Augusta Chronicle: As the street cars
v iv run out cf the shed yesterday morn
irg the following sign was posted con
fjicuously, both inside and outside of
every car sent out: ‘Two rear seats re
served exclusively for colored people. No
. c m king allowed.” As the cars came down
Br rid street ihe signs were noticed by
pelfst"!ars ani commented upon. As the
cay were on the truffle was about the same
a> usual among the white people of the

groes did not take to the cars as is usual
on Sunday. On about every fourth car
passing one or two could be seen on ouo
of the rear seats, but at no time were
t e leserved stats filled; in fact only one
car was seen on which one of the seals
was filled.
Waycross Herald: There are many
evidences that the Indians were once
quite numerous in Ware county and that
they had settlements, perhaps viliages in
the near vicinity of Waycross. There are
several points near the river east of the
city, where numerous relics can be found.
There are arrowheads In abundance, por
ticne, of pipes, pieces of pottery, tools
for dressing deer skins, etc., etc. It Is
Quite probable that many years ago this
section was a veritable paradise for game
of all sorts. The near vicinity of the
Okofinokee swamp doubtless added great
ly to the advantages for the protection of
wil l animajp. Fish were here in abund
erve, and taken altogether, this must
have been a glorious place for the red
m n before the pale face came and drove
him away.
A dozen or more canning enterprises lo
ca ed in appropriate sections of the state
should pay investors well this year, as
fr. m present indications the peach crop
•L going to be much larger ‘than usual,
an 1 there is a strong probability of the
supply being far beyond the demand. Mr.
J*- Copeland, who is regarded as au
thority upon the subject of canning fac
tories, and who seems to be well inform
’d with all of the details in connection
With an enterprise of this character, says
that a plant with a capacity to put out
z to 500,000 three-pound cans can be
Constructed for from SIOO to S6OO, and that
any one starting an enterprise of this
Character should calculate on canning not
j s 100.000 cans in a season. First
class fruit only should be used and at
tractive labels placed on the cans so as
ma^e them sell and in the end estab
lish a reputation for the fruit that will
Hisure its ready sale in the future. He
also says that the factory should he run
o its fullest limit night and day so as to
u*ke every advantage of the short season
wn, a fruit is plentiful. Besides fruit,
H Pse factories could put up large q\ianti
ues of vegetables, and with one long sea
on, should be at an advantage over the
seasons prevailing in the North

Year by year bis practice has extended,
both in number of patients and in the ter

territory in the Union, in Mexico and In
Canada.
During the year just passed. Dr. Hath
away treated in his office and by corres
pondence nearly twice as many patients
as in any previous year, and it is safe to
say that he has treated and cured more
patients than any ten other specialists in
the country combined.
While it is true that his record of cur- s
is as great among those whom he has
treated entirely by correspondence as
among those who have called at his office,
still it is a great personal gratification o
him to see a patient change from a weak,
dispirited wreck of humanity to a strong,
robust man or woman, and this Is one rea

patients, whenever it is possible for them
to do so, call at his office.

