The Sugar Trust, the Standard Oil Trust, the Welsh Tin Plate Trust, the English Salt Trust, and other combinations of the kind, are vigorously denounced, and it is a : subject of controversy whether there are more trusts in Eng land than America, and whether pro tection 'or iree' trade fosters them.

S Being: in a Good Fishing Locality, He Will Probably Bring Back Two Belts He Is Right Among the Rich. Clear Water Harbor. It is a glorious comfort this winter weather to bask in the s.unshine of the gulf by day and luxuriate in the moonlight on the waves by night. No wonder that Tom Ochil tree was inspired to say to.the.yankee lady at Galveston, who was in ecstasies over our moonlight: "Ah, madame, you should have seen our moons before the war." AVe dp not know what kind of weather you have had. the past week in north Georgia, but it must have been right bitter for it is cool enough to en- joy fires in the early morn, and these I people are apologizing for it as though they thousrht the weather would hurt our feelings. This delightful climate is a good part of their capital stock, and always will be. Money is nothing compared with good health, and I ru minated over this when all night long I heard the consumptives coughing in their berths on the sleeper as we came down. They were coming to Florida to die, or perhaps to prolong their lives. That the climate is good for all lung diseases or bronchial affections I have no doubfc, for the grip has certain ly left me since my arrival, and the little orphan, for whose sake we came, seems like a new chil'd. She is bright and happy all the time, and has ceased to couh. We were all caught in a harR rain at Tampa, and I was alarmed for the child, but no harm came of it. Yesterday we came over here from Tampa by private conveyance, thirty mi'es. It is only half that distance by a straight line, but Tampa bay was be tween and we had to circle its northern boundary. We could have traveled by rail, but it was 120 miles by Lacoochee and ten hours' lay . over there, or we could have gone down to St. Petersburg by boat and from there by rail next morniag, and so we chose the piney woods, and were delighted with the journey. It is a beautiful road, about eight feet wide and quite firm for a sandy country. It is wide enough for the houses are ten miles apart, and we passed but one vehicle th.3; entire jour ney. At some places the lake is in view, and at others there are small .lakes, with white cranes adorning them for ornaments. AVe saw fox squirrels and quail along the road and ran r pon two buzzards who were greedily dis secting a monster rattlesnake, ' that somebody had killed the day before. The girls wanted the rattles, but the driver had no knife and I would not put mine into the venomous carcass. Its head had not been mashed and was as large as a biscuit, nor was there any sign to show how it had been killed. No tracks of feet, no stick, no stone. If the buzzards did notkill it it must have been shot from a vehicle, for we did see some Tampa hunters, one of whom told us he shot a rattler that had seventeen rattles, and left him in the road. The one we saw had only seven, but rattles do increase in num bers as the story is repeated. A day's journey through these piney woods is very monotonous. We longed for a change of scenery, s bill, a creek a few i rocks or stones, a noise, a habitation, ! with dogs to bark. At one house where there was a luxuriant orange grove we stopped to enquire the "Cvay, and the whole family came to the f iont. I have no idea that the children bad seen any strangers in an a" month, and it was a feast to them?? The house was a miser- ; able hovel, but it was a shelter, and that is.ail4.hat. the average piney woods settlervants. But, as we neared the gulf, we ..found some pleasant homes, and a better class of people. I said to our h.ost, "what is the name of the man who lives three and a half miles from here-iii a large white house? He came to the gate and took his hat off to the ladiesi as we stopped to ask some ques tions. "Oh, that is little Dan McMullen," said he. "There is little Dan and; big Dan and Unncle Dan, and some other Dan, and there is Jim McMullen and Jimmy McMullen, and a few more, but no Jim Jams. They are all clever peo ple, who came here before the war, and have multiplied and named most of the boy children Dan or Jim." Clear Water is a hamlet of three or four hundred people. It is on a bluff .that is from twenty to thirty feet above the water, and overlooks the little islands and the dark green waters of the gulf that lie between and beyond them. This bluff is ornamented with a deni growth of moss-covered oaks and hickories, while just behind them are . the beautiful homes of wealthy people who winter there. All around are orange trees.-laden with golden fruit fruit that is not enough for sale, but abundant for home use. From almost everv home there Js a plank stairway descending to the beach; and a walk to a bath house" that is a hundred yards out in the. water. Boats are near at hand for rowing or riding or sailing at your pleasure. The wharf is still far ther from the shore, and from there you can see the porpoises turning thfeir sum mersaults among the schools ofj mullet. One of them was shot this morning and ' brought ashore a huge black monster, with a snout and teeth just like a; long- j nosed hog. Tarpons are caught here. and sharks are not uncommon in the passes between the islands. But these sharks are not maneaters, though I heard that a boy made a narrow escape from one last summer. Boys frequently go in bathing near the islands while the sharks are in sight, and it is easy to drive them away. In fact, every thing is afraid of human kind, except when driven by some hard necessity. I don't believe in the horrible narratives about lions and bears and sharks and snakes.

