Tampa Politicians in Donht. Mayor F. L. Wing of Tampa, is now known aa the sphinx of the city. Since his induction into office he has been de luged with applications for political pre-% ferment, and delegations, individually and collectively, have waited on him. Pleas end demands have been made upon him for office, but there has been but little result, so far os can be seen. Mr. Wing is closely keeping his own counsel and selecting very nearly ail his own appoint ments and the result is that the slate makers are almost in the dark. Tampa's Sognr Refinery. J. L. Alnutt has gone to New York to complete the organization of the syndi cate which will build a great sugar re finery in Tampa. Mr. Alnutt is sanguine that he will have the refinery in opera tion within a year, and he seems to have ample funds assured to carry out all of his plans. He will return to Tampa in two weeks, and expects to begin the act ual work of construction this summer. This matter of the culture of sugar cane j and the production of refined sugar, in j Florida is attracting widespread Interest j at present, and it is probable mat there will be tremendous development along this line in the near future. Victory for striker*. cigar makers’ strike in Tampa has been partially settled, and many of the men have returned to work. The Times says that the conditions upon which they start is a complete victory for Ha Resis tencia, the manufacturers having agreed to clean out everybody from the packing department and allow the society to put in whoever they choose to fill the vacan cies. which of course means that no Cu bans will be allowed. Mr. Ramirez has been discharged from the Manrara fac tory. where he has been manager of the packing department for years, and in fu ture the department will be in charge of Eugenio Valdes. This is the most import ant change In the whole situation. The Spanish packers have been trying for several years to obtain control of ihe packing department of this factory, but heretofore both Spaniards and Cubans have been allowed to work there. STRANGE NEGRO WORTHIES. Two Unman oddities That Interest North Carolina 1 nderg rod ua tea. From the New York Times. Chapel Hill, N. C.. June 2.—Since the State University reoppened here after the Civil War there have been two old dark ies in the village whose names and repu tations are heralded all over the state by the students who pass in and out year after year. One cf them is an aged negro, known as Benny Booth, who formerly made the greater part of his living by letting the boys break boards over hts head; the o ther Is the barber who caters to the college’s trade. He calls himself "Prof Thomas Dunstan, the Tonsorlal artist.” Although Benny acquired his greatest fame less than thirty years ago, he was by no mrans an inconspicuous figure in the ante-bellum days, and it is with great pride that he tells how President James K. Polk used to employ him as a valet during that statesman's college oareer. "Sho,’ I knowed Mars Folk," he will tell you. “'Befo' de wah—in fac’, long befo' dat time—Old Benny shined hts bools. Onct, to be sho. Mars Polk gived and sole nigger a quarter tuh see ef he cud hurt de top ob his head wid a plank. But he cudn't do It.” And then the old negro chuckles to him self. for, whether the tale be true or not, he has come to believe It from telling it so often Until three or four years ago he would allow any .one to test the tough ness of his skull with a rock or stick for a few small coins, and on one occasion he ran head first into a brick wall for a purse of half a dollar that had bem col lected by a group of students. Finally, however, he was obliged to acknowledge that such diversions brought on headache, and at the age cf eighty and more years he formally forswore any further display of his prowess In the line of skull tests. Ontllvcd the Pnrohaser. About twenty-five years ago a physi cian in the village, thinking Benny was nearly old en ugh to pass away, pro posed to the o and man that he sell him his head for dissection af er death. Benny < agreed joyfully and received *25 in ad vance payment. The doctor waited in vain for his newly acquired property to come into his possession, but the recipient of ■he money, after spending all cf it, re fused to pass away. At last the pur-hasar h mself died, and ever since then Benny has been vainly trying to sell his head for a s* cor.d time. Some people say the old fellow is now more than a century old He declares tha* he is at least that, but says he doesn't know exactly when he arrived on earth. As far as 1 oks go, he might be a relic of the eighteenth century, or even of mere ancient days. Clothes he is averse to, and the village authorities are obliged, once in a while to take some radical action to prevent his appearing in public In a single garment. The old man lives by begging, or occa sionally by chopping kindling wood for 25 cents a day. and at rare intervals he wanders up into the campus and there en tertains with his weird anecdotes an au dience of students, who reward him lib erally. Taken all in all, his yearly earn ings may reach this sum of *lO, and even that is superfluous, for people of the vil lage let him sleep in outhouses In thei? hack yards and give him food whenever he asks for it The other village celebrity, Tom Duns tan, is a strong contrast to Benny. Hav ing been the only barber here for many years, he has accumulated such worldly poss salons that the pe ple of his race re gard him as a second Croesus, and hts peron Is always clad In clothing of the most approved pattern, offset by rings and pins and other nondescript Jewelry. With other negroes he has little inter course. disdaining to associate with any one who is not what he calls ' a gentle man of llte ary proficiency, and a white one at that! Big words are Tom's weakness. If any one asks him how it nappens that he has risen to such hlghts of wealth atvd culture, he replies: "Well, sir, It came lo pass that a great man was needed In the land, so the Lord mad' Prof. Dunstan, who is, sir, an am phibious phenomenon and a hypographl cal statesman.” The Professor's Vocabulary. The professor never hears a bombas 1 phraso or a high-sounding term that h dees not nnv'mber it; and at the earliest opportunity he makes use of it. always in the wrong place. Of his powers of con versation he is Inordinately boastful, and he often, while administering to a cus omer rne ■ f hts torture-like shaves, whispers lonfld.ntlally In the victim’s tars: "The niggers around here are scared of Prof. Lnns an for he floors 'em all with the penetration of hts phraseology, and whn he opens his lips he designates like the vast writers of antiquity." He always speaks of himself in the third person, emphasising Ihe title "Pro fessor" with marked effect. In front of his shop, which Is a little wooden house cf one floor, hangs a gorgeously tinted sign, on which it is set forth that any one entering the place will become the recipient of the most approved appliances of the tonsorlal art.