out over the Florida Central and Penin

train. This is an indication that there
is a great crop of stuff in the Manatee
section yet, notwithstanding the report
that so much of the crop had been de
stroyed by rains.
Mrs. Kate Weeks of Pensacola has lost
her reason through grieving at
the long absence of her hus
ban, who has been in Cuba
for some time. Sunday she became vio
lent, and, with her little girl, wan confined
in a cell at the county jail. At 3 o’clock
Monday morning she became a raving
maniac and tried to murder her baby, but
the child was rescued by the jailer.
Fire broke out Saturday' night about 10
o’clock in the moss factory of J. M. Hen
ry at Monticello and entirely consumed it
before the hose company could reach the
scene. A warehouse belonging to C. T.
Carroll, which stood just across the
street, was also ignited, and although it
was put out when water was at last pro
cured, it is a total loss. The origin of the
fire was undoubtedly' Indendiary.
It seems as if the people*of the West
Coast, in Hillsboro county, have settled
on Hon. J. K. Cheyney of Tarpon Springs
as their choice for the House of Repre
sentatives. Mr. Cheyney in the largest
sponge dealer in that section, and oier
ates a large fleet of sponging vessels
from Tarpon Springs. He has had a
deal to do with the development
of that section of the county, being a
man of progressive ideas and means to
carry them out.
Julian Robinson died at Ocala Sunday
from paralysis. In looking back over the
terrible and sad tragedy that was enacted
by him several weeks ago, resulting in the
death of one man and the serious wound
ing of two others, with the probable death
of one other, Dr. S. H. Blitch. it is ap
parent Robinson was not of sound mind
when he committed tho terrible deeds. De
ceased had been a good citizen, foremost
in every good work in his community, and
il is with feelings of deepest regret that
a life which had been such a useful one
should go out under so heavy a shadow’.
His remains were taken to St. John’s
Church, Cotton Plant precinct, for inter
ment.
Deputy Sheriff Charles M. Hand arrest
ed R. C. Holliday' at Sanford on Saturday
on the serious charge of criminal assault
on a little girl nine years old. Holliday
is 43 years of age, five feet seven inches
tall, light complexion, blue eyes, heavy
mustache, weighs 140 pounds. He claims
to cbme from North Carolina, an<? says he
is an escaped convict, and that he has
been an inmare of an insane asylum sev
eral times. The prisoner is evidently not
entirely right In his mind, and it is be
lieved an important arrest has been made.
Sheriff Hand kept a strong guard at the
jail Saturday night. The preliminary trial
was held before Justice D. B. Manly, who
bound the prisoner over for trial at the
Criminal Court at Orlando. Hollidnv was
taken to the county jail at Orlando.
The trouble between the cigarmakors,
w’hich has caused a strike at the factories
of the Havana-American Company, at
Tampa, has taken anew turn. Th© mem
bers of the Liga, which is called the Cuban
League, have made a demand, In addition
to others, that Jose Arango, local man
ager, be dismissed. They' declare that
they will not return to work In either of
the factories until he is removed from
the position of local manager, and say
that they are financially prepared to make
a long and determined fight against sur
rendering on this point. Mr. Arango was
for years the resident manager of Seiden
berg & Co.’s factory in Tampa, of w’hich
he was the principal owner, and always
seemed to get along well with the people
employed. The matter now rests there
and seems destined to stay for a while.
Notwithstanding the labor troubles which
have beset some of the factories here,
the shipment of cigars last week was up
to the average, and still remained ahead
of the shipments for the corresponding
week last year.

the foreign representatives at Peking and
two other ladles were, on March 8, re
ceived in special audience by the bjmpress
Dowager and the Emperor—the second oc
casion of the kind. From the entrance
gate of the palace grounds they were car
ried In Imperial sedan chairs over the Mar
ble bridge; rho rest of the way to the re
ception hall they traveled In a train
drawn at a fairly rapid pace by palace
eunuchs. In the reception hall the Dow
ager Empress, a benevolent-looking old
lady of 64, and not at all the relentless
virago she Is commonly depicted, was seat
ed on a raised dais, and on a slightly low
er seal sat the Emperor, who looked more
cheerful than usual, but was evidently in
very feeble health. After the formal re
ception the ladies were conducted Into an
adjoining room, where tea and refresh
ments were served, and soon after the
Imperial pair came In and mingled uncer
emoniously with their guests, saying a few
words to each and shaking hands. Every
time the Dowager Empress made a re
mark her Chinese Interpreters fell pros
trate on the ground. Young Prince
Puc'hun, a well-grown, strong and healthy
looking boy of 14, who has been recently
selected as successor to the throne In de
fault of a direct heir, was brought for
ward and introduced to the ladies, whom
he saluted by suddenly throwing out his
hand at right angles on a line with his
face, probably his Idea of shaking hands.
The Dowager Empress presented each
lady with a pearl ring and some hand
some brocades, and each of the Chinese
secretaries received four rolls of silk.

