A Pleasant Evening.

1t will be many a long day, we
fancy, however rapid our growth, be-
fore Panama City will have any
prettier or more gratifying function
both in a social way and from the
business standpoint than was enjoyed
by our people Wednesday evening
last when Mrs Fenters served re-
freshments to the Panama City resi-
dents preparatory to opening up her
fine stock of goods to the people of
the entire bay country on Thursday
and Friday of last week. Her store
and sewing-room were decorated with
palms and then the lively hats ar
ranged for the following days opening
when all lighted up made a most
beautiful and attractive sight, one
fit for an artists eye.
Refreshments of fruit, punch, and
waters were served by Mrs Fenters
assisted by Miss Vera Crawford in
the Temporary dining room, the pref
tily decorated sewingrOom, Thurs
day, in particular, boats at the dock
and buggies at the posts indicated
the great interest aroused by this de-
lightful way Mrs Fenters had chosen
to awaken an interest in and display
her stock of millinery.
Not a town on the bay but that had
its representatives here, if not on
Thursday or Friday at least in weeks
time from her opening date.

Quicker Trips BY The Manteo.

The steamer Manteo, of the Mobile
& Gulf Steamship Co., which has
heretofore touched New Orleans and
Tampa on her runs, has been with
drawn from both these places, but
has not been withdrawn from Mobile,
Pensacola and points along the coast
as far east as Carrabelle.
The Manteo will hereafter ply be-
tween these ports giving better SER
vice, for the run will not be as great
as heretofore, and as a result she can
handle business with more dispatch.
She is to touch at the same points as
the Tarpon.
Arrangements have been made for
the vessel to make connection and
handle freight to and from the G. F.
& A. railroad at Pensa-
cola Journal.

Just previous to his last illness he
planned the construction of hospital
near his home where his patients
might have the most perfect care and
treatment and, although much of the
lumber had been delivered and stored
for this purpose, he recognized the
fact that his work was ended and
laid it aside without murmur, saying,
"I've always done my best and am
ready at any time to take up the
labor the great Creator will assign
me in that other sphere"
He loved his Florida home. He
felt he had found the haven of rest
and quietude for which he had so
often lOnged. During the six and
one half years that he lived here his
enthusiasm never waned he seemed
SO happy and contented and was often
heard to remark 81 have found my
little earthly. paradise, do not think
another spot on earth can be found
like unto it,
His library, which numbers several
hundred vOlumns, embraces works
from the very highest authorities
upon Surgery, Practice of Medicine,
BacteriolOgy, Microscopy, Insanity,
etc. He remained a thorough student
to the last, keeping well in touch with
the most modern modes of treatment
OF disease and surgery. AS library
of reference it is considered one of
the most valuable, and might we'll
fill the heart of many less fortunate
doctor with feelings of envy.
The editor of the PILOT was for
many years a personal friend of DR.
Booth. He knew him to be man of
most sterling qualities. Active in an
emergency, calm in danger, re-
sourceful in time of disaster and with
a will of iron to execute in the hour
of need. His brother surgeons hon.
ored him, his patients revered him,
his neighbors loved him, his person
atty instructed, inspired and cheered
all who came within its influence.

