Winter Resorts.

Winter Resorts.
The climate of Pensacola, which is about
the same as that of Los Angeles, Cal, and
the soft, balmy air and the dry sandy soil
give the city great attractions as winter
resort, and there is a large tourist business,
made up chiefly of people of moderate
means, who come this way to avoid the ex-
pensive and fashionable resorts of southern
Florida. Rich people are not the only ones
who travel or go away from home for the
winter. All towns and villages in this Sec
ton of Florida which have neat, comforta-
BILE and inexpensive hotels, are crowded
every winter with people who run away
from the cold and winds of the north. PEN
sacola is one of the most popular of the
places of that sort. and its Olu-fashioned
tnconvenient houses are always filled from
November to April. Just now the man
ayers have to put cots in the parlOrS and
halls. Being the winter rendezvous of the
North Atlantic naval squadron, 200 or 300
officers spend a greater part of their winter
down here in maneuvering and target prac-
tice-and their families would follow them
If there We're comfortable place for them
to stop. But the people of Pensacola lack
the public spirit and enterprise to build a
new hotel.
About eighteen years ago, when the city
had only 1000 or 5000 people, and before
the harbor improvements were made; when
1t was sleepy little burg, with nothing
but the navy yard to live on. one of the
eAlStllS HoteiS was puilt pS company VI :
ganized for that purpoSe-and the first
stockholders lost money. For that reason
the efforts of Chipley Jones. Mr.. Stillman
and other enterprsing members of the
chamber of commerce to organize a new
hotel company have not been successful.
The people think the railroad company
ought to build a new hotel. 1t has done
everything else to bring prosperity to the
town. and there is no reason why it should
not do still more. Local enterprise has
been checked also by a rumOr that August
Belmont, when he controlled the Louisville
and Nashville railway, intended to build
hotel. He sent an agent down. it is said.
to look up site and make preparations
just before he was dethroned and there
seems to be a popular hope that the pres
ent management of the company Will
sooner or later take up the matter and do
something.

CITY OF PENSACOLA

PENSACOLA. Fla, March q, 1905.
According to the local legends, vener
able and pious Spanish priest cursed this
city for its sins and frivolities in the latter
part of the eighteenth century and prophe-
sled that it would show no progress and en-
joy no prosperity for 1G0NyeaTs. The time
was up about ten years ago, and evidently
the curse was removed, for Pensacola
emerged from the semi-eomatose state in
which it had been hibernatng during the
previous century, and began to pick up in
population and commerce., and has since
grown quite rapidly. In 1880, while the
curse was on, the population was less than
7,GOO in 1888, still under the ban, but ap-
preaching release, it increased to IA, 750-
and then, after the shackles were removed
it began to swell in numbers until now, by
the directory and the school census, the
papers claim $4,000 population. Perhaps
10000 would be nearer the truth. The
commerce of the city has increased with
the same rapidity. In .1SS6 the exports
were valued at S2,G00O00 only; in 1896 they

The Dwellings.

There are signs of public spirit here and
there, however in addition to those I have
mentioned. The residence portion of Pen
sacola is attractive. and large numbers OF
inexpensive. comfortable cottages surround
ed by spacious grounds are springlng up on
the outskirts, wherever the street car sys-
tenn makes them accessible Most of them
belong to northern people-business men
who have retired or have reached that
gratifying period when they can take long
vacations. There is much in Pensacola
to attract that class of men. Other houses
are built by northern men who have
made investments in this section-in timber
lands, truck farms and other properties.
The city is slowly improving all the time.
pavements; now an extensive sewerage sys-
tenn Is being laid and there is movement
to pave the streets. AT the recent cleo
ton the people voted for an issue of $780,
coo in bonds for public improvements, but
there was some kind of defect in the pro-
ceedings which has caused delay.
Pensacola is the headquarters of the red
snapper fisheries of the gulf, and 100000
worth of those fish are shipped to all parts
of the country in refrigerator cars About
sixty vessels from thirty to fifty tons each
are engaged in the trade, and cruise In the
Bay of Campeche and along the coast Of
Yucatan, which is much frequented by the
red snappers. The vessels are owned by
local companies. The crews are white men,
usually down casters or ScandlnavlanS.
The vessels are loaded with thirty or forty
tons of Ice and provisions and then start
off on cruise lasting from ten to thirty
days, remaining away until they have
caught enough fish to fill their holds-the
fish being frozen as fast as caught. When
they return to Pensacola the cargoes, still
frozen, are transferred to refrigerator cars
for shipment to the north. The local mar
ket is supplied by negro fishermen, who
cruise up and down the coast of the gulf
for mullet. pompano Spanish mackerel and
other varieties.
The fresh water rivers that empty into
the gulf in this locality abound in sturgeon,
which are caught and stripped of their eggs
to make caviar.

