Exhibits.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 19.—With
just enough of a sprinkle to properly
, hrlsten the occasion, the Florida State
Agricultural Fair was opened in this
city to-day, with appropriate exercises
in which Gov. W. S. Jennings and
Mayor Duncan U. Fletcher took speak
ing parts.
The exercises took place in the au
ditorium, and were carried out without
a hitch In the programme. After the
band concert Gov. Jennings made an
eloquent address during which he
traced the progress of the Fair ae a
medium of exhibiting the products of
states and nations from the festival of
the Greeks soon after the fall of Troy.
He took occasion to compliment the
citirens ol Jacksonville upon the unex
ampled rapidity with which they had
gone to work to obliterate the damage
done by the great Are of May 3, and
made a comparison between this city
and Chicago.
Mayor Fletcher welcomed the people
of the state to the fair and to the hos
pitality of the citizens of Jacksonville.
The fair itself contains the finest ex
hibit of citrus fruits ever on exhibition
this side of the Rocky Mountains and
also displays an advance in farming,
stock raising and truck gardening that
is a revelation to those who have not
kept pace with Florida’3 progress in
these directions. The energy of the
manager, Maj. G. P. Healy, in bring
ing to a successful issue under difficul
ties the present exposition is highly
commended. The usual attractions,
minus those which might offend the
morals of the community, are all in
evidence and the arrangements of the
tent exhibitions have been laft to the
direction of W. H. McFarland, himself
a side show manager of national repu
tation.
The city itself, although in the midst
of enormous building operations, has
assumed a gala appearance and the
streets are brilliantly illuminated at
night. Many showmen have been at
tracted here and aside from what is on
exhibition at the fair grounds there Is
, a regular street fair in progress.
While many of the counties of the
state are represented the bulk of the
exhibits come from South Florida and
East Folrida. The progress made in
tobacco culture and manufacture, cas
sava for stock and manufacture, and
Improved stock is in evidence from all
parts of the state. Probably the finest
county exhibits tare those of Orange,
Volusia, Dade, Brevard, and St. Johns,
although Baker, Pasco, Columbia and
other counties, including Duval, are
■well worth seeing.
The Orange county exhibit contains
a display of monster pineapples grown
as a rule under cover on a large scale,
thqt attracted universal attention. The
finest specimens of sugar cane formed
part of her exhibit and in the line of
citrus fruits the county had a fine dis
play.
Brevard and Dade counties Joined
issues in representing the Southern
east cost, and collectively displayed the
capabilities of that section of Florida
on a grand scale. The pineapple sec
tion, par excellence, it made a special
exhibit of pines, C. T. McCarty of
Ankona, Brevard county, leading in
this class. The Dade county exhibit
contained many varieties of fruit, such
as paw paws, maumee apples, custard
appples, limes, citron, mangoes and
alligator pears. Guava syrup, jellies
and an Infinite variety of preserves
made' from tropical and sub-tropical
fruits, were greatly admired. The ex
hibit of the Dixon Medicine Company
of medicinal preparations manufactur
ed from the saw palmetto at Titusville,
came in for a large share of atten
tion. The famous Indian river
oranges and grape fruit figured
largely in the Brevard exhibit.
n Qiuria county had many fine indi
vidual exhibits, there being none finer
than that of James Carnell, whose pre
served fritits, guava jellies, candied or
ange, orangeate, grapefruit marmalade,
guava cheese, etc., hove already qgeeiv
ed first prizes at the Pan-American Ex
hibition. W. S. Hart of Hawk's Park
had a notable display of citrus fruits,
and the Ronnoc grove, the celebrated
plantation of W. E. Connor, the New
York broker and former partner of the
late Jay Gould, added much to the Val
dosta booth. An especial feature of
the Connor exhibit, which was in
charge of B. F. Chilton, was a great
variety of fine wines.
The exhibit of St. Johns'county was
unique, covering the whole field of hor
ticulture, agriculture, pisciculture and
other industries, and reflected credit
on Commissioner C. F. Hopkins of
that county. There were huge saw
fish, tarpon and alligators, citrus
fruits, pears, domestic wines, a fine
display of garden truck of all kinds,
field crops and articles of domestic
manufacture. One of the best exhibits
from this county, was that of Eugene
Masters, consisting of Irish and sweet
potatoes, snap beans, lettuce and other
vegetables. The pecan was also much
In evidence and in the display made by
Dr. R. B. Garnett some very fine Kie
fer pears won favorable comment.
Columbia county showed up strong
as one of the finest counties In the
state for general agricultural prod
ucts. It is in this county that the
State Agricultural College is located,
and the Columbia exhibit was rich in
its display of fine field products as well
as of hogs and cattle.
Pasco county's contribution to the
Fair showed the varied possibilities of
the soil in this prosperous little coun
ty. Its products of citrus fruits were
very creditable, while in strawberries
and vegetables It ranks with the best.
Balter county, adjoining Duval, and
a near neighbor of the state of Geor
gia, has the banner display of nur
sery stock. G. L. Taber and Grilling
Broa. have both a magnificent display.
They alao show that even In tba moat
northern part of the state fine oranges
■ an. with care, be grown with profit.
Baker county display of oranges vies
with some of the more southerly
counties.
An odd but none the less Interesting
exhibit was that of Htate Ho; Commis
sioner John Y Detwfier, of New Smyr
na. Mr. Detwiler had a collection of
oyster sheila showing the native oyster
iron) various waters of the state In ail
stages of development from the spawn

