S BILL ARl'tlK-TTICK. i I Iut two fishermen nnloading a cargo of salted fish irom their boat at Tampa. Tbe barrels were all marked for Charleston, in terriewed these ; fisherman. , and they told rue they caught aa many as -70,000 i4 a week: ; down ; at Sarasota, bay. Now I am done with fish stories.; X left my. folks fishing at elearwater; bat they ere Dot bo wild about it now and will soon get tired, I saw a girl hang an enormous trout and ho held him and played him around -pn til he got tired and a boat was ' sent out to secure him.. guess he weighed fifteen ponnds and others guessed twelve and ten, but when be waa put on the scales he came down to nine. An old fisherman remarked that it was a. Bin to weigh a fish, for they always tall short. , - Tampa is lively. The hotels are filling up, trade is good and money circulating just like it nsed to before the panic. Most of this money comes from abroad and is quickly scattered around. Every other house is either a hotel or a boarding house. . T.he strangers come from every where tip north and many from Georgia and Ten nessee, u I came down with a man and his wife, who were f ron north Miohigan, and 'bad never been south. It entertained me to Bee their .amazement, for he said he had just put ' np. 180 tons of ice before he left home. They are delighted with ' the country and with the people. - He said every body? was so kind and naborly and that he had no idea of finding such good people down south. I think that his wife waa almost afraid to oome, but she is in bad health and she had just as well risk the rebels in Florida as death af home, and so she oame. She has improved much within a week. Tbe Tampa Bay hotel, where the millionaires congregate, .has not yet filled np, but will be by the middle of the ' month. It is a magnificent house and so bewild ers me that I feel' solemn In its beautiful apartments and don't dare to talk in my usual tone .of voice? I Everybody , else seems to feel fW too Jor it is not like a hotel. Whiie yon are walking on velvet carpets that cost $5 a yard, or sitting on r hairs that cost . $50 apiece, and see paintings, on the walls that coat from $100 to'$5,000 and the whole building in a blaze of heavenly lights and delicious music charming the ear and de lightful,: odors perfaming the: sir and the Servant all iii livery, a common man feels ; like the old woman at the circus for the first fame in er life. When the graud procession' c of beautiful horses, with their riders in Spangled garments,- came marching ; in, she said : "John, John, it's, more .like tbe kingdom1 of heaven than any" thing 1 ever expected to see in this' world.rr Now, with all that, I was invited to leotnre in the mnsio ball of this grand structure,; and I did it. - It waa just' large enough for my audience and I am pleased to say that I was able to oonceal my embarrassment. Not that I was afraid of, Jbe people' who sat before me, but somehow I never feel at ease, in a house that is so much finer than mine ow.i. It is art, not nature, that makes me timid. ' Mr, Fiant "must be a wonderful man to plan snob a grand system of railways and hotels and parka and steamship lines and yet he makes no great noise in the world. For years and years he baa been perfecting this systemi and every, branch of it moves along like elookwork. Thousands ot men are employed by him and his enterprises have already added many millions to the value of property in Florida. This beautiful city of Tarra is a monument to his genius. Hote than half a century ago Richard Ilenry Wilde wrote a little poem, beginning "My life is like the summer rose," and the last; ver3 was - i . : -! J "My Ufa i like a trinto that feet . liavo loft no Tampa's desert strand,.

It is just fine enough and good enough, for anybody, , It over looks one of tbe prettiest lakes I have yet seen, and :the town is surrounded by many others. This is quite a railroad center and might have been a city if Tampa was farther of. It will be a city yet, tor such beautiful - locations surroundings ' are not ; commoo, even in Florida. . As old Father Dobbins used to Bay. ."The-Cre ator has quit making land, but He keeps, on making people," and Lakeland will be found out before lonsri ::v' r- -j :t, . s; y-Z -'' I have been to Eartowj the center of the phosphate region. Thirty companies bare organized within the county , and millions of dollars invested in land and machinery. ' There is capital here from Boston, New York, Balti more, Richmond, Pittsburg, Char leston, Savannah, Augusta - and Atlanta. But all is not srold that glitters, i Of these thirty ;, com panies only sixteen are in actual operation. Of these sixteen only seven - have made any money. There is phosphate enough, but everything depends upon manage ment and location. I visited one plant six miles in the country that is being operated by a- re ceiver, v What a business this has got to be I-; The receiver I -There ought to be a book upon it i jrist like the books for lawyers and dootors and other prbfessioas. It should be made e textbook in the schools. '' I think I would name it The Lawyers Harvest, tne Credi tors Grave and the Stockholders' Funeral" ' Bat j- this J phosphate busines ' is yet in its infancy, and improved methods ,of mining and washing will soon be invented. The Pernvan islands are exhaust ed, and now nature unlocks an- other storehouse in Florida : that seems snffiuieut ior centuries to come. J" What is it ?" . I asked. "la it animal vegotatle' 15r "minv oral ? It is a mixture ot all, tney say, but chiefly mineral. ' I found I some sharks teeth; They abound in ail oi auaras wotu iruiu one-fourth of - an inch to ; four inches in length. ' Some of these antidiluvian . inonsterB must have been as large as young whales, but bo w in the world . did they all congregate on 1 this .: peninsular when the great convulsion bame that upheaved it ? Verify '? the Work! is full of . mysteries, and we know nothing "hardly. Fortunes have been, made here bv the few who are shrewd and bold and who had goodjudgment and foresight. George W Soott has sold part of his holdings for fabulous sums. He ' owned miles of ' phosphate lands on Peau river. Mr. Coding ton, the genial, energetic vankee mayor tit Boston,' bought, largely at front, $5 to $10 an acre and sold for ten times that amount. 1 was his guest. "I fit ag'in yon," said he, "but have oome down from Michigan to live with yon and I found a cordal welcome: It the railroads would reduce tramspor tation to 1 cent a mile thousands of good,, hardy people from the north would come down, first to see, and then to stay, and - the result in a few years would ba perfect harmony between the sections." ,--- What eyery town in the south needs is a leader a man of nerve and enterprise. ": Oar people will follow, but they fear to lead. Mr. Codington is a power In Bartow and wiU soon have waterworks and an electrio plant and street cars and another railroad. He has been a great traveler and lived some years in Peru while Henry Meiggs was building rail roads there for the government. He designed and built a gas plant near the apex of the Andes moun tains for the sole purpose of lighting the tunnel that Meiggs bored for his wondHrful railroad a road that cost $25,000,000. That gas plant is 16,000 feet above the sea level. Everything for the railroad and the gas plant was cariied up clll roads oh the backs of mulos C'JO pounds to the tnule. Just think of it 1 Yankee g. ijiuR, yaukee pluck was behind it all. IL-y are a wonderful peo- "WLen a ysrnkee ii good he is very f idon.l, Lut when be is 1.. 1 I "i i ' ' orr-.d."

