upon to decide by their ballots
whether or not the city of Ocala

this subject, and should give the

out, gentlemen, whether YOU are
for Or against, let the subject be
discussed from both sides, so that
every voter may be in a position
to intelligently cast his ballot on

LEAF SOCIAL.
4 Unique Feature introduced into
Church Entertainment.

The Leaf Social at the Episcopal
rectory last night was not only
novelty in its way but drew a
splendid gathering and proved an
evening Of much social pleasure.
It is needless to say that Rector
Gray, his charming wife and her
sister, Miss Polk, were every
where among the assembled, and
by warm shake of the hand, a
pleasant greeting, kindly sug-
sestions or an interested inquiry,
soon put every ybOdy at ease.
During the evening those pres
ent were agreeably entertained
by sweet music, vocal and instru-
mental, the performers being
Miss Whitfield, Miss Harder and
Mr. J. T. Jones. In passing it
may be said that Mr.. Jones is
certainly an expert on the piano
and his perfect touch makes the
ivory keys speak most touchingly
and delightfully."- to ones sense of
harmony.
Mrs. Albert Birdsey stood at the
entrance to the rectory and with
that irresistibly winning smile
and persuasive voice performed
the important duties of selling
''leaf tickets" and did it all with
that charming personality that is
hers.
OF course refreshments came in
due season, and when the leaflets,
on each Of which each person
must write a couplet to rhyme
and chime with the name on the
leaf, were presented, it caused no
end of heart flutter to the young,
who came to the task nobly and
enthusiastically. Some of the
staid business men flinched, but
paid their dime forfeiture and
gracefully retired.
The greatest interest centered
III reading the touching tributes
inscribed on the leaflets, which
Mr.. Jewctt did splendidly, and
caused no end of iocular comment
and merriment, for some were
quite witty and amusiEgly sug-
gestive Of tun.
MesGames Hooker and Bittin-
ger and MISS BERTHE Badger were
named Judges and awarded II
ma gnilicent, Only a Pansy Bios
son." to Mr.. Jewett, who formu-
lated tits touching sentiment:
when left alone without his wife
y man has lost one-half his life,
Realistic from the act that Mr.. j..
had been separated for three
months from his de voted spouse,
who but yesterday afternoon re-
turned to her liege lord, and it is
needless to remark that domestic
felicity reiGns in their home.
Mr.. Jewett also proved himself
a capable auctioneer, disposing of
two cakes, one az thirty cents and
the other for q dollar.
Then all bid host and hostess
good night and retired with pleas
iant memories Of an evening we'll
spent.
Judge and hrs. Hooker, who
made their social qualities felt
by the pleasant manner in which
they entered into the affairs OF
the evening, were present.
One lady remarked: "Is that
Judge Hooker? First time 1 ever
saw him. I didn't think he could
unbend and deisn to smile, but he
IS really charming." But te

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
To Every Voter is the Electric Light
Election to be Held October 10.

We are aroused from our indif-
ference and to sense of cur
duty as editor by the cOmmuni-
cation of enquirer" in this issue
of our paper, in which he calls on
the papers of the city to state
their position on the question of
whether the city of Ocala shall
own it's lighting plant.
We acknowledge our remiss-
ness, not because we have not
given the question a thought, but
that SO many other matters per-
tanning to the welfare of our city
have engroSsed our time and at
tention to almost the exclusion Of
this very important question and
one of great interest to every
tax payer and property owner of
Ocala and one the proper discus
sion of which may prove of in
calculable value to those whose
homes, business and means of
livelihood are bound up in our
community, in that it may prove
a better service in the lighting Of
the city, saving of expense,
thus opening the way of other
reforms in the economical running
of our municipal government.
The Star is for the furtherance
Of any plan, method or work that
will bring the best results to
those who have to bear the bur
dcns Of their maintenance, at the
same time enhancing the good
name, growth and prosperity of
the city.
The ownership Of an electric
plant and the city doing it's own
lighting is one Of them and one
that should elicit the best thought
and largest information on the
subject Of every person entitled
to cast a vote.
Without going into details, we
will say that the present expense
OF lighting our city by electricity
is, in round numbers, $4,000 a
year. The sum asked for in the
councils resolution to establish q
plant is $4,000.
1t is claimed that an electric
plant properly managed will be
able to pay it's running expenses
out of it's receipts for commercial
lighting. If this is SO then the
city has a big margin Of profit
and saving in owning its own
plant, for the interest on $4,000
at per cent. is S1,28O. bat good
business men say this money can
be borrowed for term Of years
at per cent. which would make
the annual interest 5000, and 9TH
ers are sanguine that the loan
can be obtained at 5 per cent,
which would make the annual in
tercst account $500. This being
so the city will make a saving Of
$4,000 year between contra citing
for it's lights ana owning it's
works and doing its own lighting.
~ 1nt of y
the matter and make the saving
only one half Of the figures given
and by your ballots you make a
saving in your city taxes Of ST.
600.
But not to make this introduce
tory too long, we refer to Jack
sonville's ownership Of it's elec-
trio light plant and the splendid
showing it has made in giving d
better service at a large saving
to its tax payers.
That the municipal ownership
and operation Of water, gas and
electric light plants is vital
question and one that has taken
q firm hold on the minds OF
thoughtful people and those who
have made it a deep study, we
need but refer to the fact that il
that great convention OF Amcri.
can municipalities held few
weeks ago in Columbus, Ohio

Energy From Volcanic Heat.

The energy stored in the coal beds
 has rightly been referred back to the sun, and if is no doubt to the same source thatye should ultimately attrib- ute the heat developed at great depths below the surface of the earth. While it is believed that no practical attempts to utilize this subiegranean heat have yet been carried into effect, there ap- pears to be no good reason why the at tempt should not be made, especially in volcanic regions, where quite high ten- peratures should be revealed tt moder- ate depths
 In q Colorado mining town an inter esting combination was recently ob- served which q little Ingenuity might have converted into considerable source of power. Within 20 feet of each other were tygo springs, one of 8 tom perature of nearly 260 degrees r. and the other not over 60, the flow of each being very uniform and the temperature quite constant Tine theoretical efficiency might readily be determined from the well known law of the1modyiamies, and the use of one stream to yapQri1e and tho Gt!ieI t0 e0Hdetae s0inc yVidtiic liquid, snch IS ammonia CT bispIphids of carbon, might enable fair percen- tage of the energy 10 be utilized which is now running to waste --Cassier's
