For the frst time in the long drawn-out trial
of w H. Theodore Durrsnt for the murder OF
Blanche Lamont i'll the belfry of Emmanuel
Church there was a genuine exhibition OF
feeling in the little group OF ladies that sur
round the prisoner constantly.
1t was the central figure of that female
group-a little, black-eyed woman, dressed de-
murely but never solemnly, almost entirely
in black-Mrs. Durrant, the prisoners mother
who gave way at last under the powerful de-
nunciations of District Attorney Barnes for
the perpetrator of the awful crime.
She was seen 10 bend her head over on the
prisoners shoulder. Those who sat near her
saw the tears come. She stTuggled-or seemed
TO struggle-brayely to Keep them back. Then
she wept outright, though silently.
A ten minutes recess was taken, during
which Mrs. Durrant composed herself for the
remainder of the afternoon.
Mr.. Barnes spoke all day, and will proba bly,
not conclude until to-day al noon.

VoWEts AND coNsoNANTS.
A Close Look Into the Way They Ar
Formed and Used.

A Close Look Into the Way They Are
Formed and Used.
A. Melville Bell of Washington, in
his note on ''Syllabic Consonants, read
at the second session of the American
Oriental society in this city, said:
"What is is vowel? What is a con.
sonant? What is a syllable?
"A vowel is defined as nonfriction-
al emission Of the voice or of unvocal-
lied breath through an oral channel,
with momentarily fixed confguration
Vowels therefore run smoothly into one
another by merely altering the shape Of
the oral passage without interrupting it.
ga consonant is defined as an inter-
ception of the breath OF voice by oral
stoppage, or by emission through side
channels or through narrow chinks.
The change from one consonant to an
other thus involves motion of the ar
ticulating organs. producing, with more
or less audibility, puff, flap or sib-
iliation.
1.-The two classes of elements meet in
ee Y, 90, w. A syllable is any vocal
element uttered with a single impulse
of voice. All the vocal elements in
syllable must be clustered together with
out admiXture with nonvocals, but any
number of nonvocals may precede or
follow the vocal cluster without affect
ing the syllable unity.
The consonants |, m, II, when they
are final after consonants, frequently
form syllables without vowels, as in
bottle.
The test of good pronunciation is
to give each syllable its own distinct
sound, SO that in the most rapid utter
ance the ear can trace the boundaries
Of every syllable. But the syllable
sounds must be true to customary pro-
nunciation.
1.-The name consonant, if held to i'm
ply an element that cannot b pro-
nounced without a sonant or vowel,
would be misnomer, and its use
should in that case be discontinued in
scientific menology. Vowels are the
soft and plastic substance of speech.
Consonants are the articulations or
joints on which vowels and syllables
turn, Their proper name is, therefore,
'articulatiOns, not consonants.
phonetic elements make syllables.
Syilables make words. Words are to be
considered as the syllables of clauses.
Clauses must be carefully individualiz-
ed, for they are the syllables of sentences.
Divide your sentences into their logical
units or clauses, and indicate within
the clauses all their phonetic units or
syllables, and you will fulfill the grand
fundamental precepts of delivery. -

KIPLlNG'S KIND ACT.
A Story About the Famous Author That
Is Not Unpleasant.

A Story About the Famous Author That
Is Not Unpleasant.
1t has become the fashion of literary
photographers to print whatever stories
of a disagreeble nature concerning Rud-
yard Kipling they can hear or find. In
cidents showing the other side of the
man-the true side, in fact-are rare,
but that this wonderful author is not
quite the literary barbarian which he is
so generally made out to be finds but
stronger evidence in little story which
l heard quite recently.
Not long ago an ambitious young
writer composed his first story. He was
rather skeptical of its merit, and being
a great reader and admirer of Kipling's
work determined to send his literary
tirstborn to Kipling for criticism. His
friends tried to dissuade him from the
idea, telling him that he would never
see his story again. But his faith in his
favorite author was strong, and the
story went to Kipling. A week passed
by, and finally nearly a month had
elapsed. The young writer suffered keen
ly from the ridicule of his friends in the
HedutlmS, anu, lfutn 10 tell, MS IdlGn
began to waver. During the fifth week,
however, letter came postmarked
"Brattleboro, Vt.," and the young
writer opened it with feverish haste.
There was his manuscript, true
enough, but scarcely could he recognize
it, Kipling had evidently put days of
work upon it, making corrections, sug-
gestions and interlineations until the
story contained more of Kipling than of
its original author. With the manu-
script came letter, in which Kipling
said that he was not Sin the habit of
doing this sort of thing, because it took
so much time" But in this case he saw
good chance to make So for particu-
lar fresh air fund in which he was in
terested, and if Mr.. - thought the
work he had put on this manuscript was
worth that sum he would be glad to re-
ceive it for his fund and would send a
receipted bill

of the summer residents Of Blueville of

replied Mr., Flaherty, mopping his heat

"Ah, by ear, then?" said the sum-
mer resident, with smile of gracious
interest.
"Nivver an ear hilps me, yer honor"
responded Mr.. Flaherty, returning his
handkerchief to his capacious pocket.
"Indeedl May ask how you-what

The Original Martinez.

