towns where small poX is more or
less prevalent every year, the few
cases in Meridian cause no uneasi-
ness whatever; for the simple rca-
son that vaccination is always in
reach and sure preventive.
More than a week ago The News
suggested and enforced vaccination
of 1those who had omitted
this precaution and now that the
municipal order in this direction
has gone forth, it behooves every
good citizen to see to it that it is
properly obeyed.
The most careless class of our
population with respect to this, as
to all other sanitary precautions,
are the negroes. The majority of
these are employed one way oran-
other by white people and it is
incumbent upon these employees
to see to it that all servants
porters or other employees
are promptly and effectually vac
Cinated.
1t is known that small pox is
both more common and more ia
tai among blacks than whites. 1t
is also known that they are noto-
riously careless of taking precau-
ton against this or any other
disease, and the public health de-
mands that somebody look after
the laws requirements in this di-
rection now that the city has made
it obligatory upon every one to
adopt the usual preventive against
the spread Of the disease, and no
one can see to this so easily as the
employer.
Nor is the public welfare the on
| ly consideration. A due regard
for the health ofone's family ought
to be motive enough to make sure
that no one is permitted upon the
premises who has not been vacci-
mated, and the News looks to the
employers of the city to see to il
that the order for general vaccl-
nation be promptly and literally
obeyed." F."

Be Careful About Your Speech.

1t is an idiosyncrasy of some
persons to pronounce the past
tense and the past participle
of the verb to ask exactly like the
present; that is, they do not sound
the ed; still Others do not artic-
ulate the k, and say: II ast her
to 90 with me" Be careful to
speak the words distinctly, as ask
and askt (asked). Be an im-er or
able, not in-en-or able, critic of
your own pronunciation; and If you
have any trouble in remembering
certain words which you habitually
mispronounce, make a note ofthem
and give yourself a special drill
upon them. Always refer to a
good dictionary when in doubt;

A PICNIC IN ARKANSAS.
Judge Scarborough Writes III
terestingly ola Gala Occasion.

The editor of THE STAR is in re-
ceipt of an interesting letter from
Judge |. w. Scarborough, who is
now in Newport, Ark, giving an
account OF a picnic on the banks of
White River. We make the fol-
lowing extracts:
yesterday was gala day for
many of the citizens of Newport.
There is a prosperous business
man here by the name of Decker,
who, in connection with his busi-
ness, owns and runs a steam boat
on White River. Tuesday of each
week is an off or rest day. Mrs.
Decker has adopted the rule of
taking advantage of the rest day
on the first Tuesday in May OF
each year and using Capt. Decker's
boat for a pleasure trip either up
or down the river. Owing to the
unfavorabDe state of the weather
on the first Tuesday she was dis
appointed; but, wi h that persever-
ing energy characteristic of all no
Bile women, she sent out her invl-
tations to as many of the families
of Newport as she thought the
boat was capable of carrying with
the low stage of the water, which
is over 80 feet below the high
water II ark.
My son and family were among
the list invited, there being about
two hundred persons on the list.
About $50, a. M, the invited
guests repaired to the river and
boarded the boat CA. h, Bragg.

and therefore unconstitutional and
void, because not apportioned ac
cordlng to representation, all those
sections constituting one entire
scheme of taxation are necessarily
invalid.
The DEGREES hereinbefore enter.
ed in this court will be vacated.
The DEGREES below will be revers-
ed, and the cases remanded with
instructions to grant the relief
prayed for.
Sections II to 81 of tariff act of
1894, referred to in the conclusions
of the court in the opinions, are all
the sections Of the act relating to
the income tax, SO that the entire
income tax law is declared void
specifically.
The annullment OF the income
tax will neces state the dismissal
Of the $50 deputy collectors and
other employees engaged under the
law to collect the tax and the abol-
ition Of the division Of the internal
revenue bureau.
The treasury department, under
section 1920 Of the internal revenue
laws, seems to have authority to
| refund the SIS, 600 Of income taxes
already paid in. The section au.
thorizes the commissioner "to re-.
NIT, refund or pay back all taxes
enormously or illegally assessed,
or collected and all taxes that ap.
pear to be unjustly assessed, or
excessive in amount, or in any
manner wrongfully collected. /"
The objection has been urged
that the money, having been paid
into the treasury, could no, be paid
out except by authority of con.
gress. But this objection is met
by the statement that the money
may be refun ]ed out of the contin.
gency appropriations. The time
of the internal revenue bureau has
been engrossed hitherto by the in.
come tax, and pow that it is out oil
the way the commissioner will
have an opportunity to arrange for
the payment of sugar bounty
claims. This matter will probably
be taken up as soon as Secretary
Carlisle returns to the city and
regulations formulated. The loss
of the s90,00O,000 revenue from
the income tax is considered as as.
sur;ng the permanency of the sugar
duty and will probably lead to ar
increase of customs taxes by the
next congress.
The treasury officials think thai
the government will be able to rur
along until the meeting of congress
next December, and that it will
not be necessary to call an extra
session. There will, however, be
a large deficit.

