The most important uses Of fire were
bught by fire itself. As the primitive
nan stood near the flames OF the burn
Ing tree and felt their pleasant glow he
learned that fire may add to bodily
comfort, and when the flames swept
through a forest and overlook a deer
and baked IL he learned that fire might
be used to improve the quality Of his
food. The hint was not lost. he took
a burning torch to his cave or hut and
kindled him a fire on his floor Of earth.
Bis dwelling filed with smoke, but be
could endure the discomfort for the
sake Of the fires warmth and for the
sake Of the tOothsomeness Of the cook
ed meats. After a time a hole was
made In the roof Of the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out.
Here was the first stove. The primi-
tive stove was the entire house, the
tOOr was the fireplace and the hole In
The roof was the chimney. The word
stove" originally meant "a heated
loom" So that II we should say that
At first people lived In their stoves we
would say that which ls literally rue

Rapid Writing,

A rapid penman can write thirty
words a minute. To do this he must
draw his pen through the space Of a
rod, sixteen and One-haf feet. In forty
minutes his pen travels a furlOng, and
in five hours and a third a full mile.
He makes, on an average, sixteen
curves or turns Of the pen for each
word written. Writing at the rate or
thirty words per minute, he must make
eight curves to each second; in an hour.
28,SOO; in five hours, 144,O00, and in
900 days, working only FIVE hours each
day, he makes not less than 43,2O0,OO0
curves and turns Of the pen. The man
that makes only 100000 has done
nothing remarkable; there are those
that make four times that number.
Here we have in the aggregate a mark
800 miles long to be traced on paper
by a single writer in a year. In max
ing each letter Of the alphabet we
make from three to seven strokes OF
the pen-on an average three and a
half to four.

A petition was presented by Alder
man McHugh, signed by the property
owners along Chase street from

thoroughfare be paved. Alderman
McHugh also presented an ordinance
providing for the paving of the
thoroughfare. Unanimous consent
was asked for the first reading OF the
ordinance but denied when Mr.. Null
don interposed an objection. The
original contention Of the objecting
Alderman, that the matter be referred
to the Board Of Bond Trustees pre-
vailed, though such motion was made
by Alderman McHugh.
The vehicle, stock and smoking on

second reading. c. Moreno Jones
representing those who are opposing
the passage Of the stock ordinance,
addressed the council, and presented
q number of petitions disapprOving
the ordinance. From the tenor from
Mr.. Jones's remarks it appeared as
l. he was not arguing against the
spirit of the ordinance, but the limits.
F. w. Marsh followed Mr.. Jones,
and spoke in favor Of the ordinance
as amended. He stated that he offer
ed the motion at Chamber OF Conf

where electric cars operate created a
bad impression when witnessed by
strangers.
H. H. Boyer spoke in favor Of the
ordinance and stated that the citizens
of East Hill desired the passage OF
the measure.

Buckles aim was to trace the his

The council meeting last night
was productive of everything desired
in the oratorical line. First the
mayor tried his hand in defense of
Chairman Zelius of the Board Of
Public Works and the board itself
and the Aldermen had several trials
during the evening. Not to be out
done citizens interested in the stock
ordinance. pro and con were on hand
and tuSned loose enough eloquence to
do justice for some time to come.
LAWYERS were on hand to do their
part from a legal standpoint and
everything moved along merrily,
though all was not serene and bright
at times.
The report of the finance commit
tee proved an interesting document
and outside of matters which will be
found in other columns, the most in
teresting matter reported upon by
the committee was the garbage ques-
ton. The committee stated that at
present the city is not able to erect
a plant and has suggested that a
proposition be made by the company
making the garbage proposition to
erect a plant. and take a long tine
contract for the garbage with the
city possessing an option to purchase
the plant.
Great interest is being manifest
ed in the stock ordinance and the
! council was crowded last night with
| friends an0' opponents of the measure
now before the council. After long
discussion in which aldermen and
citizens participated, it was decided
/ to POSTPONE action on second read
ing and investigate the question fur
! ther. though the general ordinance
committee recommended the passage
Of the measure with certain amend
ments.
The minutes of the preceding meet
ing we're read and approved.
Mayor Bliss read a communication
to the Council. stating that the type
| writer machine used to record the
minutes of the council and different
boards of the city is practically