An Excellent Dock System.

How much of this change in material and
commercial conditions has been due to the
lapse of the old priests curse is a ques-
ton. Doubtless the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company has had a good
deal to do with it. Because, recognizing
the favorable geographical location of the
city and the superior advantages of its
harbor, that company at an expense of
$3.OCOOOo has constructed extensive wharves
and warehouses on the shore of the bay,
where vessels can load,'to a depth of
twenty eight feet immediately alongside the
cars 1t is one of the finest fdock systems
in the world, equppeds with. every modern
appliance for the rapid and economical
handling of cargoes, so that nearly every
thing can be handled by machinery and a
ship of $500 tons can be loaded or unloaded
either from the cars or the warehouses
within few hours. One of the docks has
more than 1900 feet, and another nearly
1900 feet of railway track, covering an
area of 10000 square feet, thirteen chutes
for handling coal and four for handling
grain, SO that both may be shot immedi-
ately into the holds of vessels from the
elevators or from the cars. A cargo of four
OR five thousand tons of coal or grain may
thus be transferred to a ship in a few
hours. The warehouses, elevators and
tracks have Il capacity double the present
demand, but the export trade is growing
Similar facilities have been provided for
shipping phosphate rock, of which large
qooii'ieiCS Iioii Tue Deus OIL tennessee are
exported from Pensacola The ware
houses are so arranged that one class of
cargo may be handled from an upper story
and another class from lower story at
the same time One warehouse has 400
doors, each eight feet wide
with all these preparations the railroad
company is able to do large business. and
they have attracted to Pensacola a fleet
OF European ships. The export trade, as 1
nave shown you. is growing rapidly. The
rallfoad company, with unusual foresight
has been getting ready for the future; for,
when the Panama canal is finished, Pen
sacola will be in a position to handle any
amount OF trade. No city Of the south will

MILLION DOLLAR BABY,
Senator Clark Gives a For
tune to His Latest
Grandchild.

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-Another
million-dollar baby was born. The
little one is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles w. Clark, who are at
San Mateo. AS soon as the birth of
the child was announced Senator w.
A. Clark of Montana, the Grand
father, announced that he would
settle Sl.OOO,OO0 upon her. This is
the second demonstration of his now
famous custom. Several years ago
Senator Clark at the birth of his first
grandchild gave it $1,00O,OOO. Since
then his son Charles married Miss
Celia Tobin of this city, and the
daughter born to-day is the result of
the union.

TWO QUEER CASES.
One Girl Breathes After
Death and Another Re-
turns to Life.

New York, Dec. 26. After being
dead apparently for three days,
placed in her coffin, and with her
friends and relatives ready to take a
farewell view of the body before it
was buried, Viola Anderson. II years
old, of Elizabeth, N. j., was found
to be in a trance today and was re-
vived. The girl escaped being bur-
led alive by a very small margin.
A neighbor who is a close friend
of the family noticed that the body
appeared to be slightly warm, al
though the girl was supposed to
have been dead three days. Finally
the family physician was sent for
and after a thorough examination
and severe tests he said the girl was
only in a trance. After working over
her for several hours the doctor man
aged to revive the young woman and
she began to speak. She expressed
surprise at not finding herself in
heaven and was Mortified when told
of her narrow escape from an awful
fate.

By unavoidable delays in finishing
the interior it may take another
