TWO FOUND GUILTY
OF SELLING LIQUOR
WITHOUT A LICENSE
POLICE GET REAL BUSY AND
PILE UP EVIDENCE AGAINST
COUPLE OF DEFENDANTS IN
THE CITY COURT.

Two defendants were found guilty
in the police court yesterday of sell
ing liquor without a license, and were
fined by Recorder Alex. Zelius.
George Andrews, the Greek, was fin
ed $40 and costs, while Jim Fielder,
negro barber, was fined $24 and
costs. The Greek paid his fine and
was released.
Andrews was caught last Saturday
night upon a tip given the police by
a merchant sailor, who informed the
officers that a friend was spending
money freely in the Greeks place,
and was buying beer at rs cents per
bottle. When searched large guam
tity of liquors was found, and con-
fiscated.
Fielder, who keeps a barber shop
on Tarragona street, was also report
ed to have been dispensing the glass
that cheers in varying amounts, to
all who could keep secret and who
had the price. His tricks were soon
tipped off to the police, who soon had
the negro under arrest, this having
been couple of days ago. His trial
was purposely delayed until Tues
day when more time could be had in
the hearing Of the same.

St. M|cHAE[s WAS
|AbLNE WITH MANY
LIGHTED GAN dies
ALL-SOUL'S DAY WAS PERHAPS
MORE GENERALLY CELEBRA-
TED THAN IN RECENT PAST
IN PENSACOLA.

st. Michaels cemetery was ablaze
with countless candles last night, in
commemorative of All Souls Day,
and the very pretty ceremony was
said to have been more generously
celebrated this year than ever before.
The day before, or on Monday,
numerous lots in the, historic old
cemetery were cleared of every YES
tige of growth and choicest of flowers
were placed on the mounds. Last
night, in addition to the lowered
richness, the candles were all aglow
from early dusk.
During the day hundreds visited the
different cemeteries and admired the
flowers, while after nightfall almost
as many more were in the cemetery,
watching the last Pickering lights,
and their visits there recalled those
who had passed to the beyond.
The beautiful custom of All
Saints and All Souls Days had its
origin to the early days, says a late
authority, when Christians were ac-
custimed to solemnize the anniver-
saries of a martyrs death, for Christ
at the place Of martyrdom. In the
fourth century neighborhood dioceses
began to interchange feasts, to trans
fer them and to join in a common
feast, as is shown by the invitation
of st. Basil of Sesarea, in 397, to the
bishop Of the province of Pontus.
Frequently groups of martyrs suf-
fered on the same day, which natur-
ally led to a joint commemmoration
The church, believing every martyr
should be venerated, appointed com
mon day for all. At first, it was said
only martyrs and st. John the Baptist
were honored by special day. Other
saints were added gradually, and in.
creased in number when a regular
process Of canonization was establish.
ed. Gregory ~, who was Pope from
827 to 844, extended the celebration
of November IL to the entire church

for It's business was not protest but the
reconstruction of q government. and II

A certain very noticeable anxiety at

It was evident at first that the MEM

work of conference and debate with a
touch OF reluctance and apprehension.
They knew that their business was
critically important. It might be that

they got hold of their task and gained
knowledge Of one another.
There were 1fty-five delegates in at.

Rhode Island had sent commissioners.

System Much Needed in
Building Good Roads.

Building Good Roads.
Commissioner Of Agriculture W. A..
McRae, who spoke at the agricultural
exhibit in the Escambia County Fair
grounds yesterday afternoon, proved
to those who heard him that he has
some splendid ideas on road building
and bond issues.
It Is quite a pity that every voter
IN Escambia county was not present
to hear the address of Mr.. McRae.
He Is not theorist, but very prac-
teal and thorough business man. He
possesses the powers Of expression
necessary to carry the conviction to
his hearers that his ideas can easily
be adopted into any system where
cash is raised and expended in the
building and maintenance of good
roads.
Mr.. McRae's idea is to strike direct
ly for something tangible and prac-
tical IN the expenditure Of all monies
raised by bond issues or in any other
manner. It is only in this way that
any bond issue can be carried before
the public with any hope or prospect
of success. At least SO thinks the
commissioner, and The journal be-
lieves that in this view he is entirely
right.
There should be thorough system
of good roads worked out upon a
solid foundation and thorough busi-
ness basis which can be carried before
the people and discussed freely among
them before they are required to vote
upon it.
This system should be so thorough
and practicable as to touch in some
way every part of the county. Next
to this the people should be assured
and convinced by the plain presenta-
ton Of facts, not mere assertions, tina,
there will be no room for graft by
anybody at any point in the system
Every dollar expended should do 8
dollars worth of good in building 9
durable road.
When this step has been taken ane

to do the work should be clearl,

The civil engineers employed shout,
