Social Sensation.

The following dispatch under full
headlines was published last Sunday
in the Chicago Times:
JACKSON, Miss, May 4.-Society
in Jackson was delightfully."- agitated
this morning when it became known
that Miss Mamie Thompson, the
beautiful and popular society leader,
and the daughter of the Rev. Hugh
Miller Thompson, Episcopal bishop
of this State, had last evening eloped
with W. T. Howe, of Chicago, and
that the runaway couple were then
speeding their way by the lightning
express on the Illinois Central rail-
road toward Chicago. Miss Thomp-
son was we'll known and extremely
popular here. Last summer she Wis
tied the northern lakes and met Mr..
Howe, and it is said to have been a
case of love at first sight. Very lit
tie of the details of this romantic
event is known. Mr.. Howe came
here three days ago and was visitor
at the bishops residence. There
was not a ripple of preparation on
the day before the elopement. Mr.,
Howe took a gentleman of this city
into his confidence and told him of
his proposed adventure and secured
his assistance.
At the last minute there was al
most a hitch in the affair. It had
been planned that the young lady
was to drive to the depot when she
went out driving, as was her custom
in the afternoon. This she was una
bic to do, as her mother was using
their carriage. After waiting till
almost train time at her home the
anxious young woman telephoned
the mutual friend, who told her to
walk to the depot, as she had plenty
of time.
Walk she did and arrived lust as
the train was about to leave. Her
lover was on hand with the tickets,
and in a minute they were away to
the north. They sent note back
apprising the bishop of what he had
to expect. 1t was their intention to
stop and have the marriage celebrat-
ed at Canton, IS miles north of here,
but their plans failed in some way,
and telegram from Cairo was re-
ceived announcing their marriage at
that place to day at 1890.

better showing of early literary en-

COY.
Fifty three sheep were entered fol
shearing, but the short time set apart
for shearing, and the few shearers pres.
ent, permitted but part of them bsing
shorn.
Messrs. Chas. Dowell, Percy Dibble,
James Fleming, Spencer Gull, F. G.
Hartnell, R. E. Hartnell and W. V.
Gull, Jr., volunteered as shearers and
performed their work in an artistic
manner.
Mr.. A. B. Hammond, of Michigan,
an expert in handling sheep, being on
the ground, kindly consented to act as
one Of the judges.

lings, which were of interest as showing
the marked change made in the charac-
teristics of the sheep by such cross.
One of them tipped the scales at 14S
pounds.
Quite humber of ladies graced the
occasion by their presence.
To Messrs. Eli Bloss and w. V. Gull
is mainly due the credit Of making the
festival a success, as they labored un-
tiringly to that end. Mr.. Gull had no
sheep on exhibition, but it is remarked
incidentally that his flock Of 800
Merinos sheared an average Of little
over eight pounds of washed wool per
head last year, which was sold at the
market price without any deduction.
This is very good for Gull flock.
Notwithstanding the large attendance,
the ladies proved fully equal to tho re-
quiremsnts of the occasion. as they
provided all present with a good dinner,
and had enough aud to spare.

A Pretty Action.

A newsboy took the Sixth avenue ele-

and sliding into one of the cross seats fell
asleep. At Grand street two young wo-
men got on and took the seats opposite
the lad. His feet were bare and his hat
had fallen off. Presently the younger
girl leaned over and placed her muff
under the little fellows dirty cheek An
old gentleman in the next seat smiled at
the act and without saying anything held
out a quarter, with a nod toward the
boy. The girl hesitated a moment and
then reached for it. The next man jus,

fore she knew it the girl, with flaming
checks, had taken money from every
passenger in that end Of the car. She
quietly slid the amount into the sleeping
lads pocket, removed her muff gently
from under his head without rousing
him and got off at Twenty-third street,
including all tho passengers in pretty

full of thanks and the possession of q

Ono result Of the labors of physiolo-
gists has been tho clearing OF the mental
vision, and tho gradual comprehension
of the great, pervasive and potential fact
Of "heredity." "The sins OF the fathers
shall be visited upon tho children" said
Moses more than 5000 years ago. Proba-
bly, he comprehended in but a very small
measure tho significance of his own
uttcrancc. Not only do parents transmit
to children their mental peculiarities,
their moral tendencies, tho features Of
the face, the stoop Of tho shoulders and
the trick Of the gait, but they pass on to
them their blood, their brain, their
glands, their very soul and life. We do
not mean 10 say that hercdity is tyrant
from which there Is no escape, and that
as Is the parent In constitution and con-
duct, 30 also must be the children to the
remotest generation.
If that were one of tho discoveries of
physiology, small thanks would be due
to the science from ovcrburdcncd man.
But it is not 80. The parent himself, as
is well known, can modify and make
worse or better both his constitution and
his character. Similarly, tho child's
constitution and character may be
changed, until, by tho operation Of the
law of hcredity itself, not very Jcmoto
descendant may be tho antipodes Of his
early progenitors. The discovery Of an
existing inherited taint of disease or Of
vice in "a child is not a cause for regret,
but for thankfulncss. Tho disease taint
itself is, Of course, to be deplored. and
so is the inherited vice; but it's early dis
covery is to DO hailed with gratitude as
pointing out lines of physical and moral
treatment which may lead 10 tho prac-
tical enfeeblemcnt Of tho taint or even
to its eradication. London Hospital.

OF Scranton, Pa, was told few years
ago by his physician that he must either
quit smoking or die. As he didn't want
to die he quit smoking. He loved the

Joyed it by frequenting the company of

smoke good tobacco, he finally adopted

The Pope /. Great Ches. Player.

Tho pope has weakness for chess.
Ho is very fine player, and In tho
amateur ranks is said to havo few
superiors in the knowledge OF gambits
and openings. There is one priest In
Rome who has the especial honor Of
being tho pope's adversary over the
board. This priest-Father Giella--has
played chess with Leo Pecci for thirty
two years past. When Cardinal Pecci
was raised TO tho papal throne, Father
Giella, who was then In Florence, got an
invitation TO proceed to Rome and take
up his quarters in the Vatican. Giella is
hot tempered, and has been known TO
look very black indeed at tho vicar Of
Christ across his chess board. Tho pope
takes Giellas temper good naturedly,
and often improves the occasion by a
little hornily on tho virtues Of resigna-
ton and meekness. London Court
