ICE CREAM VENDORS
FOUND UNLICENSED

License Inspector Frank x. Carroll
Monday discovered that quite num-
Der of fruit stand proprietors were
selling ice cream without the license
required by law, and he had warrants
made against about dozen such Of
tenders. Five Greeks, who were
first found to have been selling with
out license, were taken into custody,
but soon had their cases mol pressed
when they paid their license fees and
this was what the city desired. Other
cases which we're made for quite a
number of corner store proprietors
will probably result in the latter be-
ing presented for trials in the re-
cordeF's court this morning.
The city imposes special tax OF
SO for the privilege of retailing ice
cream, but dozens of places are said
to have been operated before this was
paid.

MAIL SERVICE
WITH MILTON

Mail from Jacksonville and inter
mediate points reached Pensacola
Monday and caused many persons to
think that railroad connection had
been established, but such was not the
case. The mail was brought from
Milton, where it has been since last
Wednesday, when westbound No. 2
from River Junction, was forced to
stop during the storm.
It was stated that it would be i'm
possible to get further mail from
Jacksonville until train service was
resumed, but that the Milton mail
would be continued on the City of
Tampa, and Lynn Haven, Panama
City and other points along the coast
will be carried by the Tarpon.
In speaking of the plans Of the de-
partment in routing mails, Assistant
Postmaster Baker stated that if rail
connection was made with Montgom-
cry, mail could be carried to Jack
sonville and points east over lines
from the north.

COST TRIFLE LESS
TO FEED PRISONERS

Prisoners at the city jail were fed
at trifle less during the past month,
according to the police chiefs report,
than they were for several months
previous. One reason for this is the
slight change Of diet which Chef
Spottswood has been working out,
and which has brought the cost from
near nine cents down to seven and
seven-eighths cents. The total cost
or providing the ISIS meals served
was given as $206.06, which included
the salary of the cook and the very
necessary expenses.
The number Of arrests during the
past month was 55s, and the amount
imposed in fines aggregated $1,752, OF
which a little better than so per cent
was collected, or but $995.50.
Chief of Police Sanders yesterday
fled the report for the past month
with the board Of commissioners, and
it was read at the meeting last aft
ernoon.

YACHTS ARE OFF
FOR new ORLEANS

The New Orleans yachts left Pen
sacola Monday morning, the weather
being sufficiently settled to make the
trip pleasant one. The yachts have
been locked up in Pensacola since the
Fourth of July, when they came here
in the long distance Carlo cup race
from New Orleans. All of the YES
sells had good berths and practically
no damage was suffered by the craft.
It is the fifth year that the boats
from New Orleans have run to Pen
sacola contesting for the Carlo cup,
and on nearly every other occasion
the weather has been ideal for yacht
ing cruises. This year, however, they
were put to a severe test, and came
through without scratch.
Nine yachts were here on the
Fourth, all taking part in the re-
gatta, Commodore Jahncke's Quick
silver and Glendoveer left Immediate
ly after the races, and were reported
safe in New Orleans.

Baltimore was safe inside and
anchored in shallow water, where, if
she sank it would be easy to lighter
her, a boarding officer was sent
aboard to learn Of the way in which
the wrecked ship came to grief.
Captain Holmes said that he had
left Tampa thirty-three days before,
bound for Houston, Texas, with phos-
plate rock. On July he ran into the
hurricane, carrying away his weather
rigging, forcing him to run before the
gale under bare poles. After thirteen
hours the ever-increasing seas caused
the vessel to roll so badly that her
spars were snapped off near the deck
and went by the board.
The heavy cargo of rock opened the
seams, and had the storm continued
its terrific force, the schooner would
certainly have gone down. The next
day the seas moderated, he was en-.
abled to rig jury masts and, under
short sail he limped as far as the
place he was sighted. Here he

The Negro people take pride in the
fact that 1t was the charge Of Negro
troops at San Juan hill in the Spanish

there and that Negroes have fought
bravely in every war in which this
country has engaged. The Negro was

prices which our farmers are re-
ceiving for these commodities on ac-
count Of the war
The brcadstuffs group ranks among
the first Of those tremendous war or
ders which are responsible for the
return of marvellous though temper
airy prosperity to the United tSates.
But man shall not live by bread
alone. Heavy demands from Europe
for all our products are responsible
for the great Increase in our exports
BE It remembered that the opportunity
for Europe to manufacture for export
trade has been terribly curtailed by
the war. Not only do we furnish the
bclligcrcnts with a large share of their
munitions, but we are getting into
their markets with various other
American products. Out Of this con-
ditIon Of affairs the Democrats are
trying to make political capital. 1t is
clear to every business man, however,
that we will continue to export sup
plies to Europe as long as the war
lasts, whichever party is in power,
but the only party which brings a
guarantee Of genuine prosperity after
the war is the party that consistently
advocates a protective tariff policy.
