LETTERS OFTEN INDIscREET
Of the Way They May Wreck
Career.

Letter writing has long been cOnsii
cred an art. but there are often times
when the writer's OF certain epistles
wish that they had been a little more
discreet before posting the same. A
great many lives have been ruined and
careers wrecked all because of one in
discreet letter. which 1t would have
been better not 10 write.
notable case Of this kind is the
letter which Lord Palmerston, In 1851
when he was minister of foreign NJ
fairs for Great Britain. wrote to H.
prlnce-prGsidcnt OF France, Louis M
poleon. Ii was when Louis executed
his famous coup d'etat. Regiments o.
Infantry. probably at his direction
swept the bouIevards with rifle balls.
The streets OF Paris ran with blood
and out OF the crimson mist rose Louis
Napoleon, no. longer prince-prcsiGont.
but rather president for life. and soon
aftcrward emperor Of France.
All Europe was Mortified ut this
bloody leap to power. and no one more
so than the queen of England. Lord
Palmerston. however. admired the new
emperor. without consulting his Off.
cial chief and much less the queen.
Palmerston wrote n letter to the Brit,
ish ambassador In Paris expressing
HIS approval Of the coup d'etat When
the queen heard OF this unauthorized
action she was deeply Indignant. She
sent for the prime minister and he
soon afterward officially notified Lord
Palmerston OF his dismissal in the fol.
| lowing words:
mo other course Is open to me than
to ask her majesty to appoint a sue.
cessor to you in the foreign Office"
All this on account OF a letter. Lord
Palmerston was one Of the foremost
men In tho kingdom. But this one act
OF indiscretlon wGa tho end OF his
famous career.

Deafnes. Caunot be Cured

by local applications as they canot
reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only ;one way to cure
deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an lnflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result unless the inf1mation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrah,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the "ucous surfaces.

Alaska pretty nealy lost control of

when the Houre was in an uproar
and members were taking off their

when even the vast voice of Champ
Clark was drowned in the confusion
and the pounding Of the chairman's
Ravel was Of no more effect than
the patter Of q cats foot; then

THE WILLARD MEMORIAL

There were several vacant pewS last
night at the Methodist church, but
when one comes to remember the num-
Der and variety of other attractions in
the city there was quite large an
audience last night as might have been
expected and whatever other attraC-
tiOns may have been on hand there
were none that were more intereStin z
or more instructive than that held in
the Methodist church to commemorate
the life work and virtues of Miss
Frances Willard. the patron saint of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
The exercises commenced with a
beautiful voluntary on the organ most
skillfully played by Miss Mary Erwin.
Then followed the celebrated glory
song. by the whole strength Of the au-
dience. Mrs. f. +. Packham. presi-
dent of the Ocala Union. then read the
22nd chapter of Revelations and the
Rev. j. 3. Ley in one of the most beau
tiful and SOULFUL prayers invoked the
divine blessing on the meeting.

Mr.. Joseph Bumby, who has been a
member of the Ocala G. A r. post since
it's formation and its adjutant for near
ly as long, has returned from the state
meeting of the Grand Army at Kissim
NEE, which was one of the most sue
cessful ever held in Florida, and for
that matter in almost any state in the
Union. He said the reception tender
ed the old veterans by the people Of
Kissimmee was the most cordial he had
ever met with. Truly, DR.. Murphy, an
old veteran himself and mayor of the
town, turned over the place to the old
boys, their wives and daughters. He
said the address of welcome of State
Senator Carson was one of the gems
Of it's kind 1t was magnificent in it's
eloquence and warmth of hospitality
and the address of Rev J. O. Thompson,
of st. Petersburg, was a splendid tri
butte to the grizzled veterans Mr.
Bumby said he never heard their equal
and the effect these addresses had on
the members of the G. \. r. Mr.. F. G.
Tarbox was chairman of the commit
tee of arrangements and left nothing
undone for the comfort and entertain
ment of the crowd. The procession
was a notable one, headed by 30 ladies
on horseback, followed by some 500
school children. each carrying a small
American flag. There was a camp fire
in kissimmee the night of the 18th and
an immense crowd was present and a
bountiful spread was rendered them by
the people of Kissimmee. which not
only included the veterans and their
families. but every stranger in the
place. 1t was a great love feast. The
following night the post at St. Cloud,
the new colony eight miles from Kis-
simmee, entertained the veterans with
another camp fire and it was estimat-
ed that fully 1000 persons were pres
ent to enjoy it. The next annual meet
ing of the state encampment will be
held at Zepher Hill, a new colony, es-
tablished between Plant City and Dade
City on the S. ~. L. Railroad. The in
vitation was extended by Mr. Jeffries,
formerly of the Washington Tribune,
but now at the head of the Zepher Hill
colony. Among the stinguished per
sons present and who made an admira-
BILE address was Mrs. Bell Harris of
Kansas, president of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps. Mrs Kramer of Ocala, past
president of the National Daughters of
Veterans, was present and was to have
addressed the convention, but arrived
too late. Mr. Bumby said he never
expected to again witness such a G.
a. r. demonstration in Florida. The
Kissimmee Valley Gazette will get out
a souvenir edition Feb. 22nd and it will
contain the regiment, company and
home of every veteran present. In a
word. the fame of Kissimmee and ST
Cloud by the hospitality dispensed to
the G. A. r. veterans and their friends
will spread all over the Union.

Mr.. E. c. Mcleod never tires these
days in telling what the state of Flor
ida should do in the way of building
good roads. No clay. gravel or lime
rock roads. These are no good; but
vitrfied brick to cost the state mill
ions. He says these dry days an auto
over the ekndrick road. going as they
do-at the rate of 40 miles an hour
raises enough dust TO carry off Of the
roadbed at least % ordinary loads of
dirt in the distance they travel. Now
against such waste no road material is
worth a cent but vitrfied brick, and if
you will give the thought careful con-
sideration, you must admit there is a
little madness in Macs optimistic ideas.