COTTON miltlSS.
New York, May 22.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of 106
points, cables being weaker than looked
for; but pretty brisk buying set In on
less uniformly favorably crop advices.
Prices moved up 7011 points on the low
est figures, with shorts the best buyers,
although Investment demand was some
thing of a feature. Still later the market
became easier again as the general spec
ulative demand was not satisfactory and
a reconsideration of crop news as a
whole led to renewed bear confidence on
the part of some of the principal trad
ers who have been operating success
fully on the short side of the account on
the late break of 50060 points.
The weekly weather report was con
sidered bullish, yet the Southerners were
pretty steady sellers. Accounts from the
dry goods market were ryot calculated to
encourage the purchase of cotton, which,
in the open market, was belng'more free
ly offered with thp result of a further
decline of l-16c in the price In New York,
while the spot markets of the South
were also In unsatisfactory shape for the
want of buyers.
The market closed quiet, with price* net
3 points higher to 3 lower.

New York, May 22.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say; Our Liverpool advices state
that the decline there to-day was more
largely due to the absence at Manches
ter of any demand from India. A reac
tion after yesterday's sharp decline was
in order and come here after the open
ing. New crop positions were especially
firm, holding the entire advance, while
August slowly drifted back. Europe was
the buyer of these distant deliveries bas
t'd upon heavy showers In Texas during
the past twenty-four hours. After the
experience of last season every one is
watching the crop outlook •with intense
Interest, The general disposition among
the trade Is to buy these distant deliv
eries on every weak market on the Idea
that any unfavorable advices would cause
a sharp reaction. A better foreign mar
ket Is expected to-morrow, especially as
Thursday is a holiday In England.

New York, May 22.—Sugar certificates
occupied the attention of the Stock Ex
change to-day to the praetlcal exclusion
of other considerations. The apathy and
lassitude of the market seemed to spur
the professional trad< rs to a search for
some medium of operation and they gave
themselves up to a speculative revel In
Sugar. The movement of the stock was
highly characteristic. That Is to say, the
fluctuations were frequent, violent and
erratic and there was no news to account
for them beyond the airiest and most un
substantial rumors. Also, it was evident
that the enormous business being done
would necessitate very little clerical la
bor on the transfer books of the com
pany.
Probably the large majority of the con
tracts made, either for sale or for pur
chase were, closed out before the end of
the day, the profit or loss being accepted
by the trader. The stock extreme range
was 7% points and the net gain was 4%
points. In the opening dealings the price
went down. In continuation of yesterday's
depression. After declining 1% the ad
vance began, and It had not proceeded far
before the shorts began to manifest dis
tress and rushed to cover pushing the
price up to the maximum. The squeeze
was not relaxed until the demand from
the shorts was pretty well satisfied. Tho
price then began to fall back on light
transactions and without any evidence of
support. The bears became weary after
their punishment and refrained from ag
gressive selling, in spite of the, announce
ments made on official authority just be
fore the close that the sugar trade war
had not been settled and was not likely
to be.
Tho leading Industrials showed sympa
thy with Sugar, especially American To
bacco, which Is nearest kin to It in specu
lative character. The latter stock showed
better resistance to reaction than other
specialties which generally lost pretty
much all their gains.
The general list continued In a slough
of despond and moved either way with
great difficulty. Opening prices were low
er in sympathy with London and there
was a midday rally when Sugar shot up
wurd and Chicago and Northwestern was
marked up 5%. The latter movement was
without explanation, beyond the large in
crease In earnings for April, which was
reported yesterday. Northern Pacific was
comparatively firm cn a good statement
for the second we> k In May. Baltimore
and Ohio was well supported on small
dealings. For the rest, the trading was
listless and Indifferent, with no evidence
of outside Interests. The speculative apa
thy and depression were common to all
tho great securities markets of the world,
and even the speculative markets for
foodstuffs and commodities showed a de
clining tendency.
