FINEST POLICE IN WORLD
New York Police Captain Is Enthu.
siastic Over the Havana
Force.

A New York police captain, after a
recent visit to Cuba, describes the
Havana police force as one of the fin
est in the world, second, in his esti-
nation, only to that of New York.
The Havana policemen wear q light
blue uniform and a helmet similar 10
that of the French army officer. The
mounted and traffic policemen wear
spiked helmets. A cape is thrown over
the shoulder and revolvers are carried
In holster attached to the outside of
the jacket. In size the men do not
compare favorably with the police Of
New York or other great American
cities. They are large for natives,
but, in comparison with the American
standard, of medium, or below me-
dunn, height. What they lack in size,
according to the New York police
man, they make up in politeness. If
Havana "cOp" does not understand
your question he will find an inter
prefer. He will even go so far as to
walk several blocks with stranger to
street car in order to get him started
Alright to his destination. There is a
policeman on every corner and his job,
due to the narrowness of the streets
and the volume of automobile traffic,
is heavier than that of the average
lice captains live with their families
in the police station. Little drunken
ness is evident in the city.

navy. They were followed by girls in
typical colonial costumes, who gave
two pretty little dances with many
"courtesies," the idea of their leader,

led the figures. The other "dames"
were Misses Eugenia Fuller, Fannie

The chorus, led by Miss Cecil
Downs and Mr.. Jake Gerig, was in the
grandstand. Miss Gertie Peyser play

wore white dresses and red, white and

linrake, j. R. Herndon, Usher Nor
wood, T. NJ. Moore, d. S. Woodrow,
G. S. Cullen and Edward Drake. The
band was led by Mr.. w. w. Condor.
After the singing was over, Rev.
Bunyan Stephens offered an eloquent
prayer, invoking the divine help for
this nation and it's allies in their
righteous cause.
A brief speech from Mr.. L. w. Du-
val followed. Mr.. Duval can hardly
be said to have tried to make fourth
of July Grafton, but every word he
spoke was to the point. He gave
Americas reasons for entering the
war, defended the righteousness of
the cause and impressed the neces-
sity of loyal, cheerful and sustained
support by every citizen to his gov
eminent. We tried to obtain from
Mr.. Duval synopsis of his speech,
but with his characteristic modesty he
declined.
The Star Spangled Banner again
was sung, DR.. Stephens gave the ben
ediction, and the pageant was over.
This makes four and twenty fourths
we have seen in Ocala, and it was the
prettiest of all, the one that came
nearest the heart and the one that
meant the most.
We may not live to see it, but we
hope there will be another pageant or
some coming fourth of July, display
ing not only America and her allies
victorious, but one in which the Red
Cross ladies will select dozen or two
of faxen-haired girls to represent the
Gretchens of the German people
triumphant over their tyrants and
forgiven and welcomed to the sister
hood of nations.

The highest price lately paid for a

at New York auction the other day
for a f1ve-cent Hawaiian missionary

many things, but hardly to the sale Of
