No highly colored lithograph or pen picj
tnre can ever do j nstice to a grove of oranges
and lemons, with their almost fabulous co
incidence of fruit and flowers. Nothing
too extravagant can be said of the beauty of
an orange tree. To see acres of cround cov
ered with perfectly even rows of them, in
their dark, glossy, green foliage and heavy
golden fruit, weighing the branches to the
very ground, is a sight you declare at once
to be "up to the brag," and, if anything,
beyond. The white, sandy soil, spread like
a sheet under the trees, forms a beautiful
contrast with the yellow and green of the
grove.
In this no spear of vegetation is allowed
to take root to dispute the claim of the
orange to tbe entire nourishing properties of
the soil. The trees are planted lar enough
apart to admit of a team driving between
the rows. To drive through a succession of
these orange avenues and pluck the sweet,
juicy fruit along the way is equal to the
realization of a beautiful "dream.
Practical Side of the Orange Gro e.
An experience lite this captivates the
'"Yankee," as all Northerners are termed.
Yon are in love with Florida and want an
"orange grove" right away. As soon as the
first ecstacy of delight wears off you begin
to appreciate the beauty of the grove in a
practical way. The round gold balls on the
trees suggest to your mind cold dollars, and
are apt to lead you to inquire how much
time, work and money is required to place
a grove in bearing condition. A few min
utes' conversation with the owner gives you
to understand that it takes at least nine or
ten years of patient waiting the first five or
six of which represent nothing but hard
work.
The enrse of earning bread by the sweat
of the brow has not been taken from Florida.
To have and to hold in this sunny clime
means just as much work as in any other,
but vou are perhaps a little more sure of
certain reward in good time. An orange
grove once in bearing insures an annus.1 in
come through life. Trees once properly
planted need no replacing, live for years
and bear continually. It is not unusual to
come across trees, 6tout and hardy, which
have borne regularly for 20 years.
The TTild Orange Unfit to Eat
The native or wild orange of which the
woods are full, is very sour and unfit for
use. In starting a grove these young wild
trees are brought from tho, forest, trans
planted, and when grafted with fine varieties
make, many think, the best bearing tree.
Others plant groves entirely in seedlings.
Again, you see irroves which have been
started richt in the woods, where the trees
have grown in their wild state. They have
been thinned out, budded, placed in rows as
even as possible, and are now thrifty bear
ing trees. A few years is gained by this
mode and a more speedy result will likely
be realized.
The orange grower, like all others inter
ested in fruit raising, is constantly seeking
after fine and new varieties. The latest or
newest freak in orance culture is known as
the navel orange. This odd specimen at
tracts considerable attention. It is large,
smooth, fine in flavor, and a kind of double
orange. From outside appearance this is
not noticeable. The slight indenture caused
by the dual growth marks the name of the
variety on each yellow coat. Inside the
main orange is a small one about the size of
a large hickory nut. This miniature growth
is merely novel and does not add any to the
quality of the fruit.
Few of the Many Varieties.
Other varieties better known and more
delicate in flavor are the niaugerine and tan
gerine. The russet, not being a pretty
orange, is hard to dispose of to Northern
fruit buyers, but is here a general favorite
and is well known to be the sweetest of all
the varieties. The grape iruit is another of
the oranee family, but very unlike in taste.
It takes its name from the way in
which the fruit clusters on the branches.
The fruit is verv large, sometimes
measuring from 12 to 15 inches.
Several dozen on a Btem hang in a great
cluster, like a huge bunch of grapes. The
fiber ot the wood is very strong, otherwise
the limbs would break under the great
wcichtof the lruit.
The medium size orange is always the
best The large ones are, as a rule, coarse
and sour. It is wonderful the size it is possi
ble to grow them. In a grove the other
day we measured one 17J inches.
This is the height of the orange season. In
all the croves now the fruit is being picked
and snipped. Some hold their crop bark a
little later than others, in hopes of getting
better prices, but these run somewhat of a
risk. A freeze in Florida at this time would
be a terrible loss. Every orange wonld
drop to the ground and be of no earthly use,
