V Backet With Karnifjin.Gliss Bottom, ana a Lose Forked Hoot A Jacksonville correspondent tells enter tainingly how sponges are taken off the coaEt of Florida. There are 900 sponge fishers who work on one reef, off St Mark's. They do not have to dive for their animal-Yegetable-fisb. product as do the sponge gath erers of the Mediterranean. The industry yielded, last season, about 5300,000 to Flor ida fishers alone.

Until 20 vear. ago the sponges used Broad-Base Sponges, in the United States were famished by ships from the Mediter ranean; but to-day sponge fishing on Flori- da coasts is attracting widespread attention. In the early history of the busi ness sponges were obtained from the fishermen at 10 cents per pound; bat, with the failure of Mediterra nean industries, merchants began to engage in the business in this country, and daring the past summer and autumn the catch of sponges was estimated at more than $300,000 in value. The quality of the Florida sponge for gen eral use is of the most excellent kind. Sponges are of every variety and shape; some are long, feathery, tufted, looking like coral; others very delicate and soft to much sought after for the use of the toilet The effects of the weather upon the results of sponge fishing are of no small consequence, rough weather rendering it utterly im practicable. From May until August is considered the principal season for these cruises, but even through the winter months it is carried on with some success. FLORIDA'S PECULIAR METHOD. The method employed by Florida spongers . is very different from those used in Mediter ranean and .cEgean waters. There the sponges are obtained by thefishermendiving for them, sometimes finding them very deep in the water. Here, small vessels con taining 15 or 20 men are sent to cruise on the sponging grounds, and, on arriving, divide in pairs, betaking themselves to small boats. Formerly it was eeldom that sponges were taken in Florida waters below 18 feet; but now the fishing is pursued into 40 feet of water. One man manages the boat while the other scans closely the bottom, and, as the water is usually clear, has little difficulty in detect ing them. This is done with a common A. Fine Large Sponge on Jit Bocky Bed. woodenbucket with a magnifying-glass bot tom in it which is put over the water and the face thrust into the bucket as far as con venient Trained by long experience his keen eye quickly observes every object on the bottom, and he instantly detects the presence of a sponge when it comes within the field vision. By a dexterous use of the oari, the boat is brought to 8 standstill, and the sponge is torn loose by the use of a three pronced iron book fastened to the end of a long pole. It is readily seen that no small amount of skill is required by both of the Xaen in tbe skiff. These cruises usually continue for a week, and the product of the week's work is car ried to crawls or pens near the shore, to be prepared for market. This is a decidedly interesting feature, as the sponge in nature is by no means what we see it in the shops. H'S ONLY THE SKELETON. BThis sponge proper is entirely concealed by a soft jelly-like substance, 'and by re moving this we have the skeleton, which is the sponge of commerce. This is done by placing the sponges in pens of water when the gelatinons matter is snaked and pressed ont After the cleaning process, they are strong on rope yarn five feet long, and ready for the market These bunches vary in price, according to the size of the sponges from 52 to f3 60 per bunch. Naturalist! have agreed that the sponge is not a plant, although it looks very much like one when growing; nor is it at the same time a single animal, bnt rather a col lection or community of animalcule, which live and work and build up their cities together, and, when tbe time comes, cast out the young sponges to seek their own living and form a home of their own. "When the sponge is taken from the water tbe animal soon dies. The sponge was not always used for the toilet Among the ancients the sponge was employed as a medicine. Burnt sponge, un- j in.'- dm?

