THU SCRANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1897. 11 Inddeots .of a Y Old Florida. Second Letter Describing PJStiiresqtie Scenes Qnd: Experiences of a VacationtTour in the 'Lan of Flowers. Ipcclal Correspondence of Tlio Tilbuno. Arllncton. Flo... March 18. Wo have jw been In Florida for two weeks und hlle we lmvc experienced no wild ex- tement during; these weeks, still they ive been two ot the pleusuntcst that o can remember ever to hava spent, Ihe weather could not have bpen more rutlsfnctory If we had been able to or- Jer It each morning. Possibly we are Imot'i" enthuslnstlc about .Florida than Inuny other tourists and It may be due Ln a limre nleasure to our rather ex- hptlonul aurroundlngs. Most visitors I) Florida stop at the large hotels at lie different resorts (which are very. Similar to eooU hotels In other places) md do not, as It were, get an Insight uito the every-day life of the natives. IVe were fortunate ln being able to liake our headquarters with friends ho have u beautiful winter home In lie HoweiT -state, We seemed to have 111 the pleasure of travel and slghtiee !ng while every day or two we would be at home and not cooped up In u small hotel room. Our llrst excursion was up the Ar lington river In u row boat. The Ar lington Is a rimall tributary of the St. Johns und n3t more than six or eight mlle.M. I'oilg. "Most of the way It Is not more than L'5 to CO yards wide, but It Is from 10 to HU feet deep. Along the banks We could see the remains of a number of old "before the wur" plan tations. "Remains".-. Is scarcely the word to describe them. howeVer. for there Is not t'liinigh''iett to really puss J muster as even remains. i lie cli mate seem.1 specially adapted to reduce all things to their oilgliml elements. If any one should close his house and grounds for u ymr or two and then return lie could readily Imagine that lie was looking Upon a place that had been standing vacant since "before the Avar " THE UH13AT FHBEZK. Up until two years ago we were told that everything dated from the war so many yeais before or after the war but now everything dates from before or since the freeze of two years ago when ull the oranue groves were de stroyed. We have verified the later pai t of this . statement for we con stantly heard of "the year before the freeze" and "six months after the freeze," etc., ptc. The great sources of wealth In Florida were oranges und lumber. The lumber Industry con tinues, but the orange trade Is mild und as a result business Is dead. It seemed to us that most of the money ln circulation was being put there by northern tourists.' Hut we are digres sing from our trip 'up the Arlington. This little stream Is as ctooked'as the proverbial ram's horn. There is prac tically no current for It Is a tidal (stream. After passing up the river for a mile or, two the plantations cease to be in evidence at all and the banks are lined with beautiful large und overhanging trees while twined and In tertwined about .them are many va rieties of vines und creepers. The af ternoon that we took ' this row was bright and warm so that we saw a great muny .turtles' on the banks' and u few alligators out sunning them selves on the bunks and half sub merged logs. The ba'nks of the stream weie llteially carpeted with what Ihe natives 00,11 Faster lilies, a beautiful white lily, but not quite as large as our Easter lilies. BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS. As far inland as we could see through the tangled jungle were masses of dif ferent colored flowers. The dogwood und honeysuckle were conspicuous but most of the Mowers we had never seen before. Taking It altogether the after noon spent on the Arlington was a most agreeable Introduction to Florida. On Sunday afternoon we drove off some three or four miles through the pine woods to a colored church. The church reminded us of a dilapidated country school house In the north. Over the door was written in chalk in a Bchool boy's hand the words: "Mt. Zlon M. E. Church, " The congregation con sisted of thirty-three negroes, men, wo men and children. We were the only whites present. The minister preached on David's contest with Goliath. IN A COLORED CHURCH. It was a most amusing discourse. The minister could not read but lie made believe that he could. After very graphically "describing the fight which took place and using a number of big words (all of which were Incorrectly pronounced, and used In a connection where they had absolutely no meaning), he remarked that It was the power of God which assisted David as he (David) "Oldn't know nothing 'bout military tlc tacs." This Is but a sample of the entire discourse. Ast-the minister sat down he cleared his throat, got up again, turned ills back upon Uie congregation, stepped upon the bene! op which he had been seated and expectorated through a broken wlndowpune in the upper sash of the window directly behind the pul pit. Two colored men then passed among the worshipers with their hats extended ln order to take up the col lection. Our.party contributed 3f cents. "When the collectors returned to the minister's dish they remarked In loud, stage whispers 1h'e amount-that they had collected. 