IN FLORIDA'S
ORANGE BELT
PEN I'lCTTJItES OF BEAUTIES Of
THE EASTERN COAST.
L Glimpse, of the Orange Groves
and Pineapple Orchards of the In
dian River Tho Home of the Serni
noles Jupiter, and Other Localities
of Interest in the Land of Perpetu
al Summer.
AS THE TRAIN bears u with mo-tcor-ltke
swiftness over the unit-tin
rnlls southward from St.
Augustine, our llrst stop Is
I'alatka, twenty-eight miles. This
Is an attractive city in the mlilst of the
orange district. Groves of oraiurrs and
lemons surround It, ami tho walks
and drives in all directions nre frn
grant, romantic and beautiful. While
Tolatka Is tho trade center for fruit
and vegetables, It Is also nn attractive
winter resort for tourists, next In Im
portance to Jacksonville. It Is also a
paradise for the sportsman. Here,
too, Is tho point of depurtun1 for the
Ocklawaha steamboats. This sail of
a hundred tir more miles affords si
revelation of some of the wildest and
most tropical scenery In Klurlilii, an
experience never to be foi gotten.
After paying our respects to I'al
ntka, our train swoops southward tow
nrds tho Atlantic co.ist through a Hat
pine wood country, on which are scat
tered numerous t-.iw-mills, turpentine
stills nnd a few faims, u most noted
timber section. We pass ten stations
of more or less importance for forty
miles when we reach nnother popular
resort of the enst coast section, "Or-mond-by-the-Sea."
with Its palatial
hotel nnd chaimliiK surroundings.
Oimond Is an old winter lesort, locnteo
upon the west bank of the Halifax
river, a novel and attractive spot, be
tween the broad and placid Halifax
and old ocean on a narrow strip of
land a short half mile acioss-In the
midst of a setting of richest verdure,
nurrounded by some of the oldest anil
most luxurious orange crows found In
Florida. It Is truly one of the Ideal
ppots on earth foi lest and enjoyment.
Here are combined the climates of the
tioplcs and the tonic of the sea. The
visitor may spend the nitlie winter
here nnd Mill not exh.t'i'. Its pleas
ure and attractions. The town proper
Is not large, but the decant winter
cottages of wealthy northern people,
together with its at.i'acthe hotel, alt
located In the midst of stately pal
metto, live oak and evpiess groves,
with branches of th' fen gaily fes
tooned with Spanish 'lion, presents a
variety of scenery boiderlng upon the
marvelous.
No tourist should miss Pniniiiil.
I'roin the eastern veranda of the ho
tel can be seen the ocean's waves toll
ing ill upon a w.d- Ix.uh ol tine bard
sand, unexcelled iinvwin re. extending
n distance of thirty miles without the
least obstruction. Tli Si'!" ,i is two
hundred and Ilfty feet wide at mean
tide, and upon Its haul marl sand all
klnrt-4 of turnouts, pleasuie carriage
and bicycles me found. A spin behind
a gool pair of horses !m cn.iovabie. Th
dx-horso tally-ho hardly leaves a
mark on the smooth surface of this
magnificent heach.
FAMKD TOMOKA IMVKK.
Many small streams How Into the
broad Halifax: the iiiiki famed Is the
Tomoka river, nine i ho chosen resort
of th- Tomoka tribe of Indians. It is
ailed the Ocklawaka of the east
neast and tuns into the Halifax a
phnrt distance from the Ormoud hotel,
a navigable stitMin for a score of
miles for naptha launches, etc. lis
banks are a continual panorama of
tioplcnl .scenery, fiom the bluffs of the
'equina quarries to the dense growth
of tho swamp land". Tills river seems
to be. a dividing line In the egeta
tion. The pine lands end here, while
going southward, beginning on its
very banks, are the torteilng tropical
palms. These palm lands were foi'.
inerlv sugar and indigo plantations.
The Halifax river belongs to that sys
tem of Inland wat -is teinied lagoons.
