culator of the “coming stasoa’s pr spects,’
to that of the man chuck full of business,
regardless of past, present, cr future sea

and more especially does one shake off all
lethargy on sniffing the lingering fumes of
gunpowder expended, and tne echoing sen
timents of Tom Harris and the other big
guns in glory of the great deal between the
Ocala House Company and Dean’s New
York syndicate, which, some are so wicked
as to say, “Tom's versatility worked into
the celebration of th first anniversary of
the birth >f the new capital.”
Chemist Se e Mai wan is a prommen.
figure on the streets l Ocala. He looks as
though he iiad devised an extract from some
ono of the products of Fieri ;a’a trees of
life and inf ised it with his la belle trance
blood, so yoirhful does he appear since
handling phosphate*. Ihe ga! ant h reuch
man grows sublime when telling and ges
ticulating how “I sjj arrest last night for
carry in my p ckec zv arrow head of the
de A Semin !e I found in ze grave. It were
no ooncs!ed weapon, surely, and the sheriff,
Mo is Williams, arrest me oot.”
Mr. Malyvau has recently discovered the
f [raves of 110s whom.it is supposed, be
.onged t both the Somlnoles and the fol
lowers of De Soto. The graves are located,
he says, with one of his French winks,
"Somewhere betweeu Ocala an l Martel,”
doubt,ess having iu hand another surprise
to celebrate.
To see Capt. L. M. Thayer lounging about
the Ocala house recalls the day when his
management of that excellent venture by
C. Monroe Brown, which, if not as profita
ble as his friends oould wish to-day, stands
a monument of the faith he plaoed iu the
"hummack town” eight years ago, aid
gives to the old habitues a chance to refer
to the seeond-to-uone management of Capt.
Thayer. Things have materially changed
aiiice thou. Monroe Brown parted with his
"hobby,” his name ieft the house,*but the
"boys ’ carved and painted in big letters on
the east gabie of the pretty pagoda they
erected ii the court house square, “Jl. C.
B.” They got th 9 initials slightly mixed,
but they will last as long as the band stand.
Mr. Brown, In his happy faoe, shows that
fortune smiled a phosDhatic smile on hira
lf and delightful family. They live
quietly in their uill-top home, content with
each oiher and the results of the phosphate
discovery.
Capt. Thayer has also retired from the
hotel field to enjoy the success of honest
work m tbo phosphate world —the half-mil
lionaire. He, lute honest John F. Dunn,
wears the phosohate halo, notwithstanding
the sneers aad jibes of little souls, and
through indomitable will, have reached the
top round of the ladder without a blot.
It is amusing to hear the knowing ones
tell how Banker Ambler’s “Logroad" is
cmbling along through the piney woods
DunnelTouward. The “early bird catches
the”—tempting morsel, in this case, the
output of the l-.ar.y Bird mines. Competing
hues bail best bump along the building of
proposed roads, or the old reliable Florida
Central and Peninsular will be toting the
phosphates via the short cut by Archer to
Fernandina.
Meeting with the handsome Capt. Zim
merman, enough news of old frle ds aud
doings in Citrns was gleaned to fill a vol
ume. Tee eou t house questioa, al-hough
settled at Inverness, the new county seat,
seems to be yet the absorbing topic, possibly
only so far as the style of architecture is
concerned. However, the Citrusites got
wind of the “prelimiuary” war between the
JPiantiten on their northward dig, and the
Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf railway oa
it* dig south to—? Those who have nover
enjoyed a dog fight will find it difficult to
appreciate a ••preliminary” battle between
opposing railway surveying corps unless
they have indulged iu the feat of passing
another tram on the samo truck, only that
this battle is carried on by the general
managers directing, each, their army of
coons to toss sand over the other’s prelimi
nary.
Tor the past several years the Silver
Spring, Ocala and Gulf rail
way has industriously ruu ere
liminaries to every homestead from Dun
uellon to Pineallas aud troin tho gulf to the
Withlacoocboe nvor, intending, with its
usual liberality, to comply w ith the request
of each settler for a depot. Now the South
Florida, not satisfied with checkmating the
Florida Southern from Pemberton to Bar
tow, must nuedt take a swish northward to
carry off the phosphates from the road
which has stuck preliminary pegs all ove
the pr -posed air-line of tho South Florida
railroad, aud whioh Gen. Boynton
didn’t see, as he ordered a
Gen. Swope of the company to
bury all opposition, this, iaeludei the Silver
Springs, Ocala and Gulf line, and to w'hish
General Manager A. F. Man, Sr., objected,
by ordering his men :o bury the other’s line.
Thus the tnttle waged for sometime until
the $1 per diem per capita of the coons
brought the parties to an armistice. But
before many weeks pass by the S mth
F.orida (Plant system) will j m tracks with
the Savannah. Florida a id VVsstsro at High

