Press Comment
Pensacola Clean Again.

Pensacola Clean Again.
Owing to the prompt action and the
thorough work Of city, state and Fed
era1 authorities working n close CO.
operation and accord for Pensacola,
that city Is free from its sporadic
plague danger.
Charles H. Allen, publisher of the
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, spent
day in Pensacola looking into the
situation carefully, because many Ala
bamians pass through that city en-
route to and from Perdido and other
Florida beaches. In a late issue of
the Advertiser, Mr.. Allen says:
THE highest medical authorities,
Federal and state, have given as
surance that there is no cause for anx-
Lety and that every precaution has
been taken by She municipal and
health forces to prevent any renewal
of the outbreak. The people of Pen
sacola have made up their minds that
there is no cause for alarm and but
for the questions of a few outsiders
reading press reports on the situation,
the outbreak would be forgotten
subject.
Or. F. G. Renshaw, one of the old
est and leading physicians of Pensa-
cola stated that the city is today in ex-
cellent condition from a sanitary
standpoint, and that the health of the
people is as good as in any city of the
United States. He commended the
work of the health authorities and the
city administration, both of which
services have spared no expense to put
Pensacola in the best sanitary condi-
ton possible"
Tampa has never doubted that Pen
sacola was able to cope successfully
with the situation; it has felt no
alarm whatever over danger from that
section coming to us. There is no finer
city for health and general goodness
in the South than Pensacola. 1t is
noted for its cleanliness and it's civic
pride of appearance. The introduce
ton of the plague germ from some
Central American port has made the
city even more particular about it's
back door cleanliness than ever, and
to offset the moment of anxiety
when Its appearance was first her
aided to the citizens, the cleaning up
the port and city has received is
worth many times the labor and cost
of making all sanitary.
Every South Atlantic port has been
the gamer in cleanliness and watch
fulness by the appearance of the
plague in Pensacola. Everywhere
there has been a clean up movement,
and everywhere the city has emerged
healthful and immaculate. The results
in Tampa have been the same as these
attained elsewhere. We have made
little fuss about it, and we have made
no display of our energies; but we
have made rats hard to catch, by the
stealthy warfare waged on them; and
many a spot where filth and dirt had
become the chronic dweller has had
the sunlight turned into it's cleaning

DEATH
RECALLS FAMOUS
MURDER OF 1901
DiSmembered Body Of Illegal
Wife of Man, Discovered in
Woods by Boys, Leads to
Arrest and Sentence.

BOSTON, March 1.-THE death of
Joseph Winfred Blondin in the state
prison recently recalls the story of the
murder of his Illegal wife.
Throughout the term of his imprison-
ment of II years, Blondin is said to
have protested his Innocence of the
crime for which he was adjudged guilty
on Dec. 81 1902. AT the time of his
death Judge Charles S. Sullivan, of the
Charlestown district court who was his
legal adviser, was preparing a petition
asking for his pardon.
During his confinement in the state
prison, he had been industrious and
thrifty. He accumulated about $4,000
from the sale of canes he made in his
leisure moments. This money he in
vested in Liberty bonds and war saw
ings stamps. Much of his earnings he
contributed to the Red Cross for its
patriotic work during the war During
the epidemic OF influenza last fall he
worked jealousy with Mr.. McLaugh-
lin in nursing sick prisoners.
Blondin was found guilty of having
murdered his wife, Margaret f. Blon.
