Alien Landlords.

1t is not generally known that for
eigners own in round numbers about
27,000,O00 acres of land in the United
States, scattered over the Southern
and Western States. Some of these
lands are held for grazing purposes,
but the most of them are rented to
tenants. from whom the foreigners are
exacting it is stated rack rents, and
are introducing their system OF evic-
ton as practiced abroad. The entire
own ers, whose names are too numer-
Gus to mention, have formed an ALI
ance among themselves for mutual
protection and economy of collection
under their loca, agents, and have
paid agents in the states where these
lands lie to attend legislative halls
and influence legislation. The tenants
under this state of affairs are uniting
in secret organization, thus introduc-
ing into our country agrarianism.
Legislation in the different states has
been directed against the aliens. prin-
cipally Lord Scully, who owns about
three counties in Illinois. This State
passed law directed against him, to
evade which he made his tenants in
their leases pay all rents. which made
a large body of voters in the Scully
counties opposed to all improvements
by taxation. 1t will doubtless sur
prise the people of Mississippi to know
that 100000 acres of land in this |
State is owned by what is known as |
Syndicate No. 4, which includes the
following high sounding nomencla-
ture: The Marquis of Dolhonsie,
George Henry Howard Cholmondeley
discount Cholinondeley), Georgianna,
Viscountess Cross, Honorable Lady
Hamilton Gordon and Honorable Lady
Biddulph. How do these facts and
names strike the average Mississip.

IRISH POTATOES.
w. B. Cordts, the man who few
years ago stole the editors daughter,
raised a fine crop of fall potatoes last
fall of the Triumph variety. To keep
them he put them in a pump, like
sweet potatoes, in the open air with
only few boards laid on the top to
prevant the rain running in. They
have kept in this way to perfection,
and are firm and fresh as when dug.
They have not shriveled as they do
when kept in barrels, are free from
hard places, are not "watery," and
when cooked cannot be distinguished
from potatoes recently dug. They
do not possess that freshness of spring
potatoes, taken right from the ground
and cooked, which is so much relished
at that season. In this connection we
will reiterate the fact that to keep
either these or sweet potatoes in
pumps, the dirt must be put on from |
to 10 inches deep, SO as to prevent
them from becoming damp or being
chilled. After they have gone through
the sweating" or heating process oc-
casioned by their being bulked and
, arting with their superintendent
moisture, the temperature should be
Is even as possible, which the thick
lirt insures. The top should be venti
ated by small aperture being left
covered only by straw and protected
~ few boards secured SO as to be
in order to keep out rain.
we udu OccdSlOu, III al dTtlCie IN Une
all, to call especial attention to the
act that Memphis firm then had an
gent in this field buying potatoes by
he car load, and that they would buy
vi that could be produced in our To-
ality this year. We believe that this
ould be made a paying industry if
undertaken and prosecuted.

AN EVENING OF SONG.
Miss Walker Heard by an Appre-
CiatiVe Audience.

The song recital by Miss Grace Walker
was attended last night by large and
appreciative audience. The string
quartette composed of Messr.. Reid l.,
Davidson, Luke and Mamie Walker,
rendered two very pleasing selections.
Miss Grace Walkers solos were re.
ceived with much applause and created
additional local pride in her remarkable
musical talent. She was accompanied
on the piano by Mrs. M. W. Martin.
Little Mamie Walker gave the tam
BOURNE dance with the grace of vete-
ran teacher.
l. Elsie D'Amore was rendered by
Mrs. N. Ellis. The selection is one
requiring great deal of talent and was
performed by Mrs. Ellis in a manner
that received for her a great deal OF
praise.
The either and guitar club, consist
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. Plotts and N. C.
Wilson, gave 1.-The Awakening of the
Lions"
Miss Flora COINS piano solo, ''Invi.
tation to the Waltz" was rendered by
her in very creditable manner.

Collec ting Eggs in Cold Weather.

