ell and Spar. These factories are en-
tirely successful and will be enlarged

Death of Or. Pierce

DR.. H. NJ. Pierce, whose sudden
death from heart failure was annOunc-
ed in these columns yesterday, was
one of the most prominent men OF
Rochester, New York. He was a
doctor of laws and prominent man
of letters. He was about seventy
years Of age, and led an active and
busy life. He first came to Ocala at
the outbreak of the phosphate excite
ment, and was here this time by in
vitatiOn of Mr.. Pearson, who is pros
pecting for oil and has strong faith i'm
its discovery.
DR.. Pierce was whole s0uled, gen.
ial, interesting and cOmpaniOnable
gentleman and his death is greatly
lamented.
His remains were shipped to Roches-
ter on the early morning train for
burial.
The remains were accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Isabella Pierce, and
as far as Washington by Mr.. Pearson,
where they will be met by son of
the deceased.

Another Postoffice Ruling,

OF all the absurd rulings of an alb
surd postotlice official that of Edwin
c. Madden, fourth assistant pOstmas-
ter-general, In reference to Mr.. Bry-
ans paper, the COmmOner, takes the
cake. This individual says that "in
case of a gift one person may SUBJ
scribe for another for a newspaper,
OF COURSE; but not when it is on ac-
count of the doctrines advocated by
the editor. Mr.. Madden says also
that Mr.. Bryan may send out few"
complimentary copies; and the latter
gentleman is red-hot after the former
for his definition of the word "few."
In this connection, it may be well
to state that an Epworth League pa
per at Kingston, y. Y, has been re-
fused further Use of the mails as Sec
Ond-class matter because not enough
of its subscribers have paid up. The
paper has been printing about two
thousand weekly, and only half were
settled for in advance.

Miss Ford Gives a Golf Party.

Last Friday afternoon Miss Emily
Ford entertained eight of her young
lady friends with a golf tournament.
The game was begun at 3 o'clock and
lasted until about $780, The after
noon was perfect one and the game
was interesting and spirited, and re-
suited in Miss George Smith making
the uest score. She was awarded the
prize-silver golf stick-pins in a golf
bag. Miss Mabel Taylor, who was
the visiting young lady, was pre-
scented with a gopher hat pin
cushion. Miss FOrd's guests were
Misses George Smith, Mabel Taylor,
of Cincinnati, Mona Hitler, Esther
Weathers, Meta Jewett, Lena Bull
lock and Sara Harris. After the game
the young ladies and a number of
young gentlemen went to Miss FOrd's
home to tea. The evening was in
formally and most pleasantly spent in
playing various games and with vO-
cal and instrumental music.
Miss Ford is always a charming
hostess, and an invitation to her home
insures the recipient an ideal time.

PANIED to know that you are discrimi-

class matter is carried at loss, and q
very heavy loss to the government is
a fact, and ii is also fact that ii is
done in the interest of large publica-

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week:
The future may be said of last week
to have profited at the expense of the
present. In other words current wealth
er conditions, such as heavy snowfalls,
east, west and north, tend to check
buying except of purely seasonable
goods at retail and to limit slightly the
volume of demand in wholesale lines.
On the other hand, the covering of the
entire northern half of the country
with a blanket of snow has bettered
the condition of the winter sOwn crops,
and the outlook for spring trade, as a
whole, has therefore been greatly i'm
proved. No diminition in confidence
in a large spring business is reported.
Among the metals the feature
has been the marked change in the
copper situation, several sharp upward
movements occurring, with the close
l 5-8c higher than the lowest publish
ed price and &c higher than the lowest
rumored sales.
Considerable irregularity is noted in
prices of cereals, hog products and
cotton.
Wheat Including four exports for
the week aggregate 3,702, 1868 bushels,
as against 1888, 679 bushels last week
and 100000 bushels in this week last
year
Wheat exports from July 1. 1901, to
date, 81 weeks, aggregate 165,346, 500
bushels, as against 114,77S,372 bushels
last season.
Wool is in steady demand and firm
with stocks of desirable goods well re
duced.
Business failures in the United States
for the week number 3O5, as against
292 last week, 23S in this week last
year and III in 1900.
Failures in Canada number IS, as
against "a last week and q in this
week a year ago.

Must Isolate Consumptives.

New York. Feb. 4.-Recognizing in
tuberculosis an infectious disease, the ply
sicians of New York are demanding the
isolation of consumptives, for the protee-
ton of the public and to the end that the
sufferers may receive better treatment and
have every possible chance of recovery.
The first step in this direction was made
by the removal of 30 cOnsumptives from
Bellevue hospital to a new pavilion of the
Metropolitan hospital, on Blackwell's ISL
and. Further transfers will be made 20

favorable.

dali of the st. Paul Pinkerton agency,
and this afternoon at 1: 80 the sheriff
and his deputy, Frank Watkins, and
two detectives boarded a special train,
consisting of a caboose and engine,
and, in company with McCarty, went
to Terry 40 miles west of Glendive,
where McCarty had cached the dia-
monds. True to mis- word, he led the
officers to where he had planted the
jewels and they were recovered in
tact, part remaining in the wallet con-
tanning some of the diamonds when
they were taken from the trunks and
the balance in the pocket torn from
