Gennett theater next Monday, Sept
18th.
Unlike many of the Musical come
dies Of the day, the author has not re-
lied on the suggestive or vulgar sit
uations or dialogue to make the play a
success. But on pure and unadulter-
ated fun, natural and true to life, and
at the same time introducing musical
numbers that serve to add to the
ging or otherwise interfering with the
plot Of the play.
The author has handled the situa-
tions SO cleverly as to provoke roar
after roar Of laughter from the spec
tator. The idea is excellently car
ried out by the entire company's adj
mirable acting. OF course before the
first act is over, everyone who should
not be there drops in and starts the
fun. The pace becomes so fast and
furious that at times it is almost i'm
possible to follow the dialogue; but
at the end everyone is satisfied with
the manner that fate has dealt with
them, and when the last curtain de-
sends it leaves the spectator in the
happiest frame of mind possible
A metropolitan cast of comedians
and the famous Taxicab Chorus has
been secured by Manager Baker of
the Charles NJ. Baker Amusement
company for this production.

"CHR|ST|ANA RIOT
CELEBRATION HELD
Monument Unveiled on Spot
of Most Bloody Conflict
Before Civil War.
(National News Association

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. with
appropriate exercises and in the pres
ence of large crowd of visitors from
many parts of the state the monument
was unveiled today which the Lancas-
ter Historical society had erected at
Christiana, in the eastern part of this
county, to marke the site of the old
log cabin around which, sixty years
ago, ragged the "Christiana Riot" one
Of the most famous and bloody con-
flicts between slavery and anti-slavery
elements before the civil war
The Christiana riot was the out
growth of an attempt by a Maryland
Shareholder to regain possession Of
four runaway slaves. The negroes,
who were claimed by Edward Gorsuch
as his property, crossed the Susque-
hanna river at the Columbia bridge
and, by means of the famous under.
ground railroad were spirited to the
eastern border of the county, where
they were detained until arrangements
could be made for their transporta-
ton further north.
A negro tavern keeper in Philadel-
phia learned that warrants had been
issued for the arrest of the Gorsuch
slaves and hurried to Christiana to
give the alarm. Then the party, con-
sisting of Marshal Kline, Edward Cor.
such, Dickinson Gorsuch, his son, DR..
Thomas Pearce, nephew, Joshua Cor

ed with their warrants at Christiana
on the morning of September II, 1851,
the fugitives, who were secreted in
the cabin of a negro named Parker,
were prepared for them.
Marshal Kline and Edward Gorsuch
battered down the door of the cabin
and asked the slaves, hidden in the at
tic, to surrender. The negroes re-
fused to surrender and the warrants
were read to them. About this time
Gerstner Hanaway and Elijah Lewis,
two white residents, known for their
strong anti-slavery ideas, appeared up.
on the scene. They were called upon
by the marshal to assist in capturing
the slaves, but positively refused to
lend their hand.
When the marshals party attemp-
ted to storm the attic, the negroes op.
ened fire and Edward Gorsuch was
killed and Dickinson Gorsuch and DR..
Pearce were wounded. oNting that
the cabin was surrounded by armed
negroes, Marshal Kline gave up the
attempt to sapture the slaves.
The Federal authorities promptly
took steps to prosecute the rioters. All
the negroes who participated in the
riot were arrested. together with sew
eral White men, including Hanaway,
Lewis, and Joseph. :, Scarlet. They
were taken to Philadelphia and there
tried on the charge of treason. The
trial lasted fifteen days, and, although
the presiding judges, Grfer and Kane
were strong pro-slavery men, the jury
acquitted the prisoners. What lent ad-
ditional interest to the exercises today
was the presence at the unwilling of
Peter Wood, negro, who, as boy
took part in the riot, armed with a
corn cutter. The family of Edward
Gorsuch was also represented.

FIGHT ENDS TO-DAY
Long Campaign on Whether
to Retain Constitutional
Prohibition.


PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 9.-One of
the most bitterly fought and most
strenuous campaigns ever known to
New England ended in this state to-
day and on Monday the voters Of
Maine will decide by their ballots
whether the policy of constitutional
prohibition OF the liquor traffic, which
has prevailed for more than quar-
ter of century, shall be retained or
not. Both Sides in the fight have
been extremely active and for many
weeks the state has been flooded
with campaign literature. Meetings
for and against the proposition to
eliminate prohibition as a constitu-
tional feature were held by the score
divided upon the question and each
side devoted columns to arguments
| and attacks. Speakers of both parties
presented their respective sides to
thousands of attentive listeners and
even women and children were drown
Into the agitation by the prohibition
! element.
Constitutional prohibition, in which
Maine was the pioneer, was first adop-
ted in 1884. In 1901 a bill for the re-
submission OF the subject was before
sthe legislature, but was defeated. In
1907 a similar proposition was again
de feated, but only by narrow mar
gin. But at the last election a Demo-
lcratic governor and a Democratic leg
s1slature were elected and resubmis-
sion was voted. The issue will be de-
cided next Monday, but, although
both sides claim victory, the result Of
the election is extremity doubtful.

