A negro planter came to Vicksburg the
other day, sold his cotton, put his money
in his pocket-book, and started down the
river. Leaning too far over the guards
as the boat backed out, he fell overheard.
His poitmonnaie, which was in his side
pocket, fioated out and rode with his hat
on the surface of the water, while the
current carried the negro away. The
yawl was lowered, and assistance at once
started toward the drowning man, who,
perceived his treasure floating off raised
his voice and shouted:
"Save dat pocket-book?"
His head went under and he disappear

"Dar's one hundred and eighty dollars
in dat pocket-book!'
Scarcely had he uttered the words be-
fore he sank the second time.
The yawl came within reach just in
time to rescue the drowning African as
he came up to the surface for the last
time. As soon as the water was wiped
from his nose and mouth so that he could
see and speak, he asked:
"Did-did you save dat pocket-book?'

PREVIOUS CLOSE CONTESTS.

Tha electoral votes for President will
be closer this year than it has been for
many years. In 1897 John Adams re-
ceived II votes in the electoral college
and Thomas Jefferson 6S. In 1901 JET
ferson received 70 and Burr 73, and the
election was decided by the House. Since
then there has been no close count in the
electoral college, though there have been
several occasions when, there being more
than two candidates, no one had clear
majority OF the electoral vote, and the
election was completed by the House OF
Representatives, as the constitution in
ruch cases provides. 1t is time to abolish
the electoral college and allow the people
to vote directly for President.-N. Y.

PRESERVATION AFTER DEATH.
English Exchange.

English Exchange.
Cremation is to be suspended, and in
stead of destroying a corpse by fire, as
the ancients did, or making gas of the
same, as had been suggested, an inventor
of Grenoble, France, proposes the oppo-
site method, and preserves them forever.
At the decease of an individual the body
is plunged into liquid invented by him,
and in five years the individual is turned
into stone. The secret of the petrifica-
tion is known only to the discoverer.-
But he goes further. He says that in a
thousand years, if persons will only pre-
serve their relatives and friends, ''they
will be able to build a house with them,
and thus live in houses surrounded by
their ancestors Another application OF
this process has been suggested, namely
to have the petritied corpse nickel-plated,
or electro-plated with bronze, and if a
statue of an individual is desired, to place
the corpse on proper pedestal, so as to
fulfill the functions of being the statue OF
the party deceased.

time being destroyed his hopes of govern

can be ascertaned are as follows:
About half past ten O'clock Thursday night
officer Tetard observed suspicious looking
individual enter Grfith's Saloon anG on fol-
lowing him the officer noticed chlsel stick
ing out of one OF his coat pockets. After
eauntered around to Lyman's corner and
linking himself uLobserved quietly ran
down the area steps near the post Office and
breaking pane of glass with his foot ran up
again and walked leisurely away, supposing
no person had seen him, but that was
where he made his great mistake for officer
Tetard had been shsGowiHg him all the time
and was only waiting for him to put bis head
in the moose when he would pull the rope.
In short time Mr.. Burglar came back and
| the steps and proceeded to remove his two
over coats and shove them through the
broken window he then pat his tools in and
prepared 10 follow suit, but at this june
ture, tie officer thinking the man had suf1-
GENTLY implicated himself, drew lis revol-
yer and commanded the robber to come up
under pain of death, summons he was moi
slow in obey ing; several other officers having
come az by this lime the prisoner was march
ed off to the cooler, and his kit confiscated.
On examining the captured articles there
were found a saw, several chisels, fat
piece of candle and several other things
known to the burglars ait.
| On the examination he gave his name as
George Brown, and claims to hail from
Hamilton, Ont. He was tried and sentenced
Saturday as will be seen by reference to the
report of the court proceedings published
elsewhere in this issue.
On Sunday evening unknown parties en-
tered the wood Office of Mr.. Chas. Jacobs, on
the KimSall dock and succeeded in obtain
ing Mr.. Jacobs pocket book containing ssme

time of the robbery and as yet has been m
able to obtain any clue that will lead to the

This Is the third burglary that has occurred
in our city during the past two weeks, and
we would caution all to be on their guaid
and if possible bring few of these outlaws
to justice.
