Oliver Baker, who met his death near Yost's roadhouse, on the Chitina- Fairbanks trail, March 31. really was blown" to death. The Delta river at that point from the summit down the few miles intervening is nothing but a great glacier, with sometimes snow on it and sometimes not. On this occasion a 6O-mile wind took it off, leaving glare ice in many places. Baker, it is believed by those who were with him and who found the body, slipped and fell, perhaps while

.LOVABLE LADY
WELL KNOWN IN
THIS CITY. DIES.
MRS. T. 7. ALTERNATELY, WIFE OF
METHODIST MINISTER OF
THAT NAME. EXPIRES SUD-
DENLY AT EUTAw, ALA.

Relatives in Pensacola were shock
ed yesterday to receive a telegram
announcing the sudden death of Mrs
7. Y. Alternately, wife of Rev. T. Y,
Alternately, who was pastor of the
Gadsden Street Methodist church four
year ago, and who was weIl-known
in Pensacola.
The remains of the beloved LADY
will be conveyed to Flomaton, Ala,
today, where the funeral will take
place this afternoon.
Deceased was the mother of Mrs.
W. R. Bennett and Mrs. w. R. Ches-
ser, bot hof Pensacola, and they will
IN all probability go to Flomaton to-
day to attend the last sad obsequies.
Other Pensacola people, who knew
and esteemed the deceased lady high
ly, will also attend the funeral.
Mrs. Abernathy's death was sud
den, and occurred at Eutaw, Ala,
where her husband is in charge of
the Methodist church there. She had
been i'll very short time before the
summons came.
Deceased was a visitor here but a
short time ago, dividing her Pensa-
cola stay with her two married daugh-
tiers who reside in Pensacola. At that
time she was in apparently good
health, and left her relatives and
friends with that impression. That
made all the more painful the news
of her death, which was received yes
terday morning.

TWO STEAMERS
ARE READY TO
START LOADING
ONE ARRIVED FOR CARGO YES
TERDAY, WHILE ANOTHER
HAS BEEN IN STREAM AND
HAS JUST BEEN CHARTERED.

Two steamships made preparations
to start cargo possibly this morning,
one to start with timber from the
water, while the other will work for
a number Of days a cargo, of lumber
from lighters, one going to Italy and
the other to Spain.
The Dutch steamship Posiedon
reached Pensacola yesterday, 26 days
out from Amsterdam, consigned to
Garriga Company. Two or three days
out, according to the story told by
Captain Huges upon arrival, they
witnessed the destruction of British
trawler by a German submarine in
the Downs, near the English coast.
The Posiedon was brought to an an
chorage to save if possible any of the
seamen who might be swimming
about, but none were found, it is re-
lated, and the belief was expressed
that the entire number of fishermen
drowned. The Posiedon was anchored
in the stream Immediately upon ar
rival and shortly thereafter one lum-
ber-laden lighter after the other was
towed and moored to her side, and
this morning possibly four gangs viii
20 out and start the cargo, which viii
go to Spain.
The Italian steamer Natalie L, which
came here from Jacksonville without
charter, and which was in the market
for a fixture, was yesterday char.
tered by the M. A. Quina Export
Company, and late in the afternoon
| in line with orders from that export
ing firm, the steamer was moved VI
to q close-in timber berth. Cargo vii
hardly be started this morning, buf
timber from the water is said to fur
nish the largest item of the Italian
vessels billed cargo.

Hostilities With
Mexico Not Far Distant.

