Be in the Third—The Bill Adopted
Oj- the Senate After a Spirited De
pute—Dispensary Bill Causes
Much Discussion.
Tallahassee, Fla., May 15.—The Senate
rr.ide a clean sweep of its calendar to
da . finally passing the following bills:
Conferring additional powers upon the
city of Palatka; constitutional jurisdic
tion of state Supreme Court, regulating
eponge dredging; prescribing penalty for
burning woods and authorizing labor or
ganizations to adopt and use label or
trade mark and for protection of such
label.
After long argument in the House this
morning that body finally settled the
question of congressional redlstrictlng by
passing the bill submitted by the majority
of the special joint committee, which
considered all bills for redistrieting the
state to provide for additional congress
man. The bill which now goes to the Gov
ernor divides the peninsula by the north
and south line, making the First district
consist of Taylor, Lafayette, Levy, Ma
rion, Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, Sumter,
Lake, Hillsboro, Polk,, Manatee De Soto,
Lee and Monroe counties, the west half
of the peninsula.
The Second or East Coast district will
contain Hamilton, Suwanee, Columbia,
Baker, Bradford, Alachua, Duval, Clay,
Nassau, St. Johns, Putnam, Volusia.
Orange, Osceola, Brevard and Dade, The
counties west of the Suwanee river, Mad
ison, Jefferson, Leon, Wakulla, Gadsden,
Liberty, Franklin, Jackson, Calhoun,
Holmes, Washington, Walton, Santa
Rosa and Escambia will form the Third
Congressional district.
The debate on the bill was unusually
spirited. Messrs. Zewadski, Palmer,
Young, Davidson, Koonce and Griggs sup
ported the successful measure, while the
proposed substitute which sought to di
vide the peninsula by the east and west
line was supported with equal vigor by
Representatives Broward, Clarke, Gornto,
Wolfe, Blanton and McGiffin. The vote
against the substitute was 38 to 28.
The widely discussed dispensary bill
was next tgken up on second reading
for amendment and discussion. The pro
vision exempting tourist hotels and al
lowing them to sell liquors was stricken
out and the provision to apply net pro
ceeds of dispensary system to building of
public highways was amended to vote
net proceeds to support of public schools.
Judge Griggs precipitated a heated de
bate by moving to indefinitely postpone
a bill. Judge Griggs made a strong and
dignified argument against the dispensary
system. Mr. McGiffin ridiculed the work
ings of the system and Mr. Davis of St.
Augustine entertained a crowded hall
with a spread-eagle speech against dis
pensaries. Messrs. Wall, Broward and
Zewadski ably opposed killing the bill,
and the motion to indefinitely postpone
was lost 49 to 13.
The hill to appropriate SIOO,OOO for en
largement of the State Capital, which was
the special order for this afternoon, was
carried over until to-morrow.
THE GREATER TAMPA FIGHT.
An Animated DlxiiMion Before the
Committee Last Night.
Tallahassee, May 15. —The hearing
on the bill creating a Greater
Tampa by incorporating into the
present cits' the suburbs of East Tampa,
West Tampa and Fort Brook was resum
ed, and concluded in a crowded Senate
chamber to-night. Capt. John T. Leslie.
Mayor of Fort Brooke, spoke one hour,
protesting on behalf of citizens of his
town against consolidation. He argued
that the proposed annexation was not
warranted by the situation in Tampa’s
suburb®, not desired by the people, and
would greatly injure their property inter
ests. Capt. Leslie read many protests
against the bill from the property owners
effected.
Senator Thomas Palmer, of Tampa,
closed the argument in a two-hour’s re
ply to the argument of Col. MacFarlane
and Capt. Leslie, contending that no le
gal objections could exist against the pro
posed consolidation which the Legislature
could not fix, as the Legislature is su
preme in such matters. Senator Palmer
claimed that the business and labor or
ganizations. and the majority of the citi
zens of Tampa favored city expansion. He
dfiiled the charges that consolidation
scheme was promoted by corrupt motives
or was Intended for political advantage.
Renewed emphasis was Jaid on the fact
that the controlling reason for consolida
tion is that suburbanites ar.e making
their living out of Tampa and living out
side the corporation to escape taxation.
This committee hearing has been unique
in the history of Florida Legislatures.
The feeling between the friends and the
opponents of the Greater Tampa scheme
has reached the boiling point, and an un
usually large and prominent lobby has
almost monopolized interest in legislative
ci-cles. The committee has taken the
matter under advisement.