Dr. Hathaway Tells Why He Treats Chronic Diseases So Saccess fully—He Has a Word to Say About Those Who Cline: to Old-Tlitie, Worth less Methods. I am often asked why it is that I cure a greater proportion of cases than do oth er physicians. I will endeavor to answer this question - In this public msnner through Mti - the newspaper lft.sGjt, lor the benefit tE'nup? ’P** 4 0 f the general h public, but also toy b:o;her phy- Ficians may # know what is necessary to be c done in order .'that they may ’■ y ® be successful. ’ As to the rea- J.Newton HathawayM. D,aon for my suc i cess: I have made it a rule, since ! the time when I entered college, lo make a study of one class of diseases at a time and to perfect a treatment for that class before I took up another; and be sides this I have limited my practice ex clusMvely to chronic diseases. But there are certain diseases which can not be successfully treated by them selves alone; the diseased condition of one organ or part of the body will surely in time communicate itself to some other or gan or portion of the body. Hence, the specialist who Is best able to treat dis eases of a chronic nature is he who ts fa miliar with the uis<=ased conditions which are liable to become seated in ail parts of the body. It is not sufficient to alone treat the manifestation of the disease; it is neces sary to go deeper and be able to cure the underlying cause. • Chronic DUeuaeM Specially. Having confined my specialty to chronic diseases, which act and react on each oth er, and having had the privilege of seeing and treating and curing all the different forms and stages of these if I am to be accredited with even common natural ability, I ought to-day to be suc cessful beyond those whose opportunities have been so much less. I doubt if any other physician in the world has treated so many case*, along my special lines, ol 1 have. I have been treating these diseases continuously for 20 years, day In and day out. I make r.o boast of this; I simply state a fact that none can dispute. Constantly Learning;. Another thing which I have done: I have tried to learn something new every day about the diseases which I treat and about remedies which would best reach and cure these diseases. I am sorry to say that most doctors make up their minds when they graduate from a medical col lege that they know all that can be known about medicine, and they go on in this way until the end, with a longer record of failures than of cures. New nml exclusive Methods. Many things about disease and its treat ment which I learned In the colleges from which I graduated have been of very great help to me in my practice since, but every method of tre-atment which I use to-day tor the different diseases which I treat, and every combination of remedies, is of my own discovery. I long ago threw old methods aside; I long ago discovered that ever ycase must be specially studied and specially treated. This, briefly, has been the chief cause of my success and is the reason why to-day I can so confidently promise cures to my patients. J. NEWTON HATHAWAY, M. D. Di. Hathaway & Cos., 2oA Bryan street.

