ARRIVES IN BROOKLYN
Pensacola Vessel Left Porto Rican
Port August 10.

The f. f. Bingham schooner, Dough-
boy, has arrived at Brooklyn with a
cargo of cocoanuts. The Doughboy left
Pensacola with lumber late in April
and after running into several heavy
storms which forced her to lay in
Key West to repair engine and other
damage, arrived at Areeibo, p. r., aft
er four and half months.
After discharging her cargo of lum-
Der and taking on a small cargo of
cocoanuts, the Doughboy sailed on
August Is for Brooklyn. Some worry
had been occasioned because the
schooner had not been spoken and it
was feared that she might have been
caught in adverse winds and been held
in the path of the storm which re-

1a-EnssEe and GsaiHesxiIle, returned To
the city yesterdEy frun attendanre
u-Gm n m.eting of the board at Tai
1a.hassee.
Prof. Diamond says the board held
a very Important session. He says
that there were EB applicants frr ad-
mission TO the Wmnan-s College, at
I.aIiahassee for whom no drnmituy ne
cnrnodation was available, the large
attendance this year having filled uP
every available TonIn- Rather than thai
these Is aspiring pupils should be de-
y,rired of educational facilities the
board instructed that suitahle quarters
be rented for their accommodation
Under these conditions said Prof
Diamond -sThe board was almost COM
PEELED to discontinue accepting pupils
from other states, as has long been
the practice AT the male college at
Gainesville, the same crowded condi-
ton exists. every available room be-
ing, occupied. 1t appears the state
must make provisions towards secur-
irg more facilities Indeed the board
at this session deemed it advisable
to have plans prepared for as early
construction as available funds viii
Permit, of other dormitories-"
Prof. Diamond thinks from the en-
,, thusiasm being manifested all over the
state for higher educational advance
ment, the next legislature will be fore
ed in the performance of it's full duty
to make increased appropriations te
meet these new demands.
