MING AT SIX O'CLOCK - COM
MTTTEE TO BE APPOINTED AND
OTHER MATTERS TO BE DIS
POSED OF.

A regular meeting Of the board of
public works will be held tonight at
six o'clock in the office of the city
clerk. and this being the first meet
ing since the Inauguration of the new
members, number Of important mat
tiers will receive the attention of the
board.
One Of the most important matters
to be disposed of is the selection of a
chairman. 1t is not at all probable,
however, that any change will occur
in this Office, as the present chair
man, DR.. Louis de M. Blocker has been
very efficient and proper chairman
since he has served in that capacity.
He was elevated to that position sew
eral months ago when T. A. Jen-
nings resigned from the board
After the selection of the chairman
1t will be devOlved upon him to ap-
point the various committees of the
board. In addition to the foregoing,
there will be the usual routine bust
ness and a number of other matters
are on the calendar for consideration

ADJUSTMENTS.
Mr.. Cartwright at the orpheun,.


AS the special feature act at the Or
pheum theatre last night Manager Lew
Rose, who is himself an old time vau
deville performer, and Mr.. Hyde, with
Hyde and Raymond, produced a clever
and entertaining act entitled 'All
Right Mr.. Cartwright" The act was
q comedy sketch and from the ap-
plause that the two popular actors re-
ceived 1t is very evident that 1t was
popular with patrons of the house from
the very first.
The original slides of the great Coney
Island fire continue to attract no little
attention at this popular vaudeville
house this week and the announ cement
that they are being shown in Pensa-
cola has brought many persons to the
Orpheum this week who otherwise
might have missed seeing this weeks
all-sta program. The showing of the
great Coney Island fire is made more
interesting each time by the interest
ing and instructive lecture that Man
ager Rose gives explanatory of each
slide as 1t is shown.
Hyde and Raymond continue to
amuse the large audiences that have
been present at every performance thus
far this week, with their funny and
clever sketch entitled, His Best pal"
The couple carry with them the largest
Billiken ever manufactured and when
it is uncovered on the stage it always
makes a decided hit wieh the children.
At Saturday afternoons children's
matinee the Billiken will be given a
more conspicuous part on the program
for the express purpose of pleasing the
| little ones. Manager Rose has also an
! nounced that he has secured a picture
| film of unusual interest that he will
show the children at their matinee next
Saturday. The picture is one of those
that appeal especially to the children
and in addition to being filed with
most interesting situations it has an
| educational value that will make all
parents who accompany their children
| to the matinee glad that they came.
Tonight is amateur night and 1t is
expected that the program will be even
more interesting than usual. Tony
Klumker, while he cannot be classed
as an amateur, will go on by special
request of several of his friends and
several novices in the vaudeville game
have announced their intention of also
| appearing. There is no doubt but that
tonight's performance will be one of
unusual interest from beginning to end.

CORPORATIONS SHOULD BE
UNDER FEDRAL CONTROL
BY Associated Press.

Charlottesville, Va, June 15.-Corpo-
rations engaged in interstate business
should be under federal control Such
was the policy advocated by Freder-
lex w. Lehman. solicitor general of
the United States in an address last
evening to the graduating class at the
University of Virginia
The greatest influence Of the corpo-
atoms on business operations was in
dicated by Mr.. Lehman. Yet, he said,
little had been done by the govern
ment in the way Of regulating the cor
porations, save to keep a watchful
eye on the banks. Though public util-
ity corporations had been regulated
to the service and charges, no super
vision over their capitalization or
their internal affairs had been direc-
ted. Other great corporations-mer
camille, industrial and miscellaneous
which number more than 5000
with a capitalization of 5000, 0o0,-
600. practically had been regulated In
no way.

New Orleans, La, June 15.-Accord-
ing to prominent cotton planter who
has just returned here after a two
weeks trip through various parts of
the cotton belt, grasshoppers in large
quantities are beginning to attack the
cotton crop in sections of Louisiana

Every woman's heart responds to
the charm and sweetness of a baby's
voice, because nature intended her for
motherhood. But even the loving
nature of mother shrinks from the
ordeal because such time is regard
ed as periodof suffering and danger.
Women who use Mothers Friend are
saved much discomfort and suffering,
and their systems, being thoroughly
prepared by this great remedy, are
in a healthy condition to meet the
time with the least possible suffering
and danger. Mothers Friend is
recommended only for the relief and
comfort of expectant mothers; it is in
no sense a remedy for various ills,
but its many years of success, and
the thousands of endorsements re-
ceived from women who have used 1t
are a guarantee of the benefit to be
derived from its use. This remedy
does not accomplish wonders but sim
ply assists nature to perfect its work.
