PRINCE LOUIS, of Bavaria, created
something of sensation at the great
banquet at Moscow when he declared
that neither he nor any of the other
German princes present was there as a
"memb Der of the suite" of Prince Henry
OF Prussia. None of the German
princes or rulers regards the German
emperor as his suzerain, and Emperor
Willinm's eldest son is only crown
prince of Prussia, and not of Germany.
1t is not impossible that in case OF the
early death of Emperor William the
dignity OF the German emperor might
be confided to some one more capable
than this 14-year-old lad.

THE prejudice against cut flowers in
the sick room is probably groundless
one. Flowers with strong perfume,
like hyacinths, lilies of the valley and
others, might nauseate the patient by
their strong odor, but a few simple
blossoms are cheeting in their effect,
and especially so when the patient is
fond of flowers. Do not allow flowers
to stand more than a day in the same
water unless there is charcoal in it.

WE find that during the last six
years there have been 43,902 homcides
In the United States, an average of
7,Sl7 per year. In the same time there
have been 723 legal executions and
Ills lynchings. These startling fig
ures show that crime is rapidly increas-
ing instead of diminishing In the last
year 10000 persons were killed, or at
the rate of S75 per month, whereas in
1850 there were only 1920, or less than
half as many as in 1895. This bloody
record shows fearful increase of tho
crime which destroys human life.

Sunday Base Ball.

A match game Of base ball was played at
the Park in Biloxi last Sunday between the
Lopez club Of that city and the Scranton
team, the latter including four players from
Moss Point. The attendance was quite large,
and the ladies being tastefully attired, the
scene was most animsting. Owing to a de.
lsyed train, the game Vas not called until
As p. m. and the last inning was played
after twilight. We disclsim any intention to
cast reflections upon the Biloxi contingent,
but the most casual observer could not hare
failed TO notice that the umpiring was any.
thing but impartial. The Biloxi club received
tAs benefit Of the doubt in every close decis.
ion, which, added to the further fact that
Scranton was outplayed, rendered theirs .
hopsless task. The final score was 7 to l, the
visitors NARROWLY escaping q shut.Out, through
Adam Gautier's feetness Of foot. A series Of
three games between the same teams is now
in contemplation, and our local players feel
confident Of winning at least two out Of three.