unless cooked into marmalade or used to fill
up some of her many lakes.
Famous Northern Orange Growers.
FiomlOO miles below Jacksonville in the
counties of Volusia, Orange and others, one
can scarcely get out of sight of a grove. It
is in this section we encountered the groves
belonging to well-known people of the
North. Mrs. H. B. Stowe, De Land, the
New York "starch man," and Stetson, the
"hat king," of Philadelohia.
Exclusive orange culture in Middle and
Southern Florida is only of Tecent date.
Having no railroads there was of course no
market, and the native paid little if any at
tention to raising the lruit. Cotton, rice and
sugar cane we're the principal products.
Now, since the raiiroads are crossing the
State in every direction, things have
changed. The Northern markets have been
broucht to the farmer's very door. The
cotton king has been deposed the orange
reigns supreme.
King Orange Dethrones King Cotton.
Many of the old Florida planters have
gathered their last crop of Sea Island cotton,
and have laid out tneir plantation!) in plots
of from one-quarter to five acres. New peo
ple nave oeen coming in, ana now we see
everywhere neat little homes with a "just
up" "appearance, surrounded with gardens
and groves.
Ten years ago De Land was very little
more than a pine forest Now it is a town
of beautiful homes in the midst of orange
groves. Every person in the place is in
terested in orange culture, most pf whom
are of the North. The place is known here
as a Northern town. Le Land shows well
what a veritable Eden it is possible to make
in this climate. Another interesting in
stance is the Burdett Island grove. About
two miles below Oakland, between Lake
Apopka and John's Lake, is the little town
of Killarney. Near this and at the most
southern point on Lake Apopka lies the
Burdett Island Grove.
The owner, Jndge Burdett, was originally
from Kentucky. Five years ago he came to
Florida, settled at Ivillarncy and -bought
the Island Grove, which takes Its name
Irom once having been surrounded by water.
The soil of the island is hammock land, sur
rounded by beds of muck, and is considered
the richest land in the county.
The orchard covers an area of 22 acres,
and is known as a native grove. Less than
nine years ago the young trees were thinned
ont and budded with fine grafts, and now
stand in the rich soil 30 feet apart, 0 or 60
to the acre in all, 1,600 trees on the 22 acres.
The vield in oranges from this number of
trces Mr. Burdett states, showed to be
equal to 8.000 boxes, but owing to a fros;
last March his fruit this Tear is a partial
failure. The February blossom was de
Itroyei In June the trees bloomed again,
"Sud-the crop he cow has is from this second
blossom. The vield is equal to 3,500 boxes
less than half what it would have been.
The average number of boxes to a tree is 20.
Preparing the Fruit for the Market
Mr. Burdett has sold his entire lot at
$1 76 per box on the tree to an Atlanta
fruit dealer, who is now having them
picked and shipped. The wrapping and
boxing is done on the ground at the dealer's
expense, which amounts to 40c per box.
The large size orange packs 96 to a box. The
medium, or small orange, wnich packs 176
to 200 per box, brings the highest price and
is handled to a better advantage by the fruit
buyer.
Mr. Burdett also gives some attention to
vegetable gardening. Two crops a year are
raised of cabbage, beans, tomatoes, corn,
onions and Havana tobacco; but he makes
more of a specialty in the vegetable line, of
raising Irish potatoes, which will only
thrive in Florida in paying quantities in this
rich hammock land. Plauting and digging
potatoes has been the daily work on his
place since the 10th of last September. They
mature in 90 days from the time they are
planted,
Raising Potatoes in Midwinter.
His soil yields from 100 to 300 barrels per
acre. At present be has some that were
just planted, some in blossom, and others
ready to use. In December he shipned new
potatoes to Philadelphia for Christmas din
ners. They were said to be the first, and
the earliest ever handled at that season of
the year by the commission houses. This
month new potatoes sell here at $2 00 per
bushel; those sent to Philadelphia, $7 50
per barrel. In March Mr. Burdett expects
to get in the same city 510 00 to 14 00 per
barrel.
The Orange Belt Railway, which extends
from Sanford to St Petersburg, on the gnlf,
a distance of 155 miles, is one of the roads
which has done so much toward develop
ing this section of the State. In speaking
of this great change, Mr. Burdett remarked
that beiore this road passed his door, his
orange grove was not worth to him a dollar.

