Erdte the cherished longings that,

other forces of our nature: all the in
spfratiOn of life comes from its ever
SurEing tide 10 spur us on to do and
dare in the desperation OF our exist
ence.
We can not tell the world that we
are cast upon a restless tide. the busy
hum Of mdrtS and onward press of
life linSer not 10 catch the meanings
that echo from the breakers falling
upon our storm tossed lives. Alone.
We bear and feel the isolation Of our
being until such time appointed for
the 1ifting Of the gloom to let the sun
shine in.
Somewhere. and perhaps at sons
time, the happy bells of JOY will ring
the emancipation of our pent up souls,
breaking the ShackleS that bind the
forces OF our nature. and letting in
the sun beams to the heart, for we
only await the breaking of the dawn
To change the darkened world into
the mellow radiance of inspired JOY.
How we fret and wear away our
lives in years of disappointment and
mistake-the awful grind of existence
where there is no hope. perhaps. until
the sod has covered all.
What joy to feel the sun burst in
effuIgerce upon the ray1ess depths or
mans despair. This has 2o- Dpen
! promised. it can only come through
some mysterious influence no man can

tiny, but there must be radiance in

is insensible to the thrill of the one
grand passion that stirs mans being,

The un6ertone Of life; the sub
merged world of personal existence,
above which the activities of our
being make warfare for our pTeServa-
ton and welfare; do We ever realize
how much of anguish fill these soul
depths of human lives?
In following the lives of men IN
daily contact with OUT own. interWeaV-

insight 10 we have into the depths
of their real heart longingS and de

in the loneliness of their lives, which
only they can know. and which only

genial. sunny soul can ever satisfy.

We do not dream, we only await
that which we can have IN actual
reality.
dn every life there is a beacon light
afire on every tide that sIrrges with
the passion OF the soul, the halo lieht
OF hope, that beams beyond the wave

Man sheds the dross that becIogs
his nature in the evolution of his

a conviction and precision which
made it interesting TO a marked de-
gree among those who listened. HIS
remarks were directed upon high and
lofty ideals, and his frequent refer
ences to the time when the curtain
had been dropped upon a great ma
tional conflict, and when monuments
were built to the dead, but not to
victory, e'icited much applause.
MIR. StilIman was followed by a
quartette composed of Miss Birdie
White, Miss Ellie Wentworth and
MeSsrs- Van Wrinkle and Garfield.
The selection proved to be a merito-
TiOus rendition of The Star-Spangied
Banner" which was well received by
the audience. Frank l.. Mayes was
then introduced.
Mr. Mayes dealt with the problems
of the day, as affected by events
which have passed, and conditions
which are prevailing today as the re-
suit of that past. He spoke of the
Things which the country expects from
the sons of the grizzled old veterans
who participated in a mighty struggle,
and was optimistic in his estimate or
the possibilities as they now present
themselves.
Miss Olga White, one of Pensacola
best known young ladies and already
bearing an enViable reputation as an
elocutfonist of a high order, then re-
cited The Blue and the Gray" in
her own characteristic style. The Sc
lection was the one for the place ami
the occasion, and was much appre-
c1ated by those who heard it, Arthur
Mcdonnell a member of the Marine
Corps, Rev. Charles iP Hall, and
commander Peterson also gave in
tereStlnS dtScOurSeS, the remarks OF
all three gentlemen being based up
on the general theme of the glorifi
cation OF a custom which Is Joining
the nation together in a common sor-
row, over the graves of it's soldier
dead on the tEirtieth of each Nav.
Rev. Hall is a remarkably fonceful
speaker, while Mr. O'ConneI succeed
ed IN laying his subject clearly be-
fore the people. Commander Peter
sons remarks took the form of a.
general eulOgy to the dead. and the
old Grand Army veteran succeeded in
making his part of the program one
of the most interesting Features OF
the occasion.

