No ilnw u Immodest unlew tbt A FUNNY OLD TOVN. nme of the STany Amuelng Fcatarea of Key Y'eaU Kpy West Is one of the oldest and ftmlw?t towns In the United States. j It is made up of Innumerable little wooden houses without chimneys, but crowdeil In IrreniLar croups. Many of the houses have wooden shutters In place of class windows. On most of the streets there are no sidewalks, but people stumble over the Jncged edges cf coral rock. The natives who wear shc-5 ride lu carriages. There are a crcat number of public vehicles, and c ne can be hailed at any corner ami en caged for 10 cents. Some of these car riages are quite respectable In appear ance. They are generally double-seated affairs which have been dlscardi-d In the Xorth. The horses are wrecks and they thow by their nppearance that fodder Is dear and that they are not half feil. One of the sounds of Key West Is the whacking of the horses j which draw the carriages and the r.ules which move the street cars from place to place. The street cars look as if they had been dug up from the neigh borhood of tho pyramids. Hopes are used for reins and the only substantial tiling nlut the whole out3: is the great rawhide whin, with which the street car driver labors incessantly. The peo ble. as a role, are opposed to excessive exertion, but they make an exception in the case of Labor with a whip. The town has one struggling newspa per, which U worthy of a better sup port The climate, of which much has been written, is too good to be wasted, and there are traditions against exces sive mental effort by either the makers or the readers of newspapers. Hun dreds of dogs, cats, roosters, goats and "razorbacks" run at Large through the streets, and the three former combine to make the night hideous. In the ear ly evening the sound of negro meetings and JubiLations predominates. Then the cats liegln where tho shouters leave KEY WEST, off. Later, the dogs, sneaking and sore-eyeel, and more numerous than any other species, take up the refrain. There Is a strange mixture of races at Key West, but the negroes are the most patriotic class. They alone celebrate Fourth of July and other national holi days. Wlille the town has Its enlight ened and re-spectable people, It also has Its shoddy class, whose Ignorance of tho ri-st of the world carries them to grotesque extremes In their efforts to proclaim their greatness. Even In its schools. Kev West U iw.nlln -c!wxilhousos are built like cigar fac tories, anu each has mounted upon the roof the Ik 11 of on okl locomotive. When the school bolls ore ringing It Is easy to clivse your eyes and Imagine yourself In one of the great railroad des pots of the Xorth. The classes are Large, tlie teachers have a constant struggle with the cllmnto, so tho schol ars have time to make pen-shooters and other Instruments of torture for the unsuspecting visitor who falls Into their nnihush. If the teachers have a hard time, tho ck?rgy have a worse one. The churches ore much-abused institutions, with a large patronage ami a meagre supixirt. .ueu mat snioKe presume that cigars are manufactured In Key West, but there Is another source of income of scarcely less Importance. Any unfor tunate ship that ventures Into port Is considered legitimate prey, and It Is a bold man that iLiros to protest against the eontlseatlon of his property. When a ship is seen approaching the nfs the greatest excitement prevails, and some people even fall on their knevs to petition for her spevdy destruction. If a ve-ssel strikes slie is Immediately surrounded by n crowd of wreckers, who ellug to her like files to a molnsse-s barred. After there has been a wreck, storekeepers have money In their pock ets and do not care whether vou buy of them or not The proprietor of a shop will stretch himself, yawn and finally saunter over toward his customer to find what Is wanted.