Near St. Mark's is, perhaps, the most im portant sponge reef on the coast. Daring the summer 900 men were engaged in sponging. Fishing, alone, has never yet built a city which is evident ns we see St. Murk's. At the month of the river, with a good harbor for large vessels, it remains only a hamlet The sponging fleets opera ting along the coast, as well as trade in oysters, fish and turtle, make the town a harbor and depot of supplies; yet itremains old-fashioned and non-progressive. The homes of the fishermen are strong along the shores. The simple fisher-folk have a kindliness nowhere else found. Singular simplicity is characteristic of their lives and the restfalness of the old town en viable. As historic ground, St Mark's has special interest Here, during the war. was the only battle fought in middle Florida. Near it, too, stands the remains of the ancient Spanish fortress. San Marco, now a miser able rain and lacking all that is pictur esque. Reverence for the antique has been lacking around St Mark's. Two ponderous blocks of stone, one bearing a representa tion of the coat and arms of the Spanish King and the other an inscription in Span ish, which once graced the fortress walls over the main entrance, were found a few years ago, doing service asdoor steps to a saloon in St Mark's. Tirey were rescued, however, and taken to Tallahassee, where they now remain. A FOOD EXPOSITION. One Fltlsbnrg Firm to Take a Lending Fart In the Display. Philadelphia, January 26. There are some interesting facts to be derived from the opening of tbe second Food Exposition in Horticultural Hall to-morrow. This is only the fourth exclusive food and grocery trade exposition ever held in this country, two being held in Albany, N. Y. It will be the third financially successful one, as last fall's exposition in Albany was not a success. There will be 11 States and Ter- ritories, seven countries of Europe and one South American country actually represented by firms' or manufacturers' ex hibits. The daily attendance last yearaver aged 4,000 persons, and it rained steadily the first week. Should this exposition prove the financial success it is expected to be there will be a considerable sum to the credit of the Betail Grocers' Association, and it is proposed to go ahead this spring apdbuild a hall and exchange for the asso ciation's use. Several sites have been looked at and the association has funds enongh now to make a good start on the building, but will await the result of the exposition. There will be over 20 exhibitors dispens ing cooked food, such as buckwheat cakes, flour biscuits, cakes, rolls, farina, oatmeal, svrup, tomato ketchup, cocoa, chocolate, cofiee, tea, orange wine, lemonade, mineral waters, pies, puddings, custards, sliced roast meats, ham, etc, beef teas, soaps, preserves and jellies, blanc mange, crackers and cheese, root beer, soda water, cooked rice, etc Then there will be upward of 50 firms giving out samples and picture cards. The firms have one and all gone to great ex pense in arranging their displays. One Pittsburg firm will spend $1,000 on the stage display. It shonld, under these cir cumstances, be a big, popular success. FDKEEAL OF A SUICIDE. Tbe Remain of Actress Jessie Dean Rey nold Lnld to Rest. Bahway.N. J., January 26.

JUSTICE IN THE SPRAGUE CASE Likely to be the Outcome, After lean of Litigation. Many EELATITES DEPRIVED OP MILLIONS, And the Whole Affair Largely Dae to Bitter Partisan Politics. That great Sprague estate, whose history was at one time associated, through close ties of friendship, with the name of Boscoe Conkling, seems destined, after years of liti gation, to reach its rightful owners. The story of bow it has been held, or diverted, is an interesting one, in view of the names it calls up. General B. F. Butler is cham pion of the genuine creditors and the Spragnes. Providence, January 26. The impres sion is prevalent here that the veteran Gen eral Benjamin F. Butler will soon add a new wreath to his laurels won at the bar by a final triumph in the great Sprague litiga tion. Within a few days the Supreme Court of the United States will have heard the issues passed upon again and again by the State courts, and by inferior Federal courts, involving the validity of the trust deed by which the Sprague family, about 17 years ago, conveyed a vast estate, worth many millions ot dollars, for the benefit of their creditors, which estate, it is alleged, was frittered away, consumed and absorbed, without the Spragues or the credi tors being benefited, while the trustee, the late Zachariah Chafee, became very rich, and a few prominent men, not original cred itors to any material amount, obtained val uable properties for a song. Throughout tbe years of litigation attending this proc ess General Benjamin F. Butler has been the steadfast and earnest cham pion ot tbe rights ot genuine credi tors and of the Spragues. He fought inch by inch, with a determination charac teristic of the man, and he blew aside like thistledown the barriers which partisan hate and prejudice erected against him in this State; for the powers tbat ruled here were strongly determined that the Sprague fam ily should never get on their feet again. .Where these powers could not make their influence felt in the Supreme Court of Con necticut, in the Federal Circuit Court of Connecticut, in the highestFederal tribunal of the District of Columbia the Sprague trust deed was decided to be invalid, and the claims of non-assenting creditors were sustained. THE ONE NOTABLE EXCEPTION. In Bhode Island alone Chief Justice Durfee refusing to sit the deed was sus tained and the trustee upheld in his peculiar methods of management To-day the law yers are few and far between who anticipate that the United States Supreme Court will sustain the Bhode Island decision. The form in which the litigation is pre sented to the Supreme Court at Washington is a suit by Evan Bandolph of Philadelphia to obtain possession of the stock of the Quid nick Company. The Quidnick property is one of the finest mill properties in the Uni ted States, and, it may be said, inthejworlc. The Quidnick Company at the time of the Sprague failure, was sol vent and prosperous, the main portion of the stock being held by ladies of the Sprague family, including the late mother of Governor Sprague. These ladies, in their anxiety to save the honor of their house, conveyed the Quidnick stock under the trust deed, as additional security for the Sprague indebtedness. They probably thought at the time that there never would be occasion to fall back on the Quidnick property, and that their splendid estate was secure. They little foresaw that their fortnne would b'e wrested from them; that they would be re duced to poverty, treated almost with cruel ty and reduced to dependence for the neces sities of life upon the generosity of rela tives, themselves but little better off. Yet such was' the fact While the firm ot B. B. & B. Knight was buying in the fairest por tion of the Quidnick property for a mere tithe of its value, the mother of William Sprague was living in this city in straits that she was too proud to acknowledge; the widow oi a Governor and the mother of a Senator saw herself the victim ot a vin dictiveness that spared neither the child in teens nor the silver crown of venerable age. REINFORCED IN THE FIGHT. Evan Bandolph was a dissenting creditor. He refused to accept trust notes for his claim of about $30,000, and he resolutely prose cuted a suit to recover the amount He at tached and bought in the Quidnick stock, or the major part of it, claiming that its con veyance under the trust deed was invalid, and he attempted, a owner, to take posses sion of the Quidnick mills. Of course, he was defeated in the Bhode Island courts, but he held on with unflinching tenacity. The trustee, ignoring him, went ahead and sold the property; the Union Company bought it in, and transferred the Arctic mill to tbe Kuights, and the Qnidnick mill to a new Quidnick company. Bandolph, however, carried the litigation beyond the narrow bounds of Bhode Island, and, with General Butler as counsel, he will soon have a hearing in Washington. Should Bandolph, in accord with the common impression, obtain a favorable decision from the Supreme Court of the United States, he will then become owner of Qnidnick and Arctic, together readily worth $1,000,000. Arctic is one of the most pic turesque spots in New England, about 12 miles from Providence. The scenery is wild and almost grand, and the impetuous fall of the river, foaming over its rocky bed, is suf ficient to run a factory without steam power. It is now, as stated, owned by the Knights, one of the firms which have been inflated to greatness upon the ruins of the Spragues. TILLAGE OWNERSHIPS INVOLVED. The village of Qnidnick is owned bv the new Quidnick corporation. The deeds which the Knights and tbe new Quidnick Company received from the Union Com pany are not warrantee deeds, bnt deeds which stand between a quit claim and a warrantee, asserting title, but lacking the warrantee clause. The Union Company was a syndicate formed to buy the Sprague property, and especially to prevent the Spragues from buying it At present the Union Company is acting in concert with the Knights and the new Quidnick corpora tion in contesting the claims ot Bandolph. Should Bandolph obtain possession of the Quidnick property, however, it is easy to see that tbe attitude of the Union Company and the Knights might become one of mutual hostility upon the issue of how far the Union Company could be held responsi ble for the title which it conveyed to the Knights. The destruction of the Sprague estate is one of the saddest episodes in New England industrial history.

