BLISS'S BIG MAJORITY
WINS SIGNAL VICTORY IN RACE AT
 PENSACOLA.
Received 42S Votes More Than His Closest Opponent-The Hard Feel ing Engendered Is Rapidly
 Disappearing.

Pensacola, Fla, June 7.-(SpeciaL)- one Of the worst defeats ever suffered by mayoralty candidate was that Of c. l.. Shine, who was defeated by c. H. Bliss in yesterdays election. The vote of Bliss was 1.229 while that of shine was sol. This gave Bliss majority of 42S. or the largest ever gotten by mayoralty candidate.
 The election was not known definite ly as to results until past II o'clock last night. The heaviest vote known was boiled and 1t occupied many hours to count 1t. This resulted, to make a long story short, as follows:
 For Mayor--C. H. Bliss. 1929; Rix. NJ. Robinson. 6S; c. L. Shine, S01; c. H. Wells, 17.
 Fer Marshal-C. Fred schad, 1857; Frank Wilde, 732.
 For Tax CoIlector--N. Mex. Oerting, S32: John C. Whiting. 1,125.
 For Treasurer--William Daley. 1,142 Jospeh I. Johnson. 519; Mansfield More no. 110; James Stearns. 159.
 For Chief Fire Department-W. R. Bicker. I2s; John Baker. 7lo; James C. Clarke. 103: J. George White. 507.
 For Alderman. Precinct 12-Charles H. Gingles, 1,132; William L. Mover, 735.
 For Alderman, Precinct 11--A Green hut, GA; William Hays. 1,163.
 For Alderman. Precinct 12.-A. s. Cox, 1s9: A. H. D'Alemberte, 405.
 For Alderman, Precinct 13-o. M Pryor, 93; P. K. Yonge, 309.
 For Alderman, Precinct 14-James McHugh, 19o; Alex Zelius, 12s
 For Alderman, Precinct 1o-T. $. Caro-, 226; w. B. Wright, 339.
 Possibly the biggest surprise was forthcoming this noon when the can wasting board met at the office of the chairman of the committee and made d canvass of the vote. The above is the result. The vote for fire chief was probably the only one in which the primary ticket did not figure. since the office was made an elective one after the primary had been held. But in every case, and with not a single cxcep- tion, the entire primary ticket was swept into office by majorities never known in this city before. This is also especially true In the case of the tax collectorship, when MT. Oerting was defeated. Oerting was an office holder for the past sixteen years and his defeat was one of the most surpris- ing of features.
 The defeated officers will be busted from their respective positions at noon tomorrow. A special meeting of the Councill will transact any business that remains not disposed of. Mayor Welles will then turn over the gavel to his successor and will step down and, ac- cording to him, forever out of political life. He has been recognized as a power in politics for the past ten years in this city and county, and this Is the first defeat he has ever suffered, since he had advocated the election of MT Shine, and had taken the stump fol the young man.
 While there are naturally very hard feelings engendered by the defeat, stil this will all pass away in a few days and all of the papers are advising the wiping out of past differences and harc work for the upbuilding of Pensacola

London's First Omnibus.

The first London omnibus was really
much more gorgeous than its successor
Of today. 1t was an imposing vehicle,
beautifully decorated and painted,
with accommodation for twenty-five
passengers inside, and was drawn by
three handsome bays, driven by a
smart coachman In livery, and its con-
ductor was gay in blue cloth uniform,
like midshipman. This conductor, by
the way, was the son Of a naval cap
tain and spoke French SO well that it
was quite common for the poke bonnet
ed young ladies from Paddington to
ride as far as the city and back with
the object of improving their French
by chatting with him. The fare from
the Yorkshire Stingo, at Paddington,
to the Bank was a shilling; halfway,
sixpence, and newspapers and books
were provided for the passengers

The EarIv use of skater.

Holland is said to be the home and
birthplace Of skating, and without
doubt skating was first practiced there
and in the far north. In country OF
lakes and canals the necessity Of walk
ing and running on ice must have been
felt from the earliest days. In Hol-
land they show the bone skates which
were found in one Of the mounds Of
which a Friesland village was built.
The skates were fastened to the feet
by straps passed through holes which
were made in the bones. A Danish
historian mentions the sport in 1134.
The bone skates were also first used IN
England. A writer in his account of
the amusements Of the young people Of
London in the twelfth century men
lions the fact that it was usual for
them to fasten the leg bones Of anil
mails under the soles Of their feet by
tying them around their ankles; then,
taking a pole shod with iron, they push
cd themselves forward with great ra-
pldity by striking this pole into the ice.

Aunt Chloe and the Dinner.

Mrs. McJarvis had invited a num-

left her on the morning Of the appoint

says the Chicago Tribune.
In this emergency she hunted up an
old friend Of the family, Aunt Chloe,
wife Of Uncle Ephraim, and asked her
to take the cooks place.
''Tn cook de dinnah, missis," said
Aunt Chloe, eff you'll give me wot's

Mrs. McJarvis agreed, and within
few hours the dinner was well under
way.

Catarrhal Troubles Prevalent.
Spring Months Cause Catarrh
Breathe HyOmei, and
Be Cured.

Catarrhal troubles are more COM
mon at this season than at any other
time of the year. The sudden changes
that come during the spring months
are productive of many cases of Ca
tarrh that without proper treatment
will become chronic.
The pleasantest, most convenient,
and only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh, is Hy-
omei. Simply put twenty drops in
the little pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, and then breathe it
for three minutes four times day.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and as the inhaler
will last lifetime and there is suf-
ficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment, it is the most economical
catarrhal remedy known. Extra bot
ties can be procured for fifty cents.
Ask Anders Jacobsen to show you the
strong guarantee under which he sells
