The Pet Schemes.

The Democrat does not believe for a
moment that the Florida Legislature,
now i'm session at Tallahassee, will at
tempt TO saddle upon the people Of this
State the life insurance scheme sug-
gested and recommended by Governor
Broward in his special message TO that
body. There is no demand by the tax
payers Of Florida for such scheme to
be fOstered upon them, but there is a
strong sentiment throughout the State
against the State engaging in life in
surance, fire insurance or an other
get rich quick" scheme, with dozens
Of high salaried officials; and a great
list Of clerks and minor officers whose
officials depend upon their answering
every beck and call Of the powers that
be, and the expense Of this must be
paid by the citizens of this State. We
believe Governor Browsrd TO be per-
fectly honest and sincere in his convic-
tions about this scheme, but fear he
has studied this matter more from the
standpoint Of an office holder Of the
proposed life insurance scheme rather
than from the standpoint Of a tax
payer. Live Oak Democrat.

Mss ana CURRIE.
Her Playing Won the Heart Of Homer
LlAd at Atlantic City.

Miss Ada Mae Cufrie, an accomplish
ed violinist, one Of SOmerville's talent
ed daughters by adoption, and Homer
Lind, baritone, prominent as a singer
in grand opera and vaudeville, are prin-
cipals in pretty romance.
IL is the happy outcome of an acci-
dental meeting at Atlantic City last
summer, and eliminated this week in a
private announcement Of their engage
ment.
Miss Currie played the violin with a
woman's ochestra at one of Atlantic
City's leading summer hotels, and for
some time, unknown to her, Mr.. Lind
was one of the most devoted of numer-
GUS admirers Of her musical ability.
TheyOuug lady combines all the winsOme
traits of the most cultured Woman of
southern birth: she is refined, modest
and retiring Consequently the singer
of the grand opera experienced ,veXa-
tious delays before he was privileged
to pay his homage in person.
He finally secured the much coveted
introduction through the medium of a
mutual friend. In proper course of
time Mr.. Lind arranged promenade and
yachting parties In which the handsome
young Violinist was his special guest.
After the joyful vacation, Miss Cur
RE returned to her Somerville home
and Mr.. Lind went West to all profess
sional engagements, and is now travel
ing in Colorado and Kentucky. He is
we'll known among Boston devotees of
grand opera, having appeared here in
Henry W. Savage's "Parsifal.
Miss Currie is the eldest daughter of
Mrs. Alice l.. Currie Of as Lexington
avenue, Somerville Highlands. She was
born in Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. is,
1888, and is in her 18th year Her af-
famed is SO. Her father, George b.
Currie, a native of SwantOn, VT, died
at Tallahassee three years ago.
The widow and her three daughters
made a new home at Somerville in
August, 1905, and since then Miss Cur
RE has become famed throughout that
city as a violinist. She began the study
Of music at the age of Z, under Charles
Rice.
At present she is studying violin with
Vincent AkerOyd of Jamaica Plain, and
the piano with Alva Glover Salmon of
Boston. 1t is her intention to retire
from public work and devote her entire
attention TO the completion of her mu-
steal education. For the past year she
has assisted the choir of the park ave-
rue M. E. Church, West Somerville.

of Kingsley post 1873, G.. A. r., Somer-
vile, grizled veterans were moved 10

alphabetically rendered by this charm
ing and unassuming artist from beyond
the Mason and Dixon line.
Shortly before Miss Currie left ITALIA
hassee she was awarded a handsome
diamond ring in a voting contest man
aged by the young men, who gave her
a large majority as the most popular
young lady in the city.

A great effort In being made In Las
Vegas at present towards beautify
ing Hillslte park, In which the Car
negie library is situated. 1t has been
an eyesore for .wenty years past. but
steps are nov being taken to make 1t
one of the beauty spots of the city.
Aimos: all of the organizations OF
Las Vegas have contributed towards
this laudable cause and especially q
number OF the local secret societies.
The sorosis club gave an open enter
tainment, the proceeds OF which went
towards this good work. and even the
pupils of the public schools have
agreed to furnish funds. The ladies
OF the city are working hard and it
will be but a short time until money
enough Is raised to have the entire
square leveled up and sown with
grass and the walks fixed up until
they are more than mere paths. The
Ladies' Library association, to help
the good work. will give shirt waist
dance at the Duncan opera house
Monday evening. and on account of
the excellent purpose of the affair 1t
should be well patronized. Every
good citizen should contribute to