The most wonderful sermon I ever heard," said a business man yesterday, was delivered by a colored man- in South Carolina, in a slave pen which 'was being utilized as a church shortly after the war., Ji-heppened to drop in to this large colored gathering of colored people one night and was informed that a new preacher was about to be tried." ' The minister arose back 'of a polpit that had been improvised . from ; a " barrel turned bottom upward, on whioh was a lighted cattle stuck in a bottle. He began, to reaa the Bible, bat stumbled at every word spelling some throughout , before pronouncing them. A man in the rear said, "Go ahead with your sermon," and the preacher ceased reading. He stood np at full length, and in. the dim, flickering light of the lone candle looked more like an apparition than a man.' His subject was : Tbe Judgment" Here came in that wonderful imaginative quality for whioh the colored race is noted. In going about during the war he had ' beoome . imbued ' with ' the military : spirit, so be began by giving a vivid word picture of the hosts of heaven lying in their tents asleep the night before the judgment day S Then' he .; worked, up to a point where the bugle soonded to prepare, for the de-. scent upon the sinful world. He pictured the heavenly hosts hur riedly running out of their tents to form in line ot battle with ' the Great Commander iA front. Then he described the Btilloess that reigned when all was ready await ing the command to advance. By this time the whole congregation, including myselr, H were - sitting nerves strained, exoited in the extreme, and asthe preacher' de-; scribed the tram; tramp, tramp Oi ; the mighty host -approaching the earth; I saw several members ter rified, get under the benches. ; He then followed ' a courier - coming from the distance, who reported "Death on 1 a white horse," . as having appeared tar away. When the preacher described the Com mander detailing a squad, of his soldiers to 'go capture Death a terrible moan came from the an-: dience.' Finally; he brought the! army Of heaven down to earth , before day break,' and bad them them resting on their arms await-! Ing Gabriel's trumpet, He pict-1 ard at length ' how quiet every thing was, then putting bis - hand to his month he imitated the bugle 011, whieh so terrified and com pletely t nnstrnng his audience that the greater portion V of it arose and rushed out of the build ing. 1 In all my life I- have never heard a sermon that had such a startling effect upon a congrega tion.", .

Enjoyment ran high, and he especially remarked one man who seemed to be doing more .than bis share of talking, and, as a .: natural consequence getting into more than his . share of - altercations. ' He ' had at, his heels a shepherd dog. ' The cor respondent continues t -'r';'V Late in the evening I found the man on the edge of the town in a truly dilapidated condition.

' , A correspondent of the Balti moie Manafacturer's Becord has interviewed Mr. John H. Inman on the subject ot the, Wilson bill and its effect upon business in the south, He says that if the bill be passed in its present shape with out amendment, the business men of the South would be justified in renouncing their democracy. He then proceeds to suggest what the amendment should be with regard to the pig iron, coal and sugar schedules, but after his first re mark it is not worth while to pay mnoh attention to what Mr. In man says. ' It is to be hoped he has not been reported correctly. Germany is now arranging to ex tend her commeroe, and England is feeling pretty well over the failure of the absurd reciprocity makeshift of the MoKinley tariff law. It is abont time the old protection lines should be aban doned, that American producers may get out into the world and compete with enterprising foreign nations. 'i;.'.'"':V.;Vvv'-l:Vv I ; Mr. Inman cannot point to any benefit , the protection doctrine baa done the south. ; It is stre am with the wrecks of manufacturing and mining ventures. " Mr. Inman should know this better than any one else, because his own rail roads have suffered - because the dreams excited by the passage of the MoKinley . home market bill were not realized. ; What other object' lesson doe he want to dnve the idea into his mind that protection on the McKinly plan is a failure ? . it has been of, no benefit to Georgia, and the ghosts of insolvent institutions that stalk through the deserted ofties of Ala bama are the melancholy reining era of disappointed hopes, t i. j ' Mr. Inman seems unable to .'.re alize that we are, now, and have been since 1390, living under the MoKinley system, and tie period of its Operation goes into . history as the -period of the most calami-' tons , business r depression . ever known in modern times. : And yet Mr, Inman preaches, protec-1 tion and says that if the Wilson bill be net amended on MoKinley lines, southern men must forswear their democracy , It ".would ' be well if he should retire for a brief space to some quiet spot and hold oommunion. with, his. common sense. : -i : :-. ;,: , -' J A itesMralaerieal rmnmmmm, !hJoago Reoord. a.-. fy ; 'fliu fidinrr aloncr a rid pe road in the North Carolina, mountains one , day,';When ' I met a 'native drivirig a yoke of cattle; and 1 stopped to ask the way: '.
