FUNERAL SERVICES
OVER REMAINS LATE
COL. CIV. THOMPSON
LARGE NUMBER OF sORRoWING
FRIENDS ASSEMBLED A T
HOME, CHURCH AND GRAVE
TO PAY LAST RESPECTS.

A large number Of sorrowing
friends assembled yesterday to pay
last sad respects to the memory Of
the late Col C. v. Thompson, whose
death took place the day before, and
whose demise was mourned by many.
There was probably never more af-
fected number gathered within the
portals of the First Presbyterian
church than those of yesterday, for
the man who had passed away was
known to practically all present, and
was held in the highest esteem. And
those present also knew that the elo-
quent tribute paid the deceased by
Rev. Mr. Moffett was in no way over
drawn. Mr. Moffett knew the de-
ceased for many years himself, and
never spoke with more feeling and
sincere meaning than when he eulo-
gized the man who had been an elder
in the First Presbyterian church for
the past thirty-three years. And in a
prayer, which was offered at the con-
clusion of the services, Mr.. Moffett
remembered those old comrades of
Col. Thompson in well-spoken petit
ton, at the conclusion of which many
of the old soldiers who totteringly fol-
lowed the Confederate flag covered
casket to the church and to the grave
were in tears.
The funeral cortege left the home
on East Gadsden street at 8 O'Clock
and moved to the First Presbyterian
church. Pallbearers were w. B. Fer
ris, VIM. Ray, Fred S. Mellen, w. S
Garfield, J. r. Keller, Clyde Wilson
Mr.. Lewis. 'How Firm a Founda.
tion," one of the tavorite selections OF
the deceased, was rendered by choir
and prayer was offered by Rev. J. B
Slaughter, pastor of the First Meth
odist church.
The gray casket was conveyed from
the church and deposited in the wait
ing hearse, and, despite the shower
which then prevailed, a large numbe,
followed the casket to the grave
which had been prepared to receive i
in beautiful st. Johns cemetery.

YACHT IS IN PORT
THE JANE w." WITH OWNER
AND PARTY OF GUESTS
ABOARD, MAKING TRIP TO
NEW ORLEANS FROM MIAMI.

En- route from Miami to New Or
leans, thence up the Mississippi river,
the handsome private yacht Jane ~,

a manufacturer of chemicals, put into
port yesterday and was last evening
moored at the east side of Palafox
wharf. It will remain a few days
here, and hence will continue on her
way to the Crescent City.
The Jane " went to Miami several
weeks ago, and it was decided to make
the return trip to her home port up
the Mississippi river, So much had
been heard of Pensacola, however,
that it was decided to include this
port in their itinerary.
Before they leave, it was said yes
terday, they will make cruises in Pen
sacola bay, and may make trips to va
rious places of interest in the bay and
surroundings.
It was stated that a number OF
yachts have wintered at or near
Miami, and that a great numb -r'''
come by way of Pensacola c CT
way north, because their owners have
heard so much of this point.

lily in the pretty home at the south
west corner of Strong street and Six

denial to the allegations that there
was anything unsanitary about his
home, as had been alleged in an
earlier publication.
''My home is screened throughout,
as clean and as perfect as any home
to be found, and | want to deny Just

tons which have been reported are
existing at or near my home. To
prove that it is not so, refer you to
the city health officer, who looked
over the premises at my request"
DR.. Mobiles, the city health officer,
said: 81 went out to Mr.. Lees home,
one of the prettiest and neatest on the
hill, and can say that there are no
unsanitary conditions there. The
people who furnish any such infor-

white man named Hester, a driver,

sible for the disappearance of a large
supply of brass from a number OF
places, and Hester is alleged to have
been good customer of the black
man, by taking it off his hands at q
rather reduced figure, as to the real
worth of the brass.
Numerous complaints had been re.
ceived of the disappearance of bras:
from number of places in the city
mills, railroad yards, foundries, etc.

