Two Distinguished Visitors.

There arrived in our city yes
terday two distinguished divines
of the Methodist church, namely,
Bishop w. w. Duncan of Spar
tanburg, S. c., and DR.. David
Morton Of Louisville, KY. They
are en- route to Tampa where
Bishop Duncan will preside over
| the annual conference Of the NJ.
E. Church South, which convenes
at that place on Friday next.
The bishop preached a sermon at
| the Methodist church last night
to good sized audience which
was remarkable fo- spiritual
power and soul comfort to Chris
tians. His commanding presence,
classic face and tine voice gave
| force to his eloquent words which
fell like a shower Of diamonds
| among his listeners. He is a great
preacher and scholar, but best Of
all he is a man filled with the
Holy Ghost and seems to live
| every day and hour in the imme-
| diate presence of God. What a
treat to hear such a noble man of
God tell the story Of Calvary.
We wish every person in Ocala
could have heard the sermon last
night.
At the close of the bishops ser
mon, the venerable DR.. Morton,
who has charge of the church ex-
tension work, made some appro-
pirate remarks. These gentle
men, in company with Rev. j. 2.
Hilburn, the esteemed pastor Of
the Ocala Methodist church, will
leave this afternoon on the F. g.
& z. railway for Tampa. 1t is
the wish Of our people generally
to have Pastor Hilburn returned
to Ocala. He has been with us
three years, and according to the
rule he can have one more year.
He has done a fine work in build
ing up his church, he is loved and
esteemed by all our people and
the Star joins in the request to
| have him returned to us another
year.
The following is q brief sum-
mary of Mr.. Hilburn's work for
the past year: Fifty-fve new
members were added to the
church, making a total member
ship of 243. The Senior Epworth
League has grown from forty one
members last year to the present
membership of seventy-one. A
Junior Lea que of fifty members
has been organized. This makes
a total membership in both
leagues Of 121. The Sunday
school has 90 officers and teach
ers and membership of 239.
Despite the hard times S1,2s6. "a
have been collected for the vari-
Gus Enterprises of the church.
The Woman's Foreign Mission
airy Society and the w. P. and II
NJ. Society are both in good con-
dition. Pastor Hilburn has been
at his post of duty every Sunday
except three, and then he was
called to attend other meetings
connected with the church. This
is certainly an excellent report
and shows Bro. Hilburn to be q
wide awake, successful minister Of
Jesus Christ.

Three Washington Stories.

Senator Mason's reported disappointment
in failing to receive as much federal pat
ronage as he thinks is due him reminds
he of story that Tom Atchison. a former
law associate of Colonel Robert G. Inger-
sol, in New York, used to love to tell on
ex-President Harrison. Il seems that Sen
ator Quay often called al the White House
during the Harrison administration with an
application IN mis- pocket for the appoint
ment OF some friend and constituent of his
TO ali Office. Inasmuch as he had been cor
spicuous in the campaign that elected Har-
r'sor, The Pennsylvania senator imagined
that his applications should always have
precedence over others and that the pres
dent should ask no questions concerning
them. He was oftener disappointed than
pleased. Finally he grew angered at the
manner OF mis- treatment by the president
and while in an irritable mood ne called at
the White House His interview with Mr.
Harrison was quite unsatisfactory. In a
burst of fury he asked:
Say, Mr.. President, do you know who
elected you?"
'Oh, yes. Very well, indeed" replied
Mr.. Harrison. The people cast the ballots.

THE NORTH POLE AGAIN.

Dyche of Kansas, who accompanied
Peary on his last North Pole eXpedi
ton, not only taught Peary and his eX-
plorers how to kill walruses and to do
many other things in a common sense
way. but also hit upon the best scheme
to reach the North Pole with certainty
and celebrity. 1t is a practical plan and
was facetiOusly dubbed ''the plum pud-
said all the expeditions had failed for
the want of food. Expeditions perish
ed because of the cold and-despair be-
gotten Of hunger. SO he said the way
to reach the North Pole is by establish
ing food stations within easy and GER
tain reach Of each other. Anybody
could travel to the North Pole or any
where else with an eating station every
few miles This man Peary has stolen
Dyche's idea and seeks to appropriate
the scheme. He calls it his new plan
and says $4,000 will make it a sue
cess. Meanwhile. Explorer Jackson, In
Franz Josef Land. intends this summer
newly discovered Victoria lake. If
Nansen's present view of an open sea
around the pole be correct. however, it
would seem TO be impossible for any
land expedition TO succeed in attaining
the Pole itself.

