Beyond the old New York on Manhattan
Island, that is to say portbwards f.om it
across the Harlem II yer, lies the greater
city's new Borough known as the Bronx,
which takes its name from the title river
Bronx, that runs through it. Here the mu-
nicipal authorities have wisely reserved a
large park (Ihe Bronx Park for the use
and enjoyment Of the public. 1t is a we'll
wooded area. through the surface Of which
here and there the base rock, Of mica schist,
protrudes Ill masses, which III bygoue ages
have been rounded and scratched by the
moving ice of q great glacier that brought
down with it, rs grinding ~uateriaI both SIND
and pebbles from higher up. OF this beau
tiful Park a considerable portion is fenced
off as a Geological Garden, while another
portion, which, however, remains a part Of
the open park, is given over to form a Bota-
nical Garden. III the hitter part is IA mag
niticent conservatory and Il fine botanical
museum, a handsome stone building with
valuable collections and an ample allowance
OF space to permit of their enlargement.
The Geological Garden is, however. BIZ
far the greater attraction, There you may
see the tereer carniyorous beasts in their
cages, and the Quieter grass eaters in large
paddocks, where they have something
approaching their natural liberty, Iu the
great bird cage, the hying cage as it is called
You lind among the large birds our familiar
5rlena the brown pelican, not 50 happy per-
h"PS as ne would be flying over Bussin har-
bour and splashing down for an occasional
fish on a breezy day, but c~ortainlv n,ariny
about without any air Of distress. In tu23
Reptile house you may see and hear a rattle
snake shake his rattle at you while you have
the satisfaction Of knowing that between
his spitefullooking eyes and yours there is
a good thick sheet Of plate glass. Then there
are the monkeys, SO suggestive Of Darwin's
theory IN their looks and their ways that we
come away converted, if we have not been
converted before. We go out in the grounds
and see the little grey squirrels, natives Of
the place, running up and down the trees
and the Prairie dogs, not natives, but
imported from the fur West, quite at
home as they pop in and out Of their
little holes in the ground and bark Mt
each other as they sit near their small
doorways. In short we walk around en-.
joying, as we see everybody else is doing,
this liberal provision which the City and the
Geological Society have made for the plea
sure and instruction of the people.

Two paragraphs in the 81. Kits Express,
mentioning an earthquake which occurred in
ST. Kits and st. Martins (probably in some
other islands) shortly after II o'clock on
Christmas Eve, attracted our attention be-
cause the same shock in a much mildel form
was felt here. 1t was felt at about the same
time and the shock seemed, as there, to pass
about east and west. So far as we could
learn at the time it was not felt
by many persons; but it was unmis-
takeable for those who did feel it, and it is
interesting to notice that the distance Of
the islands apart is over one hundred miles.
Stronger SHOCKS are feItA of course, much
farther, and when the tremors have become
By distance too faint for human nerves to
note them, they can be felt and recorded by
instruments 50 sensitive that they take note
of shocks that have travelled even through
or round the entire globe.

From the selections Of the 81. 1homoe

If there is one time in the whole
prosaic Year that is thoroughly and
completely dedicated to reverfe among
us all, that time Is Christmas eve.
There may not be much poetry, nor
yet much sentiment in your soul, and
you may live quite regularly through
the remaining three hundred and six
ty-four days, but show me the sea-
soned man or woman with average
intelligence whose memory is not
crowded with the ghosts of forgot
ten times on Christmas eve, and will
show you a human monstrosity.
All the happy Christmases away
back yonder with the home folk haunt
you; all the wrath faces Of friends
and times that are forever gone; some
of the Christmases that were SAD
stand out persistently before you, be-
cause when sadness comes at Christ
mas time. the contrast is a shocking
thing lhat follows you relentlessly to
mock you once a year in your Christ
mas dreaming.
Foolish and queer as you may take
it to be, the special memory Of that
gorgeous candy apple with its SUSPECT
Gus looking green sugar leaves that
you found in your Christmas stocking
more than a score Of years ago, unex-
pectedly comes to your mental vision,
with sudden and surprising distinct
ness.
That tragic Christmas eve when
you, in a moment of maturer de-
cision, decided plump against Santa
Claus, and failed to hang up your
stocking, for the very first bleak, dis
appointing time in your tender years.

