commissioners believed that the idea
was an excellent one, and while the
board did not order the work done,
the matter was referred to Commits
sioner johnson, who will act in the
premises. There is no opposition to
the plan.
The signers to the petition num-
bered every business house on each
side Of Garden street with the ex-
ception Of one wholesale company,
and they represented that at various
times it was necessary to go from
one side of the street to the other,
and that considerable time is lost in
having to go around the grass plot
space. That meant that the cross
walk, as planned, would be the great
est Of conveniences, and it SO i'm
pressed the board, each member ex-
pressing his personal approval.
The city has sidewalk contractor
who works for certain price per
yard and the work, which will be
done for much less than $500, will
probably be early ordered by the COM
missioners.

.MENKO' S MINSTREL
MERIDIAN
PERFORMANCE WAS GIVEN
THERE RECENTLY AND A RE-
TURN ENGAGEMENT is POSI-
BILE EARLY IN YEAR.

Meridian was highly pleased with
Menko's Minstrels, as lately trained
and presented in that city. Sixty tai
ented girls Of that city, in com
Iparatively short time, rendered one
of the most delightful shows, and a
return engagement is already in
prospect, to be given early in the new
year.
On the 18th, Mr.. Menko will play
for the Elks at Demopolis, then to
Selma In December, where he will
play for the q. d. c., one night and
matinee; then to Birmingham fol-
two nights at the Jefferson theatre
for the benefit Of the Young Mems
Hebrew Association. He returns to
this city for the holidays and later
will leave for engagements well into
January.
In a criticism Of the show in Me-
ridian, the Dispatch had the follow
ing to say:
Young Ladies In Minstrelsy.
Sixty Of Meridian's loveliest young
girls were presented in minstrelsy
under the management of Mr.. Julius
Menko, at the Grand Opera House
last night
Mrs. Melville Grant was the SPLEEN
did accompanist and to her was due
much of the success of the entertain
ment. At Bis o'clock the curtain
rose on scene of beauty which will
mot soon be forgotten. The first act
was entitled, can Hour in the Palace
and through the rosy glow Of low
turned lights was a statue in the
background, which for grace and
beauty Of pose would have delighted
the heart of any sculptor. This was
Miss Carol Rosenbaum in cloud like
chiffon of pale pink, shading into
pure white rose. Her features
seemed chiseled in marble and her
slightly uplifted head the embodi-
ment of all that she represented.
Columbia presented message of
peace to the warning nations. As the
statue faded away and the lights
flashed on, a pyramid of sixty beauti-
full young girls, all in fall evening
dress and eight end men in white
suits with red ties, was disclosed.
The audience was large and appre-
ciative, and many were the compli-

square one Sunday afternoon upon
the occasion Of prohibition lecture.
The sum named was agreed upon to
cover damage which the driving Of
the auto across the grass plot and
into the square may have caused. No
damage, whatever, according to Com
missioner johnson, was sustained by
the square or the grass plot, hence
the action Of the commissioners.
Leslie Dean, colored, who was ar
rested on a charge of malicious mis-
chief, was recognized as . negro for
whom q warrant for larceny was
outstanding, and the additional
charge was doclreted after Dean had
been bound over to the county au-
thorities. The negro was placed un-
der arrest yesterday charged with
having stoned an electric car, and
the other allegation against him is
that Of stealing pair Of trousers
some months ago.
Buildings at COS to 600 South Pala-
fox street, which were lately con-
demned by the building inspector, and
ordered torn down, will not be de-
molished, at least for the present. A
consultation will be held in the
mayors Office this morning as to what
action will be taken. These buildings,
the property Of the Oerting estate,
were regarded as unsafe, and were
ordered torn down, but the executor,
in letter to the commissioners yes
terday, protested against any such
order, saying that the buildings were
always occupied, were insurable at all
times and there was no good reason
why they should not be allowed to
stand. The matter viii be discussed,
with the building inspector present.
Peter Tomasello Of Santa Rosa
county, was in Pensacola yesterday
on business.
James Reed, the officer who was
suspended for thirty days upon sus-
tanned charges that he was negligent
in his duties, petitioned yesterday for
reinstatement, but the request was
not favored by the mayor and COM
nlissioners. The thirty-day suspen-

Notable Anniversary for Europe

London, March 24-Many of
the London papers this morning
recalled today as the one hun
dreth anniversary of the begin
ming Of the last general Euro
pean war before the outbreak of
the great conflict now raging. 1t
was on March 25, 1915, that the
allied Powers, in CONSERVATION
over the news of Napoleon's re-
turn from Elba, hastily recon-
vened their congress at Vienna
and concluded a new treaty of
alliance.
By this treaty the cabinets of
Great Britain, Russia, Austria
and Prussia engaged to unite
their forces against Bonaparte
and his faction, in order to pre-
vent him from again troubling
the peace of Europe" They each
agreed to furnish 10000 men
for the prosecution of the war,
and, if necessary, to draw forth
their entire military force of
every description. By a secret
treaty, concluded at the same
time, it was stipulated that the
contracting parties should not
lay down their arms until they
had effected the destruction of
Napoleon, and that England
should supply the funds. All the
lesser powers Of Europe acceded
to these treaties soon after their
ratification. Then began the
short and vigorous campaign
that ended in Napoleon's final
overthrow at Waterloo.

Poor Season for Oyster Trade.

New York, March 25.-The
oyster season which will come to
an end one week from today has
been the poorest which the oy-
stermen have known in many
years. Some of the largest con-
Germs in the business do not hest
tate to characterize it as the
poorest in its history. The vol
ume Of oyster trade this winter
has rarely reached sixty per cent
Of normal. The demand for the
bivalves has been affected by
general business conditions, by
a very poor crop in 1914, by the
mild weather during the best
oyster months and to no small
extent by the disparagement of
the oyster by the health author
tiles.

Japanese Masses Want to Vote.

JdpdliCSS aut W OtCs
Toxic, March 22.-The Japan
csc general election which takes
place this week is looked upon as
one of the most important that
has been held since the country
was given a constitutional gov
eminent a quarter of a century
ago. The election contest is a
struggle between the masses and
the classes. At present the
masses are without a voice in
the national Government, the
right to vote being limited to the
taxpayers, which means that
scarcely two per cent of the en-
tire population enjoys the fran
chise. The absorbing question
for the common people is how
to obtain an extension of the
franchise and thus a greater
voice in the Government. Hith-
erto the masses have had no way
of expressing opinion save by
%riotous demonstrations, but they
are now striving to return candi-
dates favoring more nearly
universal suffrage and thus to
attain in fact the position Of citi-
zens of the empire.

Some Forms of Rheumatism
Durable.

rheumatism is a disease char
acterized by pains in the joints
and in the muscles. The most
common forms are: Acute and
Chronic Rheumatism, Rheumatic
Headaches, Sciatic Rheumatism
and Lumbago. All of these
types can be helped absolutely by
applying some good liniment
that penetrates. An application
of Sloan's Liniment two or three
times a day to the affected part
will give instant relief. Sloan's
Liniment is good for pain, and
especially Rheumatic Pain, be-
cause it penetrates to the seat of
the trouble, soothes the afflicted
part and draws the pain. "Sloan's
Liniment is all medicine" Get a
25c bottle now. Keep it handy
in case of emergency.
