THE KINDERGARTEN
Holiday Exercises by the Children at
the Misses Sharpe's School


.Sharpe'e kindergarten class
yesterday afternoon at the
manse was a most enjoy af-
fair, and the little tots, under
the immediate eye of Miss Bette
Sharpe, proved veritable little
prodlgies in reciting and singing.
There was an overflow of
mothers and the fast friends of
the dear little ones, and tLose
who are SO conscientiously ana
ably plotting them toward the
mount Of knowledge.
Everything was expectancy
and the faces Of the mothers
were aglOw with the pleasure it
gave them to witness the youth
fui efforts Of their dear ones,
while the little ones In turn
beamrd back into their dear
mammas' and friends faces that
childish. kindly light of conf
deuce, trust and love that is at
once an inspiration and benedic-
ton.
The very air was resonant
with Christmas chimes and the
delightful things that yule tide
always brings into the minds and
hearts Of child life. ALI their
songs and recltatlonS proclaimed
the Dearncss of Santa Claus and
the bounty Of his saintship, and
the merry Christmas time IN
store for all.
1t is doubtful IN the mind of the
reporter if any subsequent event
In the life OF this excellent school
was attended with the intensity
Of holId'y expectancy and jOllity
that prevailed and inspired every
nook and corner of the building
as well as the patrons and the
patrOniZtd.
1t was d delightful hour,
around which will cluster many
precious memories.
The scene of bright, beautiful
faces impressed the reporter with
the fact that be believes Ocala is
the home Of the handSOmeSt and
sweetest lot of little children for
the slz-, of the town Of any place
IN the state, and has no hesitancy
In making this declaration.

erclses with prayer and Rev.

MISS Annie Sharpe, the princi-
pal, announced that the school
would again open January 3, 1900.
After which the children repaired
to the beautiful and we'll laden
Christmas tree, located in the
hall, and proceeded to unload it
of its tempting fruit and place

STANDING UP LIKE HEROES.

The rainy season Is on in full force.
as may be imagined with q rainfall
of 7.30 inches in twelve hours, but even
with the troops in the field, who are
practically surrounded with water,
there is no complaint.
But it must not be understood that
the American troops are the only suf-
ferers. What is bad for them applies
also to the insurgents in an equal de-
gree, and the fortitude of our soldiers
in standing hardships is bound to have
great moral effect when contrasted
with the action of the Spaniards under
similar circumstances.

experience that the Americans can

then changed hands has won race so
far, and appear te be practically worth
less for racing purposes. When asinine
enthusiasts indulge in laudatory rants

Famous Autograph Cloth.

AT famous restaurant in Vienna is
a remarkable autograph cloth destined
to be in the future a priceless possess
sion and already coveted by curio col
lectors. 1t was the clever idea of the
wife of the proprietor to thus perpetu-
ate the names of royal titled, or other
wise notable patrons of the establish
'ment. With this end in view a square
of satin lined (plain without figure)
was hemstitched and heavily edged
with rich lace, and only used in enter
tanning patrons known to, fame. It
seemed trif1ing favor after the ex-
cellent menu and perfect service en-
Joyed, to write (as politely requested)
ones name on the snowy surface of
the dinner cloth. To-day it is in
scribed with the signatures of almost
all the reigning sovereigns of Europe,
the members of the House of Haps-
burg, and many of the most famous
celebrities in the world of art, music
and letters. In this very unique way.
aside from the success of her husband
in his chosen calling, ne wife also has
accumulated small fortune, as al
ready large sums have been offered
for the precious cloth. Showing that
its value will steadily increase rather
than grow less as time passes, it is
safe to conclude that it's originator
will enjoy the pride Of possession dur
ing her life, or at least for long years
to come. How little she thought that
the bit of art linen, doubtless regarded
by herself even, in the beginning, as
a passing fancy in touch with a craze
of the period, would become of almost
priceless value and also world-famous
within the present century. It will go
down in history as most curious and
valuable of all autograph-cloths, bear
ing as it does the signatures of those
born to the purple" and of others
who by personal achievements have
won laurels of fame

"oLD GLORY" STILL ABOVE.
Lillian Bell Goes Down Into Egypt
and Wins Victory for the Flag.

