KENT GIVES UP PLACE.
Hasn't the Time to Devote to Duties
 of Beard of Safety.

Charles Y: Kent has rendered his re- sighatieH t6 Mayer Hlten as a mefh- bef ef the department of public safety and 1t Is probable that his homer will send his successors name te the al- aefmeh fer confirmation Monday night. While it is hiHted that MI Rents re- latieas with his colleagues were sHeh that he didn't care te stand 1t any longer, still he steHtly denies this and States that his eHly reason fer step ping aside was due principally te the holding of meetings of the beard in the afternoon, and besides he is SC sit uated at the present time that he could aet give the office the attention if demands. The matter has been kept pretty quiet. but 1t got around { just the same and as result Mayor Elton is nursing a sore arm from haHdshaking with people who want to step into MT Kent's shoes and other aspirants cannot think of enough good things to say of MT Elten and his ad- ministratien. He is the Moses that will lead us cut of the sewage dispos- al tangle. give every man public park for his own use and equip every mock and corner in the city with troll Hey service, and dear only knows what else, SC that the mayor and his admin dstration are making a lot of political capital cut of this little affair without any striving on their part and un- known to the public. The retiring member is a democrat and according to the city charter his successor must kneel, or pretend to at least at the same polftial shrine. This puts hard shell republicans at 8 great disadvan- tage, but 1t is no barrier to men to preach democracy the year round and vote the other way on election day. consequently the executive has a wide field to choose from and to make things all the better there are hun dreds of good men and true who are very anxious to jump in and take up l the work laid down by MT Kent.
 ! Mayor Elton is pretty level headed fellow and if left to himself would be very apt to give more attention to merit than political pull in selecting a man to i'll the vacancy on this import ant municipal board, but great as John P. Elton is he is by no means above his party, and besides he is too much of a republican to think of making 8 move towards appointing a lieutenant without the approval of his council of war, so that 1t is safe to presume that MT Rents mantle will not fall upon the shoulders of any democrat who would be apt to kick against star chamber sessions or other seances such as the rest of the board might decide to conduct in the town.

Monday, February P, the Grand Lodge of MasonS of Florida held a special communication at Crescent City, and in ancient form the corner stone of a new school and auditorium which MT Guilbert is to build for the town was laid. The Crescent City News of February 26 contains full account of the ceremony, and besides another article which we give herewith:
 The world contains many noble hearted, God fearing and generous men upon whom fortune has smiled; men who have gained great wealth through industrial effort and in the gaining process have not become calloused in the great body of mankind on whom the tickle goddess has been less gracious. Not every little town con- tains such a man. But it is fortunate for Crescent City that we have one here in the person of Hon Edwin Gilbert. MT Gilbert came to Crescent City some 23 years ago. He was at tracted to this place as hundreds of northern men and women have been since. He liked the town and the people, acquired property and built a winter home and has been coming here ever since. MT Gilbert has never lost faith in the future of the place. He loves it and has long wanted to do some special meetings in the Presby terian church conducted by Rev l.. s. Chafer, of jNorthfeld, Mass, MT Gilbert con- ceived the idea of establishing in Crescent City Bible conference pat. termed after the celebrated Moody Bible conference at Northfeld, Mass In this he received encouragement from MT Chafer and others. In the summer MT and Mrs Gilbert visited NOrthfeld and the great institution l there impressed him with new zeal. The result is the spacious building he is now erecting on the half block do hated the enterprise by COe D.. Smith, another winter visitor. This is to be known as "SOuthfeld." Be. fore beginning work MT Gilbert con. cluded that the building would only | be used few weeks in each year fol | the Bible conference, and that the place needed a better public school.
 The building now in process of con
 struction will therefore be a combina- tion school and auditorium. But MI Gilbert has another ambition. The like. He therefore desires to secure the other half of the block and wants the city to turn the South park over to him and the streets bounding this property on the north and south from Prospect street to the lake. If this is done he proposes to peautify it. It is also part of his plan to endow the school so that it can be maintained as first class Christian institution O1 learning for the boys and girls of thi. | place and surrounding country.

My liver was torpid, and often had to be carried to the door for air to- save me from SuffOcat-

Once they thought could not live for more than two days. When my husband was telephoning for the doctor to come, in one of my worst at tacks, friend said: Why don't you try pr Williams Pink Pills; they are the only thing that has ever cured my rheumatiSm?'
