GRENADA. MISS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER H. 1891
Jullge R0ane.

The gentleman whose name heads
this article is now the State Senator
from Yalobusha county. He is no
stranger to our people, nor is he u
stranger in the Legislative Halls at
Jackson. He has before represented
Yalobusha county, both as a Aoater
and State Senator. Individually we
can vouch for the democracy and moral
integrity of our Senator, and though
we opposed his election and did all wo
could to defeat him, We have no hcsi:
fancy in saying that no district in the
State will have a better representative.
Judge R0ane is an able man. He is
above an average. His every impulse
IS for the people Of Mississippi. Dur
ing his official term, we don't hesitate
to say ho will always be found advoca-
ting the cause Of his people. The
small differences he has had with us in
this canvass should not cstrange our
people from their Senator. We be-
lieve Judge Roane will deal Justly by
Yalobusha. Water Tulley Headlight.

Mrs. Pettis, a lady living at Lake
Emily, in lie Sueur county, met with an
experience that she is not apt to forget
for some time. She was out boat riding
during the evening, and while out on
the lake her boat, which was leaky, be-
gan to fill with water. She was in the
vicinity of Cedar island, and rowed
there for h purpose of bailing out the
boat. She got IN shore, and some dis
lance from where she landed she spied a
can, which she proceeded to get. She
got the car, but when she returned she
was Mortified to find that a strong wind
had taken her boat some distance out
into the lake.
The island was some distance from
shore, and her cries of distress were I'M
heard, and the prospect of spending the
night was anything but pleasant. No
one came to her relief, and, as there was
no way of escape, she was compelled to
accept the condition imposed by unkind
fate n remain. She passed the night
and was discovered next afternoon by a
party of st. Peter campers, who were
out sailing. One of the party, A. F.
Everson, secured n skif and fastened to
the island to rescue the unfortunate
woman from another night of horror.
She was taken into camp and kindly
cared for by the ladies, and her mental
equilibrium was soon restored. She has
no desire to spend another twenty-four
hours in a like manner.-Cor. st. Paul

The banana belongs to the lily family,
and is a developed tropical lily, from
which by ages of cultivation the seeds
have been eliminated and the frnit for
which it was cultivated greatly expand
ed. In relation to the bearing qualities
of this fruit Humboldt, who early saw
the wonders of the plant, said that the
ground that would grow ninety-nine
pounds of potatoes would also grow
thirty-three pounds of wheat, but that
the same ground would grow 1000
pounds of bananas, consequently to that
of wheat is 1873 to l and to that Of pota-
toes A to l.
The banana possesses all of the essen
tials to the sustenance of life. The savage
of the sea isles and the jungle owes what
he has of physical strength to this food.
Wheat alone, potatoes alone, will not
do this. When taken as a steady diet it
is cooked-baked dry in the green state,
pulped and boiled in water as soup, or
cut in slices and fried. do o know
whose beauty l admire the most, the ma
jestic cocoa palm, with its heavy crown
of great fringed leaves, or the graceful

The town and springs are delightfully."-

3,400 feet above the sea level; thus insur-
ing a pure atmosphere and exhilarating

Under the enterprising and progressive
management of the Hot Springs company
many desirable improvements have been
made; among the number the erection Of
a c~ommodious bath house fitted up with
all modern convenienccs for the comfort
Of guests. New hotels have been built
and comfortably furnished throughout,
conducted in first-class style and at rea-
souable rates. Those who prefer stopping

Speaking retrospectively," said a
fashionable widow, when | was a girl
in society the white dress was consid-
cred one of the sweetest things a young
lady could veal. Now one never sees
them except at a commencement or a
wedding. Prints, prints, printsl Even
the sweet girl graduate in a white dress
is a rarity. As for Broadway, the sight
of a white dress on anybody but an in
FAINT is a thing of general feminine COM
ment.
81 know it is rather daring to venture
an opinion in this era of colors, but 1
think now that a young and pretty
woman in pure white is the loveliest
vision in the world of beauty. She need
not be SO very young, either, if reason
ably pretty. I've seen women who could
be called without offense neither young
nor pretty who looked better in white
than anything they could have put on"
And what mar of forty upward, pray.
will not agree with her?

