Motor Races Postponed.


 The motor launch races, which were scheduled for Friday afternoon, and which would have drawn & crowd from various sections along the gulf coast have been postponed. due to the re- quest of the Pensacola Driving Asso- citation, which is to give its weekly trotting and pacing races on that date. The association has gone to much ex- pense in bringing horses here from Mobile and other points. and know ing that many of those in the city are more interested in the motor boat races than in the trotting and pacing asked that the former event be called off. sfe.
 It is probable that the motor boat races will be given next week, as the five vessels to enter the twenty-five mile speed contest are in good shape and can easily be kept in racing con- dition for another week. Much money has already been placed on the out come of the race between the Gem and Ora, the two racing boats, and which are claimed to be the fastest along the gulf coast.

ONE BID IS OPENED
DISAPPOINTING RETURNS FROM
 PENSACOLA BOND ISSUE.
Save For The ProposaI or Private Cit- ixen Who Wished To Pay Below
 Par, City Had No Of- fererN.

Pensacola, Fla, July l0.--(Special.) The opening of bids for the $45o,- 900 issue of Improvements bonds of the city occurred this morning, and resulted in much disappointment, as there was only one bid and that from a citizen who offered $95.0oo for $100,- 900 of the bonds. A Cincinnati bank ing firm had sent in a bid for the en- tire issue, but this was withdrawn by the bidders.
 The offer of William H. Knowles, president of the First National Bank, for a portion of the bonds has not been accepted by reason of the fact that the first issue of the bonds sold several months since brought prem ium, and even with the money market in its present condition 1t was anticf- pated that 4 1-2 cent thirty-year bonds. approved by the most prominent Of bond attorneys. and certified to by the United States Mortgage and Trust Company of New York. would at least be taken at par. The money to be derived from the sale of these bonds was to have been used in the pur- chase of a water works plant, street paving and additional sewerage.
 It is probable that the city will walt until the present closeness in the mon ey market passes and then advertise the bonds for sale, though the local offer may be accepted in order that the street paving may be commenced. The purchase of the water works plant may also be effected by giving bonds at par instead of the cash.

STOMACH is SEAT
OF HUMAN LIFE
New Theory Advanced by Young Man Is
Spreading Over Entire Country.

l. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment every
day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent. of
all Ill health is due to stomach trouble.
When interviewed about his theory re.
Gently, he said; Stomach trouble is
the grea. curse of the 29th century
so far as the CIVILIZED races are con-
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
Ill health Of this generation Is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the human raee was
closer TO nature, and men z / women
worked all day out Of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil,
the tired, droopy, haif-sick people that
are now SO common, did not exist.
TO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but 1t was Of virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
Il know positively that every bit OF
this chronic Ill health Is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through a
sedentary existence. further know
that few people can be sick with the
digestive apparatus in perfect shape
The sole reason for my success is be-

Her Little Prayer.

Former Comptroller Edward NJ.
Grout OF New York city tells a pretty
little Christmas story.
He said that a little girl relative of
his was visiting her grandmother on
Thanksgiving day. Already the child
had begun to speculate on what Santa
Claus was to bring her at Christmas
time, and, as children-especially girls
will do when they are at the home
OF an indulgent friend she began TO
rummage through closets and dra wers.
In the course of her investiga ton
she came upon brand new white mufr
1t was the very thing she had wanted,
and she knew that Santa Claus chief
purchasing agent-grandma-ha OBJ
tained it for her
Taxed with it, grandma admitted the
truth
But" she said, you must forget all
about ii until Christmas day"
That night as she was being put to
bed the child astonished her mother by
adding this to her evening prayer:
"Please, God. make me forget all
about the little white nun Santa Claus
Is to bring. New York Times

But now it is gradually drawing on the
world that pledges do not stop drunkenness.
When a man takes a pledge voluntarily he
expects to keep it. Every man expects to
keep his word, and every broken pledge
costs the drunkard many a heartache. But
he cannot help it. He fights as long as he
can, then succumbs to the craving. The
nervous system of the habitual drinker is
diseased End he must have treatment that
will cure this condition This Orrine will do
and is sold under a positive guarantee to
cure the drink habit or the money will be
refunded. No other treatment for the liquor
habit is sold with such liberal guarantee.
Orrine is prepared in two forms, No. a

those who wish to be cured of the habit. and

CANADA'S CHRISTMAS STAMP.
The Only Known Postal Memorial of
the December Holiday.

Tho Only Known Postal Memorial OF
the December Holiday.
Stamp collectors say that the great
est Christmas gift ever made was
postage stamp of the value of 2 cents.
On Christmas. 1898, Great Britain pre-
scented to all her thirty-seyen colonies
a Christmas gift In the form OF two
cent letter postage in place OF the rate
OF 5 cents, which for decades had ex-
listed
In honor of this event Canada placed
on sale on Christmas morning 1898, a
Christmas postage stamp, the only
stamp of the kind ever issued by any
country. In many respects 1t is unique
among all postage stamps.
1t was larger than our Columbian
stamps and showed a map of the world
with the possessions of the British en-
pire printed in bright scarlet The
oceans appeared In a blush green and
the frame OF the design in black.
Across the top was the inscription

marked new epoch in stamp produc-
ton, having three colors. Bicolored
stamps are not uncommon, but up to
that time no country had ever attempt

the thousands of odd things that were
being prepared for the most dazzling
comic opera of the year. The Minstrel

The scenic artists had been working
day and night for weeks, and. with the
Opening" now only few days off. the
managers were nervously dreading
that the Leautiful effects would not be
finished in time. To add to this fear
Henry Granger, the artist on whom
the projectors of the great spectacle
had mainly depended, had succumbed
to the strain of working for days and
nights without sleep and scarcely stop
ping for anything to eat. He lay at
his little east side home tossing and
ravlng in the delirium OF typhoid fe-
yer. He had been absent from the
painters bridge" for nearly a fort
night, and. although his loss was con
sidered serious at first, some one else
had filed his place, and now he was
forgotten. Scenic artists, like actors,
are improyldent creatures, and If any
of the warm hearted stage folk had
had time to think Of aught except the
duties that weighed so heavily on each
and every one they might have
thought that the sick man, out of work
and helplessly Ill, might be suffering
for want of money. Granger was q
favorite generally, and many a time

seven. came no more with the artists

away up there on the bridge" She
was a sweetly coy little thing, her
great blue eyes set in a thoughtful
and pale face, surrounded by golden
curls.
And now 1t was Christmas eve, at 4
o'clock In the afternoon. Old Pete,
the stage door tender, was startled
from his reveries back in the shadow
of his cage by the sweet voice of
child She had "A note from mamma
to Mr. Hardcraft. the manager" No.
the manager was not around Just then,
but she could wait He might be back
any moment. Tenderly the rough old
fellow led the bonny one to prosce
mum box and. lifting her into a big up
holstered chair which she far from
filled, bade her wait. A busy rehearsal
was In progress. which the child
watched with no special curiosity, for