life and another move to be made on
ward and upward."
The speaker spoke of reciprocity
treaties as one of the features of this
twentieth century Monroe doctrine, and
defined their principle to be that trade
is not to be free on one side and fet
tered on the other; that goods are not
to be taken from a foreign country free
of duty, or at a low rate, unless that
country take something from us free
of duty or at a low rate.
“What we need in this country to
day," said the senator, “is non-partisan
patriotism and statesmanship, more de
voted to the building up of our common
country than to party success. Great
national issues, involving the glory of
our republic and its triumphant suc
cess, as a free constitutional govern
ment should not be dwarfed into sec
tional and partisan questions. ' Let us
stand shoulder to shoulder, good Amer
icans, no matter what ofir politices or
what our section.”
In conclusion Senator McLaurin said:
“All signs Indicate that our modern
civilization is approaching one of those
momentous crises that occur periodi
cally In the history of the human race.
Antagonistic elements of fearful force
are at work. At seems as if all proph
ecy pointed to America as the final
battleground between error and truth,
and it may be that we are near that
field of Armmageddon dimly seen by
poet and painter, where the brute na
ture of man and his immortal soul
Join in the great battle, which the Good
Book tells us shall precede the dawn
of that era of ‘peace on earth and good
will toward men.’ ”
The Question of the Trusts.
Gov.-elect Albert B. Cummins of
followed Senator McLaurin. Mr.
Cummins said there is a feeling in this
country that industrial combinations
are tending to drift toward, monopolies.
Not a word could be said, he declared,
against industrial combinations, but a
monopoly was quite a different thing
from industrial combinations. He said
there are two forces to regulate prices
—one competition and the other regula
tion by law.
“I know,” said Mr. Cummins, “that
the people of this country will not
stand for industrial monopoly
more than they would for a monarchi
cal form of government. If we wish
to preserve the manhood of our citi
zenship the time will come when it will
be necessary to nationalize the ques
tions which are now agitating the pub
lic mind In this particular domain.”
The last speaker of the evening was
the Rev. Dr. Donald S. McKay, who
responded to the toast “The Higher
Ideal or Civic Righteousness.”
RAISED MUCH MONEY.
Virginia Methodists Make Good Ft
■uincial Showing.
Newport News, Va., Nov. 19.—To
day's features in the Virginia Metho
dist Episcopal conference were the re
port of the Board of Education and the
election cf Rev. J. P. Garland as sixth
and last clerical delegate by the gen
eral conference.
Rev. J. c. Hank presented to the
conference as an applicant for admis
sion on trial, the name of Rev. B. C.
Beahm, an ordained elder In the Bap
tist Church. Mr. Beahm was admitted.
Rev. E. T. Dadmun reported for the
Epworth League, 3,339 chapters and
120,236 members.
The next biennial convention will be
held in Danville.
The most interesting feature of the
morning session was the report of the
Board of Education, Dr. A. C. Smith,
chairman. Dr. Smith stated the can
vass for the Twentieth Century Fund
closed with this conference, that
SBB,OOO in cash and subscriptions
had been received in all, $37,000 during
the first year’s canvass, $39,000 during
the second year, and *12.000 during the
third, and he hoped that even though
the canvass was formally closed, the
amoilnt would yet be raised to SIOO,OOO.
In referring to the last year’s work Dr.
Smith stated that the *12,000 was the
result of the efforts of Dr. W. G. Starr,
who was alone in the field, having been
associated with another in the previous
year, when the larger sum was raised.
NORTHERN METHODISTS ADJOURN.

