Off For New York.

Mr.. Julio HidalSO, the eminent
Cuban banker, who has been Wis
iting in the city fer the past two
months, left for New York this
morning. He was accompanied
by his physician, DIR. d. Morgan
Smith, l.. j. Madero, Mrs. Hi
dalgo and daughter, Govcrness,
maid and valet. Some weeks
ago Mr.. Hidalgo was stricken
with paralysis and for q while his
condition was quite serious. DR..
Smith gave him thessvery closest
attention but Mr.. Hidalgo be-
came impatient and sent to New
Y Ork for one of the most eminent
and skilled physicians of that
city. He arrived here and after
careful examination of the case
he told the sufferer that he could
do no more than was being done
by DR.. Smith and that the treat
ment he was getting was as good
as he could get anywhere. He
left for New York in a day or SO
and DR.. Smith has brought the
patient through all right. Mr..
Hidalgo and his excellent family

their stay here and they hope for
their speedy return.
DR.. Smith, after seeing his pa
tient comfortably settled with
friends in the metropolis, will re-
turn to Philadelphia where he
will attend the golden jubilee OF
the American Medical Associa-
tion and will return home about
June 10th.

All Aboard For the Picnic.

All the details for the union
Sunday school picnic to; Silver
Springs tomorrow has Eeen ar
ranged and everything indicates
very large crowd of children
and young folks. Several mem
bers of the committee went out
to the grounds yesterday after
noon and they report them in eX-
cellent condition. The train will
leave the Plant System depot at
the Ocala House over the new S.
S. & w. road in the morning at
the following hours: 500, $3.50 and
1900. People can take their
choice Of these three trains. The
return trains will leave the
springs at 4:45 and 5:45, thus Civ
ing those who cannot go out be-
fore the noon train to spend the
afternoon until 5:45 at the springs.
All baskets, buckets, frcczers etc,
will be carried free.
A number of free swings, boats
and an abundance of ice water
has been provided for and those
who have never seen the springs
should not miss this opportunity.
This is certainly the natural place
for an Ocala Sunday school picnic
and a liberal encoura ragement by
our schools will justify the rail
road people in making some ex-
tensive improvements that will
assist nature in making it the
ideal picnic resort of Middle Flori-
da. The distance from this city
is six miles and the rates are as
follows: All children under 10
years, free; between 10 and -
years, 10 cents and all over 12
years 25 cents. Every child in
the city ought to be given a day
in the woods.

The dyspeptic carries 4 dread
full load on his back. 1t seems as
if he were really made up of two
men. One of them ambitious,
brainy and energetic; the other
sick, listless, peevish and without
force. The weak man weighs the
other one down. The dyspeptic
may be able to do pretty good
work one day, and the next day
because of some little indiscretion
in eating, he may be able to do
nothing at all. Most cases of
dyspepsia start with constipation.
Constipation is the cause of nine
tenths Of all human sickness.
Some of its symptoms are sick
and bilious headache, dizziness,
sour stomach, loss Of appetite,
foul breath, windy belchings,
heartburn, pain and distress af-
ter eating. AL these are indica-
tive Of arrangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels, and all are
caused by constipation. DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
quickest, easiest and most certain
cure for this condition. They are
not violent in action.

SILVER TEA.
4 Most Delightful Reception by the
Ladies of the Baptist Church Last
Night at the Residence Of DIR.
J. NJ. Thompson.

