churches. and will consist of perhaps two
short ten minute addresses, with prayer
and song. The services this afternoon
Will be conducted by Rev. J. F. Dripps, ID.

Vass, d. d.

the churches are expected to hold a ser
vice in their own edifces every night dur
ing the week, with the exception perhaps
of Saturday night. These services will be-
gin at Sis o'clock in the evening and Will,
continue an hour. Some of the pastors
will be assisted in these services by others
Of the same denomination. For the hrst
three or four nights services at Wesley
Monumental this week, the pastor. Rev.
A. NJ. Williams, will be assisted by Rev.

sent him to ST. Josephs Infirmary His
wound was not serious, however and he
was able to leave the hospital later in the
day.

a deputy sheriff at Pensacola day or two
ago, saying that he had arrested an Ital-

such case here and there was no record
on the books to show that any such party
was wanted here He made inquiries of
Chief Fireman Puder and others, but no
one knew Of an Italian or any other party

HIS FOOT CRUSHED.

The Police and Firemen,s Uniforms

~
There has been some talk as to the
difference in the cost of the police and
firemen's uniforms. The contracts for
which have just been given out. The diff
ference in the contract price led to the
rumor that the firemen's uniforms having
cost more, are of better material. Mr.
Levy, of b. H. Levy & Bro, who have the
contract for furnishing the uniforms, said
yesterday that this is an error. The ma
terial in the two uniforms is practically
the same. The reason the firemen's uni
forms cost more than the police uniforms
is that there are more to them While
the police uniform consists of coat and
pantaloons, the fremen's uniform con-
sits Of coat, pantaloons two flannel shirts
and cap. The trimming on the uniforms
of the chief and assistant chief of the
fire department costs also considerably
more than that on the uniforms Of the
police officers.

DEATH WITHOUT A WARNING.

Wife's side.
York Coles, colored, died suddenly at
his home on Orange street night before
last. Coles had been in bed only a short
while, when his wife noticed that he
was breathing very hard. She tried to
arouse him, and failing to do so, sent for
a doctor, but her husband was dead be-
fore the physician arrived. Coroner
Goette was notified and made an investi-
ton. He did not consider it necessary
to hold an inquest, as it was evident that

A SHED FALLS IN.

Balloon Ascension.

Balloon Ascension.
Prof Zeno and his dog went up in a
balloon at Thunderbolt yesterday after
noon in the presence of quite a crowd of
spectators. The atmosphere was rather
hazy and the balloonist was for a time
lost to sight. He and his dog came down
all right with the parachute, however
with the exception that the dog was lodged
in a tree.
A shed just in the rear of Buffers place
fell in while all this was going on, and
spilled about twenty-five or thirty people
who had crowded on it, onto the ground
They were intent on the balloon, when
the shed gave way. Some of them were
slightly bruised, but with the exceptions
of little boy named Gardner, who had his
leg mashed, none were badly hurt.

A Scientific Investigation of Grief.

We are all familiar with cases where
travel, amusements and constant rush
ing about from place to place have
been recommended as curative agents
for people who have sustained great
shocks, or have had cause for deep
and heartfelt sorrow. Medical science
has demonstrated that violent and de-
pressing emotions cause many serious
physical ills and that 1t Is almost I'M
possible to restore health until the
causes are removed. Wild creatures
that have mourned themselves to death
held in captivity have been carefully
examined. Although their food was
sufficient and Of proper quality, and
enough was consumed to sustain life
under ordinary circumstances, the tis-
sues were found to be in an unnatural
condition, and all Of the organs had
undergone degeneration similar to that
brought about by ordinarily infectious
diseases. Grief generates poison IN
the system, and should be treated like
many Of the other ills Of life brought
about through poisonous infections.
The relations between mind and body
are much closer IN some persons than
in others. This state Of things Is not
by any means confined to the higher
orders Of life, as death from grief or
loneliness or captivity is not uncom-
mon among creatures Of all grades. 1t
is supposed that the sudden and ylo-
lent depression Of spirits causes chem
ical changes that develop toxic atoms
of great virulence, sufficient, indeed, to
change the character Of the tissues
and cause degeneration IN the blood
and brain and spinal cord. 1t Is be-
lieved by some excellent authorities
that what is known as soiteuing Of the
brain may originate in longing for
something that the patient ls unable
to secure. Science has wrought many
changes that are little short Of mirac-
ulous, but in no particular has 1t done
better work than when 1t proves
that baifled ambition, disappointment
and sorrow are real causes Of physical
Ills In olden times, nervousness and
sorrow were things to be punished.
Thank goodness we have lived past
that perod.-New York Ledyer.

BEFORE SLEEPING.

Now is the dead of night, and / must sleep;
But first, my soul, il thou dost aught recall
Wherein thou hast done i'll, bid thee weep,
And pray Gods tender mercy on thee fall;
Purge thyself clean OF whatso bitter hate
Thou hast for them that wrong thee; sink
thy pride,
Nor deem thou standest in higher state
Than those whom God thy happier chance
denied.
Be all for heaven; think life draws near the
close;
Give TO repentance thy last conscious
breath
For more and more this mortal weakness
grows
That pledges thee to take the form OF death
And sleep awhile. What If in dreams the
door
or life should shut, and thou return no
more?

Keep on Kicking.

Once upon a time two frogs that
had been living in comfort and ease
in a cool pool Of water were accident
ally scooped up by milkman IN
bucket Of water, which he poured into
his can in order to give his milk more
body and thereby increase ms revenue.
The frogs were astonished to find
themselves in an unknown element, in
which it was not possible to support
life. and they had to kick vigorously
in order to keep their heads above the
milk. One Of them, being disheart-
ened by being shut up in the dark in
an element entirely knew to bin, s4id {:
Lets give it up and go to the bot
tom It's no use kicking any longer.
The other said "Oh, no Let's keep
kicking as long as We can, and see
what the outcome viii be. Maybe
things will change presently" So one
frog gave it up and went to the bot
tom. The other kept kicking, and
when the milkman got to town and
opened his can, behold the frog had
kicked out a lump Of butter large
enough to float him, and he was sitting
on il comfortably. Moral: Keep
kicking for the development and ad-
yancement Of your town.
