The Washington herald., 1913-10-12

The prince. whose name appears on the
roll of the German army as a major OF
cavalry in the service OF Prussia, "a Ia
suite" in 1885 married the Princess Gerts
of Isemburg (of the Buedingen-W Waech-
tersbach branch). who traces her ances-
try back to the eleventh century. Prince
William himself has a pedigree that
reaches authentically back one thousand
years to the founder of the family, Thiad-
mar, Count Dedo, who fourished in Gen.
trail Suabia from s1s to s57. The House
OF Victim has been sovereign uninter-
ruptedly ever since, and has furnished
the Saxon line of German Kings and En-
perors from Henry the Fowler (Heinrich
der Vogelsteller)-eIe-to Henry II (Heln-
rich der Loewe)-l02L
Though the House adopted Christianity
only in sO4. after their defeat by Charlie
magne CKarl der Grosse), and then only
by compulsion. one Of their princes, the
Elector Frederick the Wise, became the
ton. The most famous OF the Weimar
sovereigns. however, was Duke Karl Au-
gust a Maecenas of art, literature,
science, and public education. Under his
fostering care the University OF Jena be-
came a focus OF intellect and knowledge.
Herder, Goethe, Schiller. and other men
of genius were invited to his court, and
transformed the small provincial theater
Of Weimar into its present proud posi-
ton of the chief school Of the dramatic
art in all Germany.
Small wonder then that a family of
such fame and antiquity balked at re-
ceiving the son of a Jewish banker, a

n KARY'S heart leaped at the pos
M sibility back Of those three
~ words, within the law" She
might do anything, seek any
revenge. work any evil. enjoy any mas
terry as long as she should keep with
in the law. There could be no pun
ishment then. That was the lesson
taught by the captain in high finance.
He was at pains always in his stupen-
dous robberies to keep within the law.
TO that end he employed lawyers Of
mighty cunning and learning to guide
his steps Alright In such tortuous paths.
There. then. vas the secret Why
should she not use the like means?
Why, indeed? She had brains enough
to devise. surely. Beyond that she
needed only to keep her course most
carefully within those limits Of wrong
doing permitted by the statutes. The
sole requirement would be a lawyer
equally interruptions and astute.
She took Joe Carson into her conf
dence. He was vastly a%stonished at
the outset and not quite pleased. To
his view this plan offered merely a
fashion Of setting difficulties in the
way Of achievement
Presently. however, the sincerity and
persistence Of the girl won him over.
The task Of convincing him would
have been easier had he himself yer
known the torment of serving a term
IN prison. Thus far. however. the for
ger had always escaped the penalty
for his crimes. though often close to
conviction. But Mary's arguments were
Of a compelling sort as she set them
forth in detail. and Carson agreed that
the experiment should be made.
An agreement was made by which
Joe Carson and certain Of his more
trusted intimates in the underworld
were to put themselves under the or
ders of Mary concerning the sphere Of
their activities. Furthermore, they
bound themselves not to engage In any
devious business without her consent.
Aggie. too, was one Of the company
thus constituted. but she figured little
in the preliminary discussions. since
neither Mary nor the forger had much
respect for the intellectual capabilities
Of the adventures. though they appre-
cated to the full her remarkable pow
eCs Of influencing men to her will.
It was not difficult to find a lawyer
suited to the necessities Of the under
taking. Mary selected Sigismund Har-
ris. IN attorney. just in the prime Of
his mental vigors. who possessed q
knowledge of the law only to be equal
ed by his disrespect for 1t.

CARNIVAL Is COMING
Week After Next, Under Auspices
of the Moose

The coming of the Nat Reiss Shows TO
present carnival attractions in Ocala
during the week commencing Monday,
March 3rd, under the auspices of the
Moose, Lodge No. 500, will mark an
epoch in the world of amusement and
entertainment that will be important
to all lovers of outdoor amusements.
The Introduction of the carnival as
a place of amusement. with it's varied
shows, all of which are of high stand
ard, strictly clean and moral. and with
the many riding devices and mechan-
zeal features, make it an ideal place
for all who are seeking enjoyment.
The Nat Reiss Shows have ever been
Inoted for the cleanliness and morality
of their attractions. They come to us
this season very much enlarged, hav-
ing added many new features.
The King Edward Jungle. or trained
animal show, is the largest in the
country having imported three of
Europe's most sensational acts for this
seasons tour. The six-lton act, as
presented by the daring young lady,
Princess Dixie, is a feature. this be-
ing the largest number of lions ever
presented in one act.
The leopard's feast is another strong
feature, showing the power of man
over savage beast. The German ami
NAL trainer. Captain Hiltbrunner, in
PRODUCES his happy family. consisting
of pumas, panthers, hyenas and dogs.
There are also performances by pam
theirs, 1eopards, ponies, bears, dogs.
goats and monkeys.
The menagerie alone is worth a
visit, comparing favorably with those
carried by the large circuses- The
animal show is just one of many high
class shows. There are shows TO suit
all tastes for amusement. Tt requires
thirty double-length cars to transport
this vast aggregation
Elaborate preparations are now be-
ing made for the lighting facilities,
and this will enable all who attend to
view the free acts to the best possi-
bic advantage.

