Mr.. Samuel Dilly, a young sign
painter, who has come to Ocala to
take position with Jos. w. Dodge, is
from Scotland, and in coming over
some years ago had an experience
that it will always be interesting to
look back at. The ship on which he
voyaged from Scotland, was only
three days ahead of the Titanic, and
went 500 miles out of its usual route
to escape the icebergs. The ship and
its passengers had barely arrived in
New York when news came of the ac-
cident that Mortified the world.

Williston Courier: J. NJ. Sullivan
of Martel who for many months
fingered between life and death, pass
ed away Sunday night at the home
of his brother, r. L. Sullivan of Will
liston.
Mr.. Sullivan had been in the employ
of the Clark, Ray, Johnson Co., for
fourteen years as Inspector and ship
ping clerk, and while he had been in
poor health for the past few years
he continued at work until about
four months ago when he was forced
to give up, but was not confined to
his bed all of the time.
He was brought to Wiliston by
his brother about six weeks ago
where he could get better attention
and it was thought that the change
would also benefit him, but after five
weeks of careful nursing and skill
doctoring death claimed its victim.
He was loved by all who knew him;
was loving father, devoted hus-
band and a member of the NJ. E.
church of Martel. He was born and
reared in Ludowici, Ga. Besides a
wife and three children to mourn his
death, he leaves a mother, who re-
sides with her children; two brothers,
r. L. Sullivan of Williston, and T. E.
Sullivan of Darien, Fla; four sisters,
Mrs. ]. r. Miller, of Williston; Mrs.
j. o. Myers, of Istachatta; Mrs. w.
l. Gordon, of Ludowici, Ga; and Mrs.
Will Pinholster, of Kansas City, Mo
He was laid to rest Monday evening
July 10, at Orange Hill cemetery

The ~Embusques.

The French papers have been busy
of late with the case of the "em-
busque,' which is the name given to
the man who chooses a safe job in
the army. An incident seen last night
on the fringe of Soho suggests that
it is also applied to those who do not
choose the army at all. A couple of
French soldiers over here on leave
(they were in joyous mood, coming
down a side street, passed the kitch-
ems of a well-known French restau-
rant. They We're attracted by the sight
OF the cooks in the kitchens and
studied them attentively through the
grating. Then they began to taunt
them with shouts of "Embusque!" The
harmless necessary French cooks be-
low, startled in this rough way in
ambush" were furious. There
was an angry Gathering of pots and
pans and an elaborate slanging match
between the cooks and the soldiers.
me language was rich and varied,
and in the storm the sharp word "em.
busque' sounded like a bitter refrain.

ceIIuIoid Watch Crystals.

At the outbreak of the war Americ-

cerned regarding the watch crystal sit
uation; the German source of supply
being shut off, and previous attempts
to make them in this country having
failed.
Watch crystals of glass are now be-
ing made here successfully, and an
American inventor has helped the
matter along by devising a celluloid
watch crystal, which has the beveled
edge and general appearance of a
glass crystal and possesses the adj
ditional advantage Of being unbreak-
able.

Tho Lake and Rail Decision.
From the Chicago Herald.

go - LitAa Io.
These boat lines under control of the
petitiohlhs railroads. remarks the inter-
state commission in Its lake
ahd-Tall decision, have been first u sword
aiiu uiisn Il shlelu. The eplgram Is un-
usually accurate.
The origin of these railway lines OF
lake steamers is well known. They were
formed to enable railways which reached
from the sea only to the eastern end OF
the great lakes to compete with railways
which reached to tho western end and
the eastern half of the journey by Offer
ing water transportation on the western
half.
But when most of the Old trunk lines.
IRON the Atlantic TO LAX Erie-reached
across to Lake Michigan. and In a way
to Lake superior as well, the situation
changed. Also the attitude OF railway
arrangements toward the use of the boat
lines changed. AS the commission says:
When these roads succeeded In gain
Ing control of the boat lines which had
been IN composition with paralleiing
and later effected their combination,
by. which they were able to and did
drive all independent boats from? the
through l~ake-and-rail transportation.
they thereby destroyed the possibility
of competition other than such as they
We're OF a mind to permit. These boats
are now held as a shield against a pos
slble competition of new Independents.
Therefore the commission orders that
the railroads concerned divest themselves
of ownership and control of these steamer
lines. basing its decision not only on the
Interstate act but also on the
Panama canal act. 1t is rather surpris-
ing that the railroads have not sooner
gIasped in this matter the requirements
of public opinion and positive law.
The. great lakes and the Erie canal. with
the improvements which Illinois will
doubtless make in her canal-river system.
form water roads from the heart OF the
nation to its outer portals. The use of
these water roads should not DO rast rjct-
ed by the special interests of land roads