Charles E. Booth was born in the
town of Washington, Duchess county,
N. Y, July 1st, 1910. He remained
in that locality ,uptil he was II years
old when he Went to Illinois. He
lived there until the opening of the
Cival War when he went to Broome
County, N. Y, and enlisted in 1862 in
the Dickinson Guards, which formed
a part of the seth regiment of N. Y.
infantry. He was severely wounded
in the battle of Antietam, and hon.
orably discharged. Upon recovery
from his wounds he reenlisted, en-
tering the Commissary Department
at Washington, as Assistant Surgeon,
serving in that capacity until the close
of the war.
Soon after the close of the war he
took up the further study of medi-
cine graduating from Rush Medical
College in 1871.
Later, Post Graduate work was done
at the New York Polytechnic, from
which he graduated in 1885, returning
there different years to pursue his
loved study in Microscopy. During
these years he formed a life long
friendship with DR. John A Wyeth,
DR. Simms, Prof VIM Wisner and DR.
Bennett s. Beach, of New York City.
He established private laboratory,
supplied with every modern appli-
ance, for further research, in, to him,
the most wonderful and facinating of
studies, Microscopy. His Micro
scope was his delight, and for
years, until his decline in health
would no longer permit, with the
busy hum of traffic hushed and the
world asleep, the light still issuing
forth from his laboratory windows,
in the wee 'sma' hours of the morn
ing, revealed the student searching
for that knowledge which should miti-
gate the sufferings of humanity.
AS a public servant he filled the
office of Mayor of his town at Elroy,
Wis, for years and served in the
General Assembly of that State.
He held the position of local surgeon
of the @. IN. w. Ry in Elroy, until 1885
when he received the appointment of
Superintendent of the Northern Hos
pital for the Insane, at Winnebago,
Wis, a position which he held for
four years, resigning to become
Superintendent of the Booth Medical
and Surgical Sanitarium. at Ashland,
Wis.
In 1890 he was appointed Division
Surgeon of the G. & n. w. Ry., with
headquarters at Escanaba, Mich.
where he remained two years, resign
ing to accept the position of physician
and surgeon for the Low Moor Iron
Co., at Low Moor, Va. He filed that
position four years, when upon the
Panama City pilot., 1908-03-19

urgent call of the railway officials he
was prevailed upon tc return to Es-
canada, Mich, and again take up the
duties of Division su1A:on for the G.
& N. w. Ry. During THIS time he as
sisted in establishing the Booth
Youngquist Hospital and also served
as physician and surgeon in the Delta,
Co. Hospital. After a four years
further residence there, in February,
of 1901 he suffered a physical and
nervous breakdown occasioned by
overwork. His family and friends
Delleved that an extended trip with
freedom from all professional cares
the only thing that would benefit him
permanently. Earnest solicitations
on the part of friends brought him to
st Andrews Bay, where he "bached"
alone for three months, in the Look
cottage, now owned by Bert Ware.
Here he was won back to compare
tive health and strength. With the
return of vigor came the old indorni-
table activity-a desire to be up and
doing.
He took long walks and longer
drives, with Mr. Robt Baker, of Old
Town, as guide, into the surrounding
country. At last a tract, one and one
half miles south of Gay was chosen
as the most desirable spot for his
future home. Upon this he erect
ed barn and year or so later the
beautiful home which the widow and
daughter now occupy alone.
When DR. Booth gave up his profess
slonal work upon leaving the north
it was his intention to lay it aside
forever. He wanted playtime. But
with such powers as DR. Booth pos
sessed it were impossible to hide his
light under bushel.
He was called upon from the very
first to advise, to counsel, and to treat
and frequently to operate in emer-
gency cases where delay would have
meant death. His hand skilled in
healing was extended to all classes.
The poor and iiliterate both white
and black felt its saving power.
Probably none mourn his going
hence more sincerely than do the
negroes of West Florida.
One, "Old black Joe," was heard
to say ''De Laud Jesus himself neber
worked bigger miracles" Two
years ago DR. Booth became much
interested in a certain disease
known as ''hook worm" His success
in the treatment of this malady was
particularly gratifying to him. Pa
tents were brought on cots from
great distances, many of whom
through the aid of his loved micro
scope he was able to raise from their
beds of sickness and send away re-
ioicing.