Messrs r. Hudson Burr and Newton
A Bliteh Of the state railroad commits
SION, while in the city yesterday, look
ed over the city yard of the Atlantic
Coast Line. and considered the matter
of a new freight depot for Ocala. The
Banner says of their visit:
'Messrs Burr and Bitch say that it
is useless for the commission to order
the construction of the buildings and
other improvements contemplated, as
it will be impossible for the railroad
company TO comply with the order as
long as the city council refuses TO per-
nit the closing OF the streets"
Messrs. Burr and Bitch evidently
didn't hear but one S de OF the ques-
ton II they had been made thorough
~ familiar with the ground, II is i'm
possible that they could have come to
any such decision.
The Atlantic Coast Line has property
of its own in the south of the city
amply sufficient to build a freight de-
pot on without closing any streets. IT
keeps the present antiquated shack in
its present place in hopes to worry the
city into making certain concessions
and the city weakly allows it to do so
AS we understand, tho railroad wants
the city to allow 1t to close the streets
from South Third to South Eighth, in
consideration of which it viii put up q
$4,000 brick depot The value of the
concession would be more than $4,000
now, and increase steadily as the city
increased
The Star doesn't think the council
should allow South Fifth street to bt
closed. or even blocked. It is one OF
the principal streets in the city, con-
Meeting the high school with one o.
the leading residence sections. This
railroad has had it almost as good, OF
bad, as closed for the last twent!
years, and it is now time to open it.
The Star thinks that If the railroad
will agree to erect a good freigh
building on the proposed site, south o
South Fifth street and west of Oseeoli
avenue, that the city should allow it Il
close South Sixth and Seventh streets
provided 1t will pay the city reason
able price for so doing. The Star doesn'
see any reason for the city making tn
railroad a present of any of it's streets
The railroad makes the people of Ocal:
pay for everything they obtain from
1t, and the Star fails to see why /
should expect any gifts. 1t is able t,
the city to make it any presents, i
should set the example.
If the railroad will not accept reas

to this matter, the city, should, afte

AD0RNMENTs FOR THE TABLE
Cloths, Luncheon Sets and Doiles
Should All Be of the Finest
Possible Materials.

The tablecloth Is becoming q thing
of rare beauty and some of the new
ones are lovely enough, with their
wealth of lace and hand embroidery,
20 be used for lingerie gown.
For the round table the linen covers
only the top. a 14-inch border of cluny
lace hanging below. This same lace
is inserted in the center of the cloth
and takes the place of the usual CEN
ter-piece.
For the luncheon set color is being
introduced. Daisies embroidered In
natural tints upon heavy Irish linen
give a charming new touch. These.
as a rule. include a large ceEterpiece
and a dozen doilies.
The petals of the flowers are done
with very thick, fluffy floss and the
embroidery can be finished In very
short time.
Other pretty luncheon sets are made
Of finer linen, the doilies being cut In
squares instead of round, while the
new punch work and very little fine
French embroidery are introduced.
For breakfast the table linen is
much palmer, and these sets include
the cloth and dozen small napkins.
Damask embroidered In quaint little
flower designs In color are very attrae-
tive, while others are of linen crash
embroidered In cross-stitch.
All of these are rather expensive
when bought in the shops, but the

the subject. and they not only do not
favor it, but express doubt that the
state would be able to sell such a
large issue of bonds on good terms. If
at all.
The following from the Tampa
Times, written in the light of past ex-
perience. is very good argument:
Undesirable Advertising

bonding the state for fifty million dol
lars viii be the greatest advertisement
THAT the state has ever had-in way

vertise to the world that Florida has
something less than a million of the
Icraziest Iunatics or the greatest
gamblers on the habitable globe to
risk almost the value of the entire tax
able property of the state upon the
success Of a single proposition.
Enterprise and public spirit" un-
balanced by sound business sense and
financial sagacity will not commend
themselves to the shrewd investors
who would be asked to handle the tre
fmendous sum of bonds that it is pro-
iposed to issue They will inevitably
ldfscern the recklessness and the gam
bling spirit underlying the transaction
THAT cannot be seen apparently by
those vast mentalities of lmitless
comprehension.
i The inquiries will surely be made,
What is the security for the payment
of these bonds at maturity? What
collateral lies behind them?" The men
Iwho have accumulated sufficient re-
: sources to render them able to handle
such stupendous sums as fifty million
dollars do not lend such amounts upon
speculative hopes of future attainment.
There must be something presently
tangible.
, Some years ago, when it was pro-
posed to bond Hillsborough county for
four hundred thousand dollars for the
same purpose to which the fifty mill
lions are designed to be devoted, the
! Times exerted all of its influence
against the scheme. foretelIing the con-
sequence and prophesying the folly in
which the people were being persuaded
to indulge. Every warning was JUS
! titled The people of the county plac-
ed upon their shoulders a burden that
it will take years to relieve. and what
have they received for it? few
streaks of mud and dust and legacy
Of debt.
We are not familiar as yet with the
details of the fifty million scheme
such, for instance. as the time it is
: proposed for the bonds to run and the
rate of interest they are intended to
: bear. These two items will have much
to do with the aggregate debt that the
people OF Florida will be asked TO place
upon themselves. II the time and the
rate are similar to those of the county
bonding scheme, the people, If they are
guilty of the unspeakable folly tC
: which the promoters are endeavorine
: to persuade them, will pile up a pyra-
mid of one hundred million, instead OF
: fifty, for themselves and powerless
: Iposterity to remove. Will they be guilty
of the colossal folly of fathering this
stupendous advertising" coup, or viii
! they, in their sturdy common sense
: consign it to the fate it merits? We
. have no doubt of the answer.
