CHAIRMAN OF PENSACOLA MARDI

Critics Claim That Figures Haven't

Of Holding a Mass Meeting to
Act On the Matter.

Pensacola, Fla, Februarv Ills the
Pensacola Mardi Gras advertising i'm
proper? That is the question which
certain prudish people are asking
the Carnival Association to answer.
1t seems that Pensacola's Mardi
Gras workers decided to spend a lit
tie more money than usual this year
in advertising the attractions of that
festive occasion and their advertis-
ing committee procured an artist and
had some designs drawn for newspa-
per and billboard advertising which,
in the committees judgement, were
both attractive and artistic. Now
however, some certain supersenitive
persons of exceeding modesty COM
plain that the figures in these adver-
tisements haven't enough clothes on.
and that they are too suggestive, that
they are not really representative of
the Mardi Gras revels and that they
should not be permitted to go out.
chairman Frank L. Mayes, of the
advertising committee, owner of the
Pensacola Journal and Meridian Dis
patch, when seen in reference to the
matter and asked If the advertise
ments were to be called in, said:
Certainly not. Those ADVERTISE
ments have all gone out and we
couldn't call them in If we would. But
In this case, we wouldn't if we could.
The people who are criticising those
pictures simply don't know what thew
are talking about. They don't recog.

BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR.

the Senate at that time was Republi-
can. Partisan politics and sectional
feeling were much stronger then than
now, and the Republican Senate was
reluctant to confirm to so exalted
and important an office a man ap-
pointed by the first Democratic Presi-
dent since the civil war. Republicans
recalled that 1t was the decision OF
Chief Justice fancy and his associates
standing against the acknowledgment
Of the rights of citizenship to a free
man of color, which cast to the arbi-
trament of war the question of the
status of the negro.
Partisan rumors carried hints that
Mr.. Fuller during the civil war, had
not been jealous supporter Of the
Union, and that in ability as lawyer
it was questionable whether he should
be confirmed In the highest judicial
office. Loath to act, the Republicans
controlling the committee held back
the nomination until July 20, and then
reported 1t to the Senate, indorsing,
without recommendation" For three
hours the Senate in executive session
debated the nomination, the opposi-
ton being led by Messrs Edmunds.

Republicans, Messrs. Cullom and Far
wall, supported. giving assurance of

Outstanding the World.

1.-THE Characterization of the Whole
| sionary movement which was inaugurated
three years ago and is interdenomina-
tional in spirit and scope. In November
next a convention Of those interested In
this work will be held in Baltimore, and
1t is expected that thousand delegates
will attend. The movement, as DIR. David
H. Carroll explained at the meeting of the
Ministerial Association Of Baltimore is
one in which the laymen of all Christian
denominations are invited to take an &C.
tive part. In bringing the laymen into
line and making them conspicuous in the
work 1t Is not intended, according to DR..
Carroll, to usurp any Of the prerogatives
or authority Of the ministers Of the
churches, but only to bring about co-op-
eration between clergy and laity.
This project to Christianize the whole
world is, indeed. stupendous one. It's
development will be watched with interest
by the Christian laity of all denomina-
tons. 1t Is movement which also ap-
peals, because Of it's magnitude, to the
Imagination and to the interest of those
churches. Mr.. Joshua lowering, at the
meeting of the Ministerial Union, empha-
sized the importance of enlisting in the
work men Of brains and capacity, able to
deal with great problems. The aggressive
American, he declared, finds nothing that
Is insurmountable.
"If." he said, "a few men in New York,
under the guidance of John D. Rockefe-
Ter. can tin-can the word-as l find these
reminders of the Standard Oil Company
everywhere that t-avel-certainly
enough of us can Christianize the world -
This is an interesting and practical sug-
gestion.

MANY USE GAS MOTORS.
Gasoline Power Popular With oys.
termen and Fishermen.

The adoption of the gasoline power
motor to commercial uses and the reduc-
ton Of the cost OF the engines has put
them within reach Of the oyster dredgers
and fishermen along the Potomac. and
now fully half the larger boats used In
oystering and fishing are so equipped. The
fishermen use power-driven boats to visit
and fish their nets and to carry the catch
to the shipping point, and oystermen
use them in towing the dredge boats and
other work about the beds.
The river steamers bound to this city
are often stopped In midstream by fish
ermen who In a power boat have run
out from the shore to put their catch
aboard the steamer for shipment to the
market here. and who have worked their
nets to within a short time of the sched-
uled arrival of the steamer. the power
boat enabling them to make good speed
and catch her on her way UP the river.
Many of the wood and lumber runners
on the river have power-eQuipped tenders
that save them much time by town.;
them in and out of small streams in
which they go to load and up the river
when the weather Is not favorable for
sailing.
Five years ago there was hardly q
launch used on the. Potomac for CONNER
cfal purposes. Today there are hundreds
of them and the number is increasing
almost daily.

He hoodwinked Cromwell. whom he per-
suaded to send him as ambassador to The
Hague-an appointment he got renewed
after the death Of the Protector, and
again at the restoration.
Ultimately he induced Charles II to
grant him great tract of land at West
minister, the terms including the condition
that the houses to be built upon the
ground so near the royal palace should
be handsome and graceful. He built
pleasant mansions, including one for him
self, between Whitehall and Westminster
Abbey. George Downing died in due
course, and by will bequeathed his man.