VMCLER M., Mtam, M. 3&mtew V TRADE K3SlK- RbM PITTSBTJPG - DISPATCH, was one of the busiest spots in Bhode Is land 20 years ago. A few years later it was little better than a ruin, and the writer has seen of a summer evening swallows swarm ing to their nests in the great chimney visible miles away. The attempts to re vive industry there have been abortive. A blight seems to rest on the place. The Spragues have gone to other towns, William to Karragansett and Amasa to Warwick,and no one has taken the reins they dropped. A WONDERFUL LOYALTY. No family ever attracted a stronger loyalty, and'it is creditable to the Bhode Island character in this respect that, for a number of years, and as long as Amasa Sprague lived in Cranston, bankrupt as he was, neither money nor the influence of political enemies could prevent his fellow townsmen from electing him annually to the State Senate and the Presidency of the Town Council. He has also been since elected Senator from Warwick. His brother, William, also came near being elected Governor in 1883. He is now Chief of Police at Narragansett Pier. Both William and Amasa are in comfortable cir cumstances, thonghfor obvious reasons their wives hold the property. A decision adverse to the validity of the Sprague trust deed would affect not the Quidnick estate alone, but all the former Sprague property, amounting in value to manv millions of dollars, and situated in Bhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, Kansas, and other States, and the District of Colum bia. The present holders or the property would not, however, be innocent sufferers, for they all bought with the knowledge that the vafiditv of the trust deed was in dispute. and for that reason they obtained valuable lots, in many instances, at nominal cost. WHY THEY DIDN'T IMPROVE IT. Very few of the purchasers have cared to put costly improvements on the land thus acquired, "for fear of eventually losing every thing. The buyer of a block of Sprague land adjoining the City Hall in Providence erected thereon a low building, covering the whole block, which has already brought in rentals enough to pay him for his invest ment, should he be deprived of the property to-morrow; and, where any improvements at all have been made, this has been the gen eral policy. The political situation has changed great ly in Bhode Island since the Sprague fail ure. Nearly all the prominent figures in the enort to crusb tbat family nave disappeared, and the struggle which, eight and ten years ago, absorbed the attention of the State, has dwindled down of late to a side issue. But should the Supreme Court at Washington decide in favor of General Bntler's client, Mr. Bandolph, and in accord with the deci sions of a majority of the State Courts that have passed upon the issue, there would be a lively shaking up of the dry bones in this Commonwealth, and some people who think that Bhode Island is independent of the Union would find out to the contrary.

Tbe name Influenza' comes from tbe suggestion tbat tbe malady was due to the In fluences' of tbe heavenly bodies, but more modern science has discovered that it is due to the cbanges in the electrical conditions.
