Democracy Of the State Of Mississippi
athered together in convention at the
Iae capital On Wednesday, April %,
1903, held a harmonious session
throughout, transacted its business In
business.like way, and adjourned
ins die In the afternoon.
Hon. c. N. Williamson, chairman OF
Vie Democratic State Executive Com
nittee, called the convention to order
Ill30 o'clock, and announced Hor. h.
l. Muldrow, Of Oktibbeha county, as
The temporary chairman. In organiz'
lhg the convention Col. Muldrow de-
clared there should be no uncertainty
y TO the declaration Of the party
Mississippi was the rightful leader 'of
the Democratic party Of the nation.
No State had q better right to urge Its
principles before the Convention at
Chicago. She should declare to day
Tor tariff for revenue only, and for free
coinage Of silver. It was q regrettable
net that the Democracy was divided
% this paramount question Of money;
the convention should send free silver
men only to the Chicago convention,

nine'tenths Of the Democrats Of Mis-
'i'sippi.

to scare them into doing what ls right ana

not want the public at large to know it.

"Buu you can rest assured that we will
not stop warning them OF their danger OF

GUARDSMEN WERE RIGHT.
They Are Voluntarily Offered the
Rebate That Was Agreed
Upon.
The Southern Pacific Company Not
Anxious to Be Sued for Big
Damages.

The Southern Pacific Company has de-
cided that rather than face the alternative
Of answering seventy-five suits which
members of the National Guard threaten
to bring because of the treatment received
on the occasion of their recent visit to the
State shoot at Sacramento 1t will return
the amounts paid by the guardsmen in
excess of the $4 Is agreed upon as the
round-t rip fare.
As the time for the State shoot ap-
preached the company was asked to make
a rebate in view of the fact that it was a
State affair and large number of guards
men would attend. An agreement was
reached by which the company promised
to give rebate equal to two-thirds of the
return fare. This would bring the return
fare to IS cents for each man from San
Francisco and make the total fare 81 Is.
In order to prevent, as the company
claimed, residents of Sacramento then in
this City from taking advantage of the re-
bate and getting to their homes for 81 TO-
the company exacted So 80 for the going
trip from each of the guardsmen, giving
each receipt for that amount and an
agreement to sell a return-trip ticket for
the one-third rate on certificate from the
inspector-generai of rife practice tnat the
holder had been in attendance at the
shoot.
In spite of these facts and the further
fact that the certificates mentioned were
made out in due form the agent at Sacra.
mento refused to deliver any tickets un-
less full fare was paid, and the San Fran
cisco boys were compelled to produce 50 so
each or $5 80 In all for the round trip.
Those from distant points were also COM
PEELED to pay full fare.
The guardsmen considered this an i'm
position and decided that unless the COM
pany refunded the money paid in excess
of the amount agreed upon they would
sue for the excess and also for damages.
These matters came to the ears of Gen
eral Passenger Agent Goodman few days
ago and be promptly began an investiga-
Uion that resulted yesterday in the guards
men being notified that if they would pre-
sent their receipts for the money paid the
agents at San Francisco and Sacramento
the amount in excess OF $4 Is would be
refunded to them.
The Sacramento agent is blamed for not
carrying out the agreement printed on the
back of the receipts.

the American Bank and Trust Company
and several other similar institutions are
suing the Sherwood estate to set aside GER
tain deeds made by Henry Hamilton Sher-
wood to William r. Sherwood, on the
ground of fraud.
Sherwood filed petition in insolvency
in November, 1898, in which he alleged
that he owed something like $4,000. and
he had but $500 worth of property to
secure his debts. He had just succeeded
to legacy of S150,0O0 his share of his
fathers estate, so the creditors hunted
around to find why it was his property had
disappeared so fast.
They found that on March 10, 1895. the
day before the will was filed for probate,
Henry Sherwood had decided to his
brother, William R. Sherwood, all his in
terest in the property of the estate. Sub
sequently, just before he filed his petition
in insolvency, he filed a deed of similar
import 1t is these two deeds that the
plaintiffs want set aside.
The complaint charges that the deeds
were made to fraudulently escape from
the payments of his debts. The claims
represented in the suit are the London,

Henarie, $500; Josephine E. Bruguiere.

one and half to two years.
"One Chinese patient in the twenty

ulcers and disappearance OF the itching,

such good results have been reached in
that one am inclined to believe that the
remedy would help these materially.
1.-The cost of the full treatment for all
the lepers would be about $500. But there
Is no fund from which this money can be
had, and it would be impossible for the
Health Department to expend that sum at
present.
Almost everything has been tried at
the hospital that has been suggested to the
medical profession since the institution
was established, but without other results
than that of mere palliative of tempo
rary nature. On account OF the utter
hopelessness and horror of the disease it
would be wise thing to try this new rem

The remedy should be administered under
supervision of physician, but should not

alleviate their sufferings."

As to modern music. however, there is
none. How could there be, with those in

music. The only one that could be called

M. Mafsick explained that he was
more interested in the instruments than
in the results the Mongolian players
achieved with them. He, too, intended to

STILL TO REMAIN CHIEF.
Crowley Will Not Retire From
Office for Nearly Three
Years Yet.
INELIGIBLE FOR A PENSION.
1t Has Been Decided That He Must
Serve Twenty Years Con.
tinuously.
INELIGIBLE FOR A PENSION.

Chief of Police Crowley will not retire
and his resignation will accordingly be
withdrawn at the meeting of the Police
Commissioners tonight.
This decision of the Chief has not been
caused by the lust of office, as he Graves
for relief from the cares ana responsible
ties of his position, but because he is a
poor man, and, should he retire now,
would have practically no income on which
to live.
It has been definitely settled that the
Chiefs seven years service by election
cannot be included in the sum total of his
service so as to make him eligible to be
placed on the retired list.
Ex-senator Murphy, who was the father
of the pension act and framed it, called
upon the Chief yesterday afternoon and
regretfully informed him that the intent
and meaning of the act was for twenty
years continuous servica in the depart
ment. AS there was break of six years
between the Chiefs holding office by elec-
ton and by appointment, he yet wants
two years and nine months for his twenty
years continuous service.
There is no doubt" said the Chief, later,
that Senator Murphy is correct. At
lunch to-day prominent Judge spoke to
me to the same effect and told me there
was decision in the Supreme Court which
covered the point.
"WeH, must just take off my coat,
literally speaking, and buckle to the work
again for TWO or three years more if / am
spared.
II shall do so the more readily owing to
the kindly and fattering way i'll which
the press has spoken of my past services
and other tokens of appreciation that I
have received

"Was there any discernible tune in their
music?" was asked.
"Oh, yes. There was an air, often re-
peated, that ran through it continuously"
And what was that?"
The noted vlolinist paused for a mo-

he sang the air of the Chinese music as it

"How can there be ?' he asked in return.

he thinks it is not. He does not hesitate
to assert that such is the case. What is
more, he declares that there is absolutely

Opening of the Examination Before the

Building.

The trial of Lieutenant Daniels began
before the court-martial in the Federal
building yesterday afternoon. Lieutenant
Reynolds acted as Judge Advocate and
Lieutenant Ross appeared for the ac-
cused Off Ger of the Revenue cutter. 1t is
asserted that very weak case was made
out against the young lieutenant and
there is general belief that he will be ac-
quilted.
Among the charges preferred against
Daniels was one of nervous disorder"
This was to be inferred as a mental de-
raugement, but DR.. Blue was called and
testified that he had examined Daniels and
did not find him suffering from any mental
disorder at the time specified.
