PRIMARIES IN MISSISSIPPI
Hottest Known Since the Days of
the Red Circular.
Choice ofa Successor to Senator G Gorge
VIII Depend on the Result
Hooker's Fight.
(By United Press J

jackson, Miss, July 2O.-The primary
in this county to-day was the hottest
election experienced since 1880 Then
the famous committee of 100" issued
their red circulars.
The scrambling for votes has been the
= ljveliest ever known among Jackson Demo
Gratis. 1t was mighty struggle for nomi
nations, which are equal to elections
aud evey inch OF ground was hotly con-
tested
The primary was TO select candidates
for county officers, to express choice for
United States Senator to succeed Senator
George and TO select delegates in turn to
the state convention. Kinds county is not
greedy at all, but it SO happens she has
seven candidates for state offices and the
contest has been over these latter The
Senatorship has been lost sight of and
votes for Senator were eagerly traded for
votes to beat constables or magistrates
One half OF the city is pulling for Attorney
General Johnson to give him the single shot
endorsement by the empire county of Kinds
while the other half is fighting that propo-
siton in the interest OF Gen. Power, candi-
date for secretary OF state, and the chances
are about even.
This having been the home of ex Con-
gresham Hooker for forty years. it is
probable he carries the county for United
States Senator, with exception Of Gen.
Lowrey, who is probably second The
order may be reversed no owever, as the
ex Governor is popular with all classes
and has antagoni zed no faction OF the
party
The county precincts have not been
heard from aud nothing definite is known
as TO the Senator or members Of the legis-
lamre Enough has been learned, though,
TO indicate that Gov. Stones, the sound
money candidate, has been showed under

Yesterday Mess Fisher and HALEY
returned from their trip TO Fredericksburg
aud stated they could learn nothing to
lead any one to believe that the missing
young man was, or had been, in that re-
gion They at first had hopes, but a
visit to Carter's Wharf convinced them that
he had not been there.
A fund has already been started by the
friends of the young man, and tomorrow
a reward will be offered, and private de-
tectives put to work.

dinal Gibbons to Cardinal Rampolla, the
Papal secretary of state, declaring false

of his arrival in the United States. the
cardinal says in conclusion. he has been

Comes in Before the Vigi|ant in
a Close Race,
WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED
The 1893 Cha mpion May Yet Get the
Decision on Time Allowance-Offi-
cial Measurements of the Two
Yachts Not Y ct tTaken-CriticsMu Much
Pleased With the New Boat.

New York, July 24.-The Vigilant made
against the Defender, and was beaten on
elapsed time only two minutes and forty
five seconds on thirtymi run. 1t was
a practical victory for the Defender, al
though IT is possible that when both yachts
have been measured the time allowance to
the Vigilant may be sufficient to wipe
out Defenders small advantage
After the race to-day the officials would
not announce that either boat had won,
Defender outSailed Nigilant on the elapsed
time. From the best unofficial measure
ments So far obtainable, however, it is
thought that the time allowance win be
between one and two minutes, that in
al probability Defender has put a victory
TO her credit in her first race, though by
an exceedingly narrow margin. The Of
ficial measurements will probably not be
made public for some time, but the judges
yacht is the winner.
While all the yaChtSmen are congratulate
ing each other that the new American
champion is apparently faster aud better
than the old one, they feel pride, too, in
the fact that the cup defender of 1898 is
still in racing form and able to give De

A CHEERFUL GIVER.
NOVELIST HoWELLs DESCRIBES
HIS TRIBULATIoNS.

Mr. w. ID. Howells has written
for the Century two papers entitled
"Tribulations of Cheerful Giver, "
giving his experience with the beg
ging fraternity. The following is
taken from the first paper:
"Some months ago, as | was
passing through downtown street
on my way to the elevated station,
| saw a man sitting on the steps
of a house. He seemed to be
resting his elbows on his knees
and holding out both his hands.
AS / came nearer | perceived that
he had no hands, but only stumps,
where the fingers had been cut off
close to the palms, and that it was
these stumps he was holding out
in the mute appeal which was
his form of begging. Otherwise
he did not ask charity. When
approached him he did not look up,
and when stopped IN front of him
he did not speak. | thought this
rather fine in its way; except
for his mutilation, which the man
really could not help there was
nothing to offend the taste, and his
immobile silence was certainly i'm
pressive.
! decided at once to give him
something, for when am in pres
ence of want or even the appear
ance of want, there is something
that says to me, "Give to him that
asketh," and have to give or else
go away with bad conscience-a
thing | hate. OF course dot not
give much, for | wish to be a good
citizen as we'll as a good c hristian,
and as soon as ] obey that voice
which | cannot disobey ] hear an
other voice reProaching me for
encouraging street beggary, |
have been taught that street beg
gary is wrong, and when | have to
unbutton two coats and go through
three or four pockets before | can
reach the small coin mean to give

