TERRY SEWELL

Mr.. Terry Sewell, who came to
Ocala several weeks ago for medical
treatment, died Saturday night at
the residence of Mrs. VI. c. Dosh, on
North Watula street.
The remains were taken to Brooks
Brooksville on the early Sunday
morning train, and the funeral was
held in that city Sunday afternoon
at o'clock.
Mr.. Sewell had been i'll for several
months and came to Ocala thinking
that the change would be beneficial,
but he grew gradually worse until the
end came Saturday night.
Mr.. Sewell was a brother of Mr..
Carl Sewell and Mrs j. P. Galloway,
of this city, and a son of Mr.. j. A
SeweH, one of Brooksville's promi-
nent business men. He leaves a wife
and two small children.
The Ocala friends of the family
extend their sympathies to the be-
reaved ones.

NATIONAL HELP FOR
THE MARION COUNTY FAIR

Postmaster r. F. Rogers has been
instructed by the assistant posUmas-
ter general TO prepare an exhibit OF
the parcels post service for the Ma
rion County Fair.
The fair management has allowed
space for this exhibit and 1t will
doubtless be one of the chief attrac-
tions, as Colonel Rogers is making
big preparations for il.
In the display will be illustrations
of the many advantages to which the
parcels post may be applied by pat
rons Numbers Of standard pack
ages will be on exhibition, showing
how various articles must he packed
for transportation in the mails under
the parcels post law.
This will make a most interesting
exhibit at our fair, and the commun-
ity may we'll congratulate itself upon
the foresight of Colonel Rogers in
securing it for our big annual show.

THE FATE OF DUTCH"

There have been many rumors and
much speculation about the city as
to the fate of A. Blocher, or Dutch, +"
as many of his friends called him,
who left his position in Mr.. w. F.
Blesch's barbershop several weeks
ago TO visit his old home in Ger
many. 1t was said he was almost
met at the gang plank Of the ship
and impressed into the army; that
he had written to friends here from
the hospital where he was badly
wounded, etc. None of this is cor
rect Blocher is back in America and
wrote Mr. Blesch from gay Broad
way on the 4th that he was ready
to come to work if wanted, and Mr..
Blesch has written him to come.
Evidently he cut his visit. short in
Germany and was able to do what
some of the millionaires could not,
namely, get out Of the country and
across the water and home.
Judging from Mr.. Blocher's ex-
perience, and some others the Star
has heard Of, Germany, instead of
needing men, has more than she
wants. Several instances are re-
ported from Switzerland of young
Germans, married men, who went
home to take their places in the
army, and were told to go back to
their fraus, as the kaiser had more
men than he knew what to do with.

REMODELING OFFICES

Messrs. Hooker & Martin are hav-
ing their law offices entirely remod-
elled. Mr.. Blanchard is doing the
work, and when finished there will
not be more handsome or convenient
offices in the city. The offices are
located on the second floor of the
Munroe & Chambliss Bank Building.
The plans provide for an entrance
hall, a library and waiting room,
stenographer's room, two private
offices for the members of the firm,
and a storage room.

The Ocala evening star., 1914-09-07

Translated for the Ocala Star from
an editorial in the Lincoln
Erie Presse, of Sept. I'd, 1914,
by Charles f. Schneider.
Lord Kitchener, England's minis
ter of war, is said to have declared
that this war will end with Ger
many's extinction, even if it should
take several years; England is pre-
pared to put 100000 men in the
field. What a silly chatter! Where
is England to get two million men
from; it is now unable to put 20O,-
900 in the field, and the war will
not last several years, but will end
very much sooner with victory for
Germany and Austria.
England does not mean it serious
ly, either especially in the matter of
auxiliary troops and assistance for
the allies. To let and wit
ness the others butcher and rend
each other, to save and spare its
own strength and resources, but at
the end to be in at the death and to
absorb the lions share, this is Eng
lish politics and English character.
The last few weeks have once more
proven this Characterization to be
correct.
That the Belgians did their whole
duty is beyond doubt; it is also GER
tin that France will meet every obli-
RI f11E aaIo
ardly sneaks are not Frenchmen, and
when the truth shall finally come
out, it will be found that the French
from the very beginning stood by the
side of the Belgians against the Ger
mans. All, but England, No one
will blame the Belgians if they feel
rather miffed at England's behavior;
and if they don't like the idea, that
England, which controls the sea,
} should land troops in Havre, or else
where, as far as possible from the
scene of conflict and left the Belgians
alone TO protect it from England's s
guaranteed neutrality
One can only be surprised that
Belgian disgust and anger does not
} manifest itself far more strongly;
when they finally realize that they
! themselves, as we'll as Frenchmen
, may in the future expect from Eng.
land. Flattering words OF praise
and commendation they will receive
, from EngHshmen, but no effective
J assistance on land.
That would not fit into English
politics or English nature. England
cannot do that, because it has not
!. the power and even less the good
} Wilt would be contrary to it's en-
tire being.

