A contributor to the American Mag

"a clerk in one of the great jewelry
stores on Fifth avenue, in New York
city, exhibited to a rich and weary
customer lady's handbag, five inches
square, made Of platinum and fairly
well covered on one side only with
diamonds. The price was $4,000. The
fact that one side only was covered
with diamonds troubled the customer.
Turning the handbag around and
around and looking at it from all sides
over and over. he finally said: Very
pretty, really. But | don't like one
side without diamonds. Honestly, the
thing looks skimpy skimpy.
At an additional expense Of $1,000 this
difficulty was removed"

587TH TRIP BY
COAST STEAMER
TARP0N IS MADE
STAUNCH STEAMER WHICH HAS
BEEN PLYING LOCAL WATERS
FOR TEN YEARS HAS QUITE A
RECORD.

Five hundred and eighty-siX round
trips were yesterday rounded out by
the coast steamer Tarpon, of the Pen
sacola, ST andrews & Gulf Steam
ship Company, and when the steamer
left her deck yesterday afternoon at
s o'clock for regular call Of ports
down the coast of Florida, it was for
the 5S1th time, covering a period of
ten years.
Only once in all these voyages has
the steamer suffered anything akin to
countered a storm Of violent proper
bay, was thrown upon her beam ends
and a part of her side smashed in.
That was the nearest to any accident
that the steamer has happened to, and
of course the good record is attribut
ed in the main to the careful captain
ship of Capt. w. G. Barrow, of this
city who for years has occupied the
pilot house and who has brought this
steamer through all kinds of weather,
quite enough to have sWamped any
ordinary vessel. 1t is a common say
ing along the waterfront that when
the Tarpon turns and runs from a
storm, or when the steamer refuses to
venture into the teeth of a storm, all
other craft had better take to shelter.
for the steamer named, has poked her
nose through more rough weather than
any other vessel in like trade along
the CoOSt.
The Tarpon. built in 1887 at Wilm-
ington. Del, and first named the Maui
gatuck, is twenty-seven years old.
Built of iron, the steamer is 1903 feet
long, &c feet wide, and has a gross
tonnage of 440, with a net of Isl.

porarily, in the handling Of our crops,
but America is absolutely prepared to
meet the financial situation and to
Itraightsn everything out. The only
hing that can possibly prevent it is
unreasonable apprehension and ex-
sitement."
The president urged the press not
20 give currency to unverified rum

tend to create or add to excitement:
hat while the situation in Europe was
ne sravest in it's possibilities that had
,risen in modern times, it need not

'T want to have the pride Of feeling
hat America, II nobody else, has her

STRUCK STREET CAR AND RIDER,
OFFICER CLARK, HAD MARROW
ESCAPE FROM RATHER SERi-
Gus INJURIES.

Considerable excitement was caused
at SIS o'clock yesterday afternoon
when motorcycle. belonging to the
police department, and ridden by Off
Ger Clark. collided with a North Hill
electric car, at the intersection of Ro-
mana and Palafox streets. The cop
mad narrow escape from serious in

up, while the front wheel of the motor
cycle was wrecked, the rim beng
badly bent and cracked, while the
spokes were twisted so that an entirely
new front wheel will be necessary be-
fore the motorcycle is used again to
any good advantage.
Officer Clark was riding west on Ro-
mana street and had intended turn
ing southwark on PalafoX street. When
he rea ched the street intersection,
however, and started to make the
turn toward the south, a pedestrian
stepped down from the walk and start
ed to cross Palafox street. The Off
Ger said that in trying to avoid strik-
ing this man, he turned his wheel
sharply and dashed into the car, which
was then approaching the crossing.

Mulat, Fla. Aug. 8, 1914.
Editor Pensacola journal.
l have read Mr.. Gilfillan SCOTS in
teresting article on Pensacola's chief
bathing centers, and noted the long
wait at 18th Avenue and Moreno street
for that car, and other difficulties in
getting to Bayview Park, and would
suggest that instead of getting off the
car at that junction and waiting, one
should wait until Lloyd street is reach
ed, then get off and walk four blocks
east, straight to the bathing beach,
saving of more than half the distance
and no tiresome waiting for car.
Walking on Lloyd street is fairly
good, and if any considerable number
of people got into the habit of going
that way, perhaps the city would clear
up the street.
1t would be still better if the Pen
sacola Electric Company would ex-
tend their line on Moreno street to Goth
avenue then south to the bathing place,
and west on Lloyd street to 10th ave-
nue. again. This would accomoda tie
the bathers and also a large number

Back to Look After
Political Fences.

The suggestion that senators are
eager to begin their campaign because
seeking election by popular vote will
be a new and strange experience for
them is a little wide of the mark. Many
Of the senators have come through the
House, and, therefore, have had
thorough training In direct appeals to
the voters, and others have had SINH
lar experiences running for other Of
fees. No doubt the grave solons are
anxious to get into the fight, and many
of them have good reason to be, but We
venture to say that when it comes to
fitting themselves into the experience
of a popular campaign few of them are
apt to appear ill at ease. If that were
all some of them had to worry about
they might sit back now and rest con-
tent. They are not so much concern
ed as some folks might think about
the possible handicap of their sena
torial dignity, as compared with the
other fellows who have been accustom-
ed to the rough-and- tumble tactics Of
a and-to-hand fight for office. But
there Is no discounting the fact that
they are exceedingly impatient to be-
gin their fall fence building.

HELPS Toward Peace.


Federal Judge Sheppard's decision of
Wednesday in the Georgia and Florida
Railroad case comes at a fortunate
moment and notably improves the
prospects of a peaceful settlement be-
tween the western roads and the en-
ginemen.
The Georgia and Florida case was
one of those especially cited by the
enginemen in their refusal to accept
arbitration on the ground that the
railroads had not shown good faith in
putting awards into effect. General
Florida is charged with repudiatin
both his official agreement and his per-
sonal pledge. Judge Sheppard has
overruled MIR. Duer's demurrers to the
award.
Judge Sheppard's decision promises
that the courts can and will find a
way to enforce obedience to arbitral
awards under the Erdman- Newlands
act, despite Attorney General McRey
nolds' opinion that such awards i'm
posed only "a moral obligation upon
railroad managers.
The sore point between the western
roads and their enginemen, out of
which threatened to grow a strike that
would be nothing less than a national
calamity, was the feeling of the men
that certain managers had not acted
in good faith and that the managers
in ConStrairing some of their number
to good faith.
That soreness has been greatly mod
flied by Judge ShepEarTs ruling. One
of the leaders of the men is quoted as
finding reason against arbitra ton,
if the courts will compel the railroa d )
to obey an award. There is now every
prospect that the western dispute will
be amicably adjusted.-Chicag Her

Importation Barred.

in the city could repair in years. That
price would induce the importation of
rats and The Journal would have to
favor an import duty-and it is a DEM

are several dialects spoken which
are difficult for the foreigners to

difficulty the native is the key