"Zoology teaches us that the hairs ,of the h ad ara hollow." this advertis meat begins, and then it continues: “They are likewise numbered.” After this there follows an announcement that Ptoaf. T. Dunstan. for twenty years guardian of the beards and hair of the college youth, has invented a mysterious process by which the hollows of the hair are closed up and baldness is forever forestalled. It Is further announced that the preLss or guarantees the efficacy of his treat ment and will refund the cost (2> cents) if it has not be n proved of genuine merit after a trial of a quarter of a century. Mr. Dunstan's sayings are quoted far and wide, but none of them has become more famous than the spech he once made to a student who was abusing him for an alleged breach of contract. The siudent had asked T m to order a shav ing mug for him, there being no store in 'ihS vi'lage that could supply such ar t cles. The pro r e sor premised to get the mug. but repeated urging by the would b purchaser failed to make him fulfil the promise. Final'y the student walked into the shop cne day and tygan to load its proprietor with abuse, intimating that he was untruthful and generally untrust worthy. Tom listened in silence until his visitor had ceased talking for lack of breath, and then, after h avlng a sigh, h’ chard hi* throat noisily and delivered himself thus: "Mr. F . as Moses said unto Euri pides much learning hath made thee mad.” OLD RAGPICKER STOLE TOYS. Y’ielded to Impulse of Ills Second Childhood and Then Confessed His Guilt. Fiom the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Asa ragpicker, James Higginson, a homeless old man, was reasonably success ful. Asa thief he proved a most lament able failure. Higginson made his debut in the stealing business Monday, when he drifted into F. A. Fahlbuzch’s notion store, at 114 West Fifth stree. The old man eyed the pile upon pile of toys wistfully, while memories of boyhood days chased each other through his befuddled brain. He remembered how he had played with companions In those golden days when care was an unknown quantity, sorrow a stranger, and the horizon of life limited by the rising and setting of each day’s sun. The desolate waste that spanned the period between those days and lhe present, the useless life that left him old, wretched and alone, of no worth to the world or himself, was forgotten and the first and second childhood merged for the moment Picking up two toy pianos and a 'small locomotive and train of cats, Higginson tottered out. as unnoticed as when he en tered the place. To his wretched quarters at Lodge and Gano alleys he hurried with the stolen toys, only to realize, when he found himself secure from observation, that he had been dreaming. The day for toys had passed long since for him. and iheir presence only recalled memories that now seemed to him a mockery. That night and the next day they re mained in his room, until finally he could bear it no longer. Whichever way' he turned, the toys confronted him The keys on the pianos Jangled out the discord of his life, the train of cars suggested a means to end it all. in the tenement were no hoys to whom the toys could have been given; he feared to sell them, and dreaded returning them to the owner—for that meant arrest. At last remorse conquered fear and yesterday Higginson again tot tered into the store nnd told his story. Fahlbusch knew nothing of the theft, but when Higginson finished his tale a >n v . man*w:.s idled and in n few minutes the bars of a cell at Central Station confined i him.

The Past Wrek Remarkable for the Variability and Uncertainty of the Market and Its Kaleidoscopic Changes—Conditions Believed to Warrant Even Better Prices—The Position of the Rosin Market Is Very Strong—Lumber Outlook Dull and Unsatisfactory—Sail Tonnage Rates Inusuully Low—Some Ad vances in Food Prodnets During the Week. Morning News Office, June 15.—The week just cloec-d has been one of the most rS iriarkabro-'in many respects, In the expe rience of dealers In the naval stores mar ket, in a number of years. The kaleido scopic phases displayed by the market In the course of one week, excelled any thing In the memory of some of tlje old est dealers. Throughout the whole week the spirits market was variable and uncertain, fre quently dull and weak and tending to a decline, but occasionally strong and firm and often so uncertain that no one felt like making a prediction. The market not only displayed all of these phases during the week, but on one day, at least, displayed them all In one day. beginning weak and declining, then becoming firm, and rising and easing off at the close ot the day by becoming weak and uncer tain. Although the week closes with quota, tione of 43% cents for spirits, there is a satisfactory feeling among the factors that the decline has about reached the limit, and that hereafter the market may be expected to remain nearly stationary with variations of not more than one-halt to three-quarters of a cent either way. Tlie buyers themselves, realize that this is about the situation, and display a dis position to make purchases in larger quan tities. With the amount of spirits, which has been applied to contracts, decreasing the available supply for the buyers, some of the more sanguine among the factors, predict that prices will again be above 44 cents during the coming week, and that an attempt on the part of any one buyer, to obtain a large amount of spirits, would promptly send the market to 45 cents again. The drop to 43% cents, which oc curred during the week, was not antici pated by the factors many days previous ly, as it is w6ll known that offers for September contracts at 45 cents In consid erable quantities, )had been refused not long before. V... The statistical position Is considered strong. The receipts are less than for the same time during the. previous year with every indication of maintaining the pres ent ratio throughout the season, while the exports are slightly in excess of the pre vious year. Reports from the operators are to the effect that while the labor situa tion is somewhat settled they regard the coming month with apprehension. High wages and the general demand for labor have mode the negro hands independent, and they are disposed to insist on shorter hours and less work. The outlook is that the watermelon crop will be large. WitM melons- plentiful and cheap and the natu ral disposition of the colored brother to labor during very hot weather there is apprehension that the troubles of the op erators may be multiplied during July and August. The position of the rosin market is a very .strong one. Receipts ale quickly taken by the bus-era at prevailing prices. There was a decline of 5 cents on all grades during the week, which was promptly regained, and it was reported during the afternoon that purchases were made on some grades above the market quotations. There were advances during the early part of the week in flour, corn and m=al due to the rise in prices of cereals in th' Western market, but the apprehension of further increases does not seem to be wa - ranted at present. The changed freight rates on Western shipments South a-e worrying the provision dealers somewhat and the matter will probably be taken up with the railway officials. The outlook for lumber is very dull, prices having declined greatly during the last few weeks and the demand being light. The fact that many m ils, which had been shut down, opened during Ihe boom season, does not help the situation any. Sail tonnage rates aj-e lower tnan for some years past, but this does not help the lumber dealers any, but rather the contrary. The market remained nominal through out the week, there being but slight de mand and scarcely any transactions. The quotations, though varied slightly during the week, are the same to-day as they were a week ago. COTTON.

