ltaurants and Pullman coaches take the place of the soul until the great Beck oning-and perhaps they do then. The Elder Graham wore his most sanctimonious look--which was most terrible and awe-inspiring. He held a parchment in his hand. He addressed his son:
 T have just made my will, Walker Graham. I will tear 1t up and make a new one. or file this one in half an hour"
 Walker nodded, and took a tall Ieath- CT chair opposite the flat mahogany desk of his father.
 'In this will I. have cut you off with an even dollar" went on the Elder Gra- ham. T have also provided that your income cease now, never to be contfn- ued. and instead of the s10,00O d year, you will not have 10 cents. i will tear this up and let the old one stand, kiv- ing you half my fortune, and shall dou- ble your income If you will give up that woman"
 The young man was silent. What gre you going to do?" in quirea Graham Pater.
 T am going to marry Belle Dumont next week"
 If the Elder Graham had softened;
 if he had shown one sign of affection or of sympathy. But he never had, so
 he could not begin then.

 unfortunate. She had no father to pro tect her." was what the son answered. Still the Elder Graham showed no l sympathy.
 You're fool" he said again. No wont take your answer now. I'll give you five minutes" He turned to the private secretary, and began to dictate some letters of no importance, holding his watch in his
 hand to note when the five minutes
 were up At length he raised his head.

PENSACOLA GRAND JURY
 ROASTS THE OFFICIALS

disgrace to a civilized community. .r Judge Landrum has been accredited with being a. very careful young ofii- cial, and the jury's reference to hin, was as surprising to himself at 1t was to tho general public.
 The City Council was urged to con- duct the investigation into the water company's operations. There has hSen a half-hearted attempt to do this," the report continues.
 Four very young boys were found at the convict camps. and a rub was hand ed out to the judge who sent them there. the report saying that the coun- ty or State were neither benefited by this action. It was recommended that hereafter all prisoners under the age of 16 years should be sent to the re- formatory and there let the time be served out. ~
 One of the most severe roasts in the paper was that handed out to the Board of County Commissioners fol having Dr. s. M. Gonzalez in theil employ as . special County Physician The jury recommended and insisted that the doctor be discharged, "and in his stead the board employ a sober industrious and more competent man . This Is calculated to mean that the present physician is not only incom- potent, but is at times incapable oi performing the duties which are re- quired of him. t
 The School Board of the county is urged to pay the teachers more prompt- ly and at the end of the month if pos sfble. This should be done, the jury insisted. even if the money to pay of the indebtedness must be borrowed.
 Omcers were scored for the prevail ence of many club rooms in the city, the purpose of which was nothing else than to allow gambling under club charter. It is the opinion of the jury and the public shares the opinion, that young men of this city are being led to ruin by the open existence of these club rooms, and the oficials are called upon to do their duty in the premises and suppress all such nuisances and dens of vice.
 The selling of cigarettes to minors Is also condemned. There Is a law pre- venting the sale of cigarettes to per- sons under age, and this is as stringent in it's purposes as the preventing of the sale of whiskey to young people.
 Altogether the presentment is one of the strongest that has ever been rend- cred in this county and to the end of results. 1t is thought that there will be something following the report that will be not little interesting.

Sheriff and Marshal Arc
 Blamed.
Tn Final Report, Foreman Indicates That Gambling is Wide Open and Conv1cts of County
 gre MaltreateA.

Pensacola, Fla, Dec. 1S.--(Special.) J.
 One of the most able presentments that
 has ever been rendered by $ grand jury l in this county was that of Saturday afternoon when the twelve-days' ses- sion of the body working in connection | with the present term of the Circuit Court filed into the court room and pre- sented the final paper in detail
 As stated. the presentment deals out a number of roasts, the Sheriff. City
 Marshal, City. Council and County Commissioners having been called to
 task for various matters which. in the
 opinion of the grand jury. were not done according to law. The Sheriff and Marshal are especially severely dealt with in the matter of gambling. which has been going on in this city for the past few months, and which, the jury characterizes, Is almost done openly. The jury states that. in ad- dition to the officers who are to blame, the renters of property are equally to be blamed, since the law provides a punishment for those who rent their property for the purposes of conduct ing a gambling house.
 The jury further found, upon a visit to the convict camp west of the city, that some of the convicts confined there had been whipped with a leather thong. and that it was the understanding that this had been the practice for long time at the camp. A roast was hand ed out to the lessees and the attention of the State authorities was called to this condition of things and the proper authorities were requested to conduct an investigation, and stop such shame full practices.
 Another roast was handed out to the Justice of the Peace of this city dis trict. This is Hon. Jas. R. Landrum, and he is a very popular young man. With all his popularity. however, his books were characterized as being in an extremely indecent condition and