tache or beard went out with the white

The Colorado Midland is responsible
for the most novel, and at the same time
the most practical departure of the years
railway arrangements. The new depart
ure comes IN tho form of a combination
ticket, which is good for passage on all
the regular trains of the line between Col
orado Springs and Woodland Park, and
allows the hOluer to stop at any of the ho-
tells IN the Justly famous Ute Pass" The
fact is that all the hotels are in the Pass,
and the visitor can, therefore. have a fine
opportunity to see all there is to be seen
IN one OF the most celebrated parts Of
the picturesque West.
The arrangement Is so simple that any
one Can understand ii at a glance. The
tourist buys a ticket at any Of the Offices
OF he Santa Fe or Midland roads for as
mnav days as he expects to he out, paying
therefor a liked amoun THIS ticket en-
titles him TO the best accommodations at
the hotels bctScen the points mentioned,
tor as long or as short a time as he desires
to remain at any one them. He is then
entitled to travel to the next one he wishes
to visit, WITHOUT additional cost, as his
ticket Is good on the trains as long as he
wishes to ride.
In thin Way he has the benefit of tho
lowest weekly or monthly rate, and can
divide his time among the varlou' resorts
and pay no mOrf-even lcss-than If he
spent the whole time at a single place.
hese tickets are made good for a week
or any number of days up to thirty, and
children arc given a reduced rate. 1t
costs Il man much less 20 tIavri in this
way than it formerly did, he has no aux-
ietv about hts expense. Tor they are all
paid in advance, and he knows to a dollar
what his trip is going to cost him. For
families it is n great comfort and conven-
fence, for all hustle and discomfort are
done away with.
The Midland has put on three extra
trains, which now make seven trains each
way through the Pass every day. A per-
son can travel through the Ute Pass al
most every hour OF the day or night, and
the guests OF the various resorts can pay
each other friendly visits without any
additional expense.
THIS plan will certainly prove the most
popular OF any yet introduced, and there
is no reason why it should not be a great
success.
Full infoi nation can be obtained from
any agent OF the Santa Fe system or Col
orado Midland road, or by communicating
with Chns. s. Lee, General Passenger
Agent, Colorado Midland Railway. Dem

A heavily yelled woman. dressed in
black, entered the business office of one
of the morning newspapers a few days
ago and inserted a death notice, with
the announcement of the funeral next
day. Many friends of the deceased man
read of his death with sorrow, and at
the hour mentioned for the services
gathered at his house. Several carriages
stood in the street, but no hearse was
visible, nor was there any Grape on the
door.
In fact, instead of witnessing the last
sad rites the visitors found themselves
ushered into a brilliantly decorated
room, in which a clergyman was about
uniting their alleged departed friend to
his second wife. The laugh went around,
but the mystery was not solved until
some time after. 1t has since TRANSFERRED
that his first wife's relatives were bitterly
opposed to the widower's second mar
riage, and inserted the funeral notice in
a spirit of revenge for the outraged feel
ings of the shade of wife No. 1.-Phila-

To Determine the Speed of Electricity.
Philadelphia scientists are preparing
TO find out how fast an electric current
travels An experiment will be made,
probably from the Franklin institute. by
connections over the Atlantic cable to
Liverpool and return.
A recent test appeared to show that an
electric current is a slow coach as com
pared to light, being only able to get
over to Europe and back in something
like a second, or at the rate of only some
400, 900 miles a minute, while light
ambles along at a million miles a minute
gait. The Philadelphia scientists who
are proposing to make further investiga-
tons are not rltisfed to give up the rec
ord to sunlight, and hope to prove that
the electrical current, if not handi-
capped, is the swifter element.
The most recent experiment was tried
at McGil college, Montreal. The cur
rent was transmitted in Montreal, was
transferred to the cable at the New
foundland cable station by means OF
Thompson's mirror galvanometer, sent
across to the station at Liverpool and re-
turned to Montreal by the same method.
The distance traversed, partly by over
head wire and partly by cable, was 5000
miles. From the time the current left
the key in Montreal until it returned 10
the receiver in the same office Just one
second and one-twentieth of a second
had elapsed. and the conditions were not
as good as they might nave been; hence
the further experiment to be made here.
The rapidity with which the current
travels over short wires with no delay
indicated unlimited possibilities in the
direction Of practical tests. Professor
Marks, Of the Edison Electric Light
company, is authority for the assertion
that if the globe was encircled with a
continuous cable a current would travel
the entire distance in a trife over three
seconds. AT this rate a current would
travel to the sun, covering the distance
of 90, 000, 900 miles in three and a half
minutes, or twice as fast as light.-Phila-

