ACCIDENT ON STREETS YESTERDAY
BOY NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH

Marshal Jones was right on the job
and arrested the driver of the auto
and notified the boy to be in court this
morning.
Mr.. Brownlow was fined SIS and costs
for reckless driving, and is also to pay
the doctor bill for the boy and pur-
chase him new bicycle. This is all
that could be expected and Mr.. Brown
low is thankful that the boy (whose
name we did not get) was not killed.
This is only an advance of what will
become almost daily occurrences at
the corner of the Sponge Exchange
bank if Pinellas avenue is not opened
through to Eagle street to relieve the
congestion. The council meets next
Tuesday night and there is little doubt
but that they will pass the ordinance
which has been drawn and which will
put the matter of opening Pinellas
avenue up to the people. That's all
that is necessary, for the people will
surely vote to have it opened as none
of them can tell who will be the next
victim of accident.
Tarpon's streets are too narrow.
The marks put in the middle of the
streets are good thing though they
are not all that is necessary, for big
autos have trouble getting around the
bank corner without hitting the street
markers in the center of the street.
The people are all aware of the crying
and daily increasing need Of opening
up ,Pinellas avenue, and as Mr.. Lowe,
the president of the Sponge Exchange
bank, who is constant observer Of
the congestion at the bank corner,
says: at is not a question of what
it will cost, it is a thing which must
be done and wise council will open
Pinellas avenue at the best terms they
can make"
The cost of opening the avenue is
very reasonable when it is considered
that the street will run through one
of the most valuable pieces of prop
erty in the city.
The council under whose direction
Pinellas avenue is opened up will
leave record behind them as a wise
body of men who did something of
real and lasting value to their city.

FROM BUSINESS BY MAPP ACT
-CITIZENS STOCKED UP

Richmond, Va, Nov. 1.-Virginia

hibiting the sale of ardent spirits, ev-
cept by bonded drug stores, and
throwing stringent restrictions around
it's shipment, will become effective.
About $50 liquor dealers will close
their doors. They have been prepar-
ing to close for several weeks and

It will be unlawful after November
/ for any person in the state to manu-.
facture, transport, sell, advertise, give
away, dispense or solicit orders for ar

Long before the hour of assembling
the children thronged the streets in
the neighborhood of the high school
building, where they were taken in
charge by the teachers of the grades
and classes, who had worked hard and
faithfully for several weeks to make
the festival a success. AS fast as the
automobiles arrived they were assign
ed places on streets leading off from
Eagle street, and the same procedure
was had with the. commercial floats.
Everything worked smoothly, and
promptly at the appointed time, 1880,
the parade started up Eagle street to
Orange, thence to Spring boulevard,
to Tarpon avenue, thence through the
business section on Tarpon avenue as
far as Ring avenue, where the parade
countermarched back through Tarpon
avenue to Pinellas avenue. The auto
mobiles and floats then ranged them
selves closely along Pinellas avenue,
on the west side of the street in front
of the city hall for inspection by the
judges, while those who participated
in the parade on foot were at this
point disbanded.
Where every feature of the parade
was so good it is difficult to discrim-
mate and single out any one particu-
lar feature for special praise. What
might be said of one would apply with
almost equal force to all.
The City fire department made a
magnificent show and their apparatus,
automobile fire truck, hose cart, ETC.,
was gaily decorated and the entire de-
partment, in fire fighting regalia,
marched Immediately behind horse
covered with a blanket of Evening
Leaders, led by man, also gowned
with Leaders and who acted as Leader
of the procession.
Following the fire department came
the grades from the public schools,
each with their respective teachers in
charge. Every child was furnished
with an appropriate lantern and their
long wavering line, with their bob
bing lights certainly would have
made an inspiring spectacle in any
country.

1t was an ideal day.
1t was more than an ideal night.

~ Woo OIL 1uCoi udys
1t was more than an ideal night.
1t was the greatest day and night
in the history of Tarpon Springs.
If the weather had been made to
order for us, it couldn't have been bet
ter. Dame Nature smiled; the even
ing was such a one as even the Bay of
Naples never saw; such one as only
Florida can produce, and in conse-
quence the good citizens of Tarpon
Springs smiled with a smile that will
never wash off.
Brilliant with electric lights, spark
ling with floods of colored glow, pune
tuated here and there with glistening
sunbursts, rivalling the brilliancy of
diamonds, the great procession of
children, of merry maskers, of his
torically dressed characters, of Won
drous floats representing the indus
tries of the city and the surrounding
country, of beautifully decorated au-
tomobiles loaded with the fairest of
Florida's sons and daughters, wound
its way through streets shaded by
tropical foliage, past mirrored waters
whose surface flashed back glad well
come, thence through the business Sec
tion and back to the 4ittle gem of q
city park, on the streets surrounding
which the second annual celebration
of Halloween disbanded and the
sports of the evening were held.
To say that the great procession
was revelation does not express it.
ut was more than a revelation-it vas
a spontaneous outburst of civic pride,
of faith in the future of Tarpon
Springs, of realization of its natural
beauty-of vision of what it will be-
come in the near future.
1t was an object lesson, and the
strangers who witnessed it so regard
it, and will forever afterwards be a
walking advertisement for the sur
rounding country and the thriving city
of Tarpon Springs, the most superb
jewel in big cluster of gems await
ing the proper setting, better polish
ing, and in the march of progress a
frmer place in the commerce of the
nation.

MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND SPECTATORS WATCH
PARADE AS IT WOUND THROUGH RESIDENCE
AND BUSINESS SECTION 'GLISTENING LIKE A
DIAMOND OF FIRST WATER"

Then came the Royal Italian band
from Tampa, musical organization
famed throughout the state, and who
had been brought over from the Cigar
City by public spirited citizens in pri-
vate automobiles for the occasion.
Following the Royal Italian band
came the masquers and merrymakers,
several hundred of them, armed with
every sort of grotesque equipment,
born of a fertile imagination, and
their antics would have made a clown
in a great circus laugh. They en-
bodied the true Halloween spirit of
the carnival.
These funmakers were followed by
the Tarpon Springs band which was
warmly applauded by the crowds who
lined the streets in dense masses.
When the local band ran out of wind
the Tampa band started up so that
there was no lack of inspiring music
from start to finish.
Then came the artistic and classical
part of the procession-the decorated
tomobiles-dressed in the most ar
tistic manner, and all of them so SUI
perbly beautiful that we dare not
attempt to describe them singly. The
Judges of the prizes that were offered
wrestled earnestly with this question
and we refer the reader to their decis
ion as to which was the prettiest; they
were all bewilderingly beautiful to US.
Bringing up the rear came the long
line of floats, representing the busi-
ness interests of Tarpon Springs and
vicinity. These were numerous, ap-
propriate and tastefully gotten up.
Sponges, the chief industry of Tar
pom Springs, was represented by
most magnificent float, showing a
Greek sponge boat, with a diver in
full uniform. This was the float Of
the United Divers Supply company.
On the canopy over the boat reclined
a beautiful mermaid, smothered with
sponges from the Gulf of Mexico,
The Sponge Exchange Cigar COM
pany had one of the most costly and
beautiful floats in the procession, with
cigarmakers at work, walled in with
favorite Smokes" and leaf tobacco.
This float won first prize. It was a
dandy. ....
The Coca-Cola company had one Of
the finest floats ever shown in a pa
rade of this character, and was award
, ed second prize. Frank Wharton had
a large and appropriate float repre-
sentative of the grocery business. The
Chero-Cola company also were repre-
sented by a large float, beautifully
decorated. George Kaber made fine
showing of natal hay; the City Meat
Market, meat products, and the River
side dairy, milk, all worthy of special
mention.

THROWS CRUTCH
At ENEMY AS He
FALLS DYING
Enrico Toti, One-Legged Italian Sol
dier, Hurls Hand Grenades for
Hours at Austrians

Rome.-At the forty-sixth anniver-
sary of the complete Italian liberation
and the restoration of Rome as the
capital of Italy, the Gold Medal for
Valor was awarded to soldiers who
distinguished themselves on the field.
Posthumous honor was conferred
upon Enrico Toti, once a sporting
man, who determined to volunteer de-
spite his having lost a leg. He was a
fine type of the stalwart Roman,
swarthy, bright-eyed, athletic. The
officials at Rome refused him. He
went to the war zone and demanded
to see the Duke of Aosta, the kings
uncle, who commands an army. Peo-
pie laughed at him. Why did a poor
Roman with one leg want an audience
with the Duke of Aosta?
However, persistence got him into
the dukes presence, and he pleaded
so hard to be sent into a regiment of
Bersaglieri that the duke finally con-
sented.
Toti could shoot we'll, and did good
service with his rifle at Selz, last
April. When his regiment went to
Monfalcone last August he managed
to get into the front line as it march
ed to the assault of Hill N. IS. The
fighting was hard
Hurled Grenades for Hours
Leaning on his crutch in the front
line of Italian trenches, Toti bonn
barded the Austrians with hand gren-
AIDES for hours. Twice wounded, he
stuck to his post, throwing grenades
and encouraging his comrades by his
brave example. Finally third wound
proved fatal. Feeling he was about
to die, Toti struggled to his one foot,
held himself up by the parapet of the
trench and, hurting his crutch at an
Austrian, fell dead.
The king was so impressed with
Toti's story that he ardered his mem
ory to be honored with the Gold
Medal for Valor, only given for acts
of distinguished bravery. His old
father received the medal in the pub
lie park of the Borghese Villa, amid
the cheers of vast multitude.

sition it will require the united aid of

The south, which has the opportunity
to secure this great plant, should have
special interest in lending this pro-
ject vigorous and united support.

ENLISTED MEN MAY
Be CALLED IN SOON
RECRUITS MAY BE SUMMONED
TO coLoRs; ARE WARNED
TO BE READY

Col. Maurice ]. Sullivan, lieutenant
governor and ex-officio adjutant gen
eral of Nevada, was a visitor to Tono-
pah last evening. He came home for
the purpose of voting and then pro-
ceeded to check up on the enlist
ments for the U. s. volunteer service,
with the object of determining how
fit were the candidates for martial
honors. He was surprised at the
abundance of available material in
Tonopah and assured those who we're
instrumental in securing volunteers
that the eager recruits would be
called on before long. The men en-
rolled at the Tonopah station are !:
G. C. Siefert. j. p. Peterson, T. II.
McDuff. j. c. Reinhart, Pat Mooney,

1t should be understood that none
of these men enlisted for service in
the national guard, since there Is a
serious objection to entering that
body through fear of being called on
for strike duty. Col. Sullivan says
there are over forty fine looking men
enrolled in Reno who are carried on
the army subsistence ra.l through an
arrangement with lodging houses ant
restaurant keepers.