During the recent cold snap several "of

a cold day when the knights of the grip get

the counters (i. e. furniture) were nailed to
the floor, that tbe tioys didn’t shove them

which th y had to stay over ouaday. Jack

make it a valuable adjunct to Ucala, but
simply to interest men of means in a proj

to provejprofltable. 1 bis, Mr. Dean has ac
complished; and it the improvements are

everything else.
George S. Mayo is the man who so faith
fully stood by the Springg Park people
through prosperity, straddling the venture
and holding in the bottom, which some
thoughtless people said "had dropped out.”
Mr. Mayo, his friends say, “Is on top.”
Tms is a happy change from "Mayo’s down

iu the man, and a most estimable aud
patieut wife to appreciate it.
A Btrikmg picture of young America,

a first glance at the teller’s desk one is apt
to think himself entering the Bank of En

this tho merry twinkle of Capt. Wright’s
sparkling eyes goon dispels, as does also the
scene of (young) aotiyity at his back. Bert
Bedding, wbo four years ago entered the
bank of Ocala, is delving into the books.
Then there’s "little” Gene Lan
caster, who, a9 collector, possessed ad
vantages, by bis brilliant hair, overall com
petitors in being readily seen by the man
in-a-hurry-to pay-up. Both young Bed
ding and Lancaster are following in the
footsteps of Florida's youngest and of the
most successful cashiers in the country, R.
B. McConnell, and John F. Dunn, the inau
who never fails to reward merit, honesty
aud truthfulness iu a young man. Young
Bamuel Birdsey has entered the service of
the bank and the happy influence of the
esteemed Capt. Wright.
It is worth a trip to Ocala just to meet
" Yncob” Israel, the manager of the news
depot. Many things can be said about the
enterprising youth aud his worthy father,
which can ouly be appreciated by meeting
them.
SAM AND EVA ARE NOTIFIED
That Editor Carter Desires to Debate
That Sawlou Trip.
From the New York Advertiter.
A (light, quiet-appearing man be was,
but he was loaded with facts. He sat in tbe
oorridor of the Hotel Marlborough, sur
rounded by a phalanx of reporters. He bad
blue eyes, and wore what tried to be a
French beard, but succeeded in being only
a bohemian fringe. He was W. It. Carter,
editor of the Jacksonville (Fla.) Metropolis,
and his theme of conversation was the trip
of "Sam and Eva.”
Mr. Carter is in New York, with a party
of about sixteen people, sight-seeing. Inci
dentally, he waited all day for some of tbe
good people of Mount Olivet chur h, Brook
lyn, to turn up. They diun’t appear. So
Mr. Carter doesn’t believe that the shining
lights are looking for more information
with regard to that little outing ludulged
in by Samuel \V. 'Thornton and Eva Jew
ell.
The young southerner tells of his ex
perience with tbe Tuorutou-Jewell party
after this fashion:
“It nos on the Jacksonville and Atlantio
sleeper that I first saw the couple. I don’t
know why I noticed them especially except
that they indulged in a good deal of billing
and cooing, and I thought them a bridal
oouple. The fact that they were not dressed
like a bride and groom I attributed to tbo
dusty atmosphere.
"I saw the woman baud him a white
bottle. It contained a liquid which looked
uncommonly like whisky. Still it may
have been 00l 1 tea.
“I paid no particular attention to tbe
matter until a dav or two aft-r, when a
morning paper published a thre- c lurnri
account of the sawiog trip. I went to in
vestigate the story, and ihe moment I saw
Eva 1 recognized her as the -voman in the
Pullman oar the day previous. I know
Thornton when I siw him, too, though he
tried to brazen it out. He and the woman
domed bring on tbe car.
"Then 1 sent for Conductor Barr, who had
bees in charge of the sleepor. Before leav
ing the St. John’s hotel, to telephone f-r the
railroad man, Thornton said ho would wi t
for my return. I was gone eight minutes
and met Barr tn the street. When we re
turned ;ke oouple were dressed for traveling
and were about to leave the hotel.
“‘I thought you wore going to await
my return,’ I exclaimed.
“’Well, I’ve changed my mind,’ be an
swered gruffly.
"Barr identified both of the strangers on
sight. Thornton gave the conductor the
lie, aud Barr, who is a high-spirited fellow,
would have fought then aud there but fo:-
the intervention of friends.
"Subsequently when Mr. Juuor, the in
vestigating committee of one, arrived la
Jacksonville, he obtained Mr. Barr’s sworn
statement. My written statement was not
signed or swjrn to. I offered to make it au
affidavit, bu; was told it was not necessary.
I am here now to prove ihe truth of my as
sertions. No cue from tbe Brooklyn church
has bee 1 to see me, and I shall give no more
time aud thought to i he matter.
“i he coast, where tho couple claimed tbe
Spa non captain had lauded them, is a long,
sandy beach sloping down from a blull.
Back of this is a thick brush, through which
a man can scarcely push his way. For a
woman it Is impossible. The couple would
have had to jrurney three miles up the
b ach to Mayport or the same dktanoe
snub, to Pablo, before they could striae in
lanl. Frun Mavnort, this coarse, over
country, would hdie been alon* the bang
of the St. John’s river, aud fro m Pablo
the Pablo creek woo and have to be followed.
Bath streams describe nurnsr us twists ani
turns, aud i either it bridged. The t -tal
distance from the alleged lauding place by
the shortest possible walk is for y-eigbt
miles. Kam and Eva were pedeitria .e
extraordinary, betides being aquatic mar
vels."
Mr. Carter brings letters from the mayor
of Jocks muile, the district attorney, the
president of tbe c unison council, and many
other prominent citizens They wri eln