well to Bossy, he felt very bitter
indeed towards the unkind fate
which had placed him in such a
position. But true merit wins,
and his companions soon grew to
respect the quiet, self-possessed
lad who was brave enough to risk
public opinion for the sake of an
education.
Five years after the death of the
old squire, at the opening of the
sealed packet, the following words
were revealed: believing that the
best legacy that can be given to a
boy is to turn him adrift on his own
resources, leave my property in
trust for five years. At the end of
that time TO be given in its entirety
to my beloved and only grandson,
Hal, should he have proven him
self worthy OF it,"
Just how worthy he had proven,
the reader already knows, and he
is to-day filling a responsible and
remunerative position in his native
State, thankful indeed that the op-
portunity for proving himself was
given him. Comfort.

Greatest Basket Mart.
WONDERFUL INDUSTRY FOUN-
DED BY A LAZY LAD.
He Became the Great Basket
maker of the World Willow
Weaving Bavarian
Villages.

During the last years of the
eighteenth century man named
Krauss lived in one of the quaint
villages which dot the upper Fran
CONAN Mountains in Bavaria. He
became the great basket-maker of
the world. His father and his
grandfather, and their fathers and
grandfathers, had all been whittlers
of toys after the manner of their
peaceful, home-lovlng countymen
in the neighboring province OF
Thuringia. But young Krauss was
too lazy, so the story goes to help
in the work. His brothers and
sisters made wooden elephants and
camels and wonderful woolly sheep
from morning until night, but the
boy persisted in wandering away
when the day was bright and play
ing on the willow-fringed banks of
the main, which stretched like a
silver thread in the valley below.
One day he came home with
bundle of the straight, supple will
low twigs under his arm, and, hav-
ing stripped away the bark, he
wove them into a mat. The next
day he tried it again, and before
many weeks had passed he had
constructed basket much like
those he had seen IN the market
town of Lichtenfels, few miles
away. His father, his brothers
and sisters laughed at the rude
work, but young Krauss labored
on year in and year out, bringing
up all the willow twigs he needed
on his back from the river below.
After a time the farmers began to
buy his baskets, and then, one day
he ventured to take some of them
to the fair in Lichtenfels, and al
most as soon as he exhibited them
they were all purchased and peo-
pie began to ask where they could
get more.
Then Krauss went back to his
home and hired some OF the farm
ers whose barren pieces of land on
the mountain side earned them but
a scanty living. Inside of a year
the demand for the goods was so
great that half the people of the
village were busily weaving baskets
under the instruction of the once
lazy Krauss. To-day more than
Io, 900 men, women ana children
of that region are kept at work
plating willow twigs, straw, palm
leaves and Lichteniels is the great
est basket market OF the world,
its product being sent to the ends
Of the earth.

A Man WITH IDEAS.

What good thing it IS to meet
man with ideas, fresh ideas, just
thought up, about running gov
ernmts, newspapers, railroads,
great corporations, churches, un-
dertaking establishments and
smaller enterprises.
One of these men, or man, oi
this description-@l don't know that
there are others-was talking in
the smoking groom of a Pullman
the other day, His name was
Hankinson, plain Hankinson, and
| felt sorry when | learned that he
was wasting his genus travelling
for a soap factory, and for the
miserable pittance OF SIoo a
month.
Eyes, sir" he said, "this coun-
try's all wrong. all wrong, The
trouble is lack of brains. What
this country needs is brains, lust
a reasonable amount of brains
would save the country. Yes, sir,
you'd be surprised at the small
quantity of brains needed to do
the work.
"Ihis money questions plain
enough to me. Money amt so
good unless people'll take it. Make
all the money you want, silver and
gold, run the old money mill day
and night and turn it out by the
car load, and then if the people
don't want it they can pour it back

and make picture frames out OF it,