Crackers That Are Fresh.
Consumers are realizing more and more
every day the desirability of having the
crackers that they eat fresh from the bakery.
Stale crackers, or those that have been
shipped a long distance and stored in a
warehonse, probably for a month or two, are
not only very undesirable as an article ol
food, but are absolutely unhealthful.
Grocers should be careful in buying crack
ers to get none but strictly fresh goods, and
to buy only in such quantities as they can
sell readily.
There are said to be carloads of crackers
in Pittsburg to-day that have been shipped
here from away off in some other part of the
country, and that nobody wants. The goods
made right here at home are the ones in de
'mand by the people of Western Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and West Virginia.

ASKS WHY SHE CANNOT REMAIN
In Charge of Her Department, Though the
Warden is Opposed to It.
IESTBEDAI IN THE COUNT! COURTS
The Quarterly Committee of the Alle
gheny County Prison Board met yesterday
afternoon. In addition to some routine
business an audience was given to Mrs. Van
Ostand, matron of the jail, and Mrs.
Hammond, of the W. C. T. U. The visit
of the ladies was in relation to some trouble
existing between Warden Berlin and the
macron.
The business relations between the two were
not as harmonious as they should have been,
and resulted in the warden requesting Mrs.
Van Ostand to tender her resignation. There
were no charges of any moment made on either
side, it was said, but as the affairs of the
prison required that the warden and
matron should work together in har
mony, the warden decided to ask for
the resignation of the matron. Mrs. Van Os
tand as not inclined to resicn, and, to obtain
information in regard to the matter, she and
Mrs. Hammond, of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, the members of which are
interested in Mrs. Van Ostand, yesterday
went before the Quarterly Committee.
The committee, wbich is composed of Judge
Evwng. Commissioner Mercer and Mayor Wy
xnan, after hearing the case stated that they bad
nothing to do with the matter except as indi
vidual members of the Prison Board. Any
action the women might take wonld be present
ed to the board at its next meeting for either
confirmation or rejection.
With this the ladies departed, content to
leave the case to the board. The next meeting
of the board will be held next Saturday.

NOTES BY W. STEINITZ.
(a) Not a good way of declining this gambit
(b) As will be seen. Black gets the worst of
the position In conseanence of this advance.
(c) Stronger than P Q,S.
(d) White obtains now an attack, which
ought to have yielded more profit than it did.
(ej 9 B Q, B , KtxP ch; 10 K K sq. followed
byRQsq. bad its points, but Black, by then
bringiugoutB B 4, would have obtained a de
fensible game.
(f ) Kt K 3 was much stronger.
(K) The attack here obtained is worth the
paun given up.
(li) Thi was hardly as good as Kt Q, R 4.

CRITICISM.
If there's a hole in a' your coats,
I rede vou tent It;
A chiel's amanc vou takln' notes.
And, faith, he'll prentit!
In last Saturday's issne of the Life we have
the following problem by Mr. Hadden, Cleve
land, O.:
Black: 5; King. !$.
White: 1418; klnc, 2.
White to move and win.
It the editor and his contributor will look
into Lyman's problem book, page 92, problem
No. 711, they will find the same problem, the
only difference, colors reversed, by William
Reid, Kilmarnock, Scotland. It looks like
plagiarism, and tbe Cleveland expert can only
clear himself of the charge by a statement as to
how be came by the problem.
To the Checker Editor of the Dispatch:

Taxentum Tournament
Our esteemed neighbors commenced their
tournament on January 22, and they have
adopted apian somewhat original for a tourna
ment There are eightentries, and thev choose
two captains, W. S. Nesbit and Thomas P.
Pratt and they choose three each. Mr. Nesbit
chose William G. Fulton, W. W. Calpass and
Fred Anderson: Mr. Pratt chose D. B. McCon
ville, Thomas P. Fleeson and Bert Hunnell.
The teams play four games with each of the op
posing teams, and the two making the bestscore
in each team play the two best in the other,
and the one making the best of all will be the
champion. The Score of the first round is as
follows:

The above speaks for itself, and shows the
strength of tbe players. But the originality of
onr neighbors in their arrangements has it so,
that in tbe final rounds.ono of tbe players mak
ing an average of 71 3-7, has to give the place
of honor to two men, that puttinc both of their
averages together only makes 7 1-7 more than
his. There is something wrong in this, and tbe
injustice to Mr. Fulton should be righted, let
previous arrangements be what they may.
Tbe tournament will be concluded next
Thursday evening, when full particulars will be
given in The Dispatch. If larger cities would
follow the examule of Tarentum, It would be
the best education that tbe checker players
could be given. We hope to hear from others.
City Championship.
To the Checker Editor of the Dispatch:
Dear Sir As the limit to our challenge has
expired, and our forfeit of 25 has not been
covered, we claim the championship of the city
of Pittsburg for Thomas Boyle, and any
resident player desirous at any time of contest
ing for tbe said honor, has only to let it be
known through The Dispatch or any other
reliable source, or to my address. Southside,
Pittsburg, a match will be arranged.
John Peal,
With authority from Thomas Boyle.
January 29.
We take great pleasure In acknowledging
Thomas Boyle champion of Pittsburg for tho
simple reason he Is the best phiyer, and none
knows this better than Mr. Sherrowandhis
backer, Mr. James Matthews. They are simply
afraid to cover Mr. Peal's money. But when
ever they can muster the courage tbey will be
accommodated. All of Mr. Sherrovv's blowing
has ceased since the $25 has been lying in our
hands. We would have liked to have seen a
contest so that we could bavo presented the
silver medal, which is now in our bands to be
given to tbe winner of the first contest for tho
city championship.

