APPARITION Of THE VIRGIN
A Child Who Saw 1t Telling Her Priest
The Spectacle Seen In France In 1924

Troy, March 6.-The Rev. Peter Haver-
mans is the pastor of ST. Mary's church, which
is the richest Roman Catholic conere-
CATION in this city. He was ordained in the
priesthood over half century ago. A CORES
pondent of the Sun called upon the aged cler-
gyman this evening to obtain his opinion of
the alleged apparilion of the Virgin Mary at
the Jones domicile in this city. Father Hav-
ermans said that yesterday afternoon Annie
Maloney, aged fourteen years, who lives in the
ones house, called on him and asked what
she ought to do when people told her not to
tell the truth.
'Do not heed them, my child" replied
the priest, ''but tell the truth at all times
THAT is what | thought" answered the
child, ''and | will tell you what saw. | know.
Father, that saw the Blessed Virgin at the
house where l live, in the rear of 200 FIRST

began to tell about it outside, and l was told
that | must not do so.'
Father HavermanS did not wish to give an
opinion of the alleged apparition of the Virgin
at Mr.. Jones house, but said it was possible
that what the Maloney girl had said was true.
She was very good girl. Then again it
might he dtlusion, he said. 1t was not in

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENTS.

The extension Of tbs International and Grea
Northern railroad has made Laredo a promi-
nent point, and il the company builds the
many shops spoken of, it will become large
place. This is the only thing which will in
any way assure her future prosperity. 1t all
remains with the railroad company, and the
people anxiously hope for the best.
The 9th day of March, 1882, will long be
remembered by the citizens, both of New and
Old Laredo. Never in the history of either
town was such grand celebration Witnessed,
and never did one come to a more successful
and pleasant ending. The cause for all this
Joy was the crossing of the first broad-gauge
train from the United States into Mexico. 1t
was, indeed a memorable event and we'll
worthy the recognition it received. For some
days the people had been preparing to cele-
brate the day, and when they learned that
Gen. w. T. Sherman had promised to be
present, the interest became still more intense
The general. accompanied by Gen. Poe, Col
Morrow, Misses Sherman, Teal, Hughtt and
others, arrived in Laredo in the morning, all
anxious to board the first train which passed
over the Rio Grande bridge. Superintendent
Heron, who had been on the ground several
days giving the track-laying and the testing
Of the new bridge his personal supervision,
announced to the distinguished party that at !
o'clockshe track would be complete to the
Mexican shore. At the time set the engine

A Bad Thing to Have.

Texas sIftings.
Mrs. Col. Percy Yerger, a fashion
able Austin lady, is afflicted with
partial deafness, and just now she is
also struggling with the prevailing
tnfiuenza, so called, because the suf-
ferer cannot prevail upon it to leave.
Mrs. Col Percy Yerger also wrestles
with an infant about six months old.
There was a social gathering at the
YerQer mansion not long ago, on,
which occasion Col. Highfiyer asked
how the baby was coming on. The
partially deaf lady must have had the
baby running i'm her head, as well as
the cold, and got them mixed up, for
when Col. Highdyer, who is q modest
old bachelor, asked her how thecherub
was coming on, she replied with ami

The following is one Of the most
brilliant paragraphs ever written by
the Iamented George d. Prentice !:
The fat of death is inexorable. No
appeal for relief from that great law
that dooms US to death. We flourish
and fade as the leaves of the forest, and
the flowers that bloom, wither and
fade 10 day, having no Trailer hold
upon life than the mightiest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his
footsteps.
Generations of men will appear and
disappear as the grass, and the multi
tude that throngs the world to-day
will disappear like footsteps on the
shore. Men seldom think OF the great
event of death, until the shadow falls
across their pathways hiding from
their eyes the faces 0floyed ones, whose
loving smile was the sunlight of their
existance. Death Is the antagonist Of
life, and the thought or the tomb is the
skeleton of all feasts. Veto not want
although its dark passage may lead to
Paradise we do not want TO go down
into the damp graves even with Prin-
ces for bedfellows. In the beautiful

The following from the Natchez

We clip the following deserved
compliment to Senator George from
the Panola Star:
Realizing that the welfare OF his
State and the interest OF good gov
ernment are at stake, this disting-
uished gentleman is on the stump
throwing the weight OF his great,
ability and influence into the con-
test for Congressman in this State,
In the life and achievements OF James
u. George we find naught but what
commands our esteem, confidence and
admiration. He is of the people and
for the people and Mississippi proudly
points to him as her great commoner.
IL he had done nothing else, he viii
long be honOred and ~reInem bored
with the greatest gratitude for his
admirable Leadership and con-
spicous services in the grand
struggle of 1875-Which Wrested
our State from the ruthless grasp and
the ruinOus sway of aliens, traitors
and adventures. His fitting reward
was seat on the Supreme Bench and
atorship. Although his career In the
Senate has been brief, he has taken
high rank, commanding the closest
attention when he speaks as well as
the respect of even hiB political Op<
ponents. Senator George, is true to
his insticts and past history, is re-
garded as the staunch friend of.the
people and the unyielding foe OF mon

is scarcely past the meridian of life,
and though his past has been bright
and great, his future promises to abe
brighter and greater. He is in sthe
midst of his iabors land usefuInes and
his lucky star is in the ascend
ant. IF they would rise to distinction
and eminence, we know no better ex-
ample for the youth of our State to fOls
low than Senator George, who is at
once the model of modest worth,

