LOUIS T.. BOILER

All our people, even those who
scarcely knew him, deeply regret the
death of Mr.. Boiler, and join in SYM
pathy for his widow and orphaned
son, who are now finding sincere
friends in what was to them almost a
foreign land.
Louis E. Boiler was born in Man
chester, Va, not quite thirty-four
years ago. He passed most of his
life in Norfolk, Va, and in that city
fifteen years ago was united in mar
riage to Miss Roberts, who survives
him. One son, Ivan, now thirteen
years old, was born to them. The
little family came here from Norfolk
three years ago last winter. They
came to Ocala intending to farm, and
for that purpose purchased a place
out on the Anthony road some two
miles from the city. Mr.. Boiler,
however, found he could do better at
other pursuits with which he was
more familiar, and either rented his
| farm or worked it on shares, while
| he took a position as bookkeeper with
the Ocala Iron Works. Later he took
up the business of we'll drilling, at
which he made quite a success: He
had returned home from carrying out
one of his contracts on the evening
that he received his fatal wounds.
The Boilers have been an eXcep-
tional family: devoted to each other,
and seeming to care little for society
outside of their own home circle and
a very few friends. 1t can be we'll
remembered by his friends how Mr.
Boiler, on the occasions when he sent
his wife and boy to Virginia for the
summer months, found himself, as he
expressed it, utterly lost outside his
work hours, and wandered disconso-
lately around town in the evenings
finding no solace for his loneliness in
the recreations usually resorted to by
other men in the same circumstances
1t is owing to the clean and regular
life he led that he did not die in q
few minutes after he was so fatally
wounded. Few other men could have
lived long enough to be brought sc
far to a doctors care, let alone live
for nearly five days after
! The condemnation of the manner
in which Mr.. Boiler met his death is
widespread. While his slayer's side
/ of the story has not been heard, it
does not seem possible that there
could be any justification for such a
savage attack by two armed men on
/ one unarmed, and who seems tC
have been only following the natural
course of a man taking up for his
own.
The funeral services will be held
at the Presbyterian church at
o'clock this afternoon. Rev. w. H
Dodge will officiate and interment
will be in Greenwood. Newer and
MacKay Will have charge.

4 FINE GAME BETWEEN
WELL-MATCHED TEAMS
OcaIa Defeated Lawtey by Very
Narrow Margin

ccaIa beieateu LdWtey DS Yer!
Narrow Margin
1t was a very fine game between
OcaIa and Lawtey on the home field
yesterday evening. The Lawtey nine
fulfilled expectations OF being a hard
crowd to handle, and as inning after
inning passed without either side
scoring. it began TO look like the
game would be a tie. In the seventh,
however. Pearce, Lawtey's right field
er, muffed fly by Julius Brown,
which gave OcaIa the point she need
/ ed for a victory.
The best thing about the game was
that it was played by home boys on
both sides. and Ocala can appreciate
! the interest OF Lawtey people in their
team. which after fourteen conse-
cutive victories met its first defeat of
the season yesterday. 1t is a superb
team of fine young men. and our
! city hopes to see them again this
summer
| The lineups were as follows:
Ocala: Bats, IS; Harris, If; Davis,
| c: ChaZal, j., p; Brown, J., IF; Cha
zal, c., 2b; Burford. CT; Bullock. 1b;
Dewey, 3b.
Lawtey: Burney, E.. 3b; George,
2b; Lastinger, CT; Pearce, H., p; Bur-
ney. H., c; Moore, SIS; Brown, 1b;
Sapp, If; Pearce, A, IF
The Ocala team will be busy all
next week training for the game with
Gainesville at Gainesville on the 31st,
and if the University City doesn't
send to Jacksonville and Chicago for
professionals, our boys have a mighty
good prospect for another victory

MOUSE LIKES MUSIC

A little mouse almost caused a
stampede in the Baptist church
yesterday. The pianist Miss Jennie
Proctor, was playing the prelude
to a hymn when a little mouse
waltzed out on the pulpit right in
front of her and commenced to do
the light fantastic.
One scream and the music stop.
ped "Look at that mouse. can't
play" and much to the amusement
of the congregation the mouse
chased the pianist around the pull
pit.
Rev. Goodsell attempted to step
on the animal but the mouse beat
a hasty retreat; the music recon-
menced and the mouse appeared
once more but soon disappeared.
The mouse evidently liked good
music. Sparks Tribune

Deceived by tho Title.

