Justice has not been done the gossip.
The wiseacres Indulge in sententious re-
buke OF Mrs. Sinner. yet large portion of
the conversation one hears in all informal
assemblies when there is no restraint upon
the flow of talk is largely gossip. The
habit is commonly supposed 20 be affected
chiefly by women. The Injunction Let
your women keep silence in the churches"
would seem to give them license to speak
freely elsewhere. but the male gossip Is
much III evidence on all occasions Gossip
Is not necessarily SANDER. The light and
airy persifiage which gives so much grace
and interest to social intercourse is form
of gossip which makes life worth living.
The painfully silent person does not get
on very well in any circle. so that 1t is
better to talk little innocent chaff than
not to talk at all. The grayest persons,
when introduced. begin their conversation
with meaningless platitudes about the
weather. or indulge In fnane gossip until
they lind some common ground for sane
Intercourse. The Intelligent reading world
pays an unconscious tribute TO gossip IN
assigning to such writers as Pepys and
Boswell a place among the English clas-
sizes The charm of certain modern histo-
ries Is due to the fact that they record Cos
sipy trif1es which were once regarded as
much beneath the dignity OF historical
narrative

be drawn between the vicious scandal

Modern journalism, particularly that OF

Yesterday and Last Night,
and Merchants Report
Exceptionally Good
Business.
THE WEATHER WAS EXCELLENT
AND THE HOLIDAY CROWDS
GOOD NATuREp AND GENEROUS
EVERY STORE CROWDED DUR.
ING THE AFTERNOON AND UN-
TIL LATE AT NIGHT.

While the merchants of Pensacola
experienced a rush of Christmas
shoppers on Saturday. it was small
compared TO the crowds that flocked
the streets and stores yesterday and
last night. The day was an ideal one
to precede Christmas and the shop
pers took advantage of the fair but
cool and brscing weather to make pur-
chases as gifts for friends and rela-
tives
A more good natured crowd could
not be found than that of yesterday.
Every store, where Christmas bar
gains were offered, was crowded.
Gifts valued at from five cents to
many hundreds Of dollars were pur-
chased, and it was estimated last
night that the business done by the
merchants Of Pensacola. was larger
than any previous year. In the stores
could be found people of all classes,
their faces wreathed in smiles and
anticipating the Joy that would be
brought forth by the presentation OF
the gifts then being purchased. Along
Palafox street and other thorough
fares OF the city could be seen. all
the afternoon, women and chill
dren with arms filled with packages
vending their way homeward. while
many delivery wagons were busy de-
livering the articles purchased to va
rious portions of the city.

however. the rougher element held
forth. and later in the night many
who had imbibed freely were in evil
dence- There Were no serious dis
turbances up to midnieht, but those
who were on the streets at that hour
were celebrating Christmas 1906 in
a manner that is believed by some
as the only means befitting the Joy
Gus occasion.

football to be played this season will
be that of this afternoon. which will
probably be the last game of the sea-
son. 1t will be between the Pensaco-

LAUNCH BURNED
TO WATERS
EDGE
DR.. Blocker and the Captain
Had to Jump Into Bay
For Safety.

Through the burning of the launch
Stephen, owned by Max Klein, of this
city, in East Bay Saturday night, DR..
Louis Dem. Blocker, of this city, and
the captain of the launch had an ex.
perience in the cold waters of the bay
which they will not soon forget.
DIR. Blocker had gone on the launch
to Holly Saturday, and started to re-
turn about 8 o'clock at night. The
vessel had gone about three quarters
OF mile from shore when the en-
CINE stopped and the launch began to
drift about the bay. The man run
ming the launch had a lantern on
board and he placed this upon a seat
while he examined the engine TO as
certain the cause of the trouble The
seas were heavy and TIE launch was
struck by an exceptionally heavy one
and the lantern, overturning, ignited
quantity of gasoline which had
escaped.
The two soon saw that they had no
hope except to take to the cold water,
and securing life preservers they
jumped into the bay and started for
snore. They did not know the depth
of the water at the point, but found
that it was between four and FIVE
feet, so waded ashore. A few mo-
ments after they left the launch the
gasoline tank exploded.
After reaching shore they started,
half frozen, for Holly, four miles dis,
tant, and finally succeeded In reach
ing there, although suffering much
from the cold and exposure. There
the launch Grand Rapids was secured
and brought them to the city, reach
ing here at 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
The escape of the doctor and man
in charge Of the launch was a narrow
one, for had the accident occurred
further out from shore they would
undoubtedly have persisted.

FRIDAY, JAN 5, 1906.

Senator John NJ. Gearin, who has been appointed to succeed the late Senator Mitchell of Oregon, is hopeful of the future of the democratic party. Nobody need be pessimistic about the future of the democratic party he said. "Buffeted and knocked out time and again by blows that would have killed any other political organization on earth. it still comes smilingly up to the scratch ready for more punishment. It is impossible to keep it indefinitely in the minority Senator Gearin is. a native of Oregon. His parents crossed the plains in 1851 and settled on a farm between Portland and Salem. Later Mr Gearin went to Indiana and was graduated at Notre Dame college. He began the practice of law in Ore gon and associated himself with the law firm of Mitchell & Dolph, which has the remarkable record of furnish ing four United States senators.

The policy of charging fees for live
 stock pastured on the forest reserves
 having been upheld by the sentiment
 of majority of the stockmen using
 the reserves, and having been ap-
 proved by the president, the efforts of
 the forest service are now directed to-
 ward rendering the grazing privileges
 so secured by permit of the fullest
 value to the user consistent with the permanent good of the reserves. Since the first grazing regulations ware issued
 by the secretary of agriculture on July
 last the forest service has attentively
 watched their working in practice. IL became evident that they would need certain notifications to assure to stockmen a more equitable use of the range without in the least loosening those essential restrictions on which the very existence of fbe live stock in dust.v depends. From the first. the main body of the grazing interests quickly grasped the advantages of grazing under a system of regulation. and justly appreciated the fairness of a reasonable charge which would se- cure both the grazing privilege and permanent use of the range. Natural ly enough. the terms of the grazing regulations have called forth discus sion and suggestion. but. with the ex- ception of Colorado. protests have been received from no grazing state calling for more than the amendment of cer- tain of the restrictions under which the grazing privilege was to he paid for. The protest of Colorado grazing interests against the payment of any grazing fee whatever led tO the con ference held recently at GlenwOOd Springs. at which representatives of local associations of live stock owners conferred with the forester. Certain concessions for which the experience of the forest service with the new regulations had paved the way were then agreed to by the forester. These concessions are included in the revised edition of the grazing regulations which the secretary of agriculture has

On the east plaza of the Capitol stands a statue of George Washington, or, at least, it has been so called. For sixty years it has been the prime source of laughter and ridicule to everyone who has looked upon it. Poets. newspaper writers and congress sional orators have all taken fling at it and it still stands in its loneliness, d trayesty on art and a caricature Oh him we delight to call the Father of his Country" Horace Greenough of Massachusetts was the sculptor. Up to the present time, including the cost of shipment from Italy, and the annual inclosure in its wooden closet,' the gov ernment has paid out something more than s40.OOO. The fact that the statue remains is a conclusive proof that the spirits of the dead no not walk, for if they did. George would long ago have marched some of his Valley Forge vet erans to the east front Of the Gapltol and dropped Mir Greenougifs work into the Potomac. The proper place for the statue is undoubtedly the National museum along with other freaks and curiosities. It should have never been allowed to disgrace the Capitol plaza this long.
