MARshALL-DINklNs TRAGEDY.


Mississippi has shocked the
country. Last Frid ay morning
at Brandon, Mr.. ]. Dabney Mar
shall, member of the Mississip-
pi Legislature fiom Warren coun-
ty and nominee for foater sena-
tor of Warren and Kinds county,
a writer, poet and lawyer of
ability, in company with two
of his cousins shot and killed
Mr.. r. T. Dinkins, a gentle
man of this State and highly con-
nected. The murder was not com
mitted in a rage of anger or on
the impulse of the moment, but
a cool, deliberate, premeditated
murder. 1t appears the night
previous, both Maishall and DIn-
kins lodged at Raymond IN one
room at one of the hotels in thaG
city and Dinkens the next day and
thereafter persistently circulated
that Marshall du ing the night
made a very indecent and unmen-
tionable attempt, the exact natui G
of which the press would not
publish. 1t further appears
that Marshall, followed by
friends, interviewed Dinkins and
sought retraction which was re-
peatedly refused. The report
widely injured the accused's
standing, and threats of removing
his name from the Democratic
ticket, upon which he was a nom
inee, it is claimed by friends help
considerably to prompt the perpe-
tration of so bastard o murder.
Whether the murderer is gully
of the crime we know not, ald
care not, but we do opine that
there is no punishment too severe
within the broad and wise limits
of the law. If not guilty, the re-
port should not have bothered
the accused, and the very fact of
the murder leads one to accuse
the man guilty. Let us for a mo-
mentsuppose Mr.. Marshall guilty,
to conceal the accused dirty and
degrading crime would it not have
been to the advantage of his NOR
ality's protection to have silenced
the man giving such publicity?
A new development arises by
the resignation of Mr.. Marshall
from the Democratic ticket. He
should not have taken this step,
for if innocent it would have been
consistent to leave matters same
as previous. All the best and
most influential legal talent with
in Mississippian borders have
been employed at a tremendous
cost, one lawyer alone, Mr.. A. j.
McLaurin, nominee for governor,
will, according to the jackson
News, receive a fee of $4,000.
So vast and so brilliant an array
of legal talent and representative
men of the State, will no doubt
have much weight in some ways,
but whether Mr.. Marshall is gull
ty of the charged crime and the
murder crime, the latter alone
justifies extreme punishment not
withstanding the high standing
and splendid education of the
man.
LATER-Since the foregoing
editorial was putt in type, Marshall
and cousins were sentenced to
the penitentiary for life. Missis-
sippi did duty by acting promptly,
another duty now is 10 see that
these murderers remain there.

A FALLEN NERO.

That our sins find us out is ex-
ampfifed in the case of Maurice
j. Hart, New Orleans king cor
ruptionist. For many years this
man had been prospering on the
fat of the land in such remal ka-
bic manner as to arouse suspicion,
but being a sharp, shrewd man,
always succeeded in concealing
his crime from the eyes of the
law.
Through bribery and perjury he
succeeded in bringing the entire
machination of the city govern
ment under his thumb, and did
not hesitate to use this peculiar
advantage for his own pecuniary
end. However, he welded his
strong arm once too much, and
now he stands indicted for nine
different charges, with The prob
ability of following in the wake
of the imprisoned councilmen.

A Polar City.

Numbers of explorers who have
sought the Arctic regions in quest of
the Pole have told Of a mysterious city
mirrored against the northern sky
stately buildings in choice architecture,
tall and imposing spires, but such as
differ from anything we know about
Whether the foundation Of this mirage
is reality and only unacceptable
because of transposition as to direc-
tons, whether it is work Of some
mysterious remnant of our race that
once occupied the Pole, or whether
this is some fanciful feature of the
frost, as the peculiar shrubbery we see
on the window pane-whatever this
is, it must be consigned to the perplex-
ing enigmas Of the unknown region.
Who knows but some spot, once the
theater OF busy and advanced human
life, may have escaped the general
cataclysmal wreck, and this city may
be the silent and as yet undiscovered
witness of pre-polar time, standing
alone in the dead desolation, In the
rigid shroud Of now polar death! II we
must be barred from entering this I'M
discovered country, we may add to our
equipment by careful noting Of its
mirage, and then give to the base of
these phenomena a most thorough
study.

MunicipaI Pawnshops

The movement for state regulation
pawnshops received its great impetus
from Savonarola, who liberated the
Florentines from oppression and gave
them popular institutions. Through
his fundamentally they were estab-
lished in the principal towns Of ITALY,
and spread throughout Europe. The
first mont de piete I'M France was
started at Avignon in 1877, and still ex-
lists. Their establishment in the Meth
erlands dates from the sixteenth csn-
fury. A Spanish priest, Don Fran
cisco Piquer, founded the mont de
piete of Madrid in 1705, starting with
the modest capital of five pence, which
he found in the offertory box he had
placed in the church to receive contri-
buttons for the institution. BY the
end of the seventeenth century there
were monts de piete, formed more or
less after the Italian model, in most
countries of Europe. The character
istics of the original institutions re-
main with those Of to-day, although
they have long since ceased to be under
the influence of the churches. The
main object, which Savonarola and
other early founders had In view-the
protection Of the poor from Insurers
and their relief In periods of distress
Is still maintained, and the monts de
piete in all Latin countries are asso-
ciated with public charities and hospi-

A Dog and His Master.