They are fed by Inlets from the sea.
and extend from near St. Augustine
Lake Worth. Ulaek bass from three
to six pounds each are i aught hue:
also hirse game Is near at hand and
tarpon tlslilng outside. On the vetan
da of "Hotel Oiniond," killed two day
before our arrival, lay a huge and for
midable black bear. His coat was
shaggy, his white teth gleamed, and
lie koked ilangeious enough and ma
Jo tic even 111 de.it li. He weighed fiOO
pounds and was shot by hunters and
guests, in the hammocks, six miles
west of the town, being the 11 ft It of
Jil.s kind captured this season. He Mill
J)e skinned by experts and his pelt win
decorate the den of a wealthy nort--1
em Guest, -whose lium we did not
, learn, while bear meat will be added
lio tho menu of the hotel.
'( tiurf bathing can he indulged in Iht"
i liy tho most delicate all through ill
winter months. The ellmat In of that
I medium quality which the tourist tan
enjoy from October to May. The
walks In all directions ni attractive,
with rustic seats and arbors along the
tropical shaded river banks, which
trails across the peninsula a half mile
that connects the river with the ocean.
Besides, a bridge spans the Halifax
nver from the west bank to the beach
frlde, nnd horse cars run regularly
from I ho railway station across the
br'dge to the ocean. Here Is another
of the famous nlTV-hoIe golf links of
the I'.i-n Coast Golf club.
Ani"iig the guests of the Ormond of
our acquaintance and favorably
known to so many of my readers, won
Hon. William Brooklleld, of New York,
who Bays of Ormond and Its hotel,
"If the traveller does not find every
thing at this ideal resort to make the
very living a Joy, he will not find It
on this earth."
Six miles southward 'rem Ormond Is
Daytona, another charming resort
the "city of winter cottages" a thriv
ing, prosperous and growing Mwv
England village. Wealthy families
from Massachusetts give to the town
its dominant air. Two bridges span
the Halifax at this place.
New Smyrna, 15 miles south, Is next
to St. Augustine the oldest settlement
on the cast coast. Here are the ruins
of ancient sugar mills, bricks of which
were brought from Holland. Mlnorcan
houses with coqulna stone floors, chim
neys r.tui wells curbed wJth hewn
stone, all m ruins, are seen along the
river bank for several miles. The
drainage canals, Indigo vats and ruins
of old sugar mills of 1767 indicate
lurge industries. The town has many
attractions today to boast of both un
dent and modern. Here the Indians
made their homo and built shell
mounds some of them Intact to this
flay. Hunting for large game is a.
feature here. A branch of the East
Coast railway extends 30 miles to Lake
Helen, Orango City, Blue Springs nnd
Delatid on tho St. John's river. At
Now Smyrna Inlet, the mouth of the
Halifax liver, is seen a lighthouse.
A run of 'J7 miles, passing six station,
brings us to Titusvllle, near the head
of Indian river. Kroni here the l'ast
Coast has a branch leading to Sanford,
Winter Park, etc., resorts of the Plant
system.
WHKKK INDIAN BIVKIt OUANCIK
('ROWS.
Titusvllle Is a county neat, has sev
eral small tourist hotels, well paved
streets, electric light plant and lino
business places. It Is the principal
shipping point for fruit and vegetables,
particularly the Indian Illver orange.
Hero, are groves of palm called "Oul
llver's Dusters," because of their like
ness to enormous feather dusters with
the handles stuck In the ground.
Along the bank of the liver Is the
home of the crane, white and blue
herons are often seen from the cor
windows. Fiont Titusvllle steamers
regularly run to Hockledge, Lake
Worth nnd Palm Beach. The Indian
river here reaches a width of neatly
six miles, In the center of which Is a
charming piece of tropical land, where
ftost and freezes never come, called
"Merritt's Island." under high culti
vation .tul producing prolific crops.
