FIRE THREATENS
AMERICA MARU
Coal in Japanese Liners
Bunkers Bursts Into
Flames.
The Arabs, After Several
Hours Pumping, Puts
Out Blaze.

Fire was discovered early yesterday
morning in the coal slowed in No. !
bunker Of the japanese liner America
Maru. lying at the Pacific Mail wharf.
Fire ir1 coal bunker is a not infre-
Quent occurrence on board steamship
and is not necessarily alarming. The
fire on the America. however, developed
into a pretty warm cOnfia grafton be-
fore il was subdued.
II was about o'clock a. m. that the
first alarm was given. All hands were
turned out and il was not long before
the fire was located. knowing that
the escaping gases would fill the lower
decks, no attempt was made to fight
the fire from between decks. Instead,
= hole was cut through the decks above
the fire and water was pumped in by
the Pacific Mail tender Arabs.
Before the opening could be made
the bulkhead inclosing the bunker was
redhot and some of the surrounding
woodwork was burned. When the
opening was made great volumes Of
black smoke rolled out Of the bunker
giving the idea that the liner was all
in flames. The water soon began to
have effect. and within four hours the
fire was eXtingUished.
The fire is supposed to have been the
result Of spontaneous combustion. A
survey viii be made today for the pur-
pose OF estimating the extent of the
damage. The America will sail Satur-
day for the Orient.

A Sonber Dinner Party.

Mr.. julius Brown, the eccentric son
Of War Governor Brown, OF Georgia,
gave a dinner last Friday, which was
remarkable for it's somberness. There
were twelve persons present, one IT
whom was Governor Terrell.
On the table was a thick velvet
cloth At each cover was placed a
black dinner card, together with a card
bearing the figure OF a Gibson girl A
skull was by the side Of each place,
while suspended from the chan lai:"r
was another huge skull of ashy white,
under which, on a black pedestal, sat
the figure Of a monk. draped in black.
Candles were at each plate, and
there was a candle for every course
of the dinner. With the end Of each
course a candle was snuffed out, this
being continued through the dinner un-
til there was no light left on the table,
though those in the corner of the room
were st.I burning.

That Linen Shower"

In the linen shower given in honor
of Miss Allie Van Julian we stated
that many of the verses accompanying
the gifts were worthy of publication
as the following will testify:
I'm mad. I've been mad for an hour
Because I'm not invited to the linen
shower.

treat me so,
And even now, 1 have half mind to
go.
At any rate, / guess that l can send
my linen
And run the risk of being told Tn

Because I've "butted in" and choose to
have a share
In showing you that there are those
who care
Because you're going tn take up with
man
And leave us here to get along as best
we can.
Its difficult to know just what's the
proper caper,
But I've decided that I'll send some
linen paper,
And if you choose to write line or
two to me,
I'll know I'm not forgotten and III be
little better satisfied, but you must
know it's hard
To have another fellow walk off with
your "pard."

chair
And realize that / will see you there

And that I'll find no one to take your

Beautiful Property Sold.

We are authoritatively informed that
the beautiful property of Mr.. James
A. Harris at Panassoffeke has been
sold, through the fundamentally of
Mr.. j. N. Strobhar, to some wealthy
gentleman who resided at Atlanta, Ca,
Boston, Mass, New York city and
Toronto, Canada.
These gentlemen have purchased this
property for the purpose of making
ii an ideal winter rendezvous. They
will erect a fine club house and will
spend several months of the winter
seasons fishing and hunting.
They will combine pleasure with
profit and will set the entire property
out to orange and grapefruit trees and
will care for the splendid grove that
is already in bearing and for this pur-
pose have secured the services of Capt
F. d. Poser, of this city, who has
large experience in this direction.
This is a very valuable property
and is beautifully situated for the pur-
pose for which it will be used. II
fronts Panasoffkee Lake and Pana-
soffkee river and the fishing and
hunting are exceptionally fine and we
know that the purchasers will be de-

Miss Louise Harris vas the hostess
Wednesday afternoon at a delightful
hose shower in honor of Miss Allie
Van Julian, whose marriage took place
yesterday morning.
Miss Harris and Miss Julian received
the guests in the hall and assisting
them were Mrs. Harris, Miss Sara
Harris and Mrs. DR.. Powers.
The honor guest was gowned in a
lovely white linen suit trimmed in
lace medallions with which she wore
a dainty lingeriewaist. In the back
hall rose punch was served by Miss
Mary Julian and Miss Sara Davis, the
the young sisters of the bride and
groom.
The rooms were decorated in vines
daisies and roses and a large red heart
suspended from the chandelier, and
tied with red ribbons held the shower,
which was poured over Miss Juhan's
head.
A guessing contest relative to the
brides trousseau, kept the guests
amused for a short while after which
music and conversation were enjoy
ed.
In the dining room which was simp-
ly decorated with vines and white
hydrangeas, heart shaped ices and
heart shaped cakes were served.
The guests included Misses Allie
Van Julian, Mary Julian, Sara Davis,

Editors Meeting.