NOT MORE THAN 2O
CASES Of TYPHOID
SINCE JANUARY |
REPORTS CIRCULATED IN PEN.
SACOLA DURING THE PAST
TEN DAYS GREATLY EXAG'
GERATED.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Ny attention was called to a state
ment in this afternoons paper, which
is in error, and therefore should be
corrected. The statement follows:
s'Reports from the state board of
health bacteriologist show that
oysters sold in the East Hill section
have become polluted with colon bac-
terra, from which typhoid fever
comes"
/ beg to call attention to the fact,
that nowhere in the report furnished
by the bacteriologist, does he mention
that oysters sold in the East Hill Sec
ton were infected, nor is it true, that
typhoid fever comes from colon bac-
terra. Nor does the report say so.
The presence of colon bacteria is
an indication of sewage pollution,
and shows that the contents of some
sewer is polluting the water and in
the instance referred to the oysters
in the water. But typhoid fever is
not caused by colon bacteria.
1t is reasonable to suppose, that if
the excavations from typhoid patients
are put into sewer that is discharg-
ing into the bayou-or the bay in
fairly close proximity to oyster beds
that the typhoid bacillus, (of which
there are many millions in a few
dropsl, can reach these oysters as
easily as does the colon bacillus and
TvI5ob xyyoe &bo oua foy,pd
The colon bacillus is an index of
sewage pollution.
The impression should not be given
that Pensacola is in the throes of a
typhoid epidemic for such is not the
case. / doubt, if there has been more
than twenty cases of typhoid since
January 1st. 1t would be ridiculous
to attribute pollution. Many of them
are no doubt fy-born, due to oper
surface closets, improperly screened
and to direct contact with discharges
from typhoid patients. Some of the
cases contracted the disease in other
cities, and brought it with them.
Knowing that oysters from Ger
tain sections are polluted it behoovel
those who eat them to see that they
are thoroughly cooked-and to ca
none in a raw state. There should b.
restriction placed on bedding oyster
in waters adjacent to any sewer out
let. The offending Romano stree
sewer should be closed, but we mus
no lose sight of the fact that Their
is city ordinance, and a state Law
compelling the screening of thos
toilets not connected with a sewer
and the authorities should see that n
stone is left unturned to compel al
to comply with the law in this re
spect.
| The state board of health furnishe
typhoid vaccine free to all who ar
) unable to pay the small price Of fit
, cents, now charged for this vaccine
, which gives absolute protectio
against typhoid for two and hal
to three years, and there is no physi
clan who would refuse to give hi
services free to such case.

MICHAEL'S SECRET
Arrested for Not Sending Chill
rem He Was Too Poor TO
Clothe to School.

In the Italian colony that has spread
over the snow-covered Jersey flats in
tn. neighborhood Of North Bergen
there were n few Neapolitan housewives
who shook their heads when the wife
of Michael De Liso passed. They knew
her secret And, because Michael was
too poor TO send his little children to
the American school. as the law had
ordered him, the world. too. Yesterday
learned the secret of the sickly hodcar-
rier and his wife
When dawn first appeared over the
distant hills De Liso rose from his bed
on the kitchen floor 10 answer an IN
sistent knock on the door. man on
the threshold flashed a silver shield.
He commanded De Liso TO dress.
Mrs. Dc Liso, In her broken English,
sobbingly demanded an explanation,
She threw her arms about the neck OF
her husband. while five shivering CHI
dren began to cry. The intruder merely
shrugged his shoulders and suggestive
lv drew forth a pair OF steel cuffs.
"Why amt you sending your Kids TO
SCHOOL, >" he demanded. you've been
warned enough"
Dimly the ragged couple realized that
the handouts had something TO do with
school and the school with their own
little bambini.
"They no have da shoes, no gotta da
clothes" they pleaded. -
"Awl That don't 60 with me,
snapped the officer. This gentll have
to come along"
So De Liso, who was too weak to
resist even If he had will to, kissed
his wife and children.
Mrs. De Liso called 20 the younger
Italian woman who shared the house
with her.
She asked that the children be
dressed and sent to the American
school. She was goirg to see Michael.
And with Michael she talked over
their mutual secret Six months, he
said. he had been told he would have
10 stay in prison unless he paid a fine
OF s25 for not sending his children 10
school.
Mrs De Lso returned TO her home
and children. The little ones were

Soon Angelina and Antoinette, eight

with wonderful tales OF a magic fairy

wrote on the board with chalk.
Don't cry" begged Mrs De Liso's
reighbor. Tell the gentleman why
your husband prefers 10 stay six
months in jail rather than pay S25.'
But Mrs. De Liso Rugged her chill

rciehbor turned TO the interviewer.

she said haltingly.