INGALLS, AND THE PRESS.

The incident of ex-senator Ingalls, be-
ing present at the Carson prize fight as
reporter has been the subject of no end
of comment. At first it was pronounced
inexcusable in an ex-senator, a deGra-
dation OF his dignity, to write up a
prize fight. Then The manner of the
write-up did not suit the press and In
gals was finally decided to be the
worst reporter III the United States.
At last ParsOn Payne mot Bishop Nc
Cabe) gave ingalls, a clerical roast at
the Winfield conference This called
forth a reply from Ingalls, full of hne
irony IN which the general reader fell
upon the opinion that the wonderful
word pugilist of Atchison had given
the clergyman Knockout. But a part
of the press is not yet satisfied. Con
ceding that Ingalls, is so supreme 4

governors, congressman and senators
| from other states than any OTTER state
can show or boast The number of
Ohio-born men now governors and coll
cressrilen of other states exceeds the
number of any other state. Mckinley
| is an Ohio man himself, and among the
prominent positions already filed under
| him is Ambassador Hay, who married
his wife in Cleveland and represented
| that district in congress; John Sherman,
secretary of state; Perry s. Heath, first
assistant postmaster general; Benjamin
BUtterwortn, commissioner of patents;
William R. Day, special commissioner
to Cuba Joseph Smith, chief of the bu-
reau of American republics; William
H. McCallum, historian of the state de-
partment; James Boyle, consul at Liv-
erpool. 1t is also announced that Bel
lamy Storer will have foreign mis-
SIGN ard William Hahn the marshal
ship of the District of Columbia. Mr..
Hanna is chairman of the national
|
been appointed secretary of the COM
mittee at a salary of $1,000 year. This
is a pretty fair beginning, and the adj
ninistration is still young.
1t should be said in extenuation, how
ever. that while the Ohio man is not
burdened with modesty or at all back
ward in coming forward, yet there are
some reasons why President Mckinley
should deal generously with his fellow
Republicans of Ohio. He has been in
politics all the greater part Of his life
and during all the years of his political
career he has had unnumbered favOrs
from his fellow Republicans in Ohio.
Possibly there mas been no president, at
least for a generation, who has been
so closely identified with the practical
politics and politicians of his state as
William Mckinley. He has been many
times a candidate for Office and has re-
ceived, of course, assistance from
great many Ohio Republicans. He serv-
ell for many terms in congress, he was
elected governor of the state, and dur
ing his career in state politics the line
between his political friends and his po-
litical opponents was very sharply
drawn. He is a man who remembers
the friends who have stood by him,
and he is grateful for their assistance.
Having been so often the recipient Of
favorS from Ohio Republicans, it is but
natural that President Mckinley should
appreciate the services rendered and en-
deavor to repay them in grateful man
ner That perhaps explains to some
extent why the Ohio Republican is par
ticularly persona Srata at the White
House Aside from this consideration,
however, it is well to remember that
Ohio Republicans have great aptitude
for getting there. Already that state
has been the birthplace Of six presidents
Of the United States, three of them
having been elected president while res
dents of the state.

"John Allen, my Joe John, that's tho

song that is popular around Tupelo Miss
Allen has represented his district In con-

House as possible. and I've in Washington.
In 1855 the congressman used to trot from
the capitol to the White House and back
again every day IN. the week except Sun
days. He had about ten presidential post
offices IN his district that were being oc-
cupied by Republicans. He wanted changes
made and he told the president SO with
buch emphasis. Then, after having deiv-
cred himself OF his positive language. he
would turn around and relate to the pres,-
dent one OF his jokes. told in his peculiar
and inimitable way. The president seeming
~ enjoyed them al first, but as they grew
IN abundance and length he finally seemed
TO weary OF them. The first estrangement
was brought about in this wise:

Allen one day, this list hold in my hand

Allen saw the point of the presidents re-
marks and went away. Weeks elapsed
and the Republicans continued 10 handle
the mails IN his district. Again the con-
gresham commenced his visits 20 the

president tire OF his stories, for the reason
that the listener had no humor in him nor
