death of General Jewell which occurr-
ed at his home in Orlando Tuesday

The general was on the streets
greeting his friends as usual but re-
turned to his home at noon and COM

physician could reach him.

of Orlando for more than quarter of
a century. He was mayor of the city
two terms, and was a prominent ma
son, having been at the time of his
death past grand commander of the
Knights Templars and past grand
high priest of the chapter. He was
prominent in the Confederate veter-
ans and served as commander in
chief of the department of Florida.
Some few months ago he wrote a
series of brilliant articles for the
Times-Union on "The Battles of the
Confederacy."
His funeral will occur today under
comand of masons and camp of Con-
federate veterans. He was native
OF Massachusetts, but enlisted in the
Confederate army while a resident of

Savannah, Ca, Jan. Miss Ellen
NJ. Stone, who, ten years ago, while a
missionary in Bulgaria, was for six
months a prisoner in the hands of bri-
gands, who held her and her compan-
ion, Mrs. Katerina Stephenova Tsilka,
for ransom, is arranging to return to
Turkey in the capacity of mission
airy. Miss Stone is now in Savannah,
the guest of Miss Ellen McAlpine. She
is much interested in Turkey since
the Young Turk party gained the as
cendancy. She believes that the dan
ger from brigandage is now past. She
is also very hopeful for the future OF
Christian missions in Turkey.
Miss Stone was recently in Ocala,
and delivered most excellent lecture
while here.

VIEWS OF EUROPE IN THE FORT

In 1874 Mr.. Bayard Taylor, then a
printer at the case, started on tour
of Europe with $40 in his pockets.
He really spent more than that
amount. He spent the princely sum
of $500. He was gone two years.
In his Views A-Foot he says: THE
cheapest city, and one of the pleasant
est in the world, is Florence, where
We breakfasted on five cents, dined
sumptuously on twelve and went to
the opera on ten"
In one of his letters he said that he
travelled comfortably in Southern Eu-
rope on twenty-five cents per day. In
the same letter he says: Wine is
the universal beverage of the laboring
classes of Italy, or l might say of all
classes; it is, however, the pure blood
of the grape and although used in
such quantities, one sees little drunk
enness-far less than in our own
land"
Speaking of the people of sunny It
ally he says:
In love with the delightful climate,
they cherish their country, fallen as
she is, and are rarely induced to leave
her. Even the weather. classes of
the Italians travel very little; they
can learn the manners and habits of
| foreigners as we'll in their own count
ry as elsewhere, and they prefer their
own hills of olive and vine to the icy
grandeur of the Alps or the rich gard
en-like beauty of England
But although this sweet climate,
with it's wealth of sunlight and balmy
airs, may enchant the traveller for
awhile and make him wish at times
that his whole life might be spent
amid such scenes, it exercises most
enervating influence on those who are
born to it's enjoyment. 1t relaxes
mental and physical energy and dis
poses body and mind to dreamy in
activity. The Italians, as race, are
indolent and effeminate. Of the NOR
al dignity of man they have little con-
ception. Those classes who are en-
gagged in active occupation seem des-
titute of common honesty, practicing
all kinds of deceits in the most open
manner and apparently without the
least shame. The state of morals is
lower than in any other country in
Europe; what little virtue exists is
found among the peasants. Many of
the most sacred obligations of society
are universally violated and as a
natural consequence the people are
strangers to that domestic happiness
which constitutes the true enjoyment
of life.
He says parenthetically:
There is beauty in Italy, undoubt-
eddy, but it is either among the peas
ants or the higher class of nobility
will tell our American women con-
fidentially, for / know that they have
too much sense to be vain of it, that
they far surpass the rest of the world
as much in beauty as they do in in
Itelligence and virtue"

How Beer Promotes sobriety.

