INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

The musical at "Cubano" on We'd
nesday evening was quite brilliant af-
fair, and the financial results were very
gratifying. The spacious rooms and
verandas were laviShly decorated with
appearance. The musical selections
rendered by MesdameS Savage and Ben
son and Miss Wylie were thoroughly en-
joyed, and Mrs. Chas. Benson recited
several dialect sketches which delighted
her audience. Mr.. Francis generously
gave the uSS of his Edison phonograph
for the evening, and through that medi
um some of the greatest operatic stars
were heard in their choicest roles. At
the close of the formal program, cake
and fruit punch were served and num-
Der of charming Photographic selections
were given-the evening closed with
fetching little coon song by Mrs. Ben
son.
The ladies of the NJ E. church had
an oyster supper and social in the Town
Hall on Friday evening.
Lewis Patric, one of our best beloved
pioneer winter residents passed away on
Friday, March 18th, at his lakeside
home, Jasmine Heights" after a long
and gallant battle for life. Mr.. Patric
first came here from Springfield, Ohio,
about twenty years ago, and built the
home on Mariners Lake which he has
occupied every winter since. Last fall,
as usual, he came south, accompanied
by Mrs. Patric, but was then in very
feeble health, the result of severe at
tack of grippe. Until within the past
three weeks hopes were entertained for
his recovery, but over-exertion brought
relapse and gradual leSSening of
strength until the end came. Sunday
afternoon Rev. Townsend held brief
but impressive service at the home, and
on Tuesday the Sorrowful homeward
journey began, Mrs. Patric with her COM
panion, Mrs Mitch, accompanying the
body TO Ohio where interment will be
made.

PALATKA TO have
new RAILROAD
Henry M. Flagler Signs Contract
for Road from Palatka to
Point $50 Miles South.

A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
of last Friday, from New York, says:
cat 81 years of age Henry NJ. Flagler
has, within two or three days, signed
contract for the construction OF an exten-
ton of his railway system from Palatka
Fla, to point about $50 miles south
Mr.. Flagler wrote his signature mechan
.ically, trusting solely TO fingers and
thumb which have for 60 years subscrib-
ed his name TO business documents, some
of which involved millions. His eyesight
is greatly impaired. The curtain, which
has now for some years been obScuring
his vision, has almost completely fallen
over his eyes. He can still distinguish
objects family, as though they were in
a fog, but he is compelled TO identify
friends by their voices, and he relies in
business transactions upon his still acute
hearing.
'Olherwise, Mr.. Flagler is of vigorous
health, both mental and physical. He
has been especially occupied this winter
with the perfecting of the Florida East
Coast Railway system and began 10 speak
in his conservative and yet enthusiastic
manner of the important new Panama
Canal factor which has been added to
this unique railway system.
"The extention from Palatka, on the
St. Johns River southerly, is made ne
ceSsary not only by the unexpected in
crease in business which his railway sys-
tenn has received in the two years, but
also because Mr. Flagler now forsees a
very great growth of interior Florida.
His proposed extension will, if the plans
are not changed, reach well into the in
terror of Southern Florida, giving his
railways their fair share of the great bus
iness which is expected to be developed
in Florida in the next five or six years"

Men Escape From Paxton's Convict
Camp in Volusia County.

Camp in Volusia County.
Two white convicts detained at one
of the turpentine camps of d. B. Paxton
in VoIuSia county escaped last Sunday,
taking with them one of MIR. Paxton S
horses and mule.
The horse and mule were found at
East Palatka Monday morning, and TO
the saddle of each was pinned note
reading as follows: "ThiS animal is the
property of D. B. Paxton of DeLand,
Fla, Please notify owner at once"
When the horse and mule were dis
covered on Monday Sheriff Kenncrly
was notified. The sheriff had already
had wire from Mr.. Paxton notifying
him to be on the lookout for conyictS
Smith and Burk, and he Immediately
telegraphed Mr.. Paxton that the horse
and mule were here.
The men probably took an early train
Monday morning.
Mr.. Paxton with one of his guards
and "truSty" came to Palatka on the
afternoon train and recovered the
horses. There is no clue to the where
abouts of the convicts.
D. B. Paxton is one of the most
prominent and best known of the big
naval stores operators in Florida. He
has four turpentine camps in Nolusia
county, three of which he operates
with white convictS.
And it is fortunate for Florida that
such Just and humane man has charge
of its white convictS.

cred every scene enabling one to clearly
understand each part and adding greatly
to the enjoyment of the entire enter
tainment.
"The pictures begin with the Annun,
citation of the Virgin Mary, and IRON this
on nearly every prominent incident IN
the life of Christ is projected upon the
screen in beautiful colors, and when de-
scribed in detail by Mr.. Clark with nu,
merouS and apt quotations in poetry and
prose they are fastened most vividly
upon the mind and vision of the auditor. "

lah, Queen of Judea, with 1000 feet OF
film will be exhibited. On other nights

COL. L0ChW WlTzKY
To SPEAK here
Russian Political Exile on Whose
Head Hangs a Price,
Has Been Engaged by Woman's Club to
Speak in Palatka.

Count Alexander M. Lochwitzky, a
former lieutenant-colone in the Imper-
ial cavalry of Russia and former chief
of the Russian war bureau, has been en-
gagged by the Palatka Woman'S club TO
deliver lecture in Palatka on Monday
night, April Sd, at the court house.
This Russian count must be of some
ac count, for since his official place in
the war department of his native land he
has had the additional honor of being
sent as political prisoner to Siberia
from which cold and uninviting country
he escaped and came 10 America.
Count Lochwitzky is something OF a
man without his tile of nobility. He is
an LII. D., a degree we only give in
this country to ex.preSidents and other
men whose heads are stuffed with cru
dition. The degree was conferred on
Count Lochwitzky by one OF the oldest
universities in Russia.
He was arrested and thrown into priS-
on for establishing free school for the
peasant children on his estate.
He was confined for 10 months in a
dungeon of the fortress OF SITS. Peter and
Paul in St. Petersburg, where he was
subjected to all manner of torture. He
was finally sent 10 Siberia. -,
Count Lochwitzky can 'tale unfold
whose lightest word will harrow up
your soul, freeze your young blood,
make your knotted and combined locks
TO part and each particular hair 10 stand
on end like the quilts of a fretful porcu-
pine" And he's going to tell this story
in Palatka.
Ii will be worth hearing and the Wo-
mans Club is 70 be commended for IFS
enterprise in giving you the chance.
DR.. David Starr Jordan, president ol
Leland Stanford University, says: The
story is thrilling and admirably told-the
people were almost stunned by its reve-
latiOns
