Orpheum Attractions.

Kalbfield'S airdome theatre has al
tracted large audiences every night this
week, and only those who have been
there can imagine the cool comfort of
the place, with only the canopy of heaven
and the twinkling stars for roof, while
the breezeS climb the high metallic fence
and meander through the audience at
will.
Then there has been the orchestra,
the music of which was alone worth
double the price of admission. This
orchestra, composed of Miss Irene LeckS
pianist, Robt. Ray violiniSt, H. c. Becker
clarionet, and Ed Gerber cornetiSt, really
did make some beautiful music, and you
only had to look al the audience to know
it was being enjoyed.
Chas. r. Hendrix and Ethel Mcmahon,
comedy sketch artists, and Grace Was
son, singing and dancing soubrette, oc-
of the week. The first two were ex-
ceplionslly good-the latter, could she
have polished up her voice with Sapolio
or some other antiSeptic, would have
been better, but-what'S the use, she
pleased the crowd.
Last night and for the balance of the
week Will De the casey SlSterS, song
and dance artists, and Richard Harding
mot Davis, tramp comedian-and it's
enough to say the audience is tickled
internally TO the point of spontaneous
outburStS at the conclusion of every act
Next Monday, Tuesday and WedneS-
day nights, Henderson and Sheldon,
musical artiStS-both instrumental and
woodland Babe Pullman, singing SOU
brette, will be on hand, while on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday of next week
Francis Raymond and Isabelle, and Little
TriXie will be the attractions.
In addition to the stage attractions each
night, is a number of very attractive
moving picture displays-these between
the acts.
This theatre is already a more than
popular resort, and its cool comfort is
not the least of its attractions.

INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

The patrons of the public school are
much gratified by the reappointment of

school year.
]. Gornto, formerly of HolliSter, has
moved to the farm of Mrs. Gano, front
ing on Lake Lagonda.
Rev. S. ]. Townsend filled his usual
monthly appointment at Grove Park last

Intern Master Ed Gillett will assist his
father in serving customers at the store.
Mrs. &c. Mullen, of Detroit, Mich,
made the overland trip from Ocala -
Palatka few days since in the big Buick
car operated by Claude Haycraft for the
Burbank Palatka Colony Co., stopping
over night at the Lake View. Mrs. Null
len is greatly pleased with this section
of Florida, has already purchased lands,
and anticipates bringing down a large
party of friends from Detroit who are
looking forward to securing homes in
milder climate than that afforded in De-
troit.
The Woman'S Home Missionary So
ciety held very pleasant and interesting
session at the home of Mrs. Townsend,
on the regularly appointed day.
The young people gathered their
clans together at the home of George
Gillett last Thursday evening for the
purpose of giving Mr.. Fred Steele a
genuine surprise party, and it is reported
that the party was an entire success, if
the surprise part of it was not altogether
perfect. Mr.. Steele will be greatly
missed by the younger people, as. he has
been moving spirit in all their fun
and irolic.
Misses Ola and Nora Fraser spent last
week visiting with relatives and friends
in HolliSter.

Carleton Celebrates Fourth.

The old federal soldier colony a
Carleton, this county, perhaps gave al
much attention to an observance of the
Fourth as any similar sized community
in the state. There were two picnics-
one for the whites and one for the col
| ored people. Fully 200 attended the
white, and it is estimated that 500 were
at the colored picnic.
After their picnic dinner the young
white people went to Carlton hall and
spent the afternoon in a social dance,
the music being furnished by Harry
West of Melrose.
The colored picnic was attended by
the negroes from the country all around
Carleton, and the principle feature was
base ball game between the mines of
lnterlachen and Edgar, the latter win
ming by score of II to 10. ]. H. Mon
roe had charge of the colored picnic.
There was grand display of fire
works at night, something that many
of the colored people had never wit
messed before, and one can imagine how
they enjoyed ii.
Harry West and his mother, of Mel
rose, were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
Z, Smith over the Fourth and fifth.
Mark Harrington has lately returned
to Carleton from short visit to his for
mer home, Whitman, Mass

MARTIN GRIFFIN
PASSES AWAY.
Was for 27 Years One of Pa
latka's Leading Merchants.