Indian liver, so well known to the
people of the North from the fame
of ItM oranges, Is one of the greatest
charms of Florida. Its head com
mences near Titusvllle and runs paral
lel with the Atlantic Ocean nnd the
Hast Coast railway for about ISO miles,
having but a narrow spit of land be
tween It and the ovo-glades of tho
Interior. It Is u lagoon or series of
lagoons, making a continuous stretch
of water scenery for more than I.'O
miles, and with Blscayne Bay now
united with Lake Worth gives an un
interrupted water-way of n.10 miles,
The novelty of Its ni'eii"ry Is as strik
ing iih are Its charms and luxuriant
beauty. These connected Inland waters
vary from weird, twisting narrows one
hundred feet wide to spreading lakes
fiom three to six miles wide. Some
times they look out of Inlets upon the
Atlantic, nnd again Into the mouths
of winding creeks nnd fresh water
livers from the main land. The lands
adjoining the lagoon are very fertile,
producing all the Southern fruits from
oranges to eocoanuts in great profu
sion. The liver Is equally noted for Its
number and variety of iNli. Including
pomp.inn, mullet and tarpon, also tur
tles of great size, even to five hundred
pounds In weight. Besides the wily
alligators often expose their corrugat
ed hacks on the same log with the
sportive turtle nnd numberless water
snakes.
Tor ten miles In a stretch the train
runs so close to the hanks of the liver
that waves nearly reach the ties of the
track. At three points the river is
miles wide, ami almost all sorts of
craft, sailing, steam anil naptha, can
be seen scudding nlong over its smooth
waters. Over one hundred varieties
of birds, including immense cranes,
herons, etc, (who aie caught In the
act of llshlng themselves) are seen
fiiahlened away, however, on the ap-
pioaeli of the train.
Cor many miles our train passes
through large savannahs, hardwood
hammocks and cabbage palmetto
gloves. Fiom a broad sand beach
stream at Titusvllle the ilver con
tracts In eighteen miles to a narrow
sheet of water at Bnckledge, where It
washes against the side of a perpendlc
lar ledge that continues for miles up
and down the river. This Iedg Is of
(oqulna, and Hockledge is named from
It. The foot walk for several miles
on the high river bank through grove
after grove of splendid oranges, many
going to decay for want of plucking
and caie, and past elegant mansions
and tropical gardens, with the grand
outlook acioss the river to the sea, Is
to say the least Interesting and fas
cinating. Several modern and well
appointed hotels are located here, with
prices to suit every purse.
TH'K PINKAPPLB SUCTION.
eW are now In the heart of the fam
ous Indian Klver orange belt, that ex
tends from Osmond to ICau (Jallle, S3
miles In extent. At Kail Uallie are the
largest groves In the state, and right
here the Indian Itlver and the Ban
ana Itlver form a Junction. Bight here
Is the northern limit of open-air pine
apple growing and called "The line
apple Section." The rallioad skirts
the shore of the Indian Itlver now on
for IJj miles and constantly crosses
creeks and livers whose beauty adds
much to the already charming se-n-ery.
The land, too, Is rich and beyond
reach of frost, where orange groves
have never failed to bear, and the
most luscious plneappples are har
vested season after season and mile
after mile of pineapple plantations are
seen on either side of the train, and
vegetable gardens without end. To
the Northerner the cocoanut, the pine
apple, orange and tig groves are no
less Inviting than Is the prodigal lux
uriance of the tropical Horn, the cy
pres", the magnolia and the palm, In
tlie most prolitle colors and In the
wildest array. This land of fruits and
Hoi a opens up a ii"w heaven nnd a
I new earth to the neiiolder.
I The next station of Importance of
which I should make special mention
Is St. I.ucle, (four miles this side of
Fort Pierce,) the winter home of our
senior senator, Matthi-v S. Quay, and
his town-brother Senator M. C. Hutler,
of South Carolina, vlslblofromtho train
for miles. St. Lucie Is WW miles south
of Jacksonville. Of course, as a I'enn
sylvanlan, proud of our senator, we
nllghtod from the train to view the
ast pineapple plantation and thrifty
orange grove of the senator, miles In
extent, both among the best In Florldn.