'The first said: "Thlrty neven cents; the white gentleman give thirty-five cents;" the second remark ed: "I got thirteen cents." The minis ter then announced that "De collection this afternoon amounts to fifty cents, thlrly-llve cents of it was contributed by the guests." While the collection was being taken tsM&Ml'iraSvvt33??E THE N. K. FAIRBANK COMPANY, , tit. Louis', New York', Uoaton; t Philadelphia, Chicago, Visits :,'(-"-' ? up one of the brolhcts nros and re marked that, every one should give lib erally as theyneedeU money to repair the church for If It was not repaired they would not be ablia to have the pleasure of holding -funerals there "no more" und there was to be a funeral on Tuesday, lie further temnrked that their regular pastor was not with them today so they could use this collection ns when the regular pastor was present he took ull the collection ''hlsself." The Statement' of a funeral far-Tuesday pro voked quite' u' discussion us unother brother got "ilp and said that It was not going to be held until Wednesday. When we left We w'ereT still ln doubt whether the solemn service was to be held on Tuesday or Wednesday. FT. OEOHQE ISLAND. The other day our friends decided to take us for an excursion down to the mouth of the St. John's river to what Is culled Ft. tleorge Island. This Islnnd Is of considerable Interest though vis ited by very few tourists on uccount of the difficulty of access. There Is no rallroud or regulur Hteumbout line so that we had to charter a boat and with a party of tWeiity-flye on board we started early In the morning for u pic nic at the Lsland. The Island Is about twenty-five miles from Jacksonville. TlieT"steaiiier that had been chartered was, we decided, the slowest boat ulloaf. du'r hostess had sent word the clay, before-to have ull the avail able curi luges-on, the Island engaged to drfv'e. ouriiar't'y dboiitt ' When we arrived ut the (us usual In Florida) tumbled down pier we saw on the beach at the other end of the pier two conveyances. Before euch was attached by means of ropes, straps and Wlie u very diminutive horse. Their couts resembled' that of an ungroomed cow. The conveyances were of the style of our lightest and smallest gio cery delivery wugons. The seats had been pushed to the rear und a board placed across ln front so as to make two seats. Into these two wagons We care full!' packed fourteen adults and four children together with the lunch bas kets and the owners of the turnouts. The appearance of this cuvalcade re minded us of a plctuie we have seen of the old woman who lived In a shoe. Fortunately for us there is no society for the pievention of cruelty to animals on the Island Or else we would not look back upon that day as.one of unmixed pleasure. . ' , OBSERVATION HILL. uu i' destination on the Island was called "Observation Hill," which is ubout two hundred feet high and the most elevated land on the Atlantic sea coast south of the Xt-versink high lands In New Jersey. Except for this hill, however, the lsland Is flat and there are good smooth shell roads so thut the little ponies were able to keep the Immense loads behind them In mo tion. There is a ram shackle observa tory on the crest of the hill, from the top of w.hlch we were able to gain a very extensive view 'of 'the surroundr Ings of the mouth of the St, John's rlv.eruJustiqiitsIdethebarwe saw the United States stenrnship Vesuvius, which Is keeping an eye on filibusters which wish tp start from Jacksonville for Cuba. WHlle we, watched her she came swiftly in through the narrow channel and headed up1 the river for Jacksonville, where a day or two later we had an opportunity of going all over her and inspecting her dynamite guns. Ft. George Island Is about ten to fifteen miles In circumference and In the olden tlmes belonged to a Mr. Kingsly. It was n great slave market where the ships came direct from Af rica with their black cargoes, Mr. KliiKfly married an African princess and had two daughters. These aaue;h ters were sent to France and there edu cated. One of the daughters married a Mr. Samls, who through the assistance of his father-in-law, became very wealthy and owned a laige part of the land opposite Jacksonville besides eon frldeiable land In Jacksonville City. His wife, (the daughter of Kingsly and the African ptincess) died two years ago und at that time a long account of her romantic life was published ln the New York Sun. The widow of one of her sons Is now living, with her little child, in West Plttston. AN ISLAND HOME. After luncheon we Impressed the car riages Into our service again end start ed fora drive to the old homestead. This proved to be the most pretentious place of the kind that we have seen In the south. One entrance to the private grounds Is through an avenue of palms. On each side of this avenue lor nearly a mlle;are the most beautiful pahhs.set out about twenty-five feet apart. An other avenue Which leads up to the house Is made up of cedar and live oak trees alternating. This gives a very pretty effect. The house and out-build-lngs are still standing and In a very fair state ot preservation as they are built of eoeheha, a shell rock, the Fame as was used ko much In the building of old St. Augustine. We are tuld tliaf Mr. Kingsly used to own and employ from four to six hundred slaves all the time. The old slave quarters are small but look com fortable as slave quuiters. Some years ago theie was a large hutel built on the Island but two years ago It wus burned. Observatory Hill, we were informed, had been purchased by the United States government and during the com ing year a light house of the first class is to be erected where now the decaying observatory stands. To us Fort George Insist oh the Genuine The best Washing Powder made. Best for all clean- jng, does the work quickly, cheaply and thoroughly. Largest package greatest economy. Island seemed like an Ideal place for some mlllloiuli.' to gain possession or aUy spending moneV upon It In Ulf I tlfylng Its natural attractions, he would have simply u perfect winter Home. ST. AUGUSTINE. 