Developments of the past few days
are such that it can be safely asserted
that a clash between the United
States and the various bodies Of revo-
lutionists is not far distant. It has
been growing nearer every day since
Secretary Bryan rendered his resig-
nation and retired from Wilson's cab
met.
1t is very apparent that the United
States in calling in the South and
Central American representatives did
so with the view Of securing their CO.
operation in more aggressive plan
to pacify the rebellion ridden repub-
lie. The South and Central American
Republics cannot aid with armed
forces, neither can they help finan-
cially, but their moral support win be
of vast benefit, for it viii demonstrate
to the Mexicans that the United
States is not DESTROYS of annexing
president, suitable to rule the coun-
try's wealth but only of restoring a
government capable Of coping with

owners of spirited animals to consent
to the use of their horses for the
tournament 1t is quite certain the
animals will be returned urIarmed,
and the more horses thus loaned, the
bigger the day will be.
The committee also had a great
deal to say at the meeting yester-
day about the wedding which will be
pulled off on the day Of the tourna-
ment, and the indications are that
the happy bride and groom viii fare
better Immediately following the pub
lie ceremony than will possibly be
their portion throughout their entire
married life. The committee went
out yesterday afternoon to arrange
with restaurant for the married
couples meals, and other free privi-
leges will be accorded. The wedding,
from present indications, looks like
it will be one of the biggest features
of the day.
Other matters were discussed at
the meeting, which was held in the
rooms of the Fair Association in the
Brent building yesterday, and which
was attended by Messrs. Owen, Her
rider and Wells, committee.

how the French had Jagged in
the effectual settlement and mastery
OF the regions they had taken. could
wonder that In the final struggle for
supremacy the English had won and
the French lost everything there was
to fight for.
The French had been as long on the
continent as the English. and yet they
did not have one-tenth the strength OF
the English. either IN population or in
wealth. when this war came.
There were 5000 white colonists in

The English had been seeking, not
conquest, but comfort and wealth in
busy centers and populous country
sides, where their life now ran as
were still in the old lands of England
itself.
The French. on the contrary, were
placed whore their government wished
them to be; could hardly be said to

Measuring
Spelling Ability.

Seven out Of every 100 third-grade
public school children can not spell
thas." This and other curious evil
dences Of the special problems in
herent in the teaching Of spelling are
brought out by DR.. Leonard P, Ayres,
Of the Russell Sage Foundation, in a
study just published.
AS a result Of combining the four
most extensive studies that have been
made to identify the words commonly
used in different sorts Of English
writing. DR.. Ayres has selected the
1000 words that constitute 80 per
cent of the language ordinarily used.
This selection was made from various
English authors, from four Sunday
newspapers of Buffalo, N. Y, and
from the business and family CORE
spondence of over 1000 adults. The
objects of the study was to develop
a scale for measuring attainment in
the spelling Of common words on the
part Of school children"
Cooperating with the city superin-
tendents in 81 cities of the United
States. DR.. Ayres had the 1000 COM
monest words tested by an aggre-
gate Of 100000 spellings, secured
from 10000 public school children.
The result, according to DIR. Ayres,
made is possible to accurately measure
spelling ability, and to compute the
amount Of improvement in spelling
the same words from grade to grade.
By scale arrangement, extending
orNa line from 0 to 100, spelling
ability is easily scientifically de-
termined. For example, nine words of
most frequent use, viz, "the," Gin, !"
$50" mo- ''now," 'sman," ter" bed, /"
''top," revealed that second grade
pupils, on an average, spelled cor
rectly "a per cent of these words.
At the other extreme Of the scale the
words Judgment" recommend" and
"allege" were found to be spelled cor
rectly by just so per cent of eighth
grade pupils. Percentages above and
below these would indicate variations
from the normal in spelling.
DR.. Ayres finds that intellectual
abilities are distributed in much the
same way among people as are physi-
cal traits. Just as there are few
dwarfs, many people of medium
height, and very few giants; SO there
are very few exceedingly poor
spoilers, many medium ones, and very
few excellent ones. Few words dc
most of our work when we write
Fifty words constitute, with their re
petitions, one-half of the words writ
ten. The child who masters the 1000
words on the scale given make nc
spelling errors in nine-tenths of his
writing"

A Charter Board

"A Ou3rter BOARD
Pensacola will be the first city in
Florida to elect a charter board, I'M

The charter board draws no salaries
