night a series of six addresses in this
city and will remain at the San Carlos
hotel for several days to cath up with
his correspondence and get a bit of
rest, after a strenuous three months
campaign in the south, during which
time he has averaged making twelve
addresses week in six different
cities.
The addresses in this city were made
in the First Baptist church, the First
Presbyterian church, the Knights of
Columbus hall and the Y. NJ. c. A.

MEETING OF THE
COMMERCIAL
ASSOCIATION
SESSION WILL BE HELD IN CON-
VENTION HALL OF THE SAN
CARLOS TO CONSIDER THE
PARCELS POST MATTER

Members of the Pensacola CONNIE =
cial association will meet in the con-
vention hall of the San Carlos hotel
tonight at s o'clock for the purpose
of considering the parcels post ques-
ton. No other business will be con-
sidered at the meeting and it is de-
sired by the directors that as many
Of the members as can possibly do so
attend.
On former occasions when the mem
bers as a whole have been asked to
take part in a meeting the attend
ance has been very small and conse-
quently when the vote was taken II
was in no wise an opinion Of the ma
jority of the membership.
1t is the opinion of many that the
proper thing for the meeting tonight
Is to adjourn without taking any &C
ton at all, thinking that the associa-
ton should not take any part In
things political, especially so when
there is a vast difference Of opinion
among the members.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At The Biiou

At the Bijou.
Did you hear him yesterday The
new singer of Scotch songs at the
Bijou There is no discounting the
fact that he is there with the goods
when 1t comes to the real Harry
Louder style of vocal expression. No
sooner had he gotten through the
Scotch songs, 81 Love a Lassie,' at
last nights performance, than encore
after encore compelled him to repeat
the chorus time and time again.
But then why shouldn't Douglas
Robertson be able to sing Scotch
songs and ballads In manner that
will make a hit from the very first
with patrons of the Bijou, for he is
real dyed-in- the-wool Sootchman,
fresh from the bonnie isle.
Victor Herbert.

will be heard in conjunction with the

numbers and in vocal ability to cast
a grand opera Among them are

adapted to the Wagnerian arias, or
the most delicate strains that occur
in Herbert's wonderful success, Ma

appearances have been hailed with
enthu asrn from one end Of the coun-
try to the other; Clara Drew. con-
tralto, who has attained recognition
not only in this and her native land
but amongst the critical audiences IF
France and Germany; John Finnigan,
tenor, who stepped into command
ing position in New York city be-
cause of his marvellous purity of tone
and extraordinary skill in handling It:
Charles D. Washburn, whose per
formances in ofatorial and concert
have won for him hosts of admirers.
and Frank Croxton, whose intelligent
use Of q rich sonorous basso has
claimed for him the highest compli-
ments from the most authoritative
pens.
So comprehensive an organization
under such distinguished leadership,
means an opportunity to become &C
quainted with the highest forms of
music, and the celebrities associated
with their presentation, such as is
very seldom offered. It Is small won

N. |KARD FOR
COMMISSIONER
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY
TO SUCCEED HIMSELF IN RE-
CALL ELECTION SEPT. IL.

M. Ikard makes public his an
nouncement today as a candidate
for commissioner from the fourth
ward to succeed himself at the spe-
cial election to be held on the 12th
of September. While the recall pro-
vided for in the city charter was
agitated during the former admins
tration and petition was never
filed and this election is the first
ever to be called in this city under
the recall of the city charter. The
result will be watched with much
interest over the state.
Mr.. lizard was chosen city COM
missioner a year and a half ago
over John 9. Owens who Is one
of the most public spirited and
popular men in the city. He has
rim his own department without
dictation from anyone and has had
a stormy life as city officer. MT.
lizard promised the people of the
CITY he would in case OF election
devote his entire time to the inter-
ests of the city. To save the sal
ary of the police Judge he offered
to serve in that place without pay,
but was prohibited from doing so
under the terms of the charter. Mr.
lizard has held the place OF Ponce
Commissioner where he has had
abundant opportunity to feather MS
own nest but no charges of dishon-
esty have ever been made against
him. The charges made are IN
competency, taking part In a riot
and of doing work and receiving
nav for services rendered con-
tractor of the city. He was exon
Grated by the city commissioners and
he will make his own defense be-
fore the voters and they will pass
Judgment upon his stewardship on
the 18th day of September.
Elected to office upon moral
wave that struck the town, Mr.. lkard
as police commissioner. has had the
hardest place in the city to fill with
satisfaction to the voters. rigid
law enforcement would please some
and displease others. A wide-open
policy would please some ana
displease others. Truly he
had hard place to fill
A few evenings ago, G. P. Wheel
er, a banker of Kingston, sat in
the Wilmington hotel and in his
conversation concerning Ardmore he
made the statement that he had
seen the time when he feared to
go from the hotel to the depot on
account of rowdyism on the streets.
He further said the town was differ
ent now and commented upon the
change for the better. Whether the
administration of Mr.. Ikard has had
anything to do with this change to-
ward better morals is for the peo-
pie to pass upon at the polls The
friends of Mr.. lizard are Loyalty sup
porting him for the office he seeks
and many who did not support him
in the last election state that they
will support him this time. He places
his candidacy before the people and
has full confidence in the wisdom
and Judgment of the majority OF
the voters of the city.

Editor The Ardmoreite:
II have made several trips IN mid
winter from the extreme north 10
the gulf coast and enjoyed the
change from snowbanks and bliZ-
yards to southern sunshine and How
ers. but to see something of the va
riety and richness of our country
resources one needs to traverse the
country from south to north IN hlu'
summer. What pleasing panorama
of fields, meadows, timber lands
nrairies. orchards and vineyards one
sees from a car window in August
while making the trip through OK
lahoma. Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
and Minnesota!
Minnesota is now harvesting d
bumper crop of wheat and oats. we
are on the extreme northern edse
of the corn belt, in the land Vi

the greatest dairy country in the
world.

such a variety of products as III

us entirely out of the cotton couh-
trv. and twenty-four hours took us
beyond the peach belt; and we are
now some distance north OF the

which we are stopping for a few
weeks is made famous by the sur

ing something of natural aptnesS
for surgery from their father, whc
was famed before them, they have
spared neither expense nor e1ior'
to perfect themselves in their pro
fession. The Mayo Brothers are
now known the world around. Peo
pie come here from every quarter
of the globe; and although the mos'
difficult operations are performed
the percentage of deaths is very
small. From so to 60 operations
90 or 40 of which are hospital cases
are being performed daily. The
hospital is being enlarged contlnu
ally to accommodate the rapidly
increasing patronage, and the city
itself is growing as direct result
of the Mayo Brothers growing rep
