Paul Gilmore and bis company ap-
pearei in Captain Debonnaire" at the
opera house last night The audi
ence was a large and representative
one, and most of those who went to
see the performance cared but little
for the play-it was Mr. Gilmore that
they went TO see.
The play opens with very pretty
scene Of the times of 1860, with the
costumes of that period and unique
scenery and stage furniture. All this
was very pretty, but all eyes were
eager TO catch the first glance of the
star-Gilmore. He was accorded the
usual welcome. which he mOdestly ac-
cepted with a slight nod of the head.
The first and second act Of Cap
tain Debonnaire' drag rather heavily.
Not that they are dun. but because,
possibly they are lacking in material
incidents.
The third and fourth acts were much
better and showed Mr.. Gilmore to adj
vantage. No fault can be found with
the performance, except that the play
Is not strong enough for Mr.. Gil
more
After the third act he was given a
number Of curtain calls, and finally
spoke to the audience, thanking them
for their applause and appreciation.

PROGRESS ON THE
EAST COAST CANAL
SEVEN MONTHS MORE NECES
SARY TO FINISH THE WATER
DAY.

The Daytona Daily News says
Operations by the Coast Line Canal
and Transportation Company will be
set back for two weeks, owing to the
fact that a few nights ago the dam
on the upper Matanzas river, in the
rear Of the dredge Wfmbee, gave way,
causing a fall of the earth for nearly
a quarter of a mile The dTedge will
now have TO turn back anil throw this
embankment up before the work can
again proceed on this section of the
canal.
The dredge. Wimbee, during the
past month cut through more than half
a mile. while the month previous
about the same amount Of work was
accomplished. This dredge has al
ready encountered the hardest part
which consists Of rock. Now it is ex-
pected, after the dam is finished, the
balance Of the work win be easy.
There is something over three miles
more to be cut, before che canal will
be complete 1t viii be Al least six
or seven months before the waterway
viii be finished
II is the intention of the canal own
ers eventually to have an open water
way from Biscayne Bay to the ST..
Johns river, a distance of more than
$40 miles. The Management has been
at work on the stupendous undertake
ing for about ten years. During this
time many obstacles have been en-
countered. and the cost OF the work

ands
Growers in the southern section Of
the state who are not altogether
pleased with the freight rates on the
railroads, propose to take advantage
of the canal in the event they find it
will be to their advantage. 1t is quite
probable that fruits andvegetables that
are not very perishable wilI>be sent up
the new canal in steamers and connect
at Jacksonville with the Clyde Steam
ship Company, from there shipments
will be forwarded to eastern markets.

long, loose joiDted Bfissourian ambled
IN one sight and butted into the poker
game. There were two or three card
sharps at the table, and every citizen
carried his shooting iron. This long
Aissourian looked rather easy, but be

proprietor of the hotel, became inter.

moments he saw the MissOurian turn a
trick that was not strictly according
to Hoyle, and he called the Missourian
outside.
Now, see here, said Chase, I want
to warn you. You'd better be pretty
careful. Those fellows are all profess

O.E.STILLMAN
RE-APP0INTED
COLLECTOR
Name Sent to the Senate by the
President Yesterday and Will
Soon Be Acted Upon.

Advices were received in Pensacola
yesterday to the effect that the name
of Hon. JnO. E. Stillman, the present
Collector Of the Port, has been sub

Roosevelt for confirmation to succeed
himself
Mr.. Sullman was first appointed to

four years later at the expiration of
his first term When he received the

coming to this city Mr.. Stillman has

be known as one of Pensacola's most
substantial and enterprising citizens.
He is at present president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and vice pres
ident and general manager of The
Pensacola Investment Company, be-
sides being interested in numerous
other enterprises.
Owing to split in local republican
ranks. caused by a number of boilers
who were not satisfied with the exist
ing condition of things, the impress
sion got abroad that there was some
doubt of Mr. Stillman's re-aRpoint-
ment, but since his endorsement by the
State Republican Committee his ap-
pOinment was a fOregone conclusion.
The many friends of Mr. Stillman
in this city and throughout the state
will be pleased to hear of his reap
pOintment to a position which he has
filled so acceptable for the past eight
wears

CARELESSNESS CAUSES
STREET CAR ACCIDENT
Indignant Motorman Says Pedestrians
Do Not Take Due Precautions
When Crossing Tracks

"Los Angeles does not need any law
providing for a better electric air brake
equipment" said a motorman of Pa
cific electric car yesterday. "What there
should be, if possible" he continued as
his car came within a few inches OF
striking a citizen gazing at space in
an opposite direction, sis an ordinance
requiring people to look in both direc-
tions before they venture to cross a
car track.
"The larger number of people who
throng the streets daily, 1 find by OBJ
servation, depend too much upon their
hearing to warn them of the approach
of car. If every one would follow
the simple rule of never crossing the
street car tracks until his eyes have
assured him of the safety of so do
ing, the number of accidents due to
street cars during the coming year
would not be one-fourth as large as
it was during 1904.
"A law such as proposed by Los
Angeles lawyer will not lower the ac-
cident list in the least in the city of

Perfect air brake yet invented.
"a law to compel Los Angeles cleo
trio railways to use the most improved
airbrake would not affect the situation.
The cars are already equipped with the
best there is. 1t has paid the COM
panies to do this because it has saved
accidents. Los Angeles electric cars
run faster than those of any other
city in the country, and with swiftness
has come the necessity of having the
quickest possible method of bringing
the cars to a sudden stop.
"If motorman could stop his car
within a dozen feet when running at
full speed, there would still be acci-
dents for people would continue to
incorrectly estimate the speed, depend
upon the ability of the motorman to
stop his car suddenly, and then he run
down as others have been in the past"

Drinking Forbidden


To-day there is hardly a railroad
corporation or steamship company that
will employ a man who drinks on duty,
and some of them will not employ 81
man who drinks at all. Some of the
greatest Industrial institutions will not
tolerate drinking at all whether on or
off duty. The business man of today
wants the best brains he can get. He
does not want the drunken lawyer; he
will not have the drunken doctor. The
bank clerk, the mercantile, the indus
trial or confidential clerk who drinks
and patronizes the saloon soon finds
that he is out of job and the sober,
Industrious man has his position.
