distinguished visitors. This commit tee was composed of United States Sem ator Stephen R. Mallory, Collector of, the Port John E. stillman. Secretary Jones of the Chamber of Commerce. and William B. Wright and Knowles Hyer. This committee endeavored to have the secretary remain at Pensa- cola over Monday and on that date will be entertained at banquet to be given by the general committee. He will then be shown over the city and otherwise entertained by the citizens.
 Secretary Moody is on an official in- specting tour and his visit to Pensa- cola is calculated to aid greatly the local naval station to procure many needed Improvements, which have been in prospect for a great many months. The committee, having Senator Mall lory as spokesman, will place the need of these Improvements before the head nf the Navy Department in the proper light.
 A guest of the Moody party is Rear Admiral E. T. Endicott. chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks. This of- hcial was much pleased with what he had found here on a former visit, and was especially pleased to find some of his projected plans carried into execu- ton.

She was keeping company with another yt,n youtn,g negro re- an6 dsvs rep4n- nn Taylor left the drug store where he continued absence. He has not been seen for the two days, and the first heard from him was when the affair took place this morning. Seeking out a minister, he went to the house occu- pied by. the girl while she was alone; In the front room lney sat and talked a short time, about the probable union. The preacher left shortly and then the tragedy occurred. No words were heard; the only sound being the three shots.
 The first shot was fired, this pierc- ing the girl. She fell, but arose again, and ran out the back way through a hallway. Taylor pursued and fired a second time. This shot took effect and the girl dropped dead.
 When the negro realized what he had done, he quickly turned the wea- pon upon himself and sent bullet through his body. This is what will cause his death.
 Coroner Landrum viewed the girls remains and gave an order for the in- torment The body was turned over to relatives.

The 1nnK CnrnixaI.

The Mardi Gras celebration for the coming year gives promise of being as large and as beautiful as has been the custom in this city for the past few years.
 Of1cers of the Pensacola association were elected at a special meeting held yesterday afternoon and as has been the custom in the past the best men in the association have been placed in charge. Those elected were: Walker Ingraham, president; John c. Oliver, vice president; Charles w. Merritt, sec retary, and Ed Forcheimer. treasurer.
 The association has been lately in- corporated and now the stock is of- fered at S25 per share. This has beon taken up this year with a swiftness that was somewhat surprising. Last evening fourteen shares had been dis posed of, the Chamber of Commerce subscribing for two shares. The oth- CTS have been taken by business men of the city who reap the benefit of the large number of people coming to the city from the adjoining territory to view for the two carnival days Lme pranks of the loyal subjects of King Priscus.

Walker Not DishOnOred.

Notice of the divesting of the rights as a minister of the gospel of Rev
 Charles F. Walker of Milton, Fla. has been made in the public prints. and there has been some misunderstanding regarding the matter, the general iln- pression being that Rev. Mir. Walker was forcibly divested of his rights. Mir. Walker has felt this publicity in no pleasant manner. and 1t is his wish that the truth be made known. Rev. Mir. Walker petitioned the Florida Presbytery to act as 1t did, and sec ing that the request was well founded the body of Presbyterian ministers did as asked. Covering their action, and giving public notice of same. the Pres bytery authorized the publication of n card, copy of which was as follows:

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful Ii Is
i'm Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
dIsinfectant and purifier in nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better. it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion; it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently ilfe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Absorbent Loz-
enges; they are composed of the finest
powered WILLOW cndFCOdl ana OIner
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas in
stomach and bowels and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; 1 also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but % cents a
box at drug stores. and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet
1 believe 1 get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any Of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
