from a re. nt issue of t- National Ho
tel Reporter: “It is curious, though true,
that of all the houses. * tons, hotels and
other buiMhigs that dot the island of Key
West from one shore to the other, not one
of them ha- a ehimney or anything that
will answer t)* ( purpose of a chimney.
Wood or coal nr fuel oi any kind are un

hawk their wares about the streets."
Jacksonville Times-Fnion: The most sen
sational case of tin* criminal court term
tlius far was that of William llenry Mill
iard. whit*-, charged with the crime of
bigamy. The defendant was charged with
marrying Christina Mallard June y, IS9O,
and of marrying Ollie Bryan May 21. lf>97.
The jury remained out a long time, finally
bringing in a verdict of guilty. The de
f* rise set up by A. M. Miehelson was that
the eomp’alnani, Christina Mallard, has
one-eighth n< gro blood in her veins, and
that according to the constitution of the
state of Floridthe marriage of the de
fendant to the complainant, Christiana
Mallard, was null and void, and the de
fendant was innocent of the crime charg
ed against him.
The gold excitement at Miami continues
to grow, it is the theme of conversation
among all. Every piece of rock is dost ly
scrutinized. It is further developed that
a quantity of what seems to be identically
thi same as found six miles from Miami
has been found within the limits of the
corj>oration of the city. On Saturday a
party will go to Bin na Vista to test a pi*-
culiar strata of rock which abounds in
that si-ction. Contractor Varnado will
lead the party with a suffl lent supply of
dynamite to crack open ilie earth. Mr.
Know 1 ton said, on being shown a sample
of th* quartz: “That is without doubt a
Florida formation and it is genuine gold
quartz. 1 have seen in several instances
the same formation.” Further he went on
to explain tyi regard to the peculiar forma

Tallahassee, Fin., Aug. 29.—U. L. Ben
nett, general manager and promoter of
the Florida Western railroad, now build
ing between Carribelle and Apalachicola,
also has a force at work on the Tallahas
see Southeastern railway, a line projected
from Tallahassee to Gainesville, on which
line considerable work was done a few
years ago.
The capitalists whom Mr. Bennett repre
sents, it is said, have bought the frnn
'•bisis of this road. The line has been
located about 10U miles, twenty miles gra
ded and seven miles of rails laid. The pro
jected line traverses most of tin* distance
a virgin forest of excellent timber and
t uns through some of the finest phosphate
deposits in Florida. Mr. Bennett's oi*r
ations seem to indicate that his company
intend to do something with their new
purchase. In the opinion of many, this
would be an important railroad line to
Florida, und ns profitable as any line in
the state.

Do You Use It?
It’s the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no ymn by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
Ayer’s Hair Vigor.

A prominent clergyman, here on a visit,
says: "I am In favor of the plan, both on
financial and moral grounds. Abuses have
undoubtedly crept into the convict system
ond I feel that they would be remedied
by this change. Ii is ftiso certain that ihe
better part of a convict's nature could be
more easily developed on a sea island than
in the many miserable places where they
now are scattered. Georgia would truly
be able to boast of one of the best man
aged and most humane convict systems
in the states.”
As to natural beauties Sapeio probably
takes second place to none of the sea is
lands. Hr majestic oak groves, splendid
lieach, etc., have been subjects of many
complimentary' remarks by northern vis
itors. The jffiand has belonged to the
Spalding family since about fifty years
ago. At present the principal owners are
Mrs. Nellie Spalding, estate of Mrs. Will
iam C. Wylly, Dr. Spalding Kenan and
Amos Sawyer.
JIT. III.AM' YIELDS ITS DEAD.
Hotly of ('apt. \rK?? right. Killed
Thirty Year* Ago. .Inst Found.
From the New York Herald.
London, Aug. 28. —Capt. Henry Ark
wright, who was aide-de-cafnp to ihe Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland; a guide named Mi
chel Simond and two porters, Francois
and Joseph Toumler, were killed by an
ava.anehe on the grand plateau of Mount
Blanc in October, 1866. The bodies of the
guide and porter were found after a week,
but Capt. Arkwright's body was only re
covered from the ice on Sunday last. 9,000
feet below where he died. All exce_pt the
feet and head were recovered. The right
hand was marvelously lifelike. The ice
had preserved in it the red tint of blood.
From the pocket of his gray waistcoat
was drawn a white blue-bordered hand
kerchief, as good as new, with his name
on it. The deceased officer’s collar had in
it a gold stud, and in his shirt front was a
larger one set with a diamond star. The
debris of a silver cigarette ease was in his
pocket, and his gold watch and chain were
on the ice near where the body was found.
The justice of the peace, the mayor, a
doctor an l the local gendarmes held an
inquest over the remains, found after a
lapse of more than thirty years, in the
shadow of Mount lilanc. They will prob
ably be buried at Chamounix.

up of December. Septemlier wheat closed