em E2WJN ARNOLD AFRIVES.
His Interesting Views on Oriental and
Occidental Aft irs.
From th* Few Yo k luc jrder.
Sir Ed'vin Arnold, poet, e-sayist, author,
critic, scholar, lecturer end editor, arrived
on the City of New York Thursday, after a
decidedly unpleasant voyage, and is quar
tered for the present at the Everett h us%
The big ocean liner dropped anenor at quar
antine at 11:30 o’clock Wednesday night,
aud during the last twenty-four hours he
had only ljij hours’ sleep, but in spite of
tnis he welcomed many visitors at the
Everett house during the day without show
ing the slightest sign of fatigue.
Bir Edwiu is remarkably well preserved.
His 07years rest lightly on his shoulders and
hie step is os light and free, his movements
as quick andenergelic as a man of 30. H i
manners are courteous in the extreme, bis
voice is clear aud melodious, his face breaks
into a smile at the slightest provocation,
and there n a charm iu his conversation
and a personal magnetism iu bis voice and
every act that holds one spell bound. Sir
Edwin met the reporters at the Everett
house, and gave them a grip, the re
rnembrauce of which will linger for many
days.
HIS VIEWS OX THEOSOPHY.
Sir Edwin Arnold is one of the students
of the 6opUy who has studied the subject at
the fouutain-bead in India. He said on
this topic: "Theosophy is very hard to de
fine. I have met Mme Blavatsky and CoL
Oloott many times in Ceylon, aud I went
into the cult myself to try and understand
this great question. It would take hours
to explain my views upon theosophy, and
in a general way I may say that my views
are expressed in the "Bongs Celestial,” a
literal translation from the Sanskrit “Bho
gavat Gita.” I took great pains with this
translation, and it is accepted by Buddhists
as accurate. This work gave me an in
sight into this wonderful philosophy, and I
gained further knowledge from the transla
tion of the Indian “Gita Goowda,” cr
"Bongs of Bongs,” and the “Light of Asia.”
hudyard Kipling’s great work.
Sir Edwin Arnold referred to ;tbe excel
lent w rk done by Rudynrd Kipling in
making the world familar with life iu lu
dia and its people. “I cannot help admir
ing Mr. Kipling,” he said, "for the graphic
accuracy of Indian life aud his graceful writ
ing. Some of his writing will be perma
nent, because his characters are living. It
is style that maxes lermane oe iu literature.
He has the magic secret of style.”
Iu spe king of American authors Mr.
Arnold said that he considered James lius
tell Lowell the best judge of literature that
he ever knew.
“Lowell was a wonderful man in many
ways,” he continued, “but I consider Emer
son the greatest man America has pro
duced.”
Sir Edwin touched upon the “Light of
the World,” a work which ho wrote to tell
vhe storv of Christ the same ns was done by
him to pres- ut Buddha in "The Light of
Asia,” and he said that Christianity is ad
vancing every where.
japan’s great progress.
In speaking of Japan where Bir Edwin
Arnold has spent the last few years, he said:
"God lias given the Japanese qualities that
were given to the Greeks. They are anick
to see the excellence of everything, i hey
must not be confounded with the Chinese.
The educated people are highly accom
plished, and bey have statesmen equal to
Blaine and Gladstone. They have made
marvelous progress since tha adoption of
their new constitution twenty-three years
ago, and the civilization of Japan is as higu
as any country oa the globe. Tokio is
lighted by electricity, and every modern
improvement has been adopted f r toe com
fort of the people in the large cities."
THE GRAND OLD MAX.
Turning to English affairs he said that he
had dinner with Mr. Gladstone recently.
The ve eran slatesnia i was as chipper as a
lad, though be was saddened by the death
of his son. “Among ull publio men,” con
tinea Bir Edwin, "1 never saw such a sus
tained intellect as that of Mr. Gladstone.
He eeems to have a knowledge of every
thing. I snoke to Mr. Gladstone about Les
ter Arnold’s, my son’s, book entitled ‘Para
the PDoeniciaii,’ and be immediately in
quired, ‘Are Phoenicians of Semitic origi i V
1 replied that I thought they were, and he
said that ho did not; and In tap ten minutes
that we had to wait before sitting down to
dinner he shower and upon me an amount of
learning upon this question that nearly took
my breath away. elr. Gladstone’s health
is excellent, and it seems as if bo would live
out the century.”
Bir Edwin Arnold refused to discuss
English politic!. When asked what be
thought of Parnell he re died: “He was a
handsome man, and bad the genius of
silence.”
8 r Edwin then drifted into journalism
and said that the Daily Telegraph, of which
he is part owner, was imperialist in policy
and a believer in "Rale Britta-iia,” and it
was, “flr-t ol all, a newspaper.” The Tele
graph would not suit American readers; it
is 100 slow and ponderous. He said that he
had read American newspapers for thirty
years, and admired tbom greatly, but their
style would not suit English ra ders.
Bir Edwin Arnold said that he -as not a
lecturer, but a p el, ani that he would
appear in public here as a reader of tils own
poems.

