The inhabitants of Key West, writes Chicago Recox'd correspondent, dis tingnish but two seasons—the dry and the rainy. There is so little variation in the tempei'ature, they say, that sum¬ mer and winter are divisions of the calendar rather than of climate. Key West is not only the most south¬ erly point of the United States, except some islets a few miles out into the gulf stream from here, but it is also the most isolated place of its size or anything approaching its population. There' are Western mining camps and Alaskan towns that get mail less fre fluently, but here is a city of nearly 20,000 inhabitants, with fine govern “lent buildings, great shipping inter ests. daily newspapers and manxtoia business affairs, the capital of a Flor¬ ida county, and with mail from the United States but twice a week. The people do not rest content under it. All very well it might be, they say, for an antipodean town, but not for one within tie limits of the United States. One result of the spasmodic mail ser¬ vice is that all business and much so¬ cial life is arranged in harmony with it. The mail steamer is scheduled to arrive at 3 p. m, every Tuesday and Friday, having sailed from Port Tampa at 10 the evening before. All Key West devotes its attention on steamer day to waiting for the mail, beginning that task soon after noon by scanning tie horizon for the first glimpse of the ex¬ pected craft. After the steamer is in, public inter¬ est centers at the postoffice, where crowds wait for the distribution of the heavy semi-weekly mails. That occu¬ pies the remainder of the afternoon. At night the vessel sails for Havana, re¬ turning from the Cuban capital the fol¬ lowing evening. Wednesday and Sat¬ urday are therefore steadily devoted to the answering of their mail by the citizens of the island, in order to be ready for the north-bound pouches, and on those days it is said to be virtually impossible to transact business on that account. The voyage of a night and a day from Tampa to Key West is a delightful one, if the weather be as pleasant as it usually is. Unless a norther is driv¬ ing, sea and sky are propitious when the traveler wakens, and the daylight ride is almost tropical. An-hour before the boat reaches the dock half a dozen of the little islands, tlie Florida Keys, are in sight, to play the part of "first land,’’ always interesting after how ever short a voyage. It is not difficult to imagine a whole m a de np -of first i mpressions- of the place, ail to be corrected or revised after further acqviaisxtance. The town is by no means obvious. Its stores are scattered all through the residence streets, so that there is virtually no business district. At the docks there gathers such a crowd of colored people to welcome the ship for the pi'ofit in handling cargo or guiding passengers that one might think the white popu¬ lation non-existent, And with local peculiarities of society and climate and race, altogether different from anything to be found elsewhere in tlje United States, it is not strange that the casual visitors fail to even scratch the sui'face of the interesting things to he found here. A question of nomenclature offers a peculiar illustration. In a little pamph¬ let descriptive of the island the author relates that it is named Key West be¬ cause it is the westernmost of the Flor¬ ida "keys,” or small islands. The map would have told him that this could not have been the reason, for the Marque¬ sas keys are twenty miles west of here, and the farthest of the Dry Tortugas three times that distance. But if he had looked at the date line of the Spanish daily paper published here, or any Spanish document or ma.p, or listened to any Cuban on the street, he would have found that the name for hun dreds of years has bees Cayo Hueso. "Bone Key,” and Key West is but a corruption. There are many vernaculars here— American English, Cuban English, Bah a man English, southern negro, Cu ban negro, Cuban Spanish and Key West Spanish. And one must know them all if he is to be really certain of what is said in any passing crowd. i Prefers Prison. a man went into a Pennaylvania | court recently with a suit against a railroad company for putting him off a train. He claimed that he took a seat i upon the platform because he had only j ) a short his distance while to to go ride and inside. it was The not worth conductor told him it was against the rules to ride outside upon a platform and he must either ride inside or be put off. He refused and was ejected from i the train. Then he brought suit. The company contended ft was his duty to prevent accidents and it was, therefore, Its duty to forbid passengers from rid ing on'the platforms. The Court held the rule to be a reasonable one and *us tained the company.—San Francisco Chronicle. the For net the earnings year ending of the 172,369 June 30, miles 1396, of I railways in the United States were *368.67*,047. — - W, ?V Izi E S mi £y fiSlL vr K H T 1 a A woman is never called heartless nnlU a be has been butt.
