with a worthy man, and falling asleep
dreams of the romance of her own
youth, the courtship, the duel that
was fought for her sake, the happy
marriage, and as the title announces:

The picture is a masterpiece and
will delight especially those who care
for this sort of refined pictured ro-

with the patrons OF the Elite there
can be no doubt, for its the best class
of Pensacola's population that patron

add considerably to the charm of this

The interest focused upon the ap
preaching open air performance of
the Coburn Players, on the evening Of
Wednesday, April Goth, is causing
mare than passing comment. This is
the first sylvan performance Pensacola
has ever witnessed. and to have the
greatest artists in this particular art
for such an innovation has already
started society to centre its ring So
cial calendar beginning with this i'm
portant occasion. When the Coburn
Players appeared on June 23th, 1910.
on the White House grounds as the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Taft, society
turned out en- masse for the perform
ance, resulting in the Washington
Post declaring the occasion the social
event of the season. That the summer
night festival of these noted artists
will be the event of the social set in
Pensacola, is an assured fact already.
Within a day or two announcement
will be made Of the spot to be select
ed upon which the delightful pastoral
will be given. A committee has been
selected by the Associated Charities
to secure the most picturesque place
for such a performance.

musicale given at the San Carlos con-
vention hall for the benefit of the
Charity hospital.
The cause was such a worthy one.
and the friends of Mrs. Kessler and
her lady assistants so numerous, that
the very best talent of the city re-
sponded to the invitation to take part
in the brilliant affair, with the re-
suit that an evening sparkling with
really good things was enjoyed by a
generous sized audience. The Charity
hospital is one of Pensacola's pet
propositions and when a call comes
from the ladies for assistance, there
are few who are not willing to re-
spond. Very little expense was in
CURED in connection with last nights
event, with the happy result that
good sum was realized. All of the
numbers on last nights program were
star productions. The musicians sang
and played their best, and the readers
were heard to happy advantage. The
fact that they were lending their best
efforts in sweet charity's cause, too
seemed to make the moments fly fast

Death Rate of Last Week Exceeds

taEious Diseases Mark Reopen
ing of the Schools.

Although there has been a gradual i'm
proyement in regard to the registration
of births. the records of the health de-
partment are still incomplete. according
to the weekly, report made public yester-
day. The department urges that all
births be reported Immediately. Persons
failing to comply with the law in this
respect are liable to prosecution.
The report says that great hardship
is frequently caused very poor people
because of the incompleteness of the
birth records. Age certificates are re-
quired for admission to certain grades
of the public schools, and evidence also
must be submitted by applicants for
employment licenses, in case there is
any doubt as to the age of the appli-
cant. Questions frequently arise in
court which have TO be settled by the
birth records. In addition, if the births
IN the city are not reported, statistics
based on population will be greatly mis-
leading
During the last week 1p9 deaths were
recorded, against 103 for the previous
week, and 112 for the corresponding
week last year. Thirteen deaths were
caused by diseases of the heart; pnu-
monia and pulmonary tuberculosis were
the cause Of eleven deaths: eight deaths
resulted from malignant growths, and
four persons died from apoplexy.
Contagious Diseases Increase.
During the week there was a general
increase in cases of contagious diseases,
as anticipated by health officials, because
Of the opening of the public schools.
Thirty-nine new cases of diphtheria were
reported. Typhoid fever cases increased
from 134 to 1877. Twenry-six new cases
were recorded and twenty-three cases
discharged.
There was an unusually large number
Of Investigations of contagious diseases.
There were eleven Investigations of diph-
iberia cases and five of cases of rabies.
Nine grocers were prosecuted for keep
ing unclean premises. A saloonkeeper
and a lunchroom proprietor were prose-
cuted for failure to protect their food
stuffs from flies and other insects. A
dairyman was arraigned In the Police
Court for shipping watered milk into the
District from Maryland and was fined $50.
The following foodstufrs were condemn
ed by the food inspectors: Twenty