Dog worship is, as has been said, n
fashion. 1t is, for the most part, an i'm
~itation, a pretense, in the beginning at
least, though it may become, often does
become, sincere, serious to a degree, in
%jurious after n long indulgence. IN
natural attachments, affections misdi-
rected are likely to bring their own re-
venges. They stray SO far from fitness
that they cannot return to the normal
when they would, whatever the effort
made, That dog worship is a fashion is
shown by the fashionable women who
regularly appear in the parks and public
drives with tiny dogs on their laps or
nesting against their bosoms.
Often these women are unmarried.
They give to dogs the care, the tender
ness, the devotion they would give to
babies had they borne them. 1t is plain

How "a pIsEruntIed Actor DOT Even witt
the Great Hamlet,

How "a nisEruntled Actor DOT Even with
the Great Hamlet.
Edwin Booth, despite his reputation
for being cold and uuapproachable, has
a humorous side and can tell a funny
story, even when it's on himself, with a
solemnity that is refreshing.
A member of the tragedian's company
relates the following: He once told me
about a western experience of his in the
ifties. Booth was then the star of y
certain stock company playing the Call
fornia towns. 1t was rough out there
then, and the same company did every
thing from Hamlet to a song and dance
all at the same theater and often with
in the same week.
"In this company there was n young
man of much histrionic talent, who, pre-
yious to the advent of Booth, played the
leading roles, but who was thrown into
the shade by the new star. Jealousy and
hot words followed. The manager and
the disappointed tragedian were contin-
ually at war over the distribution Of
parts.
when the time for producing Ham
let arrived it was found hat the cast
would necessarily muster into act every
one from the tick seller to the lamp
man. The long suffering manage had
resolved to punish the recalcitrant actor,
and he was given the part of Guilden-
stern.
"There was some muttering, but all
went well enough until the opening
night. The house was filed. The
scenery was crude, and for that matter
so was the audience, but the applause
was generous. Things reached a climax
in the second scene of the third act,
where Rosencranz and Guildenstern are
sent by the king to spy on the alleged
madness OF Hamlet.
THE usual futile endeavors to get any
information out of the melancholy Dane
were gone through with and then, of
course, came Booths powerful scene in
which the musical instrument is intro
duced (the pipe on this occasion being a
clumsy tin affair, painted to suit the
aesthetic soul of the property mani.
1.-THE audience listened in breathless
expectation, and the dialogue proceeded
as follows:
"Hamlet-wm you play upon this
pipe?
"Guildenstern-My lord, l cannot.
H pray You.
DeneVe me, L cannot.
And here the proud Dane lifted him
self erect, preparatory to hurting al
Guildenstern that crescendo of mingled
rage and scorn which begins with ''Tis
as easy as lying, etc But the crescendo
never came.
"Hamlet-I do beseech you.
"Guildenstern-Then / don't mind if l
do.
and seizing the o~bstreperous horn, he
broke forth into a weird, unearthly strain
of Yankee Doodle and what-not.
81 stood there dazed,' said Booth,
for it seemed to me hours, trying to con-
meet the lines or collect my thoughts so
as to go on, but it was of no use, for the
fend with the horn kept right on with
his refined torture, until at last, in sheer
mercy, the curtain went down to rise no
more that night.
