SON OF Mr.. AND MRS.
FITCH DIES IN CHICAGO

A telegram was received in Ocala
Thursday announcing the death Of lit
tie Edward Francis Fitch. Jr., at the
home Of his parents in Chicago, at an
early hour yesterday morning. The
little one was seven months old, and
for the past few weeks had been very
III, and his death was not unexpected.
although it was hoped TO the last that
something could be done to save the
little life. Mrs. Fitch, before her mar
riage, was Miss Sally Camp Of this
city, and the news of the death of her
baby is learned here with much re-
greet. Her mother. Mrs. w. \. Camp
was sent for several weeks ago, and
was with her daughter when the little
baby passed away.
Flowers fade and fall, and we miss
their fragrance and beauty, and we
realize that much of lfes cheer is
gone, but the memory remains, as in
the case of this little flower that has
been plucked for another garden. For
seven short months the young parents
had the joy and pleasure of their lit
tie sons presence, and viii always
have with them the beautiful memory
of the brief happiness that was theirs.
The little body will be buried in Chi
cagO.

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS

When this paper wrote of the rare
and beautiful flowers of Tallahassee
being unsurpassed anywhere, It had
not been told of Mrs. S. T. Sistrunk' S
lovely flower garden at Arden. There
are none rarer anywhere. for we have
the proof in the flowers themselves.
The bouquet would fill bushel meas
ure and the chemical affinities of ma
ture never produced a prettier picture.

No Startling Navy Changes.

NJ. DelcaSSe has not made any startling
alteration in the Lapeyrers navy law.
Under that scheme sixteen battleships
We're to be laid down-two in each year,
| from 1910 to 1916 inclusive. and one in
| 1917 and in 1919.
| The first two-the Corbet and Jean Bart
are already well advanced and will be
launched during the autumn, while Or
ders have been placed for the 1911 ships,
| which have received the names of France
and Paris.
Up to and including 1914 NJ. Delcasse
proposes to adhere to the policy of his
predecessor. but in 1915 it is proposed to
| lay dewn four ships. two on January 1
and two on September ]. To counterbal
ance this there will be no armored yes
sells laid down in 1916, and the last two
of the sixteen will be commenced on jan
uary l, 1917. thus saving more than two
years on the original scheme.
1t remains to be seen whether the
project will be adopted, but the program
certainly appears to be the minimum on
which France will be able to hold her
place-already the fifth-among the naval
powers. Meanwhile. the new scheme of
distribution is to come into force this
month, although it Will be some time be-
fore all the units necessary to it's COM
plete achievement are ready for the pen
nant. Under the new arrangement the
whole of the fully commissioned ships
will be in the Mediterranean. the first
squadron consisting of the six Dentons,
and the second Of the four Liberties and
the two PatrieS. There will, however, be
a strong reserve fleet in the channel
manned by sufficient men to keep the
ships in thorough order and ready for
sea.
phis move has undoubtedly been die
tated by the progress of Italy and Aus
tria, both of whom will have a dread
nOuClt at sea before France.

anxious to avoid open hostilities, in which
event she would have to rely on soldiers
half starved and clamorng for pay, Is
evident, not only from the fact that she
has once more extended the offer OF am
nesty to the Albanians, but also from the
much more significant fact that she con
sented to cede her arch enemy Montene-
gro, the enclave between Velika ant
Mount Visitor. which for years has beer
the scene of constant conflicts arising
out of rights of pasture, and also the
Lake of PLAYA, as compensation FOL
the expenses incurred by Montenegro in
providing food and shelter for thousands
of Albanian refugees. Montenegro. how
ever, is not satisfied with these conces-
sions
That Turkeys military resources are
strained to the utmost by the long cam
paigns in Yemen and Albania, and that
it is exceedingly hard for the govern
ment to get soldiers. is shown by the re-
mobilzing all Mohammedans and Chris
tians below the age Of forty-fve years.
A German officer who is watching
events in Albania. writes from Podgo-
nous signs Of mutiny everywhere among
the Turkish troops. They demand to be
sent home, the heat Is unbearable, and
they are being harassed night and day
by the guerrilla methods Of the insurgents
Trying to Buy influence.
Tho Turkish offers Of amnesty. he
writes. having proved an utter failure.
the authorities have resorted to new
tactics. and are offering large sums Of
money to private individuals IN order to
buy them and their influence.
In the meantime Montenegro's special
ambassador to Russia, Gen. Mnschkovich,
is said to have impressed the cars gov
eminent with the gravity of the present
situation. Interviewed by the st. Peters
burg correspondent of Paris paper a
few days ago, he pointed out that, with the
reinforcements expected from the vilayet
of Kossovo, the Turkish army operating
on the Montenegrin frontier will reach a
total of 100000 men. In spite of the as
surance of Turkey. Montenegro cannot
feel that 1t Is safe from a "demonstra-
ton" by Turgut Pasha If the fancy takes
him. In addition to feeding the Albanians,
Montenegro has had to bear exceptional
military charges for some months.
This state Of things cannot last. His
majesty has sent me here to say so, and
to call attention to the gravity of the
events. Even If the Turks suppress the
present revolt it will soon start a afresh,
says the ambassador
The envoy added that the whole of Eu-
rope ought to bring every peaceful means
to bear upon the porte to induce 1t to
give Albania the administration and
special favors necessary to pacify It,
