beer-gardens and palm-rooms who
claim their victims in such appalling
numbers.
One of the greatest causes for alarm
on this question is the prevalence of
intoXicants at social functions. Those
people whose lives are a constant
round of social duties drink because
others do and because they desire
stimulants to enable them to keep the
pace set them by society leaders. 10
you wonder that so many society wo-
men acquire the drink habit when their
days and nights are crowded with
whiskey-teas, punch-bowl receptions,
egg-nog parties, after theatre parties
with champagne, and afternoon whist
and poker games with high-balls, gin
fixes, and cocktail refreshments .?
There is no disputing the fact that the
society women of our cities are IN
grave danger of the drink habit.
How about the women of our small
er towns? We all know that in nearly
every small town there are a few peo-
pie who try, in their entertaining, to
initiate the smart set of the city.
How long will it take these people to
demoralize the girls who have some
social aspirations and an abnormal
fear of being laughed at or called
Miss Prim?" In one of these small
towns, were you ever in company
where wine was served? You never
knew when you may be placed in such
a position. 1t pays to be we'll fortified

In those places where the social life

J so-called soft drinks. Many women

LOCAL TROOPS

INAUGURATION
CAPT. CLEMENT sLouNT AND
BOYS OF COMPANY M WANT TO
MAKE A TRIP TO WASHINGTON
AND PARTICIPATE IN cERE-
MONIES.

A trip to Washington, where they
will participate in the Inauguration of
President-elecr Wilson on March 4, is
being planned by the members Of Com
pany NJ, of Pensacola, provided citi-
zens will assist in defraying the ex-
penses OF the command. Capt Glenn
emit Blount has taken the matter up
and believes that Pensacola can be
represented by a full company, and a
large number of the boys have become
enthusiastic.
The trip would cost q total Of about
;L50o. and the plan is for each mem
Der to pay $40 towards this expense,
making $500 of the amount necessary.
Then the boys expect to net $500 on
their Carnival ball, leaving only $500
to be donated by citizens, and they be-
lieve this amount can be raised as
it would be a fine advertisement for
the city.
Capt. Parkhill took the Chipley, Light
Infantry to New York several years
ago for tho Dewey Day celebration, and
at that time the cost of the trip was
betrayed by business men.
1t is understood that the DeFuniak
company is preparing to go to Wash
ington for the Inauguration and it is
expected that a number of other Flor
ida commands will do likewise.

At the meeting Of the Strangers
club last night, the supper hour from
9 to o'clock was devoted to discus
sion of points which the club thought
should be included in the new city
charter to be discussed this week.
At the close of the session the club
went upon record as favoring the in
itiative and referendum and the recall:
q commission of not more than five:
elimination of the ward system and
election of commissioners by a vote
of the whole city; the petition of 20
per cent Of the qualified voters for
election to recall.
Several details were taken IN. in
Guiding the employment OF civil SER
vice examinations to test the quail
fications of applicants for city positions
The majority favored the examina-
tons. The minority held that the best
the civil service examination could do
would be to save the commissioners
embarrassment when asked for jobs,
as, with the recall in force, they would
have to employ people to make good
whereas. with the civil service exam
nations the employment of a theoreti-
caify perfect but impractical man
would not be charged to them.
The question was left open.

work on poverty to show that in 1897,

In Boston he showed that about 90
per cent were more or less dependent

and that comparison Of Chicago and
a small Indiana town demonstrated
that the proportion Of dependents was
about the same.
1t is estimated that there are 10000

dollars judicious1y expended will put
the Everglades in a splendid condi-

Several weeks ago, Mr.. Cromwell
Gibbons appeared informally before
the trustees. He intimated that he
felt sure that he had Dutch syndi
cate which would take the lands OF
the trustees at $500 an acre, one
fourth Of which was to go to the state
school fund. The syndicate was 70 is
sue bonds and that even this one
fourth-two million dol!ars-was to be
paid in the bonds OF the company, and
that the company would drain the
Everglades themselves, using the pro-
ceeds of the remaining bonds. The
only cash he intimated would be paid
was left blank on the paper, but he
said ne thought that 100000 would be
paid down; $10e,00o in three months,
and 100000 IN six months. This was
all the cash that was ia be paid.

You WILL observe that the state

Mr.. Gibbons, with several gentlemen,

having notified the trustees that on a
certain day definite proposition would

to meet Mr.. Gibbons, and the repre-
