1t has been but little over two
years since Mr.. William Sulzer was
called temporarily to preside over the
national democratic convention, then
in session at Baltimore. Today he is
rejoicing that he defeated the demo
cratic governor of New York, the
state in which he was for so long a
time so greatly honored by the dem.
ocratic party If Mr.. William Sulzer
belonged to the military arm of any
of the governments where war is in
progress he would be summarily
dealt with by court martial. Here in
this government, in its benignant and
tolerant reign of peace he is permit
ted to boast of his performances, but
in his performances Sulzer is wearing
big veneer-down in his heart he
knows that he is repudiated by ali
good people.

About II o'clock prayer was offered

after which all repaired to the tables
where the barbecue was to be served.
When all was in readiness Secretary
Rooney announced to the crowd.
'Eelp yourselves" and Immediately

IN READINESS FOR THE WINTER
TOURISTS

We had the pleasure of being shown
through the Ocala House yesterday,
and can say for truth that 1t has
been fixed up with exquisite taste and
is in splendid shape for the accommo-
dation of the tourist travel.
For a long time the Ocala House
was called "Ocala's Pride" That was
when it was owned by the late H. B.
Plant, and was run by Col. Phil F.
Brown.
AS fine as the Ocala House was
then it is infinitely finer now. 1t is
spic and span from the ground floor
to the cupola. Every room has been
gone over with scrupulous care; the
walls and ceilings have been repaper-
ed; more bath and toilet rooms have
been added; the old carpets and rugs
have been taken up and supplied with
new ones; the ladies have been pro-
vided with a reading room and rest
room down stairs; an electric ele-
vator has been added; the lobby has
been handsomely furnished and the
disposition of writing tables, mirrors,
rugs and divans give to it a coy and
most inviting appearance.
The Ocala House will open it's din
ing room next week, and if it does not
have a good run of custom it will not
be from any fault of it's management.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Passut, who
were with the Harrington when it
House, which augurs we'll for the pop
ularity of it's cuisine, cafe and dining
room.
The Harrington Hall has also been
renovated, and has spared no efforts
in its preparations to care for it's win
ter guests. A grill room has been
added. and Mr.. James Retkey, who
has made himself so popular and eff
cient all summer long, will make ex-
traordinary efforts to make the guests
of this popular hotel more pleased
than ever for the coming season.
The Florida House has more than
doubled it's capacity. 1t has added
wide veranda, connecting its two
wings, which makes it not only nice
for lounging in rockers, but also for
promenading. The house has under
gone a. thorough overhauling inside
and outside. Many of the rooms have
been entirely refurnished, and paint
ers and decorators have given to it
a most attractive appearance. The
Florida House is augmenting it's pop
ularity and gaining friends daily.
The Oklawaha Inn has been built
almost entirely over, and with it's
green roof presents very snowy ap-
pearance It's doors will soon be
thrown open.
The Carlton House will also be
found most comfortable and attract
i've.
Ocala has the hotel accommoda-
lions and can take care of any num-
Der of guests most 1uxuriously. 1t
has the attractions. 1t has beautiful
drives, high hills, enchanting land
scapes. Beautiful Silver Spring is
within stones throw; picturesque
Lake Weir is only a little further
away; the Oklawaha and Withlacoo-
shee rivers are within easy reach,
and there lakes and streams abound
in fish, and the surroundings woods
are full of game.
We have the attractions-we are
lacking only in visitors.
Come and see us. We promise to
take such good care of you that you
will come the second time.

OUR FIRST DREADNAucHT

One hundred and thirty-three years
ago today the 74-gun line-of-battleship
America was launched at Portsmouth,
N. H. If the word had been in use,
this battleship would have been
known as Americas first dread
nought" 1t was built unded the di-
rection of Paul Jones, the famous nav
ell hero of the Revolution. When
Jones returned from Europe in 1871
after his battle on the Bonhomme
Richard with the Scraps, congress
rendered his a vote of thanks, and
authorized him to go ahead and build
the America to drive the British from
our waters. But it took time then,
as we'll as now, to build battle5hip,
and before the America was finished
the war had ended. Congress present
ed the ship to France to Offset the
loss of the 74-gun French sip Magni-
fique which had been destroyed in
Boston harbor So the first line of
battleship the United States ever built
never had chance to show it's fight
ing strength under the American
flag.
Today the superdreadnought Penn
sylvania is to the battleship Connect
cut as the gunship America was to
the converted East Indiaman, the
Bonhomme Richard, in which Paul
Jones first made the American Navy
power of the sea. When the Bon
homme Richard defeated the Scraps
the America nation numbered less
than 3,000,000,000 people, today it has
more than thirty times that number,
but it has navy ten thousand times
as strong as it's little collection of war
ships in revolutionary days. One of
the smallest gunboats today could
sink the whole fleet of briggs and
schooners of 1875, and possibly whip
the whole British navy of that day.
A battleship like the Pennsylvania
could annihilate all the navies of the
world in the days of Revolution. The
Pennsylvania cost over $14,000,O00, or
enough to build all the wooden war
ships of the world in 1875. An hours
broadside from this superdreadnought
would cost more than it did to build
the first American battleship.