HAUGHTY CIGARMAKERS.
Require Pontoon Bridges at Tampa
and Demand More Street Far*.
Tampa, Fla., May 15.—A1l the cigar
makers in West Tampa went on a strike
this morning because they had to cross
the river in ferry boats. They marched
to the courthouse plaza, where a meeting
was held. They decided to visit all re
maining factories and induce the men to
walk out. The procession started about a
thousand strong and gathered force as it
proceeded.
Every factory was visited and as they
were reached the strike extended. By
noon every factory in the city was closed.
About six thousand people are out. The
men claim they lost a good deal of time
crossing the river, and were in much
danger in doing so. Several narrow es
capes were made this morning by boats
being overloaded. Workmen claimed if
they went on a strike manufacturers
wouid use influence to have the city au
thorities place pontoon bridges so they
could walk across while bridges were be
ing rebuilt. Orders were at once given
and pontoons hustled up. They also boy
cotted the street oars because the man
agement did not give them more cars. No
strike is participated in by the Interna
tional and Resistencia men alike. It is
not sure now that they will go to work
when pontoons are up as they may con
tinue the grievance against the street
railway and demand that relief be given
them from that source.

and destroy religous faith—in a word, to
utterly destroy the fatherland itself—l in

before the high court, on the question of
who are the real authors of the con

It appears that a German Arm, exhib

excluded from an award by the Jury of
awards on account of the appearance of
their bottled brandy, and the
label employed, which were regard
ed as unfair Imitations of
French cognac. Nevertheless, this

Girls TlilnU the Chaps Have Become
Too Proud.
From the New York Herald.
Within the last week the sale of Ice
cream soda and chocolate caramels in
Montclair, N. J.. has fallen off 90 per
cent., for the girls of that town are train
ing for an Interesting athletic event.
For a year or more the boys ol the
Montclair High School have been inflated
with pride over triumphs on tield and
track. This has been received with cold
displeasure by the high school girls;
who have now determined to teach the
young men a lesson. So on May 17 a
complete programme of field and track
gomes will bo held by the high school
girls on the grounds of the Montclair
Athletic Club.
Bis posters announce to all that the
"lady athletes” will compete iti “the
open” at running, high and broad Jump
ing and hurdling for valuable prizes. Fur
thermore, that there will be a bicycle
race, a shot-putting contest and other
events.
“Contestants are warned.” reads the
poster, “that spiked shoes are barred."
Admission to these contests will be
strictly by Invitation, and a high board
fence will shut out uninvited eyes.
All the high school boys have been in
vite-1 to occupy front seats in the grand
stand as guests of "special honor.”
The, girl athletes will compete In a
costume which has been approved by
the high school authorities, after long
study and deep meditation. It will con
sist of a white silk shirtwaist, dark
blue bloomers, light blue stockings and
dainty little gymnasium slippers of tinted
canvas.
Miss Bessie George, manager of ths
Montclair High School basketball team,
who Is tall, slander, blonde and pretty,
told of the sport carnival yesterday.
"We girls want to show the boy* what
geese they really are." she said. ”1
don't know that we shall succeed, be
cause they are taking it all as seriously
as owls. They are so positively stupid.
"Now, as to the games, we girls don't
intend to exert ourselves a little bit.
The 'events,' you know, read big on
paper, hut there is where we fool the
boys. With masculine stupidity, they
will look for real athletics. We will give
them real athletics as sensible girls see
them.
“The longest run will be only forty
yards; the tallest hurdle only twelve
Inches high. The bicycle race will go to
the contestant who travels the dlstanea
lu slowest time, while in the ‘shot put'
a croquet ball will be substituted for the
regulation missile.
‘Then wo are going to have rope
Jumping and hoop rolling contests,” con
tinued Miss George, "and If we don’t
make these conceited boys feel foollsn
nothing ever will."
Miss Josephine Armitage. the captain
of the High School basketball teem, took
a more serious view of the situation. “Of
course, It Is very largely a joke,” she said,
“but there will be a really good Jumping
contest. The troublo Is the girls won't
train. Apart from giving up Hweets an
soda, I don't think one of us has made
a move.”

