For Odd Fellows.

A proclamation has been issued
from the sovereign grand lodge Of the
/. o. o. F., directing the grand and
subordinate bodies of the organization
to take suitable action for the observ-
ance of the seventy-seventh anniver-
sary of the order, which will occur
April 26th. The suggestion is made
that the celebration take place on the
25th or 27th, seeing that April 26th
falls on Sunday. A general order,
recently issued by the commander-in-
chief, calls for national cantonment
of the entire Army of Patriarchs Mill
tant, to be held at Buffalo, N. Y,
August 5th. 1t is expected that cash
prizes, amounting to not less than
$4,000, will be awarded to the best
drilled cantons parading on that oc-
casion.

A SUDDEN DEATH,

The whole community was startled
Monday afternoon when the news was
passed from one to another that Mrs.
J. M. Gliding had suddenly died at
her residence on East Street, about
one O'Clock. A sudden death always
carries with it a shock, and the cir
cumstances attending this one we're
OF such nature as to render it more
startling than usual.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gliding were married
in January, 1894, and she by her
genial manners and kind disposition
won and held the esteem of a large
circle of friends, who deeply sympa-
thize with Mr.. Gliding in this his
great affliction. She was a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Goldsmith
OF Danville, and sister of Mrs. Max
Gross of this place. Her age was
twenty-slx years. The funeral services
were held at her late residence
Wednesday morning at 1890 O'Clock,
and the remains taken to Danville
for interment on the noon train.
The services were conducted by
Rev. Adolph Meyer, Rabbi of the
jewish Synagogue of Danvile, of
which the deceased was a member.
Mr.. Gliding has been severely
afflicted since he came to this town
few years ago. A short time after
he went into the clothing business
with Peter Salisbury, the latter died
suddenly from the rupture of a
blood vessel. Not long after that
Mr. Gidding's mother died at
Scranton, and now his life partner
and help-meet, is snatched from him
by the Destroyer. Truly the ways OF
Providence are past finding out.

DAN'L A. KELLY.

Very few, if any, of our American
comedians have a greater or more
deserved popularity than Dan'l A.
Kelly. Beginning at the bottom of
the professional ladder he has by a
thorough conscientious effort attained
to the front rank. He is irresistibly
funny, though his work is of that
peculiarly refined and artistic order
which appeals to the best and most
cultured people. He never descends
to "buffoonery" or other vulgar
methods to create laughter. The
charm of intelligence and refinement
is always noticeable. He is remarka-
bly, versatile, and as an impersonator
of comic, eccentric, and pathetic
characters, is recognized without a
peer. The announcement of the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Danl A. Kelly and
his talented company in his latest
sensational comedy drama, "Outcasts
of a Great City" is a guarantee of a
thoroughly pleasing performance.

STILL IMPROVING.

Over 800 pounds Of type have been
thrown out of the cases at this Office
within the past week, and its place
filled by new types. The new material
includes large font of poster letter,
body type, and several fonts of new
job type of the latest faces, A new
Acme binding machine has also been
added to the machinery Of the Office.
This machine has both table and
saddle binding attachments,with which
books can be bound through the
back or through the fold. The reason
why our job department is always
crowded with work, is because this
Office is up to date, and is one of the
best equipped establishments in this
end of the state.

Why Not Advertise 2

The most successful business men
prove, by liberal expenditure, that
there never have been times so dull
that extra advertising did not pay.
The foolish business man cuts his
publicity appropriation when business
appears to be poor, and allows the
neighbor in business to cut into his
old customers, and keep new ones
away from him.

Prof. Hendricks, who has been one
of the familiar figures at the Normal
for long time past, has decided to
give up teaching and engage in bust

noon he brought the pupils, who sit
at his table down to the Exchange
Bakery and treated them TO ice cream,
cakes and other delicacies, after
which they repaired to the Market
Square gallery and had their pictures

GOING TO CHURCH.

Ocala has seven white churches,
Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist.
Episcopal, Christian, Catholic. and
the Jewish synagogue. These
churches are all supplied with able
pastors.
1t is strange that men will
lounge around the drug stores and
hotels all day Sundays when they
could go to the church of their
choice and be instructed and edi-
fed.
Daniel Webster, one of the
greatest intellectual giants this
country ever produced, once said:
"The greatest thought that has
ever come into my mind is my
own responsibility to God. l go
to church every Lords day to be
reminded of this one thing"
The man who never goes to
church never amounts to anything.
He will be dead failure. The
Christian merchant, the Christian
banker, the Christian lawyer and
the Christian statesman are in
greater demand today than ever
before. One of The most dam
aging reports that can be started
against a candidate for public
cffice would be to say that he
never darkens a church door. We
hope the ambitious young men OF
Ocala will soon learn that the
royal road to success is through
the church OF Jesus Christ.

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.

The report published some time
ago in the Ocala corner of the
Florida Citizen, to the effect that
Mrs. Batty had retired from the
management of the Montezuma,
and thar Mr. Rogers had taken
charge, is without foundation.
Mrs. K. K c. Batty is still pro-
prietress of this popular hotel, and
is one of the most accommodating
landladies in the state, and always
makes the pleasure of her guests
her first consideration.
Mr.. Rogers has the responsible
position of chief clerk, which he
fills with credit to himself and the
house.

