Mr.. Fort Gets News
from Austria Hungary

Mr.. L. A. Fort, who Is native
of Austria-Hungary, is, of course,
very much interested in the war. In
conversation with Telegram repre-
sentative, he said: Yesterday ! got
the first letter from my sister-in-law
since the war broke out. The let
ter came from Budapest, the capital
of Hungary, and was written and
mailed on the first of September;
the usual running time for mail from
Hungary is fourteen days. My broth
er was called in for war service on
the 9th of July as captain in the
military train service. His last let
ter from the line was received by his
family on the first of September and
his war news is not as bad as it is
being made right here inLakeland j..
The only remark that might be con-
sidered is a criticism of the general
tactical work in which too much
blood was sacrificed to gain practic-
ally nothing. In consequence hospi-
tails are full of wounded and they

Friday Musicale
The Friday Musicale held its reg
ular meeting on Friday afternoon,
Oct. 2, in the Episcopal Guild hall.
The meeting was presided over by
the president, Mrs. H. j. Drane, the
other officers p resent being the IL
brarian, Miss Portia Patterson, and
the secretary.
Several responded to roll call and
it is hoped that all members will be
present at the next meeting.
However, the interest was not lag
ging among those who were present
and the Life and Works of Mcdowell
were chosen for the subject for the
month of October.
This is to notify the mem bers that
there will be an election held on Fri
day, Oct. 16, to fill certain offices
made vacant by resignation and this
is the regular notice required by the
constitution and bylaws to be given
two weeks previous to any election.
Dues are payable at the beginning
of the season and all are requested
to come to the next meeting on Oct .
8 prepared to pay up promptly.

Thinks Fair Should
Take Place OF
Celebration

Editor Evening Telegram: Since
considering the action taken by the
Board of Trade last Friday evening
as to having a celebration in Lake
land on Jan. l, 1915, duplicate of
the one successfully pulled off last
January, l wish to offer the follow
ing suggestions:
From the fact that Lakeland will
have to entertain for three days in
October the Confederate Veterans
reunion, and four days in November
the Woman's Federation, and the
last week in December the State Edu-
cational Association, and then in
February the Polk County fair is ~
be held here.
No, I think, there is such a
thing as trying to do too much, and
the only thing in the list that can
be omitted is the celebration for
Jan. l. Let us cut this out and put
that money and energy that will be
spent in the celebration in the Polk
county fair. If we do this. we can
make it grand success, and this
fair will be of more substantial good
to Lakeland and Polk county and the
State at large than any number of
celebration, though we were as
successful as the last, which think
impossible. If we have but the wild
ow's mite to spend, let us endeavor
to spend that in the way that will
] do the most good to the most people.
and that will be to put 1t in the
Polk county fair to be held in Lake
land in February.
Let us have other views along this
I, line.
Yours for success,
J. C. SWINDEL.

Attorney Tucker
Gives Impressions
of His Travels
Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 2.


Editor Telegram: Since I last saw
you at the depot shed have visited
many cities. I try to give you a few
of my observations, humorous and
otherwise.
First: There is enough food vast
ed every day in the large hotels and
cafes to feed all the hungry poor and
unfortunate of Europe caused by the
present war.
Second: The buy-a-bale move
ment is becoming so popular that
nearly every large business house
places a bale of real cotton in front
of their stores to secure the far ners'
trade. The idea originated at Hous-
ton, but was launched into a real
success in Atlanta.
Third: The sun has not bit of
respect f0f the compass out here; it
had just as soon come I'D in the
north or west as the east.
Next, the travelling pubic is less
protected than any other class of
people-you don't dare let your grip
and umbrella get Out of your sight
just think of having to give some
fellow 10c to hold it for you few
! minutes every time you turn around.
Then there's the ever present tip
that plays SO important part of the
travellers comfort. pay 81 day for
room with bath and no matter how
often ring for a bell boy different
one out of the dozen or more will
come every time and each expects
tip Of Csc every day. A fellow pales
into insignificance under the look of
scorn from his uniformed august
personality if he don't hand over the
coin. But I've learned to go the din
ing rooms OF the large hotels when
you desire to purchase an over sup
ply of attention from a head waiter
down to the little waiter, with mill
tary movements around you as you
fail to get anything for your money
but style, finger bowl, tooth pick
and small silver trap slipped
gracefully in front of you with the
ticket, and look on the colored
walters face that pierces right
straight for the place from whence
cometh the tip. ooh, who would
dare walk away without giving him
his due?) And also to go to a good
cafe for that to satisfy the inner
man. But one of the first things l
did was to violate the Mississippi
State anti-tipping law, by handing a
Pullman porter a coin.
Well, l saw fellow the other
day running an automobile a mile a
minute. At the races in Memphis
Disbrow smashed Barney Oldfeld's
five-mile records in ABA 2-5. Just
think of it; they said he had six
hundred pounds Of weight tied to his
back axle to hold it down. l asked
them why he didn't leave 1t off ana
let the thing fly.
Well, got so close to the Mason
and Dixon line that niggers almost
quit stenching. And I find that some
of the best people are strangers you
meet and some real Yankees.

Gorgeous Spectacle Promised by Those
In Charge Of the Exercises for
Next Monday.

