West Palm Beach, Fla. May 20.— Henry M. Flagler, aged 83 railroad ond hotel magnate, died at his home here at 10:20 o'clock this morning. During his illness of several weeks, he lost practically all of his faculties. This burial will be in the Mauso- leum at St. Augustine, in the yard of Memorial church, which he gave to the Presbyterians. His Great Achievement, Of Mr Flagler's achievement in building the Oversea railroad, which has drawn world-wide attention to Florida, it has well been said that at first engineers and capitalists stcod aghast. The light that showefl‘ bim the way to Key West dazzled the brightest and appallel the strongest intellects. Who can describe the con- struction? Why attempt it? The won- te Maggiore, the Aqua Claudia, lhv: Port du Gard were man's first mes- sage in arch building. Henry M. Flagler’s railroad in the construction | ol which he enlarged, extended, am- plified that message, is man's last worq on that marvelous style of con- struction, and will echo and re-echo through the ages to come. Where the Romans built one arch, Le constructed a score; where they crossed streams, he bridged arms of the ocean; where they went over valleys, he covered surging waters; where they encountered hills, he fcund channels; where they met with barriers, he came to quicksands; where the precipice halted them, the quagmire threatened them; they cut through rocks, they filled chasms; otstacles that barred their way they gripped with iron claws, and made them do the work of the master; his obstacles—the bog, the quagmire, the quicksands—evaded, eluded, shifted swallowed up tons of con. crete with their capacious maws and ravenous stomachs. To conquer these obstacles it re- quired twenty-five thousand men, fleets of sail vessels, naphtha launch- WOOCHOPPERS | THREATER WLSON (Ly Associated Press ) Newark, N.

Why attempt to give in detail the history of the building of this road? Only in an epic poem may it be ade- Quately described. The Greeks be- fore Troy suffered no greater hard. ships, exhibited no greater heroism. practiced no greater self-denial, en- dured no more discomforts, met with no greater terrors, experienced no nore annoyances, bore no greater Lurdens, showed no greater courage, than the man who built this road. Ity story is told in deaths from i drowning, lives crushed out by mass- es of iron and concrete bodies blown to atoms by dynamite, swept away by hurricanes, engulfed in surging wa- ters, Kverything claimed its tribute, the sea, the wind, digease, exposure 1o burning suns and drenching rains, and more ravaging than all-—rum-— liquid drops o1 hell- —~destroyed body ansi soul alike! And through it all oue master mind planned, directed, controlled: Everything that went into the con- struction of this work obeyed his will, and took its place by his com- mand in the grand scheme which cul- winated in a feat of engincering which seldom has been equalled, and will never be excelled. ivery pile that was driven, every fcot of water covered, every con- crete column that reared its head from its coral foundation forty feet below the sea, obeyed the will of one man, who was thinking only of how mankind was to be benefited, and his ccuntry saved in some great foreiga war, through his achievement. He was humanity crystallized, pa. triotism embodied! As Henry M. Flagler was the brain Joseph R. Par- rott was the arm, Memdlth the handg, and Krome, Wilson, Coe, Cotton, Smiley and Cook the fingers, that did the work the brain conceived. The work is done! Let it speak for itself, now and forever! MILITANTS THREATEN BOLF COURSE (By Associ' tc1 Prese.)

[ Experiments Being Made With : Papaya. Given a tropical fruit as big as cantaloupes that will mature so the Pplanter gets his first crop in four teen months, and given a tree that will bear from fifteen to thirty ot these products, with 100 trees to the acre, say the knowing experts, one bas a rather valuable plantation, That is the sort of a fruit that has been developed by the department of agriculture and is now being grown in Florida for the northern market, It is a product that has never been on the market in the north, and, in feet, has been used very little in the south, because there have been com- paratively few good trees. It is not something new, for it has been cul- tivated in this country for about 300 years, but they have just found out how to produce the good fruit plenti- fully. It is the papaya from which these Breat things are hoped. It is shaped like a cantaloupe and colored like one of the solid green watermelons. But thepe the resemblance ceases. It cuts like a cantaloupe in that it has a hollow inside with loose, small 8eceds that can be scraped out. The seeds are small, black and hard like B. B. shot. The rind is thin as a kid glove and the meat of a bright orange color. The flesh is so soft it has te be eaten with a spoon. It has a mild, sweet, rather indeterminate taste, ex- cept where it is decidedly ripe ant the rind has begun to yellow. Then it has a flowery, fragrant taste that fa almost an odor, quite pleasant, but rather indescribable. The reason the papaya has mot been more widely known heretofors is that it was always raised from seed and there was no way of telling in advance whether the trees would produce good fruit or not fruit at all. In fact, with tests of seedlings, about 93 per cent of them proved (Continued *ox Page 5.) B - o i A St ey e