GIVEN FIRST VERDICT. *
Mra. Ivy Weber Wants a Divorce
From John J. Weber.
Mrs. Ivy Weber was granted a first ver
dict in the Superior Court yesterday in
a suit for total divorce against her hus
band, John J. Weber. The defendant was
not represented and no answer was made
to the charge of desertion. Weber la well
remembered as proprietor of a Whitaker
street barber shop. He opened a tonaorlal
establishment, afterwards with female
barbers and later was a, member of the
Second Georgia Regiment. At Tampa the
barber soldier deserted, and after the reg
iment was mustered out In this city, re
turned. A reconciliation was followed by
a second row and the tiling of the action
for divorce.

Hon Judge I'ainin Became * Mil
lionaire on Northern Puctfle.
FTom the Philadelphia North American
Among tho lucky holders of Northern
Pacific stock In Philadelphia who sold at
the sky-high figures which prevailed when
the Wall street corner waa on last week
probably the greatest amount of profit
was reaped by former Chief Justice Ed
win M. Paxson. Friends of the Jurist
mate that the Northern Pacific boom
brought him a fortune of over $2,600,000.
judge Paxson, it is stated, bought 5.000
shares of Northern Pacific stock several
years ago at S2B ft share, as an investment.
He laid the stock aside, and did not
bring It from his strong box until last
Thursday, whan Northern Pacific com
manded the record price of SI,OOO a share.
The Judge sold his block of stock In
New York for $550 a share, the price be
ing a fair average In the wide fluctua
tion on Change. The total for the 5,000
shares tyas $2,750,000.
As the stock originally cost Judge Pax
son $140,000, he realized a profit of $2,610,-
QOq, fan greater ihan his moat sanguine
expectations when he made the original
Investment. The Judge s friends are de
lighted over his good fortune.
It 1* understood that Judge Paxson's
attention was first directed to the possi
bilities In the Northern Pacific Railroad
property when he was acting as president
and receiver of the Reading Railroad. In
common with Jay Cooke, Charles B.
Wrlfht and other Philadelphia financier*
who were the originators of the North
ern Pacific system, and for years pinned
their faith In It* ultimate value aryl Im
portance. Judge Paxson firmly believed
that the future held great things in store
for the stock.
But It may be doubted whether tho
Judge's most optimistic forecast led him
to think that he would ever reap a profit
of nearly per cent, upon hi* Invest
ment.
LtUlaa Russell us a Doctor In t'hrls
tlun Helenee.
From the Boston Herald.
There are few people willing to credit
the fact that Lillian Ruseell is an en
thusiastic believer In the doctrine of
Christian Science. It is, nevrtheles*. true
that the beautiful "queen of comic opera”
has for more than a year studied 4he
cVced closely and practize* It* preachings
assidously. ,
"1 am not sufficiently up In the sub
ject to speak about It and It Is too sacred
to me to have it ridiculed.” Is her in
variable reply to would-be Interviewers.
Hut behind the scenes of “Fiddle-Dee-
Dee' It is a different tnstter.
"'I don't know how 1 can sing to-night,”
declared Fay Templeton, recently. “My
throat Is sore, and 1 am all choked up
with a cold."
“Don't think about It, and your throat
won’t trouble you,"responded Mis* Russell
promptly." Keep your mind away from
the trouble. Just aay that you are not til,
and don’t intend to be. Assert yourself.
Rise superior to such a trifle. Compel
your tnroat to obey you, and don't let
your throat dictate to you what It will
do."
Then for at least five minutes Mia* Rut
sell preached Christian Science to Fay
Templeton, persuading her to believe she
was not 111. Whether the leMon was ef
ficient or not. Fay declined to commit
herself. The fact remain* that she aang
k,hat night, and sang a* well as v*r.
DUBLIN’S FINE SCHDDLS.
Compliment Paid Them by Two
Georgia. Colleges.
Dublin. Ga., May 15.—Prof. J. C. Ward
law ha* received notice from the presi
dents of Mercer University and Emory