Pensacola, Fla, July IS, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Will you kindly publish this as an
open letter to the board of public
works Of this city.
To the Board of Public Works, City Of
Pensacola, Fla.
BY reading the city papers 1 see
where you have decided to dispense
with the services of the assistant
plumbing inspector after August 1, and
from reading the articles on the above
subject l am lead to believe that you
have taken this action as one of
economy. I do really believe you
gentlemen are under the impression
that there is not enough work in the
office for both the plumbing inspec-
tor and his assistant and in that
heartily agree with you. But, have
you investigated the reason why this
scarcity of work prevails in this Office
If you have not 1 am in position to
state to you that those conditions are
brought about by the fact that the
city ordinances governing his class of
work are not being enforced and look
ed after as they should be.
Now, If you gentlemen will only in
vestigate for yourselves or appoint a
committee to meet with me at any
time or place l will gladly go over the
city with them and show them better
than l can tell where gross negligence
exists. that someone is responsible for,
to the detriment of the health of the
entire public.

WANTS BRIDGE BUILT
AT BLUFF SPRINGS

Century, July "a, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners:
I put in a plea Of consideration in
regard to a bridge across the Escambia
river. l am with a big majority of the
people of the county. We need a bridge
If we can get it at the right place for
the most people to get the benefit of it
and say the best place for the bridge
is at Bluff Springs. My reason for it
is this, l am we'll acquainted with the
river from the state line to Ferry
Pass and know lot about the swamp.
1 have been in it on all stages of
water, and that is the cheapest place,
highest point and will do the most
people the most good there than at
the farmers, and will help built up the
county there as much or more than
any other point on the river.
Now, as to the Pensacola automobile
owners, it will be farther to go to cross
it. but they have a good road all the
way up there, and automobiles should
not be considered in this bridge propo-
sition. We want to be fair but we all
know a man can go farther to cross a
bridge in an automobile than he can in
wagon and be fair with the country
people, for the farmers are the back
bone of the country, and why not help
them?
That is what is the matter, there are
not enough inducements for farmers.
We need more farmers instead of au-
tomobiles, and both counties would be
better off. The farmers would be bet
ter off without a bridge to pay for
than to have it built away down at
the mouth of the river, where there
isn't much farming done and we all
know the bridge to benefit both coun-
ties the most ought to be built where
there is farming land above and below
it on both sides of the river, then the
farmers can get the benefit of it and
they are the ones who need it.
This is the best point for the bridge
and then later if you want to build a
bridge near town for autos that can be
CONSTRUCTED later.

A Tribute to the Memory
of DR.. G.. O. Chunn
By Louise Palmer Smith.

The late esteemed DR.. c. o. Chunn
was for many years a reader Of The
Pensa cola Journal and for thirty years
a citizen of Florida. Many of the best
men of that state were numbered
among his friends, and hundred of the
best families of your section remember
him as I learned to know him. kind,
patient, liberal and second to none in
his chosen profession.
The news of his death just reached
me in my Tennessee home, through the
Times Democrat. You can never know
how personal the shock and sorrow
was to me. l had gone to him in so
many hours of need, for sympathy and
advice, that it seemed something warm.
lovable and priceless had gone out of
my life forever.
l shall never forget my first meeting
with DR.. Chunn. 1 was tired, body
and soul, a stranger in a strange land.
long Journey and an Indifferent well
come had done their worst. 1t was
then l met DR.. Chunn, courtly, gra
cious and cordial old time southerner
that he was. His hearty greeting gave
me new life. l remember saying some
thing about my own fathers being a
doctor. His pleasant laugh and warm
hand clasp assured me l had found a
friend. There was balm in Gillead
after all. Time proved that no matter
what the nature of his being sought,
he was found to be a fortress never
failing. He was modest, sensitive and
reticent. Always waiting to be sought.
yet how easily found was a depth of
tenderness, sympathy and Christian
charity, touching and beautiful to be-
hold in one mellowed by sixty years of
life's varied experiences.
He was close observer. This,
added to a retentive memory and the
habit of close and untiring reading
throughout life, had stored his mind
with a wealth of valuable knowledge
and information. The secret was in
touching the right spring.
We had been so closely and so hap
PLY associated, l sat for hours alone
after reading Of his death. Memories
came flooding back; memories tender
and wistful, of all the time 1 had
known him.
Our evenings together I now recall
as evenings amidst unveiled treasures.
In spirit I went with him on some
happy jaunt, across a ripping Floridian
bay-the lights, the music. the laughter
were as real as had l made one of that
merry party in the long ago. Then the
delightful fishing and camping trips
the white topped sand mounds, the
dainty seashells, the beautiful sunset
clouds, the enjoyable surf bathing in
the snow capped waves. How beau
tifully they were described, and how
we were made to feel his love for his
Florida home.
Another evening we would be given
glimpses of his boyhood in Alabama,
an old swimming pool. A cane and