Big Falling Off in Revenue Re-
ceipts For First Seven
Months of Year
DECREASE WILL CONTINUE
So Believes William S. Bricker,
New Collector, Who Just
Assumes Office

Statistics compiled at the local Of
f1ce of the Ninth revenue district from
January | to August 1, show a falling
off in the use of intoxicants, tobacco
cigars and cigarets This decrease, in
the opinion of William S. Bricker who
went into office on August is likely
to continue as sales for August to date
arc below that for the same time last
August.
The total receipts UP to August /
We're $271,S6O.S3; for the first si1
months in 1913, the total receipts were
1S,031.5S, or a deficit of S46,,17S.SO
Part of this deficit it is explained is
due to a slightly higher tax on beer in
1913. The total receipts for the yeaI
1911 were $593,691.10: 1912, $522,.

Picture Forging of
Great Steel Bar in
Big Electric Sign

Installed on one of the Chicago
electric light companys plants is a
spectacular sign representing the
forging of hot steel bar under a
converted steam hammer, the steam
power having been superseded by
compressed air pumped by an -
energy. ~
Two machine attendants are repre-
sented, one operating the control lever
and the other forming the steel bar.
The latter is seen to place the white
hot bar beneath the hammer, and at
each blow sparks flash out realistic
ally, decreasing in quantity as the
iron cools. BY outlining the con-
Meeting rod with a double circuit of
amber and ruby lamps the bar is
made gradually to lose its white hot
color and to assume a "cherry-red
heat as the hammering continues and
the rod cools. The portion of the rod
held in and adjacent to the hands of
the workman Us illuminated with am
ber-colored lamps to represent a lesser
degree of heat.
The movements of the other work
man are particularly realistic With
his hand on the throttle he moves it
slightly once or twice, to make sure,
the hammer is operating correctly.
Then he throws the valve wide open
and allows the hammer to strike it's
full blow.
Installed in the entire sign are 3617
10-watt tungsten lamps, 1900 of which
are in the flashing portion. The total
length of the display is 204 feet and
the height AZ feet, the flashing por-
ton being 55 feet wide. The magni-
tude of the sign is indicated by the
height of the machine attendants who
are 36 feet tall.-Electrical World

ITALY DESERTS HER FORMER AL
LIES

[From the Philadelphia public Leuger.l ]
Italy prefers to construe its treaty
obligations in a way to conserve 1t )
material interests. Had the Kingdom
anything to gain by making common
gary, a way would have been found for
interpreting the terms of the Triple AL
lance so as to make 1t hard and fast
offensive and defensive compact. But
Italy has everything to lose and moth
ing to gain by taking up arms against
England, France and Russia. If the
Italians make common cause with
France 1t is possible they may recover
from Austria some of the territory lost
years ago, and 1t is probable the Italian
coasts will be unmolested by hostile
fleets Even though not a single Italian
soldier should enter the field. Italy
should gain something If the Triple EN-:
tente is successful, when the spoils OF
war are divided, for a neutral Italy be-
comes an ally of the Entente.

Queer Fish Story.

A remarkable story is by fish
ermen about electric fish, other
wise known as torpedo fish
which attached themselves to
the steel plates of vessel and
fastened themselves by hundreds
to her sides retarding the ships
progress.
The steamer was in the Gulf
Stream, north of Cuba, when
she began to slow down. The
officers were at a loss to account
for the change in the progress of
the craft. Several sailors said
they felt a ting]ing sensation
about their feet and finger-tips.
The steamer was held back
strangely. Members of the crew
| became alarmed.
A sailor looked over the side
and saw it was plastered with
strengthening fish. They were
two or three thick along the port
side under water. The star-board
side also was covered, and those
on board believe the fish extend
ed to the keel plates.
AS the Rochelle moved north
and got out of the warm waters
| of the stream the fish dropped
off and the vessel Immediately
resumed her speed.
