surmounting the corners. left here by the English in 17s1.
 At the sead of Palafox street are the ruins of the old fertilization built by the English in 1772, on Gage Hill, and named for the King, Fort Gorge. Here stands the shaft to the Confederate dead This was formerly well equipped for defense and for number of years was the off cial headquarters of the British and the repository for the archives of the prov ince. In 17S1 this fort was attacked by the Spanish fleet. and during the bonn bardment a secret powder magazine To- eated in one corner of the Notifications was exploded and killed so large a num- Der of the English soldiery that they were obliged to surrender. At the same time the Spaniards threw up another battery of earthworks not far north of St. George, which they named Fort San Bernardo, a crude form of which still remains The name of Fort George was changed after it's surrender to Fort San Miguel and the Spanish forces remained in possession of Pensacola. from 17S1 until 1874, when the forces of King George again recovered their lost ground, only to evacuate again in the same year when General Jackson marched upon the scene
 Palafox street was named in honor of the Spanish General Palafox, whose il- . lustrious defense of Spain against the armies of the Corscan endeared him to Spanish hearts. In fact, the colonists at Pensacola were wrought to such pitch of enthusiastic patriotism that they named many a village street for some proud Castilian hero.
 One of the most interesting houses ey- tant in Pensacola is the Panton Place. the site of the home of William Panton, the first merchant prince" of America. This was the first English trading post of the south and was built of brick im ported from Jamaica in 1766 by the Lon the trading post of the Indians for west ern Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Ten nessee and western Georgia There were two branch houses, one at St. Augustine and one at Havana, besides the London office One of the traditions in Pensa- cola is that rich treasures were snug gled in and out of the Panton place, and the remains of a secret tunnel are ex- hibited today-a tunnel that led out into the bay under the sea And then the grave of McGillivray is pointed out in definitely in the weeds of the old gar den. Alexander McGlivray, the half breed Creek Indian chief, who served as colonel in the armies of the Spanish, English and American governments, and finally committed suicide for love of Spanish girl, fell on his sword in the old Panton garden.

LIVES FULL OF HARDSHIP.
Unceasing Toil and Suffering the Fate of Middle Class Chinese Women.

Special Correspondence of The Washing
 ton Post.
 New York April.--Dr. Charles K. Roys. a missionary at Wei Hsien, China. in a letter just received by the Presby- terian board of foreign missions. throws some light on the condition of the mid dle class women of China. He says
 We have been enjoying a Chinese sew ing woman for a couple of weeks. and l have been much impressed with the cheer fitness and force of character shown by these poor creatures. condemned to hob be through life on feet not much larger than sheep's hoof This woman can go up stairs only with great difficulty; she can't run foot power sewing machine without pain, so our little hand machine is boon to her. Although carrying any burden is very painful. in their own homes women have to carry a heavy child around with them while they do their house work, buttoning the child into the front Of their clothing to keep it warm through the winter. Yet many of the women have cheerful faces and kindly. smiling eyes very much like an old southern nanny who has seen much troubles vet remains cheerful and con tent This is especially true of the Christian Chinese women, so much so that their neghbors say some magic changes their faces
 To-day I passed some women washing clothes in a little stream in native fash ion. where they crouch for hours in the bitter cold. sousing the clothes back and forth in the water-no soap and no wash board-lueky if they have a mat or a stone to sit on. Another heavy task in the fall season Is the making of wadded garments for the whole family, It is no easy matter when added to all that a woman is expected to do. A woman near us tried to commit suicide last fall be- cause she was asked to make her hus- bands uncle's winter clothes. These wadded garments are ungainly looking. but are said to be very comfortable by missionaries who wear them. They are made of two layers of muslin dyed blue or black, with a layer of cotton batting

It Is a solid. heavy frame. two stories and an attic. steep roofed and many windowed, standing back se- renelv in it's garden there on old Inten- dencia street, next door to the home of the "Intendente" another house almost as old as the Moreno residence, but not gifted with a garden. There are many Spanish families. descendants of the first settlers, living today in Pensacola.
 There are Ponces, De Sotos, Gonzalez. YniestraS. many more. The name or Moreno is known throughout Florida and all our French and Spanish south. General Francesca Moreno, coming from one of the first families of Spain, his father and grandfather both known to Pensacola was consul to Mexico for forty years. He died some twenty years ago. but his widow and family still live in the comfortable old house on Inten- dencia street. the very place where. alone during the invasion of the north every other house and street of Pensa- cola was deserted by the flying popula- tion; only the Morenos held their ground Mrs. Moreno, charming still for all her eighty years, carries every tradition and legend of the place close locked in mem ory She was born on Santa Rosa-and so namedi-in the grim fortification her father, engineer-n-chief constructed.

But they made no settlement Neither did the fleet of Ferdinand De Soto which anchored here. in 1540. The first settlement was made in 1559 six years before the founding of St. Augustine. Two thousand people, under the leadership of De Luna, then came together here and broke first ground at Fort Barrancas-that means in Spanish broken ground De Luna named the bay Santa Maria.