New York, June 15.—Though bearlshly inclined, the local cotton trade was forced to give way to bull speculation from Eu rope and strong cables from Liverpool. After closing yesterday's market at the lowest point of the session, the rank and file of the “talent” went home firmly con vinced that Liverpool would take warn ing and fluctuate accordingly, the impres sion being that Improved crop conditions In Texas more than offset the damage accounts in the central belt and that-the outstanding short interest had been ma terially cut down during the fore part of the week. A decided refusal on Liver pool's part to be governed by events here, together with the appearance of formida ble foreign buying orders, disconcerted op erators on the call and led tq a scramble for cover, on which prices advanced 2@5 points. During the rest of the forenoon prices continued to work steadily upward on persistent and free purchases by rep resentatives of Influential foreign houses. Bullish enthusiasm failed to kindle in lo cal circles, however, and with a lull In European buying, speculation came to a standstill. Nevertheless, no effort was made by bears in the direction of recov ering the ground lost during the fore noon and prices held well up to the best figures of the day. In mid-afternoon small amounts of cotton, held by In vestors on which fair profits existed, came out under a forecast for much better weather throughout the belt to-morrow. Early reports from the Memphis district indicated a deplorable state of affairs as a result of unbroken rains, which In some Instances reached well nigh cloud burst proportion. Late advices from the Southwest, how ever, quite counter-balanced the unfavor able news from the Mississippi valley, noting fine fields, with the plant well de veloped and In a position to withstand easily the usually trying weather of July and August. The Atlantic states also re ported a favorable outlook, with farmers well up in cultivation, and very grati fied with the crop in general. Toward the close shorts ran to cover. The market was finally very steady at a net rise of I@lo points. New York, June 15.—Cotton futures open ed steady, June B.62!December 7.35 July B.7l|January 7.57 August 8.35!

New York. June 15.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: The feature of the day has been the strength of Liverpool in face of the weakness yesterday. Rumors arc current that this strength is due to some effort on the part of the larger houses in Liver pool to forth a settlement of the local short interest there, and if possible attract a speculation, which would bring about a revival of the interest in cotton, which has gradually been diminishing during the past three months. Their basis is, of course, the strong statistical position, though as yet they are without any sup port from the English spinners, who show no signs of bglng alarmed at the threat ened manipulation In that market. The support to our local market has come from Liverpool buying orders on the nearby po sitions. July has been relatively weaker, in view of the near approach of notices. Some 12,000 hales have been shipped out of our stock during the past two weeks. The weather In Texas Is generally favor able, too much rain has fallen in the Mem phis district, w hile the crop accounts from the Atlantic’ states are generally good. Although there Is no revival In specula tion. the trade are disposed to buy on wreak markets, expecting a sharp rally In view of the strong statistical position. New YOrk. June 15.—Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liverpool unchanged on spots, (middling. 5 l-16d>: sales six thousand 1 ales. Futures opened about 2d lower, closed unchanged on old, and about 1 flown on new crops. Our market opened 2 to 5 points higher on better XAverpool advices than expected, coupled with re ports of continued heavy rains in portion of the cotton belt, reacted somewhat on reuilung sake, but became steadier again on shorts covering, and new buying. Con tinued heavy rains In the Memphis Dis trict make conditions very unfavorable, but the speculative public are not inclined to take the bull side yet. as conditions in Texas are not Improving, and It lookst like higher market to-morrow.
