conviction that there is nothing

whisky Fight 1t Holly Springs

Holly SPRINGS, Miss, Oct. s.
Whisky fighting whisky is rath-
or a novel feature in the liquor
question here. J. W. Boone was
granted a license this summer to
sell liquor by the gallon, and his
success stimulated Il. W. Me
Guirk and Il. w. Green 10 try
their fortune, and they were
granted licenses on Friday and
today respectively, but over the
protest Of j. W. Boone, who
did not want the pic divided. --

An Interesting Occasion.

The Parsonage and Home Mis-
sion Society of the North Missis-
sippi Conference has just held a
most interesting meeting in the
Methodist church at Holly
Springs. Since there are so many
of our w. G. T. L. women who
are also members of this society
it may interest them to know that
this was most profitable and de-
lightful meeting in every respect.
All regretted the absence of the
President, Mrs. Judge Foot, but
the first vice-President, Mrs. T.
B. Hargrove, presided with great
ease and dignity and "showcd her
colors" for the temperance work
by wearing the white ribbon.
The majority of members and
delegates present also wore the
white ribbon and | was delighted
to see so many strong, earnest
women engaged all along the diff
ferent lines of Christian work,
come together in the one grand
work of this society and work as
one person for the furtherancc of
it plans.
The business sessions were very
full of interest to the last-the
devotional exercises were delight
full. The addresses of the frater-
nal delegates were most cordially
received. There were five of
these, two of whom were Prcsby-
terrain sisters, one from the For
eign Missionary Society of her
church, the other a delegate from
the Holly Springs w. c. T. L.
Both of these greetings were full
of Christian love and hearty en-
dorsement of the work at hand.
One of the delegates was from
the Holly Springs auxiliary Of the
Foreign Mission Society Of the
Methodist church welcoming their
''baby sister, (the Parsonage and
Home Mission Society. There
was also fraternal delegate from
the Foreign Missionary Society
of the North Mississippi Confer
ence and one from the Mississippi
State w. G. T. L. This last
your editor had the honor and
privilege to deliver; but felt her
self altogether unequal to the per-
Torrance of such duty. On
Tuesday afternoon there was Il
sweet memorial service held in
memory of our two sainted sisters,
Miss Matte Robinson and Mrs.
Mamie b. FAINT. The church was
draped in white with sweet roses
and. daisies so emblematic in their
quiet, sweet beauty of the inhu-
ence of an humble Christian life.
Today one of our Flower Mission
girls, with loving hands will place
these beautiful flowers On the
grave of our loved sister whose
body sleeps SO peacefully this
bright October morning out in
our beautiful cemetery, while her
freed spirit rejoices Sin the sweet
fields of Eden where the Tree of
Life is blooming"

9th 1894

The Prohibition Party of Mississippi
in Convention assembled, acknOwledg-
ing Almighty God as the source Of all
true government and His law as the
standard to which human enactments
must conform to secure the blessings
of peace and prosperity, present the
following declaration Of principles:
LIST, We declare our allegiance to the
National Prohibition party and re-af-
firm our endorsement of the National
platform adopted at Cincinnati June
3Oth, 1892.
2nd. AS the ballot is the bulwark of
the peoples liberties, we favor an in
teiligent standard of suffrage and hon
esty and purity in all elections by the
people, and demand that all parties
shall be fairly represented on election
boards in this State.
Bird, We condemn, in unmeasured
terms, the spirit of mob violence which
prevails in this and other States, where
by many citizens have been put to Il
cruel and speedy death without the
benefit of Judge or jury or the oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence as
guaranteed to them by the Constitu-
18th, We demand the repeal Of the
United States Internal Revenue law au-
thorizing the issuance of Government
permits for the sale of liquor in Prohi-
bition territory.
9th, In view of the serious and
alarming industrial and financial con
ditiOns of the country, we deem the
settlement Of the currency question in
III accordance with the principles laid
down by the Prohibition party OF ur-
gent concern, second only in impor-
lance TO the suppression of the liquor
traffic itself. 1.-The money of the coun-
try should consist ofgold, silver and pa
per, and beissued by the General Coy
ernment only, and in sufficient guam
tity to meet the demands of business
and give full opportunity for the en-
ployment of labor. To this end an in
crease in the volume of money is de
manded. No individual or corpora.
ton should be allowed to make any
profit through its issue. 1t should be
made a legal tender for the payment OF
all debts, public and private. It's vol
ume should be fixed at definite sum
per capita and made to increase with
our increasing population.
RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That we cannot too Sc
verely condemn the action of Missis-
sippi's Congressman in the House OF
the 5lst Congress, every one of whom
except Hon. Clarke Lewis of the 4th
District, opposed the passage Of the
Wilson original package bill, whereby
it was sought to prevent the nullifica
tion of all the Prohibition laws in this
and other States.