A dog was once the cause of q rep
resentation of King Lear coming to a
precipitate end. In Garrick's time
dogs were not so vigorously excluded
from theaters as they are now; and on
this particular night there happened to
be fat beadle in his wig, accompanied
by a bulldog, sitting close up against
the stage. The beadle had sat through
four acts and two scenes of the fifth,
but, being more affected by the heat
than by Garrick's acting, had fallen in
to peaceful slumber. The point in
the third scene had been reached when
Lear enters with Cordelia dead in his
arms, and exclaims, "Howl howl, howl,
howl! oh, you are men Of stonew and
so forth. Garrick had deposited the
PROSTATE Cordelia on couch, and was
proceeding with his lament, when the
Duke of Albany was perceived to be
choking with laughter. A moment la
ter the Earl of Kent was similarly af-
fected. At the same time all the by
ISLANDERS began to litter and giggle, and
even King Lear himself stopped in his
speech and was observed to smile.
Meanwhile the dead Cordelia opened
her eyes to see what was happening,
and Immediately was so overcome by
what she saw that she incontinently
rose from her couch and left the stage,
closely followed by the Duke Of Albany
and the Earl of Kent, who were unable
any longer to control their countenan-
ces. Yet all that had happened was
merely this: The bulldog had become
interested in the progress Of the play,
and had got up on his masters chair,
placing his forepaws on the orchestra
rail. There he stood, very gravely and
earnestly watching Garrick. Mean
while the beadle, feeling the heat more
and more, had taken off his wig, and,
still half asleep, had placed 1t on the
nearest support within reach-his dogs
head. The bulldog, quite undisturbed,
continued to concentrate his attention
on King Lear and Cordelia; and it was
the appearance of this canine spectator
in beadle's wig which upset the act
ors ut critical moment and nearly
turned tragedy into comedy.

skeleton in the Closet.

A few days ago the little son of a
well-known physician was entertain
ing a playmate at his fathers house.
As children will, they ransacked every
nook and corner of the building. Their
curiosity led them to explore the re-
cesses OF a closet in which the doctor
keeps his instruments and other per-
sonal effects, among which is COM
plete skeleton. The strange boy was
frightened when he first beheld the
grinning remnant of what once had
been a human being, and started to
run away. The doctors son, however,
had seen the skeleton so often that he
entertained for 1t only that feeling of
contempt forgotten by familiarity, and
I'm a little while succeeded in so allay-
ing the fears Of his companion that the
youngster began to handle the thing
and rattle its dry bones. "Where did
your father get it?" he finally asked.

HOW A TARIFF DEBATE SEEMS.

Senator Stanford's Little Story to IL
Iustrate Its Length.
The late Senator Stanford used to
tell good story to illustrate the weari-
ness felt at the eternal prolongation Of
debate ON the tariff, which is repro
duced by the Washington Star.
"We had" he said, "a Quaker neigh
Dor when L was boy up among the
stony hills of Albany County, New
York, and he kept everything in apple
pie order around his place. His pride
was his stone barn, next to that his
house and other small buildings, and
then his splendid stone walls around
every lot on the farm, which was a
large one. All this stone came off his
place. Every spring his boys were put
to work early with the cattle and the
stone boat, hauling rock either for
fence or for some building. One year
the old fellow decided to build a new
and larger spring house for his milk,
and the boys and cattle went to work
hauling stone for it.
zone day Cephas, the Oldest boy,
came in to say that they'd got stone
enough hauled for the new spring
house.
"The old man put on his hat and went
out to see.

Good trees to start with.

One of the drawbacks to fruit grow
ing is the fact that farmers economic
at the beginning. They buy from tree
peddlero and do not find out that their
trees are of worthless varieties until
they begin to bear, but as several years
will then have been lost the mischief
cannot be repaired, and work must
be done over again. Do not buy trees
from any but known and reliable nur-
serymen, and do not refuse choice trees
because the prices are apparently high.
Be sure of good trees first and then be-

The National Nurseryman suggests
that originators turn their attention
toward the Improvement Of the black
berry and raspberry in the line of re-
duclng the size of the seeds.
A heavy application of ground-bone
will produce excellent results for sew
eral years, for the reason that the bone
gives off its particles slowly, and is not
dissolved for several seasons.
Hot beds for early plants may be
prepared, and the manure put in later.
Save fresh horse manure that is free
from litter, keeping 1t In a cool place,
so that II will not begin to heat until
wanted for use.
Georgia is the largest peach-growing
State In the Union. Her peach crop in

EFects of Creaneries.

The establishment Of creameries has
done much to enlighten the farmers.
They have been compelled to give some
consideration to the breeds of cattle,
to use better implements in the dairy,
and to produce better butter in order
to compete for the highest prices.
Those who patronize the creameries
have lessened their labor, and COM
bined several other pursuits with the
keeping Of good cows. On farms where
formerly only milk and butter were
sold there is now a diversity of crops,
and varied products are shipped to
market.
