A Refreshing Boyish Letter by
one of the Boy’s.
Habana De Cuba, Feb. 15th 1894.
—Well, lam here, did not know J
vas coming until a few hours before
i left I
Was not sick the first night and
iwoke allright, A chum I hud with
ue, said if we would get up and run
round some, we would be all right,
Out oh my! I soon got deathly
tick.
1 Lad to lie down and did not gel
up until we got to Key West.
I tried to eat dinner on the ship,
out failed, it would not go down, 1
am over it now.
We stayed in Key West from two
.’Jack until lip. m. Saw the whole
city and went to the show that night,
went through the Convent and visit
ed the Barracks, saw the soldiers,
saw cocoanuts growing and walked
through a growing tree,
Ti e captain of the vessel got a car
riage and took us all around. There
is nothing like one stall ling in with
the R. IL officials and the officials of
the vessels, as I got free transporta
tion and am stopping at the fines;
Hotel in the city free of charge and
aave a nice room all to myself.
We left Port Tampa at night, and
there was a tremendousjerowd aboard
the Mascott, (that’s the name of the
vessel.)
Several of my friends and acquaint
trices were aboard, Sirs. Suarez and
her son, Primo, Mr. Shey and other
from Port Tampa.
IL ally the vessel was full. The
wind was blowing like everything,
but I was not the least bit Lightened.
After we waved our hands nearly oil'
the ship started, I went to the clerk
tor a room and he told me to take
either 10 or 14, I took No, 10 upper
berth.
The man who slept in the lower
berth was a dead game sport, worth
ten million dollars.
Asl said before, I was not the
least bit sick that night, and I began
to think I vyas a sailor, but the next
morning before we got to Key AV ®st,
Primo told me if we would run round
we would not get sick, but oh j
how sick we did get, we took sofas
in the hall and I lay there until we
got nearly to Key West, where the
water was smooth. AVe went to din
ner with the captain, He is a Jim
dandy man.
AVe left Key West after the theatre
that night. I tried to get to sleep be
fore the ship started but it started in
too big a hurry, but I did not get
sick though the boat rolled, jumped
and kicked, I slept like a log.
The next morning they woke us up
soon to see the scenery, going into
Havanna harbor, and it w .s certainly
line. After I did gel up it took me
ab®ut an hour to dress. would get
a stocking about half on and would
have to lie down. Mono Castle is
right at the entrence of the harbor
by Th® light house and that w r as a
grand sight:
AVe anchored in the harbor and
went ashore in little boats, (I went
in a private launch) and you never
heard such jabbering in your life,
though each boat had an interpreter
to try to get you to go to their hotel,
we got in a Buss and went to our ho
tel [Pasaje] and had ccffee, stayed
there all the morning.
That evening we went out on an
excarsion to a pine apple We
drove all over the entire plantation.
The man who lived on the plantation
lived in a house built on the good old
Queen Anne style, the roof was made
of pine apple tops and they lived on
a ground floor. AVe eat pine apples
until we could hardly get away.
Like the way th® hotel is run
here, coffee 7-9 Breakfast 92,
Tinner, 5 9 no eupper, aud you
bit they serve things in good style
and I am always ready to eat or
sleep.
Next day we visited the largest
cigar and cigarette factory there,
saw their cemetery, went next to
the Governor’s, Winter home;
”verytheng was so lovely there I
'bought 1 would not miud to stay
a day or two with the Governor,
(if he wished me to)
W e went to the Cathedral, it is
300 years old. There is where Co
lumbus is buried, I saw his tomb,
vent to the theatre that night it
was no good.
The next day we went to the
bull fight and you bst it was a
tight, and a fight to the finish. The
first thing, 53 men come.in dressed
as Turks and drilled with guns,the
caplam did not call out, out would
sound his horn and the manoeu
vring was perfect.
