THE ISIS TODAY
LOCAL PENSACOLA WILL GATH
Err TO-DAY AND GREET THESE
GREAT ENTERTAINERS.

Today the Phunmakers reign SUI
preme at the Isis theatre, and loyal
Pensacolians will turn out to give
these popular fellows" help toward
making their coming Mardi Gras pa
rade big success. The Isis will
open as usual with feature film en-
titled, my Old Dutch" featuring Al
bert Chevalier, the noted coster singer
and artist. This picture was to be
shown here Thursday at 20 cents, but
as special inducement was given to
the Phunmakers to include in their
show. The Phunmaker talent will first
appear at 4 p. m. in "a special matinee
for the ladies and children. Each
artist will be on hand for this matt
nee, and that argues well for an
entertainment that will appeal. The
next two shows will be at 7:30 and
8:45 p. M, making three shows in all
at which the artists appear. The pic
lures will be as usual conducted
throughout the day.
In the talent cast for today's per-
Torrance, we find such prominent
semi-professionals and amateurs as
DIR. S. R. M. Kennedy, Messrs. George
Hervey, Johnny Jones, John Frenkle.
Gerald Quina and Miss Janet Allen.
Each and every one of these artists
will appear in some act that is better
suited to their respective abilities. In
other words for the sum of twenty
cents for grown ups and ten cents fol-
children, Pensacolians will see a show
well worth dollar. The very fact
that lily Old Dutch" will be feature

WRITES STORY THE
SHIPS MOVEMENTS
DENIES THAT ANYTHING WAS
WRONG AND DETAILS voY-
AGE SINCE LEAVING PENSA-
COLA WITH HER CARGO.

Second Mate Amundsen, of the
steamship Zealandia, having been
commanded by Captain Devantier to
write a story of the vessels move
ments, has done so, the story being
recital from the time the steamer
left here until she reached New York.
The second mate is well-known here,
as well as Capt. Devantier, both of
whom made new friends while in PEN
sacola harbor. The story of the off,
Ger is as follows:
The Mates Story.
BY Hedge Amundsen, Second Officer
of the American Steamship Zea-
landia.
So much has been written about
the recent doings Of and happenings
to the steamer Zea1andia that the
public is entitled to true and IN
vanished statement of the facts.
The Zealandia is steay ip OF
200 tons gross, carries about -four
thousand tons dead weight, and be-
longs to the Fiske Trading Company
of New York. On her last trip she
was chartered to load cargo OF
general merchandise at United States
and Mexican ports for Malno, Swe-
den. Part of this cargo-about two
thousand barrels Of resin-was loaded
at Tampa and Pensacola, in which
latter place she was loaded full with
coal for Tampico, Mexico.
She left Pensacola on Oct. 8. Wher
she arrived off Tampico it was found
that the bar had been shifting during
recent hurricane, and that there
was only seventeen feet of water
there. The coal and its draught was
twenty-three feet. Consequently she
could not enter the port and was de.
tanned outside for eleven days, await
ing orders from the owners.
Finally she was ordered to Cam.
peche, and on her arrival outside the
port was told to proceed to Progreso
Blames Pro- English Press.
In the meantime the American
press had been telling all kinds OF
wild stories about the Zealandia, she
was filibuster ship, she was armed
she had picked up runaway German
naval officers at sea, she had hoistec

cola, and had fired at an English oil
tank steamer.
All Of these stories are absolutely
without any foundation. They were
evidently fabricated by English OF
pro-English press agents. The ru-
mors grew to alarming proportions.
1t was no joke to the Zealandia'e
owners. Frightened by the reports
the charterers decided to cancel
the charter party, thereby causing the
loss to the ship Of remunerative
freight and much valuable time. be-
sides other expenses.
Then the English admiral COM
handing the squadron in Mexican
waters decided to act and sent the
cruiser Isis to keep an eye on our
by that time, highly suspicious ship
The Isis, on her arrival outside OF
frogreso, saw the Zealandia was al
anchor off shore, and immediately
sent boat full Of men armed with
rifles, revolvers and cutlasses aboard
and searched the vessel despite the
captains protest and his warning that
the vessel was inside the three-mila
limit.
Bound to Neutral Ports.
Captain Devantier explained tha'
the Zealandia was an American YES
sci bound to neutral ports, and de-
manded an explanation for The
searching Of an American vessel II
neutral waters.
The lieutenant Of the boarding
party replied that explanation woult
be made in Washington, and that Il
was not his duty to explain anything
He was there to search the ship and
inspect her papers, he said.
At the conclusion of the search
three armed men were left aboare
while the rest of the party returnet
to the Isis. Several hours later ths
three men were called and the Zea'
landia was not molested again.
The American consul, being notified
of the outrage, at once wired thu
state department in Washington and
caused the Mexican harbor authorities
to officially determine the Zealandia'l
position, which proved to be 2.6 miles
off shore, or well within the three
mile limit.

P[NsACOL|ANS IN
BOATS NARROWLY
ESCAPED CYCLONE
CAPT. CHARLES DILLON HAD
PARTY ON ESCAMBIA RIVER
WHEN BAD STORM PASSED
NEAR.

