Mr. Harry English received a telegram this morning that the sporting good concern in Chicago, with which he is connected, hadv been destroyed by fire. It may be| possible that the disaster will re- quire Mr. English’s presence in Chi- cago and he may have to, return earlier than he had anticipated; however, it is hoped that this will not be necessary. The old Barker residence, corner of North Florida avenue and Mag- nolia street, which has been unoccu= pied for some time, caught fire about | four o’clock this morning, and ll-i though the department responded immediately, the fire had gained considerable headway and the roof had burned oft before the fire was extinguished. The building is old and delapidated and it will now | probably be torn down. It is thought that the fire was of incen- diary origin.

For years the honest sailor walked the plank And dropped in billows for the Tavenous shark; For years remorselessly you burned and sank The merchantman and crew with-. out a spark Of mercy or remorse. Your record on the seas has always stood For all that’s damnable and con- scienceless., For all the deeds done vilely in cold blood That mark hyenas and that, more or less, ‘Must raise the human gorse. The children shudder as they hear the taleg Of seaports raided and of towns despoiled, Of widows’ tears and starving or. phans’ wails, When Gasparilla’s men with con- science soiled And hearts as black as ink Rushed in, with blood .red slaugh- ter and rapine burning and despoiling peaceful homes, And, drunken with the lust of gold and wine, Bestial as satyrs gnomes Besotted, with drink, And or {ll.omened the blood and Lived out their lives of infamy and guilt, And now the pride drink With music and the dance’s charm- ing lilt; And Tampa gives the theme welcome home To celebrate his name. of Florida ‘AAll hail, then, ‘Gasparilla Day,” we shout!
