Editor Tyler, Of The Pensacola
Journal, is agitating q revival of in
terest in the DEVELOPMENT and up
building OF that city and he is calling
to the attention of his fellow citizens
some former Pensacolans who ''got
busy" about the time the Deep Wa
ter City was discovered.
There was Panfilo de NaYarez, ''for-
merIy OF this city" as the personal
column is fond Of putting it. We have
Editor Tyler'S word for it that old
Panfilo was the first to sail upon the
magnificent bay which makes Pensa-
cola famous. Panfilo was evidently
OF rowing disposition and he did not
like the real estate offerings of the
PENSACOLA sand peddlers of that day.
He refused to settle-probabiy in two
ways-and left down before daybreak
one day when he heard noises like d
tomahawk party.
Next, according to the authentic
narrative under notice, probably com
piled from the files of The Journal of
three hundred and fifty years ago,
came Guido de Ia Bazares, who
touched the soil" Whether he also
touched" the inhabitants isn't re-
corded by our historian. His ultimate
fate is also left to conjecture-but
ne was succeeded by Tristan de Luna
y Arellanos, who arrived in 1858 and

doubtless getting the better of the
natives, being equipped, like all we'll
regulated commercial travellers of that
day, with such implements of civili-
cation as playing cards, poker dice
and three-card monte outfit. Iris
tan, however, had neglected to bring
with him q name for the budding me-
tropOlis and cabled back home an or
der. The delivery was a bit slow, and
1t was over a hundred years later be-
fore the name was received. Don An
dres de Pes brought it over and safely
attached it to the place, christening
the future realm of Priscus and Pros
perity Santa Maria de Ga1ve, in honor
Of a noted gentleman who was Just
then holding down the job of Viceroy.
Both the name and the bearer of ii
soon disappeared, however, and it was
not until three years later that An
dres de Arriole became the first mayor
of Pensacola, having been elected by
the enthusiastic citiZenry on account
of his phenomenal success in secur-
ing deeper water. ATriole built Fort
Carlos, drew up the charter, swore in
the first chief of police, and in many
other ways, gave the municipality a
good start.
The old citizens would doubtless be
proud of Pensacola if they could see
it now, as Pensacola is proud of them.
1t is well that The Journal is digging
this sort of information out of its old
files and reminding the present gener-
alton of the immortal names of the

Innocent Quotations
Stir Up a Row.

A few quotations from the poets on
abe subject OF Friendship, recently
cited by This Journal, seem to have
caused no end OF pother, involving,
TO T. greater or less degree, the hap
ptness Of Editors Jordan, o. the Pun
Hs Gorda Herald, and Law of the
Borrow Courier Informant. The for
mer intimated that both the Journal
and the Courier-Informant regarded
friendship as a fraud-that each took
the position that there is no such
thing as unselfish, earnest, may we
cali it Platonic? affection.
Editor Jordan devotes over a col
UIInn of his excellent paper to the task
of showing how mistaken was such a
thought. a proceeding on his part
which The Journal highly commends,
Tor it saved him the necessity of fill
ing up with those fish stories whose
recital we do not think is altogether
good for his soul; and moreover, he
} did write feelingly on a subject-one
of the most beautiful and elevating
of all subjects-which without doubt
brought to him the kiss of an angel.
Well, what The Journal wishes to
say Is that it has been grievously
misunderstood. Because we quo5ed
Byron, Goldsmith, and others it was
no earthly reason to suppose that
their sentiments met our complete
endorsement. 1t is true that we de-
clared the chief obstacle to a more
general and genuine friendship to be
the demon of selfishness that broods
over and darkens our higher thoughts
and aspirations. But this is by no
means always true. We have enjoy
ed. and still enjoy, friendships "caim
as the night and deep as the sea-;
friendships founded not on what we
which viii continue despite all the
Vaccinations OF evil forces and the
rank reports of slanderOus tongues;
friendships which we know would
still be ours-and what an over
whelming thought this is-thOugh
through our own folly or sin or de-
generacy we sank in the foul shadow
OF the Upas tree of disgrace and
shame.
The Journal knows well that such
friends exist throughout the world.
1t is not necessary to go to Leesburg
to find them, as suggested by Editor
Jordan. AS General Law declares.
and he speaks plain American this
time: True friendship cannot be-
defined, it can only De felt. A look,
a silent grasp of the hand are more
eloquent of its existence than all the
words OF all the languages on earth"
True, most true. But, when all is
said and done, there is not near
enough of it: is there, brothers?

Law TO REMOVE BODIES
AUTHORITY WANTED IN CASE
OF OLD CEMETERIES.
Health Officer Recommends Congress
sional Action to Cover South
east Contractors Case.

Health Ohicer W. C. Woodward has
recommended to the Commissioners that
Congress be requested to enact law
allowing the removal OF bodies from
abandoned cemeteries or parts of ceme-
teries when it is impossible to obtain the
consent Of the legal representative or
nearest relative of the deceased. At
present the law allows such removal only
upon the consent Of nearest relatives or
legal representatives. Commissioner
Macfarland has approved this recon-
mendatiCn.
This question came up in connection
with an application Of Attorney Andrew
Lipscomb, counsel for Henry c. Freitag.
for permission to remove the bodies from
the abandoned cemetery of the Ebenezer
African cemetery at 18th and G streets
southeast. Mr.. Frietag bought the prop
erty for building lots. and when he began
construction operations the workmen I'M
earthed many. bodies After lnvestsa.
ton. it was found that the removal OF
the bodies was permissible only by con-
gressional enactment.
When the matter was referred to the
corporation counsel he recommended that
il such conditions are met frequently a
general amendment to the District code
was preferable to special acts for par
ticular cases. Health Ohhcer Woodward
declared that. in his judgment, general
legislation should be enacted providing
ested parties. of bodies from abandoned
cemeteries or parts of cemeteries under
appropriate conditions with respect to the
refinement Of the remains at the ex-
pense Of the party or parties benefited
by sAch removal"
CORPORATION Counsel Thomas will pre-
pare the draft OF a bill to accomplish
this purpose.

BOY KILLS HIMSELF.
Blew Top Of Head OF Because He
Was Not a Pallbearer.

YORK. Pa. March 26.-While his par
ents were absent at funeral yesterday
afternoon Palmer Ehrhart, sixteen years
old, of Potosi, took a shotgun belonging
to his father, loaded it, and then, sitting
in rockingham. blew Off the top of his
head. 1t is supposed that young Ehrhart
took his life because he was not appointed
pallbearer for his cousin. Harry Sea-
christ. whose funeral his parents were at
tending. 1t was observed the night be-
fore that the youth was melancholy when
he learned that he had not been selected
as one Of those to assist in his cousin 9
obsequies.
The suicide occurred I'm the afternoon
and his mother was the first to return
from the funeral. She entered the home
to greet her son. who had been left in
charge Of the house. and was Mortified to
see his almost headless body in the rock
ingchair, with the gun by his side.
Around the room, on the doors. mirrors
and furniture. were spattered pieces Of
flesh and blood. The mother was al
most overcome. She summoned the
neighbors. The father arrived shortly
afterward. and he. too, was almost heart
broken when he saw his sons dead body.
