CLOSE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.
Col. Henry's Democracy is Being
ASsailed by His Opponents.

Assailed by His Opponents.
Jackson. Miss, Sept. 1O.-The with
drawal of Congressman Spencer from
the congressional race has not Simpli-
fed matters in the Seventh district to
any appreciate extent. Both Hooker
and Henry men claim Spencer's vote
will 90 their way. but if all thrown to
one, an impOSSibility, nothing decisive
would be done. Hooker, Henry and
Rowan are still in the race, but the
latter is not seriously considered and
the contest is really between the first
mentioned with chances in favor of
Hooker. Henry'S Democracy having
been aSSailed, he is put on the defen-
Sive and cannot deny that he opposed
the Democratic ticket in Rankin cOun-
ty few years ago. He calls that a
family row" and says the Ratchet
has long since been buried. which is
true, as TO his own county. but the
moment he got away from home his
record was sprung on him and it is
one of the excuses. The outlook is
that the campaign is going to be the
warmeSt ever experienced in the
state Major Henry is backed by the
governor of the state. a lifelong
friend, and that fact gives him n big
boost, according to his supporters, but
the opposition say otherwise, and a
battle of ballots on September &c will
be necessary to decide.

Theatrical Managers Today.

A vast and disproportionate army of theatrical managers, men whose dal ling desire it is to see their names in by 4 letters and their faces ill five colors on the advertising boards, has sprung up by the opportunity afforded for the ex- ercise of the art of getting something for nothing. By imperceptible degrees the position of the actor has been en- tirely changed. Once he was a person who possessed certain power and was entitled to a certain consideration. He knew how to act and what was neces- sary toward the making of good play. His opinion was deferred to and his judgment sought. The commercial pros perity of the old time "agent" has, however, made that member arrogant in these regards, and he now no longer defers to the experience of the man who plays. The latter must conform his conduct to the direction of the box office man, and much and great is the dissatis- faction resulting from this reversal of function. Not the least important of the dissatisfied parties is the public. It sees, without knowing why, that there is something wrong with both actor and play, and it naturally blames the actor. He is the one responsible to it. No agent can represent the actor in his work.
 If the actor is blameworthy for help ing to break down the rational organi- zation of the theater, the manager is equally so for thrusting himself into the actor's place and presuming to dictate how and what plays shall be performed. Does it not always happen that the pleasing power of any given play or set of plays is referred solely to the actors, and do they not eventually become the actual controllers of the theater, no matter how assiduously the agent of their work tries to keep his name in print as the head of "my theater" or of "my company ?''-Forum.

LEANING TOWER IN RUINS.
For One Day This 225-Foot Steel Shaft
 Assembled Pisa's Pride.

For One Day This 225-Foot Steel Shaft
 Assembled Pisa's Pride.
 The last vestige of the great midwin- ter fair at San Francisco was removed recently when the tall tower on which the great searchlight was placed was pulled down after several days of hard labor. Dynamite was tried ou the foundations at first without success. Enormous cables wound on windlasses were attached to the framework and pulled, while twelve blasts were fired in the four ten-foot cubes of cement that formed the foundation stones. With all that energy the tower only leaned a little to one side, and for thirty-six hours San Francisco had a leaning tower of Pisa. The number of blasts was doubled, more cables were attached, and at last in one long, grand pull, aided by twenty-four laundering explosions, the 225 foot shaft of steel tOppled slowly over, bent and twisted into fantastic shapes. The iron was then broken up for junk.
 The electric tower was a white ele- plant to the men who invested money in it. It did not come anywhere near paying for it's construction. The con- pany became involved in financial dif1i- culties, it is said, and when the mana gers learned that it would cost more to take the thing down than it would bring chopped into pieces they decided

Imitation FurA

After the furrier, chemist and dyer have got through with the rabbit skin it may be a sealskin, sable, an otter, Siberian squirrel mink, marten, beaver or any other fashionable fur. The transformation takes place in the shops which sell felt to hatmakers, car pet weavers and felt manufacturers, and Paris and London are the principal centers for this industry. In those cities millions of rabbit skins are dressed and treated, and the bogus furs are sent out to robe men and women of all parts of the world.
 Rabbit skins are not the only belts which are transformed into furs that bear the names of animals living in ice and snow. Monkeys from Africa and South America send their skins to the furrier to be made into fine raiment. Cats are skinned to supply the demand for sealskins and beaver. The shaggy curls of the Newfoundland dog are made into buffalo robes, and the skins of fox tailed squirrels are sold as limitations of rare furs.
 The United States buys more imita- tion furs than any other country, and millions of them are sent to China to line the mantles and robes of mandarins. Large numbers of rabbit and cat skins are treated and dyed in this country, but the French furrier has the credit of producing the best limitations.
 The furrier's trade is not healthy one, for the dust and short hairs which are beaten out of the skins fill the lungs and thus shorten the lives of many workmen. This is not the case, how ever, with American furriers. for ma chinery and improved appliances used in this country and better ventilation serve to keep the air of the workshops comparatively free from the injurious dust. In making fur clothing many skins are sewed together, and the workman not only must have the skill necessary to conceal the seams, but must be able to perfectly match the several skins.-Chicago Record.

D., of Dartmouth College, the discov- erer of Paine's celery compound. has studied the nerves in health and disease, when well nourished and when under-nourished, in men and women and children years before he looked for the remedy. Paine's celery compound was the outcome of his entire professional life. A fitting memorial to a life of hard study and close observation - remedy that the world could not lose to-day, at any price.
 Take advantage of the remarkable power of this greatest of all remedies for restoring vigor to the blood and strength to the nervous system In these first days of spring one has every chance for getting well. Don't neglect 1t.
 Paine's celery compound calms and equalizes all the nervous tissues and induces the body to take on solid flesh. It purifes the blood, as Is so clearly shown by the rapid clearing of the skin of all evidences of bad humors within. It is an infallible relief for salt rheum eczema and all blood diseases.
 Physicians recognize Paine's celery compound as the one scientific spring remedy, and it is universally prescribed by them wherever there is great need of a vigorous and prompt restoring of health and strength to the worn out system.

English In French Canada.

There is a Canadian dialect of French, usually called the French. Canadian pa- tois by patronizing people who know little or no French, though such author ities as Mir. Ferchette and Mir. Will liam Maclennan declare, believe, that it is much purer French than is spoken by the common people" in France. But when you reflect on the so called French Canadian dialect of English you will perceive that it is not dialect, but simply broken English, varying as to correctness according to the acquaint- ance of the individual with language which is not his mother tongue.
 A dialect of English such as the Scotch or Irish or Yankee or that of the Tennes see monntaineers is, take it, some we'll established form of the language con- mon to a multitude of people bred sim ilarly and mostly living in one district, It is local language, varied little in its usage by those nurtured in it. But French Canadian English varies with almost every user. Its degrees of cor rectness range between the exquisite lit erary English slightly modulated by French to1es that is spoken by such fin ished orators as Mr. Laurier or MT. Chapleau and the scarcely intelligible English of habitant beginning to prac- tice in the foreign tongue. Here is no local fixed form of English; here is no dialect; here is nothing but great va- riety of cases of broken English in some of which the language is spoken with perfect facility. What the story writer in or the reporter of French Canadian English must do is to choose the case that he will represent or report, and his choice will of course be determined by the literary purpose that he entertains.