Next, the matadors rode out on
i fine horse, and the governor-gen
oral threw the kejs to him to un
lock the bull stable. He caught it
in his hat, then the pickadores
come out (they are the ones that
tease the bulls) then the men < n
horseback with their poles with
hooks on the end of them, these
are to keep the bulls away from
their horses
The bulls have been kept in dark
ness for ten days pr vioua to this
when the bull conies, one of the
men on horseback sticks a sharp
spear with a red rosette on the end
of it, right in the middle es the
bulls back so he cannot get it off
then the teasers flirt their red fi igs
in his face until he becomes en
raged, then the fight is on.
The poor little ponies are blind-'
folded and pushed in on the bulls
until they are killed. The men on
the horses try with their long poles
to keep them off the ponies, but
they are killed or some of them
are.
Then a man with a stick about
two feet long with something likc
a Roman candle on the end of it,
the bull then rushes at him, he
stands perfectly still until the
bull gets right at him, he then
jumps up and sticks the sharp
pointed thing in the bull’s neck.
[ could not see how h« got out of
she way of the bull, he did it B<>
quick. •
Then the matador® comes with a
bright red fhig and a long sword
and they fight until tne bull it
killed. The fight continued until
five bulls and two horses were kill
ed. Will write you about the
dance® and various other sights I
saw, King Sparks •

The Executive Committee of
Georgia Democracy
WILL MEET ON MARCH 3RD
In the city of Atlanta, cliairman Al
len Fort of .Vinricus Issues tlu
Hon. Allen Fort, chairman of the
state democratic executive commit
tee, issued a call yesterday for a meet
ing of the committee iu Atlanta on
Saturday, the 3rd day of March, at 10
o’clock a. m. at thj headquarters el
state campaign committee -
Judge Fort makes an urgent ap
peal for a full attendance of the com
mittee, which is (jailed to ta] e in*o
consideration matters of general par
ty interest, aud which will no doub>
take preliminary steps to put the sta'e
lie campaign in motion.
‘ I trust that the meeting es the
committee will be fully attended,’
said Judge Fort. “I have called the
meeting at a time which, I think, wil]
be most convenient for most of tilt
members of th® committee. A good
many of the courts of the stale wil J
doubtless be in session after the firs 1
Men ayjin M i.c , n nd I have thefefoife
fixed the call of the of the state com
mittee for the Saturday before the
first Monday. This will probably give
every member of the committee op
portunity to be present, and it is itn
portant that there shou 1 ! be a full
meeting, as matters of in portanci
are to be considered.
“The opposition to the democracy
is already active, and we must begii
to get things in shape for the cam
paign. There will be no trouble about
sustaining G corgi /s splendid demo
cratic majority, if the party is as wide
awake and as active as usual. The
state committee will discuss the sit
nation when it assembles, and it will
of course, take such steps as it deems
advisable in arranging for such par
ty action as will be necessary I wrott
some time ago to all the members ( f
of tho committee, asking the opinion
of each as to what time the coiMiuitte(
shoufd meet, and the date announces
jf the call harmonizes with t! e vie <’r
of those from whom I have heard. Let
aae again urge a full attendance oi
the committees, for it is important
that as many of its members as possi
ble should be on hand.

JUMPED THE TRAIN.
And Bailiff Lawrence of Cedar
town Followed Suit.
The passengers on the Nortl
bound CR&C passenger train
witnessed a thrilling scene this
forenoon, near Lake Creek station
A few days ago a cullud gem
man named Boon eloped from this
city with Mrs. George Speer col.
also of the Hill City.
The gay couple were finally lo
cated and captured last night al
Cedartown, Sheriff Moore was no
ticed by wire and as the down
train had departed, he wired the
Cedartown officers to bring th
elopers to Rome this morning,
They were marched aboard the
train by Bailiff Lawrence of the
“Iron City,” When near Lake
Creek, aud while the train was
running at full usual speed, the
bailiff left his prisoners a moment
and went into the next car.
Boon seized the opportunity and
stepped quickly out on the plat
form, and sprang off. He fell all
over the ground and rolled about
75 yards, but finaly sprang to his
feet and made off into the woods.
The Bailiff followed suit. The
woman was brought on to Rome
and is now sweetly resting in the
county Hotel—She craves but one
Boon on earth—and if the Bailiff
can he will return him to her.