Statements Added as a Matter of

T6 PRESERVE THE SERIES.
Not that it is needed as a matter of evidence
is this testimony given. For it is not needed.
Evidence superabundant accumulative, over
whelming, beyond all possible peradventnre,
convincing all. and yet adding tangible proof
to proof unquestionable, has appeared for'years
past inan unprecedented an unbroken series.
With such evidence, so available, so easily
verified and scrutinized, so great ln volnme and
extending over so long a space of time, no jury
could bring in but one verdict no community
could form but one opinion. The burden of
that verdict and that opinion w ould be that. In
the successful treatment of troubles of this
kind, Sr. Copeland remains without an equal
in tbe profession, and that the record ot bis
numberless and remarkable cures is without a
precedent in medical annals.

because it is needed as a matter of proof. But
ever since Dr. Copeland permanently estab
lished himself in Pittsbnrg there has appeared
each week in the daily papers the statement of
a patient who had been cured by him of some
obstinate and long-standing trouble. These
statements have been made by ladies and gen
tlemen well-known in tbe community or in tbe
neighborhoods in which they lived, and have,
in every Case, been accompanied by the por
trait and full address of the person speaking,
so as to have no possible question as to their
genuineness and reliability. Such a series
challenges scrutiny and silences criticism.
Not for additional proof, but for the sake of
keeping that notable and remarkable series un
broken in its regularity are new cases and
statements added each week, as this one is to
day. Mr. Uriah Donaldson, 97 Diamond Street,
Mr. Uriah Donaldson, living at No. Iff
Diamond street, who is in the employ of the
O'Hara Glass Works on Thirtieth street
says; "Ever since I am able to remember 1
have been troubled more or less with catarrh.
I think It was possibly hereditary, for my
mothersuffered much tbe same. My head and
nose were stopped so I could hardly breathe
sometimes. There was a continual dull, heavy
ache over my eyes, constant rumbling and
roaring noises in my ears.
"ily hearing became impaired,wbich alarmed
me very much. I feared 1 should lose it en
tirely. My eyes became weak and watery in
the morning they would be blnrredso that I
co uld hardly distinguish objects.
'I could feel the matter dropping back into
my throat, which kept me hawking and raising
to clear It . My throat became sore and in
flamed. "Of late, as my trouble grew worse, sharp
pains like tbe stab of a knife would take me
in the chest and region of the heart, shooting
through under tbe sbonlder blades. My heart
would beat rapidly, the palpitation being fol
lowed by a slow, irregular beating, and a faint
and dizzy feeling. My appetite was usually
good, but everything I ate made me sick and
caused- sharp, shooting pains through my
stomach that would nearly drive me frantic.
"I slept sonndly but my sleep did me no good.
I would get up in the morning all worn out ac
tually more urea man tne nign. neiore.
"Can you imagine what my life has been ?
this condition existing moro or less severe ever
since I am able to remember, and nothing
seemed to relieve me. A short time ago I had
my attention called directly to Drs. Copeland
and Blair, of whom I had heard and read a'
great deal. After consulting tbem and finding
their charges so very reasonable I declaed to
try them."
"It was the best resolution I ever made."
concludes Mr. Donaldson," for they have cured
me and I think permanently. All my symptoms
are gone. My bearing is entirely restored."

tients given np to die by other doctors. Thou
sands of sufferers from chronic ailments bless
tbe day they began using my remedies. Ont of
all cases treated I have lost but. Ave. A won
derful record, indeed, considering that a ma.
jonty of the sufferers bad given up hope of

I have relieved ISO persons of tape worm in "1
months, and seven long-standing cases of cancer
were cured in the same time. I have enred
more neople of chronic catarrh, scrofula, stom
ach, liver and kidney troubles, blood taints,
eczema, rheumatism, male and female weak
ness than all other doctors combined. The de
mand for my family medicines has become so
great that I am compelled to cive up traveling