When an egg is exposed to severe
cold it is quickly injured. The con-
tents expand and the egg cracks open,
which renders it useless except to be
quickly used upon the table, as such
eggs can not be sold. Even if the egg
does not crack, the extreme cold de-
stroys the germ, and if it is used for
incubating purposes it will not hatch.
Then, again, when an egg has been
frozen and then exposed to higher
temperature until it thaws, it will be
no longer fresh, as decomposition
quickly begins. In winter always col
lect the eggs often, so as to avoid freez-
ing them.

clamored for revenge as loudly as all
Caesars cruel gashes. Then those who
saw the tragedy ran and told; and others
came and gazed on the silent witness and
on the heartless murderer sleeI ing heavily
beside his victim.
Was the man without heart-vr, stay.
Was he overpowere by some drug? He
reposed at some length in wicker chair,

He breathed stentoriously. His arms
hung down. 1t might be that he. too. was
bound to that unknown land whittier the

In pity they approached him. Even 6

lowered over him moment. but The
sound of their consultation seem ed to dis
turb him, for he stirred and muttered ar
imprecation.
That was enough. The callous brute
dozed beside his victim and knew no re-
morse. With cries OF rage they sprans
upon him, from all sides at once they
flew at him. Like cyclone, like sand
storm, they spared him not.
With shrek of mingled fear and rage
he sprang to his feet and struck wildly

A Long Chance

Here is a story, the great merit Of
which is its absolute truth. The people
concerned in the story have told it to
their friends, and have offered to back it
up with atfidavits, so there is no good
reason to have any doubts.
A man boarded street car TO go to his
home on the south side. He had in his
, pocket two tive-dollar gold pieces ana
several nickles. In paying his fare he was
guided by the sense OF touch. rather than
that of sight, and so he. gave tive-dol
lar gold piece instead OF nickel to the
conductor. He did not learn OF the MIS-
take util he had reached his home.
| Then he went to the car barns to find the
conductor to whom he had given the
| gold piece, but he did not remember the
number of the car. Neither could he ex-
actly remember the appearance of the
| conductor.
On the following day his wife went
| shopping with a woman who lived in the
same neighborhood. They made some
purchases at department store. and the
neighbor in making payment handed the
| salesman q tive-dollar gold piece.
"Oh. those dreadful gold pieces" re-
marked the wife OF the man who had
| been unfortunate.
Don't say that" said the neighhor,
"my husband received this in change
| last evening on street car. He gave the
| conductor quarter and received as he
| he came home he discovered that one
nickel was this gold pieee!"
''Isn't that remarkablel NY husband
paid one by mistake to q conductor last
evening"
II wonder if my husband received you r
Husbands GOLD! piece.
Impossible.
But 1t was possible just the same. The
two husbands came together and COM
pared notes.
''It was the second trailer" said one.
Yes, and it left Madison street at just
about $780,
"At Sixteenth street we stopped to al
low train to pass,
That's right. The conductor was q
small man with red whiskers."
"Sure enough, remember now. was
on the back platform"
II was in 'front.'"
There seemed to be no possible doubt
that they had come home on the same
car. that the conductor had taken the
coin for nickel and given it out for a
nickel. and that the coin received by the
second man belongs to the first. The
money was returned to its rightful owner.
Wouldn't II be problem In mathe-
matics to calculate the chances Of such .
thing happening again9-Chiqago Record.

Although. on the other hand. property
values have risen. The assessors roll
shows q remarkable increase in the value
of property in the oil district. Lots worth
formerly $3.50 and 5000 are now valued at
from $1,000 to $500.
One of the best features of the oil in
dustry here is its general division am ong
many owners. No large combines ope-
rate the wells. They are owned in most
instances by the men on whose rose gar
dens they were originally located. 1t is
said to cost about $1,000 to bore well and
put it in operation. The aggregate OF
all capital now interested amounts to
III ore than half million dollars.
Such is the oil industry in its present
stage of development. What it may be
in the future. with increased proportions
and al the new industries attendant upon
u cheap fuel, can not here be predicted.
The state geologi ist is authority for the
statement that the richest wells have not
vet pesn located, but all the region lying
north and west of the district now being
worked is rich in oil deposits.

