poLlock-srEpHENs RECEPTION.

Yesterday afternoon from until o'clock Mrs. Elford and Miss Hannum, the principals of the Polloek-Stephens ln- stitute. gave a very pretty reception to the school in honor of the graduating class. The principals were assisted in receiving by the faculty and the junior and sub-junior classes. The gymnasium and adjoining rooms were decorated with green and white. the colors of the class of 1905. Here and there life-giving touches of red, the Pollock-Stephens color were added Neat little dance orders in green and white suggested the most popular form of entertainment. In the library and reception rooms games were played by those who did not care to dance.
 Quite in keeping with the color scheme of the occasion were the refreshments of ices and cakes.
 Each member of the senior class, in whose honor this first annual reception was given, received as a favor a photo graph of the school building.

WILL REPAIR
BRENT ROAD
CITY AUTHORITIES FIND THOR
oueHFRRE IN BADLY NEGLECT.
ED CONDITION ARD MUCH IN
NEED OF REPAIRS.

The Brent road, which for years,
was the best and in fact, the only
thoroughfare leading out of the city.
Is to be repaired at sonce by the Board
of Public works. This has been de-
cided upon by the board after hearing
the report of the committee recently
appointed to look into the condition
of he road. These repairs, however
will extend only to the city limits AMI
il will be up to the county to do The
remainder of the work.
Recently numerous parties who
have occasion to pass over the road
stated that it was in a very bad con-
Gition and unless some work was done
Immediately to stop the washing the
road would shortly become impossible.
This w2s brought to the attention OF
the Board Of Works, with the result
that C sirman Turner and Mayor
Bliss were appointed as committee
to make an inspection and ascertain
what was needed.
The committee reported at The last
meeting of the board stating that the
road was in a very bad condition,
having evidently been neglected for
months, and recommended that the
WORK Of making the repairs commence
at once, as the thoroughfare was be-
coming worse each DAY.
The recommendation of The commit
&c was adopted and the street super

repairs as soon as possible

WANTS THIS CITY
IN BASEBALL
LEAGUE
Pensacola Has Opportunity of Be-
coming Member of the Cot
ton States League on
August First.

The lovers of baseball, and especial
ly those who have in the past made
kicks about Pensacola not becoming
a member of some league. now have
an opportunity of showing if they de-
sire league ball in Pensacola. II they
do they can assist the movement, and
IL sufficient capital can be raised the
franchise now held by Hattiesburg,
Miss. in the Cotton States League
will be transferred to this city.
President Griggs of the Mobile club,
which has just been admitted to the
league, was in the city yesterday, com
ing here for the purpose OF interest
ing the local fans in the movement
and seeing if PensacOlians would not
put up enough to warrant taking the
franchise and entire team from Hat
tiesburg. He conferred with a num-
Der of those who had formerly been
prominent in baseball circles, and also
with President Northup, but so far no
definite arrangement has been made.
The Terminal Company, so it is stated,
does not care to again invest in
league clubs, and number OF others
who subscribed several years ago are
somewhat cold on the proposition.
However, others are very enthusi-
astic and are working hard in an ef-
fort to get the team and franchise, as
the Cotton States League is playing
fast ball and drawing big crowds in
other cities.
If the movers in this matter are
successful the team and franchise will
be transferred here during the latter
part of this month or first of August

Making Matter. Worse.

The English papers tell quaint sto-
ry Of Lord Leighton, the painter. Two
women were looking at his picture Of
Helen Of Troy" 1T is a horrid pic
ture," one remarked to the painter.
I'm sorry, but it's mine." said Sir
Frederick, as he then was. "Oh,' said
the woman, you don't mean to say
you've bought it?'' mo; 1 painted It,"
was the reply. "Oh." declared the wo-
men, you must not mind what we say.
We are only saying what everybody
else saws"

A Deadly Spider.

Papua is the home of a small spider
the body of which is about the size of
a pea. 1t is black in color, with a
brilliant red spot in the center of the
back. 1t is frequently to be found
making its nest in old packing cases
which have lain neglected for some
time. Unless molested it will not at
tack. The bite is very small, al
though fatal in inverse proportion.
The chief effect of the virus is that it
paralyzes the intestines of the patient
and contracts them into knots.

FOOD PERSONALITIES.
a Comparison Between SaIicyIic
Acid and Sugar or Salt.

a Comparison Between SaIicyIic
Acid and Sugar or Salt.
All of the most common food pre-
servatives are constituents of the food
we eat. Nature herself has put them
Into our food. We have been consum
ing them since time began. Our say,
age ancestors consumed them for mil
lenniums before us.
Two grains of salIcylic acid will pre-.
serve pound of food for reasonable
length Of time. A grain is the amount
most commonly used. In order to
preserve the same amount of food with
equal safety one pound Of sugar would
be required. In fifteen pounds of we'll
preserved food there would be thirty
grains of salicylic acid. 1t is q very
common thing for physicians to admin
lister to their patients thirty grains at
a dose and keep up the administration
for many days with benefit to the pa
tent. Fifteen pounds of food preserv.
ed to an equal extent by sugar would
require fifteen pounds Of sugar. How
long does The reader suppose that any
person could retain good health if they
undertook to eat fifteen pounds Of
sugar at single sitting and keep TAX
ing such doses for weeks at time?
AS a grain of salicylic acid will pre-
serve more food with equal certainty
than an ounce of salt and as fifteen
grains Of salicylic acid would equal in
preserving power over pound Of salt.
who would hesitate in choosing the
alternative doses of thirty grains Of
salicyclic acid or Of two pounds Of
table salt? One pound Of salt is IA.

Narrow Escapes.

Nevis and lived TO tell the tale. Ad-

shot through at Lucknow and returned
as dead, but came up smiling soon
afterward. Similar was Lord WolSe-

an eye, he was able soon after to en-
joy laugh over his own obituary.

SPIDER SILK.
The Way the Thread Is Taken From
the Imprisoned Insect.

The Way the Thread Is Taken From
the Imprisoned Insect.
The American consul at Tamatave,
Madagascar, sends an interesting re-
port on the manufacture of silk from
spiders web.
The first difficulty in securing the
thread direct from the Madagascar
spider Chalabe," big spider, the ma
tives call herr was met with In devils
ing a suitable holder to secure the liv-
ing spider while winding off the web.
This was originally performed by con-
filming the spiders in empty match
boxes with their abdomens protruding,
thus making so many living reels. The
extraction of the web does not APP
parently inconvenience the insects, al
though care has to be taken not to in
jure them. From that stage has been
evolved a frame of twenty-four small
guillotines, in each of which a spider
is secured in such a manner that on
one side protrudes the abdomen, while
on the other the head, thorax and legs
are free. The precaution of keeping
the legs out of the way is necessary,
because the spiders, when their secre-
ton is spun off in this fashion, are
liable to break off the web with their
legs.
The spider submits without resist
ance to the widing of of its thread.
After the laying period or formation
O. the web it can be reeled off five or
six times in the course of a month,
after which the spider dies, having
yielded about 1000 yards. Native girls
do the work.

A WonderfuI Voice.

Lablache had the most magnificent
bass voice ever known to the lyric
stage. 1t had compass Of two oc-
taves, from E fat below to Z fat
above the bass staff. He was a man
of prodigious size and strength. and
his voice was proportional to his phys
ical dimensions. Nothing was able to
overcome or drown it, and through the
tones of the largest chorus it doomed
out as Justify as though alone. More
than once he broke a window pane by
