HappyChristmas
. President Grant and His
Tribe" Enjoyed 1t In
the White House

NHE Christmas or lSO9 round the
happy, wide awake family Of
General Grant settled in the
White House. 1t was just
fourscore years on March since Mrs.
washington was executive mistress"
During their eight years in the White
House the Grants were counted an un-
usually happy home circle.
All their holidays were marked with
simplest pleasures and unselfish char
tiles. Mrs. Grant was very systematic
in her charities. She made lists and
distributed Christmas gifts with wis.
dom and good sense There was no
end of calls upon them soon after the
war, and none went away empty.
In 1870 President Grants father
spent Christmas at the White House.
The sons came home from college, and
Nellie and her friends made the old
house ring with good times. Mrs. Ere
mont gave them dancing reception,
and the sewing club Of which Nellie
was the president had a wonderful
Christmas entertainment, furnished
mostly from the White House.
General Grant, like General Sher-
man, had great love for children and
their pleasures. One Christmas the
matinee was "The adventures and
misadventures of Clown and Panta-
loon in the wonderful pantomime of
Jack and the Beanstalk,' - and the
White House children were determined
to go.
snow, father. please" urged Nellie
Grant, and Eyes, father, you promised
u.s." said Jesse, and General Sherman
said, "We'll go, all of us, and take the
whole tribe"
| And they did-uncles and cousins,
several distinguished generals and the
president. Officers of church and state
were forgotten in the ridiculous pranks
of "Jack and the Beanstalk." A great
banquet was afterward served in the
state dining room by the new steward,
Melah. All the distinguished guests
Joined with the children In games and
fun. There were music and prone
nades through the east room.
The Child Immortal.
| On Mary's arm soft slept the child
And dreaming still caressed
The pillow Of her snowy breast.
| And as he slept he smiled
He slept and dreamed-he dreamed ana
smiled
| The centuries come and go,
But stiIl that bit of heaven we know
| The mother and the child.

Astrology finds this an evil day, for
Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn are
strongly adverse. Early in the morn
ing Mars is in benefc aspect.
The planets are held to indicate
that the world is subject to influences
tending toward insane theories re-
garding human rights, and the Euro
pean war is believed to be but the
expression of years in which wrong
thinking has wrought final destruc-
ton to established systems of govern
ment and commerce.
Under the malign rule of Uranus
and Saturn statesmen are to max
mistakes that will increase the hor-
rors Of the final conflict among ma
tions.
This is an unfortunate day for all
financial transactions. Bankers should
be unusually wary.
Although Mars is friendly during
this CONFORMATION, there is sign in
dicating the movement of troops in
the United States. The stars seem to
presage trouble on the borders of the
country, martial rather than naval.
Warning is given that the middle Of
September may bring troubles Of vari-

LEVEL RAISE HAS
HAD MANY CONSEQUENCES

London, Aug. 29.-The raising of
the general interest level in the Brit
ish money markets through the issue
of the war loan has had many unex-
pected consequences. One of these,
just noted by the financial journals; is
disposition on the part of mort
gagees to call in their mortgages, so
that they may invest the money to
better advantage.
''The movement is not perhaps I'M
natural, but its effect upon the own
ers of mortgaged property is in many
cases embarrassment of a disastrous
nature" remarks the Times. Ere
ouently the mortgagor regards the
mortgage not as short term loan
but as an investment, and he is placed
in extreme difficulty when the loan
is called in, not because he had de-
faulted on the interest payments
which he has kept up regularly for
years, nor because there is the slight
est chance of his defaulting, but be-
cause the lender can use the money
to better advantage under the new
conditions which have arisen"

Paris, Aug. 20, $40 a. m.-The FL
CARO- in an editorial today on the
Arabic situation says:
Germany is a universal distribu-
tor Of excuses. She handed them to
Denmark and Holland and would like
to hand them to the United States.
The point is, will the American gov
eminent be satisfied with such base
coin? For German excuses imply
neither repentance nor Intention not
to relapse. Wilhelm-strasse expects
that she. will be quiet for a platitude.
But the German pitcher has gone to
the American well too often; it is too

new one is wanted. President Wilson

Street PARADE
Of WOODMEN TO
Be BIG FEATURE
EVERY COMPANY IN CAMP WITH
SEVERAL BANDS AND CIVIC
FOLLOWERS, WILL MARCH IN
CITY TUESDAY.