Capt. Charles Dillon, of the launch
Idler, who made trip up into the
Escambia river Friday, and who in
tended to return early Saturday with
the party in his charge, reached home
late Sunday night. The delay was
caused by his boat having been almost
completely lifted from the water and
set on a sand bar, having been con
the edge" of the cyclone which passed
SO uncomfortably near Saturday morn
ing. The boat was gotten off after
much effort, and was unhurt.
Several passengers whom he had
carried were in another part of the
river in smaller boat, on the trail
of ducks which had been sighted. They
were unframed, but their boat was
roughly tumbled about and was final
ly lodged in some rushes on the side
of the river. There it settled gently,
and was prevented from being
swamped, as moment earlier 1t had
been expected it would be.
Capt. Dillon, upon being asked
about the storm yesterday, said that
he never knew the wind to blow so
hard. II should say it was stiff, and
it appeared to have been blowing not
in a straight-away line, but almost in
a circle. That was something new to
me, but had no time to watch or take
observations, for the Idler was just
then keeping me busy. You could
hear that wind whiz with its awful
force. / can say that my boat was
hauled out on the beach without
charge one time, for it was almost
clear. Of the water, and we had to get
it off ourselves, for no help could be
had for love nor money there. Every
body seemed to be busy. 1t was the
most prosperous community I ever
heard Of. We got off all right by
making use Of the Idler's wheel a
good deal, and got safe home last
night. / never want to be in another
such storm, and let me tell you, 1t
was cyclone all right. We did not
feel the full force of it."

AJEW|sH'
DEDICATION FEAST,
BEGINS THURSDAY
WHICH WAS oRIGI-
NALLY DESIGNED TO UNITY
ALL PEOPLES, IS STILL KEPT
IN MEMORY.

Hanukkuh, the Jewish Feast Of
Dedication, begins on Thursday Of
this week and extends over period
of eight days. OF course there will
be asgeneral observance of the solemn
event at this point, and appropriate
services will be held at the Temple
BETHEL, q more extended notice of
which will later be given.
The account of the origin of this
feast is set forth in the book of Mac
cabees. The Syrian king, Antiochus
Epphianes, had determined to unity
all the peoples Of his kingdom. To
accomplish this he believed it neces-
sary to compel all to adopt a COM
mon religion.
Judaism must be destroyed" be-
came the watchword of the Syrian
court. In 1853 B. C. the royal COM
inand went forth that shrines and al
tars be erected for idol worship. Jew
ish rites and practices were interdict-
ed. The sacred writing wherever
found were destroyed. Direst perse-
cutions were visited upon the faithful.
As . climax IN the campaign to extin-
guish the: Jewish faith, the altar in
the Temple at Jerusalem was pro-
famed.
After three years Of successful
warfare against the Syrians, Judas
Maccabeus was in position to dedi-
cate q new altar at Jerusalem, the
festivities IN connection with the ded-
ication lasting eight days. To COM
memorate this event, "Judas and his
brethren and the whole congregation
Of Israel ordained that the dedica-
ton Of the altar should be kept in
their seasons from year to year by
the space Of eight days from the
25th day Of Kislev with gladness and
joy" This festival is also known as
the "Feast Of Lights" probably be.
cause burning lamps and torches in
the ancient temple and home were
used to celebrate.
Of this festival today is the kindline
Of lights in the home and in the syna.
gogue; one on the first evening, the
rumber being increased by one OF
each consecutive evening, until eight
lights are it>on the last evening Of
the festival. Special prayers inspired
by the historic event commemoratine
the triumph Of monotheism over
heathenism, of the forces Of light
over; the forces of darkness are re.
cited. Special scripturai portions are
read in the synagogue. The festival
does not call for cessation from labor
| and il therefore regarded as one Of
the minor feasts in the Jewish calen.
dar. In modern times children's fes.
titals, ID which the story and signif-
Icance Of the feast are recomted, have
become q marked feature in the cele.
lbrafion Of the Feast of Dedication.

The most valuable corn crop in
Kansas this year, taking it by and

backyard of William E. Kelly, 4
Hutchinson, Kans., official.
There are only eight stalks of
the corn, but Kelly expects to
realize a net profit of $1,000 cash
from his crop. Last spring q Bsp
list preacher, DR. K. B. Pratt,
while 5n a visit in New Mexico,
recovered in an ancient Aztec ruin
a mummy, within which was
found sealed an Indian jar con-
tanning a few grains of ancient
Indian corn.
The arohaeologists figure the
corn was at least 1000 years old.
The Rev. Mr.. Pratt gave ten grains
to Kelly on his return to Hutch-
inson. Kelly carefully planted
them.
Eight of ten grains grew, the
corn growing more rapidly than
ordinary field corn. There are
twenty ears now on the eight
stalks, and they average fifty
kernels to the ear.
The csrn looks like ordinary
field corn as it. grows, but the
stalks are much taller and the
ears smaller, white the kernels
