of George and Walthall for reelection
to the United States Senate, anu under
its new management these honored
names will still stand at its mast

in which its policy will remain I'M
changed and its enthusiasm undimin-
ished,-Jackson Mississippian.
We don't car anything about your
"frst" business, but we defy you to
get up any enthusiasm for George and
Walthall. If you do, you should go
to the r~ace-course and shout yourself
hoarse and fling your cap in the air,
whenever a horse is given a walk-over.
If somebody will only tackle George
and Walthall. so as to give us a reas-
enable excuse to come out strong for
them, we would be greatly obliged.

Some of the most splendid works of
ancient Rome were its public baths. Their
remains are to-day the wonder of all who
visit the imperial city. 1t is evident that
the Romans under the emperors were a
more clearly people than the ordinary
dweller in our modern large cities. 1t Is
noticeable that in all capitals of the world
today there is q disposition to initiate the
\ Snans. Public baths are recognized as
Being as essential as common schools.
Public health can be preserved in no bet
ter way than in providing means for
keeping the mass Of the population clean.
We are ~rediscovering also a fact we'll
known to the Romans, that hot air and
vapor baths have q therapeutic value.
They cure diseases of various kinds.
The public baths of Vienna almost vie
with some of the Roman baths, and are
the finest in the world. The building is
situated in the heart of the city, is $40
feet in length and 176 in width. and has
accommodations for 1900 persons at one
time. There arc also accommodations
for women. In New York and other Of
our large cities free baths in summer were
first looked upon as an experiment, but
are now regarded as a necessity, and
their popularity yearly increases Other
large capitals, such as London and Paris,
are hindered in providing bathing facili-
ties, because of the difficulty Of procuring
sufficient water; but from the tendencies
of the age, it is very clear that before the
twentieth century has far advanced, the
public baths Of the modern world will vie
with those Of ancient Rome, not only in
general utility but in splendor.

special to Commercial H'rald.
Aberdeen, Oct. 23.-The South.
rons have just come off the field,
1890 pm, and have undoubtedly done
the best drilling here and better than
any made by them heretofore. They
will bring the money home.
ABERDEEN, Oct. 23-The COM
panies are drawn up on the street
awaiting for the decision. The Judges
announced thatit Wouldb be delivered at
4:30 o'clock. It is believed the Volun-
teer Southrons will be first and Vicks-
burg Rifles third. The Southrons
made a good drill, but not as good as
their practice drills. Capt. Searles
seemed to be a little ratified. He
brought the, company to inspection at
carry, and made one or two other
errors on the start, but at the last he re-
deemed himself nobly.
The Meridian Rifles put up a dan
gercus drill, and are hopeful OF frst,
but will take second, If they can get it.
The Columbus Ridemen showed no
improvement over their Greenville
drill and will probably not get a place.
Serg't. A. G. Tillman, Of the Vicks-
burg Rifles, won the medal for the best
drilled soldier. There were fully
seventy-dve men In the contest which
finally narrowed down to Tillman Of
the Rifles, and Broughton Of the
Southrons, and amid the widest ex-
citement they stood as firm as a rock
for about ten minutes, and then
Broughtou fell out on trail arms. The
Rifles are wild over their Winner.
Miss Mary Lou Green, the Rifles
sponsor, presented the medal for the
best inspection in the Rifles, to Private
ed. Shaw On the grounds. She looked
beautiful, and made a very graceful
speech. Mr.. Shaw's modesty covered
him as a gallant, but he took
his medal becomingly. Miss
Green also presented Sergt. Tillman's
medal to him. and said she should
claim him as her friend for life.
The West Point Rifles feel very sore
over having been barred out Of the
drill. They have been doing a good
deal Of rash talking and marching
through the streets with blue ribbons
tied to their guns. They are now
drawn up in front Of the hotel, where
the crowd is awaiting the decision,
and have a broom at their heed with
the legend champions, a clean sweep"
They have just been giving groans for
the visiting companies and say
that we are afraid to meet
Them. Every one is disguised at
their conduct. They have lost what
little sympathy they had at first. The
judges have just announced that the
decision will not be rendered until s
o'clock.
The boys leave at $50 pm, and
will arrive at 9 am. tomorrow in
Vicksburg.
ABERDEEN, MISS, Oct. 23-In the
individual contest, six companies COM
peting, A. G. Tillman, of the Vicks-
burg Rifles, took the prize.
LATER = The following decisions
were announced by the judges: Vol
unteer Southrons, first; Meridian Rifles,
second; Vicksburg Rifles, third, and

"ys there much of a trade in animal
Orwtments?" was asked Of q dealer In that
SOIL Of goods
well, yes, though at present there is
mol much doing, because the people who
buy these things are out of the city.
just before the opening of the summer
res rts our trade had a wonderful boom,
and it would have surprised one who had
not been initiated to see the valuable
ornaments that were ordered for pets.
The trade, however, has not been as
this year as it was last, probably because
the line of iewelrv worn by each animal
was full. This business began six or
seven years ago, and jumped into full
swing when, at one Of the annual dog
shows, a pug was exhibited with a beau.
tiful pair of bracelets upon its forelegs.
The ladies were overcome by the cravings
of envy and fastened to adorn their pugs
in the same way. Some even went so far
as to have the ears of their dogs pierced
and dainty little ear drops suspended
therefrom.
"A philanthropic spirit started the story
thai this practice interfered with the dogG
hearing and was a mild method of torture,
and it has now fallen into disuse. How.
ever much the owners may admire the
appearance of their bespangled pets, |
have yet to find the dog that feels elated
when jewelry is put on him. Dogs
usually try to tear these things off with
their paws or gnaw them off. These orna-
ments are not confined to bracelets, but
include collars-plain, jeweled, or with
artistically engraved monograms-expen-
sive blankets, and embroidered wraps.
They are ordered for dogs Of every size
and species, but more frequently for dogs
that might be termed pets.
"The prices paid are various, but are
always high, because nearly every order
provides for o special design, and the pat
terms and settings, if jewels are used. have
to be specially prepared. | know of one
lady who owned a fine pug and terrier.
She had a fancy that they would look
well in double harness, and ordered a set
to be made after a pattern that she had
drawn on paper. 1t was an elaborate
affair studded with gems, and a model of
beauty when completed. She counted
out $3.50 for it without a murmur.

Il don't know whether | dare speak of
rats here in Chicago or not, " said a man
from York, Neb., at the Grand Pacific.
n day last week, "but l was going to
tell you a peculiar thing. Out in our
country'a certain industry has been en-.
tirely ruined by rats. Before we got a

"Of course they put in doors and win
dows just as they would if the walls were
made of brick or stone When the walls
are high enough they put some timbers
across, pile on some brush, and lay a roof
of more turf. These roofs turn water
nicely for q year or two. After awhils
they dry out and are then not so good. In
this way settlers could put up a house al
an expense of $40, and do it in a couple
OF days If they couldn't afford a board
floor they would dig down below the soil,
and the hard, dry sub.soil made as pretty
q floor as a man would want, sweeping
clean and keeping quite smooth. Of
course ou people have nice frame houses
now. and have had for years, but cd out
buildings, stables and wagon sheds were
in use until the railroad came through,
and then it was good. bye sod houses. The
railroad brought in the rats and the rats
would cut a sod house so full of holes in
a week that there was danger of its falling
down. The rats have driven sod houses
out Of the country. "
