House.


Jackson, May l4-This has been lively day in
both branches of the legislature. In the senate
Judge Mays, who is the law professor of Mill
saps college, and Prof &. ID. Shands, who is law
professor of the University, measured lances
over the bill giving Millsaps college the right to
issue law licenses to graduates, such as Is now
only enjoyed By the University. IN the house
the principal question considered was the capi-
tOl bill The house adopted bill which 1t sent
to the senate. That body amended it In several
important particulars. The principal differ
enceS are that the house wanted the Weathers
plan, III, present site, and that the two houses
jointly should elect the commissioners to build
the capitol one from each supreme court dis
trict. The senate amended In various partlcu-
lars, the three principal amendments being the
substitution of the Gordon plan, the penlten
tlary site, and that each body should elect one
commissioner and the two jointly the third one
all three without regard TO location. The bill
came back to the house this morning, and II IN
sisted on the original bill In all particulars ex-
cept that 1t adopted the senate amendment as Ia
the manner of eecting commissioners.
1t insisted on the retention OF the Weather'
plan by vote of 81 to 49, giving that plan a ma
jorty of 50. When the bill was originally con-
sidered by the house the Weathers plan only
had a majority OF 20.

Congress Asked to Grant Relief
to Americans in Cuba.
The Senate Acts Promptly. Adopting q
Resolution without Division Maxi
Ing the Appropriation Side
Tracked In the House.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Thc president
yesterday sent the following message
to congress:
To the Senate and House Of Representa- Tres Of
The United States;
Official information from our consuls
in Cuba establishes the fact that a
large number of American citizens in
the island are in a state of destitution,
suffering for want of food and medi-
cines. This applies particularly to the
rural districts of the central and east
ern provinces.
The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the near
est towns, where they are without
work or money.
The local authorities OF the several
towns, however kindly disposed, are
unable to relieve the needs of their
own people, and are altogether power.
less to help our citizens.
The latest report of Consul-General
Lee estimates that from six to eight
hundred Americans are without means
of support | have assured him th at
provision would be made at once to
releave them. To that end | recon.
mend that congress make an appro,
priation of not less than $4,000, to be
Immediately available for use under
the direction of the secretary of state.
1t is desirable that any sum which
may be appropriated by congress
should, in the discretion of the sccrc
tary of state, be used for the transpor
tation of American citizens who, desir.
ing to return to the United States are
without means to do so.

efIicaclous, they say. These warm
baths may last with safety a quarter
of an hour, followed by a cold shower
bath. This treatment two or three
times a week will put the body i'm
healthy condition and give the skin
delightful appearance and soft touch.
The baths are all prepared in the same
way. Rose leaves, crushed violets,
hay violets, oat straw and pine sprigs
can all be used. The flowers chosen
should be put in q bag and boiling
water poured over, the bag and water
boiling for ten minutes. The boil
ing water is then cooled and
added to the prepared bath. Hay
flowers are really the remains of
stalks, leaves, blossoms and seeds,
even the hay itself. An oat
straw bath is made by boiling the
stalks and heads of oats for half an
hour N kettle and then pouring the
decoration into the bathtub.
For the pine sprig bath gather fresh
twigs, small branches and small cones,
cut into bits, put in a bag and boil half
an hour. The chief effect of this bath
on the skin is to bring it into activity
and renovate it at once Besides, its
fragrance makes it delightful.

MAN HUNTING DOGS.
TWO BLOOD HOUNDS THAT ARE FA-
NOUS DETECTIVES.

They Are of Royal Lineage, and WIN Trail
Criminal Attempting to Escape on Foot
or Observation-Disclosures Unerring Instinct
and Marvellous Powers of Smell.
Frank Morris, marshal of Midwife,
Ga, and one of the best-known officers
In that section of the State, is the pos
SCISSOR of two of the finest man-hunting
bloodhounds in the South-"Jude" and
Blue"
These dogs are of the blood royal
and will trail a man on foot or on
horseback, and when a criminal resists
and shows fight they will tear him
down as quickly as if they were tigers.
Jude is a daughter of another IA
nous hound that was mixed up in
many long chase. She is white, with
colored patch on her back, while
Blue is of the color which his name in
dicates. Both are about eighteen
months old and are perfect specimens
of the breed of bloodhounds that has
become worldfamous.
When Joe Sprinz was murdered at
Midwife Marshal Morris and his dogs
were called into service, but when the
dogs were led through the building
where the dead man lay Blue smelled
of his head, which killed his powers
of tracking the murderer for the bal
ance of the day, as it always does in
such cases.
In addition to that there had been a
big crowd of people gathered around
the scene of the killing, so that the
tracks were confused and 1t was impos-
sible for the dogs to strike the trail
In December last the residence of Mr..
Drew, of Midwife, was burned and the
proprietor and his family narrowly es.
capped with their lives. Marshal Morris
carried his puppies, for they were only
about six months old then, to the spot
and they struck a trail and followed it
to a Negroes house some distance away.
The negro was arrested, and his
tracks, when compared with those
found near the burned building, coin
cided exactly, and the shoes that he
had on were run down at the heel in
the same manner indicated in the
tracks. The circumstantial evidence
was very strong, but owing to the grav-
ity of the crime Mr.. Drew was unwill-
ing to jeOpardize the life of the pris-
oner on such circumstantial evidence
and he was released.
Several years ago one of the same
breed was stabbed to death by a trusty
at the county convict camp near At
lanta. Captain Donaldson had the dog
at the camp. and when the trusty es-
capped the dog was put on his trail.
The faithful hound took the track
and followed it until he came up with
the convict, when a terrific encounter
took place. The animal was true grit,
but the negro had possessed himself of