In the titles Of books lie at times
pitfalls for the unwary. An almost
classic example was afforded by John
Ruskin when In 1851 he wrote a short
pamphlet on the text, "There shall be
one fold and one shepherd" This,
which treated of the reunion of the
Protestant churches, was published as
"Notes on the Construction of Sheep
folds"--a title which, appealing rather
to the agricultural than to the clerical
mind, insured brisk circulation
among farmers.

IAN tell the difference. Cotton FIBRE
is now given kink and oily feel
ing by a manufacturing process
which makes it substitute for wool.
Shoddy is now being so skillfuly
blended with new fleece wool in
weaving that even laboratory tests
cannot detect it.
These are some of the more com
mon frauds being practiced with
immunity on the helpless public.
The solution is Pure Cloth Law.
The law should not discourage the
reclaiming of used wool or the
manufacture Of artificial products.

price of genioe article it should be
protected by a label from substi-
tutions and dulterations.

Houra of S1eep.

According to DR.. Frederick B.
Percy of the Boston university
school of medicine, the least cultur.
ed and least developed adults need
the most sleep, and the higher the
intellectual development the more
prone one is to dreams. The healthy
child of two years passes half it's
time in slumber. The adult re-
quires from seven to eight hours of
sleep daily, aged persons not more
than five or six hours. Women
1eed, as a rule, more sleep than
men. There are persons to whom
nine OF even ten or twelve hours
Of sleep are essential, while others
seldom sleep more than six out Of
the twenty-four. Too much sleep
is possible. Sleep undisturbed is
what we al desire.

PUBLIC is
CHEATED
In SILKS
Manufacturers Defraud
Unwary With Cheap
limitations

Washington, July 8 ]913-Do we
need a pure cloth law. For four
years Walter S. Lewis a govern
ment expert in the Bureau of Stand
ards in Washington has been doing
nothing else than testing fabrics
under the microscope and with
chemicals. His discoveries are
just becoming known but they tell
an amazing story of fraud and de.
ception being practiced upon the
American public by unscrupulous
manufacturers.
Substitutlons and adulterations
have become so common in recent
years that it is now practically i'm
possible to buy purity in certain
fabrics at any price. 1t is doubtful
if fraud in food products before
the passage of the Pure Food
Law were ever carried on to the
extent with which it is now prac-
ticed in the manufacture OF cloth.
Take silk for instance. Silk is
coming into more and more COM
mon use among the people. Lewis
has made an exhaustive study of
silk, and he uses the word 'invar-
iahly" to describe to what extent
silk cloths are adulterated. Years
ago only pure silk was sold, and
almost every humble family had
y oRSs piece of silk which had been
ded from the mother or grand
Mother, but still was in good con-
dition. Today pure silk can be Sc
cured by extraordinary methods,
such as by ordering it directly
from the manufacturer, a method
out of the question for any
but the rich.
Silk aduiteration is of two
sorts: either thin silk is weighted
or loaded" with tin by chemical
process. or the silk is entirely arti-
fetal. Lewis's Investigations have
shown that ordinary silk is loaded
from SO per cent to 800 per cent,
while silk loaded 600 per cent has
been found.
In weighted silk the pure fibre is
incrusted with salt of tin, caus.
ing the threads to become stiff and
brittle so that they break easily al
the seams and folds. This accounts
for the rapid wearing out Of silk
skirts. Indeed modern adulterateC
silk is highly adapted to the rapid
ly changing women's styles for {
piece of weighted silk ordinarily
wears out in one season.
Artificial silk is the product OF {
new industrial process whereby
wood pulps changed into silk-like
fibre which is more lustrous ant
beautiful than genuine silk in many
respects. The pulp is converted il
to a gelatine which is spun int
thread by being forced through
tiny tubes. The sticky thread passes
Immediately into a solution which
hardens il. 1t is then dried ant
wound on bohbins, %.
Ordinarily artificial silk will no
stand washing, 50 it is used in tn,
manufacture of necktie and cur
tains. Artificial silk can be an hon
est product. 1t is very cheap an
ought to have wide use. But il
The absense of pure fabric Law
is being sold as silk at sill
prices, and the public is being de
frauded.
