Yonng Boy Drowned.

edgar Mckenzie, the 9-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. R. Mckenzie, of Dam vile, H.. was drowned at Perdido wharf late yesterday afternoon. The boy had been fishing with his father off the end of the pier, which is built partly of ballast and partly of piling anu crossties. when he expressed de- sire to return home. The father ac- eompanied him along the dangerous portion of the wharf. and when he reached the ballast portion, told him to go direct home. The man then re- turned to his fishing. and was not aware that his son had been drowned until some children came and told him. It is evident that the boy changed his mind about going home and was re- turning to his father when the accident occurred Some children at the north end of the wharf saw the youngstcr as he tripped and fell. going through one of the spaces between the cross ties into the water. MT. and Mrs. Mc- Kenzie have been here for the past four months for their health, being regular winter visitors to Pensacola.

 Negro Burglars Arrested.
 Joe Barnes, Denson Bates, VIII Green and Eugene Wyley, all negroes. were arrested early Saturday morning by Chief White on the charge of break ing into the drug store of Whorton Sons Drug Company. by breaking window in the rear of the store. Only few articles wero missed. but when Joe Barnes was arrested and searched there was found dynamite caps, fuse, steel saw, and a bunch of keys, Barnes has been arrested several times of late and each time he Is found in possession of a bunch of new keys. The only reason that the safe was not blown is that Barnees says he could not find hole large enough m which to Insert the cap. The grand jury promptly indicted Barnes, there being sufficient evidence to convict him. but not the other ones. Later in the day the same negroes were arrested on another charge of stealing from Fosters bakery. They are evi- dently a part of a gang of robbers.

March storms are apparently both most expensive and most bothersome to traffic. and hence are a terror to both tax-payess and the public at large. But it's an i'll storm that blows nobody good, and the inventive press agent of tho Hipodrome managed to take ad- vantage of the recent one. Bright and early in the morning he harnessed the largest elephant in the show to a big red sleigh, filled the equipage full of merry chorus girls, and started the reluctant pachyderm on a triumphant tour along Fifth Avenue and Broad way. The journey ended at the Hotel Astor, into which. to the astonish- ment of the clerks and guests. tho merry ladies of the footlights dashed. stout and genial gentleman, who was standing in the lobby. rose to the occasion and invited all the girls to breakfast with him.

The Remainder of the Subscriptions for S1O,- 900 Fund to Be
 Secured.

The final week of the campaign for the 1910 Fund" of s10.000 begins to- .,ay At present only s2,400 remains to he subscribed and the members of the committee wti4eh have undertaken this task are assured in their confi- dence that the remainder will be made up before the week is many days old.
 The sub-committees will meet this morning and take up the work of fin- ishtng the subscriptions. Many well known Montgomerians have not yet been approached and several of the larger corporations of the city have not announced the amounts they will subscribe. With the completion of the subscriptions will come the definite formation of plans for securing the best results for Montgomery from the money collected. The men who are heading the movement are among the leading business men of the city. men who have prospered in business and who are now devoting tho same az sressiye intelligence to the general welfare as that with which they achieved their private business success.
 The work is an unselfish task. NC man expects to get out of 1t any spe- cial favor for his own private enterprises It Is for Montgomery good and for no other purpose. And a movement for the general good is a movement in which all should bt permitted to participate and in whicf all, in justice. should participate. The definite tangible purpose Of th' undertaking is just ahead. It Is foi Montgomery, a city of 100000 popuia'
 ton In 1910.
 It may not be out of place to men tion again that the subscriptions t' the fund are payable in four quarter lly payments. Which means that mer who subscribes $10 will have $2,So onl! to pay at the end of each three months The fund of s10.O00 when it has one' been secured will be dlsbursed by th'

While the newspapers are speculat- ing as to whether District Attorney Jerome is asleep or awake. there is big safe in Chief Clerk Henneberry' office in the Criminal Courts building which bears eloquent testimony to the energetic conduct of the District Att torney's office. It is in this safe that indictments are kept until the cases they represent come to trial. and so vigorously has Mir. Jerome pushed his cases through the courts since his re- election that the safe habitually stands practically empty. In the days when Tammany ruled the District Attorneys office the pigeonholes of the safe were always crammed full and many an in- dictment was so successfully buried that the case never camc to trial. Cu- riously enough, these buried" indict- ments almost invariably were against divc-keepers and crooks who had close relations with the leaders of Tamma- ny Hall. It is one of the oddities of politics that though New York County gives a nominal Democratic plurality of from 50.000 to 9O,000 votes, there has been no Tammany District Attor- ney in over six years. The last one W as summarily removed from office by Theodore Roosevelt when he was Gov ernor of New York.
