 Pensacola, Feb. !. One of the biggest sensations that city has experienced in a long time is that which has developed from the discovery that T. Holmes, collector and a bookkeeper for the electric light company. had skipped out, and cash to the amount of about $700 had strangely went with him. While there has been no direct charge that Holmes had taken the money, his arrest has been asked for. and if captured he will be brought back here and be made to face the charge of having taken the money.
 Holmes was regarded as the most trustworthy of men in the employ of the company. Having been in this place but short time he was taken into the employ of the company and given a menial occupation. Rapidly he rose in the confidence of the com pany and was soon placed in the of- flee. His trust went still further, for he was made one of those who knew the combination of the office safe. This enabled him to get all the safe contained, according to the represen- tations of the company, just when 1t suited his fancy.
 Sunday night Holmes is said to have made his way to the office of the com company and filled his pockets with all the cash in sight. The company reports that a lump of s625 was taken. and the further report Is made that a shortage has been found in the ac. counts of the collector. Just how much this will amount to was not given out; in fact the company is not wise to this fact and an investigation has been started. The opinion is that the short age and the theft together will aggrs- gae $1,O00.
 Holmes had a lot of friends in this city. He was one of the best of liu- guists, from having travelled exten- sIvely. This enabled him to deal easi- ly with the metropolitan population of this city. When his friends were made acquainted with the suspicion which was resting upon him. and the charge that his former employers stood ready to make against him in case of cap ture, they were amazed and could not be brought to the point of believing 1t. Later, however. when the facts were placed before them, the sensation only increased.
 The south has been informed very generally of the theft, and the chiefs of police of a number of southern cit- les have been urged to use their best endeavors in Holiness apprehension.

what a bad man her companion was, She even went so far as to place him in the shoes of thief, for she has in- formed the officers that he has stolen at least one watch while in this city. This has been investigated by the au- thorities but there can be nothing made out of 1t. The officers believe that the story is made up for pur- poses of placing Burke further into trouble.
 Burke was quoted as saying that the bad check which was palmed off upon the restaurant man was framed by the woman. and if this can be proven, a charge will possibly be made against ner and she will be prosecuted.
 Altogether the case continues to pre- sent the most interesting of features, and the termination of the same is watched with no small degree of inc terest.

Nearly seventy years ago she was born in Mainx, Germany, and when only 16 years of age came to Mobile She came to this city from New Or leans on a sailing vessel, railroads not having then been in existence in this part of the country.
 Fifty-one years ago tomorrow even- ing, in Mobile, she was joined in mar riage to MT.

last drop Of blood in her body, wha,
was that in comparison with the i'm
measurable boon Of being supported? 2
For all her dreary life Barbary Ann
had little strain Of the aesthetic In
her nature. She loved flowers. So did
her poor mother On the sunny rail
ing Of the porch in front Of the cot
tage she placed some scarlet gera-
NUNS, nasturtiums and trailing ivy in
boxes. The old man did not appar-
emily notice them till they had attain
ed something of splendid brightness
Then one day he deliberately destroyed
every one Of them-quenched the only
glimmer of beauty there was about
that wretched shanty He did it, too,
out Of pure malice. He said he wouldn't
have such trash around his premises.
Barbary Ann and her mother reared
annually a considerable number of
fowls, so that there was little income
from the sale Of eggs and chickens;
likewise was there poultry for the Old
hunks table.
/. One day a neighbor woman wanted a
sitting Of eggs of another strain than
her own. She sent a messenger to Bar
barry Ann with a basket and the money
to pay for the eggs. The women folk
counted out the nice fresh eggs,
handling them carefully that they
might not be injured and rendered use
less for Matching. Just as they had
been deposited In the neighbours basket
Oldhunks came in. He poked his
old nose into the neighbours basket
and demanded to know all about the
transaction. The poor, overslaughed
women told him. Thereupon he laid
his paw upon the neighbor's basket
and gave command:
II want them eggs to take to town.
The strange part Of it is that his
wife. actually did lift the eggs out
and put them away again. giving back
the money to the messenger. Oldhunks
took the eggs to the village and with
the money they brought purchased to-
bacco or other luxuries for himself.
The strange part Of the affair again
Is that the women let him do it. How
any creature In feminine form can be
50 spfritless and so slavelike in this
land of college women is beyond ordi-
nary comprehension In the very
smallest detail, even of those women's
poor calico dresses and sunbonnets,

IKE q Turk Barhary Ann believes she
must submit to it for the sake of Sup
port for herself and son.

Birds With Teeth.

Birds are simply reptiles which have
shed their scales and teeth, grown
wings and feathers and invaded the
dominion Of air. The very oldest bird
Of which science has any record had
very sharp teeth, rather weak wings
and long tail adorned with twenty
pairs Of quill feathers. Some of these
birds were not able to fly at all, and
they nearly all lived on fish. Gradual
ly as they developed through centuries
they grew more feathers, longer and
stronger wings, lost their teeth and got
sharp. hard bills instead. There were
no birds before the reptilian age, and
every bird that flies today traces its
ancestry back to a>sharp toothed snake
So the old joke LAS long ago as when
hens had teeth" is not so much Of a
joke after all