Mr.. Martin Griffin Sr. for more thar
rs years identified with the commercial
and financial interests of Palatka, dice
at the home of his brother-in-law. Mr.
J. ). Smith jr., Jacksonville, at 5 O'Clock
wednesday morning. Death was due tc
heart disease.
Mr.. Griffin had been in poor health
for more than year and during the past
several months had had frequent sink.
ing spells About the first of last month
he had one that was particularly severe,
and from which he never fully rallied.
He had hoped to recover sufficient
strength TO enable him to get to the
higher altitude of Knoxville, Tenn, but
was unable TO do so. He and Mrs.
Griffin went to Jacksonville about a
month ago. Mr. Griffin and the other
members of the family have all along
realized the serious nature of his illness,
as have his friends, and TO them the an
nouncement of his death, while not in
the nature OF surprise, is nevertheless a
shock.
News of Mr.. Griffin's death came by
wire to his son, Mr.. John T. Griffin
about o'clock Wednesday morning.
When the News called at the house Rev.
Father Barry was with him. They could
tell nothing definite regarding the fu-
neral arrangements, but presumed that
the funeral would occur from St. Mary's
Catholic church, Jacksonville, and that
the interment would also be in that city,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Griffin have
daughter buried. His pastor, Rev.
Father Barry, was TO officiate by request
of the deceased, made some time ago.
Mrs. Griffin who has been with her
husband all through his illness, was with
him when the end came. His son,
Martin Griffin jr., of Los Angeles, Cal,
arrived several days ago and was also
present. Mr.. John T, Griffin who has
charge of the business here, spent Sun
day and Monday with his father, who
showed no change when he left for
home.
II was only some three weeks ago
that, in speaking of Mr.. Griffin's illness,
the News said of him
MIR. Griffin has been a resident of
Palatka for n years or more, and had
interests here even longer than that.
For many years he has conducted large |
hardware business, besides being
heavy realty holder and vice president
and director of the Putnam National
bank.
He has always taken deep interest
in the moral and religious advancement
of the people and place, and his influ-
ence has been potent in every good
work. One of the most recent examples
Of this influence was in the wet and dry
election of two years or more ago, when
his voice and counsel was for ridding
Palatka and Putnam county of the whiS-
ky evil.
Mr.. Griffin was devout adherent of
The Catholic faith, man of broad and
liberal views and intensely patriotic.
He was one of Palatka's most wealthy
men.
There is general and sincere sorrow
IN Palatka because of his death and deep
with Mrs. Griffin and the
wo sons, Martin, of Los Angeles, Cal,
md John T. of this city, who constitute
he sole surviving members of the i'm,
mediate family.

COUNTY BOARD
LIFTS TAX VALUES
City and Country Property
Both Come in for Slight
Raise.

The meeting of the board OF county
commissioners which adjourned Wed
neSday night had been in session eight
days. Two days were required for the
regular monthly business; the other six
days were spent in equalizing taxes on
real estate principally, but some also on
personal property.
The raise on no one piece of property
was heavy, but very many pieces were
raised some, and the total will add 10
The assessed valuation OF county proper
ty nearly 1872, 900.
This will increase the revenues of the
county about s., 500 year.
The list which will be found in this
issue of the News was not an easy task
for the commissioners. No one can say
they didn't do full days work. While
making out the list the board worked
nearly every night 10 from 9 to II
o'clock.
The board believed that many pieces
OF property were assessed 100 low in
proportion with other property and it
made a clean scrutiny of the entire
county.
The fact that taxes were raised some
last year and that considerable raise in as
seSsments has been made this year, does
not mortise perfectly with the pre-
election statements made by the advo-
Gates of the recent county bond issue,
and many who opposed that measure are
doing some talking.
One man said that the raise was made
necessary, not by the bonds, but because
of the high price of tightening rods and
other things that were not originally
contemplated.
But the board insists that the increased
assessment was made because many
pieces of property were altogether too
low, and that the work should have
been done years ago.
There will be some kicking-there
always is no matter what is done. But |
the present board is used TO that sort O
thing.

CLYDE LINE NOW
ON the RACK.
Palatka Board of Trade Will
Insist on Waiting Room.