LIBERTY AND RIGHTS A
FORCE IN ESCAMBiA COUNTY

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Through agitation before the public
the evils of different kinds are grad
ually rfghted, and for this purpose
write these few lines in regard to n
subject now before the people, viz.
The fee system in payment Of deputy
sheriffs etc. We call our beloved United
States The land of the free and the
home Of the brave" Such a farce
when some of our law and officers are
investigated.
Many of the readers of your paper
read the article signed Charles Dell,
In a recent issue. Today's paper de-
tails another case practically the same
in regard to two boys II years of age,
taken up for vagrancy. In nine cases
out Of every ten, these persons ar
rested for vagrancy are unfortunates
who are down in the world and going
from place to place looking for work
and when fortune favors them with a
job, they are more useful to the world
at large than all the vultures under
the guise Of officers of the law, who
do nothing usually but lay around
looking for some unfortunate, who is
guilty of no misdemeanor, other than
not having work, but by arresting the
innocent persons, they get paid for
their trouble.
Sometimes instead of vagrancy, the
charge of train riding is brought
against them, and the taxpayers
have to pay the costs for pro-
tecting a poor little railroad and es-
pecially one that has held this part of
our fair state in a death grip, sitting
all competition and bleeding the peo-
pie by extortionate rates. The fee
system reminds me of a lot of blow
flies buzzing around for their share in
a dead carcass, but the flies are more
honorable, when compared to a lot of
human beings, exploiting some of their
unfortunate brothers for the paltry
fees they get by such humanity It
Is time the human people should
change this state of affairs. How near
true are the words of the poet; Mans
inhumanity to man makes countless
millions mourn"

that the mornings surprises would be
fewer and of a more practical nature
perhaps than you might have wish

The memories crowd in and they

Unbfdden, unwelcome, some Of

The queen of those happiest Christ

1t was her splendid ideas; her
planning to get the most out Of the

purse strings of Santa Claus; her
beautiful, half serious, half poetic
mind, that preserved the real atmos-
phere of Christmas, doing it all so
quietly, so covertly, too, to throw the
Christmas mystery about you, that
you, in your childishness, wove fairy

FOR A BURGLAR
OFFICER SiGARI, HEARING sUS-
PIcIoUS NOISE, AND REcEIV-
ING NO RESPONSE TO COM
MAND TO HALT, FIRES SEVER
AL SHOTS IN THE DARKNESS
AND HITS TARGET.

Although Omcer Dan Sigari has
only been on the police force q few
weeks, he proved his ability as a
narksman. when yesterday morning
about o'clock, his beat was visited
by burglar" which the officer
promptly dispatched, and after seeing
his victim fall, discovered that he had
shot and killed a horse.
On1cer Sigar was patrolling his
beat when he heard noise like some
one prowling around in the rear of
the store at the corner Of Romano
and DeVilliers streets. Fastening to-
ward the noise. the officer asked who
was there. : but received no reply.
About this time he saw something
moving, which he thought was a man
attempting to jump over the fence and
escape. Officer Sigari then gave the
command to halt, and as the figure
did not stop, he drew his revolver and
fired several shots. As he ceaser firing
he saw and heard his victim fall.
The oflcer went over to where the
intruder had fallen, and, to his sur
prise, found that he had killed the
horse belonging to the man who con-
ducts the store back Of which the ac-
cident occurred.
In firing after he had given the
command to halt, under the circum-
stances, the officer did not exceed his
authority as q policeman, and proved
that burglars are liable to be given
q warm reception on his beat

