DESIRES OFFERINGS OF OLD
GOLD, SILVER AND STONES

Editor Pensacola Journal:
For some years we have been gath
ering old gold, silver and precious
stones which are to be made up into
a chalice for the offering Of the
Holy Sacrifice of the Man. We have
almost enough for this grand chalice
as we expect it to be, but we feel
confident that there is much more old
gold and silver around in the differ
ent families and that they would be
only too glad to give it for this holy
purpose did they know of our inten-
tons in this respect.
There are many beautiful altar
vessels in the world babe by collec-
tons of old gold and silver from the
faithful.
st. Patriek's Cathedral, New York
for instance has an artistically made
0stensorium so large that it takes
two priests to give Benediction with
it. VIII you kindly apply through
your esteemed paper to the people Of
this section of the country. for am
material that might serve to make
this vessel as beautiful and precious
as possible, fit expression Of oul
love and generosity towards God il
divine services.

Not Much Of
a Story.

The old darkey was bent with age.
Rheumatism and paraly:Eed, he sat ON
Palafox street, begging his bread. He
had lived good, honest life, and had
earned his daily bread by the sweat
Of his brow, but now too old and too
feeble to work, he sat by the wayside,
waiting on the charity of the careless
people who passed him. He was only
an old darkey, broken and useless
a figure familiar on the street of the
city.
Down the street came little boot
black, black as the ace Of spades, and
as he came he whistled, and whistl-
ing, stopped and turned He ran his
fingers in his ragged pocket and drop
ped coin in the old darkey's hat.
The man who witnessed this and
who told me about it, stopped the
small darkey as he hurried away.
"How much did you give him." he
asked.
"a nickel"
How much have you made to-
day
"Ten cents" Then he ran his fin

in refutation of his mistake as to his

SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION
AS AN EDUCATIONAL FACTOR

Editor Pensacola Journal:
While travel to California and the
coast has not been as heavy this year
as mi~ht have been expected with two
expositions and the other usual Cali
fornia summer attractions as drawing
cards, hundreds of thousands Of peoL
pie have visited the two expositions
and have returned to their homes
pleased and instructed.
While some have said the San
Francisco exposition is not so great
as they We're led to expect it to be.
and some have even asserted that it
is not the equal of other worlds fairs
they have seen. the concensus is that
it is a great display and a great edu-
Gator. The San Francisco exnosi-
ton is worthy of visit :aside from
the recreation incident to such a trip
and every person needs recreation
and change once a year-there is a
big education in the exhibits. The
San Diego exposition should be seen
as a side trip. AS said before. there
is nothing very wonderful to be seen
there except the beautiful grounds
and the harmonious architecture and
grouping Of the buildings. but, since
it costs no more to see San Diego
than not to see it. every visitor to the
coast should 90 there, too, if but for
couple of days.
At the San Francisco exposition
however, are gathered exhibits from
all over the world-the latest ap-
pliances, machinery and developments
] in science, commerce, manufactures
education and art; even warfare. Il
puts one in touch with all that is go
ing on in the world. Things we reae
about may be seen with the eye

INDUSTRIES FOR PENSA-
COLA TO REPLACE LUMBER
AND NAVAL STORES

Editor Pensacola Journal:
About nine months ago | took up
my residence in your beautiful and
picturesque city.
During the period which has
elapsed since my arrival l have kept
my eyes and ears open.
/ have seen that your port has nat
ural advantages very much superior
to those of any other port which
have visited.
/ have noticed that the principal
exports from here are lumber, tur-
pentine, rosin, cotton and coal.
/ have noted with pleasure how
well your streets are paved and light
ed, and gather from appearance that
large amount of money has been ex-
pended in your efforts to beautify
the city.
On the other hand have seen that
there is a considerable amount of
unemployment, and also that there
are very great number Of untenant-
ed houses. / can understand that
the unemployment, and the number
of vacant houses is accounted for, to
great extent, by the way in which
business in your products has been
affected by this lamentable European
war.
have heard of the great prog
ress which your city has made in the
past generation and how it has grown
from small fishing village to its
present proportions.
have also heard that the supply
Of lumber, turpentine and rosin is a
diminishing quantity and that, con-
Isequently, you will, before long, re-
quire to seek other fields of enter
prise if you wish to sustain your rate
of progress.
No doubt your leading business
men realize this, and most probably
have schemes in view for the future,
but l should say that there is no time
like the present for making provi-
sions for the future, therefore, as a
stranger in your midst, crave the
privilege of making a suggestion, and
/ trust it will not be considered pre-
sumption on my part.
1t has struck me that you want to
find out what manufacturing indus
tries would be most suitable for the
city and neighborhood, and, having
made the discovery, to advertise the
advantages so as to induce capitalists
who understand those industries to
establish them here.

fifty dollars or more be offered fol

The Man at
The Helm.


There is man who sits alone IN
the still hours Of the night and faces
his God. All day he goes about His
Fathers business and at night he
must make an accounting of his days
work-he must face his Maker and
give an account Of his stewardship.
Did he who was bred in a parsof-
age,--whose adolescence knew the
Quiet ways Of the village and whose
manhood found the ee enic halls
rather than the camps heir chosen

thought and long research, presage
the striking of an hour when the
clocks Of the world would tell the
time Of strife-an hour when he
alone, Of ali the leaders Of all the
world must hold in his hands the
scales Of justice.
In those long hours that came to
him in the still watches Of the night
he hears the CRY of the world DINING

clahoring at his doors,-the armies

And as they 60 they turn their

He who sits alone at night when

bred in quiet paths and nurtured in

the iron that goes to the making Of
men. This academic professor, in the
years spent among his books lived
with the great souls of the centuries
to some purpose. For somewhere
somehow he found courage, strength
firmness, and force. Such courage
and such strength as no leader before

European War Will
Cause Prosperity.

That the European war will event
ually cause an era of prosperity that
will extend to every corner of the
United States is the belief firmly ex-
pressed by the best thinkers of this
country. The Lynn Haven Tribune,
one of the best edited and conducted
! papers in West Florida, in its recent
issue contains a lengthy and very in
teresting editorial on the subject Of
the benefits to be derived by Amer
lea, in the course of which it says:
In either way the United States
every month, every week, every day
is making tremendous earnings that
have to be paid for by Europe in Sc
curities satisfactory to ourselves
This means that no country in the
worlds history through commerce
ever made as much available profits
as the United States is doing now, al
| the present moment.
Europe hesitates to send any more
gold than she can help, desiring Of
course to keep her gold reserve al
large as possible, but on the other
hand her capitalists prefer to keeI
American securities above all other!
because they consider them quite
naturally the safest investments
they have.
Still Europe must do one or tn,
other as our fnanciers and manufac
turers insist on such payments Gus

goods they must accept our terms.
As the war goes on the amount o.
American securities available is grow
ing less and less until shortly Europ,
will have no choice but to send US al
gold payments.
It therefore seems inevitable tina
the United States if the war contin
ues will not only become the chic.

enjoy an era of prosperity that our
people never even dreamed of.
In the interim these vast sums ar,
not loose but are busy and doing dut,

Increasing American
Trade In Russia.

Extension of Russian trade through

confer with him regarding his timer
airy, and will assist, through the ia
cilities afforded by the bureau, in
gaining as wide hearing for him as
possible.
The project for a Russian-Ameri-
can bank in Russia has been brought
to the attention of Consul General
John H. Snodgrass at Moscow, and
he has received a letter signed by
the president, vice president, general
manager, and secretary of tn Rus
