BIRTHDAY DINNER PARTY.

Quite brilliant social event of the
week was the dinner party give by
Mr.. Martin j. Roess at the Ocala
House Wednesday night in honor of
his guest Mr.. Fred Lewis, of Norfolk,
Virginia.
February the fifteenth is Hr. Lewis
natal day and in celebration of the
event Mr.. Roess planned this charm
ing evening.
At O'Clock at very prettily ap-
pointed table, the guests were seat
ed. There were covers for twelve
and an elegant dinner was served in
courses. The decorations of the table
were the Cornell colors, red and
white, both Mr.. Roess and Mr.. Lewis
being Cornell students. Broad bands
of red and white satin ribbon and
sprays of smilax were prettily ar
ranged on the table and III the GEN.
.er was a vase of red and white car
nations. At =, ach place were white
carnations tied with red ribbon.
Mr. Roess' guests were Mrs. Rachael
Roess, Mr.. Fred Lewis. MIR. and Mrs.
Cristy Welsh, DIR. w. H. Powers, Mr..
II Y
Violet Harris, Mary Anderson, Sue
Barco and Sara Harris.
The conclusion of this lovely din
ner party was a moonlight, trip to
Silver Springs.
The young people thoroughly en-
jOyed the six mile drive over the
hard road, and on reaching the
springs embarked on the handsome
new launch, the ''Winona." And
what can be more delightful than a
moonlight trip down this beautiful,
tortuous and serpentine stream. The
moOnlIt sky above, the veil OF moss
that Grapes the hoary forms of the
old cypress and other beautiful trees,
and the clear spring beneath all go to
make up an exquisite picture that
will linger long in the memories of
these young p :Ople.
IT'S the sout1land'- sweetest spot,
Famed in legend, song and story:
The Eden sweet. Deooto sought,
When the Indian sang its glory-''
The party went down this beautiful
stream, that has been rightfully call
ed the ''Fairy's Mirror for a num-
Der of miles and it was with great
reluctance that they started home
ward, arriving shortly after midnight.
Tue evening from beginning TO end
was d most delightful and happy one.

In a short paragraph, the Nash
vile Banner gives some interesting
facts as to the Populist and Social
list vote. 1t says that the Populist
vote in eighteen States from which
full returns have been received vas
1887 last month, as compared with
a vote in the same States of 1851
in 1900. In these States the Social
list vote was 1892 in 1900 and 243,-
Isl this year. An estimate based
upon these States indicates that the
total vote given Debs this year will
not be much in excess of 100000, in
stead OF 100000, as has been claimed.
The Populist vote for Barker in 1900
was 5O,373, but this year the Watson
vote may be something over 100000.

even went further and obtained
from Congress Kalb as his second
and Washington as his direct supe-
rior. Thus he, almost a mere boy,
outwitted the enemies of his beloved
chief and plainly showed his purpose
to share in nothing that might seem
like a slight to the General. The ex-
petition had to be recalled, however,
because Gates, of the commissary
department, failed to make the nee
essary provision for clothing, stores
or transportation.
Lafayette was in the camp at Val
ley Forge when he read that his gov
eminent had acknowledged the indie
pendence of America, and had dated
her independence from the moment
of her own declaration. Thinking
of his own oppressed countrymen,
he said, with prophetic vision,
Herein lies a principle of national
sovereignty which one day will be
recalled to them at home"
And this sentence shows an earn
estness unusual in one so young and
so favored. If he had chosen, in
stead of suffering the hardships Of
that memorable camp, he might have
been sharing the pleasures of the
French aristocracy in gay Paris.
"The splendor of the Bourbon
monarchy" says Mr.. Bancroft, "was
kept up at the Tuileries and Yer
sailles with prodigal m~agnifcence,
and invention was ever devising new
refinements in social enjoyments.
The queen was happy in the dazzling
scenes of which she was the life;
the king. a young nan of four and
twenty. whom his Austrian brother
in-law described as a child, was
pleased with the absolute power
which he held it his right to exer
else"
Or, if Lafayette had found these
gayeties and such a king ~unbearable,
he might have cast in his lot with
the British a]ristocracy in their eff
fort to subdue the patriots-he
might have done so if he had not
hated both tyranny and the English.
And so he chose Valley Forge in
stead of Philadelphia where General
Howe's troops passed the season in
a round of gayeties.
Of this, more next week.

How to Find Out.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty
four hours; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys; if it stains the linen it
is evidence of, kidney trouble; too
frequent desire to pass it, or pain
in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
Of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowl-
edge so often expressed that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulflls every wish
in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to
get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary eff
feet of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its. Won

cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar
sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney rem
edy, and a book that tells all about
it, both sent absolutely free by mail.

War has been outlined. Lafayette ant
Franklin have been indicated as tn
leading actors in the drama; othe.
characters not so prominent hay
also been mentioned.
Lafayette, however, is the foreign
er upon whom our interest centers
The story of his life reads like
romance; we should use it to help GU.
pupils to realize that history is jus
about folks. who are, after all, yer,
much like ourselves.
The fact that Lafayette volun
teered his services, and provided hi!
own vessel to convey himself and hi
friends to America has already beer
mentioned. / wish to emphasize tina
he was only nineteen, that he pos
sessed an income equivalent to abour
forty thousand dollars a year, anc
was happily married to a wife who
sympathized with his love of liberty
Such enthusiasm as he showed
may, perhaps, have been due, In Part
to a youthful love of adventure
Yet his conduct during that gloomy
winter at Valley Forge proves that
in spite of his lack of years, he was
well-balanced and faithful.
1t is well-known that Washington
not only endured the distress of see
ing his army miserably clad and fec
while Congress wrangled and failed
to provide for their necessities, but
that he suffered attacks upon his
management of the war, and knew
all the while that jealous rivals were
plotting to supersede him.
Among these rivals or critics was
one Conway. a French officer of Irish
descent; others were Gates, Richard
Henry Lee, Benjamin Rush, mad
Anthony Wayne. Conway is repre-
scented as saying: "Heaven has been
determined to save YOU country, or
a weak general and bad counsellors
would have ruined it." The cor
respondents of Gates spoke in their
letters with bitterness and contempt
of the commandments. Lowell,
of Massachusetts, wrote to Gates
''ITow d~iffcrcn: your conduct and
your fortune. This army will be to-
tally lost unless you come down and
collect the virtuous band, who wish
to fight under your banner" These
conspirators did all they could to
provoke Washington to resign.
In bright contrast to this despica-
bic conduct. stands out Lafayette's
fidelity. Conway tried in vain to
ALLEVIATE him from Washington; then,
failing in the attempt to induce him
to abandon the United States, the
board of war sought to seduce the
young Frenchman by appealing to
his love of glory. Entirely ignoring
Washington, the board of war in
duced Congress to sanction a winter
expedition against Canada, under
Lafayette, who was not yet twenty
one years old, with Conway for his
second in command, and with Stark.
