Refugees Want to Return.

Some of ,Jackson's business men are
becoming FESTIVE on account of the pro-
longed period of business inactivity,
and a concerted move is to be made to
try to secure the modification of the
present strict quarantine to the extent
of admitting to that city parties from
the interior known to have never been
exposed to infection, and who wish to
bring their produce there and trade.
Continued immunity from infection and
the fact that cooler weather is expected
soon, together with reports that cotton
and produce from ,JackSon's territory,
unable to get in there, is now going to
the smaller towns. are all contributing
influences to this move. a meeting of
citizens is to be called and the matter
discussed, and then some plan of action
decided upon. 1t is not very probable,
however, that the health authorities
will very readily consent to any modifi-
cation of their rules. They feel that the
fever has been kept out only by the
rigid quarantine maintained, and are
not disposed to let up on it until all
danger is passed.

MONEY ORDERS.
The Post once Department Favors Estab-
IishIng Many Offices.

WASHINGTON, Oct 9.-The post Office
department has adopted a policy of
general extension of the money order
system. First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath believes that any post
office wanting money order facilities
should be given them. Complaints
have been constantly filed by business
houses that their correspondents at
villages are unable to send money or
ders because their post offices have no
such facilities. During the past fiscal
year almost 27,0OO,OOO money orders
were issued, amounting to a little less
than 5000, 600, 900. The international
money orders issued during the year,
purchased principally by workmen
sending money to friends or relatives
in foreign countries, amounted to sl5,-
600, 900, while the amounts drawn on
the United States by foreign countries
did not exceed $1,000, 900. The total
number of money order offices now in
operation is about $4,000, and the num-
Der probably will be increased to 3d.
900 before the next fiscal year.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
A Hopeful View.

Under the caption of the Business
Outlook" the Meridian Post takes the
following hopeful view OF the situations:
"The prevailing low price of cotton and
the discouraging outlook for any mate
rial improvement has depressing in
fluence upon enterprise of every char
acter in the South, and does much to
retard that restoration of confidence so
essential to a healthy business situation,
the promised prosperity is checked in
its coming and its march viii not be as
rapid as at first anticipated. Barring
the yellow fever embargo on trade,
however, Mississippi ought to enjoy q
better business season than for several
years past: debts have decreased, the
| farmers have lived more at home, the
corn crop is good and the cotton yield
| better than usual; moreover, a splendid
picking season has prevailed and the
crop will be gathered earlier and in
better condition than usual. These
| things will go far to diminish the hard
ship of low prices, and while individual
disappointment will everywhere pre-
vail, we have reason to hope for a
greater abundance of money in circula-
ton and less acute pressure of the
hard times that have borne so severely
! on this State and city during the past
few years. We look upon the present
suspension of business as only tenn
porary evil, which will disappear after
the first killing frost, and losses now
| sustained will then be made up by q
greater activity in every line of trade,
because sooner or later each market
must supply its own, as all are alike
| quarantined in this State and labama.'

a GIGANTIC SYSTEM.
New Union Pacific VIII Represent the
Greatest Railway Mileage.

wAsuISGToN, Oct 9.-When the
Union Pacific reorganization is com
plete it viii represent the largest caPi-
talization and a greater mileage than
any other railroad system in the United
States. The capitalization will be
upon a sufficiently broad basis to pro-
vide for the taking back of substan-
TALLY all the branches and feeders that
comprised the Union Pacific system as
1t was in its full glc-y. This means a
great amount of money. The 1,sO0
miles of rails which will be sold on
the last day of November in Omaha
represent in mortgage indebtedness of
one sort or another about Sl25, 0O0,-
900. Then there is the debt on the
branches and feeders, to say nothing
of capital stock of the various corpora
tions. The newly reorganized and re-
constructed company will start in bust
ness, it is understood, on a basis of
5000, 900. 900. When rehabilitated and
souarely on its feet the new Union Pa
cific Railroad company will stand as the
greatest achievement in American rail-
road reconstruction even than
the Northern Pacific or the Southern
Pacific railways.

During the past week the tempera-

cipitation was deficient, there being nc
rainfall over the entire State. The
prolonged drOuth has seriously injured
all crops, and late crops have been cut
short and ruined thereby in many Sec
tions. Cotton is opening rapidly and
being picked, ginned and marketed as
fast AS possible. Fall gardens are II

weather has been favorable for gather
ing all crops. Water is scarce for all

DOGS OF CONSTANTINoPLE.
The Turks Think Them UncIcnn, Hut
SIN Treat Them Kindly.

SIN Treat Them Kindly.
The reason why there are so few
dogs who have homes and masters is
not hard to find. 1t is because the Turks
| have a queer idea-it is part of their
| queer religion-that dogs are such I'M
clean animals that they must never
be allowed to enter.a house. On the
street, however, they feed them and
even pet them; and when a man knows
| that he has done something wrong he
will often try to make up for it by
feeding all the dogs he can find. Some
times when rich Turks die they leave
sums of money to be spent in feeding
the street dogs, just as iu America peo
| pie leave money to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The
Turks never strike or hurt dog; so if
as sometimes happens in CONSTANT
nople, you see man kicking or beat
ing some poor, bowling animal, yor
may be very sure that he is a Greek OF
an Armenian. Nor do the Turks ever
kill vagrant dogs, but think it right
to allow them to exist as best they can
So there have come to be in the streets
| of Constantinop,e hundreds and hun
dreds of wolf-like dogs, about the size
of small settlers or pointers, but differ
ent from them in that they have mar
low, long heads, Yellow dogs, blacl
dogs, brown dogs and white dogs. yor
| see them everywhere-on the sidewalks
in the cutters. on the doorsteps, under
the, carriages, in every corner or hole
into which a dog can creep and cur
himself up into round bunch. All day
long they lie huddled up or stretched
out on their sides, fast asleep, no matter
how much noise goes on about them
In the busiest business streets they lie
! by twos and threes in the middle OF
| the sidewalk, where hundreds of pa
ticnt people step over them or &C
around them. and never think of max
| ing them get out of the way. In the
side streets and small squares there are
| often assemblages of 20 or 25 sleeping
| in the greatest peace and harmony un.
til some dog from another street ven,
| lures in, when there is at once great
| deal of barking and sometimes severe
fighting: for even if these dogs have
| no homes, they have certain districts OF
| places which they consider their OWE
| and will permit no one not belonging
| to their particular set to enter. Thus
| the street of butchers in Pera. the incest
quarter of Constantinople, has some
| 90 or more dogs who are always to be
| found there. | saw two dogs lying day
after day in front of one of the great
banks; and one fond mother dog
brought up four puppies in an uncov,

DURING the recent performance of
Damrosch's concerts at Willow Grove
park, near Philadelphia, a consider
able number of people listened to the
music without being obliged to go out
to the park at all. This was accom-
plished by electricians fitting up re-
ceivers in the band shell, connected
by special wire with the telephone
exchange at Philadelphia. Then this
wire was connected with other wires
and the music distributed as freely as
possible. Perhaps 200 people at one
time listened to the concerts by the
orchestra at Willow Grove, nearly Is
niles away
