BAD MONEY IN
CIRCULATION
POLICE FIND SEVERAL TEN CENT
PIECES AND ARREST J. M.
RUTLEpGE.

The circulation Of bad dimes in the
city yesterday caused the arrest of
j. M. Rutledge, colored, upon the
charge of being dangerous and sus-
picious character. The arrest was
made by Capt. Fondebilla who after
an investigation traced the money to
the negro who keeps a restaurant on
Tarragona street.
Early in the morning one ten cent
piece made its appearance and Cap
tain Fondebilla obtained possession of
it. A paying teller at one of the
banks pronounced the money worth
less, and later two other pieces were
discovered. .............
Captain Fondebilla then began work
ing to find where the money came
from, and soon had Rutledge under
arrest. The man stated that he had
the money in his pocket and the cause
of its peculiar appearance was that
he had quick silver in his pocket
where the money had been carried.
The coins do not appear to be coun-
terfeits, but have the appearance of
having been dipped in some solution
which frightened them as though
quick silver had been applied.

SALESMAN
BREAKS RECORD
NEARLY $4,000 LITTLE MINISTER
CIGARS SOLD IN LESS THAN
TWO DAYS IN PENSA-
COLA.

E. H. Briody, representing the firm
that manufactures the famous Little
Minister" cigar is in the city, and
from the amount of business already
done he is evidently a cyclone or hur'
ricane.
He is considered one of the most
successful men on the road, having
been engaged in that occupation for
over nineteen years, yet he claims
to have broken his sales record In
Pensacola Friday and Saturday, dur.
ing which time he sold nearly $4,000
Little Minister cigars in Pensacola
He was assisted, however, by Ike
Hirschman, who is connected with
the Lewis Bear Co., of this city, who
is also an expert salesman.
The Lewis Bear Co. is agent for
this brand of cigars and claims to
have sold over one million and half
of them this year, as much as solid
car load being shipped at one time a
few months ago.
The Little Minister is a popular
five cent cigar and its popularity is
spreading every day in Pensacola and
vicinity

and the guns are trained on it with
almost mathematical precision.
Poor Pay for Technical Work
When it is considered that the men
who operate these technical insIru.
ments, who have charge of the cleo
trical apparatus, the telephones. the
dynamos, the engines, and all of the
other modern equipment of modern
fort are all enlisted men, who have
to learn how to do all these things
after they are enlisted, and who re-
ceive salary of only S13 per month
for their highly technical services,
the more the wonder that the United
States army can find any men at all
under existing circumstances who are
willing to enlist for a period OF years
for such pay. And it is no wonder
that after these men have become
proficient in this work they leave the
service when the term of their enlist
ment expires to take positions in pri-
vate life at high salaries, thus max
ing it necessary for the army to be-
gin over again and train new men to
fill the positions which the govern
ment will not pay its experienced
men to retain.
The present strength of the coast
artillery is about 10000 all told. The
bill which will be presented to con-
gress will probably provide for an in
crease of 5000 men, or just enough
to serve the guns which are now al
most rusting because of lack of men
to keep them in proper condition.
Senator Mallory Favors Increase.
When asked relative to his position
On this matter, Senator Mallory said
on returning to the city yesterday
afternoon that he would favor such
an increase and that he thought un-
der existing conditions some action
by congress was highly essential
"My visit to the forts has inter-
ested and pleased me greatly" said
Senator Mallory, "and was glad of
the opportunity to see something of
the actual working conditions there.
Evidently there are not enough men
in the service to properly care for the
Notifications which we now have,
and while l do not OF course think it
necessary to increase our forces to a
war footing, do think that several
thousand more men are necessary A
war footing would probably require
40 900 men. We now have only about
10000. An increase of 5000 would
not be unreasonable. as we would
then have only $4,000 men or less

are simple, consisting of prayer, short
addresses and the putting in place of

stances the ceremonies are more elab-

pomp, barbecue and in the corner

an event for the laying of the corner

But circumstances conspired if I
may use the term) to prevent this
suspicious event. The ordinance pro-
vided the Board of Public Works
should supervise the new building
under instructions of the council. No
instructions had been received. Then
came the hurricane and further dis
arranged matters Finally at some
time unknown to the mayor, the Board
of Public Works, the Board of Bond
Trustees, or even the architect, the
foundations for the new city hall had
been begun. Instead of the public
being invited to witness the event
there were notices painted on
the gates: mo Admittance. Keen

only against the public but also
against the officials of the city.