Veteran of -Civil War Appeals for
Union of the Two Branches.
Pittsburg. Nov. 19.—The annual
meeting of the General Missionary
Committee of the Methodist Episcopal
Church adjourned finally this evening
to meet In Albany, N. Y... next year.
The delegates have been diligent dur
ing the sessions, and much valuable
work was accomplished. About fifty
members were present at to-day’s
meeting.
Dr. Goucher's appeal for $40,000 for
the purpose of joining with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, in es
tablishing a publishing hous* at Shang
hai, was granted. The appeal was
thoroughly discussed before passing.
Bishop Fowler opposed the proposi
tion. He said union would bring ever
lasting trouble, and contended that
among 400,000,000 Chinese there was
room for competition.
Gen. Rusling. a veteran of the Civil
War, aroused the committee by his vig
orous talk.
"I want to see this union with the
South,” he said. “I fought the South
for four years, but I quit at Appom t
rnattox and I want to see the two
churches get together and make one
great church. Let this union be the
entering wedge.”

comprising the entire force of brake
men, freight handlers and switchmen
of the New York division of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road went on strike to-day. The re
puted cause of the strike is the dis
charge of the assistant superintendent.
Robert Thurbush, of the Mott Haven
yards. The strike also materially af
fects the tugboat and float system of
the railroad In this city.

Some Sensible Advice to Wo

“ Dear Mrs. Pixkhsm : —When I
passed through what is known as
‘ change of lire,’ I had two years’ suf
fering,—sudden heat, and as quick
chills would pass over me ; my appetite

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound

of health, and I have enjoyed every day

“ We have used considerable of your
Vegetable Compound in our charitable
work, as we find that to restore a poor
mother to health so she can support her
self and those dependent upon her, if
such there be, is truer charity than to
give other aid. You have my hearty
endorsement, for you have proven
yourself a true friend to suffering wo

No other person can give such
helpful advice to women who
are sick as can Mrs. Pinkham,
for no 1 other has had such great
experience—her address is Lynn,

