Large Line Of Attractions
Early in the Spring.

All negotiations pending the air
ship proposition for a weeks show Ia
Gainesville have been declared of. and
the committee will, following the
holidays, prepare for big carnival
week
In a thorough canvass made by the
committee, comprising Dr.. johnson
and L. ]. Burkhim, they saw that a
little less than half OF the money
could be raised for the air ship show
Of the week, and found that II was
the general opinion Of the business
interests that a carnival show, backed
with a good band and a good list OF at.
fractions thoroughly advertised, would
do the city great deal more good for
less money.
Following the holidays another eff
fort will be made to raise sufficient
funds to put this line into execution,
and thoroughly advertise the matter
for one big week Of festivities.
What the business interests want is
line OF attractions that will be scat.
tered over the streets OF the city,
and they believe that sufficient funds
can be raised for the percentage re.
quired Of the carnival people 70 de.
fray all expenses, with some to spare.
For show Of this description less
than $40 from each of the business
men would raise ample funds to make
the proper advertising, and at the
same time II would prove OF benefit
to the people who are compelled to
guarantee the money and nearly all
OF this amount would be returned to
the business men.
There are now several OF the carnl-
val attractions scattered throughout
the state. and the wright-Turner

part Of January, another meeting will
be called for this purpose, when II is
sure that some action will BIO taken,

The PLEBEIANs.
Their Secession From Rome and Their
Rise to Power.

Their Secession From Rome and Their
Rise to Power.
Plebeians were the commons OF
Rome. who were originally forbidden
all political rights. They were for the
most part poor and were not allowed
to lntermarry with the patrlcians.
They served In the army without pay
and were sold into slavery for debt
and could even be cut into pieces for
distribution among their creditors
Finding their condition intolerable.
the plebeians In 4O7 B. 9. seeded to
Mons Sacer. near Rome. where they
resolved to build a new city. But this
step so alarmed the privileged classes
that they granted to the commons the
right Of annually choosing from their
own numbers two magistrates, called
tribunes. with power TO protect them
against the aggressious OF the patri-
clans.
After the lapse Of about 200 years
the disabilities OF the plebeians we're
almost entirely removed, and between
the years 356-3OO b. O. they secured
the dictatorship. the censorship and
the praetorshlp as well as the right to
be pontlfL and uugur. Thus the Ro-
man republic, after two centuries of
existence. finally secured a democratic
form OF government. = New York

Great winsIess Terror Picked Her Up Into the Air

had cast off her broken top hamper,
which in any event would have been
useless, and now, swept clean by the
wind, she seemed illumined for her
death. With the parting rub of her
armored sides against the Ito and the
Kashima she had babe last good-by
to her sister ships, and now seemed
the center Of tragedy of the night,
waiting for her execution. From the
deck Of every surrendered ship silent
and sorrowing men looked upon her
as If fascinated, and something of pity
crept into the eyes which watched her
from the ports OF that conquering
fleet Of the air. They, too, were sail
ors.
and the softened hearts of the con
querors gave to her last honor. The
port of Seventeen opened, rope lad.
der fell from its metal doorstep, and
down it passed gray-haired man, who
had once commanded and loved such a
cruiser AS was she. 1t was Brockton
The raptives on the decks of the captive
ships strained forward, wondering what
1t could mean. The blue-clad figure
walked the length of the Yakumo,
reached out a hand to short halyard,
and pulled down the flag of surrender.
He rolled it into a bundle and tossed
IL out into the wall Of darkness, and
from beneath his coat withdrew a bun.
die which he unfolded and affixed to
the loops. Suddenly as II bestowing 6
last honor upon the dying, he gave a
tug, and the flag of Japan was flung
to the breeze. The Yakumo should
not pass TO death unhonored, and was
destined TO be the only warrior to go
down with colors flying. A wild cheer
of short duration burst from the van
pushed as the officer remounted his
ladder and closed his port.

until the cruiser rubbed sides with the
two battleships. Here were no rolling
swells and turbulent waves to prevent
such a maneuver. In the quietude of
that aerial tryst. rufiled only by the
breeze of the night, the ponderous
masses of steel were brought into con-
tact as gently as if held by giant
hands. Grouped around them were
other dread machines. which suddenly
to facilitate the transfer, threw the
brilliant beams of score of search
lights upon the decks of the doomed
Yakumo, their rays Illuminating and
overlooking the upper works of the
Ito and the Kashima, between which
she was held motionlessly.
The great guns of the three war YES
sells stared open mouthed at each 9th
err. Their turrets doomed darkly, and
cut off the farther rays of light, and
in the white glare the faces of the
men standing upon the decks took on
CHASTITY hue. With muttered CONVEX
sation and alert obedience to orders
the men of the Yakumo stepped from
their own deck to those beside them,
dividing themselves into equal parts.
1t was hard to realize in that spot of
light, surrounded by the black shad-
ows Of the night, where all was still
and stationary, that they were three
miles above the surface of tossing
sea, and that to step out into the
gloom would be to step out of life. 1t
was ghostly interchange in world
of unreality. Reluctantly and sor
rowfully they took their places on the
battle ships and turned to bid farewell
to the beautiful cruiser which had
been their home for so many nights.
They were all clear now, and not a
living thing was left upon her.
Once more the dynamos of the radio
planes increased their speed. Slowly
they drew apart. the one clasping the
cruiser alone remaining motionless.
The searchlights, like steady eyes of
the night, still stared at the cruiser
whose every gun and every bolt wAs
brought out clear and distinct in the
radiance. During the day her crew

The blue figure with its tapping
coat tails swung back toward the
open port with an air of decision, and
the Japanese admiral knew that this
was no time for the practice Of decep-
ton and evasion. The man above was

no alternative. I'm not asking favors,
but simply giving you chance"
But"
That's all! My country doesn't
have to beg favors from all nations
combined. You have seen damned
good evidence of that. It's no favor
to me if you give your parole. You
can have 20 minutes"
The port above changed shut. and
Kamigawa, his cup of bitterness filled
to the brim, reluctantly signaled the
other members of the fleet, who
seemed less bent than he upon delay.
AS the darkness settled more closely
round them and joined the blanket of
shadows below, there foated from
every captive ship the plain white flag
betokening complete surrender. The
sun banner-the emblem OF Japan
had disappeared from the seas. She
was no longer a naval power, and her
brief encroachment, advancement, aud
season of turbulence was at an end.
As the last cloth of white Huttered
out, the port above the Ito ags;n
opened, and a voice called down:
Thank you" and then continued;
I'm sorry for you, Kamigawa, but IL
cant be helped. It's the fortune OF
war. Now we are going to bring your
cruiser Yakumo alongside you and the
Kashima, and we want you to have all
those aboard transfer at once. We
can't carry her any more"
He did not explain to the enemy

been struck by shell, feared that the
heavy burden of transporting the va
kumo would prove too much for q
higher rate of speed