A GROWING CUSTOM.
The custom of attending the mem
orial services which occur annually
at the national cemetery is one
which is growing with Pensacola peo-
pie. This year there was a larger
crowd from both Pensacola and War
rington in attendance than has been
the case previously. Last year an
increase in the attendance was noted
from the year previous and it is an
evident fact that the custom of re-
Numbering the unmarked graves as
they lay IN mute testimony of q duty
we'll performed, is finding a place in
the hearts OF the people to far
greater extent as the years advance.
Yesterdays visitors were composed
of interested spectators who apprecI-
ated the things they saw, and were
there to show their personal appre-
citation OF what was being done. Dec

The pending discussion regarding
new and modern hotel for Pensacola
has a tWo-fold interest; it means so
infinitely much TO the city and offers
so curious an analogy.
Mark a prediction-the proposed no.

crowded quarters and will be tested
to it's capacity to care for its guests
from the day it's doors open to the
public.
Scarcely will it be an established
factor of the city when plans will
promptly engage public attention for
another and greater hosiery rms

tourists and the commercial puDllc.
The second affair will be predlcated
largely in behalf of that great BODY
of weIl-to-do people who today repre-
sent the nomadic instinct of the race,
and whose ample means affords them
opportunity to go where they list.
The immediate success OF the one
for which plans are now being made
will show how profitable larger and
more elaborate hotel will prove in
Pensacola.
1t is but a few years since the
ancient Battle House was the sole
representative of comfort in Mobile.
And what a jar it gave to the stranger
who first visited that city! But the
people of that city were apparently
content with this moth-eaten estab-
Iishment. Luckily fire destroyed it.
One might almost say the artistic,
beautiful and well-ordered Cawthon
arose from its ashes. With its pOpu-
lar management, it's comfortable

guests; with its amply laden and adj

he could not get the floor again if he
surrendered it. AS a result he gave
an unprecedented exhibition of en-
durance. His exploit is all the more
remarkable for the reason that his
own party was without sympathy for
his effort and he had but few sup
pointers in the Democratic ranks
NIGHT WILL BE REMEMBERED.
The night was one that Will long
be remembered by senators. The
heat in the chamber was oppressive
and the attempts to maintain a "'"-
rum prevented the fifty odd senators
Finally the sergeant at arms was di-
recte.1 to keep these senators at the
capitol. which was an almost impos-
sible task. AS soon as some of
them were brought in they would an
swer to their names and depart for
their homes The republican leaders
were particularly anxious that Sela-
tors Stone and Gore should not be
permitted TO get an undisturbed
nights rest and they were routed out
of bed by the deputy sergeant at arms
of the senate. They were brought
into the chamber half dressed. but
they did not remain long enough for
their disabifle TO be generally no
tlced.
Throughout the day and night Sen
ator LaF'ollette sustained himself on
punch of egg and milk and on one oc-
casion during a roll call he ate
sandwich. He hIgShanded his strength
by sitting on the arm of his chair as
he talked and for the most part his
speech was delivered in a converse
ticnaI and dispaSsionate tone
There have been a number of ia

disclosed that the travelling public
had been waiting for good hotel
service in Mobile. The renovated

cess made possible the costly and
ample structure, the New Battle
House, now nearing completion and

uccessful-appeal for patronage.
Does anyone imagine the New Bat
tie House would now adorn the heart
of Mobile had not that gem of hotels,
the Cawthon, paved the way?

the CaWthon or attempting an unde-
served bouquet for the Hervey man

quaintance with the best hotels of the
eastern part of the United States and
Canada warrants the calm assertion
that this cosy home for travellers Is
not surpassed in value east of the
Mississippi river.
Montgomery, the ancient capital or
Alabama, offered for years the most
atrocious hotel accommodations.
Travellers went there reluctantly and
left joyfully. And yet it was like

yielded TO Mr. Stone who began his
remarks, which he said to some of
his colleagues, might be continued for
16 hours or so. Obviously he was
puzzled by Mr. AIdrichS motion and
he asked what had been gained by it.
He did not learn.
Speaking in a voice so low that he
could not be ineard distinctly five feet
away, MIR. Stones excessive mOdula-
ton awakened protests, especially
from Senator Scott.
IF my remarks are of sufficient
interest. the senator can come for

Mr.. AIdrich broke into the discus

At s o'clock there was a slight in

Stone began his address.
Senator Stones effort to conserve
