 thoroughly Representative Citi-
 zens' Meeting.
 Not even one of Manager Bunnelrs bright, particular star attractions, after having been heralded with flaming litho- graphs and lauded by both metropolitan and provincial press, could draw out such . crowd as literally packed the Grand opera house at the special meeting of the New Haven city school district at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The call for the meeting was sent out by the board of edu- cation to take action on certain resolutions which had been presented to the board of education protesting first against the awarding of the contracts for the Board man manual training school to any but a
 resident of New Haven; second, against
 the use of prison-made articles in it's
 equipment, and third, that no contract be
 awarded except with the agreement that
 none hut union labor be employed in its
 construction.
 Great interest has been taken in this
 issue from the beginning and strong feel ings have been aroused on both sides. As .
 result yesterday's immense assembfage was called forth. Conservative estimates place the number in the opera house at 2, 500 and there were hundreds of citizens who came shortly after o'clock to the opera house who could not gain admission at all as the doors were closed at that time, there moi being an inch more available room. There was quite number of ladies present st the meeting who had been made voters especially to attend this meeting. In the boxes were Mrs. Henry G. Newton and Mrs. Judge Sheldon. The meeting wae composed of 8 thoroughly representative oitissns' assembly. The labor people were out in force to gain their point, if possible, while their opponents had marshaled their forces for the fight in solid rank and file The meeting was stormy ono from the beginning. Benjamin R. English, clerk oi the district, called the meeting to order promptly at 3 o'clock. Postmaster N. D. Sperry immediately arose and nominated Attorney Isaac Wolfe for moderator of the meeting. MT, English was about to put the question when John E. Fitzgerald leader of the union forces, jumped up and demanded that there be fair play. He said they had come there to fight the matter and that he nominated Captain Sucher fol moderator. A standing vote was taken l and Attorney Wolfe was elected modera. tor by large majority. This told the | story of how the meeting was going. The

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


v1cKsBURa, Oct. 1.-THE eastward
passage of the gulf storm Of October
was followed by a general movement OF
cold air toward the coast districts, and
as result the mean temperature OF the
week under consideration has been APP
preciably below the normal in this
State. the average daily deficiency being
between two and three degrees. The
rainfall measured about normal, and oc-
Cured on the Sd and 9th. Dry weather
and an unobscured sky was the record
for the remaining portion OF the week.
There has been no noteworthy change
in the condition OF the crops; no ruling
features in the correspondents reports
TO modify the general tenor Of state
ments already made. In the northern
counties the week has, as usual, been
devoted mostly to cotton-picking, inter-
rupted only on the Sd and 9th, and the
prediction has been given that the crcp
will be about all taken out OF the held
by the 1st of November. All buta very
small portion Of the corn crop has been
put in the crib, and slightly more IA
vorable report as to its quality is now
being made than heretofore. Hay har-
vesting is approaching close; good
crop has been saved, and OF excellen
quality, due to favorable weather.
The reports from the upper tier OF the
southern counties are of the same ma
ture as expressed for the northern Sec
ton of the State. The coast district.
while more fortunate than similarly ex'
posed districts in our State, did not en-
trely escape damage from the terrible
storm that wrought such havoc in Louis
lana. Exclusive, however, OF marine
disaster and damage to property on the
immediate shore line, the injurious eff
fects of the storm have been compare
lively light. The high winds pros
, trated much timber and blew out a
great many cotton bolls, but the sue
ceeding dry sunshiny weather helped
the situation materially. AS the corn
and hay in this section was all housed
it is safe to say that cotton alone sui
fered, and that to no great extent.
Minor crops are doing we'll. Fall cab

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The officials OF
the Chicago. Milwaukee e. st. Paul
road have good reason to believe that
plot had been laid to rob the fast
mail train on that road early yester.
day morning at point just north of
Oak Glen station. About 2 o'clock in
the morning four ough-looking men
entered the telegraph office at Oak
Glen station and inquired if the fast
mail stopped at Oak Glen and when
she was due. They were informed
that she passed the station about
o'clock and did not stop After leav
ing the Office they were joined by two
or three companions who had re
manned outside and the whole party
proceeded short distance up the
track. The operator suspected tina
all was not right, and watching the
party, saw them, after several attempts
succeed in lighting a lantern. He i'm

Are Entitled to Register.

JACKSON, Oct. 12.-The Supreme Court
today decided the case of j. r. Bew,
Registrar of Lefore County, vs.. the
State of Mississippi, holding that any
person possessing the qualifications re-
quired by the constitution is entitled to
register as voter whether he shall
have paid his taxes or not. The tax
question is only to be considered when
he proposes to vote. They are entitled
to be registered at any time either be-
fore or after paying taxes. This de-
cision will not affect the votes but will
materially affect the matter OF whisky
petitions and the ordinances OF elections
for local option, when in both cases the
registered majority must be overcome.
The decision also says that voter must
have been registered four months before
voting at a local option or any other
election.
