Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen:
The article in Monday’s issue of the
Times-I n I*4l and Citizen, about the for
mation of a branch of the Animal Protec
tive League has borne good fruit, and now’
instead of two or three interested ladies
there are dozens of noble women who are
anxious to nee their children educated to
be kind and gentle to animals, and who
will assist in the formation of a league
'in Jacksonville, so soon as the matter
shall have be; n taken in hand and a be
ginning made. ,

ble, an e-laljorate exhibit of phosphate
from the state and have it forwarded at
once in order that it may be properly

extensive in the world, and we trust that
some of the enterprising gentlemen con
nected with these will consult with Col.
Brady at once.
The annual fair of the Dade County Ag
ricultural and Horticultural Association
will be held at Miami March 1, 2 and 3.

display of fruits and vegetables ever
brought together at a midwinter fair. The
display of lemons, oranges and grape
fruit will be much larger than at pre
vious exhibitions. A large number of
citrus trees base come into bearing dur
ing the past year, and their tlrst fruit
will be on exhibition.
The revenue business in Tampa for the
month of January was the largest since
the office was opened, there. li was a
record-breaker with a vengeance. The
safes ran up to $19,324 for that month.
Tuesday was also a record breaking day
in the oflh'e of the collector of revenue.
The sales for the day amounted to $4,648,
which is more than ever sold before in
one day. Of course the principal amount
of these sale* is for cigar 9jami>s, and
this official record shows that the claims
made for the healthy condition of the
cigar business have been by no means ex
aggera Led.
The Duval county jail contains over
seventy prisoners, a majority of whom
are awaiting trial. The two cases of small
pox which developed there a few days
ago were promptly taken to the Sand
Hills Hospital, and the jail thorough’y
fumigated. The disease, however, has
caused alarm among the prisoners, and
the officials are now waiting to see if
there will be any more cases. State's At
torney Hartridge said that on account of
the disease, he did not desire to prosecute
the Hewett next week for the
murder of their brother-in-law. J. T.
Johnson, in Bradford county, aieariy two
years ago. That, as well as other trials,
will be deferred.
Immigration Agent Julius Otto has held
several of the alien passengers that ar
rived at Key West last week on the Brit
ish schooner Hattie Darling, from Havana,
and says the captain of the vessel will
have tq take them back. He says that
there were several plain infringements of
the contract labor law. and the agent lec
tured those who were responsible for them
pretty severely. The captain was al>
fined *3l. If the law had been enforced for
the past ten years as strictly as it is now.
there are quite a number of undesirab’e
residents that would not be in Key West
at present. It is a well-known fact that
natives of the Bahamas have been going
there and keeping citizens or that place
out of employment on the sponging ves
sels.
A call lias been Issued from Orlando for
a state good roods convention. The peo
ple of Florida no longer doubt the import
ance of good roads, but it is now a ques
tion of plans and cost of construction.
Some of ihe counties of the state ure build
ing permanent highways, and have gained
valuable experience touching the problems
that confront road -construction in Flor
ida, and full reports from such counties
will be presented to the meeting. The de
partment of good roads at Washington,
D. C., has been requested to send its rep- •
presentative. and also expert road builders
and manufacturers of road machinery are
expected to attend. The convention has
been called without any special authority,
save that delegated by the lmi>ortancc of
the question of public roads to the people
of the state and those who have property
within her borders.
Tampa Herald: It is agreed without dis
sent that the general course of litigation
in Florida is so hindered by the lack of
sufficient court facilities that justice Is
too often obstructed rather than further
ed by an appeal to the tribunals thereof.
Something ought to be done about it. We
have no more courts and supreme Judges
than win n there was only half the popu
lation. one-fourth the property and one
sixth the litigation. Our constitution is so
worded that te if can only come through
its amendment. Tills means that the Leg
islature must devise methods, those meth
ods must lie submitted to the people In
the shape of an amendment, and undet
the most favorable circumstances and
rapid progress it must be three years be
fore any remedy can apply. It is, there
fore, none too soon to begin the dlseus-v
sion of vvbtii should bo dono and how.

