CANNOT RIDE IF
THEY SMOKE
SMALL RIOT ATTENDS TABOO OF
TOBACCO ON RAILROAD
IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Nov. FALLING to abol-
ish smoking on the Chicago & Oak
Park Elevated Railroad by polite per-
suasion, more vigorous methods were
put in practice today by the company,
and with success. Men who insisted
on smoking as usual received repay
ment of their fares, with reuest
that they leave the train. If still OBJ
durate, private detectives on each
train elected the offenders. In the
majority of cases, cigars were aban-
doned upon the appearance of the de-
tectives. The matter probably will go
to the courts.
A small riot occurred over the ejec-
ton of an elderly, well-dressed man,
who told the conductor that in smok-
ing on the car he was violating no
city ordinance. The other passengers
interfered when two detectives were
called to put the smoker out. Three
passengers were hurt in the rush
which followed, and Alderman Joseph
H. Francis fell from the car platform
to the tracks. escaping death on the
rail by only few inches. The rail-
road company won the fight by de-
taching the "smokeless smoker" from
the remainder OF the train.

DOMINION WILL
HAVE A NAVY
CRUISERS AND TORPEDO BOATS
TOBE ASKED OF PARLIAMENT
AT COMING SESSION.

OTTAWA, Nov. S.-The extent of
Canada's first step toward the creation
of a naval force is indicated by bill
which the Government will present to
Parliament early in the session. The
construction of three .second-class
cruisers and four torpedo boat Destroy
ers is called for by the bill. The Or
ders for these vessels will probably
be placed in Gerat Britain, as there
is no yard in Canada capable of turn
ing out the ships. The bill will pro-
vide also for Canadian training estab-
lishments for both officers and men.
The annual cost of maintenance OF
the seven vessels and the expenses OF
the naval schools are estimated at
$3,OOO,OOO.

PRETTY SHOP GIRL
IS ASSAULTED AND
MURDERED BY FIEND
MISS ANNIE PELLEY is THE VIC
TIM OF AWFUL CRIME At
CAIRO.
EVIDENCE OF A STRUGGLE
pisfieured Body is Found in an Alley
Fragments of Her Torn Clothing
Showing She Had Fought Assail'
ants For Blocks.

CAIRO H., Nov. 9.-Evidences that
Miss Annie Pelley. a Cairo shop girl
engaged in a terrific struggle before
succumbing to assailants last night
was discovered today when the au-
thoritles were confronted with the
task of solving the mystery of her
murder Bits of torn clothing strewed
in the alleyway in which children
found her disfgured body, revealed
that she fought against her murderers
for two blocks.
Miss Pelley was a country girl OF
rather unusual strength, and the au-
thorities are inclined to believe that
more than one person was involved
in the attack upon her.
Bloodhounds were brought here
from Harrisburg, H., and put on the
trail, but they lost the scent two
blocks and a half from the scene OF
the crime. 1t is thought that the muir
derers boarded a car at this point.
Every police officer in the city is a
work on the case, which has caused a
tremendous sensation. Mayor Par
sons has offered reward of 5000 for
the arrest of the murderers.
The victim of the crime was "a
years old. She came here a Few
months ago from Anna, ILL.,, and has
been living with married sister.
Four negroes, woman nameu
Green and three men, Will James, Ar
thur Alexander and Will Thomas, were
arrested tonight and are being held
in iail as a result of bloodhounds fol
lowing a trail to Mrs. Green's home
The first two dogs on the scent follow
ed the trail to the negro house at the
rear of 2515 Poplar street. On sec
ond trial they ended at the same place
Three bloodhounds brought over from
Wickliffe, KY, were put on the scent
later and wound up at the Green cot
tage, and for six successive trials the
dogs went to the same place.
Two more bloodhounds arrived here
tonight and will be put on the scent
Mayor George Parsons, who offered
reward of 5000 early in the day, In
creased it to $1,000 later, and large
fund is being subscribed by the clti
zens in addition.
Evidence indicates Miss Policy was
attacked in front of her home anc
dragged nearly block and half tt
the alley.