Lord Wolseley, in dissertation on
the discipline of the French army i'll the
reign of Louis XIV mentions that the
instruction of the infantry was intrust-
ed to q General Martinez, ''whose name
is still IL synonym for unrelenting strict
ness in the punctual performance of all
duties, no matter how small and appar-
entity unimportant. The noble and
gallant biographer Of the hero of Blen
helm likewise states that it was General
Martinez who replaced the pike with
the bayonet. In the second Dutch war
he introduced the use of copper pom
toons. Pierre Larousse, on the other
hand, says that Martinez, notwithstand-
ing his talents and the important serv-
ices which he rendered to his country,
never rose beyond the rank of a colonel
of infantry.
Lord Wolseley has omitted to record
another notable invention OF General or
Colonel Martinez, He introduced into
the French army the celebrated ''cat
with IL tails of cords or leather, which
still bears his name in France and is
used to beat clothes and sometimes chill
dren with. As to our own military
cato nine tails, its origin is mystery,
The old correctional whip of justice had
only three lashes, and the importation
OF "a cat with nine is sometimes ascribed
to William III, who brought over with
him to England in 1858 several regi-
ments of DGtSh guards, in whose ranks
the stfierest discipline was maintained.

opened on the 18th instant, is now
fully under way. We were glad to
note that, at the opening, both the
Christian religion and patriotism
were recognized. 1t is at such
great assemblages as this that the
quality of the true nation is seen.
The anarchist, the atheist, and
other fools, have there no place.
Sometimes, as we read the foolish
gibes of socialists and infde1s, &C
companied by weakly prophesyings
of a few prominent newspapers, we
are led to believe that the republic
is crumbling and that chaos is
ahead. But when the sovereign
people get together, the falsity of
such a position is evident. Then
it may be seen that the land is
brimful of hope and confidence
and that the Lord is our God.
Then is perceived how meager is
the minority of the scoffer at both
our religion and our government.
We wonder that he does not see
it. He is small-infnitely small
AS Sam Jones says of the youthful,
foolish, kid-gloved, gold caned cir
cult rider, if he should get astrlde
a goose quill his feet would not
touch the ground.
We welcome this great exposi-
fion. It has started out on the
right line. The question of Sun
day opening has not even been
mooted. Amusements such as the
cruel Mexican bull fight, have been
prohibited. Christian morals con-
troll the management, SO far as we
can determine. Indeed, if it should
prove otherwise, it would be di-
rectly in the face of the we'll
recognized conservative and re-
ligious spirit Of the sovereign peo-
pie OF our Southland.
Consequently, the exposition
promises much for the South. OF |
course the greatest crowds will at |
tend from this section of the Union. |
But thousands will come from the I
great North. Northwest and West. |
And they will come with a pur-
pose. That purpose will be, on !
the part of many, to spy out the
land with a view to, settlement. I
Never, since the, war, have the
eyes of the home-seeker been di-
Tected towards the South as now. /
So evident is this condition of |
affairs that companies of inquiry
into the value of Southern lands,
in the interest of prospective set
tiers, have been formed in the
West, especially. And these COM
panies are not composed of South
ern men, or their agents, deslrous
of creating a boom in Southern
land. But they are. made up of
those in the West and other sec
tions, who have noticed the dispo-
sition, not Of the immigrant but of
the old settler in those sections, to
go to the South in search of valua-
bic farming lands. These men will
find in the exposition an aid to
them in discovering what they de-
sire to know Of course Georgia,
the home of the exposition, will be
mostly benefited. But the good
will not be confined TO that state.
Florida and other Southern states
will come in for their share. Thous-
ands of these people will extend
their trip to our sunny state. They

portunity to be had by investing in

opposing prohibition and favoring
saloons operated within certain rea-

TO be fully alive to the question, and
wishing to conduct its side of the
issue on the broad plan and having
this point in view, invites cores ,)on-
dence from all reliable parties on the
subject from both sides. Contribu-
tioDs must reach this office no late,

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

Last Monday night the Board Of
Trustees held meeting to select
teachers for the next session Of th,
public schools with the following re-
suits: Prof. Eagan was reappolntet
principal Of the graded school for
white children, with Miss Pear
Montgomery, Of Canton. as assis
tant, and Mies Maggie Graham, OF
Bay ST. Louis, as second assistant.
Miss Lena Driver was an appli-
cant for reappointment to the posi-
tion Of second assistant, held by her
for two consecutive sessions and the
ability with which che discharged
the very tedious duties of that posi-
ton was shown by the generosity
Of 80 out Of 43 of the patrons OF her
class. Her credentials were the
best presented before the board and
the patrons, those only directly. In
terested in the case, are at loss TO
know why their petition was totally
ignored, they being pleased with
Miss l.. Driver as the instructress Of
their children should have been sat-
isfed and their demand upon the
board complied with, unless good
reasons, IL any exist, of which the
patrons are ignorant can be given
for not having reappointed the young
lady.
We are further informed that Miss
Maggie Graham, talented young
lady, daughter Of one of our esteem
ed citizens Capt. Graham, was the
fortunate appointee as second asis-
tant. The choice was q good one
among the many applicants and Miss
Graham's abilities as an instructress
are so well known that we predict
general satisfaction will be the result
at tho close Of the coming session.
Mrs! Z. F. Ross was appointed
principal Of the colored public school,
she can well be called the mother o I
colored schools Of this city and is one
OF our ablest teachers, she IS to be
assisted by her daughter Miss Beat
rlx and Miss Leila Matinee.
With the above array Of talented
teachers we are confident that the
advancement of public education In
Bay st. Louis will be continued.
