..THE HAND OF MAN"

The Hand of Man was presented at
the Temple Theater last night to an
unusually good audience, considering
the inclemency of the weather. quite
number of patrons coming in their au-
tomobiles and private vehicles
The scenes of the play are laid in
New York City. The principal actors
were the young man clerking in
bank the president of the same, the
clerks wife and Bette" a genuine
and typical "slum" girl, who was as
full of the vernacu1ar of that section as
an egg is of meat and knew SO well
how to vocalze it that it just touched
the laughing risibiles of her hearers.
In a word, the bank clerk was a
model, his president a born rascal and
because at one time he sought to win
the heart and hand of the clerks at
tractive wife and failed, with dark
scheming and villainy he swore the
downfall of his rival and in this so
doctored the books of the bank to
make a shortage, which necessitated
the clerk and his wife to mortgage
their lovely home to the president,
from which they were elected and the
clerk was made to fee to Cripple Creek
to keep out of the hands of the law,
while the deep-dyed villain of the play
the president of the bank, attempts to
induce the wife to abandon her hus-
band and conSort with him, which, OF
course, this virtuous and true wife
spurns with scOrn that fairly thrills
i the nobler instincts of the audience.
! Bette. the slum girl, was instrument
| tai in saving the life of the child of the
bank clerk and in gratitude for this
heroic act, is taken into their home anC
was present at the transfer of the
mortgage papers, which she steals anC
substitutes others, which through the
detective work of Bette and her lover
Tommy, worked an important part IL
clearing up the tragedy and restoring
the home to the clerk and wife ant
meeting out suitable punishment to thu
villain president.
Betties penchant for shooting crap
| was one of the amusing incidents o
the play The vaudeville part of tn
entertainment was most acceptable am
entertaining. The singing and dancing
of petite Miss Cecile Lengen and he
equally charming and pleasing sister
Miss Marie Lengeil, were greatly en-
joyed and by their clever acting mad
new friends. The Park company is
deserving and talented one and de
serves the patronage of the public.

Issue Sidetracked and WaterwOrks

Ocala, Fla. January 8. 1911.
To the President and Members of the
City Council City of Ocala: Gentle
men-In obedience 10 the usual custom.
address this. my annual communica-
ton. TO you, in order that we may by
harmonious and concerted action reap
great benefit to the city. which We all
in our various capacities represent.
Two questions of more than ordinary
Importance, tO-wit: water supply
and "a sewer system have for some
time past engaged your attention.
In my estimation the question of
sewer sysem has been brought prom
inently before you for the sole purpose
of distracting your attention from the
more important question of a water
supply.
! 1t appears to me that Ocala has been
and is now blessed with a sewer sys-
| tenn far superior to any other in the
state. and certainly superior to any
| other that can be Installed. The sew
age wells already put down. and which
have been in operation for many years.

sible contamination and without any
evil results.

all the houses on that particular block

and at less expense TO the property
owner than he would be put TO in con-
nection with a public sewer. and in
contributing his pro rata of the eX-
pense of disposing of the sewage after
it had been conveyed out of the city
Any other system will necessitate
at great expense. the handling. con-
veying and disposition of sewage. and
with the other method at our hand. tO
disregard it would be a reputation OF
our natural advantages.
] again urge upon you the necessity
of taking steps to install a water Sys.
tenn in the city whereby the citizens
may have pure water, suitable for al
purposes. and at reasonable rates. This
can be done by the city installing {
new system
The present contract expires in tht
year 1912 and unless we make prepar.
alton at once and install a new sys'
tenn we will be at the mercy of the
Ocala Water Company. and perhap:
forced into the execution of another
contract with that company.
| Under the present contract. we are
not only getting an inferior water a

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT

Major Willis. colored, who was ar
raigned for assault with attempt to
kill. had his case minimized TO assault
and occupied the attention of the court
all the forenoon and the jury was out
his case when the noon
bell struck Attorney G. L. Sistrunk
represented the defense and Attorney
r g. Bullock assisted the states at
torney.
The slot machine cases came 10 an
abrupt close yesterday. Our readers
will remember the late grand jury in
dicted the saloon men for operating
slot machines They did SO under the
impression that because they paid Ii
cense for the privilege they were ex-
empt from the law. Their licenses ex-
pired October 31st. but the county tax
collector refused to renew same, as IL
was against the law. When the grand
jury indicted them they consulted an
attorney, who said it was contrary 10
law so they immeditely closed the slot
machines. The Judge yesterday in con-
sidering their cases and in evidence OF
a wrong impression in their minds
about their authority 10 run the slot
machines, having paid the license and
all pleading guilty. the court fined
each violator SIS and costs, which end
ed all proceedings.
John Green, colored. who in the fall
entered a room at the Montezuma no.
tel occupied by Mr.. E. c. Mcleod, was
tried yesterday for stealing and wa:
found guilty.
John Barnes, colored, for selling liz.

Sol Owens, colored. accused of as
