all handled at Pensacola during the

The foreign exports represented q

larger portion. Other items were al

MONDAY Prayer Meeting.
The MONDAY prayer meeting is
still in force and waiting for the
Christian folks who are in business
within a block or so to attend. There
are perhaps some fifty teachers and
officers of different churches within a
stones throw Of the room, No. 8 North
PalafOX street, who could spend five
minutes only. It would help them,
their family and their business to do
so. The Mission expects to see a
much larger attendance during the
present week.
At the Mission House Sunday after
noon at 3:15 O'Clock there will be an
interesting program OF one noury Wen
worth a car ride to go to- Get of the
ear right at the door, Belt line.
In the evening Mr.. Simpson will
preach, and there will be some special
singers who win kindly assist in the
service. Apart from them, the chorus
under the leadership of Mr.. Simpson
just sings, and the congregation sings.
They cannot help it, and so the whole
service, which is informal IS very
pleasing and once come, always come.
THE demands upon the Mission has
caused this marvellous development in
IFS work, and it has the support OF
nearly all people. Some 100 subscrib-
ers, besides a greater number who
have not yet been reached, but who
thoroughly sympathiZe in the work
and are ready to help In every way
when called upon OF course, the

so few that it is hardly worth men

Oysters received here yesterday
were large and toothsome. One deal

several inches in length, and oyster
lovers last night did not forget to
hunt up those stands.
II was the general opinion by those
who had given the matter much
thought that the late stormy weather
would not leave the oyster beds in
good condition. Such opinion was
dispelled yesterday when oyster fish

anything to do with it. In fact,

HONORS MEMORY
Of >SEMMES

New Orleans, Sept. 27.-By. COM
mani of General Clement A. Evans,
commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, and in accord
ance with resolutions adopted at the
last annual reunion, today was set
aside throughout the south for the
observance of the one hundredth an
niversary of the birth of Rear Ad-
miral Raphael Semmes, one OF the
most celebrated heroes of the Confed-
crate states navy.
Admiral Semmes was born in
Charles county, Maryland, September
27,11809. In 1926 he was appointed
a midshipman in the United States
navy and in the ensuing winter made
his first cruise in the sloop of war
Lexington. He saw service during the
war with Mexico, assisted at the land
ing of General Taylor's army at Mon
terey and was present at the taking
of Mexico City.
At the outbreak of the Civil war
he resigned his commission and i'm
mediately offered his services to the
Confederate states government. He
purchased the Habana, a propeller

packet Of 500 tons, plying between
New Orleans and Cuba. and hastily
equipped her as a commerce-destroy-
ter and succeeded in taking her out
of New Orleans, which was blockaded
by the Federnls. For several months
he crutsed along the coast Of South
America and made many rich cap
lures.
In the latter part of 1861 he cross
ed the Atlantic, arriving at Cadiz,
January 2, 1862. Being closely block
AIDED at Gibraltar, he sold his ship and
with several of his officers went to
England and thence to the Bahama
islands. Soon afterwards he was
commissioned captain and sent to
England to take command of the
new ship building in the Mersey for
the Confederate States.
Captain Semmes commissioned the
vessel as the Confederate man-Of-
war Alabama. and on August 24'
1862, began series of daring and
successful cruises, lasting nearly two
years. On January IL, 1863, he
fought and sank the U. S. steamer
Hatteras off Galveston The follow
ing June he encountered in the Eng
lish channel, off Cherbourg, the q.
s. steamer eKarsarge, in command OF
Captain Winslow. After one of the
most desperate naval battles Of the
war Semmes surrendered and twenty
minutes later the Alabama sank. Cap
tain Semmes escaped by jumping
overheard, and a few months later
returned home and was commissioned
rear admiral. With the close of the
war he returned to- his home in Mo
bile, and devoted the remainder of
his life to the practice of law. His
death occurred August 80, 1877.
