While the wheels Of industry revolve

mess of life, there lies upon a bed of
suffering, nearing rapidly, perhaps, the
pearly gates of the Great Beyond, one
of the most distinguished and remarka-
BILE women of our State and time.
Mrs. Ellen Call Long was born, the
first white child in Tallahassee, Septem-
Der 9th, 1926, on the estat where
she has since resided and now lies very
i'll, perhaps dying; and she will there
fore be, If she lives until tomorrow,
80 full years of age. AS all Floridians
well know, she was the eldest daughter
Of General Richard X. Call, one of
Florida's most distinguished pioneers,

reached the town, bells were runR, cam

soon became the pet and pride of the

needed, were authorized, the Mayor

One of the best things the officials of
the sanitary department have done is to
order the removal Of closets on some
premises which were public nuisances.

tainly fortunate in possessing faithful
and devoted heath officials, and may
feel assured that the sanitary condition
of the city will be kept to the very
highest point of efficiency and safety.

J1AN's VIEW.
What q JNpAnsse Statesman Says
Ahaht the Treaty.

The press dispatches have recited the
terms Of peace adopted at the Ports.
mouth conference, and which are now
being formulated into a treaty, but the
real issues and their disposition have
been little Understood by the general
public, The Russian representative is
said to have exulted as at magnificent
diplomatic victory, but there is another
side to it.
The following statement was made by
M. SatO, in behalf Of the Japanese en-
voys:
"The questions of the final disposition
of the Island Of Sakhalin and the reim-
bursement of Japan for the cost of the
war, have been, from the first, the is
sues on which the widest divergence of
views has existed.
Both of these points threatened the
existence of u conference.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan,
responded to Me dictates of humanity
and civilization and in the interest Of
peace, authorized his plenipotentiaries
to waive the question of reimbursement
and consented to the division Of Sakha-
lin on terms mutually acceptable, thus
making it possible to bring the impor-
tant work Of the conference to a sue
cesstul issue.
THE TERMS.

derating influence in Korea.
Second Mutual obligation to evacu-
ate Manchuria; Russia to retrocede to
China all special privileges there.

That Sheriff Sale.

In a corner of a weekly newspaper
published in Tallahassee appears an adj
vertisement purporting to be a notice
of a sheriff's sale, to be made October
2, 1905, of IAN the right, title and in
| terest of |. B. Hilson, the said defend
ant, in and to one % Gordon jobber
press, two (2) Cottrell presses and one
~ Otto gas engine, said property be-
ing in the possession Of the Capital
Printing Company etc.
This is the same property which was
sold under a similar advertisement, on
the 7th day of August, and purchased
at such sale by the proprietor of The
True Democrat, John G. Collins.
At the same sale, in August, Mr.. w.
A, Rawls purchased, for 81, a Morse
gas engine, but the same is not now ad-
Vertised to be resold. Why?
After the August sale the deputy
who conducted it was called upon by
Mr. Collins, the purchaser of the above
named property, rendering the amount
bid thereon, for possession of the same.
AS he did not or could not deliver the
property according to the requirements
of the sale and the law, he was notified
by Col. r. W. Williams, the attorney
for the execution creditors, as we'll as
by the purchaser, that the sheriff would
be held responsible for such failure to
deliver. He was also instructed by said
attorney to make additional levies of
other property Of the defendant in fur
Their satisfaction of the executions, and
expressly directed by him to advertise
the same, when ready for sale, in The
True Democrat.
1t therefore appears from the adver-
tisement Of resale above referred to,
that this deputy sheriff has not only
failed to deliver to the purchaser prop
erty lawfully and properly purchased at
a public sheriff sale, but has assumed
judicial powers, in regarding such sale
as null and attempting to sell the same
property again, and has ignored the ex-
press instructions of the attorney Of
the execution creditors TO make further
levies and advertise the same in The
True Democrat
Of course, no such sale as is proposed
can be regarded as legal or lawful, and
the deputy sheriff is simply involving
his superior in complication of official
troubles which is sure to prove both
vexatious and costly.

EFFECT ON FINANCIAL WORLD.
New York, Sept. 1.-James A. Blair.
banker and one of the principal owners
OF the Seaboard Air Line, speaking of
the effect Of the treaty and of the Presi-
dents efforts to consumate it, said:
President Roosevelt is entitled
to all the credit for bringing about this
consumation. He alone made it pos
slble for the ENJOYS to get together I'M
der the most favorable conditions, and
he alone, by his prompt and decisive
methods, healed the breach that seemed
to widen and, at the time the ENJOYS
seemed farthest apart, brought peace
and concord to the two nations. His
action will live in history.
so far as the effect on the financial
world is concerned, it can hardly be de-
termined. AS matters stand at present
no money is to change hands. Russia
is not to pay Japan any indemnity at
this time, and | cannot see how the
settlement of the war could have any
immediate. effect upon the financial
situation"
