
er. He was sent to a rabbi relative to
be educated .and afterward got a place
in the hank, where he developed remark
able business talent. When his father
died he came home, took his house, his
trade prospered, became influential among
his race, gained the respect of Christians
as well as Jews, and was called Anselm
of the Red Shield, or von Rothschild.
But his fame was only local until he
made the .acquaintance of Baron von Ks
troff, then landgrave of Hesse, who was
a coin cellector, and sent for Anselm one
day to make some purchases. When the
latter arrived the baron was engaged in
a game of chess and could not be disturb
ed. The Jew stood by patiently and
watched the play. The baron was cheek
ed, it seemed, hopelessly, and, turning to
the Jew, he said:
“Do you play chess?"
"Sometimes." was the answer.
"What would you do if you were in my
fix?"
The Jew modestly pointed out a move
which tlie baron accepted and followed
his advice through the rest of a game that
was soon won. After that Anselm spent
a good deal of time playing chess with
the landgrave, who prided himself on his
ability to beat every one of his subjects.
The baron and the coin merchant thus
became great friends, and there was con
siderable business between them In the
way of loans and discounts. It was Baron
von Estroff who sent 16,800 Hessian sol
diers to America during the war of the
revolution, to fight on the British side,
and received a large sum of money for
their services. When Napoleon came along
a few years after the baron had saved
of it about 4,000,000 thalers in coin, which
he took to Anselm and asked him to con
ceal for him so that It might escape the
French army. Anselm accepted the trust
without responsibility, and, as the story
goes, dropped the bags of coin to the bot
tom of liis well. The French soldiers
plundered his house ami took away every
thing valuable that belonged to him, but
the landgrave's money was overlooked.
As soon as the army had passed on and
he could do so without being suspected,
Onselm loaded the treasure on the back of
a donkey and started for England, where
he Intrusted It to his son, Nathan, a
young man who had gone to London a
l#w years before and was doing a modest
business in shaving notes and in the com
mlslson way. There the falher and son
quietly bought, a little at a time, large
blocks of English, Austrian and German
sei'tirltie*. which were depressed by the
war. Anselm went back to Frankfort,
and there speculated with some of the
money. It wa* nine years before the land
grave returned. In the meantime his
money had quadrupled, and Anselm Roth*
eh lid returned it to him, w ith Interest at 5
[4er <'ent„ which of liself amounted lo
llM.inn. a sms.l fortune. At first the land
grave Ueeltned to take the Interest, but
Anseim of the Red Shield insisted that hi*
was entitle*! In it. It was * very prova
ble investment, for the landgrave told the
story all over Europe, and made hi* agent
famous, so that every king and iluke and
Hit.* |km# tiial(* wlu> w anted money sought
It of the honest Anselm, who became
known as "the court Jew "

Thus was laid the foundation of the mtm

early as 1820 tl e y were the greatest bank
ers in the w at Id, making a specials ,t
government loans. Honors and decora 1
Bonn were show* red upon them by grate'

has been consul-general for the Au-uri.m
empire In London, Pyiris and Frankfort
for more than half a aeutry. The son- in
herited the financial g.yntiiß of their father'
but those who hyive *itudied their career
.n detail hold that the :*uccess of the f , m
ily- has been due to the -fact that its great
business has always been conducted with,
a unity of aim and interest. The dvine
injunction of Anselm Rythschild to hia
sons vas that none of them should ever
undertake an important financial transac
tion without consulting his mother and hi*
brothers. This continues do be the ru*
of the houhe in the present generation
Every serious matter of business Is the
subject cf mutual considei ation and Is
carried out by Ihe united efforts of the
whole family, evtvy one of wihom partici
pate in the profits according to his posi.
tion. While the great banks are in a.
measure separate aru> distinct they nr*,
nevertheless the same, and the family
which is now very large, is a single fire*
with a single interest.
They have made it a rule to Intermarry,
a ud have defied the doctrine of the sjier.l
tints who have forbidden fhe marriage rt
lattions on the ground that it debllltut- s a .
raise. A Rothschild always looks amung
his counslns for a wife: unelAs have mar
ried! nieces, nephews have married aunts-
A mother reason of their great success is,
saiil to be that they have never striven fur
extravagant profits. They always set a
limfit to their operations, and never try to
get tlie iast cent. They soil out during*
the beat of an undertaking arid never wait
till efsrculation gets cold. "List some ona
else m ake something,” is a favc-rite adag
with '.’he Rothschilds, but someone eisa,
has usually pocketed the loss. Thydr high,
personal character and integrity halve con
tributed in no small degree to the *r suc
cess. There has never been a hla kl
sljeep it their great family, and when any
of' the jambs have shown indications of
irn'Uinesf* they have been taken care of
and brote'ted in their own fold.
Anselm never dreamed that his humble!
curio-shop would develop into the greatest;
financia 1 hov'tsi- in the world, but he laidt
his foundation Well, and to his wise andf
frugal w 'Je is due much of the success ot

ty of the family, who have recently re
stored It as rneeufiy as possible to its for
mer appearance. No entreivty or Induce
ment offered by her sons could induce
the old lady to move. The name of h-e
family came from the sign oveir the door.
The city authorities had compelled hep
to live there while she was poor and peo
ple could come to aoe her there now that
she was rich. In !* r eyes the old hous*
had some mysterious influenae over tha
fortunes of the family, and she feared!
that if it were deserved woit'd changa
their luck. She frequently visited hep
sons at their fine mansions in Frankfort,
and its suburbs, and had a box at the)
opera which she attended nearly event
night, wearing silks of the gayest color t
and a Jewish hood adorned with flown *
and most costly lace.
She and her husband are buried higettn-n
in the old Jewish cemetery, Wthare tha
graves are very close together. Eat lx
occupant is allowed only his six feet ;£

only this inscription in German:

The Rotixschilds have done a grea t deal
for Frankfort in the way of benev olenea
as well as Business, and it is the < aistonx
of the family to distribute a large t aim of
money among the deserving poor <-f theifi
sect annually upon the Jewish nex t year.
The most conspicuous of their benG ,-olenea
Is a public li.'jrary, which occupies tha
former residence of Carl Mayer Roths
child, and was Sounded by his duughtef
several years ago.
The banking business of the Uimily ifi

was established in tiie early part; of this
century. It is sltuafipd where or re stool

Christian cities. Everytihing about it is
strikingly plain and oid-fashton< id. Thera
are no carpets on the fliior and Ihe desk*
and finishings are of pine inst nd of tha
mahogany that you find in i the n> wer
banking houses of the city. T here is flti
air of severity and frugality > about tha
place.