A recent letter from A. B. Steele to

THE RUFF JURY | Is DISCHARGED
Took Thirteen Ballots and Each Time Stood 6 to 6-CouId
 Not Agree on Witnesses.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 21.-Un- able to agree after being out almost A hours, the jury in the case against Abe Ruef. charged with on sring a sribe to former Supervisor Philips, was discharged this evening by Judge Dooling.
 Thirteen ballots were taken by the jury which stood to from the out set. At no stage was there a chance for an agreement, credibility of the witnesses being the main point upon which the jurors were divided.
 Foreman Penny stated minor is sues were swept aside and that the main point during the deliberations was the cerdibility of witnesses. At one stage an effort was made to come to an agreement on the teSti- mony of Phillips, but the six who stood for acquittal claimed the testi- mony of Phillips placed, the proving of the alleged crime on Gallagher, and Gallagher they would not believe.
 Langdon made statement to the effect that the prosecution will not cease the work that has been cut vu, and that as soon as possible ne will proceed to try Ruef on one of the other IF indictments pending. At torneys for Ruef are plainly disxp- pointed and said they fully expected an acquittal The trial occupied seven weeks, -Four of which were de- voted to securing a jury. Over 5000 talesmen were examined.

line and was informed that London has very few great murders or robber- les. but mostly petty thieving and pick pockets form the general court bus mess.
 Verify London, as well as most of the world( has improved, for it Is only a few hundred years ago that murder was the common occurance of the week: one such period will describe in another article. The accident and suicide list in London is small com pared to the great French capitol about two hundred miles away, and I think the reason is due to the slow movement and less Of needless hurry there are in London life. There is also climatic condition responsible for this eveR. tempered life. Perhaps from the creation of the world London has had fogs, and such foggy. misty, black fogs they are. This is why peo- pie do not rush and why they have thus developed less hurried and needless rate of speed in business; they simply at times cannot see, and are obliged to go slow.
 Another noticeable fact about bus ipess is that very few stores are open before nine or ten o'clock in the morn ing. The climate has made this GUS tom. Foggy mornings the people did come 10 buy early, and these business men got into the habit of opening late Saturday afternoon at one o'clock all the large. many of the small. stores close their doors until Monday morn
 1g, and there Is no such thing in Lon don as shopping Saturday afternoon or keeping clerks up urtil late in the night people told me that tais is the best custom that London ever had, and that the sickness, death and sui eide list is lessened by the extra half day of rest taken from business and that it is the only way to keep the "ox out of the ditch" to be out on Satur- day.
 I do not wish to impress on the read. CT that London people are slow in the sense of being sluggish and lazy, for they are far from such. They are also punctual in business life, but there lis not that needless, reckless, headlong speed which ruinse health, life, and home.
 The reader may be surprised when I say that people attend church pune tually in London, at whatever hour the service they are there and thousands and thousands attend I visited one church which had, in addition to the morning school, an afternoon Sunday School and at three o'clock there were nine hundred present, and they came through the fog and rain. I heard three of the great speakers of Lon don. On Sunday evening the service Is at o'clock, which is scarcely sun down in May, but at that hour the house was crowded and I had to be seated in the third gallery. On Tues day evening at o'clock I attended mass meeting where a member of Parliament and two great preachers spoke on religious subjects and on the hour the house was crowded to the top gallery. It seemed a little strange to me to sit in a church service in the evening before dark, for American people. like chickens going to roost, think they cannot or that 1t is useless to get to church before dark. like London and its people and I never tire of the vastness of the city, though I do get lonely sometimes when I see so many thousands and yet know none of them. No wonder Bacon said, Truly great city is solitude"

E GLOBE, May 21.-Frank H. Probert, consulting engineer of the Superior & Boston Copper company, who has spent the last two days looking over the company's property here will leave this morning for Albuquerque, N.

 The Superior & Boston is shipping forty tons of ore day now, where it didn't have a pound of ore in sight ten weeks ago." said Probert last night at the Dominion. The ore shipments are about paying all the expenses of sinking the shaft and carrying on the development work. It runs about g per cent copper"