you are sick write her—you are
foolish if you don’t.
WOMEN IN WARM DEBATE.
W. C. T. U. DISCUSSES PoAtICAL
QUESTIONS.
Mrs. Lillian M. Stevens Unanimonuly
Elected President—The Resolu
tions Agreed Upon Adopted—They
Advocate Total Abstinence, Up
hold Prohibition, Endorse Anti-
Canteen Law, Deplore Death of
President McKinley, Favor Arbi
tration o( Labor Troubles and
Equality of Men and Women Be
fore the Law.
Fort Worth, Tex., Nov. 19.—The sal
ient feature of to-day's session of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
national convention was the debate
over the adoption of resolutions con
cerning statehood for Oklahoma and
Indian Territory and the endorsement
of the prohibition party. The debate
was long and spirited.
The Oklahoma statehood resolution
was finally referred In a memorial and
telegram to President Roosevelt, ask
ing him not to recommend statehood in
his forthcoming message. The reso
lution favoring the national prohibition
party was defeated.
Mrs. Lillian M. Stevens was unani
mously elected president of the Wom
an's Christian Temperance Union for
the coming year; Mrs. Susannah Fry
corresponding secretary; Mrs. Clara
Hoffman recording secretary and Mrs.
Helen Morton Barker treasurer.
The resolutions agreed upon last
night were adopted to-day with slight
changes, viz:
First. Advocating total abstinence
as the only safe rule for each man
and woman's habit of life.
Second. Upholding the great prin
ciple of prohibition as the only right
eous protection against the most un
scrupulous and demoralizing traffic on
earth.
Third. Reaffirming the statement
that the American army is far better
off without intoxicants of any kind,
and endorsing the anti-canteen law.
Fourth. Believing in a revival of
Christian citizenship founded on divine
ideals of righteousness.
Fifth. Deploring the death of the
late President McKinley at the hands
of a cruel assassin and especially that
he should have fallen a victim to that
inensate hatred of law or government
which is represented in anarchy.
Sixth. Favoring the peaceful solu
tion of labor troubles by arbitration
and calling upon woncmen to join in
the battle against the saloon.
Seventh. Calling for perfect equality
of men and women before the law.
Eighth. Standing unqualifiedly for a
white life, for pure manhood and pro
tected womanhood, demanding an
amendment to the constitution defining
marriage as monogamous and pun
ishing plural marriage by disqualifica
tion to vote or to hold office in addi
tion to severe penalties.
The Conservatives Prevailed.
A decision in respect to political ac
tion was not accomplished without con
siderable debate, the extremists con
tending that as the convention had de
clared in its resolutions for Christian
citizenship, constitutional enactment
concerning polygamy and monoga
mistic marriage, and the necessity ot
prohibiting the manufacture, sale and
distribution of alcoholic liquor by law,
It would only be consistent to cast its
fortunes with the present party pledged
to all of these reforms.
The conservative portion of the con
vention, however, held that as the
cause of opposition to the liquor traf
fic had so far prospered through non
partisan action, "let well enough
alone,” should continue to be the mot
to. This prevailed.
The national banner of the Loyal
Temperance Legion was won by Ar
kansas.