ATTACK PROBABLY POSTPONED.
Intentions of Admiral Da CANA Were
Disclosed.

Intentions of Admiral Da CANA Were
Disclosed.
Copyrighted 1894 by the Associated Press.)
RIO DE JANEIRO. Feb. 5.-Later in
formation concerning the intended landing
OF the insurgents in the neighborhood Of
Nictheroy show that it was the intention
OF Admiral Da Cana to send his forces
ashore on Sunday morning, and that from
the advices which he had received from
the insurgent agents ashore the admiral
was led to believe that two regiments Of the
national guard would join issue with the
insurgents the moment the latter landed
1t is added, however that the plot leaked
out. and the insurgents were compelled to
postpone their contemplated attack until
today.
But, up to the hour this dispatch is filed,
the insurgents have not made any attack
upon Nictheroy. and unless some decided
change takes place soon in the attitude of
the national guard at Nictheroy, it is prob
able that the guardsmen will remain loyal
to President Peixoto, and that the insur-
gents will have to still further postpone
their decisive attempt to capture the city
entioned.
The supporters of the government say
that Admiral da Gama's announced inten-
ton of making an attack in force yesterday
or today upon Nictheroy is only another
bluff upon the part of the rebel COM
mander, who is said to lack the energy and
ability necessary to successfully carry out
any such plan.

1t has developed that quite a number of

ton: One Of these is by Representative
Black Of Illinois. and another by Represen-
tative Cockrell Of Texas, with the Holman
amendment, will make three propositions
differing from the McCreary resolution.
which seeks to determine the policy of the
House on the Hawaiian question.
None of the three propositions have yet
been submitted to the House. and there is
prospect that they may even crowded
ton Of the rule under which the Hawaiian
debate proceeds. Mr.. Holman said today
that he was ready to offer his modified
resolution, but there was doubt as to his
getting the recognition Of the chair for this
purpose. Speaker Crisp has already ruled
that the McCreary resolution Is open to
amendment and substitute. but Messrs.
Holman, Black and Cockrell foresee that
speeches may continue up to the very mo-
ment Of $50 o'clock tomorrow, when the
vote is to be taken without delay for amend

understood that the Black and Cockrell
amendments are substantially similar to
that of Mr.. Holman in declaring against
American interference in behalf of the
monarchy.
What Committeeman Say.
Senator Jones (Ark.), a member of the
finance committee, says he does not think
that hearings will be given on the tariff
bill, and that the committee will be ready
to report back next week. Senator Voor-
hees says the matter will be settled at the
meeting of the committee tomorrow.