Senator Quay Is proudly referred to
here and all along the east coast, as
"Florida's third senator," nnd Is as
popular heie as In Pennsylvania, or
among his colleagues at Washington,
THF. NOHI.K HF.DS.
Foit Pierce Is nn old settlement and
one of the chief trading-posts of tho
Seminole Indians, back of which, Is
ih home of the "Cow Creeks," one
branch of the tribe. Croups of them
,iso fiom various camps In the liver-.
Biades aro found at this anil other sta
tions along the line, trading alligator
hides, snake skins, bird plumes and
game, In exchange for groceries, and
p.mmunltlon and often too much "lire
water." As a rule, these Indians are peaceful,
law abiding nnd reliable tribe nnd give
absolutely no troublo to tho many
whlto ssttlers who now live nlong the
bordeis of their happy hunting ground
tho everglades,
After the Seminole war In 1S12 nnif
when subdued this portion of their
tribe hide in the wilderness of the Ev
erglades, and still remain in tacit re
bellion, and regard the white man with
suspicious enmity. While ouu nation
they are divided into three, tribes the
"Big Cypress," "Cow Creek" and
"Mlamls." Tho former live on tho
Gulf coast In the vicinity of Fort Mey
ers, the cow Creeks, bin k uf Fort
Pierce, nnd tho Mlamls, live back of
CVIalml. They have no reservation, no
land has ever been assigned by the
government. Their dwellings are pal
metto huts nnd framed houses; they
havo horseo, dogs, pigs nnd cattle, nnd
ralne corn, sweet pototnes and other
vegetables, l'lour or starch made from
"conntle," or wild cassava Is n staple
article of food with them.
They tiro usually clad In heavy tur
ban mado of a large blanket,
folded nnd wrapped around their
heads, some have leggings nnd mocca
sins of tanned deerskin, The bucks
wear as many ns three shirts, If they
ran aford that number; half a. dnen
coloted handkerchiefs tied around their
necks nnd sometimes n vest. Some
wear a belt, but very few wear any
thing on their brown and sinewy legs.
The squawn are tiot bothered with
tho heavy head gear of the buck, al
though some wenr n handkerchief tied
under their chin, they wear their hair
cut ishort In front and colled behind,
short calico dresses and no shoes.
Their Jacket Is decorated with silver
or gold coins pounded thin, and cut
Into various shapes. About the neck
Is a necklace of beads. On the neck
of the new-born girl, Is also necklace
of beads, others ale added ns he grows
older, until the mature woman Is fairly
burdened beneath Its weight and then
with tho coming of old age, they are
gradually discarded. The women are
skillful with the needle and some have
sewing machines.
A party boarded our train, among
them Chief Tallahassee and suite and
rode to Palm Beach. These dusky
"smellful" aborigines, caused much
amusement to the passengers, to whom
the sight Is a strange and novel one.
Fort Pierce Is a noted winter resort,
much visited by sportsmen. It Is too,
In the pineapple district. This section
is one of great Interest because of the
relies of u by-gone age and anquishcd
people. Here are the mounds and
earthworks of the old fort, the eastern
end of the line of forts and stockades
stretched across the state during the
great Seminole war but no garrison Is
stationed here simply, suggestive
memorials of the days when the Semin
ole's were making a hopeless stand
against fate.
WHBItR TIIF. ORFnON WAS WEL
COMED. Afier leaving Fort Pierce, the road
extei.ds through miles and miles of
pineapple plants passing Eden, the
plantation and home of the pioneer
pine. apple planter, Captain Richards,
nnd Jensen, a thriving Swedish settle
ment wllli large pineapple plantations,
and In I'll miles reaches Jupiter, tho
southern end of the Indian river, where
it forms a Junction with Loxadatlchle
river and Lake Worth creek. From
hero the light-house at Jupiter inlet
can be seen from the train made
famous iluiing the Spanish-American
war, in welcoming the battle-ship
Oiegon, May 24, 1S9S, when she unex
pectedly put In an appeal. i nc.- after
I er onderful passage ntvtinl 'ape
Horn, to help In crushing the Spanish
Iteet off Santiago, can he seen from
the train. Here Is also the American
end of the Nassua cable.
