on the boulevards. Here and there

slipped their pommes de terre under
the striped cafeterias Of the Rue de
Cuckoo. So much for local color.

'' THE firing Line !"
Robt. w. Chambers Drama
tized Story Soon to Be Pre-
sented Here.

Alta time when the dramatization of
widely read novels has contributed SO
largely to successful theatrical produc-
tions, it will be of considerable interest
to amusement seekers to learn that The
Firing Line" by Robert w. Chambers,
is soon TO be presented in play form.
Beyond the question OF a doubt there
is no more popular writer in the country
today than Robert w. Chambers, and no
novels read with more absorbing inter
est than his The Firing Line" ," The
Fighting Chance" "The Younger Set"
and "The Danger Mark" in addition TO
being published in serial form in the
Saturday Evening Post, have probably
had a larger sale in book form than any
work of fiction published in recent years.
Mr. Chambers has been approached
on many occasions by playwrightS with
dramatized versions of his stories, but
none have been up to the standard re-
quired and demanded by the author, ex-
cept the dramatiZation OF The Firing
Line" recently submitted by Richard
Walton Tully, who will be remembered
as co-author with David Belasco of The
Rose of The Rancho" which was in
Stantly accepted.
Those who have read this stirring
novel will quickly appreciate its dramatic
opportunities, and, as an excellent pro-
ducton, will be provided and strong
metropolitan company selected for its
Interpretation, this offering should prove
to be one of the important theatrical
events of the season.
"The Firing Line" will be presented
in Palatka, at the Howell Theatre, on
Friday night, the 31St inst.

SOUTHERN PAVING
CONSTRUCTION GO.
Gets Contract For Paving More
Palatka Streets.

At a meeting of the board of bond
trustees for the city of Palatka held at
the Council Chamber on Tuesday, the
10th inst, the Southern Paving Con
struction Co. of Chattanooga was award
ed a contract for laying 5,6T square
yards of vitrified brick paving.
The bid of this company proposed TO
lay the brick on edge al S1.3l per square
yard, or to lay it flat at S1.23 per square
ward. The total cost in the former man
ner would be 81 ,599,14, and in the latter
way $6,995.33.
This company also proposed TO lay
1887 lineal feet of granite curbing at 81
cents per lineal foot, total OF 81, ,4l9.b b9
The only other bid received was that
of the Graves Matthews Paving Co., al
so of Chattanooga, whose proposal for
vitrified brick paving laid on edge was
81. 50 per spare yard, while laid flat, this
company asked S1.35 per square yard.
For the granite curbing the Graves
Matthews company'S bid was 45 cents
per lineal foot.
The Southern Paving Construction
Company agreed that the paving should
be completed by April 18th, and the
Graves Matthews Co. proposed to have
the work completed by March 25th.
After listening 10 the reading of the
proposals, each of which contained the
REQUIRED certified check for 81, 900, the
following resolution offered by Trustee
l.. c. Canova was adopted.
"ReSolvcd that the bid of the South
ern Paving Construction, Co., as sub
mitted be accepted with the understand
ing that the board of bond trustees have
the privilege of having certain of the
pavement laid flat if they desire.
This resolution was supported by Irus-
tee A. f. Wilson and carried.
DR.. E. S. Grill, chairman of the board
submitted letter from City Engineer
Stallings in which that gentleman argued
that the difference in cost OF laying the
brick paving on edge was so slight, that
he recommended that all be laid on
edge.
The board then adjourned TO nine
O'Clock on Wednesday morning, when
the contract with the Southern Paving
Construction Co. was duly made, being
signed in duplicate.
The board also decided that it would
have all the brick laid on edge; author
lied the chairman to sell the remaining
bonds; to notify abutting property own
ers on North Third, River, Fifth, Laurel,
Kirby and Tecumseh streets OF the pur-
pose to pave as per ordinance.
The city engineer was instructed TO
prepare estimates of the cost OF the
different materials proposed for paving
the other streets named in the ordinance.
The meetings of the board were at
tended by DR.. E. S. Grill, Geo. E. Gay,
A. Z. Wilson and l.. c. Canova. The
only absentee was DR.. w. H. Cyrus,
who had not sufficiently recovered from
his recent illness to permit of his pres
ence.

Features of the Primary.

w. A. Blount'S vote in his home coun-
ty (Escambia) was remarkable. A dis
patch from Pensacola shows that with
three country precincts TO hear from, MIR.
BIount received ISIS votes and Bryan
and Stockton combined but PSI. In Mr.
Blount's home precinct he had the solid
vote.
Mr.. Blount received 1,114 votes in
Duval county, or but 1877 votes less than
Bryan in the latter'S own county. Mr.
Stockton, who also lives in Duval coun-
ty, was third, with 1,O15 votes.
In Dade and Palm Beach counties,
where it was supposed Bryan would be
strongest, Stockton appears TO have been
the favorite.
1t is possible but not probable that Mr..
Stockton may get into the second pri-
mary. All indications point TO the final
race being between Blount and Bryan
on the 31St inst.
Local politicians in Palatka quite gen
orally express the opinion that the sec
ond man in the race, seeing Mr.. Blount
has such a big lead, should retire in IA
vor of the EScambia gentleman, rather
than that the people should do it for him
on the 3lSt.

Twenty-Five indictments Returned in

indictments
All of the indictments charge mur
der in connection with that crime. 1t
is not likely that the names of any
of the indicted will be made public
until after arrests have been mads.
It is believed a large number Of San
Franciscans have been indicted.
Wholesale murder, the outcome of
a dynamite plot, is understood to be
the charge as set forth in all the ia
dictments.
The return of the indictments was
the sequel of a disaster that excited
the people of Los Angeles to degree
that for a few days bordered upon
panic, and resulted in the Offering of
rewards aggregating almost 100000.
Union labor, which The Times and
its proprietors had opposed, was In
jected into the situation.

The death from starvation of Mrs.
Susannah Drum, aged 76 years, at the
city infrmary of Cleveland, Ohio,
brought to light the story Of an aged
woman who for two years past lived
in a ST all, squalid, windowless room,
clothed herself in rags and finally
starved herself to death in order to
save every penny that was within her
grasp
On December 30, on complaint Of
neighbors of her queer actions, she
was taken before Probate Judge Had
den to be examined as to her sanity.
But the old woman was so i'll and
weak that she was sent to the infirm-
ary. She was supposed to be penni-
less, but after death came there was
found in a cloth bag around her neck
$3.50 in bills, two bank books calling
for several hundred dollars and mort
gage on farm at Berlin, Ohio.