SAVED BY A HO .Si 1 .
A Fierce Struggle Between Two In
fr.r.tted c te-;d=.
From the Buffalo Fipiett.
"Talk about a dog being a man’s best
friend,” said an old horse trainer to me, "I
•ay the best friend a man has among the
lower animals is a torse. Horses will be
just as affectionate and faithful as dogs if
you use them right, and a blamed sight
more useful. To lie sure they won’t lick
your hands for ki king ’em. They’ve got
more spirit than tnat, and 1 admire them
for It. I had a h rse once that saved my
life, and that’s more than any dog ever did
for me.”
"How di-d it happen?”
"It was tea years ago, when I was a
country horse doctor ad used sometimes to
break ugly colts fi r the farmers. My hor-e
was one Ilmd raised fromn coit, aud she
knew me like one of the family. Her name
as Molhe. SI e was a high strung animal,
if she was genile, and one needed to under
stand her in order to drive her. There was
u farmer living near by had a colt which he
wanted broken, bul the brute was so vicious
that half a doze i men bad failed jjto do
anything with him. I thought I was a
pretty good horseman, so I ooucludod one
day I’d try him. I drove up to the farm and
us I did dt expect to use Mollis again t at
afternooon I turned her loose in the field to
roll. Then I eaught the coit. The farmer
told me he woui‘l lead all right, so I wasn’t
iookiiig fer any trouble till I tried to bit
him. 1 was walking along ahead of him
with the baiter strap In ruy hand when
the devil got into him. Before I noticed
that he was mad he started for me, mouth
open, and began to strike with his front
feet. That’s a trick no horse gets except
from inborn wit,redness. He knocked me
down the first b ow, and then backed off a
few steps and gathered himself together. I
saw he was going to come for me again and
I tried to crawl out < t the way. when all of
a sudden I heard ho fs coming from behind,
and Mollie came up at a full run. Bbe
dashed right at the ugly ca't, and, wheeling
round, gave him both her heels in the
chops. Then she planted herself
between him and me, and
there was the stjbbornest !l,ht you
ever saw for a few minutes. Both horses
screamed likehui-an beings, struck aud bit
at each other and neither would give an
inch. At last Mollie got the colt by the
neck and fairly tore a piece of flesh out of
him. That took the m.rve out of the brute,
and be ran avray. I was too mfteh hurt to
get up alone, and I have always said that if
it hadn’t been for Mollie I’d have bee i
killed, though some fools thought shi’d have
come to fight th- 'range colt just the same
if he hadn’t attacked me. I know better.”
