n. N. G. c. NOTES.

/ Enthusiasm was the predominant
feature at the meeting of the H. y.
G. c. held Sunday last. A full mem,
bership was in attendance and many
new features for the upbuilding of
the club were introduced.
Mr.. J. F. Sullivan was elected presi-
dent, vice f. J. Curren resigned. on
account of business connections.
Great things are expected under the
capable and efficient guidance of Mr..
Sullivan, whose chief characteristic is
that of boosting.
Mr.. Curren was given a rising vote
of thanks for all the things he accom-
plished during his regime as presi.
dent and in bringing the club up to
its present state.
Never since it's organization has
the club stood on a firmer basis. and
with the receipt of new applications
daily, the future has never looked
more encouraging.
The first rejuvenation of social &C
tivity was started when the club gave
its first social gathering for the mem
bers and lady friends on last Wednes-
day night. A large gathering of
young ladies were on hand to make
their initial social a success. They
were allowed the privileges of the
club rooms, including their GYM,
which was used for dancing. All
those participating enjoyed them.
selves, and it is expected that these
gatherings will be looked forward to
with pleasure every Wednesday night.
The new inner player was used to
good advantage, and proved to be an
able entertainer for lovers of the
Terpsichorean art.
The club has always had as its
luedI the clean and healthful enter
tainment of its members, both socially
and athletically, and has endeavored
at all times to make manly men of
its members, and the club rooms have
always been held up as a place where
young men can spend their pleasant
evenings, and it is hoped that the
Catholic young men of this parish
will take advantage of this oppor. |
tunity to enjoy the many socials and
athletic features of this club.
In regard to the young ladies, we
wish to inform them through the
medium of this paper and tie invita-
tons we have issued, that they are
welcome to the privileges of our club
rooms on Wednesday nights, and on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday eve
nings our tennis courts are at their
disposal.

Glass. of which England is threat
ened with a scarcity through the clos

at one time to be made by most aris-

law passed under Louis TX allowed
none but men of noble birth to set up
glass-blowing establishments, or even
to work therein. For many centuries
this was the only industry which no
blemen could engage in without losing
caste. The art of glass making came
to England originally from France, and

Holland, where art has always found
a hospitable home, if one may judge
by the multiplicity of pictures in
which Dutch windmills, wooden shoes
and bikes are the chief features, is
finding it necessary to treat the artist
with unusual niggardliness owing to
the exactions of war. 1t is said that
really fine paintings are selling as low
as $40 apiece. Some dealers have
been forced out of business and are
seeking to make a livelihood in other
ways. The harvest reaped from tour
list trade has dwindled to nothing.
Even the government has withdrawn
its annual fixed credit at the disposal
of art museums for the purchase OF
pictures. The artists have organized
for mutual aid and are doing what
they can to believe the more needy
members of their craft.

CONVICT FROM
FLORIDA CAUGHT
BIRMINGHAM OFFICERS NAB
SIDNEY CUNNINGHAM AND
WILL PROBABLY GET REWARD
FOR TROUBLE. 49,

Some policeman in the city of Biz
mingham made 500 yesterday or the
day before when he arrested and
placed behind the bars negro named
Sidney Cunningham, who was sent up
to the state prison from Pensacola
for a term of three years and six
months. He was caught in Birning-
ham a couple of days ago and is held
awaiting the arrival of a Florida Of
ficer.
Cunningham is one three blacks
who broke into and robbed the store
of John T. Lind in systematic man
ner, and for which he was arrested
and convicted and sent up for the
term mentioned. Some weeks ago
he made successful getaway from
the state prison and was widely-pic-
tured in police and state prison cir
culars, while a reward of 500 was
offered for his arrest. This was how
the arresting officer is probably 500
richer today than he was yesterday.

CLEAN SHOWS TO.
Be ATTRACTION
At COUNTY FAIR
SECRETARY LILLARD RECEIVED
A GUARANTEE FROM GEN
ERAL HANGERS OFFICE TO
THAT EFFECT YESTERDAY.

GOOD, clean shows, without the
least suggestion at games of chance, /"
is the promise held out to Secretary
Lillard, In letter to him yesterday
from General Manager Barfeld, of
the Metropolitan Shows, which are to
be the amusement side of the Escam-
bia county fair here in November.
In the past, at some of. the fairs
held in the south, and especially along
the gulf coast, games of chance are
plentifully spread among the conces-
sions of the amusement branch of the
fair. This will not be the case in
the forthcoming attractions, and the
guarantee Of the general manager
to that effect was the feature of the
letter received yesterday by Secretary
and General Manager Lillard,. the
receipt of which was promptly ac-
mowledged.
Plenty of Fireworks.
There will be plenty of fireworks at
the fair, and if certain now-sought ar
rangements are closed up satisfac-
torily, there is probability of a
pyrotechnic display each night dur
ing the fair. Dealers who have es-
pecially catered TO fairs of a week
or ten days, and especially to gulf
coast cities where agricultural fairs
are held annually, are now in COM
munication with Mr.. Lillard, and
some real attractive offers have thus
far been received. The indications
are that there will be some fine dis
plays almost every night during the
life of the fair.
Corn Market Movement.
Hundreds of persons, both in city
and county, were much interested in
the movement of the Escambia Coun-
ty Crop Improvement Association,
looking to the marketing of the coun-
ty corn crop. One wholesaler inform
ed Mr.. Lillard yesterday that his firm
would take every bushel of Escambia
county corn offered, all things, of
course being equal. The wholesaler
said that, for the same grade Of corn,
his ffrrH stood ready to pay the same
prices for the supplies as are now
paid for thousands of bushels which
are handled from other markets of
the United States. The farmers are
interested, for they are thus assured
that for all good grade of corn, they
will be able to dispose of the entire
lot brought to the city, and will be
able to collect for it plus the freight
rates of such shipped into the county.
Farmers who wrote yesterday were
happy over the prospect, and practi-
cally all of them are ready to vastly
increase their farming acreage, and
to plant the best grades of corn for
their local markets.
