MEMBERS OF TIE BAR

GIVEN A DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION
AND BANQUET AT THE RESIDENCE
OF JUDGE HOOKER on WEDNES-
DAY EVENING
On last Wednesday evening the
beautiful home Of Judge Hooker
on Ocklawaha avenue was the
scene of an enjoyable gathering
of much more than ordinary i'm
portance and significance. It was
the initial step towards the holding
of an annual reunion and banquet
of the members of the Marion
county bar. Ever since our cir
cult court was established, one of
the great needs of our
oar has been union gathering
where they can lay aside the vim
dictive and combative pant of
their natures that SO largely pre-
walls in their courtroom and office
life and meet each other as citi-
zens, human beings, gentlemen. 1t
is well known fact that attorneys
have keen sensibilities and warm
hearts in common with other peo-
pie. It is also fact that in the
routiae work CT their profession
they have few opportunities to
cultivate either especially as re-
CARDS each other. Judge Hooker
in the bigness OF his heart decided
to inaugurate an annual social
gathering exclusively for members
of the bar as an opportunity to ad,
just personal difficulties and cult
vate social qualities. He invited
them to his home on Wednesday
evening and with the exception of
two or three who were unavoidably
detained, the entire bar attended.
Judge Raney who was in the
city was also present. It was a
most enjoyable occasion and fulfill,
ed to a marked degree the purpose
for which It was intended. Ele
CANT refreshments were served
jokes were cracked. stories were
told and a general good time was
had. 1t is understood that {
gathering similar in purpose to
this one will be held every year.

of an individual. While the State says
nothing to u man who throws away
away his own property, which he has
a right to do as he likes with, IL dis
tinctly has something TO say when he
comes to destroying his forest land,
for here he not only injuries himself,
but he injuries tire whole State. How.
ever, most owners are agreed upon
the necessity of doing something for
the forests, the point is that what is
done should be thoroughly systematic.
1t is systematic work that the com

have done, and their efforts should be
warmly seconded in the Legislature.

ENGLAND's POLICY IN INDIA,

LONDON, NOVEMBER 1O.-Lord
George Hamilton, Secretary of State
for India, in a speech at Acton to-
night defended the forward policy
pursued in India in recent years as.
against the attacks lately made upon
it by John Morley. Herbert Asquith
and other Liberal leaders. He iusti-
ties this policy on the ground that
while checking the Russian advance
toward, India it enabled Russia and
Great Britain TO arrive at an AMIGA
BILE understanding by which their re-
spective frontiers and spheres of in
fnence were being fixed, each recog-
niZing that there was ample room in
Asia for the Legitimate expansion of
both empires.

lovers and that when Gerald Austin
Crank Worthing) is falsely accused
of the crime of numbering his father,
they rose to the occasion and gave as
strong acting. Mr.. Workings scene
with his father in the office was very
good. and his denunciation of his Ia
theirs cold and grasping character was
fine. Some good lines came to his
share here, especially the remark 1.-THE
sneer of the gentleman hurts sensi-
tive woman as much as the blow of
the drunken laborer." Frederick Per-
rvs banker was well carried out. In
old mems parts Mr.. Perry is thorough
ly natural, and shows himself worthy
of following in the footsteps of that
best of old men, Hare. The prologue
gave Selene johnson a great opportu-
nifty, which she took. Her rendering
of Mercedes when she pleads for the
life of her lover was very powerful,
and showed what strength of playing
she possesses.
The play was well mounted, the sit
nations strong, the scenery good and
the effects striking. 1t ran smoothly
and yet with the required dash of a
melodrama. 1t is needless to say it
scored success. Tomorrow we shall