'Last week we started for 8f. Augus tine, for to visit Florida without seeing St. Augustine Is much like visiting England, and Frunce without seeing Iiondon tir Paris. Jacksonville ds- the metropolis and buslnesB center of Flor ida, but St. Augustine Is and always will be the one plaee In Florida that every tourist feels that he must visit, it is the oldest town ln the new world. We are not full of dates and statistics, hut for confirmation of our statements we refer to stundurd authorities. St. Augustine Is but an hour's ride, by train, south of Jacksonville. Today the old and the new vie with each other, the old being represented by the old Spanish fort and the new by the Ponce de Leon hotel, The greater part of the old Spanish section ot the town was destroyed by lire some time ugu and In the place of these old land marks there ure belne- built rows of houses which resemble very closely our Adnms ave nue block of houses In Scranton. Any one that has ever read anything of this old city has read all about the old fort and we will not try In this let ter to tell ubout It as a correct und complete history of It would fill a book. The three principal hotels (the Ponce de Leon, Alkazar and Cardova) ure as fine and modern us can be found any where In this world. St. Augustine Is pre-eminently a tourist's city. As u result It Is full ot ull kinds of fuklrs, who wish to ehurge you 25 cents to see this und 1!5 cents to go there. The stoics uie filled with Jewelry, canes und curios of every de scription mude from the Indestructible portions of alligators, suukes, shell fish, etc. We have decided that there are more alligators carved on the handles of oraliire Wood canes than there are reul ulllgators ln the swumps of Flor ida. A WELCOME MEETING. As we weie walking along beside the old slave market we- discovered a crowd of iie'gioes apparently enjoying themselves Immensely. What was our suprlse upon coming closer to them to find thut our old friend, Andrew Bedford, was the center of the group. He was. as usual. In the middle of a story. "William Wulsh .sat' on u bench a little to one side as If wishing to .be considered a stranger to the story teller. We did not see Mayor Bailey, but felt that he certainly must be near by. We only remained In St. Augustine for two days and most likely there are many things there that we did not see, never theless we feel that we have a very fair Idea of the mother city of Ameilca. A Scrantonlun. MUSICAL MOTES. Ben Da vies, the great tenor, has recently been gaining addltlonul laurels ut Philadelphia, where he wus. soloist at the concert given by the Boston Sym phony society. Ben Davles sang "Lohengrin's Farewell" und "Stes mund's Love Song." lie did full Justice to both numbers, receiving live recalls for tlfSttrst and four for the second, This is the fourth season he has sung with tho orchestra, meeting with so much suc cess each time that Mr. Ellis, the man ager, promptly engages him for the fol lowing season. His voice Is broaden ing all the while, his upper tones being BEN DAVIES. trumpety ln character. He remains in this country eight weeks and will be heard ln nearly all of the big spring Ics tlvals throughout the country between now and June. Ben Davles lb a Swan sea boy, and first u graduate of the Na tional Eisteddfod, afterwards of the Royal Academy of Music, London, and Germany. ii :i :i Henry Russell, who was born at Sher ness on December -i, 1812, Is the oldest living English composer. He has com posed and published more than SOW songs. His song "Cheer, Boys, Cheer!" is the air played by the Guards' drum and Hfe band when a British regiment leaves for abroad, und "A Life on tho Ocean Wave" was, in lis9, adapted, by order of the Admiralty, as the special march of the Royal Marines. Mr. Sulaman celebrutes eacli birthday by the composi tion of a love song, and, being still' brlsK and vigorous, Intends to continue com posing for many years to come. i; ii ii The scale of prices for the Blspham Gregorowltsch concert at 'the Frothlng ham on Tuesday evening, April 13, has been fixed as follows: The first six rows of orchestra chairs will be $2 each; the last four rows of orchestra' chalrsJ', the llrst four rows In orchestra circle, and the Hirst two lows ln balcony, will be $1.50, and the bulance of orchestra all ele and balcony circle will be $1. This conceit will be the last great muMial event of the season. It will be under ihe pationage of well known men and women, und It Is expectea lliut a tun house will gieet these great artists. II II