This Anglo-American line of boats is
the only line in Egypt which flies the
American flag. That was the final in
ducement they offered which decided
my choice of the Mayhower. But while
we knew that she was obliged to fly
the British flag also, we were indignant
beyond words to see a huge Union
Jack floating at the top of the forward
Flagstaff and beneath it a toy Ameri-
can flag about the size of a cigar-box.
Beneath the English flag! 1 nearly
wept with rage. The owner of the line
was at hand and 1 did not wait to
draw up petition or to consult my
fellow-Americans. 1 just said: 'Have
the goodness to haul down that infant
American flag, will you? 1 have no
objection to sailing under both, but I
do object to such an insulting dis
parity in size. Besides that, you seem
to have forgotten that the American
flag never flies below any other flag on
Gods green earth!"
He made some apologies and gave
the order at once. The baby was
hauled down amid the smiles of the
English passengers But at Assiout
we were avenged when an enormous
American flag arrived by rail and was
hoisted to the main flagstaff, twenty
feet higher than the British. When
came out on deck that Sunday MORN
ing, and saw that blessed flag waving
above me- everything blurred before
my eyes, and I do assure you that it
was the most beautiful sight 1 saw in
all that European continent. You may
talk about your temples and ruins and
your old masters! Have you ever seen
"Old Glory flying straight out from
a flagstaff in a foreign country 1000
miles away from home?-Lilian Bell

iects of Living News
Interest.

Fresno Republican,: The Stockton
sMaiP' still processes to believe that
the Republican newspapers would obey
orders from Washington to advocate
an American monarchy, and that the
issuance of such orders is not in the
least inconceivable. We are sorry for
the MAIL If it is capable of believ-
ing such things it must have strange
ly depressing view of human nature,
and if it is capable of saying them
without believing them it must have
an equally depressing opinion of itself.
STRANGE.
Pasadena News: Isn't it funny that
a fellow will leave a good, comforta-
BILE and pleasant surrounding and go
down to the beach and crawl in a tent
or a clearinghouse room and fight
fles and fleas and get his eyes full of
sand and find red hairs in his mush
and run the risk of getting stingarees
in his trilbys, or go to the mountains
where gnats get in your eyes and rat
tlesnakes crawl and tarantulas live,
and then come back home stiff and
used up and assert with sanctimonious
face and hope of forgiveness in his
heart declare that he has had good
time?"
THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
Stockton Independent: That Presi-
dent Mckinley will be renominated by
the Republican convention next year
no one doubts. That he will be unani-
mously renominated is confidently be-
lieved. Nowhere is there a hint Of
opposition in the Republican party,
Nor is this unanimity due to the feel
ing that in time of war and national
troubles abroad it is a party duty as
well as patriotic duty to sustain the
particular administration that chances
to be in power. The sentiment in IA
vor of President McKinley's renomi-
nation arises from satisfaction with his
course, admiration for the man, and
the conviction that he is a stronger
candidate because of his term in the
White House.
The feeling of the country and espe-
cially of the Republicans. is a great
tribute to the character and abilities
of Mr.. Mckinley. In the history of the
Republican party there has ever been
such a unanimity for the denomination
of President. AS matter of fact
there would have been serious opposi-
tion to the denomination of Lincoln in
1864 at Chicago had not the bitterness
been smoothed out and forced back by
secret conference of the League of
Union Clubs, at which Lane made his
great unpublished plea for harmony in
the interest of the Union. Even then
there were thousands of Republicans
who believed that Seward was a great
er man than Lincoln land the real
strength of the administration, while
other thousands thought Chase was
the giant of the Cabinet and had been
abused, and still others who believed
that Stanton was the pillar of the
Union cause and the Cabinet.

THE SACRED AND INALIENABLE
RIGHT.

To most of those people who know little of
universities II seems unnecessary that the
congregation of the University of Chicago,
as il is called, meaning the seventy or
eighty men who are all more or less profess
sors in that institution. should go TO the
trouble of getting together simply TO pass a
resolution declaring that every teacher had
the right to express whatever sentiments he
pleased upon any subject whatever. The
only possible pretext which could be offered
for such action is that suspicious class Of
persons who take delight in referring to the
institution as a benevolent outgrowth of the
Standard Oil Company have limited that nc
professor dared to reflect upon the methods
pursued by those who create monopolies.
and that it is necessary to refute such as
pensions in the most emphatic manner.
There is no ground for such insinua tions.
since not long ago one OF the leading pro-
fessors denounced the artificial capitaliza-
ton of trusts in the most emphatic manner.
because IL involved a menace to the stability
of society. The professor was not rebuked
but the Standard Oil Company has. since
that delivery, poured loo0o0.ooo OF undiluted
water into the stock Of the greatest monop-
oily in the country. 1t may be that this
action grew out of the fac. that a profess
sor of the university. at the Chicago peace
meeting. made statements relative to the
conduct of the war in the Philippines which
made up with virulence what they lacked in
truthfulness-
While IL is true that mention is made in
the Declaration of Independence of certain
inalienable rights, life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness being mentioned. nc