tions of the County And increased
The public Confidence.
THAT is mighty good to look at, but
one would he surprised to know how
little of it is actually used in business
transactions" remarked Vice Presi-
dent Brownlow in his handsome offices
at the Maury National Bank this morn
ing as he stood lingering enormous
nackages of greenbacks. There were
National Bank notes, silver certi.
Gates. gold certificates and the old
time greenbacks that saved the I'm
ion
.No one who is not in the banking
business" continued Mr. Brownlaw,
would be surprised to know what
comparatively small per cent of cash
transactions are really made with
cash The check, the draft and the
exchange are more generally In use
now than ever before and people are
becoming wise every day to the adj
vantages of paying their bills with
checks instead of in cash. The check
! is in itself receipt, it is much more
convenient to carry, less liable to loss
and in every way more satisfactory
than the cash.
Eyes. | think that the panic OF 1907
opened the eyes of many people to the
advantages of paying their bills with
checks. During that period you will
recall there was little or no actual
money to be had People were forced
TO do business with checks. They
got the habit, they saw the many adj
vaatnges of the system and they have
adhered to it.
"But there is another and stronger
reason why checks are in such gen
eral use, which also grew out OF the
panic. People, who before that time
had been slow to deposit their funds
in bank, preferring the old STOCKING
or the safe deposit vault, witnessed
the solidarity of the financial institu-
lions of the country during that time
! Of storm and stress and trial and they
emerged fro mthe panic with a conn.,
dence in the banks which they had
never had. The result has been that
neople are now using the banks for
the transaction of their business who,
before the panic, lacked sufficient con-
fdence in them to appreciate their adj
vantages.
THE panic was not altogether an
unmitigated evil. It had its compen-
sation. People today have greater
faith in their banking institutions
than they ever had. The long preva-
lent idea that any bank, no matter
how strong its resources or how able
! and honest its management, could be
forced to the wall as the result of
run caused by some foolish or idle
rumor has been exploded. Banks which
went through the panic unscathed
demonstrated to the people the strength
of our financial system. In short the
panic gave the people knowledge In
| financial affairs that experience alone
could give. Confidence is the founda-
ton of our entire business and finan-
cial system. That is what the people
have now but which was lacking In
many localities before the depression
two years ago demonstrated the real
power for good of our banks"

Mr.. and Mrs. L. f. Hotchlliss and
Mr.. J. P. Hotchkiss we're registered at
the Ocala House Tuesday. This is an
old Florida name and its mention
brings up the memories of the long
ago. Some years before the civil war
three or four young men went from
Tallahassee to the great metropolis,
and began a mercantile business I'M
der the firm name of SmallwoOd,
Hotchkiss, Scott & Co., and thrived
admirably until the breaking out of
hostilities, but as their trade was
mostly from this section the war was
solar plexus blow to their business.
Mr.. Thos. H Hotchkiss, one of the
members of the firm, made annual
visits to Ocala for many years after
the war. Franklin Dibble & Co., was
another Florida firm that established
themselves in New York and prosper
ed. Merchants now do so well at
home that they do not find it neces-
sary to embark in business in the big
metropolis.

THE THoMPsoN-JEFFoRDs WE'D
DING AT CLEARWATER

Don Monday evening, the 18th of
October, the Church of the Ascension
at Clearwater, Fla, was the scene OF
beautiful wedding, when Miss
Charles Edmund Jeffords, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edmund Jeffords, was
united in marriage to Mr.. Charles
Jefferson Thompson.
The church had been beautifully
decorated by friends of the bride, and
made charming setting for the bri-
dial party. Southern bamboo was used
as a background for a profusion of
pink and white oleanders. The chan
eel, carpeted in white, was banked
with handsome pot ferns and palms,
and the chancel rail and altar gleam-
ed with dozens of tiny candles. A
huge wedding bell of white oleanders
hung above the chancel steps.
At seven o'clock, as the Rev. Chas
NJ. Gray of St. Petersburg took his
place within the chancel, the bridal
chorus from Lohengrin, played by
Miss Rose McMullen, was heard. First
up the aisle came the brides only sis
ter, Mrs. Alonzo Benjamin McMullen,
the dame of honor, wearing her own
wedding gown of chiffon in tunic fash
ion over al underdress of white sat
in. She carried an arm bouquet Of
pink carnations. tied with pink tulle

fashioned on princess lines, with
crushed girdle and bib bodice. Heavy
cream lace, studded with pearls form

mented with a handsome gaTniture
and tassels of pearls. Her veil of
tulle, fastened with a Grecian fillet of
ribbon, was caught to her hair with
valley lilies, and she carried a show
er bouquet of brides roses and valley
lilies.
At the conclusion of the beautiful
Episcopal ring ceremony the party
left the church to the strains of Men
delssohn's Wedding March.
The gentlemen acting as ushers
were Mr.. John R. Jeffords, Mr.. John
R. Davey and Mr.. John J. Mendenhall.
The brides mother, Mrs. Edmund
Jeffords, wore a handsome tunic gown
of gray chiffon taffeta, deliberately
trimmed with heavy gray embroidery.
The brides going-away gown was a
handsome suit of Gobelin blue crepe
serge with long, low-buttoned coat
and deep-yoked skirt. She wore a
braided waist of satin rajah in the
same shade to complete the suit. with
a hat of MORE and gloves at match.
