HOLDS SHRAPNEL
As WAR SOUVENIR
WAS BROUGHT HERE ON A
NORWEGIAN BARK AND IS ON
DISPLAY AT RAY HARDWARE
COMPANY.

An object Of unusual interest,
which has caused much comment
among those who have seen It, is the
fragment of a shrapnel fired at the
battle at Ypres which IL on display
at the Ray Hardware company.
The shell was presented TO w. L
Carbine Of that company, by Cap
tain Jackson, Of Norwegian bark,
who received It from Belgian refu-
gee, off the coast Of Holland, where
the vessel touched on its last trip.
The fragment weighs 80 pounds,
and is badly split and SCARED. It
Is half of the plug end Of a twelve
inch shell, which when whole, meas
ured IS inches in length.
It is made Of cast steel and when
whole was Of slightly conical shape,
gradually tapering towards the IN
ner part of the shell. It is threaded
on both its inner and outer edges.
Some idea of its size can be gained
from the fact that there ara only
four threads to the inch on the outer
side and eight on the inner. The ter
rifle force attending its discharge IL
shown by the large cracks in it, OPP
ening from the core and extending
to the outer flange, which as been
almost entirely torn away.
From the marks on the end and
the factory mark on the inside, it
is either Of English or American
manufacture and was fired by Eng
ish or Belgian. The fact that it ia
broken IN halves renders It impossible
to guess the context Of the hyero-
glyphs on It, but those letters which
remain on various part Of IL, without
any general formation read: Y-714s,
L. B. S. E. II. z. R.--4s.
The chief interest centers, how
ever, not in the shell itself, but the
fact that it is the first souvenir OF
the war shown In Pensacola.

PAIN IN BACK, MISERABLE ALL OVER

Note Every man or woman ought
to use occasionally, a proper remedy
for the headache, backache, languor,
nervousness and depression TO which
he or she may be subject. When the
kidneys are weak or diseased, these
natural filters do not cleanse the
blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all PARIS of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chillness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are
sharp pains in the back and loi1s,
distressing bladder disorders and
sometimes forms into gravel or kid
ney stones. When the uric acid
affects the muscles and joints, it
causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout or
sciatica. This is the time to try
"Anuric," the new discovery Of DR..
Pierce for kidney trouble and pains
in back and all over bodyl Write DR..
Pierce, send Zoe for a large trial
package, or ask your druggist now
for a eo-cent box of "Anul-ic. ADV

SHIP OF MEXICAN
NAVY ARRIVES WITH
CARGO HARDW00DS
STEAMER PLAN DE GUADA-
LOUPE, FORMERLY A NAL
LORY LINER, AND OWNED By
CARRANZAIsTs, COMES HERE.

A steamer Of the Mexican navy,
the Plan de Guadalupe, 1,071 tons
displacement, arrived here yesterday,
coming, In charge Of a merchant crew,
from Belize. Upon the occasion OF
the present voyage, the steamer has
part cargo for Pensacola, consisting
of 4S9 mahogany logs, AZ cedar logs
and six bales of chicle. The latter is
dutiable, and will be unloaded today,
the duty having been settled yester-
day at the Pensacola custom house.
The steamer is moored at the east
side of Central wharf, and late yes
terday afternoon started to discharge
her part cargo Of squared mahogany
logs. Most Of the mahogany goes to
Chicago, It was stated, the steamer
coming to the order of the Pensacola
Shipping company.
Captain Vasto, navigator who
cannot speak English with any de-
gree of fluency, is In command. His
crew, outside the seven to nine Off
GERS, consists of about 72 men.
A naval officer, with the rank Of
major, and attired in the full uni
form of ouch rank, is on board as g
representative of the Carranza gov.
eminent. He is unable to make him
self understood in the English Ian
guage, and was visibly relieved yes
terday when ]. Garriga showed VI
on the wharf. Then the major, whC
is down on the ships articles as shiI
physician, entered into quite a dis
cussion, mainly inquiring whether Of
not it would be possible to get Mex
lean money exchanged for the gooC
money of the United States. 1t il
understood that some arrangement u
this effect viii be made today through
the efforts of Mr.. Garriga.
The steamer carries no guns, al
though she is recognized as q Mex
lean gunboat.

REVIVAL SERVICE
ON WEST HILL
REV. HERBERT RICE WILL CON.
DUCT THE SERIES OF MEET
NGs, BEGINNING SUNDAY.

Next Sunday, April 80, at II a. M,
a series of services will begin at the
West Hin Methodist church, corner
F and LaRua streets, and continue
through the week.
Monday evening, the Rev. Herbert
w. Rice, pastor Of the Gadsden
Street Methodist church, viii preach
and remain with the church through
the week.
This young man, we may say, is
in line of apostolic succession, son
of an honorable member of the Ala
bama conference, born and raised in a
parsonage, educated at the Southern
University and at Vanderbilt, he prac-
tees and breaches the viriis type Of
Christianity.
Since joining the Alabama confer
ence, about eight years ago, Mr.. Rice
has been assigned to some very i'm
portant charges, Montgomery, Union
Springs and Gadsden being among
the number.
During the Lenten season campaign
last year In Montgomery, he and his
team Of workers surpassed all other
Methodist churches Of the city, vim
ming eighty odd new recruits. He
has Just closed a most successful
campaign at Gadsden street. The
church appeals to the citizenihir
of West Hill, regardless Of denani-
national utilization, to lay aside 'ou-
tine duties for one hour at least, each
night Of next week and hear his
forceful, earnest speaker.
/ Members of other churches are or
daily invited.