Tho further run from Jupiter to West
Palm Beach, where the train crosses
Lake Worth to the Palm Reach hotels,
Is but seventeen miles. Heie are the
noted palaces, 'Royal Ponlciana" and
"Palm Heech Inn," now the "Break
ers," of the East Coast Railway, among
the largest in the world and royal in
deed, in both their entirety unique
surroundings nnd their magnlllclent
appointments. The miracle of enter
prize that has transformed the west
co.ist of Florida an almost unbroken
and primeval section, Into a blooming
Eden, has come to the east coast In tho
person of Henry M. Flagler, whose
princely liberality has here provided
spacious hostelrles nnd winter homes
unsurpassed In the world. A further
description will appear next week.

INDUSTRIAL
AND LABOR
IMPROVEMENTS IN PROGRESS
'BY THE LACKAWANNA.
Work of Tearing Down the Old
Round House Will Bcj-ln in a Tew
Days British Artisati3 Are Tour
ing This Country Getting nn Idea
of Americnn Methods Breaker of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company
Is Extensively Remodelled The
Board for Today.
One of Ithe most notable Improve
ments that has been made on the Lack
awanna railroad, under the new man
aRement, is the substitution of con
crete foundations for masonry work In
biidRe building and construction work.
Within the past year over ten thou
sand barrels of cement have been used
In concrete work, and today not a foot
of cut stone Is used In the foundations
of either hrldpes or bulldlnRS nlotifr the
road. The concrete foundations nre
built nf snivel, sand and cement, nnd
this combination of ninterlals makes
the hardest conciete possible.
For a number of years different
western roads have used this concrete
In their construction work, but the
Lackawanna railroad, under the pres
ent management, were the first to In
troduce It In the east, nnd the success
they have met with has encountKcd
other roads to use It, until now It Is
ftenernlly looked upon as the substi
tute for cut stone and masonry work
in all heavy construction work.
One of the best evidences of the
practicability of this substance can be
seen In the foundations of the Oak
street bridge on the Keyser Valley
branch of the Lackawanna railroad.
There a new modern steel span has
supplanted the old wooden structure
that has done service for so many
years, and the girders rest on solid
foundations of concrete, either of
which nre nearly eighty-two feet long,
and the bridge span Is fifty feet long
and nearly thirty-four feet wide.
Two tracks cross this bridge now. In
stead of one as formerly, nnd thou
sands of tons of coal are hauled over
that branch dally. The new bridge at
Oak street was placed In position re
cently, under the direction ot Superin
tendent Hlxson, who takes much pride
In explaining the work that has been
done there and what Is under way at
different points along the line.
He expects to have a force of men at
work In a few days tearing down and
lebulldlng the old round-house In the
ckawanna ynrd, to accommodate the
large number of new engines that the
company has ordered within the past
year.
Work will soon be commenced on a
concrete nrrh bridge on the main line,
east of Nay Aug tunnel, and a number
of other minor Improvements are now
under way. The construction depart
ment Is one of the busiest In the com
pany's roster, nnd thousands of dollars
are being spent every day for labor
and material In Improving the road.
The steam derricks now in use great
ly facilitate the work of construction,
particularly in the handling of Im
mense steel girders and bridges. What
would formerly require a force of men
a week's time to accomplish, the steam
derricks now handle easily Inside of nn
hour.
British Artisans Here.
Touting through the states Just now

A large new breaker Is being erected
at Duryca. by the Lehigh Valley Coal
company, (some time ago the latter
company purchased a breaker from the.
Newton Coal company. They saw an
opportunity to increase the capacity of
the colliery and suspended operations
while the necessary repulrs were being
made.
A large force of men were put tn
work remodelling the old slrjeuitv,
