EIGHT BRICK STORES
70 Be Erected on Lemon Street
Front Of Putnam House
Groundc.
Merryday Bros Big Scheme For I'm
proVement- Work Win Begin
Next Month.

/ l.. H. and w. A. Merryday, owners
of the Putnam House, have cOmplet-
ed plans for block of eight elegant
brick stores to face Lemon street,
and on what is now the Putnam
House lawn.
The architect is Mr.. S. j. Barstow
of this city.
The stores will all have modern
plate glass fronts with vestibules,
and the plate glass will be of single
panes ten feet deep. The single
stores, two in number, will be size
20x60 feet, while the double stores
will be 40x60 feet. The stores will be
even with the street line, thus leav-
ing a space in rear of 46 feet to Put
nam House wall. This space will be
an ornamental court with grass plot,
| trees, shrubs and fountains.
The work of construction will be
gin next month and pushed to early
completion.
The stores will begin at the Third
street corner and continue east 1859
feet. Their building solves the
problem of downtown store capacity
for the present by furnishing ideal
store rooms in the most desirable
business portion of Palatka. That
they will find tenants and that i'm
mediately goes without saying.
But the building of these stores is
only a small part of the improve
ments to the Putnam House proper
ty which the Messrs. Merryday con-
template.
1t is their purpose to pull down all
m ctr ri nf ha L
ing which extends from Lemon
street back to the main line of the
building running east and west.
When this is done the line of stores
will be extended to Front street.
For the present, however, it is
their purpose to take out only &c feet,
and this so that the ornamental
court can extend through the proper
ty from Front to Third streets. This
will mean also the cutting away of
about % feet from the south end of
the servants building on Third street.
In thus arranging for the court,
there will be left detached part of
the building at the corner of Lemon
and Front street, but this is to be
left in this shape only temporarily
The changes will thus cut out total
of Sc sleeping rooms. but it will add
to the comfort and desirability of
the other rooms fronting on the new
court by opening a way for the cir
culatiOn of air.
1t is the purpose of the Messrs.
Merryday, however, in case more
hotel rooms are needed to supply
them, in modern suits with bath,
over the line of Lemon street stores,
the new rooms to be reached by a
steel, glass enclosed bridge over the
court. The walls of the store build
ings will be constructed with a view
to three stories.
1t would be hard matter in the
short space of a newspaper article to
describe adequately these improve
ments, all of which are to be made
this summer. but the Messrs. Merry
day have as a model in their minds
the Hotel Green at Pasadena, Cal,
and no one can get a thorough in
sight into their proposed improve
ments without feeling that the enter
prise of these progressive citizens is
going to work to the great benefit of
the city of Palatka.
The hotel will be opened in De-
cember in its remOdeled shape.

A MIDNIGHT BLAZE.
The Ola Engine House Of the Milwaukee Railroad
Destroyed BY Fire.

Near six O'Clock Tuesday evening and
before the north-bound passenger train
left the city, trainmen noticed a small
blaze at the southeast corner of the old
engine house, which they promptly ex-
tinguished with a few pals Of water
and to be certain that no sparks remain
"a they cut away the charred wood with
an ak. Along about nine O'Clock in the
evening Baggageman Spelium took 8
survey of the building and found it to
be all right, but in all probability little
spark remained and when famed by the
breeze, which was in the right quarter,
it started to blaze and near midnight
was again discovered. 1t took good
long time to arouse the fire department
and get them over TO the burning house
with the hose carts and hook and ladder
wagon, and when the hose was fastened
to fire plug and the water turned on
there wasn't force enough TO carry the
stream ten feet away. The fire soon
consumed the building and two mowers
and a binder belonging 10 the Piano Co.
The blaze started in the first place from
sparks from the engine.
This house was build by the G. NJ. &
st. P. Co. In 1879, and was veneered on
the inside with white brick, which ac-
counts for the long time 1t burned be-
fore falling il.
The company had no particular use
for the building and therefore will not
erect another.

OLD AND YOUNG ARE CALLED HOME
Three WelI-KnOwn Men Pass Away This Week to
That Home Where There Is No Sorrow

On Monday morning last, news
reached the city from La Crosse of
the passing away of Henry Hopp, at the
st, Francis hospital, where he had been
receiving treatment for several weeks
past. The end was not unexpected as
he had besn in poor health the past
year. Last fall Henry underwent an
operation and hopes were entertained
for his recovery, but his ailments were
of so complicated a nature that he was
unable to get permanent relief
Not many people have had as many
misfortunes fall to their lot as did Henry
Hopp, During the past years he suffer
ed from numerous accidents. His father
was KILLED accidently when Henry was
a small boy and four years ago his
mother was burned to death. Two s's-
ters survive him Mary who has always
lived with him on their farm home in
Franklin and another sister living in
South Dakota. Few young men had
more friends than Henry Hopp. Hard
working, companionable, popular per.
sonally he won and kept the friendship
of all. He was member of the Frank
lin town board for years and held other
offices of trust and honor. He belonged
to the Masonic order, the Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythians and Woodmel
The body was brought to this city last
evening and funeral services will be
held at the home at one O'Clock to-
morrow Thursday afternoon, conduct
ed by the Masonic order, with interment
in Liberty Pole cemetery.

Gentle spring is sure upon us,
With its buster and its blow.
There's the warble of the mocking bird
The cawing Of the crow,
The twftter of the blue bird
And the chatter of the jay.
And the English sparrows putting up
A house across the way;
There's mildness In the atmosphere
And a gentle, softly SMELL
And Wen get the garden ready
And we'll take the calomel.
We will HE us with a demijohu
To river cool and deep,
And we'll stick pole intothe bank
And read a book and sleep
