A TIGER" IN THE MISSILES.
Exciting Trial of an Illicit Dealer in Whisky at Meridian Bitter
 ness Engendered.

Meridian. Miss. June 6.-(Special)-- Considerable interest was manifested in the trial of J. w. Stanton, one of the blind tigers, an account of whose arrest appeared in these dispatches a few days ago.
 The city court room was crowded to it's utmost capacity, quite a number of per- sons failing to find standing room in the aisles. Much bitterness of feeling has been engendered through these arrests, and the trial of the case today was made conspicuous by what came near being a personal altercation between the oppos- ing counsel. Stanton was tried and con- victed on one charge, the mayor impos- ing a fine of $50, and declaring his place of business a. nuisance and ordering 1t closed.
 There are five other cases pending against Stanton which will be taken up Saturday morning,
 Notwithstanding the fact that a large majority of the people of Meridian are in favor of the suppression of the illicit whisky traffic, it has been impossible to procure convicting evidence against the dealers, so completely do they hedge themselves about with every precaution.
 These recent arrests were procured on- ly through the employment by the city marshal of detective, who ingratiated himself into the confidence of the parties to such an extent as to be able to buy whisky from them.

"CHINEsE" GORDON.
An Englishman Who Does Not Believe Him
 Dead.
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
 Thomas Butler. an Englshman, whose home is in London. but who has just returned from a ten years stay in China, where he has a tea plantation near Shanghai, was a passenger at the union station.
 MT. Butler was a personal friend of General Chinese" Gordon, the famous British hero of the Soudan, with whom he became acquainted in China. A Chronicle-Telegraph reporter engaged the traveller in conversation while he was awaiting the departure of his train In speaking of General Gordon, he said he never felt fully convinced that that fighter had been slain at Khartoum, and thought that he may yet be alive and in captivity.
 There was never any thorough proof evinced that General Gordon was killed at Khartoum, and there are others in England beside myself who entertain the idea that the brave warrior is still alive.
 sThe war in the Orient will do more for China in the way of making it pen etrable to the commerce of other coun- tries than seems to be appreciated either in this country or in England" said MT. Butler Tt has learned the lesson that civilization. has done more for Japan than it has for China, and the Chinese will profit by their experience and open the way to civilizing influences in the wake of which must follow an extension of the very narrow foreign commerce.
 "The Chinese are not the ignorant, slow-going people that they are regard ed in many quarters, as one finds throug h residence among them. Their crafti- ness, shrewdness and appreciation of the conditions surrounding them IS stirring them to efforts toward the attainment of more elevated position among the nations of the world, which desire is ac4 centuated the more they are brought in contact with more civilized nations. The Chinese are progressing now more than they have ever done in their history. They recognized that Japan had been preparing for the war just ended for a tbanoivs dozen years fo or more ore ana got ready by superior conditions"

Two thousand persons witnessed the sport, and the gate re- ceipts were donated to the Ladies' Hos pital funds, by which means this very worthy undertaking secured a handsome contribution
 Quite number of spirited contests oc- cured but those that elicited the great est interest were the following:
 half-mile scratch race-Time, 1:29 J. E. Cozine first, Mayors Watts second. One mile championship race-Time, 9:20; entries. Herbert, Hall, Mayors, Watts, B. r. Hyde, J. F. Cozipe, Colonel Cunningham.

Waynesburg, Pa, June 6.-John Eisin- minger. the third man to be hanged in Green county, was executed this after noon. The trap was sprung at 1924 and in eleven minutes his pulse ceased. The doctors pronounced him dead forty-one minutes from the time he fell. He mur- dered a man named Mccoy. His vic tim's wife and brother witnessed the ex- ecution. The murderer confessed and begged forgiveness of those he had be- reayed. He was probably sincerely pen- itent. There was nothing theatrical or spectacular in his professions or in his manner.

 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly an- nounced through the columns of the Her aid that he would treat only special class of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieye with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.

 No specialist in the south is more fa- miliar with the treatment of private troubles than Dr. Y. E. Holloway. Dur ing his long residence in this city he has successfully treated many thousands of pa- tients suffering with private troubles of every conceivable form.
