Union Council No. 549 received an official visit Friday evemng from the cabinet. Re- marks were made by cach member o1 the cab- inet and other visitors. The president of the council, C. 8. Arno.d, was presented with a large bouquet of choice roses. At the close of tho meeting all were invited to participate in banquet which had been prepared st Nor- maan's, PRETTY LONESOME WORK That of the Lighthouse-Keapers Along the Florida Keys. More ships’ bones lie on the outer reef girdling the keys of South Fiorida than perhaps upon any other shoals, excepting Hatteras, in this country. Captain Thomas 8. E-lls, sgent of the Lloyds in this city, has'a record of shipwrecks on the coast of Florida for many vears, al the aggregate of losses foots up surpr ingly tigh in the millions of dollars. The Strait of Florida bas long been an ocean highway for steamers and sailing- ships bound from foreign and domestic ports to New Orleans, Central and South America. In fact, the outlet of the great Gulf of Mexico, surrounded by rich and ertile countries, has besn this narrow strait between the keys and Cuba, through which tbe Gulf Stream passes. Consequently it is not surprising that 1n this narrow strait, the caldron where the West Indian hurricanes generate, with its concealed reefs of cruel corsl, thou- sands of vessels bave ended their careers, and more than thonsands of men have lost their lives. Few sailors pass through the strait without being re- minded of the brave men and the brave sbips whose skeletons whiten the sands beneath the surface of the limpid green waters, and some of them, as they watch the storm scud fly across the moon and listen to the moan of the reef buoy min gling with the creaking of the spars of the spars of the ship, perhaps have good ground to believe that this place is haunted by demons of the deep and the sonls of deaa comrades. It is no wonder that the inhabitants of the keys, the ‘“Conchs,” have grown rich in wrecking. In these latter days, how- ever, there are fewer wrecks in the strait than there were some vears ago, for Uncle Sam has marked the contour of the dan- gerous h dden reef with a fine system of lighthouses, each with a light of separate and distinct character, o that the mari- ner may know how to shape his course in the blackest and stormiest of nights. The job of lighthouse-keeper is about the loneliest way of making & !iving in the catalogue of occupation! The mental strain has proven so great in several in- stances that the keeper grew melancholy to such u aegree that he ended it by blow- ing out his brains. The system is now so arranged that the sudden darkening of an important reef lamp by a suicide’s bullet is not probable, for two keepers are sta- tioned in each light for company’s sake as well as to guard against sickness. These two keepers of the key lights for two months on a stretch seidom see any faces except their own and converse with nobody except each other. The lisht- houses are, on an average, twenty miles from land, and ships pass from ten | 1o twenty miles away. The light- | houses are built of four great iron pil- | lars, founded deep in the coral and tower- ing toward each other. Platforms of steel bind the pillars together, sleeping and storage rooms are constructed and the lamp crowns all. The place is riot perti- ous, but in a storm must be what the colored folks call ‘lonesome” to an un- canny degree. After two months of service the keeper has & month ashore to spend with his family or how he pieases. The families of the reef lightkeepers are not allowed in the houses, They are looked upon as a d straction that might cause the keeper to neglect his duty. Most of the keepers have developed into omnivorous readers. Some of them, how- ever, have pursued a sieady purpose, and one we have in mind prepared himself for admittance to the bar, and has since be- come ona of Key West's most eminent iawyers, He has a dramatic manner of expression, and learned it, #o 'tis saia, by | “noratin” to the winds and to the wave: and his siogle companion.—Florid: Times-Unio e DANGEROUS TO OPPOSE HIM. How & Georgla Statesman Overcame Unfriendly Votera, Phil Cook was one of the old-school politicians very much on the Davy Crockett and Abraham Lincoin order, says the Atlanta Constitution. He knew how to appeal to theé vopulace wilh a zood story or an apt application, and his | repertoire of anecdotes was replenisned | from time to time so that he had always | something wise or witty to give to the wool-hat brigade when occasion de- manded. On one occasion he was running for Congress for the second term in succes- sion, and in stumping his district be struck Coffee County, He had got his bearings in aavance and was loaded for bear as well as for recreant suffrage sling- ers. When he mounted the rosirum he cast his eagie eye over the assemblage and dis- covered that there werea number of col- ored men present. He began his speech in his usual off-hand style, and directed many pertinent appeals to the negroex. He bad been iniormed ot the fact in ad- vance that two of them who had voted against him in the previous race had either met with a violent death or got into trouble. “I have learned,” said he, ‘‘that there were two colored men who voled against me in the last eiection—Jim Jones and Bob Thompson. Now, I had never done anything to el'her of these men to cause them to go back on me that way. Does any one present know anything of the | whereabouts of Jim Jones, who voted | against me on that occasion? Speak out, if there is any one who knows. i ““Yassir,”” replied an old negro in the crowd, *I'knows, gineral. He's dead.” “Do you know what killed him ?"" “‘Lightnin’ struck 'im an’ kilt’im dead,” repiied the o!d darky. ““Well, that looks bad. Now, does any body know what became of Thom son, who voted againsi me? There were only two men in Coffee County, mind you, who haa the bad grace to oppose me in that race. Jim Jones is dead—now, what about Thompson? “Wny, gineral,” spoke up another larky, ‘‘he’s in the chaingang. Dey sont 'im dar fo’ stealin’ er hawg.” “Ab, ha! So one of my opponents is dead and the other is in the chaingang. That is a mighty bad showing, boys, and don’t you «ee how dangerous it is to vote against me?” Tip Harrison is the authority for the statement that Coffee County went solid for Phil Cook after that every time he offered and that all creation couldn’t have turned those negroes aiter his iorcible il- lustration of the danger attendant upon disloyalty to him and his cause.