Every company of the Uniform
Camp, w. o. W., will appear in the
grand street parade to be given to-
morrow, Tuesday, night, starting at
7:30 o'clock. Some six to nine hun
dred uniform men may be in the line
of parade, and it will be one of the
most attractive of parades of the ma
ture ever witnessed here. Good wealth
er is being hoped for, and should
the elements be right, it will mean
that much more interest.
The Uniform Camp men will come
from the Palmetto Beach camp site
at o'clock, and will be ready to move
promptly at 7:30 o'clock. The route
will follow that previously announced,
and will be as follows:
Form at the corner of Main and
Palafox streets, there disembarking
from the cars. They will be marched
north on the west side of Palafox
street to Wright, then wheel and come
to halt at point in Mallory Court,
where platform will be occupied by
the prominent men who will address
the crowd. Mr.. Rollo will be master
of ceremonies, or chairman of this
meeting, and will introduce the sew
eral prominent speakers, as follows:
Mayor Greenhut will extend well
come to the visiting Woodmen, and a
response will be heard from General
George Fl. Younger.
An address from the Pensacola
Chamber of Commerce will be spoken
by the president, Mr.. Dobson, re-
spouse to be made by Gen. w. T. Nall.
The Rotarians will extend a well
come through the president, Mr.. Will
lam Fisher, and response will be from
Col. c. D. Mills.
A welcome on behalf of the Bust
ness and Financial Interests of the
city will be offered by R. w. Good
hart, to which response will be made
by Col c. L. Mather.
Welcome from the Woodmen of the
City of Pensacola and the State of
Florida will be made by R. P. Reese,
to which response will be made by
Col. H. A. Elkourie. This response
gives premise of being one of the real
set features of the evening, as Col.
Elkourie is an orator of some con-
siderable note, and will be given the
privilege of speaking at greater
length than any other speaker to be
heard. Col. Elkourie, surgeon by
vocation, is chief of staff of the Bir-
mingham Hospital Association, a di-
rector of the Birmingham Chamber
of Commerce and a leading citizen
| generally of that city.
This will complete the speaking,
and the companies will then be
marched to the cars and be hurried
to the camp grounds.

SOLDIERS ACT
BEING PROBED
MUSICIAN FROM FORT BAR
RANCAs, ARRESTED AND FIN
ED TWICE IN ONE DAY, SUB
JECT OF SOME INQUIRY.

Ludwig Bentz, a musician, from
Fort Barrancas, arrested twice and
fined each time in single day, is
the subject of official inquiry, as it
was alleged by the police department
that the soldiers acts were not COM
mandatory, and report last night
in police circles had it that the
musician will be severely repri-
manded, in addition to other punish
ment, if the allegations which the
police present against MIN are sub
stantiated.
Bentz was arrested first for gen.
eral disorder, and was released in a
small bond. Two hours afterward
he was again sent to the station on
a more serious charge. Being I'M
able to make bond the second time
and really being in no condition to
be on the streets, he was locked up
and tried the following morning,
when two fines of 81 and costs each
were imposed by the recorder.
1t was when Bentz, after being re-
leased, was said to have set in
to curse everything and everybody
whom he could call to mind, and a
policeman said that oaths were
thought to have been directed to the
American flag, which is one of the
serious allegations which the post is
said to have started an inquiry into
The soldier did curse out policeman
or two, and threw in the city of Pen
sacola for good luck, it was stated, al