BRITAIN’S SCHOOL SYSTEM.
School Board System of Educating
Children ot Poor in Danger.
New York, Nov. 19.—Prof. Foulkner
Stuart fcf the British government's de
partment of education is In the etty to
day from Canada. He arrived In Can
ada about a month ago from England
to Inspect thoroughly that country's
public school system. From here he
will go to Atlanta, Charleston, New
Orleans and a few of the principal
other Southern cities, after which he
will return home.
Prof. Stuart said to-day: ,
“The people of Canada enjoy excel
lent public school facilities, but a
great many of the instructors, male
and female, I found to be highly In
competent. Time, however, will no
doubt greatly improve this deficiency.
Prof. Stuart said the school board
system of educating the poor In Great
Britain is in danger of being abol
ished by the present government.
“After many pretenses,” he said, “the
government has admitted that Its one
desire In matters educational Is to de
stroy this system, which Is the only
opportunity open to tfce children of the
poor of gaining a free education. Why
the school boards should pass away
has not been sufficiently explained.
They have served a most useful pur
pose in the cause of education in large
towns. They have not proved so suc
cessful in rural districts, however, and
this is partly because they have been
opposed by the parson and the
‘squire.’ ”
KEPT FALSE ACCOUNTS.
Mayor Diehl of Buffalo Suspends
Treasurer Gerat.
Buffalo, Nov. 19.—Mayor Diehl to
day suspended City Treasurer Philip
Gerst from office.
In the notice of suspension the
Mayor charged Mr. Gerst with miscon
duct in office and with having kept
inaccurate and false accounts, and
specifically charges that from the ac
counts of the treasurer the amount of
cash on hand to the credit of the city
Is $500,000 in excess of the actual
amount.
The examination of the treasurer's
accounts, which has been In progress
for several days, will be continued.
Robert F. Schelling, counsel for Mr.
Gerst’s bondsmen, said he did not be
lieve Gerst had ever misappropriated
one single dollar of the city's money.
He added that he believed all of the
deficiency had been made good and
there is not a dollar owing to the city.
Asked as to what Mr. Gerst’s bonds
men would do in the matter, he re
plied:
“The bondsmen will do nothing.”
IGLESIAS STILL IN JAIL.
Porto Rican Court Demand* gOOO
Caak Deposit.
Washington. Nov. 19.—President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
eration of Labor, received word from
San Juan to-day that in accordance
with Mr. Gomper’s request *SOO boni
for Vhe release of Santiago Iglestas had
been offered, but was rejected, and the
court ordered that a deposit of SSOO in
money be made. Mr. Gompers hesi
tates in regard to authorizing this de-'
posit. He will consult his colleagues
of the executive council of the federa
tion before taking further action.
Mr. Gompers received a letter from
Gov. Hunt of Porto Rico, conveying
the assurance that every legal protec
tion will be afforded Mr. Igleslas.
GEN. SEWELL'S CONDITION.
New Jersey Senator Unable t® At
tend Opening of Congress.
Elizabeth, N. J., Npv, 19.—United
States Senator Kean arrived home to
day from a visit to Ugited States Sen
ator Sewell at Asheville, N. C. Sena
tor Kean, in speaking of Senator Sew
ell’s condition, said:
“I found Senator Sewell no worse,
despite the alarming rumors a6 to his
condition, and, in fact, I think he is
somewhat improved in health. I do
not believe Gen. Sewell will be able to
attend the opening of Congress. He
does not expect to himself, but he hopes
that later in the session his health will
have sufficiently improved to enable
him to attend.
EPIDEMIC AT CAPE TOWN.
Over 800 Cates of Bubonic Plague
and 380 Deaths.
Norfolk, Va., Nov. 19.—The British
steamer Monmouth, Capt. Troop,
which arrived here yesterday from Cape
Town. South Africa, reports the exist
ence of over 800 cases of bubonic plague
in the vicinity of Cape Town when she
left that port. Up to the time she
sailed, some 380 deaths from the plague
had occurred.
Dr. Greer Made a Bishop.
Springfield, Mass., Nov. 19.—Rev. Dr.
D. H. Greer, rector of St. Bartholo
mew’s Church, New York, was elected
bishop of the new Episcopal diocese of
Western Massachusetts this afternoon.
His name was the only one presented
to the convention.
FIXED THE MINISTER,
And He Needed Looking Alter.
“In a ministers family In Los An
geles. where I was visiting sometime
ago, the wife complained of Berlous
indigestion and dyspepsia. She admit
ted that she used coffee and said she
more than aalf believed that was the
trouble. I told hep that I knew It was
the trouble, for I had gone through
with the experience myself and had
only been cured when I left off coffee
and took up Postum Food Coffee.
She said she had tried the Postum,
both for herself and her husband, but
they did not like it. With her permis
sion. I made Postum next morning
myself, and boiled It full fifteen min
utes after the real boiling of the pot
began. Then when It was served, it
was a rich, deep brown color and had
the true flavor and food value that ev
ery Postum maker knows. It I* all
folly to talk about trying to make
Postum with one or two mihutes’ steep
ing.
You can't get something good for
nothing. It must be boiled, boiled, boil
ed, and to keep it from boiling over,
use small lump of butter, perhaps twice
the size of a pea. That morning tbe
minister and hie wife liked Postum so
well that their whole lives were

they abandoned coffee at once and for
all time.

