PAGE EIGHT SENATOR FLETCHER ON FLORIDA'S WELFARE 24.-—United Fletcher is sec- Jacksonvilie, Nov. States Senator Duncan U. home again. after attending the s ond hearing of the Lorimer investi- Lating committes-at- € hicngo and the sessions of the Mississippi to Atlan- tig Inland Waterway Association at| Montgomery, Ala., which closed ye: s- | terday. Despite the strain he has been un- der since the sessions of the Lorimcr investigating committee opened in (‘hicago, October 10, he looked the picture of health when seen ‘n his| office this morning. | “It is good to get iome and enjoy the air and Florida sunshine” he| said, as he sat at his desk cl~se to an open window. I tell yc I have seen more sunshine in the fow hours, since | arrived home from Pirming- i ham over the Atianti: Coast Line this morning, than | saw all the rime { was in Chicago. FUTURE FO2 FLOELRA “Florida has a great fuiure, and the trend of colonization is now this way," said the Senator, ¢nthusias- tically, “‘and the futuic the state is assured. “When | reached home, however, | learned of the crimes and murders which have been onamitted here within the past few months, and | tell you they will undermine ('\c' good reputation Jacksoryville now has all through the country —a r-puti- tion that it has taken many years to build up. STOP CRIME WAVE. +sSomething must be done to put, || stop to this wave of crime, even if of e ——————————e | Marri ( pleasure to get oyt a2 fronts the city is a serious one, and; I hope you will say for me that un- less measures are speedily taken to rid the city of criminals the city “lll receive a blow to its reputation that will require a long time to heal. Fortunately, word of the crimes here | has not yet reached the Northern, cities, although it is sure to do so if| something is not speedily done.” ! A A R S o ! CUPID'S DOMAIN IN BERLIN age Registry Office in That City Is Decorated With Symbols of Wedlock. The marriage registry office is in all countries usually a bare and unsenti- | mental scene, with its undecorated ‘nlln. superannuated green baize cov- ered table and general air of stuff- ness and parchment. Modern Berlin | has introduced a new fashion by set- ting the stage, so to speak, in bar- mony with the performance—or is it drama’—to be enacted thereon. At the very door the bridegroom’s I hand grasps a dove-shaped handle to procure him and his blushing compan- fon admittance and in the dove’s bill hang two intertwining rings. The small passage leading to the office ocontains a smiling statue of Amor with his bow and arrows, while on all sides, both in the passage and the office, is the eye met by the symbols of wed- lock: rings, roses, hearts, locked hands and children's heads. Even the ornaments of the lamps and stove are designed in the same spirit, while on one of the office walls s a large bronze tablet with verses appropriate to the occasion. In such surroundings, remarks a writer in one of the papers, it must be almost a married.—European il ithens, we have to employ one hundred vol- | Letter to the New York Sun. unteers.

THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., NOV. 2 s e Atlanta, Ga., Nov. porters and bell boys were thrown in- to a panic at the New Kimball house | when they learned that a live rattle- snake was in one of the hotel hcd rooms. The snake was the property | of Marshall Dial, a young ‘man of Ga., who caught it at Chim- ney Rock, North Carolina, a couplc bf months ago, and has made a pet| of it. He says the snake rattles ev-| ery morning to awaken him, and that he uses it instead of an alarm clock. Be that as it may, he keeps the | snake in a box on his pillow, and sometimes lets it out to run around the room. He has been requested by the hotel management to move his strange pet to other quarters. FOR RENT. Fine nine-room house, foot of Tennessee avenue and facing Lake; Morton. G.

G. 1he Range of Vision. Data have been gathered in Ger- many with reference to the distance at which persons may be recognized |by their faces and figures, says the Scientific American. If one has good eyes, the Germans claim, one cannot recognize a person whom he has seen but once before at a greater distance than 25 meters (82 feet). If the per son is well known to one, one may recognize him at from 50 to 100 me- ters, and if it is a member of one’s family, even at 150 meters. The whites of the eyes may be seen at from 27 to 28 meters, and the eyes themselves at 72 to 73 meters. The different parts of the body and the slightest movements are distinguish- able at 91 meters. The limbs show at 182 meters. At 54C meters a moving man appears only as an indistinct form, and at 720 meters, 2,361.6 feet, the movements of the body are no longer visible.