was revived again about the time the
closing price was received, showing a
complete recovery from the early de-
cline. This sent December skyward
again, the price going with hardly a
halt to 934c At that price big trade
was done, large quantities of wheat
being dumped on the market. The
offerings were readily absorbed for a
time, but in the end the weight proved
greater than the market could bear, the
market becoming quite weak when ex-
plicit denials of Russian reports were
received. A noticeable feature during
the advance was dhe refusal of many
to respond excepting in an extremely
unwilling and backward fashion. When
December was readily bringing 93%c,
May delivery barely touched 911sc, and
a house with close Liverpool connec-
tions said they had liberal selling or
ders from the latter place for May de-
livery.
Export clearances of wheat and flour
from Atlantic ports were equal to 440,-
900 bushels. The receipts for the day
at the four principal outside winter
wheat markets Kansas City, st. Louis,
Toledo and Detroit-were only 1S2, 900
bushels out of the total primary mar
ket receipts, which amounted to 1,276,-
600 bushels. The latest trading in De-
cember was at 9214@923sc.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-The sto-
ry of the fate of the missing Norwe-
gian bark Seladon was confirmed to-
day upon the arrival of the steamship
Moana from Sydney.
The Seladon left Newcastle, N. S. w,
or July 13, 1896, for Honolulu with a
full cargo of coal. On the night of Au-
gust 7th at 1870 o'clock, the vessel
struck Starbuck Island While running at
a speed of seven knots, and fifteen min
utes later four feet of water was report
ed in the hold. and two boats were
launched with crews of eight men each.
After laying by the vessel until day
light Captain Jaeger decided to make
for Maiden Island, which he reckoned
to be two days sail. Having nothing
but a chart and compass, however, the
boats missed the island, and attempted
to make Christmas Island, but missed
that also. They then ran before the
wind. and for eleven days proceeded
without miShap.
August 18th the gig capsized, and all
its occupants, except Chief Officer Chris
Nelson, who was drowned. were picked
up by the other boat. Captain Jaeger
died of exhaustion on August 24th, and
was buried.
On the 23d day out, August Both, the
fourteen men divided their last tin of
meat, five pounds, which lasted three
days. Meantime they were dependent
upon occasional showers Of rain for
their water supply. For six more days
they sailed on, too weak to move, and
when all hope had been given up their
boat ran upon the reef of Sophia Islands
and cast them ashore. Fortunately
they were picked UP by natives, who
treated them with the utmost kindness,
but the ships carpenter, T. Olsen, died
from the result of his exposure few
days later.
After subsisting upon cocoa nuts, tur-
tie and seabirds for ten months and ten
days, the steamer Clyde, bound for
Auckland, was sighted. and Captain
Calaghan took the shipwrecked men to
Fiji, where they were transferred to the
bark Ellen, which conveyed them to
Sydney.

Judge Murphy of the Court of Com

County, Commissioners, in special ses-
sion, ordered Sheriff Reichel to take

The prevalent misery among the peo-

AN EX-CONGRESSMAN DEAD.
JUDGE KILGORE OF TEXAS
PASSES AWAY.
Was One of the Best Known Men
in Public Life During His
Service in Congress.

ARDMORE q. T), Sept. 23.-Un1ted
States Judge Kilgore, eX-Congressman
from Texas, died here at 1:10 o'clock
this afternoon after a short illness. He
began sinking this morning. He re-
gained consciousness at noon, and after
calling his wife and children to his bed
side, and kissing them, died almost inn
mediately. The funeral will take place
Tomorrow the remains to be taken to
Texas for burial.
AS a. member Of Congress from Texas,
Judge Kilgore was one of the best
known men in public life He was call
ed Buck by his intimates, and at
tracted wide publicity in the reports
of Congress by kicking down the green
baize door which had been ordered
locked by Speaker Reed during the fill
clustering scenes that made the first
quorum counting Congress memorable.
He supported Mr.. Cleveland ardently,
and after he retired from Congress the
President appointed him one of the
Judges of the Indian Territory.
He was man of distinguished pres
ence, tall and heavily framed, and with
kindly, good -humored face. He was
we'll liked by his fellow-members not
withstanding that he killed many of
their pet measures by his assumption
of the role of objector, when it was at
tempted to push matters through rap
idly by unanimous consent.
Mr.. Kilgore was born in Newman,
Ga, February 90 1885. In 1876 he re-
moved with his parents to Rusk County,
Texas, where he received common
school education. He served in the
Confederate army, first as a private
and by successive promotions reached
the grade of Adjutant-General, serving
as such in Ector's brigade, Army of
the Tennessee. He was wounded at
Chfckamauga. He was admitted to
the bar after the war, and in 1915 was
a member of the Texas Constitutional
Convention. He was Presidential
Elector in 1880 on the Hancock and
English ticket, and in 1884 was elected
to the State Senate for four years, and
in the following year was chosen Presi-
dent of that body for two years. He
was elected to the Fiftieth Fifty-firs