j. VI. thompson.
The silver tea and farewell re-
ception at the beautiful home of
DIR. j. NJ. Thompson on Fort King
avenue last night under the aus
pices of the ladies of the Baptist
church was one Of the most pleas
ant affairs of the kind ever held
in this city. The crowd was very
large, numbering over one hun
dred and the weather was about
as near perfect as could be. The
friends as we'll as the members of
the church were out in full force
and the friendly greetings, de-
lightful music and delicious re-
frcshments made the occasion
rarely pleasant and profitable.
A pleasant feature of the occasion
was the presence of the mando-
lin and guitar club composed of
the following: The Misses Johanet
Misses Richie, Piatt and Law.
Their music was charming The
hearty applause bestowed on each
selection was evidence of the high
appreciation of the listeners.
The dainty eatables consisting
of cake, lemonade and tea, pre-
pared by Mrs. Thompson and the
ladies of the church and served so
gracefully by a bevy of young Ia
dies was also q source of enjoy
ment in which all participated.
A silver platter was arranged
on a little table near the door into
which a free will Offering was de-
posted amounting to about $50.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rev. j. E. Oates
and son Eddie were present to
bid good bye to their many Ocala
friends, preparatory to their leav-
ing for ST. Augustine today. The
afiectiOnate farewell rendered
them told palmer than words the
strong hold they have on the
hearts of our people. If the good
wishes and earnest prayers of
many friends count for anything
they will certainly be the health
lest and happiest people in St.
Augustine.
A very important feature Of the
evening and one that must not be
overlooked was the hearty well
come extended to the new pastor
Rev. j. L. Rodgers. He had an
opportunity of meeting many new
faces and by his courteous de-
meanor and gentlemanly manner
made a good impression. The en-
joyment was continued until
about 10 o'clock when the music
ceased and the friends separated
for their homes.

There Is an old woman in Charles
ton who has not been On the Batter,
si1Iee the war and has not been or
King street In three years. This may
seem like g fairy tale to many, but il
Is a true statement. She ls not Grip
pie. either, but is as we'll and strong al
a woman could expect to be who had
reached the age of "a years. She lives
in the western part of the city within
few squares OF King street and near
the Rutledge-avenue street-car line.
Another remarkable thing about
this old lady is that she has never seen
the electric-cars and has no desire to
see them, SO she says. She was asked
the other day by friend of hers to
join her in trolley-rlde, but she de-
clined with thanks saying she did not
care to ride on anything that was pro-
PEELED by unseen power. Law me-"
said she, when asked to take a trolley
ride, "do you think I'd get on one of
those cars that are run by electricity 2
| could not be induced to take one of
those electric rides. You are fooling
with something you can't see."
AS before stated, the old lady has not
been on the Battery since the war.
Notwithstanding repeated efforts have
been made by friends and relatives to
get her to visit this beautiful place, all
appeals fell on deaf ears. She would
reply when asked: "Thank you, 1 do
not care to CO."
Other than this no excuse was ever
offered. Oftentimes she has been asked
by her friends why she did not care to
go on the Battery, or why she had not
been there since the war, but never a
reason did she give. The old lady is
a genuine rebel, and says she has never
and never will. In her
house is large Confederate flag sus-
pended from the wall in her room, and
1t is said she sits under it hours at a
time and knits stockings.

It is Pluck that Wins.
James A. Garfield.

James A. Garfield.
Now, young gentlemen, let me, for g
moment, address you touching your
success in life and I hope the very
brevity of my remarks will increase the
chance of their making Judgement in
your minds. Let me beg you, i'll the
outset of your career, to dismiss from
your mind all idea of your succeeding
by luck. There is no more common
thought among young people than that
foolish ono that by and by something
will turn up by which they will sud
denly achieve either fame or fortune.
No, young gentlemen; things don't
turn up in this world unless somebody
turns them up. Inertia is one of the
indispensable laws ofmatter, and things
lie fat where they. are until by some
spirit, for nothing but spirit
makes motion in this world, they are
endowed with activity and life. Do
not dream that some good luck is going
to happen to you and give you fortune.
Luck Is an ignis fatuus. You may fol-
low it to your ruin, but not to success.
The great Napoleon, who believed in
his destiny, followed 1t until he saw his
star go down In blackest night, when
the Old Guard perished around him
and Waterloo was lost.
A pound of pluck ls worth ton Of
luck.
Young men talk of trusting to the
spur of the occasion. That trust is
vain. Occasions cannot make spurs,
young gentlemen. If you wish to wear
spurs you must win them. If you ex-
pect to use them, you must buckle
them to your own heels before you go
into the fight. Any success you may
achieve is not worth the having unless
you fight for it. Whatever you may
win in life, you must conquer by your
own efforts, and then it is yours-a
part of yourself.
