tn POOR Ye HAVE ALWAYS.

One Of the first items of q town re-
port TO be subjected to the criticism OF
the tar payer, Il the expense OF the poer
account. Big or little, much or more, IL
mikes no difference, there II always 4
vast amount Of grumbling.
Az rule, Il goes without saying that
the overseer IL expected to feather his
nest, and II he does or does not II is all
the same to the grumbler. Many times
the over.eers. with q view TO keeping
down the expense Of this department.
In their endeavor to hire cheap help can
not obtain good and efficient service. IL
requires in both man and woman an
Unborn principle Of humanity.
The man who would hslf-feed on un-
pslstsble food these uufortunates Is not
the msu for such position, and there are
too many such. The man who would do
these things In order TO keep down the
expense, and thereby please the assess
ora and taxpayers, 10 order TO make
himself solid for future benefits, should
be relegsted 70 the rear.
Then again, the assessors should often
visit the home Of these people. Happen
around unsnnounced st meal time, and
observe II cold potatoes and bannock
constitute the meal, or whether all the
palstable food Is reserved for the over
seer's table. Examine the bedding, and
learn II the bed IL fit for human being
to rest on, or whether II has the appear
ance of skunk sucker. The good Lord
deliver me from an old, cheap mattress
that no air can penetrate. Give me n
good, clean straw bed with comforter,
II feathers are scarce, before one OF
these.
Give the old and feeble good easy
chairs. Why not? Try and make life
endurable. Honest poverty Is no dis
grace, even II ''inconvenient," and II
poverty comes about by ones own fault,
as It sometimes seems, these have the
worst OF It.
1t Is quite often the case, and more the
rule, TO buy o home Isolated from human
beings, and for what? Why not give
them home among men? Why not
give them q home somewhere on Gods
green earth where they can see and con-
verse with their kind, and thereby
tighten the load that weighs them down?
And II the overseers are too busy or too
careless 70 look after the comfort Of
these, for humsnity's sake let each town
delegate man and woman TO pay an
occasional visit to look after the inter-
ests of the poor.
This Is no idle sentiment for effect. 1t
IL prompted by the tender emotions Of
the heart, with hope. that others may
be moved to deeds OF humanity, others
with hearts over flowing with kindness,
whose attention may not have been
called in this direction. HUMANITY.

as the Reynolds neIghborhood, on
Orange avenue, about a mile and
a half south of town, held their
annual picnic Wednesday,, and
nearly hundred persons assem-
bled to enjoy the day, which
they did thoroughly, hot as it
was.
The pleasures were OF a social
nature among the old folks, while
the young ones skipped the rope,
swung, played tag" and had a
general good, rollicking, romping;
time.
The dinner was all that the
hungry and most exacting could
desire. Free lemonade ran
riot.
Mr.. Samuel McAteer, with his
fair bride, was present and held a
regular reception, so eager were
his friends to protfer their con-
CALCULATIONS and best wishes.
In the afternoon Rev. T. j.

talk.
Among those we noticed pres
ent were the following families:
Reynolds, Dillaberry, Giles, Ter
rell, Pike, Slappy, Touton. Boo
her, McAteer, Hendrix, Green
and Seymour.
Among the Ocala people pres
ent were Mrs. Cleveland, Mr.. and

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one

manently. Its perfect. freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or Irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

NJ. r. Church south to Convene Here
Tomorrow.
The One Hundred and Fifteenth Annual
Session of the Baltimore Conference, M.
E. Church South, will convene at Mount
Vernon Place Church tomorrow morning
at o'clock.
The opening sermon will be preached
this evening by the Rev. T. E. Carson, of
Roanoke, Va. Bishop ]. c.. Granbery, of
Virginia, will preside and Bishop Alpheus
w. Wilson will be in attendance. The for
mer has been prominently identified with
church missionary work in Brazil and the
latter has just returned from Asia.
The conference Is comprised of 223 min
listers, the majority of whom have signi-
fed their intention of being present In
addition to the ministers present there will
also be large number of lay delegates in
attendance, as each pastoral charge has at
least one representative. The conference
embraces parts of Maryland. Virginia. and
West Virginia, and the number of visitors
present at the annual meetings always
reaches far into the hundreds.
One of the most important questions to
come before the conference is in regard TO
what ought to be done in reference to re-
turning the nearly 100000 paid by the
United States Government for property OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church South de-
stroyed by Federal troops during the Civil
War at Nashville. Tenn.
Seven candidates for admission to the
conference will be examined and the yearly
reports from the different charges re-
ceived. Representatives from the various
educational and charitable institutions Of
the church will be present and submit re-
ports on their work.
The conference will probably continue for
one week and at its conclusion the ap-
pointments for the next year will be made.

ARRAIGNED FOR ARSON.
William II. Mooney Enters "a Plea o
Not Guilty.


Not Guilty.
William II. Mooney, who was indicted
yesterday by the grand jury for arson
was arraigned today in Criminal Court No.
/, before Justice Clabaugh, and pleaded
not guilty TO the charge.
He is accused with having attempted to
burn the saloon of Martin Schneider. at
the corner of ID and Eighth Street south
east. the night of March % last.
1t is alleged by the prosecution that be-
cause of some trouble between Mooney
and Schneider the former purchased
bottle of coal oil. and having saturated
part OF Schneider's building with it was
about to apply a match to it when he was
detected.
Mooney denies this and asserts that the
charge that he had any intention of setting
fire to Schneider's saloon is without foun-
dation. 1t is said that he admits having
purchased a bottle of coal oil on the day
in question but asserts that il was only
preparatory TO little game of draw poker
which he and some OF his friends had ar
ranged to take place at his own home on
the night of March %
William Abbott and Mary Wilson, charg-
ed with adultery, pleaded not guilty. and
Mary Brown. charged with the murder of
her sisters infant child, on January %
last, also pleaded not guilty.
