Antiquity % The Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet is proper
~ a theatrical exhibition Of the art Of
dancing in Its highest perfection. COM
plying generally with the rules Of the
drama as to Its composition and form.
It was in existence in italy as far back
as A. D. 1900, the court Of Turin in
that day making especial use Of 1t and
the royal family and mobiles taking
part In It. The ballet was first intro
duced In France In the reign Of Louis
XIII, and both that monarch and
Louis XIV. occasionally took part in
it's dances. About the year 100 wom-
en- made their first appearance in the
ballet, which up to that time had been
performed exclusively by men, as was
the case also with plays and operas.
but no woman ballet dancer Of any
note appeared until 1890.

legoinqs Of tho Marines.

The stout leggings worn by members
Of the United States marine corps are
not a purely decorative adjunct to
their very natty uniforms. as popularity
supposed by civilians, but are a pro
lection for the men against tropical
diseases while in foreign service. naval
surgeons say. Many of the most dan
gerous tropical diseases are transmit
ted by the bites Of insects. Among
these are malaria. yellow fever, bu-
bonic plague, hookworm. elephantiasis
and tropical ulcer. Fleas and mosqui-
toes are the prime carriers, and they
make their first attack upon the ankles.
thence working their way owe the
whole body. The leggings worn by the
United States marines afford splendid
protection to the ankles against fleas,
mosquitoes and infected dirt.

All articles exhibited In the wo-
meas building will be judged before
the fair opens. therefore, It will be
neoeeeary for al exhibitors to send
their displays early. Each year
many articles are received too late

also to changes In the premium lists,
especially in the needlework depart

cieties, clubs, ETC., will take the
place OF the city exhibits. Observe
that articles received later than Sept

Hon. viii II. Watson is a strong
believer in the Gulf Beach Highway,
both as a means Of inducing tourists
to come to Pensacola and of giving
the residents Of the city an opportu-
nifty of reaching the shores of the
gulf of Mexico without crossing the
bay. Mr.. Watson says:
81 think It one Of the greatest pro-
jects the citizens of Pensacola have
yet undertaken, and / feel a deep in
terest in the movement. The only
fault I can find is that it has been
postponed entirely too long.
"The facilities we now have for
reaching places of amusement are in
adequate, and / am sure that this
movement, when completed, will af-
ford new means Of recreation and
pleasure to residents and visitors"

CANDIDATESOF
ARE SURE
OF ELECT ton
Campaign for City Commits
sioner Is Brought to a
Close.
LITTLE INTEREST
rs MANIFESTED
Over Two Thousand Quail
fed, But a Light Vote is
the Indication.

The campaign for city commission
er, a very quiet one, came to a close
last night with each of the four can
didates sanguine of success at the
polls today. The campaign has failed
to arouse any enthusiasm and there
is an apparent lack of interest. A
light vote is anticipated as the result.
There are not more than 2,100 quail
fed to vote and estimates place the
total vote of today at 1900 and be-
low.
All polling places are the same as
in former primaries, excepting No.
80, which has been moved from Fish
erville to the corner Of Garden and
B streets, where it is more convenient
to the voters.
For the benefit of a large number
who are, much interested in the out
come Of the primary today, the wealth
er bureau last night stated that the
sun viii set today at 6:14 o'clock,
therefore, the polls will be officially
closed this afternoon at that time.
It is expected that not later than
three hours afterward the entire vote
will have been tabulated and the re-
suit announced.
The city executive committee met
at the city hall yesterday afternoon at
6 o'clock to arrange for the books
precinct boxes, tickets, etc, to be
used In today's primary. It was an
nounced that the polls would be open
ed this morning at o'clock, but there
was a division as to the correct hour
for closing the polls until a request
for such information was made of the
weather bureau man here. 1t will be
announced at all the polls this morn
| ing, therefore, that the day will Of
ficially end at 6:14 o'clock, as the sur
goes down at that hour.

TONS PER MONTH
Flowers Goes to England to
Report to David Lloyd
George on Conditions.

FOR the purpose of making a per-
sonal investigation Of the export IA
cllities at Pensacola with the view az
routing vast shipments Of war nnuni-
tons through here to England, A. p.
Fellows, agent of the British govern
ment, accompanied by E. j. Karr.
connected also with that government
IN this county in the capacity Of traf-
nc manager, spent two DAYS In the
city during the past week, during
which time he visited aIl of the ex-
port wharves owned by the Louis
vile and Nashville and Gulf. Florida
and Alabama railroads, as well as
consulted with the officials of those
two roads. Mr.. Fellows returns tn
England in short time, sailing from
New York within ten DAYS. and viii
report to David Lloyd George upon
his arrival. Early next month II will
be known if the shipments are TO be
routed through Pensacola.
The British government is now
shipping from the United States
through eastern ports about 500 600
tons Of war munitions proper each
month. Contracts with munitions
factories call for increases in their
output of over 100, 900 tons per month.
Freight congestion at all eastern
ports is now such that the present
volume Of shipments meets with great
delay, despite the fact that the Brit
ish government is supplying its own
vessels in which to transport the nnu-
nitions, so it has become compulsory
that the government seek another out
let for the additional 100 900 tons Of
munitions.
Recently the Louisville and Nash
vile has been endeavoring Co secure
a portion of this overflow business,
and has succeeded in having some au-
tomobile trucks and miscellaneous
shipments routed through Pensacola.
No delay was occasioned and another
and larger shipment of this kind is
expected within ten days or two
weeks.
Finding Pensacola offered a solu-
ton Of the problem, Mr.. Fellows was
sent here to see il the facilities were
sufficient TO handle one hundred thou
sand tons Of freight monthly without
delay. The vessels win be supplied
and the rates, it is understood, are as
good or better than can be secured
to other gulf ports. The British agent
would make no statement regarding
his report, but It IS the belief that
his report to Lloyd George will be
favorable.

PETITION ASKS
FOR ELECTION
CHARTER BODY
ON JUNE 9TH
Nearly Seven Hundred Citi-
zens Sign Petition Handed
Commissioners.

Containing the names of SIT quail
fed voters, three communications,
calling for the election of a home rule
charter board were filed with the
board Of city commissioners at the
regular meeting Of yesterday after
noon. The communication was pre-
sented by NJ. E. Morey, and after the
commissioners had looked over the
lists casually, it was decided to refer
the same to the city clerk and the
registration officer to be checked up.
Pending a report from the. two Off
Gals named there will be no order
for the election of the charter board
on June 5, the date of the regular

lection any amendment to the city
charter that might be deemed advisa-
bic. This win insure the fullest meas
ure of home rule, placing the author
ity with the people direct instead as
formerly Of having this power dele
gated to the Florida legislature. Lo-
cal people, in direct touch with the
situation, may, under the rule of the
Farris measure, handle their own
proposition.
The tax collector furnished at Mr..
Morey's request a statement Of the
qualified voters in the city of Pensa-
cola, placing that number at about
1000. Signatures of not more than
400 would have really beer. necessary
