/ THE WEEK IN JACKSONVILLE The Cases Grow Less Numerous, but Percentage of Deaths Gets Greater. Soccial to Advertiser-Appoal. Jacksonville, Oct. 8.—Ed win Mar tin, editor of the Times Union, was buried this morning. The Jackson ville Press Club; employes of the pa per, and Knights of Honor attended in a body. It was a sad and impres . sivc occasion, and few dry eyes were seen in the assembly. Up to noon no deaths to-day, but twenty new cases have developed.— Disease seems to grow more virulent as it decreases. George Deans is very low from jaundice. Jacksonville, Oct. 9, 2:35 p. m. , —No deaths up to noon, but thirty new cases are reported Most all of the sick are reported as doing well. The disease is getting more violent as it decreases, and greater death rate is feared. Tom Stockton was very ill at noon. Jacksonville, Oct. 10, 2:30 p. m. —T. T. Stockton, of the Times-Union, is doing well this forenoon. The ouly death reported to-day is Mrs. J. F. Smith, wife of the Bay street photographer, who died at mid night, tier husband was at Camp Perry taking photographs, and when he returns this noon she will have been laid to rest. Such are a few of the ■inexpressibly sad cases that come under your correspondent’s eye. Jacksonville, Oct. 11.—A carpen ter named Johnson, living on the out skirts of the city, died this morning, making the only death to noon.— twenty-four new cases were reported. The work of house to house inspec tion and branding of all articles to be destroyed will be begun to-morrow and vigorously pushed. Jacksonville, Oct. 10.—The ofll- cial bulletin for the twenty-four hours ending at six o’clock to-night read as followsr /sa Owenses.:...';.,™ .. r...,.. 63 Deaths 3 Total eases to date. 3,382 Total deaths 302 Sad Death. Mr. E. A. McWhorter, of St. Ma rys, reached the city Monday morn ing en route from Anniston, Ala., whither he had gone to see his young cst son, who was ill there of typhoid fever. At Atlanta he met and pass ed, without knowing it, the corpse of his dear boy in charge of his wife and older son, who had proceeded him several days to the bed-side of the sick boy. On reaching Anniston 31 r. McWhorter heard of the death of his son for the first time, and im mediately retraced his steps, reach ing here three o’clock Monday morn ing. He left on the Cracker Boy for Satilla Bluff, where he was met by his buggy. The others reached here last Sat urday and chartered the steamer In ca and carried the remains of the dead son back to his home. As Mr. McWhorter narrated the sad talc to us his big heart swelled with emotion and often choked his utterance. The young man had but a short time since left the paternal roof to enter business in this new field, but the summons came and the cord was snapped, leaving* naught but sorrow in its trn>‘ Sunday’s Services. Sunday was one of the finest, and church goers had an opportuni ty of turning out in force which they did at all the churches that were open. The writer was present at the PRESBYTERIAN CFIURCII And heard from the lips of its pastor one of the finest efforts of his pasto rate here. The speaker, Rev. Paul F. Brown, contrasted the earthly Ca naan with the Heavenly, showing that the pleasures of the former were but transitory, and unsatisfviug, and only pointed to the latter which was enduring as eternity itself and per fectly soul,’satisfying. Every mem ber of his congregation who failed to hear that discourse missed a good treat. THE METHODIST CHURCH. From a worshipper at the Metho dist church we are furnished the fol lowing: The sermon of Mr. McCook yester day morning was from 1 Cor. 15, 45: “Therefore my beloved brethen be ye steadfast,unmovable, always abound ing in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Mr. McCook showed the relation of his text to St. Paul’s magnfiiccntl discussion of the resurrection of the dead. Faith in that glorious doc trine and a proper understanding of it ought to result in an efficient, ear nest, practical service. The Apostle was guilty of no anti-climax of ex- presion or thought when by inspira tion he was guided to join this prac tical exhortation with his triumph ant thanksgiving for victory over death and the grave. The importance of religious stead fastness was urged, its difficulties briefly considered. The importance of christirn activity was urged. We are to abound in the work of the Lord. The Christian ought to be ag- gresive, the church ought to be an organization of earnest and aggres sive workers. There is need of such activity. The sermon was concluded by ref erence to the encouragement afforded by the assurance that tfc labor not in vain. We get in the developments of our own characters and the hap piness to which we are introduced a reward for the efforts we have put forth. God prospers our work nnd it accomplishes results we do not see. Harvests are yielded from seed of our planting that we know not of. There were no services at the Bap tist church, owing to the absence of the pastor. At the Episcopal church the usual services were held and well attended. Presidential Electors.