Good news, like ill news, seems to
be an excellent traveller, if one may
judge of the speed with which the an
Inouncement of the handsome donation
of an additional $3.50 on the part of the
chamber of commerce for Campus Day
expenses reached the department that
were strugfgling to make five and ten
dollars do the work of fifty. A trip
around the buildings discovered many
heads bent over drawings and old
volumes of illustrations in an effort to
find pictures that could be copied for
the costumes in the great historical
pageant to be presented next Monday.
There was but one response to the
reporters query IS to how the in
creased donation would affect their
display, and it was clear that many
artistic and coveted effects would now
be possible to every department where
before the proper result was actually
despaired.

HOLD DEUTSCHE GESELLSCHAFT
Students in German Department at the
University Enjoy Annual Party at
the Guild Hall.

The annual Deutsche Gesellschaft
under the direction of Mrs. Caroline
Isaacson of the department of German
at the university was held at the Guild
almost $50 students who have studied
German at the varsity. In true Ger
man style a six-course dinner was
served and between courses German
songs were sung. To make the din
ner as nearly similar as possible to
such a feast in the "Old Country" the
food was eaten in German manner and
each guest was provided with a bottle
of root beer.
Special German costumes were pro-
vided for about a dozen of the men
while several of the girls wore cos
tunes representative of different
classes of the German people. Follow
ing the dinner a short musical pro-
gram, including selections by Miss
Hostetter, Mrs. Hughes and Mr.. Storer,
was rendered. This was followed by
an amusing little two-act German
presented by cast formed of
Miss Josephine Wayman, Miss Marion
Morse, Ralph Greene, Rollo Crater,
and Reuben Goodman.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in dancing, a number of German
steps being presented by members of
the party who had seen them danced
across the sea.

COLONEL PIQUED
OVER NEW RIVER
DISTURBED BECAUSE SOM E
DOUBT EXPRESSED ABOUT DIS
COVERY OF NEW STREAM.
If Anyone Don't Believe Its There He
Will Tell Them How to Find It.
Still Mum on Politics.

NEW YORK, May 21.-Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt was at his desk at the
Outlook office for awhile today. After
debating several letters to a steno-
grapher he visited the American mus
cum of natural history to superintend
the unpacking of some of the speci-
mems he brought from Brazil.
Nearly everyone he saw today had
questions to ask concerning the new
river. 1t was quite clear today that
the colonel was piqued by the doubts
cast on the genuineness of the dis
covery tits there" he exclaimed,
''At least a third of the river is nav
igable and if anyone wants to see
it for himself I'll tell him how to
get to it." His health didn't seem to
trouble him. He still declined to dis
Gus politics.

ROOSEVELT RESPONSIBLE
FOR MORSE'S TURNDOWN
LATTER DIDN'T GET MONOPOLY OF ATLANTIC
COASTWISE SHIPPING
MELLEN REVEALS THE REASON
New Haven Alleged to Have Been Promised Protec=
ton by Roosevelt Against Divorce
from Water Lines

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Why Chas
W. Morse failed to get an absolute
monopoly on the Atlantic coastwise
shipping was given the public when
Chas. S. Mellen, former president OF
the New Haven road, resumed his tes-
timony before the interstate COM
merce commission hearing today.
Only the personal Intervention of
Colonel Roosevelt, then president,
blocked such a condition. Morse had
offered Mellen $2O,0O0,000 for the New
Haven's steamship lines. Mellen said
he wanted to sell but that he had con-
suited Roosevelt, fearing the govern
ment was about to prohibit railroads
owning competing water lines. Mel
len said that he had told Roosevelt
that if Morse's offer wasn't accepted
that the New Haven might be forced
to sell at lower figure.
Roosevelt promised, according to
Mellen, that if the New Haven rejected
the offer that the corporations steam
ship holdings wouldn't be interfered
with while he was president. Mellen
said he rejected Morse's offer. Another
feature of Mellen's testimony today
was declaration that government
ownership of railroads was sure to
come. He defended the late j. Pier
pont Morgan, asserting that his death
had caused the New Haven trouble.

GAVE MUSICAL PROGRAM
Mrs. Farquhar Pleases Friends With
Recital Wednesday Afternoon.
(Contributed)

The musical program given by Mrs
Farquhar Wednesday afternoon to all
her friends and music lovers, was in
deed rare treat, perhaps more So
from the fact of it being in the nature
of a farewell recital previous to her
departure from Moscow. Good taste
and discrimination characterized Mrs.
Farquhar's selection of the numbers
on her program.
All were beautiful from the sweet
repose of the EvenSong, to the clos
ing number The Fanface and the
Gavotte being especially brilliant and
harmonious. At Evening, an ex-
quisite melody, full of peace and
quietude. The Offertoire by Batiste,
while most difficult composition, was
played with artistic finish, showing a
wonderful combination in the stops,
and the advantage of playing with both
hands and feet The Pilgrims Chorus,
always loved and revered by those fa-
miliar with it's deep, resounding tones,
was truly grand and beautiful.
The closing number, Bercerise in A
by Delbuick, SO eXquisitely dainty in
thought and rythm, gave lis linger-
ing memory full of pleasant and kind
ly thoughts for the organist, who so
generously contributed to our pleas
ure an hour of artistic music.
At the close of the program the Ia
dies presented her with a bouquet OF
pink and white carnations.
