The Charming Woman

is not necessarily one of perfect form
and features. Many plain woman who
could never serve as ali artists model,
possesses those rare qualities that all the
world admires neatness, clear eyes,
clean smooth skin and that sprightli-
ness of step and action that accompany
good health. A physically weak woman
is never attractive, not even to herself.
Electric Bitters restore weak women,
give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,
velvety skin, beautiful complexion.

performance being given in the theatres

A Word as to
the Paving Work.

On the eve of opening bids for ex.
tenaive paving contracts, Pensacola is
under the first rays of the rising sur
C new prosperity
But paving contracts do not make
pavement, and pavement does not
necessarily make good streets. 1t is
20 he hoped that Pensacola will get
the benefits of the experience OF other
cities, but there is no guaranty that
such Will be the case. and it behoOves
the board of trustees and the council,
in awarding the contracts, to see that
they absolutely safeguard the city's
right of inspection Of the work as it
progresses, in order that all may be
done properly, and that above all,
there be no ayoidabIe delays in the
work.
Among those here to bid are repre-
sentatives Of a peculiarly good pave
nlent, against which, we believe. moth
ing in reason can be said, yet it is a
fact that their contracts in some of
the Southern cities have for one reas-
on or another been executed with less
than the degree of despatch whicn
public interests require, to the incOn-
venience of the public and TO the
awoidable injury of the interests of the
concern itself
The history of most cities in the ear
ly stages of extensive paving has been
more or less an attendance on the
school of experience and hard knocks,
but there is no reason why this should
be necessarily the case. and there M
no reason why the paving work here
should not move forward rapidly and
result only satisfactorily, provided
there is adequate inspection in behalf
of the city while the work is being
done, under a system that leaves NO
doubt as TO the authority of the man
or men giving orders to superintendent
and fOremen

Postmaster VIM. H. Northup, wbo

| ventiOn of the postmasters of the frst
| class, at Erie, Pa, returned Sunday
afternoon, having been absent for
| week or more.
Captain Northup said yesterday
afternoon to a Journal Representative
that he had no doubt that the con.
vention would result in an improved
service in all postoffices of the coun.
try, as there were not only postmas.
ters present from every section of The
country, but also Postmaster-GeneraI
Hitchcock, and many other officials
of the postoffice department, and the
exchange of views and suggestions
made during the convention brought
the postmasters and heads of the de-
partment closer together and gave
each an opportunity Of studying con-
ditions as they now exist.
There were present about one
hundred postmasters of first-class Of
fees" said Captain Northup, and an
equal number of second-ClasS post.
masters, as we'll ass many ladies.
Many addresses were delivered, and
views were expressed as to the best
means Of improving the service One
of the best addresses was that OF
First Assistant Postmaster-General
Hancock, who advocated an increase
in the salaries of the subordinate Of
icfals in the postoffices. He stated
that man capable of holding such
position should receive a larger sal.
ary than that which is now allowed
by the department"
Postmaster Northup is high in his
praise of the entertainment provided
by the business men of Erie, and says
that all who attended spent the time
both enjOyably and profitably.
Florida was complimented by Gen
eral Hitchcock as being the only stats
in the Union with a full representa-.
ton. Every first-class Office in Flor.
ida was represented by its postmas-
ter.
The next convention, which will he
the eleventh annual one, is to be held
in Chattanooga, and it will be the
first since the organization of the
postmasters to be held in the South.

Workmen last night resumed the
task of moving the house on East

Annual Convention of Amer.

at Portland, Me.
BY Associated Press.

Portland, Me-, Aug. z6.-The thir-

| day for a three-day session, with Hon.
Alton B. Parker, presiding. Two hun

and as many more were expected to-
night and tomorrow.
After the address of welcome, Judge
Parker delivered the presidents adj

Parker's Address.
President Parker's address consist
ed of an enumeration of the most not
able changes in statute law made in
the various states and by congress
during the last year, and was a note
worthy contribution to the legal lore
of the country.
The Association of American Law
Schools, which is affiliated with the
general body, also held its inaugural
session today. The program inelud-
ed an address by the president, Dean
William P. Rogers, of the Cincinnati

After pointing out that the public
pays $1,000, 100000 a year for inSur-

by company and state officials with
respect to life insurance, lies in the

Gus desire for 'bigness' which was de-
veloped out of the failure to appor-

immense surplus accumulated through
the deferred payment policy. These
immense sums of money in sight have
eben regarded as spoiis by insurance
managers, whose cOnscienceS have
been cOmmercialized according to
mo dern standards by the state insur-
ance departments and their hangers
on, and, worst of all, by a number of
state legislatures which, with little
knowledge and less scruple, have
treated as legitimate loot these moneys
raised by voluntary taxation to pro-
vide against disaster and calamity.
1T is just as dishonest to steal un-
der the protection of the law as with
out it; it is just as dishonest for the
state to lay unholy hands on trust
funds as for an individual, and the
states commit monstr0us injustice

The promoters now believe that By
increasing the amount of road to be

1t begins to look as though Mr.
Frank Drew had not given up the
fight
Recently he was seen at Lake City
by a prominent citizen of Fernandina
and asked in reference to his project.
He is reported to have said: Il failed
to land the parties upon whom l had
been working when / was at Fernan-
dina the last time, but l have been
endeavoring to make other arrange
ments, and things are working fav-
Orably. The fact is, the arrangements
l am making now for extending the
Florida Railroad to Fernandina will
be better than could have hoped for
had the first plans been successful
We failed to land the capitalists last
spring because of the action of the
Florida Legislature, which appeared
to be antagonistic to railroads and
other enterprises. But l believe that
the plans which l am now working
at present are to succeed, and that
the railroad is to be extended to Fer
nandina, in the near future
Mr.. Drew stated in this interview
that he had purchased Pine Island
for terminal for his road. This re-
port has been verified here and it is
said that the price paid by Mr.. Drew
was large one.