A. r. BINGHAM AGAIN
DISCUSSES PENSION BILL

Editor Penacola Journal:
In your editorial of this morning on
Senator Bryan and the pension BILL
you do the same as the senator, taken
an insulated case, and even In that
case you advance the only argument
need. If the Veteran did not want the
pension, that was the end of it. It
was his. He had bought it, and paid
for 1t. The government could not give
1t to him. 1t could only pay to him
his own. Now, you say, after a time
he became unable to work, he took the
pension. undoubtedly a small one,
probably s12 per month. Probably he
has a wife to care for. old like himself
and $12 per month don't go very far
for two people or one either.
About four years ago, certain pen
sions were increased and a small num-
Der Of men were made eligible for pen
sions, who were not eligible, under the
terms OF their enlistment That much
the government has given to the old
soldiers. All the rest of the pensions
has only been paying a written con-
tract just as much as paying the bonds
Issued by the government. The new
pension bill will only benefit men over
So years old. and will make but a
meagre living for an old man and his
wife, IL he is so unfortunate as to be
dependent on 1t.
I note what you say about the badge
OF honor. but that don't put any tur-
nips in the pot. Perhaps you can sug-
gest some way to separate the de-
serving ones so they may be adequate
ly rewarded.
You say you do not believe the men
who fought the battles Of the Civil war
approve of the bill recently passed by
the house, you can easily know
whether they do. You can commune
cate with twenty-five Of them in one
hour and then say that you know
whether they approve of the bill or
not. Further you can communicate
with twenty five Confederate Veterans
and I ventue to say twelve of them
will tell you they would not oppose

PLAIN STATEMENTS ABOUT
KIDNAPPING BY OFFICER

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The above caption might lead one 10
suppose this to be a chronicle of the
arrival of twins at the home of some
twins-Not SO. 'Tis only brief COM
ment upon a topic already discussed
by Vox Populi column writer's in The
Journal. The kidnapping of INDECENT
men and boys by inconseqCential in
dividuals clothed with bit OF official
authority.
These arrests of unemployed stran-
gers within our gates are made "ac-
cording to law granted. But COM
mon sense and humanity to man tran
sends all the laws ever enacted and
certainly 1t is common sense to forego
arresting Flooding strangers upon our
public road or even when walking ties
seeking employment and it is difficult
to conceive how a human being, him
self from the ranks Of the working
class, can be so contemplate as to
take into custody an itinerant individ-
ual and subject him to Jail sentence
solely for the sake of the fee involved.
Fee indeed. It is graft. plain graft
and tainted" graft at that. No blood
money was ever more heniously or dis
honestly extorted than by this per-
nicious practice of preying upon the
poverty and misery of the jobless
derelicts upon the sea of toll.
Men do not usually leave home,
however cherries they may be, to
jaunt over the country for recreation's
sake but from circumstances over
which they have no control and to be
thus apprehended by vicious minions
Of avaricious sheriffs is a valuable
commentary upon our Christian civil
lization.
Besides the immediate insult and
disgrace of the person arrested, there
is the possibility of loved ones some
where at home waiting and watching
for a message from the father or
brother saying, '1 have a job" and
when this message is delayed through
a sixty or ninety day Jail sentences,
consider the anxiety, suffering and
want entailed through the inconcefv-
able meanness Of some little petty
official who probably cannot sign his
name without Gambling his tongue in
a carrcature Of a cork screw
When children are stopped from
seeking employment as is related in
Saturdays Journal, the case takes on
added interest since the Incarceration
of children does not endear them TO
the ethics of modern society, but does
arouse in them spirit Of resentment
that starts them on a career of crime
and visciousness.
The law that makes these arrests
possible is a contemplate one but the
human hyenas who prey upon poverty
under it's guise are more contempt"
ible in the eyes of self respecting men
who love justice and g. deal of rectang-
ular contour.

the bill. You claim to give the opinion
of the people you need not go wrong
in this matter.
Possibly you will say I am fighting
my own battles; that l am one OF
those would-be disgraceful pension
grabbers anyway. To certain extent
that is so Except I do not see the
disgraceful point Of it, 1 have been
receiving a pension since 1855, and at
no time since then, has there been a
time when 1 would not have given my
pension and obligated myself to give
as much more as long as l live to be
relieved of the wound that got me the
pension. If my pension should be
raised to 500 per month and I should
live to be 80 years old, I should al
ways feel I had paid the full price for
every cent of it.

Another handsome contribution to
the cause of charity was made Fri
day night, when the local lodge of

poses and to help make the poor and