THE NEW TICKET OFFICE

The old reliable F. 6. & P. rail-
way has moved it's city ticket office
to Condon's Jewelry store, next door
to the post office, and Willie Con-
don has charge of it. This is con-
sldered one of the most central
and popular business locations in
Ocala, and Mr.. Condon's well
known popularity and business in
tegrity will insure him marked
success. John Dozier, the general
agent for the F. c. & P. company
IN Ocala, never does things b,
halves. He is an all round, up-to-
date railroad man, and never loses
an opportunity to advance the in
terests of his road. The STAR con-
graduates the F. G. & p. company
upon having such a clever, compe-
tent gentleman to represent its in
terests in Ocala as Mr.. Dozier.
His strict adherence to business
principles has won for him the
confidence of all our people, and
his road gets it's full share of
Ocala's freight and travel.

MAN AT THE WHEEL.
Some of the Ingenious Devices for Navi-
eating a Great Steamer.

Some of the Ingenious Devices for Navi-
eating a Great Steamer.
Let us spend an hour with Capt. Ran
dali, of the American liner st. Louis, on
the bridge in midocean. He first takes
rs into the wheelhouse. 1t is n room
ten feet wide with a curved front. 4
wheel about three feet in diameter is
placed in the center of the room, and
you are surprised to see that the quar-
tcrmaster keeps turning it almost con-
stantly. You have always thought that
he had simply to keep his eye on the
floating comps,ss in the box directly in
front of him and hold the ship steady
on her course. AS you look at the COM
pass you see the ship veering now this
way and now that, as she rolls and
plunges, or as one screw turns faster
than the other, and thus pulls the ship
around. 1t is hard to make two indie
pendent screws go exactly at the same
speed, and so this man at the wheel is
busy all the time turning tie ship
straight. He has TO fight the waves
and the screws and the winds at the
same time, and he is q busy man.
This steering wheel controls the ship
by means of small column of oil in a
little tube. By turning the wheel this
way or that the oil in the tube is forced
up and down, and that opens or closes
certain valves in the steam-steering
gear 400 feet away, and the rudder is
turned as easily as if child had done
it. In most steamships the steam
steering gear is controlled by hydraulic
power-that is by water-but the use
of column of oil is an improvement.
AS you look about you see fastened to
the cornice directly in front of the
wheelman a little scale in black with
white lines marked off on it. There is
a dial on it, and as the ship rolls you see
that this is a device to mark the degree
Of the roll. You may notice that it
takes about second for every degree
OF a roll. On each side of the room is
another long black gauge, and the dials
point to cerain figures, generally be-
tween 90 and IS. These dials are little
electrical devices, showing exactly how
many revolutions the screws are max

what is going on in the engine-rooms.
Over in the corner of the room is an
other curious electrical device. 1t is
little box with clock in it. The cap
tain tells you it is the machine that
controls the whistle in time of fog. The
law requires long blast of the whistle
at such times every two minutes. By
pressing a button on this little clock
apparatus, and by setting the clock in
certain manner, the whistle is blown
automatically for seven seconds every
minute. There can be no error of man
in that work. Just as sure as every
minute comes around that whistle
will blow seven seconds. Under the old
way, when a man pulled the whistle
cord, there was no cXactness in the
work. When the fog is over the button
is released and the whistle stops.-Har-

A SAMOAN SENSATION.
King and Rebel Prince Figure in
This Strange Story.
They Are Rivals in Love as Wen as In
Politics-The Woman In the Case Is
Described as Being Pretty
and Patriotic.

The taupou of Vaiala is the woman
in the story. Such another heroine for
@ novel could not be found in all Samoa,
according to the San Francisco Chron-
icle. A taupou is among Samoan wom-
en- what chief is among the men. All
through her life she is carefully pro-
tected from temptation. A taupou may
always be recognized, for, wherever
she goes, attendants accompany her.
These attendants are known as an
ualuma. The taupou is queen of the
village, of such nobility as to be the wife
of chief, and is one of those few per-
sons in Samoa entitled to wear the ula
lei, or necklace of whales teeth.
The taupou of Somoa is the prettiest
of Samoan women. The village in
which she holds the high rank is theone
In the midst of which the American
consulate at Apia is located. Although
born of Samoan nobility she was edu-
Gated by the missionaries, and reads,
writes and speaks languages other than
her own. She is described as cultured
and accomplished. So in love was she
with native customs and her native
home that, after her education had been
completed, she chose to forsake the
European garments she had been
taught to wear and take up again the
simple covering worn by the natives.
Soon the pretty girl forsook her Eng
lish and her French, and tried much
more assiduously to lead the silva or
native dance than she had ever tried
to learn stilted foreign accomplish
ments. This girl, well known to many
island travellers as the belle of Samoa,
has had the strange good fortune to
be loved by the king of Samoa, Malietoa,
and also by the rebel prince, Tamasese.
Tamasese, the prince, was the first
of the rivals to make his love known
to the girl. Things went so far that
there was proffer of marriage. He
sent his talking man" to meet her
talking woman" and to tell his desire.
