REcOLLEcTloNS
OF OLD KEY WEST
CBy Edwin Mulrennan

ssss sssss4 $50 .
Reading in The Citizen few
days ago that the chief of the Key
West Fire Department was about
to demoIish some of the old diiap-
idated buildings about town,
among them the old house on
the south side of Southland street
midway between Duval and White
head streets, the old home of Fer
nando j. Moreno, where all of his
children were born, excepting
Stephen r., who was born in PEN
sacola. The children were Fer
nando, Cora, Louisa, Maggie and
Mason.
/ remember well when Judge
and Mrs. Douglas, who lived next
to my fathers house, corner of
Greene and Fitzpatrick streets, the
judges office standing opposite
his house, an old dilapidated
building now occupied by Manuel
Pine as a cigar factory, when Mrs.
Douglas and my mother used to go
up to Mrs. Moreno's to spend the
day, always taking along one Of
their girl slaves to crank the old
Howe sewing machine that looked
like a hand organ.
Key Vests present generation
are probably not aware that all of
the streets to the westward of Du-
val are named after pretty Key
West girls. Amelia, after Collect
or G. Howe's daughter; Louisa,
Catherine and Virginia after three
of Capt. John H. Geiger's daugh-
ters; Julia, daughter of Charles
Tiff, sister of Charlie and Willie
Tiff, and niece of Asa F. Tiff,
former owner of the Mallory
docks. "She was a great pal o.
mine"
Mrs. Betty Douglas Lewis and
myself were raised side by side by
slave nurses, played and went to
school together to Masses Sarah
and Carrie Young's school, corner
of Duval and Eaton streets.
Emma street was named after
Emma Hicks, daughter of Captain
Salisbury Hicks, and sister of Ed
win and Salisbury Hicks, their res
idence being near the foot of Car
oline street.
Angela street was named after
Baldwin, whose father,
John Baldwin, was collector of Gus
toms in years gone by.
Olivia street after Olivia Curry,
daughter of BENZ. f. Curry by his
first wife, who was Olivia Fulford,
sister of Hiram FuIford. Petrona
street mot Petfonial after Petro-
ma Papy, one of the prettiest girls
that walked the strets of Key
West (if | do say IT'D and old Key
Westers know who she was related
to.
Caroline street after Colonel
Simonton's wife, one Of the orig
inal four owners of the island.
Greene street after Pardon
Greene, one of the four owners.
Whitehead and Wall streets were
named after Engineer and Sur
veyor Whitehead, and Merchant
Fernando Wall. Whitehead street
was nicknamed Captain street on
account of so many captains living
on it, who were Won Physter,
Bracewell, Jackson, Williams,
Ware, Cary, Moffat, Shehee,
Walker, Johnson, Wells, O'Hara,
Benner, Breaker, Frow, Geiger,
Whalton and Brightman.
They have all gone to the Great
Beyond, and but few of the child
rem are in the land of the living,
another generation having taken
their place.

TRUTH ABOUT
RATE OF FARE
ON RAILWAYS
OFFICIAL EXPOSES FACT IN
REALITY OF FIvE-cENT
CHARGE MADE IN NEW
YORK CITY


NEW YORK, July 29.-The
truth about the Scent fare in
New York City finally is coming
out.
A fearless city official, Comp
troller Charles w. Berry, in a
public statement recently, has ex-
posed the fact that the 5-cent fare
really is about an Scent fare. He
has shown that the city is being
compelled to pay out of its taxes
the difference between the cost
Of the ride and the fare paid. This
amounts to almost Scents on
each ride or approximately $13,-
100000 a year. The deficit has
been hidden by not collecting
taxes from the subways, nor get
ting any return on the money
which the city invested in them.
Berry, in his public statement,
has pointed out that the loss of
sl3, 100000 a year is not the
worst part Of the situation. The
fact that this money is being lost
also has acted in a legal way to
tie up the several hundred million
about to be made available for
building new subways. Berry
points out that unless the situa-
ton is remedied, New York City
not only will face a terrific def
cit which may ruin its credit, but
also win be prevented from ex-
tending its lines. The extensions
are badly needed. Schools, hos
pitfalls and other public institutions
are suffering because of lack of
funds.
As a result of Berry's state
ment. an interesting political sit
nation has arisen. George Olyaney,
leader of Tammany Hall, and
Mayor Walker both have insisted
that under no circumstances will
they stand for an increase in car
fares. They say that Tammany
won last year on Scent fare
platform, and that they are going
70 stand by it regardless Of re-
suits. Berry does not insist on a
higher fare. but he does insist that
the people know the truth and de-
eide what they want to do. Gov
ernor Smith, sponsor for Mayor
Walker and real leader Of the
Democratic party both in the city
and state, has said nothing bat has
been in conference several times
with Berry. There is a distinct
suppression that he is behind Berry
at least in his plan to let the peo-
pie know the truth.
The facts and figures present
ed by Berry in his statements
we're so plain that nobody has
questioned them. Even the most
rabid Scent fare fans, who for
years insisted that nickel was
enough for a ride, and that cleo
trio railway companies were MAX
ing enormous profits" on 1t now
have fallen back in the trenches.
Now they are declaring that the
scent fare should remain even if
II is necessary to pay several adj
ditional cents per passenger out
Of public funds. The old time
utility batter who said that s.
cents would pay for any ride is
gone.

on the other hand, they do not reveal
any symptoms of failure. The pre-

produce sense Of relaxation, intro

duged in. will not be harmful. as the
vibrations are good. and they may
induce resolution and firmness, where
only irreSolution and weakness have
formerly existed.
Children born tomorrow are destined,
according to the signs, to enjoy fairly
normal health during infancy, but
will, in all probability. experience a
serious physical setback in their
teens" With proper attention, and,
largely as the result of their inherently
strong constitutions, they will over

have contented minds and freedom
from worry.