with the old machine included. The
authority asked for was on motion OF

fund, which recommendation was ap.
| proved.
Finance committe Report.
The committee recommended that
an additional fire engine be pur.
chased. but that this cannot be done
until after the annual appropriation
is made next October.
In reference to the erection Of a
garbage plant, the committee reported
that the city finances at present will
not permit the building Of a plant
The committee stated that 1t was
suggested to Judge Wright, the gar
bage company's representative, that

OF MODERN STYLE
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK To
CONSTRUCT A STRICTLY FL
NANcIAL STRUCTURE.

From an authentic source it was as
certained yesterday that negotiations
have practically been closed for the
erection Of a modern bank building in
this city by the First National Bank.
The site to be occupied by the new
structure is that now occupied by the
Pensacola Investment Company and

COLD KILLS THE GERM.

Heads in the Arctic Region.
The people who come back from

native bald heads are there. The
evidence is that the cold climate
kills the germs that eat the hair on
at the root. Lieut.. Perry. who went
to the Arctic Regions, gives the same
evidence. NewbrO's Herpicide has
the same effect as the cold climate.

immigration Bill Passed by the
House After Being Radically
Amended.
A COMMISSION IS CREATED.
Consisting of Two Senators, Three
Representatives and Two CitiHens
to BE Appointed BY PresidenttO
Investigate Immigration.

Washington, June 26.-The amend
ment to the immigration bill reducing
the tax from IS to 30 was debated earn
estly by Mr.. Steenerson of Minnesota,
Mr.. Gardner of Massachusetts, Mr..
Bennett of New York, Mr.. Bartholdt
Of Missouri and Mr.. Burnett of Ala
bama.
1t was insisted on the one hand that
a s. head tax would tend to decrease
the number of aliens and tend to ex-
clude the less desirable. Mr.. Bennett
and Mr., Bartholdt, however, believed
that the amendment was intended to
keep out the Southern Italians, the
Hungarians, the Poles and the SLOW
axis. 1t was their opinion that 1t would
penalize immigrants such as the Ger
mans, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians,
Firms, Irish and Scotch and English
who came usually with large families.
The recent atrocities in Russia re-
sulting in the killing of many Jews
and the murders at Kishineff came in
for strong and vigorous speeches on
the part of Mr.. Littauer Of New York
and Mr.. Goldfogle of New York. Mr..
Littauer offered the following amend
ment which was adopted without d.
vision:
IAN immigrant who proves that he
is seeking admission to this country
solely to avoid prosecution or punish
ment on religious or political grounds
for an offense Of a political character
or persecution involving danger OF
imprisonment or danger to life or limb
on account of religious belief shall not
be deported because of want Of means
or the probability of his being unable
to earn livelihood"
He spoke sympathetically Of the po-
litical refugees who, driven from home,
seek this country because Of their be-
lief almost amounting to Fetch that
here religious persecution is unknown.
The action relating to the educa-
tional test was then taken up and Mr..
DENLY of Michigan offered an amend
ment, which was adopted providing for
admission Of immigrants
coming to this country solely to avoid
or political persecution.
Mr.. Grosvenor Of Ohio presented
substitute for the educational test as
provided for in the bill, the following
being its important provision:
"That a commission is hereby Great
Cd, consisting Of two senator's to be
appointed by the president Of the SEN
ate and three members Of the house Of
to be appointed by
he speaker Of the house Of represen-
Eatives and two citizen members to be
appointed by the president Of the Unit
ID States. Said commission shall make
'ull inquiry, examination and investi-
yation into the subject Of immigra-
ION" The amendment also provides:
said commission shall report to
congress- the conclusions reached by 1t.