College that hereafter graduates of th*
Dublin public schools will be admitted to
these institutions In the ftophmore cias*
without examination. Tho state univer
sity will not admit the graduates to th*
Sophmore class without examination, but
will admit the students to the Freshman
class. President Hill, however, state#
that there la no doubt in his mind but
that any graduate of the Dublin public
schools would h-ave no trouble In enter
ing the Sophmore class at the univer
sity after an examination. The course
of study In the Dublin schools Is mucts
higher than most of the high schools in
the state. It is a full year ahead of tna
school system of Waycroas, which 1 con
sidered one of the best schools In tha
state. It is said by those In a position
to know that not more than five public
schools in the state, Including th*
city schools, ere ahead of the schools of
Dublin, and not more than five other
schools are equal to It, all of the rest be
ing below the school system of this city.
The school system of Elberton more near
ly correspond# to the Dublin school sys
tem than any other In the state, the Dub
lin school being In advance of Elber
ton In only one study that of Latin. Dur
ing the summer the course of tudy la
the Dublin schools will be revised and im
proved, and after that time no school in
the state wilt be superior.
Prof. Wardlaw has been appointed by
the presidents of Mercer University, Em
ory College and the State University to
examine in this city May ‘lb any and all
pupils from this section of Georgia who
desire to enter either one of these insti
tutions next fall. If Prof. Wardlaw
posses the applicants for the classes thsy
desire to enter they will be accepted
by either one of theze institutions without
further examination. If they fall, how
ever, they have several months to further
prepare themselves for another examina
tion to be held Just prior to the opening
of the colleges. This examination Is not
for ths pupils of the Dublin public school*
who may desire to enter the Sophomore
class In Emory or Mercer or the Fresh
man class at th* University, but for all
other* In Georgia who for one reason or
another would like to come to Dqblln
and he examined rather than wait until
next fall. The appointment of Prof. Ward
law to do this work I* considered quite a
compliment.
The Southern Express Company will
probably be called upon to pay a license
tax to do business in this city of S6O la
addition to that already paid by that cor
poration. About two year* ago the tax
ordinance of the city were fixed so as to
admit express companies that put on frea
delivery for the sum of $25 per year; com
panies making no delivery being required
to pay $75. The Southern Express Com
pany Immediately put on a free delivery
and qualified under the $25 clause In tha
ordinance. Recently, however, for soma
reason th* delivery wagon was shipped
away from Dublin and a hand cart fur
nished the agent here with which to de
liver packages In the business portion of
the city. Taking the wagon off Is hold
to be In violation of the ordinance and
It Is probable that the company will bo
asked to pay into the treasury of the city
SSO more license tax.
Iruuwlek'a Halses Ordinance In
Force.
Brunswick. Go.. May 15.—Brunswick
last night realized the flr*t practical ef
fect of the recent whisky crusade Insti
tuted by the I.aw and Order League,
when, under the ordinance adopted by
City Council at Its meeting on Monday
night providing for th closing of saloons,
cafe* and other places where spirituous
and malt liquors are sold at 9 o'clock.
Th- ordinance in question, sweeping In
It* general texture, regulates tha whisky
traffic, which must or.ly bo conducted be
tween the hours of 6 a. m. and 9 p. m.,
and was rigidly enforced last night.
Chief of Folio* Burney personally vis
ited the saloon* yesterday and compelled
the proprietors to remove every sugges
tion and scintilla of a screen, which th y
consider is also an unnecessary fling at
their business.
