The State is Responsible.

Rev. j. G.. Porter, of the Oca1a
Star, is having a deal of trouble
about getting pay for publishing
the delinquent tax list for Marion
county.
Owing to the failure of the tax
collector to make the sale on the
day advertised, the comptroller
has refused to audit Mr.. Porter's
account for payment, and in con-
sequence mandamus proceedings
have been instituted to compel
payment Hon. John A. Hen
derson, Judge w. S. Jennings
and Hon. w. K. Zewadski have
been retained by Mr.. Porter, and
with this array of the best legal
talent in the state 1t is quite cer-
tain that the cIse will result fa-
vorably to Mr.. Porter, as it
should. Because Of the failure
of the collector to do his duty
the publisher ough5 not to suffer,
as his work was properly and le-
gally done. The outcome of the
case Will be watched with eager
ness by the pubic in general and
by publishers in partlcular.-Bar.

The Troupe Arrives.

The great Joshua Simpkins
Company, in their big private
car. arrived this morning, and at
noon today gave their great
street parade with the two bands.
The company is a strong one,
carrying special sceners for their
great rIral play, which will be
produced at the Opera House to-
night. The street parade was a
big success, witnessed by a large
number of our citizens who were
highly delighted with the parade
and llu>ic by the bands. A
crowded house will greet them to-
night, as the show Is one Of the
best that has ever appeared in
Ocala, differing from the ordinary
run Of shows. Admission, 80 and
- cents.

The Cold Snap.

The theme Of conversation on
the streets this morning was the
probable damage done by the cold
sna p to the vegetable crops and
young orange trees. l. is gen
orally admitted that the vtgeta-
bles are seriously hurt but the
ordng" trees are thought to be
safe. The young buds may be
killed b lck but the old sprouts
are all right. The thermometer
went down as low as 20 degrees
in some localities. Mr.. George
Close, the prince Of vegeta bic
growers in Marion county, takes
the proper view Of the situation.
He said if his cabblEaS were
killed he would plant Irish pota-
toes, and if the potatoes got
killed be would plant corn. His
motto is "never despair" His 40
acre tomato crop near Clermont
is likely killed to the ground, but
he will have plenty Of time to
plant again.

Pleased With StetsOn University.

Professor Wideman, in speak
ing of his trip to DeLand, says:
"The people Of DeLand wed with
each other in their efforts to have
the teachers enjoy themselves.
The association was never before
shown such hospitality. The pro-
gram was we'll executed and re-
plete with good things which will
probably be of benefit to every
child whose teacher was in at
tendance. But, of all the good
things, nothing SO impressed me
as Stetson University. | have
seen it advertised in the papers
but never imagined it to be of
such magnificent proportions.
Over 100000 have been spent on
buildings, library, etc, and the
faculty consists of twenty-three
teachers. La my judgment there
is not school in the Southern
states better equipped for the
business. Above all others Stet-

A VISIT TO DELAND
The State Teachers Association and
StetSOn University

The proprietor OF this paper
left Oca!a Monday night, Deccm-
Der 9th for DeL1nd via Jackson
vile over the ';old relia ble* f.
G. q Z. railway, to attend thu
State Teachers Association held
at that place. We arrived in
D1L9nd at 2 p. M, the following
day and were soon domiciled at
the coZy, delightful home of Pro
fessor and Mrs. G.. S. Farriss.
We found the teachers, some
800 strong, assembled in the
magnificent auditorium of Stet-
son University. President j. j.
Earle, the handsome principal of
the Oclla High Schoo', was in
the chair and Prof. Warren Darst
of the Ohio Nor~al University,
was in the midst of most inter-
esting address on "Stages of
Mental Growth and Acquisition" :"
Prof, Darst was the paid lecturer
of the Association, and while he
was hardly so fluent and eloquent
as DR.. Boone, who occupied this
position last year, he was to our
mind, more practical and sug-
gestive.
Tie little city Of DeLand was
in holiday attire and extended a
hearty welcome to Florida's edu-
Gators. The center of attraction
of course was Stetson University.
The magnitude and elegance Of
the buildings, the full and COM
plete scientific apparatus, the
most magnificent library, and
handsome grounds completely
captivated every one. Many who
had read and heard much Of this
great school, now seeing it for the
first time, said it far surpassed
even their highest eXpecta tiOns
and others who had visited the
leading institutions of learning in
the South, declared that StetSOn
was equal to the best.
Mr.. 6. p. Glenn, superinten-
dent of public schools 10 Duval
county. after thoroughly inspect
ing the buildings and methods Of
teaching. said he hid no idea
that there was such IA school in
Florida, and that he would GER
tainly send his boy there to be
educated. I:@v. +. Griffith, a
prominent Mpthodi>t minister,
who is also teacher in the Jack
sonville High School, said that
John b. S'etson possessed the
genius and financial ability to
build such an institution of learn
ing and best of all he had sound
judgment enough to place man
at the head Of it with a great
brain and heart, who knows how
to manage it. Mr.. Griffith fur
ther said to the writer, CDR.
Forbes is a wonderful man and
knows how to bring things to
pass. | had the idea," he also
remarked, "that it was a secta-
rian school, but find that [ was
mistaken. While it is under the
auspices Of the Baptist denomi-
nation, | see it is founded upon
the broad and fundamental prin-
ciples Of Christianity, and that
the children of all denominations
have full and equal church privi-
leges ard any effort to proselyte
to the Baptist faith, | am sure,
would not be tolerated. -
We are glad Mr.. Griffith has
this correct idea Of our Univer-
sity and expressed himself so
fully. Stetson University is not
a machine to manufacture Bap-
fists, hut an Institution where
the young people Of orr country
can receive a thorough, Christia n
education. The aim is real cul-

Ata recent banquet in New Orleans one of the speakers referred to the Klon. dike country as follows: "A man told me who had wintered at Klondike seven years that it was so cold in January that they froze tho fumes of their candles and sold them Tor strawberues. He said they kept their fires over night by putting them out in the air and letting them freeze and then ihaw them out in the morning. He said he had seen smoke freeze in the chimney until the fire wouldn't draw, and the reason that nights were so long in that country was that the dark got frozen so hard the day" light couldn't thaw it's way through in less than six months "-Western Min. ing World.
