MRS. A. G. PARKER
PASSED AWAY.


The community was shocked Monday
evening 10 learn of the death of Mrs.
Ankle Green Parker, wife OF J. p. Par
ker, which occurred at her home at
$50 o'clock of hemorrage of the lungs.
Deceased was a most remarkable
character. Born at Covington, Tenn,
sixty-three vars ago. she was reared
TO womanhoOd and was married after
which three years ago, she moved with
her husband TO Ocala, where for sew
erai years she was a successful music
teacher, being recognized as one of
the finest musicians in the country.
She was the authoress of what is
system. which has been approved by
musicians all over the world as the
best system for beginners, and the SAT-
est system for advanced pupils ever
published.
Nine vars ago Mr. and Mrs. Parker
came TO this city from Ocala. They
purchased home on East Main ST.
N, amid magnificent cluster of wa
ter oaks. and have lived there in all
the the happiness that human soul
could desire.
Mrs. Parker, so passionately fond Of
music. which denoted a clear consci-
ence and a good soul. could not de-
sist from taking pupils. with the re-
suit that her patronage was more than
she could physically bear from the
labors attended thereto, but she had
the consolation of knowing that she
had turned out from her little conser-
vatory more thorough musicians than
any other school of the kind in Flor
ida
Deceased was possessed of most
gentle, genial disposition. She not
only loved her profession, of which she
was mistress. but she loved evry pupil
who came under her instruction. She
was indeed a tender hearted woman.
and one whom will never be forgot
ten by those who owe TO her the cor
rectness Of their training.-Gaines-
VILE Sun.
The funeral Of Mrs. Parker was held
in Gainesville Friady morning and
was largely attended by the friends
Of the deceased.
The Ocala friends of Mrs. Parker
learned with sadness of her death and
deeply sympathize with the Borrowing
relatives.
Mrs. j. A. Pittman. a neice of Mrs.
Parker, was with her at the time of
her death and Mr. Pittman went up To
attend the funeral.

AS to Dipsomanlac Law.

LINCOLN-An effort is being made

the Lincoln hospital for the insane,
to find out just how much benefit the

of the legislature two years ago has
proved DR.. Hay has sent out in

treated at the hospital since the pas.
sage of the law, either for the drink
or drug habit On the answers to
these letters his statistics will be
based. Some of the replies already
received show that permanent cures
have been effected by the treatment
at the asylum. Others tell sad stories
of backsliding on the part of the pa
tients into the old habits.
DR.. Hay declares it to be his firm
belief that in most of the cases in
which the treatment has been proved
to be of but transient benefit, the fault
is mainly to the mistaken zeal of the
friends of the patient. Often as soon
as the liquor or drug has been entirely
withdrawn from the patient and he is
beginning to exist in comparative
peace without it his friends begin to
clamor to have him sent home. This
Dr. Hay says, is serious mistake. He
believes that patients in the dipso
maniac ward should be kept in the
hospital for at least year after the
liquor or drug they crave has beer
entirely withdrawn from them. IL
that time the weakened power of the
patient will have a chance to reasser
itself and he will have much less dfi

Child Burns to Death.

) PIERCE-The little five-year-old
daughter of Fred Luombe, a farmer,
living north of town was burned to
death 1t seems that an older sister
had started a bonfire in the yard and
in some manner the fire caught the
little ones dress. The older child ran
to her mother for help and when
she ran out to rescue the child, found
it lying by the gate in the last agony
of death, the fire having burned all
the clothing on the child's body. The
little one lived but short time after
being taken into the house.

Fight on the Amendme Mt.

1t is reported here. says a Lincoln
dispatch that the railroads intend to
fight the amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for a railway commits
sion by going into court at an early
date. The report is that the railroads
will enjoin the canvass of the vote on
the amendment by the legislature and
endeavor to stop proceedings right at
the start. The suit will be based, If
1t is brought, it is said, on the theory
that 1t is illegal to adopt constitu.
tional amendment by counting for
the amendment every straight party
vote cast when the party has endorsed
the amendment in it's state convention

War on Cash Funds.

LINCOLN-If Governor Mickey does
not make war in cash funds which
have been created at state institutions
without color of law, it is believed
Governor Sheldon may have some
thing to say to the legislature in his
inaugural message. Fifteen years ago
cash fund at a state institution was
the exception. Now nearly every in
stitutipn has from a few hundred dol
lars to $4,000 or $4,000 in cash which
it is said ought to be in the state
treasury. The money is derived from
the sale of state property, but instead
of depositing the money in the state
treasury, the heads of state institu-
tons retain it and spend it to suit
themselves, There is no authority of
law for the creation of such funds
The practice has grown up by per-
mission of governors and boards of
public lands and buildings. Either the
governor who appoints heads of state
institutions, or the board of public
lands and buildings which passes on
the expenditures of such appointees
can stop the practice. Both author.
! tiles have given tacit consent to the
practice and it is assuming consider
able proportions.

commission absolute power to handle

Written has had much experience in
these matters. However, he is draw,

observation-disclosures Germany is on
the top wave of prosperity, skepticism
as TO the duration of the boom has
been increasing for several months and
the outside public has kept aloof from
speculative investments in industrial
stocks, Notwithstanding the continued
publication of unusually brilliant an
nual reports by the companies, show
ing large gains, the declaration of divi-
dends, increases in orders and higher
prices for manufactured products. This
sober attitude on the part of the pri-
vate investors is beginning to gain the
support of the manufacturers and
bankers, who, being able to glance be-
hind the scenes of industrial activity,
express fears that the boom has al
ready exhausted itself
When asked to give reasons for this
view, the manufacturers and bankers
point to the dearneSs of money, the
high prices of commodities, the high
wages and the speculative operations
to which all the industrial establish
ments have been committed. The in
dustrial conditions are everywhere ad-
mitted to be sound. Every branch OF
manufacture is taxed to its utmost pro-
ductive capacity, and in the coal and
iron industries supplies must be pur-
chased in increasing quantities from
abroad, chiefly from Great Britain. The
mines and furnaces have booked Or
