The thing to do now is to make the
Pensacola Marl1i Gras peoples frolie
one In which each and every one
may be very thoroughly interested.
Added social features is one good
solution, too, to the problem.
Now Then.
There are. at the present time, two
or three mystic societies whose affairs
are, Of course, most interesting TO
those directly concerned.
Mardi Gras means considerable.
probably, when you may wear satin
gowns and WELD gilt scepters and
see all this gorgeousness at close view,
but there are any number OF other
people, for instance, who are putting
up for this same Mardi Gras, who
would doubtless be just as interested
IL the general carnival features would
assume a somewhat different aspect,
in order that the interest might be of
more popular nature.
The thing Is to get the proposition
Mardi Gras shall mean something to
every person in Pensacola.
We may keep the mystic societies
that we have, but we need more;
enough, indeed, to keep all the young
people agog for weeks ahead OF the
coming Of Priscus; and at the grand
final ball, it would not hurt any loyal

either, to mingle In one large affair
given, for instance, by all the societies
put together.
There is almost any number nf
people who think exactly this way
about it, too-you find It out most

The Social Features Of Mardi Gras


It was just twelve years ago that
Pensacola saw her first real Mardt
Gras celebration, when, at the sugges-
ton of a number Of the young busi-
ness men OF the city, the Tuesday be-
fore ASH Wednesday, always impor-
day of feastfng. was celebrated In the
old Spanish custom by the people OF
Pensacola.
The parade was entirely the result
Of the efforts of these energetic young
men. who, too. to aid in the general
success. walked IN the glare Of the
torch procession as the Forty Red
Devils and were sight to see.
Pensacola people Joined in the fun
on the streets to considerable ex-
tent. and that night notable ball. In
which everyone was interested, AID
in which everyone participated, was
given at the old Armory hall.
you, and it was IN this way that one
of the most important dates In the
local calendar took root in the fertile
enthusiasm Of the people.
Today, after twelve Mardi Gras car
nivals have passed. and, through ju-
dicious advertising. the annual play
cav has come to stay, as far as Pen
carnival is becoming. in some respects,
a little too one sided In some Of its
interest and Importance, and not, for
instance, the thing Of ll-absorbing
interest to all the people in every de-
tail that one might wish.
"AH Pensacola" like IAN Gaui," Is
divided in three parts on the carnival
situation
They are the people who participate
in the very cream Of its events: those
who are relied upon TO great extent
to pay for it-and those who do not
care, particularly. one way or another

should mean to each and every one OF
his subjects in Pensacola. then Pen

There are plenty Of young people
right here in the city who are capable
Of planning as artistic and gorgeous

anywhere.
Not one, but several new mystic
societies could easily be organized.
and the added zest and interest, with
the fun, too, would we'll repay almost
any one who might try it.

they might all be in full sway on

If Priscus proved a genial soul, as
most monarchs of his Fix are supposed
to be-or politician-he might just
possibly visit all of them, too, il the
right spirit somehow got abroad in
the air.
It would do no harm to try, and the
situation from year to year seems to
demand some sort of solution, If you
get the habit of watching 1t closely.
The carnival ball at the opera house,
which ends somewhere around nine
o'clock, when the king has unmaslSed,
means the complete ending OF Mardi
Gras time, and the only real pleasure
of the carnival for too many people.
Pensacola, of course, needs the
mystic societies which she already
has; but there is full and ample room
for at least a half dozen more.
This will be a necessary solution 70

ALASKA COAL CLAIMS SETTLED
Thtrty-Three Cunningham Entries De-

Cancelled.

Washington, D. C.-All SO so-called
Cunningham Alaska coal land claims
involving alleged fraudulent blanket
patents, which contributed tothe Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy, have been
adversely decided and Secretary
Fisher has directed the immediate exc
cution of the decision of Commissioner
bennett of the general land office, who
held the claims were fraudulent and
that the entries should be Cancelled.
Secretary Fisher took this final action
on his second review of the cases.
No more of the real Cunningham
claims are pending, though the in
terror department is regularly passing
upon other Alaskan claims somewhat
similar to those of the Cunningham
group. OF a thousand or more such,
800 already have been disallowed.

Will Place Entire State Ticket In
Field, Without a Mans
Name on 1t.

Boise, Idaho.-Tired of the continu-
al wrangling and fighting by the men
Of the Republican party in Idaho, the
women members of the party have an
nounced their complete severance
from the men.
They said they would place ticket
of their own in the field. Until their
plans are perfected the women who
are leading the organization of the
new women's party refuse to allow
their names to be used.
According to information a call will
be issued Immediately for a state
convention, TO be held in Boise the
latter part of the week. The women
said their action in putting a ticket
of their own in the field was the
only way out of the disagreeable fight
now being waged by the men within
the party. A complete state ticket will
be named from governor down and on
ly women will be nominated.
1t is understood that the women al
ready have held several meetings at
which candidates for the various Of
fees have been discussed. The
women, however, are keeping their
plans under cover and say they will
not announce what action they have
taken until their organization is COM
plete.

Charleston, w. Va.-Stoned as were
Stephen and Paul because Of their
efforts to carry the gospel to those
who would not receive it, the Rev. s.
H. Green, pastor of the Blue Sulphur
Springs Circuit Methodist Episcopal
church South, died a martyr to his
calling.
A series of sermons on "Dishon-
esty," in which he prayed for the evil
doors, were not well received by the
uncouth mountain folk. The truth hurt.
At first there were angry protests
against the text. Then there were
threats. The minister held to his duty.
He held a circuit meeting at F'rys
schoolhouse in the mountains. He laid
especial stress upon his subject There
were mutterings at the meeting and
faithful parishioners sought TO warn
the pastor. He struck out for home
alone in the dusk.

ouences. Each attack was from am
bush, the heavy shrubbery along the
mountain roads shielding the assail-
ants.
The last assault was the direct cause
of his death at his home at Ausbury,
Greenbrier county. A heavy stone
crushed his skull and since the attack
his death has been only a matter OF
hours.
The identity of the assailants is in
doubt. A parishioner overheard the
threats of a rough crowd in front OF
the schoolhouse and may be able to
identify its members if apprehended.