II Harry B. Smith confesses to bavin? de. rived the pivotal Idea ot the Smith-Herbert opera, "Thu Serenade," from "an Interlude by Goldlnl," but It seemed sure thut It had done service In some Fieneh musical farce. It was th.it a sei'iuaje, at Hist sung by an operatic nan''me, cap tured the heart of a fair auultor, wheie upou her guardian took her away to the mountains to seclude her from the pur suit of the singer. Mr. Smith bus worked this themu to the further comic effect possible. A bioken-voleed old tenor from giand opera learns It. So does an amateur vocullst, with un uncon trolled voice. So does a bandit chief. So do the spooks In u haunted custle. . So do the monks In u mouasteiy. So do the girls in a convent school, So does a parrot In a cage, The complications 'that arise from the various singing of this serenade ure Ingenious and dlvcit iutr. II 'i II Some six year.? ago .Marie Delna, prima donnu of the Opera I'oinlqllo, Pulls, was a wultiess In a country Imi ut Bus-Men-don. The Inn was kept by her umit und was famous for Its fried llshl One day while Marie, then 17, wus serving dinner to a party of Parisians seated In the bower of the little garden, she forgot (hut there was company there and war bled one of her songs with a voice that made rome of the guests fennel the ex cellent dish that was before them, The party got Interested In the HougstiesB, and afte- coffee was served the gill's aunt wus called for and Informed that a precious treasuie wuh dormant In the throat of her niece, When the little waitress was usked whether she would like to move to Purls to have her voice trained for the stage she answered ntUvoi ly thut she would Just as soon go Into a convent, so that, she might slug In church every day, Three years later Mtf2& fa she made her debut in Paris, and to- f W tiie seir-samr gin is consiuereu tie JlrXo'lTSStuc'Wef. lTuA muxlcal Instinct prevents her from a "faux-pas" against good taste, and help her to achieve her astonishing success.

Tho action or tho opera has been placed at Monclur, a Gallclan village, and thoj period Is 1610. Great Interest Is being taken In tho lust great musical event of tho season, which will occur on April 13 ut the Frothing hnm. This will be tho last opportunity for this year, t least, for Hcrantontans to hear In their own city two great urt Ists with an international reputation, und It Is hoped that nt this concert there will not bo ono Vacant seat. Prices have been CHARLES GUEQOROW1TSCH. ai lunged to suit everyone, and there can be no complaint of exorbitant ehuigcs at this concert. Mr. Blspham's songs guve such ilelleht to his hearers at his concert here In December that he will probably be received by u packed house at his re turn concert, especially when the con cert will be given Jointly with such a noted violinist us Gregorowitscii. A re cent press notice of Gregorowltsch' says: "'if anyone ever handled the bow with a masterly hand, then It Is Gregoro wltsch. The violin In his bund did not sound like any ordinary violin, but gave forth exquisitely clear and smooth tones. His execution wus something to be won dered at, und his tones were so lovely and pure that they marked his playing us being of an entirely different order from thut of the violinists we usually hear. He was compelled to respond to numerous encores." UIl'OKTAXCE OF PURE AIM. It s by So Menus Sufficiently Well Uccoiinizcd in America. The season of colds, at least the sen son accepted as such, being upon us, It, Is well to remind ourselves that the best authorities ascribe the urevelance of these distempers to bad outdoor air. "Cold air," says a writer ln a recent magazine, "does not cause throat and lung diseases, but only bad air." The fact that there Is a marked Increase In these diseases during cold weather he fits to this theory by declaring that such disorders are produced not by the cold air, but by the indoor life that accompanies the season. "An open fire in every living room ln every house," says another enthus iast on the same subject of ventila tion, "would do more to'lowei- the d.eath rate from respiratory diseases than any medication or other existing rem edial agency." Barring this, he urges frequent airing of rooms constantly occupied, but also Insists that the ven tilation be done on principles of com mon sense. "Steam-heated rooms," pursues this carping critic, "particular ly In apartments, usually reach a tem perature of SO degrees. This I may say Is a mild statement. Any persons liv ing In such places endure this or great er heat until It becomes intolerable, and then throw windows open reckless ly. The temperature Is lowered too suddenly, a chill Is sure to follow, and often serious mischief. Why not take the pains with our own lives that u florist does with his plants? The air in a green house is regulated by a thermometer and kept even and pute without a sudden chill or overheating. It Is the high tempetature and bad air of our houses thut hus made us a lace of catarrhal wheezers, and not at all, I believe, climatic- conditions." New York Times. Long on Air. The wayworn man had fallen In the street ln u. very great swoon. The usual ctowd gathered, and the usual man-who-knows-whut-to-do shouted: "Stand back und give him uir." The wuyworn man got up.