Nowadays when a man travels there is no reason, if he visits somo country that has not been exhausted, why ho should not bring back many solid and accurate facts of scientific value, oven though lie may lack extended training in science. Both tlio English and tho Germans have comprehensive hand books compiled by tho most uotablo authorities, giving tho traveler manifold hints how to make his wanderings useful to tho world. They show him in tho simplest possible manner tho methods of making routo maps, of ascertaining most easily and accurately tho width and velocity of rivers, tho height of mountains, latitudes, longitudes and so on. They point out tho facts ho needs to observe to give geologists tbo clearest idea of tho physical structure of a country. They show him how to make and preserve colI-?ctions in natural his tory, supply hints on surveying nnd pho tography, and tell him just what to do to make his observations valuable. If, in addition to those hints, lie desires preliminary instruction and practical field training, amplo provisions to meet ; his wants have been supplied by the | geographical societies in London, Paris and Berlin, where at moderate fcost (in London only two shillings and sixpence an hour) ho is drilled in surveying and mapping, geology, including field train ing, geological survey, botany, and pho tography. This is all tho preliminary framing that many of our most eminent explorers, including Stanley, have re ceived. Many ingenious devices nnd ex pedients have also lieen invented to facili tate the work of tho explorer, of which wo need only mention hero tho French color plates, each tint having its own number, by means of which tho traveler is able to give a far : : ire accurate idea of tho color of the people ho meets than lio could couur by any description. Tho invention of dry plates in photography also has been a great boon to explorers.— New York Sun. REWARD. One Thousand ($1,000) Dollars. Wo the uuilcrxigned offer one thousand dollars cash.

The Telegraph find '.icscnger has this to say of Mi. Calvin, of Rich mond county, who by the way is a brother of our Mr. Calvin, of New castle street: “Mr. Calvin of Richmond will be the only member in the next Georgia House of Representatives who has been in the Legislature continuously since 1882. His election for a fourth term is a just recognition of a faith ful and able service to his constitu ents and the State. Mr. Calvin has distinguished himself in every Legis lature of which he has been a mem ber. A New Departure. Sunday night at Methodist church the regular sermon of the pastor was substituted by lay addresses from Messrs. C. I. Stacy, of the Presbyte rian church, and W. D. Raich, Secre tary of the Y. M. C. A. The service was presided over by the pastor, who introduced each of the young speak ers with appropriate remarks, and followed each of them with practical suggestion and applications. Mr. Stacy’s address was on “The Power, the Glory and the Love of God.” He was earnest, nnd at times eloquent, as he hastily glanced at these great subjects. Mr. Balch urged the importance of Christian work, especially for young men, and on' the part of young men for young men. Mr. Balch’s relation to work for young men gave his earnest words special emphasis. The music consisted of n choir vol untary, hymns, and chorus songs, which were truly devotional, and en- jojoynble elements 01 the service.— The large congregation evidently en joyed the service. Sir. McCook nnnounced that simi lar services would be held once a month, on the Sunday night after the celebration of the Lord’s supper. A. A chancellor lias been chosen for the State University. It is to be hoped that the chancellorship ques tion is now finally settled. “Able to Suit Anybody.” The old reliable clothing man on the corner, Mr. Jas. S. Wright, makes the above announcement at the head of a new advertisement to-day, and proposes to prove it to any and all who may call. Wc stepped into his store a day or two since, nnd found him up his eyes in new goods, which arc constantly arriving, and be is ready for the trade of tho season.— This house has a reputation, for hon est goods, fair prices and good treat ment of customers. Dninswick Raised. Mr. Isaac Meyers sent us speci mens to-day of large, luscious banan as from his trees, of a single year’s growth. He has Several fine bunches now ripening. The S. F. A W. R. R. is still reach ing out its arms. The new line from Thomasvillc to Monticello has just been completed and business will now open up over that line. This has long been needed, Middle Flori da lias been cut off from Southwest Georgia about long enough. The distance from Thomasville to the Florida railroad is not more than 30 miles at farthest, and yet to get there by rail one has to travel all the way around by Chattahoochee Junction or else via Dupont and Live Oak. The War Continues. The E. T. V. & G. R. R. now con templates a line from Eastman to Savannah nnd putting on four steam ers to New York. This means war to the knife. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the protec tionist who once made $1,500,000 in a year, and who paid his employes 95 cents a day, has returned to this country from his castle in Scotland to talk about the benefits of protec tion. From the standpoint of the monopolists, Mr. Carnegie can give some convincing reasons against tar iff reform. Probably he will also get in a few words of praise of his mo nopolistic friend, James G. Blaine, who, through his proxy, Gen. Harri son, is the republican candidate for President this year. What a blessing it would be if the Chicago wheat pit could be demol ished and never constructed again! Reckless gambling in the food of a country is an unmitigated cnrsc. Such fellows as “Old Hutch” and his gang are a disgrace to civilization. Slaves nmt Railroads. As a whole nation wo are not greatly concerned to inquire into the prospects of African commerce. Wc are not liound to consider closely whether good or bad trade will be the outcome of tbo recent agreement between France, Germany, and Great Britain on tho affairs of Zan zibar, or what will bo the trade results of our own recent great acquisition of ex clusive infltienco in tho southern parts of tbo country. It must yet bo homo in mind that trade questions aro themselves intimately bound up with tbo rescuo of tbo African from his tyrants; seeing that commerce, os it is at present conducted in many parts of Eastern Central Africa, even that larger kind of commerco with which the white man eventually deals nt tlio sea coast emporiu, necessarily involves tbo employment of slaves os carriers. In roadless regions inhabited by people who are too priinitivo to breed cattle, and where belts of country infested by the tsetse fly have to bo crossed, nono but human beasts'of harden can bear tho products of industry. An elephant may bo killed a thousand miles from tho coast, and each tusk is tbo burden of a negro slave to tbo nearest seaport, whilo it will have taken three nr four negroes to carry tlio calico required to pay tbo elephant hunter in tbo interior. Slavery and slavo carriago is therefore at present a necessary incident of trndo in many parts of Africa. It is evident that if civilized modes of carriago aro onco es tablished in tbo Gorman and English “spheres of influence, ” slavo borno traffic will givo way to cheaper and moro speedy conveyance by road, by rail, or by navigable river.—Nineteenth Century.

Dr. Holmes relates tbo following to il lustrate tbo significance of small things in tlio sick room: “Will you have an orange or a fig?” said Dr. James Jack- son to a fiuo little boy now grown up to goodly stature. “A fig,” answered Mas ter Theodore, with alacrity. “No fever there,” said tho good doctor, “or ho would certainly have said an orange.” A Quaint Old Custom. “Taking tho cushion” is a quaint old Spanish court custom still practiced in Madrid. Tho ceremony creates noblo ladies “grandees of Spain," with tho right to sit in tho royal prcsenco by per mission of the king or queen, and recent ly Queen Christina solemnly followed tho prescribed form, in order to admit several young ladies about tho court to tbo higher rank. All the lady grandees of the court assembled in one of the state apart ments, each holding a large cushion. In- tho center of tho room were a large arm chair and a low stool. Queen Christina entered with her suite, took the arm chair and requested the la dies to sit down on their cushions. Then tho candidates for grandeeship were in troduced one by one. Each was accom- banied by a sponsor, and mado low re verences to tlio queen nnd to every gran- deo in turn. The queen next invited the candidate to sit on tho stool at her feet— arranged as more convenient than a cush ion—spoke a few words and allowed tho lady to kiss her band, beforo rising to givo her placo to tho next new comer. Tile new grandee than retired and sat down ujion a cushion within the charmed cbclo of the ladies.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Tho Scn.fblo Aro Sociable. I liave often wondered what it was that made men affable, and why there should exist so many degrees of sociabil ity. After pondering over this question, I liave concluded that whilo intellect cuts a L.-gu figure in making a man af fable, often tho main reason may be found in self interest. A boor always shows that ho is deficient in common sense, and gains absolutely nothing by bis rudeness but the dislike of his fellows.