The meeting of the Florida Press
association was held at Ocala, but
there was not as many members OF
the association in attendance as was
expected. The meetings were held in
the Elks' club rooms and were all well
attended by the people of Ocala. All
the papers red at the convention were
of much interest to all present. We'd
nesday afternoon The editors and their
friends were treated 20 a trip TO Silver
Springs and other places of interest
by the citizens of Ocala. Some of the
parties went in carriages and hacks
and some in automobiles.
Among those who autoed editors to
the springs was Mr.. 5. A. Rawls, and
one Of his guests was the Towering
Pine of st. Petersburg" Gus Haley
guided another auto, in which were
Editor Smith, of the White Springs
Herald, Miss Annie Ball, of the Key
West Advertiser, Miss Evelyn Pelot of
Ocala, and Miss Sallie Cummings Of
the Deruniak Herald, but at the juno
ton where the Sharp's Ferry road
branches, Gus lost a tire, and when
the twelve vehicles were returning
from the springs he was striving to get
a Jehu.
Mr.. Haley deserves great credit for
his untiring efforts in touring his par
ty to the spring with the automobile
he had. Every other mile he would
have to stop and mend tire. In fact
the entire party that went in the auto
mobile should be congratulated for
their patience.
The convention adjourned Thursday
to meet next year at Key West. We
made a noble fight TO get the editors
to meet here next year, and only with

Daughters of the Confederacy, has re-

box containing flowers and southern
moss for Stonewall Cemetery. Mrs.
Love has had the flowers put on the
graves in the Florida lot and on the
Florida monument, and there is now
no more prettily decorated spot in the
cemetery. The flowers were sent to
Mrs. Love by Mrs. Sheldon Stringer,
the president of the Brooksville chap
ter, United Daughters Of the Confed-

Florida lot was beautifully decorated
this year by the ladies of Winchester
and Stephens City, this county" The

The GubernatoriaI Bee Busy in Many
Bonnets.

At Ocala Mr.. McBeath nominated
Frank Harris, the veteran editor of
The Banner, for Governor. Naming
the next governor is a favorite pastime
about now with the brethren of the
press, and the following list of posi-
bilities is going the rounds: Park
Trammell, of Lakeland, president of
the last senate; Albert w. Gilchrist, of
Punta Gorda, speaker of the house of
representatives of 1905; E. S. Grill, of
Palatka, formerly state treasurer; r.

member of the railroad commission; N

commission; Jefferson B. Browne, who
will retire from the commission next
January; ]. N. C. Stockton, of Jack

of Jacksonville; Attorney General FL

Arthur Williams, of Fernandina. From
Bitch, Gibbons, Tucker, BroOme and

not have it, but he may change his
mind in two years. Mr.. Stockton's am
bition is to go to the United States
Senate. We used to call Cromwell Glib

just to see him smile and make dim
pies, but he will hardly be seriously
considered. There is no doubt that
General Gilchrist expects to make the
race, or that gubernatorial bees are
buzzing around the others, but as any
announcements so far in advance
would be highly improper, it is only
fair to say that none of the men with
gubernatorial aspirations are response

ANDREW JACKSON.

Sixty-one years ago (June (S) the
greatest democrat of the past century
Andrew Jackson-died at the Her
mitage, near Nashville, Tenn.
He fulfilled the definition of a demo-
crat in America-that is, she was a
man who looked to the declaration of
independence to learn what rights he
possessed and to the constitution of
the United States TO learn how many
Of them he had surrendered to the fed
eral government for the general well
fare"
Andrew Jackson was not an indie
pendent in politics. He was a partisan
of the highest type and the strictest
sect. He did not find il incompatible
with his principles and his sense of
duty to desert the franks and turn
party-wrecker when the consensus of
the party as to the policies did not ac-
| cord with his own preferences. He
stuck to the flag, remained in the
ranks and fought for the right read
justment of the creed or practices of
the party.
1t is a strange notion of patriotism
in this day that advocates the opothe-
sis of the mugwump. History does not
tablished a great principle to which
they professed pIu-perfect attachment
and bushwhackers have never won a
cause for God or man by fighting al
ternately for and against each side of
the issue.
Andrew Jacks IN was model demo-
crat and patriot. He did not content
| himself with wrapping about him the
robes Of political Phariseeism, climbing
a tree and yelling at the men in camp
or on the march that they were "a
cabal, a clique and a corporatiOn-rid
den crowd" He never charged cor
ruption on his own party. but if he
believed any to exist in ii, he hunted
| it down and burned it out with names.
| data figures and incidents. He never
limited charges that he dared not voice
in the oper. He never went cunning
with blank cartridges for intangible,
invisible spooks, under the name of
self-seekers and spoilsmen.
Andrew Jackson stood for the demo-
cratic party and for all that attached
to it's mission for the people. If he
criticised its men or measures, he criti-
cised them as democrat and not as
an independent" If other men fell
away from the palladium of party
principles, he only stood the closer to
| It and defended it with the harder
valor. His example is good for real
democrats in all ears. It is especially
good for them now when mugwumpery
is masquerading under the cloak of
Iiconoclastic "independentism." At