was not your chance to become rich that made me care for you.'
 'Yes, know that, Lucille, and l ap- preeiate your noble willingness to have me in spite of my loss, but l could never ask you to do that. have come to give you your freedom, how ever it may bear me down to have to relinQuish the happiness which I have dreamed of since the neyer-to-be-for- gotten day when you promised to be my wife"
 Don't think of it again, Charley, dear l love you just as much as l did then, and I wouldn't care to be awfully wealthy, anyway. People who have lots of money are hardly ever happy. Think how lovely 1t will be for us to have cunning little flat where shall cook all the meals myself and feel that am really earning the things that you are able to give me"
 He walked over to the window and looked out for moment, biting fierce ly at his nails. Then turning to the girl again he said:
 The beautiful picture you draw of the flat with you and me alone iI. it only makes 1t the harder for mo to have to tell you that the dear liftie flat too will never be for us, I fear. The fact is, Lucille, that our bank and an other are going to consolidate, and the probabilities are that the position have will be abolished, so I shall have to start at the bottom somewhere, probably on salary that would make it absolutely impossible for me to support wife in anything like the style to which you have been accus- toned"
 I'm so sorry, dear. Troubles never come singly, they say, and really it must be so. But let us hope for the best. Perhaps they will not abolish your position, and even if they do it may be that you can step into some thing else that will be fairly good. I. heard papa say once that the luckiest thing that ever happened to him was being discharged by a hardware firm when he was young man. He got into the dry goods business almost AAtAA-SNAehNSAJ eLlu III O year was HlSH6I than he could ever have got in the hardware line if he had remained in it all his life"
 But things were different when your father was a young man from what they are now. If I should lose nay present position I don't know what could turn to. And there's an- other thing I am compelled to tell you. A cousin of mine has been ar rested in New Mexico for horse steal ing. I feel the disgrace very keenly and could not think of asking you to share it with ne"
 Why, dear. I don't see why your cousins misdeeds should reflect on you in any way. am afraid all of us have cousins who are not models of virtue. Don't let that interfere with your happiness. I shall never think of 1t for a moment. I love you for your own true worth and not for any thing that your family is."
 After he had run his fingers over the piano keys again for a little while he returned to where the maiden sat and said:
 "Oh, well, confound it, if you're bound to have me, suppose may as well give in. Go ahead and set the day to suit yourself. Don't mind me" Chicago Record-Herald.

London, England, May g, 1908.
 I can truthfully say that 1onged as eagerly to see London as I did to get a sight and studies of some of the other great cities of the world in foreign lands.
 In point of population London is the greatest city of the world, being now over five million strong, and no man who has seen it will attempt des- cription of its vastness and magnitude.
 From the standpoint of expectation and desire I was prepared to enjoy London, as well as all England, for I had been so long among the foreign speaking peoples that had happy anticipation of getting to a place where the English language prevailed. As to weather conditions I will say they were not the best, but this is not unusual in spring time; and had seen So many kinds of weather CT land and sea that such small affairs as climate did not deter me in my sight seeing and study. A historical sketch may in- terest the reader. Several centuries before Christ the Celtic race of peo- pie had a small fort and village on the banks of the river Thames-they call ed the fort 'Lyndyn" and it is evident that the great city of today stands on the same place. Only a few years before the Christian era, Julius Caesar, { that great colonizing Roman, came to the island of England, conquered its people and among many other changes, lie changed the name of the Celtic town Iyndyn" to the Roman style, calling it 'Dondinium", and it is from this word that we get the modern short word London. In earlier history there was a race of people living on the island and by the Romans they were called Angeles; from this name we get Angel Iand'', or the short term England. The original race of people on the island were called "Britons, who were really never conquered by the Romans, and this is why the land is some times called Briton, or

The Useful Princess Slip.

Princess slips are. invaluable and are readily transferred for wear with different frocks. Tageta Is first choice for the best ones in white or the favorite light color, though very desirable slips are made of many of the "nearsiIk" fabrics that are shown in such bewildering variety in the shops. A simply made little organdie frock takes on quite an air when worn over q well fitting silk slip, and if the accessories are fresh and pretty, the girl in this inexpensive gown will outshine others who are made to look old by wearing frocks too elaborate and expensive to be ap- propriate to their budding youth, which lasts for so short a time that it is the greatest pity to obscure it's special charm by over-eIaborate dress.
