of all the steam laundries in Pen
sacola were present as guests Of the
club.
]. B. Perkins made an interesting
talk on the laundry business, and ex-
planned the development of improved
methods and new appliances. He
spoke of the advantages of clean,
sanitary laundries, and traced the his

time when the wet garments were
placed between stones and pounded
until clean, to the modern steam
plant where practically all processes
are handled by machinery. Mr.. Per-
kins was followed by w. C. Mackey,
who also made a short talk on the
laundry business. Other guests of
the club were r. M. Merritt and J.
M. Perkins.

mess and the program was well re-
ceived by all members. The amuse'
ment feature of the meeting was par

scented to each member, which closely
resembled the ordinary pay envelope

tain needle and thread, suspendel

MAYOR LOOKING UP
SOME NEEDY CASES

Mayor George Hinrichs, accompan-
led by j. N. Andrews and j. Fischer
Tuesday, personally investigated the
source of repeated requests Of aid
from the city, coming from people
who alleged they had been badly hit
by the July storm. The mayor had
received requests for aid and as re-
quests came so steadily, he decided
to investigate. Accordingly he en-
listed the two citizens named, and
went down into the lower parts of the
city, where they found ample reasons
for asking portion of the fund
which the government has set aside.
Mayor Hinrichs named q. number of
families which he and his compan-
ions had found, and whom, they said,
they would report to the engineering
office, Montgomery, which, acting for
the war department, is the disburse-
ment agency of the flood and storm
funds. The families thus deprived of
home and means of livelihood, reside
on the waters edge, five on the west
side, near Perdido wharf, and one on
the east side.

THOS. BARTON NOW
IN CITY; FATHE R
WAS KILLED IN 1874

Thomas Barton, once of Pensacola,
now of New Orleans, is in Pensacola
looking up old-time friends of his
father. And he has found a lot, too,
for John Barton was one of the best
known and best liked of Pensacola's
citizens before he was struck by light
ming in the middle seventies.
Thomas Barton, the guest of r. G.
v. Smith, among others, visited VIM.
H. Knowles Tuesday morning. Here's
a man who wants to see if you re-
member his father" said Mr.. Smith.
'He was killed a good many years
ago." "Was he struck by lightning ?"
asked Mr.. Knowles. Eyes" 'Was his
name John Barton?" eyes"
'Dear me-" said Mr.. Knowles, tell
ing of it, 81 don't know what made
me think of old John all of sudden
like that. Yes, I do, too, because I
never will forget the day. was boy
at the time. 1t was in 1874 or rs,
somewhere about then. Anyway, I
was one of the first to reach John
Barton's side.
"He had been fixing a lamp in his
store on the southeast corner of AL
caniz and Romano streets. 1t was a
grocery store, and he lived in the
back. Our house was just across the
street. There came an awful clap of
thunder and somebody cried out that
john Barton was killed. / ran over,
with some others. The lightning had
passed through the house, struck him
and killed him instantly, torn the shoe
off his foot, and had then leaped
through the chimney, blasting it, and
hurting the bricks down on a baby
sleeping on a bed in the next room,
And Thomas Barton said to me this
morning, T was that baby'-great big
six-footer that he is.
MRS. Barton shortly after sold out
her husbands business and moved up
north again. Now Thomas is back
gathering memories of his father and
doing homage at his grave in St
Michael's cemetery.
Pensacola was quite a different
looking place in those days." said Mr.
Knowles, in reminiscent mood. "Thert
were only about 5000 inhabitants
and the town was nothing but wooC
no brick stores like now. The seq
came to where Louis Bears store nov
stands"
Thomas Barton is the guest of R
G. " Smith. His father came here
on a casual visit and settled in Pen
sacola; and who knows but Thomas
. will do the same.

VESSEL, IS YEARS IN
SERVICE, IS STILL
DOING DUTY HERE

It may not be generally known that
vessel builty eighty-six years ago is
still doing yeoman service in Pensa-
cola bay and adjacent waters. 1t is
a fact that vessel, the sloop Mag
nolia, owned by Mrs. ]. A. House
man, and plying from this city to up
Sound points, is almost weekly Wis
itor to Pensacola, bringing naval
stores to this point and carrying mer-
chandise on the return trip.
The Magnolia was built in 1880
at Pennington, Miss, according to
the list of merchant vessels of the
United States as published by the de-
partment of commerce and labor, and
has had a checkered career. This
vessel has probably out-lived more
storms than many a newer and more
up-to-date craft doing weekly duty
here, and was one of the survivors
of the several storms which have pre-.
vailed while the Magnolia was il
port.
The vessel is forty feet long, 15.l
feet beam and IA feet in depth, &C
cording to the "blue book" records.

FILES A LIBEL
AGAINST ITALIAN
BARK IN PORT

A libel was filed in the federal court
Tuesday by Lucrese Ogoshino against
the Italian bark Firth of Dornoch, for
$237, which he alleges was due him by
the vessel when he was discharged. A
pauper's plea was also filed with the
libel by the hbellant, to avoid paying
costs in the case.
The Firth of Dornoch has discharg-
ed ballast at her moorings on the
east side of Commandments street
wharf. Up to late hour Tuesday
afternoon no bond had been filed. 1t
is understood that certain repairs
must be made before the boat takes
cargo, and was planning to have the
work done in Mobile.
