Special Correspondence to the Evening Star.
The beautiful spring weather

Mrs. VIM. D. Carn, who spent
several days with her parents,
Rev. and Mrs. III. G.. Martin, of

Rev. III. G.. Martin left Satur-

in the Baptist church.
The Ft. Mccoy normal school
continues to grow in both number
and interest. There are in at
tendance at present 80 pupils and
several more are expected next
week. 1t is probable that the
number will be increased to about
SO pupils. Mr.. Turner expresses
himself as being most highly
pleased with the interest mani
tested, and he spares neither
time nor energy to make the in
stitution a success. He says that
with a school like this, one cannot
help loving the work.
The normal students, together
with other young people of thi:
place, met at the academy Satur
day evening and organized a lit

thirty members.

Women are not the only ones
who are sensitive about their
ages A man doesn't like to be
told that he is getting old.
Health keeps man young. It
doesn't make any difference if he
has lived eighty years. If they
have been healthy years, he will
be hale and hearty, and won't
look within twenty years as old
as he is. Good digestion, and
rich, red blood make people look
youthful. DR.. Piercc's Golden
Medical Discovery makes rich,
red blood. 1t makes health in
the right way. 1t works accord
ing to the right theory, and in 80
years of practice, it has proved
that the theory is absolutely cor
rect. 1t begins at the beginning
begins by putting the stomach,
liver and bowels into perfect or
der, but it begins its good work
on the blood before it finishes
with the digestive system. It
searches out disease germs wher-
ever they may be and forces them
out of the body. All druggists
keep the Discovery"

Election Contest at Tallahassee.
From the Metropolis.

From the Metropolis.
Tallahassee, April 1o. The
chief feature of interest in the
house this morning was a long
debate on the ST. Johns county
contested election case, which has
been laid over for several days,
in spite of the report of the com
mittee on privileges and elections
to seat Brynes. The debate this
morning was participated in by
Pope and Stockton (DuvaD, Nc
Call (Hillsborough), Carlisle
(Alachua), and Dupree (Colum-
bia), all of whom spoke in favor
of the substitute offered by Stan
ford (DeSoto) for Thayer's (Volu-
sia), motion that the report of
the committee on privileges and
elections be adopted.
Stanford's substitute provided,
in substance, that Byrnes was
not elected, and that Carter IRE
publicaD be seated.
Powerful speeches were deliv-
cred in support of the original
motion by Harris (Monroe),
Thayer and Watson (Osceola)
and DR.. Morgan (Putnam).
Stanford's substitute was finally
adopted by vote of 35 to "a.
The result was greeted with ap-
plause. The fact that Byrnes
was known to be Chipley man
has by no means cut in this con-
test any such figure as ina gined.
The senatorial balloting begins
tomorrow. This, at least, is no
rumor. On that day both houses
will meet in their respective cham
bers, and at high noon proceed to
ballot for a United States senator,
after the manner prescribed by
the constitution. On the day fol-
lowing the senate and house will
meet in joint session in the hall
of representatives, and at noon
cast a ballot for senator, Which
proceeding is to be repeated at
the same hour every day until
the desired majority shall be at
tanned. This, in a word, is the
official programme, made neces-
sary by the constitutional requir-
ments in this direction

In the Justices Coult

Jake Middleton was tried be-
fore Justice Crawford yesterday
on charge of assault with intent
to kill. Saturday night at fes-
tival in Marti City, Middleton
made an assault on Jonas Will
liams, shooting him in the leg and
cutting his throat, both wounds
are serious but will not prove fa-
tai. DR.. Crawford bound the
prisoner over to await the fall
term of the circuit court and fixed
his bond at $4,000, which he be-
ing unable to raise, was remanded
to jail. Both parties were colored,
whiskev was flowing freely at the
festival, which was the cause OF
the trouble.
In the afternoon another case
was heard-that Of Jack Russell,
(colored), for assault and battery,
fined $500 and cost or 80 days in
jail.

BICYCLE DAY.
THE ocALA cYcLERs DETERMINED
TO MAKE THE sTH OF MAY A
MEMORABLE DAY IN THE
HISTORY OF OUR CITY.
LADIES WILL MEET
AT THE ARMORY
TOMORROW

The coming bicycle road race
on May Tth is arousing a great
interest among our local riders.
A number of our business men
have donated handsome prizes for
the winners. 1t is quite likely
that at least five Or six prizes
will be offered in each race and it
looks as If there would be d high
old time to see who wins them.
Both the mems and boys race
will have a large number of con-
testants and it is difficult at this
time to tell which one will have
the most. 1t is quite certain
however that both races will be
the liveliest and most exciting
ever held in this county. The in
dications are that the distance of
the mems race will be about
eight miles and that of the boys
about two miles.
At a meeting of the managing
committee held last evening it
was decided to place the entrance
fee at SO cents for each contest
ant in both races, which will
bring it easily within the reach
of all. The money raised from
the entrance fee will be expended
on track repairs.
All the ladies in the city who
ride wheels or are learning to
ride will be asked to lend their as
sistance in making bicycle day
one of the most pleasant and in
teresting occasions ever enjoyed
in this county. With a large
number who are deeply interest
ed in this exhilerating sport and
the many natural advantages we
have for making the most of it,
there is no reason why we can
not have a memorable day.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3
o'clock the ladies will meet the
managing committee at the new
armory when ladies' committees
will be appointed to work in con-
junction with the gentlemen.
Every lady in the city who is in
terested in bicycling whether they
have learned to ride or not are
invited to this meeting when all
the details will be discussed.
1t is yet a question with the
committee whether to have the
cyclers parade through the day
or in the evening. The senti-
ment seems to be in favor of the
evening parade but no definite
action will be taken until the la
dies are consulted tomorrow.
The committee went over the
entire route this afternoon and
the exact course of the race will
be published tomorrow. AS soon
as the details have been arranged
q full list of all the committees
will be published together with
the race officials and rules gov
erning the, race and parade.
