peevish old man entered the lobby of a
fashionable New York hotel and made
a more or less labored advance toward
the elevator used exclusively to reach
the guest rooms. He was not a guest,
but had been in the house on earlier
occasions. One of the hall boys who
had been but little time on the force

Wants His Water Straight.

Howell A. Davis has just complet-
ed a galvanized steel tower on his
home premises, at the summit of
which is 1900 gallon cypress wa
ter tank, which will be kept supplied
with water by a windmill pump.
The water supply is taken from n
well about 40 feet deep, furnishing
perfectly pure water for domestic
purposes. Mr.. Davis stated that he
was tired of using such water as is
now being furnished by the water
works company and that the tower
and tank is the logical result of that
WEAKNESS. "There is always one
beverage ! prefer to take straight, "
said he, land that is water. The
water works company has been furn-
ishing a mixed drink for some time
and don't like the mixture"

He Is a Bird
Editor PALATKA NEWS:

1
Can you give me definition, or il
lustration, of the expression. Hes
a Bird" 1t is slang, / know, but
many of these slang expressions of
the street have wide and deep signi-
ficance and are SO common that ii
really amounts to ignorance not to
be familiar with their purport.
Reader.
The expression means that the
person to whom it is applied is an
adept in etfrontery; self-assertive,
presumptuous. But it is frequently
applied to a dissembler of the hu-
mOrous sort, person whom no one
takes seriously.
A recent illustration will be fresh
in the minds of those of our people
who read our contemporary, the
Times Herald. On the 18th instant
that paper published IA communica-
ton on 1.-THE Wet or Dry Campaign"
signed "West Putnamite." The
writer argued for continuance of the
saloon from the standpoint of far
mer. One week later, the same
writer, over the signature, "A Palat-
ka Tax Payer" proceeds to pay high
compliment to "West Putnamite"
(himself) in this wise:
Editor Times-Herald:
"'West Putnamite' in your last is
sue hits the nail quarely on the
head, drives it home and clinches it.
There has not been a better expose
of the wet and dry situation written
for newspaper in many a day.
Something peculiarly refreshing
about his utterances is that they are
sane and sound, practical and I'M
biased by selfish motives. He views
the matter from the two paramount
standpoints-dollars and morals. II
seems TO ME that all his points are
well taken and backed up by facts as
they really exist in counties that
have gone dry, so-called, and condi-
tions as they will undoubtedly exist
in Putnam If it should be so unfor-
tunate as to go dry, so-called, on
September 10Th next"
Now man who could write an ar
ticle for newspaper under one
name this week, and one week later
send to the same paper, under a
different signature, an article paying
such fulsom compliment to his first
effort, is really aid truly "a bird"

70 Span Last Coast Bridge.

A force of men are at work to re-
new and strengthen the Florida Fast
Coast Railway bridge which crosses
the st. Johns river at this point. 1t
was talked on the street that the
bridge would be made span bridge
and that this was the purpose of the
work, but an inspection shows such
not to be the case unless a reach of
from 20 to 20 feet means spanning.
So far the wOrkmen have driven
pilings about 20 or 20 feet apart and
this is to be done on either side of
the draw. 1t will thus be seen that
the spans will be short ones and will
be practically useless for the purpose
this city has urged-allowing the n.y.
acinths to pass through.
The people of Palatka have made
all sorts of requests to the railroad
company and government to secure
a span bridge here with spans of at
least 100 feet. The question has been
one of government enquiry and it is
understood that promises of span
bridge have been repeatedly made.
President Steen of the board of
trade has communicated with the
government and the war department
has ordered the spans. Then the
matter was transferred from the
war department to the department
of justice and there has been more
delay.
Last week when the hyacinths fill
ed the river men were. seen at work
on the bridge, and when it became
noised about that the railroad COM
pany was changing the structure to
a span bridge there was joy in navi-
CATION circles. 1t gave promise of
relief from the hyacinths.
But the work now being done gives
promise of little relief. Spans of 20 or
20 feet will not afford sufficient space
for the clogged hyacinths to pass.
Today the river, extending along
the entire front of Palatka above the
bridge, is packed from shore to shore
with hyaeinths. Below the bridge
there is only here and there small
bunch. 1t is next to impossible for
steamers to reach the Palatka
wharves.
A bridge with several 100 foot spans
on either side of the channel is the
only thing that would afford relief.
And we seem to be no nearer to get
ting it than prior to the agitation.

Schooners That Passed in the
NiSht,

Last Sunday announcements were
read from the pulpits OF the various
coIored churches in this city to the
effect that meeting in the interests
of the approaching wet and dry cleo
ton would be held at colored Odd
Fellows Hall on Monday night, and
urging a full attendance of the
brethren. The notice read straight
and the manner of its various dellv-
cries were not lacking in unction.
On Monday night about 20 colored
men gathered ut the hall. Br'ef
Williams was elected chairman. 1t
is not stated whether the meet
ing was opened with prayer or not,
but it is known that before it closed
several kegs of lager beer were con-
sumed in schoOners. The meeting
was not all harmony. 1t had been
gotten up by the liquor interests and
the aid of such sanity men as Br'er.
Tom Wilson of the a. M. E. church
had been secured to make it sue
cess. Br'er Tom gave the announce
ment to his pastor and that good
man acknowledges that he was fool
ed concerning the character of the
meeting.
The object of the meeting was to
secure the names of those cOlored
men who would vote wet" in the
event that the vet campaign COM
mittee paid their poll taxes.
Charley Spencer, a carpenter, made
II speech denOuncing the whole
scheme and declaring that he would
allow no man to pay his poll tax.
He then quit the meeting in disgust
1t is probable that this meeting, at
which several kegs of beer were used
for the purpose of influencing votes,
will result disastrouSly to the cause
it was organized to help. Those pas
tors who innocently announced it
are indignant. Many of them were
already committed to the dry side,
and those who were not will more
than likely become so committed il
for no other reason than in retalia-
ton for a trick that has resulted in
making their churches appear to
favor meeting at which beer guz-
zling was the principal entertain
ment and whose object was continu-
ance of the beverage liquor traffic.
None of the ministers attended.
They had probably gotten an inkling
of the purpose of the meeting during
the dau
