UNcIVIL AND UNTRUTHFUL

The Star didn't have anything to do
with entertaining Mr. Donovan of the
Yankees on his recent visit to this
city, and il he is correctly quoted by
the Savannah News, it is glad it was
not represented in his encourage while
he was in Ocala. The News says:
Donovan arrive IN Savannah from
Ocala, Fla, early yesterday morning
and almost Immediately wired the
owners of the New York club that
after a careful inspection of the two
cities he had decided upon Savannah
as the 1915 training camp for the
Yankees.

Mr.. Donovan was given a warm vel

courtesy possible. The people who
met him supposed he came here to see
what Ocala was like, and they gave
him every opportunity to see; but they
didn't beg him to bring his team to
Ocala. He expressed himself very
rnuch pleased, especially with the
baseball diamond; and be made some
remarks about Savannah just as un-
complimentary as the News says he
made about Ocala. So if the News
quotes Mr.. Donovan correctly, he
wears two faces, under one hat, and
is considerably lacking in both civility
and truthfulness.

Such will be the Gasparilla celebra-
ton in Tampa next week, full descrip-
tion of which is being made in our
news columns. The Star hopes Mar
ion county will be largely represent
ed at this festival. Tampa is the best
town of its size on the American con-
tinent, and nowhere else can the peo-
pie of South Florida so conveniently
and consistently go to enjoy them
selves. A man can have good time
in Tampa any day in the year ard II

arrived in the city today for the pur-
pose of holding a monster ceremonial
session tonight when many of our
good citizens will be conducted across
the sandy waste of the desert and
over the Pyramids and in full view of

much enjoyment for those who are
tyros as we'll as for the votaries.
The Dramatic Order, Knights of
Khorassan is an organization whose
membership is composed of Knights
of Pythias in good standing in their
own lodges and is a common plain
where members of the order can meet
for social enjoyment. Their work is
very dramatic.
The following order has been issued
by the royal vizier and must be obey
ed by all the faithful:
Gather together We faithful guard
ians of Khorrassan's shield and We
brigands of Mokanna's bloodthirsty

band, and all ye votaries and present
yourselves in clean linen and pleasant
smiles at the Castle Hall in the oasis

O'Clock sharp. For on this evening all
Pythian infidels who are not true sub
jects and who have been taken pris-
oners by Mokanna shall be taken be-
fore our beautiful Queen Elektra, she
who by the throb of her mighty heart
has caused many tyros to quake with
far. There on bended knee shall

Councilmen, Tompkins, Knight, Moore,
Nash and Smith.
Business was taken up where left
off Tuesday night
Mr.. r. S. Rogers was asked to ex-
plain his map proposition. Mr.. Rog-
ers exhibited his specimens of partly
completed work, told the council of
the great need of an accurate map,
made from accurate surveys, and men
toned the many inaccuracies Of
streets IN the existing maps, changes
in land divisions, remaining of streets,
tapping OF land descriptions with no
means of telling which was right, etc,

book of about forty sectional plats
would cost around $1,000 and would
take six months to complete it. The
council agreed that such a map was
needed but finances would not justify
its being made right now, and ask
ed Mr.. Rogers to put his proposition
in writing. Mr.. Meffert stated that
he would rather have Mr.. Rogers