The first Introduction of the trains
of the Natchez, Jackson & Columbus
railroad into Jackson. on the 18th of
September, was most appropriately
planned. It is we'll known that con-
siderable curiosity existed in the pub
lie mind in regard to the. working Of
the narrow-gauge system, and large
crowd was assembled at the terminus
to witness the advent Of the narrow
locomotive which the company re-
csived, named in honor of the awak-
ening of this hitherto sleepy city
Grip Van Winkle,u drawing two or
three flat cars fitted with improved
benches, on which were some seventy
five passengers, was the advance
guard of the NatcheZ excursion upon
the State capitol. The delapidated
little locomotive, with its primitive
arrangement for passenger travel,
was first presented to the Jackson
public, and it is needless to say did
not impress them favorably in regard
to nRrrow-gauge roads.
But little time elapsed however be-
fore locomotive No. 2 with it's excel
lent passenger accommodations equal
to those of any STANDARD gauge road,
with its mass of living freight, follow
ed shortly by the No. 8, pushed to
the utmost capacity of its inprovlsed
passenger arrangements, gave to the
assembled multitudes a very different
appreciation of the capabilities Of the
narrow gauge railroad, and particu-
larly of that of the road built and
owned by the counties of Adams and
Kinds. The contrast between the Iit-
tie construction engine and the pow
erful locomotive and elegant coaches
now used by the road was feature Of
curiosity to every beholder.
To-day the first through freight
train will 60 to Jackson under the
direction of that competent and ex-
perienced conductor, Mr.. z. O. Jen-
nings, and will consist entirely of
Natchez products. Nothing that has
been produced in any other section OF

think upon the cars of the train to-
day. It Is certainly not derogatory
TO our city, that we will require 4

The New Orleans Plcayune recent
ly contained some very severe and
unfounded structures upon the action
of the Mississippi State Board O1
Health in placing two of the Inspec-
ton Stations on railroads and the riv-
er leading to New Orleans, for the
purpose of preventing any persons OF
goods infected with yellow fever from
entering the State of Mississippi.
This paper claimed that there was no
yellow fever in n. O.; that these Sta
tions amounted to an embargo on COM
naerce, and that they were an insult
to the health authorities of LouisiRn-
ma. In reply, we will state, that
there was yellow fever In M. @. when
these Stations were established,
about four weeks ago. One case was
reported there and three others origi-
mated in the city soon afterwards.
These facts, when considered in con-
nection with the well-known liability
of New Orleans to yellow fever, dur
ing the summer months; and that
the dreaded disease already existed in
MatamOras, Brownsville, Pensacola,
places, were we'll calculated to excite
alarm. New Orleans is the principal
entrepot from these places to the Mis-
sissippi Valley States; and infected
goods, if not persons with the lock
system of inspection existing, these
could easily pass through that port
and enter the State of Mississippi.
The Board of Health of this State
after carefully considering all oG these
dangers, and appreciating the grave
responsibilities that have been placed
upon it by the Legislature Of Miss,
very wisely decided to establish a
.@E
N. o., one that was by-no-means an
obstruction to commerce, and hardly
an Inconvenience TO travellers, and
which could be made very rigid at
any time, or entirely Withdrawn, as
circumstances might demand.
As our Board Of Health had been
entrusted with the serious duty of
keeping yellow fever out Of the State,
it properly determined to act on the
safe side; for it was better to be too
early than too late, i'm matter ofsuch
vital importance TO the people Of the
State. AS evidence Of the mildness
of these Quarantine stations, they
had been in operation % days before
the papers Of New Orleans discovered
that they existed. The Picayune, in
it's rage, has the audacity to intimate
that the appropriation at the disposal
of the Board of Health was the main
spring of its action. But such un-
generous filings have had no weight
with the good people of our State,
who have confidence in their Health
Authorities, and regard the expendI-
ture OF q few hundred dollars as moth
ing compared with the Importance of
keeping yellow fever from our ber-
ders.
Mississippi has suffered too much
from this awful scourge to take any
risks Of its invasion, on the score Of
severe economy. We commend the |
Board of Health for its prompt action
and trust that 1t viii ever be on the |
alert to protect our people from epi- !
denies. Macon Beacon.