All this region for some miles around' is rich in soil much richer than the piney woods. In fact, the pines are scarce, and in their stead are seen oaks and hickories and palmettoes and a growth of chapparel that is almost impene trable. ' Everything seems strange to those who have not sited Florida. A stroll along this bluff, with the beautiful houses and groves behind you, and the green sea of waters before you, and the shell-covered beach below you, with the balmy breath of the tropics inflating your lungs, one feels like he has just found the fairy land that we read about in childhood. I think that I shall buy a lot here and get somebody with Alad din's lamp to build mo a house in a 'night. No, I won't, either, for I am happy where I live, and don t see any- body who is happier even in the gorge ous halls 01 lamps tsay Hotel, it is well to admire everything that is beautiful, but fine homes and gardens and sylvan views do not bring contentment, though they may conceal the skeleton that is in the closet. As we journeyed from Lake City to Tampa, along the Florida Cen tral railroad, we were charmed with the lakes and groves that alternated that beautiful country. When we rod around Tampa with our hospitable friend, Mr. Fall, we were charmed again. Our stay at the Palmetto house was made pleasant in every way, and now we. are delighted here. But witt all this I am not happy delightod.but not happy, for my home is broken, my loved ones scattered, and when I return it will still be broken, for some yill re? main here, and that little child who is my comfort and delight will soon forgel me. I sing the old song "This world is all a fleeting show For man's illusion given." Biix A HP. LADIES' NAMES. Tbe Good Old Common Ones Still Amoaj the Preferred. "Fancy names" are not as populai with ladies as might be supposed. The question having arisen in conversation the other day it was referred, offhand to a catalogue of Smith' college. Th Boston Transcript reports the . result: "In that institution there are six hun dred and ninety-six . girls. ' from all parts of the country, representing undoubtedly the rich and the poor, but more particularly the thoroughly American class of people who are neither rich nor poor. In this catalogue the Marys, Alices, Mables, Helens, Berthas, Graces, Ediths and Eliza beths were all counted np. Thes were found to be much the most com mon names, and those who believe that women in general are still pos sessed of as much common sense as they ever were, in spite of the f ond ness of some women for new and pretty names, were pleased to learn from this list that one of the most beautiful of all names, the name oi Iary, is st'ill most commonly borne by young women.. There are in Smith college no fewer than sixty-eight Marys, not counting middle names. The next name in popularity was the beautiful pne of Alice, which had twenty-seven representatives. Then came Elizabeth, also sufficiently old fashioned, with twenty -five. The next in Tank was Mable, twenty-two; Grace, twelty-one, and Helen, twenty -one. Seventeen girls bore the English name of Edith old but newly revived and sixteen the pretty name of Bertha, which we have borrowed from the Germans, The Dorothys apparently had but a single representative." It is certainly gratifying to learn that the "Mamie" fad has about disappeared, and the sweet, dignified "old-fashioned" names are once more popular. He Escaped. "Scotty Smith" is the nickname of a man living in southern '; Africa whose adventures and escapades would fill a volume. As a "veldt" map he is Un surpassed. In "Gun and Camera in Southern Africa" the author gives an account of one of his many escapes. During the troubles in 1SS3. 1 think, he was surprised a'nd captured by the marauding Boers and taken to theii headquarters at Eooi Grond, neai Mafeking. Ke was condemned to be shot on the following day and was fastened with ropes inside a hut at some distance from the camp-fire. Dur ing the night he slipped his bonds, crept to the place where the Boei horses were 6tabled, saddled and bridled two of the best of then and made his escape from tinder the very roses of the Dutchmen. A day or two afterward he met a Boer, who was personally unacquainted with him, who informed him that he was looking for "Scotty Smith." "Well," said Scotty in Dutch, "I'm looking for Scotty Smith, too; we'll go together." They rode together for some hours and then Scotty found an opportunity, slipped his man and betook himself to a safer part of the country. TWICE LYNCHED.

A negro named Jeff Crawford was com mitted to jail today for the murder of W. P. jBlackburn, a well-to-do white man in this county last Sunday night. Blackburn's body was found Jin a thick wood Monday , morning. There were two bullet holes through his head and his jugular vein had been severed.' ,A pistol and wagon were found near the body and identified as the prop erty of the nesrro. ' Twenty dollars that Blackburn was known to have in his pocket was missing and 8 of the money was found in the posses sion of the negro. It . is believed that Crawford lured Blackburn to the woods on pretense of taking him to a whisky wagon and . murdered him for his-money. Several negroes living in a cabin near by heard cries and heard Blackburn say, ."Oh, Lord!" but were afraid to go but to see what was the matter. - - READY FOR HIM.

Blay-j ton, Jackson and Pearson- wentpn' their first hunt for a blind tiger, and! as a result, Henry Palmer was killed: instantly and Constable John Blayton languishes with a mortal wound in his back. ! The men went over to Palmer house to arrest him for keeping a blind tiger. Constables Jackson, Blayton' and Pearson knocked at the door and' told Palmer to open. Palmer came to tbe door, and Blayton laid hands on; the negro and told him to consider himself under arrest. Palmer jerked back and acted as though he was go-, ing to pull a pistol. Just then a wo-" man came in with a gun and Palmer told her to shoot. She cocked both' barrels and leveled the gun at Jack son. He grabbed the gun before she had time to pull the trigger. Blayton and the negro were scuffling near, the door, when Blayton told one of his comrades to shoot. A shot was fired. The load entered Blayton's back. Blayton then drew bis pistol, placing the muzzle just back of Palmer's left ear, and fired.. The negro fell dead without a struggle. It is evident that Blayton was shot by one of his own party. The house was full of men, who ran away when the first shot was fired. Great excitement prevailed in the city all day. The colored people are organizing a mob to kill the consta bles, and it is feared that the Hamp ton Guards will have to be called out. YELLOW FEV ER AT RIO.