Notes About Women

Miss Emily Davis. who laid the founda-
ton OF Girton college in 1863, is still liv-
ing. Nine. Bodlchon. who gave the first
endowment TO Girton ($50oo) is dead.
Miss Beatrice Hariaden. the authoress
OF Ships That Pass in the Night is busily
engaged upon a new work dealing exclus-
lively with English life. Like Bret Harte
in his early days. Miss Harraden, with n
wisdom of the heart, knows how to dis
cover and lay bare ore under a hard and
varied surface. DR.. Conan Doyle in
cluded her name in recent article among
the twelve most promising young writers
OF the day.
Miss Grace Dodge, who has been chosen
by Mayor Strong of New York to become
schoo! commissioner. is often seen on
the street. usually hurrying to or from
some meeting of working women or other
benefaction. Miss Dodge is tall of stat
ure, of strong physique. with sweet face
and mild eyes. In converse tion sLe is all
enthusiasm, and her cheeks glow as she
tells of the good work that is being done
to help the young women who need aid.
Miss Jane l.. Brownell. the Bryn Mawr
fellow in political economy for 1s93-94,
made an original investigation into the
growth and limitations of populations in
the United States, and took her master's s
degree with a thesis on The Significance
of a Decreasing Birth-rate. 1t was pub
lished in the Annals of the American
Academy Of Political Social Science. and
has received wide recognition from polit-
ical economists in this country and in
Europe. Mr.. Herbert Spencer has added
page to the fifth edition of the Princi-
Piles OF Biology TO welcome Miss Brow
nell's statistics as contirmatory OF some
views which he put forth many years ago
regarding the laws of multiplication.

A Startling
Admission.
In New York City, for five con-
secutive years, the proportion
of Deaths from Consumption
has been three in every
Twenty Persons.

Epidemics of Cholera, Yellow Fever and
other diseases of similar character, so ter
rible in their results, occasion wide spread
alarm and receive the most careful consid-
Grafton for their prevention and cure, while
consumption receives scarcely thought,
yet the number of their victims sinks into
insignifcance when compared with those of
consumption. Comparatively few people
know what to do for their loved ones when
they see them gradually lose strength, lose
color manifest feeble vitality and ernacia-
ton, or develop a cough, with difficult
breathing, or henorrhage. Cod liver oil
was for long time given in all such cases,
but the poor success attending its use
coupled with its nauseating taste has led
many practitioners as we'll as the public at
large, to place their main reliance in DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t de-
serves early attention and will prove effect
ual not in cverycase but in large percentage
of cases, and we believe that fully % per
cent of all cases of Consumption cam iftaken
in the early stages of the disease, be cured
with the Discovery" DR.. Pierce does not
ask people to believe until they have in
vestigated for themselves. Apanphlet has
been published having the names, addresses
and photographs of large number of those
cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering
coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and
kindred tnaladies which will be mailed free
to those sending for it with their name and
address upon postal card, or you can have
a medical treatise, in book form of 100
pages, mailed to you, on receipt of address
and six cents in stamps. You can then
write those cured and learn their expert.

Weird and curious stories come from
Mexican lips as to Santa Teresa's magic
curing. Tho goddess of war. vertically,
whenEin the field leading her platouns,
she is no less. 80 the gossips say, a divin-
ity of peace and painlessness when she is
in the midst of her works. The Mexicans,
on the whole, have been chary about dl-
vulging the miracles that they swear have
been performed before many eyes, but
this nevertheless is known, that Santa
Teresa performs her cures in two ways,
by the laying on of hands and by the APP
plication OF certain liquids which are
kept in tiny bottles hung from her neck
by narrow leather thongs, and are never
left in sight.
The liquids are used sparingly, never
more than drop or two at a time, and
their application is purely external. Gen
orally the remedy takes the form OF a rub
bing on the afflicted part with the liquid.
The nearest it ever comes to an internal
application is when single dropis placed
on the tongue. At each touch OF the
saint a solitary word of gruesome import
is muttered, the same sound being re
peated over and over again. 1t is sup
posed that Santa Teresa's power came
from some old medicine man OF one OF
the Arizona Indian tribes.
The most of her cures. nevertheless. are
performed by finger and palm touch.
from all reports she is a marvelously
magnetic woman. and if the whole tru tn
were known it would doubtless be per-
ceiyed that she had the art of hypnotsm
very fully developed. Her hands are
small for woman of her buld and
height, daintily formed. while yet pow
erful.
For the rest she is woman of great
physical endurance. Few frontiersmen
can handle pistol better or outstrip her
in a ride across country. 1t is no small
task to be a Joan of Arc on the Texan
frontier

In January, 1898. two or three oil wells
constituted what was known as the oil
district of Los Angeles. Last March there
were 225 wells in operation. and today
there are in the neig hborhood of 800.
This rapid growth in the oil industry has
a greater meaning than tho mere opening
of rich oil bearing district. 1t bears a
vital relation to all the other indu stries
of this section. Since the introduction of
oil as a fuel all Of the principal works in
and about the power houses OF the elec-
trio and cable roads have done away wi tn
coal.
Scarcity OF fuel was the one drawback
which kept Los Angeles from becoming q
manufacturing city. Now that problem