SMALL PON U0llIe,l} 9,EAI,.


TO the Public::-
My purpose for writing this let
ter is to remind the people that
they are failing to avail themselves
of the protection offered them by
the scientific members of the med
ical profession. While there is no
immediate danger of an epidemic
of small pox in this vicinity, yet
the fact remains that there is al
ways, and at all times, more or
less danger in coming
in contact with affected persons
or articles of merchandise capable
OF communicating the disease and
we possess no means of modify
ing the course Of the scourge when
once developed, either to shorten
the duration of the affection. The
treatment being mainly symptom
attic, the result depending largely
upon the form of 'eruption assum-
ed by individual cases.
1t would be a useless sexpendi-
ture Of time and space to discuss
the value of vaccination as means
Of saving men from Small pox, the
greatest scourge of the day. Suf-
fee it that it would be prudent and
wise for parents to have their chill
dren vaccinated in infancy and
then again FIVE years later, lastly
at maturity. BY this course they
are assured that they are forever
protected from this loathsome dis
ease. If attacked at all, the form
is SO slight that the patient hard
| ly seeks bed. All well regulated
cities compel all children to have
been successfully yaccinated be-
fore they can be enrolled at the
public schools. If the law went a
little further in this direction, the
disease would ere long be blotted
off the face of the earth. 1t can
be done and done solely without
any risk of life and the spirit of
the age demands that we put into
practice those laws that experience
has demonstrated to be unmistaka-
bly, prophylactic or preventive.
1t is an easy matter to abalte a
difficulty, but troublesome to erod-
icate when once on. 1t is not my
purpose to write a5treatise'on small
pox or vaccination, as both are
we'll understood, but simply to re-
fresh your minds on an old, but
none the less important subject.
Small pox is getting nearer to us
all the time. Over here in Nerd !
ian there are several cases, some
II to IS in number, and it is not
impossible that we may yet have
it in our midst. There is restric-
ton to travel. The period of in
cubation, or the time elapsng from
exposure to the development OF
the disease is from 10 to I3 days.
The time required for vaccination
to take is three or four days, hence
if a person exposed to Small pox
should at once become vacclnated
: the affection would likely be pre-
vented. But why postpone a duty
SO important until the last minute,
hoping never to be exposed. Any
physician can successfully perform
: the operation of vaccination and
} should insist on his patrons taking
the precaution, not only for his
self protection, but for the sake OF
posterity. There is nothing new
in these remarks, no originality OF
! ideas, though if it be the means
of preventing one person from con.
tracing the modern scourge,
shall fell paid.
Yours,

Eatol and lY lin cordially Nli-
coined to participate in the pleas
urcs Of the day. Capt. Decker
was the Prince and not the kim
Of the day. Like Prince Albert to
Queen Victoria, Capt. Decker was
a subject of Mrs. Decker, the
! Queen of the day. And right well
!dld each perform their partto each
other, and to their guests. The
prince and queen of Newport on
the l4th of May, 1895, did not only
anticipate the wants of their guests,
but contributed to their minutest
wants and pleasures; they are Ger
tainly worthy of warm place in
the hearts and affections of the
people of Newport. Some min
utes after 9 o'clock the boat was
let loose from her fastening, gen
tly swung around and descended
the river with her precious freight
for about seventeen miles to con-
Yenient place, where the boat ca
bled up to the bank and threw out
her plank walk upon which her
precious freight soon passed from
the boat to the first grove. In a
very short time there were fires
burning, table constructed out Of
plank carried there by the boat
pursuant to, and by the direction
of the Queen and Prince of the oc-
casion. Hammocks and swings
suspended, chairs arranged on the
ground, ice mixed with water,
baskets filled with all kinds Of
bread, meats, and cakes sufficient
to satisfy any and all, even the
most fastidious. Those who were
lockers on, and had no special du-
ties to perform, disposed of them
selves according to their tastes and
opportunities. Some went hunt
ing for squirrels, some fishing,
: some promenading, some playing
ball, while the ladies selected BY
the queen of the day were busy
spreading cloths upon the table
and using the fires in mixing water
and coffee in proper proportion to
please and crafty the appetite.
Sometime thereafter our atten-
tion was attracted by the voice of
lady calling for a prominent law
yer, who was a short distance
away. He soon made his appear
ance, and after short consulta-
ton there was a paper handed to a
man. Then it opened up to our
! view that the ingenuity of woman
E had developed into a full-hedgc d
kangaroo court, with a lady Judge
and prosecuting attorney. Upon
the return into court of the man to
I whom the paper was handed, he
. had in custody young lady and
young man. The charge against
:, them was an attempt to violate the
law of consent, or rather the abill-
t ty to consent to marry. The court
4 appointed an attorney to represent
the accused and empanneled a ju-
t ry of six ladies. The evidence de-
veloped that the young lady was
t quite charming and unusually
S magnetic, and when she fixed her
p heart on a subject there was no es.
e cape, but willing yield to her
r power. 1t also developed that the
: young man was a subject of Par

S ed by the court after the argument
e was closed and directed to retire
