Program for the
Civic Pride Picnic.

A Civic Pride Picnic is to be held
at Bayview park on Friday, July 3,
and this celebration should he one Of
the most enthusiastic gatherings of
Pensacolians held for many months.
Pensacola has accomplished much
in recent years in identifying the
city. Parks have been established, a
park commission organized, money
appropriated for the care of those
parks. two magnificent municipal
buildings have been built, the city hall
and the city jail, a new half million
dollar hotel is to be built, and the
city schools have been greatly i'm
proved in appearance and comfort
This picnic as the Journal under
stands it, is for the purpose of re-
counting TO the citizens of Pensacola
what '~civic pride has accomplished,
and TO stimulate the very excellent
spirit of making Pensacola "a good
place to live in"
No public demonstration should re-
ceiye higher endorsement than the
Civic Pride Picnic. The plans include

RUN OVER BY
SWITCH ENGINE
James Clary, Colored, Was
Killed at Goulding Last
Night.

James Clark, coIored, employed as
a switchman in the yards of the
Louisville & Nashville, was run over
and instantly killed at Goulding about
10 o'clock last night. His body was
hrought to the city shortly before
midnight and turned over to relatives
for burial.
Clark was one of the crew OF one
of the engines in the Goulding yards,
and at the time of his death was en-
gagged in moving a number of cars
from what is known as the south
yard to the north yard at that place.
He was missed when the engine and
cars reached the north yard, where
the train was TO be made up, and
when a search was made the body
was found in the south yard. 1t is
supposed that he lost his balance and
fell between the cars.

"DEEP WATER CITY HOTEL"
SUGGESTED WITH GOOD REASON
Milton, Fla, June "a.

Milton, Fla, June "a.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
/ see that many citizens OF West
Florida are taking an interest in nam
ing the new haIf-million dollar hotel
which Pensacola is to have in the
near future This is gratifying to a
West Floridian to see so many West
Florida people suggesting names that
are indicative of local pride. Permit
me to suggest one.
Pensacola is the metropolis of West
Florida, and at no far distant day may
become the metropolis of the South.
Pensacola has the best harbor. con-
Sidered from a deep water standpoint,
of any harbor south of Newport News,
and considered from any and every
other standpoint, there is no finer har-
Dor on earth. Pensacola, although
only a few years ago OCCUPYING an al
most unknown place on the map of
the United States, is today recognized
ny the navy department of the United
States as an unsurpassed rendezvous
for the navy of our nation. and is
known the world over as a port pos
sessing a harbor of sufficient magni-
tude to furnish safe anchorage to all
the navieS of all the nations of all
the world
Pensacola is distinctively known as
The Deep Water City" Why nos,
then, call your new hotel The Deep
Water City -Hotel?" This name would
look well on a letter head or envel-
ope: it would sound well and have a
peculiar slgnffcation to any stranger
entering your portals; it would be an
advertisement for Pensacola wherever
heard or seen; and it would be mar
tai music in the ears of every patri-
otlc citizen of West Florida and of
Pensacola especially, calling them to
greater effort i'm the development of
the natural advantages with which
the Creator has so bounteously en-
doWed the Deep Water City
BY all means name your new half
million dollar hostelry The Deep
Water City HOTEL

THE PYx," MEANING THE
MOST SAFE PLACE

DeFuniak Springs, Fla, June 24
Editor Pensacola Journal:
! Name your new hotel The PyX."
The Pyx means the very highest
degree of safe places. Security is the
idea which The PyX" as name de-
notes.
The pyx is the room, chest or safe
used in the British and also the Unit
ed States mints, double and triple
locked and guarded.
In the Roman Catholic church it is
| the box or tabernacle where the host
| is reserved. Host as used here means
the consecrated wafer, believed TO be
the body of Christ. which in the mass
is offered as a sacrifice, also the
bread before conservation.
In shipping or nautical parlance it
means the box in which the compass
is suspended for safety.
The Pyx safely keeps and guards
from all harm of every kind. what
ever is intrusted to it. 1t is a name
applied only to the highest degree of
safe places, the acme of human in
ventions for safety.
If this name has ever been applied
to hotel before | do not know it.
1t is therefore, a new, strong, odd,
heightened, short name. Applied to
a hotel it would be out of place ex-
cept for the very best. | apprehend
lfrom the expense and intended char
acter of your new hotel that this IN
common name The Pyx" would be
very appropriate. Nothing in the line
of hotel work could be too safe, too
well constructed, too clean and sub
stantial, too free from vermin and
disease for The Pyx."
The very name will make it famous
All the world whether on land or sea-
knows that The Pyx' is a place Of
safety.
1t is also d poetic, spirited name:
The Pyx at Pensacola
Will soon loom into view,
The mecca of all travellers,
The watchword of the crew
Who ply the cars or sail the ships
From there to Hon-no-lu.

Death of Ex-President

Grover Cleveland is dead. He dice

passed his list birthday. He had fol-
several years enjoyed the distinction
Of being the only living ex-president
Of the United States. He also had
The distinguished honor of being the
bnly Democrat that has been elected

Mr.. Cleveland was elected president
twice: the first time. in 1884, he de,
heated James G. Blaine, the Republi-
Fan nominee, by 81 electoral votes.
He was the candidate of his party for
reelection in 1883, but was defeated
by Benjamin Harrison, the Republican
candidate. In the electoral college
Mr.. Cleveland received 16S votes and
Mr.. Harrison 233, a majority of 65, al
though at the same time Mr.. Cleve-
land received nearly 100000 plurality
of the popular vote.
In 1892 Cleveland and Harrison ran
again, and Mr.. Cleveland got more
than $4,000 plurality of the popular
vote, and 277 electoral votes against
Mr.. Harrison's 145, defeating him by
1872 votes.
Such an overwhelming Democratic
victory astonished the. world and the
Democrats fondly believed their party
had come back into power to remain
for many years: but their strength
proved to be their weakness. Cues
tons arose on which the party went
to pieces; the most important one be-
ing the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of is to /.
Mr.. Cleveland was a firm believer
in the gold standard and with the aid

Whatever Mr.. Cleveland may have

music. speaking. and a great gather.
ing of people interested in the vel
fare of the city.
The choice of subjects for the speak
has not yet been published, nor have
the names of the selected speakers
been made known.
The Journal feels that the sincere
interest this paper has exhibited in
all things for the betterment of Pen
sacola, gives it the privilege of sug-
costing to the park commission an
outline for its program, and trusts
that IL will not be amiss.
There should be by all means a de-
tailed account of the accomplishments
of the commission in the way of mark
Improvement, since the recent appro-
priation of over $1,000 by the CITY for
this purpose; there should be in an
other address an outline of the future
plans of the commissioners; there
should be an address on civic pride,
that spirit of true citizenship which
makes possible the successful culmi-
nation of all purposes and aims for
municipal improvement; there should
be an account of the improvement of
the city schools, already so well be-
gun under the direction of the School
Improvement Association, and there
should be an address devoted to WAYS
and means of interesting every citi-
zen in the improvement of his lawn
and home.
This last has been well started
through the school children of the
city. The recent exhibit of garden
products planted, and cultivated at
their homes by the children has serv-
ed to point out to the parents the
great benefit that accrues from a well
cared for flower garden, and the vast
improvement in appearance a few
plants and a vine or two, gives to the
home.
All OF these subjects are worthy.
The Journal believes, of the consider
alton of the committee on program.
Perhaps most of these subjects have
already been assigned to speakers of
the day, but if not, it is hoped that
they be considered well.