Lizzie .Jenkin* Ham Many Trouble**
on 111 m Account.
Bell Hardwick, a colored woman who
has been wanted for some time by one of
the county magistrates on a charge of as
sault and battery preferred by Llzz e
Jenkins, was captured yesterday by Offi
cer Artingstall of Magistrate Jones' cour
Th*- assault for which the woman will
appear before the City Court occurred sev
eral weeks ago and was the result of a
row that she and trfe Jenkins woman had
over the affections of the latter’s husband.
In a previous attempt to make the arrest
the officer was induced to remain on th-*
stoop of Bell's residence while she went in
aid* ostensibly for the purpose of getting
her pocket book. After a lengthy wait it
Struck the officer that the search took an
unusually long time and he went into the
house to investigate, only to find that
while he h id been waiting the woman ha 1
got over the back fence and put herse f
beyond his reach for the *ime being.
Yesterday she tried another trick, that
of telling the constable that she was sick
and unable to go wkh him. He had learnel
wisdom from his former experiences, how
ever, and flatly refused to accept any ex
cuses.
The other party to the quarrel, the
Jenkins woman, has either an exception
ally attractive husband, or an attack of
jealousy that amounts to a monomania,
for within the last few weeks she ha*
had no less than five fights or> this account
and is now serving time in the barracks
lor an assault that she made on a rival.
CaONJE’S GALL AM’ ESC APE.
A Startling Story of the South Afri
ca n War.
The Associated Press operator for the
Morning News has taken many queer
messages from the seat of war in South
Africa during the last six months, and he
is now so innured to them that it takes
something very startling to perturb him
in the least. With one foot thrown over
his desk and a cigar stuck in his mouth,
he transfers the tickings of the instru
ment to pai>er by means of .his typewriter
for the scrutiny of the telegraph editor.
Receiving important news from the world
over has become mechanical to him. and
familiarity has robbed the thing of the
Interest it would have for many who so
eagerly read the news every morning.
The operator has to eat, however, like
other people, and while he was out on
that m ssion last night a roman er stro 1-
ed up to his machine and ground out the
following startling bulletin from South
Africa, which met the astonished gaze
of the operator when he tur/ied up, and
started to take more news from the wire:
‘London, March I.—A bulletin from
Modder river, dated Feb. 28. says that
Gen. Cronje and all of his men escaped,
and have not been recaptured. Cronje
threw tobacco in the eyes of
Gen. Prettyman, and while that officer
was -temporarily blinded, the gallant
i Boers dashed off across Splcn kop on saw
horses. When jast seen they were burn
ing the wind in the direction of Guy
ton.”

vigor, usefulness and happiness than any
ten other doctors in the country combined.
Dr. Hathaway treats and cures by a
method entirely his own, discovered and
perfected by himself and used exclusively
by him. Loss of Vitality, Varicocele,

vitality and makes the patient a strong,
well, vigorous man.
Dr. Hatha way’s success in the treatment
of Varicocele and Stricture without ttie
aid of knife or cautery is phenomenal.
The patient is treated by this method at
his own home without pain or loss of time
from business. Thi * u positively the only

Home Treatment Is so perfected that he
can bring about a cure as surely and
speedily ns though the patient called daily

WAYCROSS MOWS NOTES.
Two Snw Mills to He Moved—Work of
the Itufkinlte*.
Waycross, Ga., March I.—lt Is quite
provable that the big sawmill at Elsie
will be moved to the old Coleman & Will
iamson turpentine place, nine miles west
of Elsie, which has recently been bought
by Messrs. J. R. and T. Bums, owners
of the Elsie property. They have erected
a number of house* on the place for their
hands. They will have fifty crops of
boxes this year. About seventy-five men
are at work now boxing and weeding.
The Thigpen sawmill will move in a
days three miles west of iis piemen* site.
Its tram road is being extended farther
in toward the swamp. The shipping pome
iof this mill is Needham. It is located
nine miles from here.
Mr. N. B. Ham. a farmer living a few
miles south of Way cross, was twice a
prisoner of war in the hand* of the
United States forces during the war be
tween the states. He was one of
men who surrendered at the capitula in
of Vicksburg, Miss., and was given a pa
role on July 15, 1868. On May 11, 1865, he
took the oath of allegiance ami was agiin
given a parole. He has these papers care
fully preserved.
Over 2,009 pounds of cereal coffee, which
is manufactured by the Ruskin Common
wealth, at Ruskin, in this county, w'as
shipped out last week. They expect to
ship double that quantity in a short tim*.
The Satilla river is getting almost too
full for raftsmen to sue essiully carry
their timber down to the mills below here.
A Ware county farm* r has on hand
seven bales of sea island cotton, which
he had been holding for better pri es.' He
is holding it for 20 cents. When it
reaches that point he will be ready to let
it go.
One thousand broom handles have just
been received at Ruskin, and the colo
nists are hard at work miking broom**.
They are desirous of buying b.oom co.n.
They also desire a broom maker as a
comrade.
SPELLING IIEE AT EATONTON.
tfodgre Lavisou anil School Commis
sioner Dennis Hail to Sit Down.
Eatonton. Ga., March I.—An old fash
ioned spelling bee attracted a large crowd
to the Opera’ House last nigfit. The par
ticipants were restricted to the old, wise
and prudent of the town. The affair wa*
very enjoyable and furnished an hour of
rare amusement for the large crowd. Ex
Consrcssman Lawson took his seat by
misspelling ‘‘ethereallze;” Clerk of the
Court Adams and School Commissioner
Dennis found “ichthyology” too much for
them; Capt. I. H. Adams succumbed to
“extraneous,” and Sheriff Terrell gave up
the ghost at “artful.” The affair was ai
rangod and given for benefit of the La
dies’ Society of the Methodist Church.
Eatonton has been given the last va
cancy in the state militia, and the boys
are rejoicing in consequence. The Put
nam Rifles will be organized and will
doubtless take its old place as one of the
best drilled companies in the state.
