MINISTER DEFENDS

High Class.

One OF the most sensible articles
which have as yet come 10 light in con
nectiOn with boxing and prize-dghting

Of a minister, the Rev Dr. p L Conee.
OF Pittsburg- Here is what he has 70
say on the subject.
I went 10 AICkeeSporr the other 1sv

In the Grst place. there was nothing in
the four bouts of tHe evening thar could
be termed brutal a football contest is
far more grueEng- The men who con
tested were trained for the occasion.
W bile two men were knocked out y-et
a minute later both climbed out Of the
ring and walked 10 the dressing-room.
The audience was a surprise To me.
Those IN attendance showed every out
ward sign Of respecJabiiity- The major
ity were men in middle age. business
people, and quite a few professional
men The policemen in attendance had
nothing 70 do, and there was nothing 10

a manly art There are few forms. OF
athletics that can excel the benefits OF
boxing for the development of strength
and there can be little objection 10
friendly contests where the end in view
is the Improvement OF the physi1ue. The
subject OF prize fighting has been
brought 10 the front By the FIGHT Of Jef-
fries and johnson on Independence Uav.

Doctor COdee's objection to The JET

. 'BEAUT|FY
SUGGESTION
FROM MAYOR
RECLAMATION WILL COME
FROM cITYs OFFICE, CALLING
ON SHOWING OF CIVIC PRIDE.

One Of the early intentions of
Mayor Reilly, after he reaches the
city from New York today or tomor-
row, is to consider the early advisable
ity Of issuing identifying" procla-
nation, and 1t was stated in good
sources yesterday that the date will
be made not later than the end of the
present month. Previous notice of
the intention of the mayor to offer
such suggestion by means of an Of
fetal letter or proclamation, has been
given herein, the reason for delaying
such having been the uncompleted
paving and sewer work Now that
all the streets have been improved,
the mayor will hold conference with
interested civic league workers short
ly, and the proclamation may be an
early result.
The idea is to issue a proclamation
calling upon all citizens to devote one
or two days In identifying the streets
Immediately fronting upon their
homes. 1t was at first decided to di-
rect or address such suggestion to
property owners, but many homes
which have been rented and which
have been occupied long time pre-
sent some Of the most beautiful of
grounds, and the proclamation will be
addressed to the general public, call
ing upon them to demonstrate their
civic pride in the identifying Of their
properties and thus give impetus to
the general plan of adding beauty to
the city's thoroughfares.
Without awaiting such suggestion
from the mayors Office, many homes
have been transformed into places of
beauty. Grasses and shrubbery have
been planted; flowers, now free from
the dust which clothed them from the
sandy streets, are now given much at
tention and are blooming prettily and
grounds are even worked into pretty
designs, attracting the attention of
citizen and visitor alike. 1t is invaria-
bly, the case that when one resident
starts anything in the way Of i'm
provement of grounds or grass plots,
the next and the next door neighbors
follow, and very soon the entire block
is being changed to beautiful appear

Hundreds of Persons Obtain
ed a Fine View of It
About 10 O'Clock.
ALMOST ACROSS THE
HORIZON, FROM EAST TO WEST
LARGE NUMBERS REMAINED
UP DURING THE NIGHT WATCH
ING FOR FURTHER DEVELOP
MENTS.

Halley's comet, hong looked for and
much talked OF, made another appear
ance last night, and this time it was
more distinct than upon any previous
occasions. 1t extended almost across
the horizon, from east to west, and
was probably viewed by hundreds of
persons. 1t was the first distinct
view obtained of the celebrated comet
at such a size, and it caused much
wonder and speculation. 1t was sched-
uled to make it's appearance between
|S:37 and 1887, and it arrived on
schedule time.
On Palafox street fully a hundred
persons. could be seen within block
eagerly scanning the heavens, and
when the comet finally made it's ap-
pearance the crowds increased. In
every part of the city people left their
homes and went into the streets to
get an unobstructed view of the
comet
Long after the comet had disap-
peared people remained awake and
the Journal telephones were kept con-
stantly ringing until after the mid
night hour by parties anxious to know
if there would be another view of the
comet during the night.
Amusing tnClQSnLSs
Many amusing Incidents occurred
during the afternoon and night, espe-
cially among the more Ignorant class.
Negroes were much exercised over
the comets appearance but more so
in anticipation of what would occur
when the earth passed through the
comets tail. In several places all
night watches were kept, and as a
rule these watchers discussed what
might happen in low and awed tones
These watches did not extend only
through last night, but for several and
even yesterday morning at O'Clock
large numbers of persons were in the
streets watching for the comet
It was a noticeable fact that the
crowds usually on the streets were alb
sent to a large extent, and during the
afternoon there was scarcity of
those who usually visit saloons, pool
rooms and other places. Especially
was the lack OF business in saloons
noticeable.
Special Officer Murphy served
notice upon a negro property owner
yesterday to connect her place with
the sewer system. How long have
got to do this before being arrested 2"
she asked. Sixty days." was the re-
ply. Inen THIS IS one time III beat
the city, for we'll all be dead. That
COMICS coming tomorrow"
A negro walked into q loan shop
yesterday and sought to negotiate a
loan Of $50. When the man in charge
casually asked him what he wanted
that amount for, he said: "Ah'm
going north. You kin have every
thing in my house. Dat COMICS al
mos here. When it hits Pensacola !
wants to be north" He didn't get the
money.
A family on East Hill, desiring to
get a sight of the comet, had no alarm
clock, no telephone, no companionable
neighbors, and didn't want to worry
policeman or Waterman to wake
them up. The inventive mind of the
wife was set to work. She bethought
to place the rooster in the room. They
wake up early nowadays.

BUSY,
Special 70 the Journal

Jacksonville, May 1s.-Complete. un-
official returns from every county IN
Florida show the United States sena-
torial contest to be the closest In the
history of Florida with Broward
having plurality over Taliaferro of
three votes.
Citrus county gave LEngle a plu-
rality.
Both sides are hopeful of a victory
in the second primary, which will be
held on June 7th, and both forces are
hard at work to bring out big vote.
Senator Taliaferro begins his Sec
ond campaign in Duval county speak
ing at the foot of Main street on
Thursday night. Frank Clark, the
able congressman, will also make an
address, and there will be other speak
ers to talk to the crowd. Senator
records were attacked by L'Engle in
the first campaign, and the senator
proposes to defend his actions, and
give to the people the true facts re-
garding his work In the United States
senate.
Broward Busy, Too.
Broward is in South Florida this
week. and Is making his campaign on
the success OF the Everglades project
and free agricultural schools for every
county In Florida.
Taliaferro forces have the best or
ganization, as Broward's headquarters
here have but few at work, but the
latter Is depending on friends in vari-
Gus counties. There will be much
work done on both sides and the gen.
eral opinion is that the contest will
be exciting and spectacular.
Complete Unofficial Vote.
The unofficial vote from all the Flor
ida counties which may or may not be