AT the meeting of the Palatka board
OF trade on Monday night that body, By
resolution, determined to go after the
Clyde Line of Steamers in demand fol-
a suitable waiting room in Palatka.
Some hot speeches were made, that oi
Mayor Davis being the most vigorous.
The resolution was passed unanimously
and there was large attendance OF
business men at the meeting. Some
went so far as to voice their determine
tion TO boycott the line unless some
thing was done in the way of providing
suitable waiting room facilities for Pa
latka passengers. The line has never
had waiting room here and as passen-
ger boats pass Palatka at night wait
ing room is not an unreasonable demand.
The situation is complicated. The
river front where the Clyde boats land
belongs to the Hart estate, manged by R.
H. Thompson of Bawsten. Capt. r. ].
Adams has been tenant of the Harris
for many years, and is agent for the
Clyde's. He is opposed to any change
In the present arrangements.
Thompson likes to take in money but
he hates like sin to blow it even for i'm
provements
The board of trade has membership
of more than hundred of our best bust
ness men, and now that this organization
has taken the matter up there is chance
that something will be accomplished,
even though the situation be compli-
Gated. The board has appointed COM
mittee consisting of Mayor Davis, Col.
H. M. de Montmollin and +. H. Wilson.
This committee is going to Jackson
ville-if il hasn't already gone--and will
have talk with the Clyde management.
The News understands that the COM
mittee had in view plan to secure an
river frontage of Martin Grif-
fin, but the death of that gentleman will
make delay necessary, but the matter
will eventually be taken up with his
estate.
The demands of the public are larger
Than those OF any one, or several, indi-
1idualS. The new Palatka unqueStiona-
bly, does demand something in the way
of waiting room facilities at the Clyde
line dock, and the people will undoubt-
idly support the efforts of this commit
ee representing our leading commercial
organization.
Capt. R. ]. Adams, local agent of the
clyde Line, when seen regarding the
Iction of the board of trade said:
That's the dukes kick, and he's
chronic damphool. What do you think
If proposition TO build waiting room
O cost thousand dollars a year, with a
anitor, when the company's passenger
BUSINESS in the same time doesn't
moust to over $200-it's all damphool-
Shness."

Mr.. Thompson's Petition.

"Rear Admiral -. Thompson of Baw.
Ston, general manager of the Oklawa.
ha line of flat boats, whose petition to
Congress to divert the money recently
appropriated for Federal building at
Palatka, TO deepening of the St. Johns
river as being the most important, was
referred to in the News last week, has
sent the petition to the News for in
Spection.
And this inspection has been made.
The News made one mistake-Mr.
Thompson actually circulated the peti-
ton until those whom he approached
actually laughed at him SO hard that he
withdrew it.
The petition sent 10 this offece by Mr..
Thompson is not EXACTLY the one
he circulated. The parts that got him
laughed at have been Eliminated. The
balance reads as if it might have been
prepared by party with wheels in his
attic.
And yet there are several signatures
to it.
Which goes TO prove that some people
will sign anything TO get rid of being
talked 10 death-a most horrible death.

"A REAL Joy" RIDE
A Putnam County Auto Party's
Experience Constitutes as well
A Genuine Endurance Run.

, Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Crosby of San
Mateo, left Palatka on the morning of
July 4th in their Z. M. T. 80 touring car
for trip TO Maine. They had with them
as guests Mr.. and Mrs. ChaS S. Gowen
of Crescent City
The party left Palatka in high spirits
and in full anticipation of most enjoy
able trip. They were in no especial
hurry, and would stop when weary at
some wayside inn, and enjoy the scenery
as they passed along historic roads.
That the party during the first week
OF the trip did not realize TO the full all
the pleasures they had so foadly an.
ticipated, is evident from the following
letter TO the editor of the News, written
by Mr.. Gowen last Monday. He says:
Lawrenceville, Ga, Monday,
July nth, 1910.
Dear Russell:
Possibly you would like to know
where the Crosby-Gowen combination
is now located. The first three days
after leaving Palatka constituted night
mare. Heavy sand and flatwoods roads
full OF water, and the numerous branches
ditto. We took everything on the fly
and only got stuck once, breaking front
spring, which was replaced at Starke,
Fla. From the latter place to White
Springs, heavy roads, with waShouts and
gullieS, to Jasper. From Jasper TO Val
doSta we went through water most of
the way. After that not so bad through
south Georgia, via Triton TO Macon.
We went lis miles one day.
This whole country has had steady
rains for several weeks, and it is raining
hard right now.
We hit Atlanta Sunday noon and put
out again after a couple of hours.
Camped at Stone Mountain over night.
1t was great-grand view, good water
and first place we found where there
was no mosquitoes to speak of.
climbed the mountain and saw the sun
rise this morning.
The Georgia roads up to Atlanta were
pretty good as whole, but the worst we
have seen anywhere are from Atlanta to
this point-red clay bogS-awful. All
hands get out and walk frequently, and
we are working our way. Bound for
Greencville, S. c., next The next time
come this way in an auto it will be
sitting in an auto in freight car.
All we'll, but rather tough looking
crowd-ladieS excepted. Good people
and fine farms all along the way.
A few days with no rain will change
the condition of roads and they will be
as good as they are now bad.
Yours truly,
q. S. GOwEN.
Lawrenceville is in Gwinnett county,
Ga, midway between Atlanta and Ath-
ems. From what the News recollects of
the roads, it has the impression that its
Putnam county friends are not yet out
of the mud, and at their best the next
several hundred miles will prove "rocky
roads" to travel.
When Mr.. Crosby next meets with
his fellow bond trustees in road discus
sion, he will have more OF practical than
theoretical experience.