The court records of lower Bavar-
ia for the year 1910 showed an in
crease during the year in the num-
Der of fatal assaults. According to
press correspondence of the Ger
man Alkoholgegnerbund, stabblng
was the most frquent method OF as
sault, amounting to is cases out OF
20. Most of the criminal deeds were
committed at night, between II and
2 o'clock, and II out of 20 occurred
|either in the saloons, before them,
or on the way home from them
Only one took place in the work
shop, one in the home and one in
THE woods.
In f8 eases a large amount OF beer
had been consumed before the deco
was committed, or the criminal was
"a habitual heavy drinker. Thirteer
Lives were lost on Sunday, the Other
seven on workdays.

cause of these evils and point tn
lway TO their correction.--From tn

Concubinage Cases-Public Opinion
at Fault

From the True-Democrat publish
ed in st. Franceville, La: The col
lapse OF the prosecution of The con
cubinage cases in the district court,
last week illustrates the Old saying:
You can lead a horse to water, but
you can't make him drink. On pre-
sumably sufficient evidence for an
information, certain men were in
dicted at last term Of court for a
violation of the concubinage law.
Their cases We're continued to this
term of court. Numerous witnesses
ere stltnnon,d. Une ease was pl,
on for trial, but failed so lamentably
for the want of evidence that the
other cases were thrown out.
Thus il is seen that no matter
how Conscientious the efforts OF The
judge and district attorney may be,
that they can not go farther than
the peolpe will let them. And in
their attitude towards the eoncuDliI-
|age law il is evident that the peo-
pie who approve OF its being ex-
lecuted without fear or faNar, ar
either in a hopeless minority, or that
the great body of them lack the
courage of their convictions. Un.
flattering as is the latter presump-
tion as to the peolpes moral couf-
age, it is preferable TO believe That
majority approves of sexual re-
iations between the races.
Moreover the present law is 90
lingeniously contriyed as to merely
iplay about the edges of this great
cancerous growth; it is devilishlS
designed to leave untouched tht

Food for Thought

The Advocate Catholic Temper
ance Union of America: A business
man passed through lroquois coun-
ty last week looking for location
for a glove factory. His proposition
was a novel one-he was looking for
a saloon town. His firm did not
want to locate in a large city but
would take no small city for a To-
cation unless there was positive as
surance that the saloons would be
permitted to operate permanently.
This is the secret of his strange in
terest in saloons. The glove factory
employs a large number of girls anu
women. He said that women and
girls in saloon towns would work,
while in dry territory it was impos-
sible to get them to undertake such
employment, for their husbands,
brothers and fathers were more
likely to provide them with a good
home.

TIE SMITH CASE
The Decision Is In Favor OF the De
fendant and Is Against the City.

I'm this case there is involved
civil issue. Charles Smith, a citizen
of Shreveport, was arrested for de
clining to pay a license of S35OW
for the sale of near beer. His con
tention was that near beer is not
an intOxicant, therefore, is soda wa
ter, and for this beverage he could
not be compelled to pay the license
required by the city. Smith was ar
rested and released on bond. The
trial was begun in the City Court
which directed that action be pro-
ceeded civilly. When tried in the
District Court the decision was
against the city. The city has ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. The
ruling of this tribunal IN effect set
ties the contention of the city
against Smith.

Weather and the Crops

New Orleans picayune, Feb. 26i
The season of the year has now ar
rived when all attention in the agri-
cultural districts OF the country,
and particularly in the South is de-
voted to the prepsrations for new
crops. Every day, when the wealth
or permits, the fields are plawed
and otherwise prepared for seed
| ing time, which is nopw but a few
weeks off in most districts, and has
lalrpady begun in the more southern
lly portions of Texas. While the
weather has been favorable for crop
preparations in the western portion
| o fthe cotton belt, notably in Tex
as, there has been entirely too much
rain east of the Mississippi River,
and complaints are now frequent of
backwardness in the preparation OF
the SOIL which holds out the pros
pecl that unless there is marked
change in the weather in the near
futuer the cotton crop over a great
lportion of the belt will make a late
lstart.
The rains have not been particu-
Harry heavy, but they have been en-
jlirely TOO frequent, accompanied
also by cold and inclement weather,
which has not been favorable for
field work. In Texas and in the
