The News of Pensacola

Pensacola, Fla, April 1o.-(Special.)- J. Alabama people by the hundreds are in Pensacola today. The most of them were here before breakfast and at 6 o'clock this afternoon the first train pull ed out for Montgomery.
 The visitors amused themselves in vari- ous ways today, but the chief source of amusement was visiting the battleships In order that there would be no one leave the place without having had an opportunity of going aboard the ships every excursion steamer in the bay has been under charter for the past several days. and some nice little money was made by the contemplating charterers. Ex- cursions left the dock every fifteen minutes in the afternoon and along the water front were gathered all day pos sibly the largest crowd that has ever been witnessed there and which was made up almost wholly of strangers
 This afternoon there were many who found their way to Palmetto Beach where a team from Mobile and the Pensacola aggregation had a fine game of ball. Transportation for many hundred was furnished by the Pensacola Terminal Company.
 Those who did not feel inclined to at tend either the baseball game or view the SnlpS all tnlS aILeTnOOn ulduc tHCh way to St. Johns cemetery where they witnessed the unveiling of three monu- ments.
 Still others attended the different churches. Many new faces were noticed in the places of worship. and so crowded were the buildings that many could not be accommodated.
 Taking q lesson from the inconvenience of two weeks ago. the local hotel men prepared to receive the strangers and care for them better than vas noticed on tpe occasion of the last visit of large crowd. Better accommodations had been arranged for the Alabamians. and unlike their experience of the fortnight back, they did not have as much trouble tnd- ing places to eat and rest. Some of the hotels sent representatives all the way to Montgomery to talk up the house, and to direct the ladies and gentlemen to the places.
 The railroad company had also profited by the experiences on the occasion of the last excursion. and had provided all the accommodations needed.

\ Immigration from Italy.

2. 7
 Kansas City Journal. t-
 New York is beginning to wonder if Italy isn't nearly depopulated For sev- etal years Italian immigrants have been arriving at that port by the hundreds of thousands, until 1t seems as though there can be but few left in the little country over the seas. Italian immigration has again set in. however. early as it Is in the year. and the prospects are that there will be greater numbers coming from that country during the present year than ever before. Ten thousand have arrived during the last two weeks. and 5000 more are expected any day. Information from abroad Is to the effect that every steamship that Is to sail from Italian ports during the next three months has had every inch of space en- gagged for immigrants, and many thou sands who cannot set passage from Italy will go over to Germany and come on German ships. A good many of these coming in new are those who went over last fan to spend the winter in Italy.

that the crew outstripping all others would hold 1t until conquered. The races were to have taken place here first last year, but a disarrangement of plans in the movements of the vessels stopped all this and the cup was entrusted with the cornmander-in-chief. It is now held on board the Kearsarge, and as the ships are possibly here for two weeks longer, the championship will be settled, and for the present cruise.
 It is conceded almost the champion crews are to be found on board the Texas and Alabama, although the flag ship has men to be proud of. The other two ships are at outs and these will make the most interesting fight for the cup. Both battleships have fine racing boats.
 Admiral Baker will be an interested spectator to these aquatic contests. and he thinks that the action of the Pensa- cola people in donating this boat was ono of the best to cement the ties be- tween naval people and Pensacola, and he has stated that such a recollection would never be forgotten.

Inferior in most things ono might men

He rallied against them; exercised his pen
+ Anonymously In the same contention
He said their vanity was in excess,
Their intellects were weak and vacl-
lating
Quite loudly such opinions he'd expressed.
But that was long before he thought OF
mating.
He quoted all that joixers ever wrote
Concerning woman's love OF silly chat
ter.
He laughed at the idea that they should
vote:
He said they did not want to. for that
He used to say their common sense was
To lengths extreme his criticism he car
And said experience had proved him
right,
But that. of course was long before he
married.
The funny thing about it was that he
Did not believe a word that he was say

He thought the ladies all that they should
be;
His caustic wit he thought he was dis
playing
Still funnier, now that he has been wed
Some time to one who labors for pro-
erosion.
He oft recalls the wicked things he said,
But does not dare to give his thoughts
expression.

When the pale stars die;
Lift thine eyes, my maiden,

Comes for stream and tree.

To the hilltop nigh;
Lo, the dawn IL breaking!
Rosy beams the sky:
Lift thine eyes. my maiden,
Hear thy lovers cry.
Lonely is our valley.
Though the month is May.

The children sat in the fading light
Building their castles with keen delight.
Said fearless Fred, IT mean to be
A sailor brave on the deep blue sea-
Said roguish Phil, with a twinkling eye,
''Ill be soldier by and by
"And I'll be a lawyer said noisy Joe,
"And I'll climb to the judges bench, I
know
Said thoughtful John in timid voice,
ITO preach. think, would be my choice"
But never word said the family pet
AS he sat in the midst Of the noisy set.
"And what will my Charley be?" I said.
He lifted his bonny, curly head
And looked at me with his bright blue
eyes,
"Ill be my mothers boy" he cries.
And pray that as each may take his
place,
On land or sea. in life's great race,
That their loyal hearts may still rejoice,
Though near or far. to be mothers boys.

POLITICAL WAGERS.

Telegrams from New York and other big financial centers state that dem crats are dispirited over Parker since his letter of acceptance was published, and that they are hedg- ing in bet making From the begin ming of the campaign republican money was plenty at odds, but in the past ten days these odds have been stretched still further, and below is given the tone of the political curb in financial avenues over presidential possibilities:
 "Election betting in wall street was much livelier today, with the odds on President E ,Osevelt length ened from 10 to I. At those figures, T. H. Smith offerrd io bet S25,0OO in Sl, GOO lots. Smith r 'e one bet of S2,5O0 to S1 900 with ". A. Titus, who took the Parker cad. The Roosevelt money ou .e big offer was understood to come to smith from a western man.
 Another bet was made on the curb of S2,000 to $500, or at odds of 10 to 4 on Roosevelt. The names of the principals in this bet were not made public.
 From Chicago, the tone of the po- litical wager market is likewise so and wager of two and one-half to one was made and refused, the bettor stating that he was handling Roose- welt money for man who was a member of the stock exchange. He had S20,000 to bet at that odds.