ONLY GOLD FOR THE BONDS.
Greenbncks Will Not be Accepted by
the Treasury.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The New York
banks it is said will make application for
issues of gold certificates against deposits
of gold coin at the treasury so soon as the
gold reserve of 500, 900 is restored by
the proceeds of the sale of government
bonds. This issue was suspended when the
gold reserve fund was first infringed upon.
The subtreasury has received inquiries
as to whether legal tender notes would be
received in payment for the bonds allotted
when it was the manifest intention to OBJ
tain gold from the treasury by presenting
them for redemption. After consulting tine
Treasury Department at Washington, these
inquirers were informed that gold and gold
certificates only will be received in payment
for bonds. Holders of legal tender notes
desiring to use them in payment for bonds
must first present them for redemption in
gold.
Most of the New York subscribers to the
new loan will turn in actual gold from their
own valuts. At the close of business on
Saturday the subtreaSury had received
total deposits of $20,00OUUO from banks and
trust companies which have subscribed for
bonds.

AMERICAN PLUCK IN AFRICA.
Explorer SelOus Tells "a Graphic Story
of MntabeleIand.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Mr. F. c. Selous. the
explorer, who has just returned from South
Africa, where he has been DISTINGUISHING
himself in the operations against the Mata-
beies. tells a graphic story of his expert
ences with the Wilson detachment, recently
massacred by the Matabeles.
Selous also confirms the statements made
by Coryndon, the hunter, of the prominent
and brilliant part taken by two Americans
Ingram and Burnam, during Capt Wilson's
pursuit of King Lobengula Selous' story
he had from the lips of Ingram, and the
explorer has no words too strong to praise
the dashing and dangerous ride of the two
Americans after they left the Wilson party
The natives. says Selous. were keeping no
hot fire from both sides of the valley ana
the whites answered it steadily.
Wilson called to Durham, the second
American, and asked if he thought he could
ride back to the main column, commanded
by Maj. Forbes, to get help To this I}ur-
nam replied: Il will try. major bnt
should like Fred Ingram to accomoapv
me-"
Capt. Wilson agreed to this. and Selous
continuing, says that after leaving tha;r
comrades, the Americans first rode down
the valley in order to get clear of the

But the Americans outnanked them and
managed to get clear. No sooner were
they clear of the body of the enemy. how
ever. when they came upon a second and
much larger force rapidly ADVANCING
through the bushes and evidently bent upon
joining in the attack upon the Wilson
party.
But when they saw the two Americans
the natives charged upon them, thinking
they would be able to surround them
but Durham and Ingram rode so splendidly
and fired with such good effect that they
again succeeded, in spite of the fact that
their horses were tired out, in outflanking
the swift-footed savages.
When the Americans finally got clear of
their brilliant display of generalship, horse
manship and craftsmanship, they and their
horses were completely exhausted.
When questioned as to the state in which
they left the Wilson party, replying to the
questions of Commissioner Jameson, who
asked Ingram IL the wilson party could
not possibly have outfanked the Kaffirs
and retreated down the Shang Ari river
the American replied: II guess not doc

the horses and many of the others were

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Not DESTROYS of taking part in the con-
troversy between the "childrens guar
diars" and the Industrial Home school,"
yet, in spirit of fairness, We feel as if
the Industrial School is entitled to this
credit. For the past five years. when it
became necessary for the boys of that in
stitution to start out on their own re-
sources to begin life, Mrs. Barlowe the
superintendent of the school, brought the
lads to US, and as we have use for boys,
of that age, we most invariably gave them
MISUNDERSTANDING them as cash boys
bundle wrappers or messenger boys-in the
capacities most suited to them; and as the
board of managers of that institution are
well aware, we gave employment TO many.
These boys were always gwen preference
tor the training they received was SO much
in their favor. 1ney were well behaved,
truthful, and knew right from wrong
4 hey were reared in those quantities that
are SO necessary to boys of that age. In
nearly ali lnstar ces they merIped ana re-
ceiNed promotion, one OF the boys reaching
the important position OF assistant cashier,
which TACT in itself speaks volumes for his
IL Iegrity ana ambition. We have now in
cur employ several boys that were reared
in the Industrial Home School and a
brighter and more willing set OF boys il
would be difficult to md. We only cite all
this to show that the Industrial home
School and Mrs. Barlowe have certainly
accomplished a great deal, for which they
deserve commentator. Yours very truly,