CATARRH and
CONSUMPTION.
♦
Their Cause and How Contracted.
Catarrh and consumption are germ
diseases In every sense of the word,
local In nature and not hereditary or
blood diseases. The germs of both
diseases may be taken in the stom
ach or Injected Into the blood without
endangering a person's health in the
least. But let these germs become dry
and Inhaled in the air we breathe,
then if there is any irritated or sore
spots, such as are caused by coughs
and colds, on the membrane lining the
air passage, these germs attach them
selves to these spots, receive nourish
ment from them and multiply with
astonishing rapidity.
The old theory that germs of these
diseases are carried by the blood to
the different parts of the body has long
since been exploded. The germs them
selves remain in the head and lungs
and it is the product of their digestion
(a poison called toxine) that finds its
way into the circulation, causing
coughs, emaciation, fever and weak
ness, these being symptoms of and
not the disease itself.
Up to the present time there is only
one perrrfanent cure for these diseases
known, and according tp Government
statistics this treatment has reduced
the death rate from catarrh and con
sumption 35 per cent, yearly since its
discovery. Such authority as this can
not be disputed and no person affected
with these diseases has any right or
excuse to Jeopardize their lives by using
other remedies.

THE BONINE TRIAL BEGUN.
Y ESTERI).VY CONSI MED IN GETTING
A JURY.
\
The Prlaoner Pleml* Not Guilty—Her
H unbuild. Stater anti Her Two Sons
Present With Herein Court—Mrs.
Bonlue Conducts Herself Calmly
anil an If She Had No Fear of the
Outcome of the Proceedings.
Washington, Nov. 19.—The trial of
Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine on indictment
for the murder of the young census
clerk, James S. Ayres, Jr., in the lat
ter’s room at Kenmore Hotel in this
city last May, began to-day before
Justice Anderson in Criminal Court No.
L The case was set for 10 o'clock, but
it was several minutes afterwards be
fore either the judge or the prisoner
appeared in the courtroom. At the
first session the courtroom, even
though of limited capacity, was by no
means crowded. Mr. Bonine and Mrs.
Meacham, husband and sister of the
accused, were early occupants of the
seats reserved for Mrs. Bonine's
especial friends, as were the five attor
neys engaged for the defense. At 10:10
o’clock Mrs. Bonine appeared in the
courtroom, accompanied by the veteran
guard, James W. Springman. She
walked so quietly that her entrance
was scarcely noted, and took a seat
beside her husband just back of her
counsel and in front of her sister. She
smiled as she greeted her sister and
the latter placed her arms gently
around her as she sank Into her seat.
After the preliminaries of caning the
names of witnesses and of Jurors were
disposed of Mrs. Bonine was asked to
stand and plead to the indictment. She
listened calmly to the reading of the
document and when it was concluded,
pleaded "not guilty" in low but dis
tinct tones.
After a brief statement of the case
by Judge Anderson the examination of
jurors was begun and when the court,
at 12:50 adjourned for the day, the pan
el was exhausted. There were twenty
six members of the panel, and of these
fourteen were excused, leaving twelve
In the box. Of the fourteen Jurors who
were excused three were relieved by
the court on account of 111 health, sev
en upon challenges by the defense, and
four upon challenges by the district at
torney. All of the government’s chal
lenges were made because of state
ments on the part of the witnesses that
they hqd conscientious scruples against
capital punishment. Most of the chal
lenges on bahalf of the prisoner were
on account of statements by the Ju
rors that they had formed opinions in
the case. In four or five instances
they stated that their views could not
be changed by new testimony.
Mrs. Bonine was apparently as calm
as any of the spectators during the
proceedings. She spoke frequently with
her husband and sister and only once
or twice with her attorneys. During a
part of the day her two boys, respec
tively 15 and 13 years of age, were In
the courtroom. After adjournment she
tcok dinner with her friends in the
prisoner’s room in the courthouse, be
ing closely attended all the time by
her guard. She wag then returned to
Jail. The trial will be resumed to-mor
row.
