Du Mnurier,s Trick.

When Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett
was first presented to Du Maurier, who
was, in point of fact, rather an understood
man, she exclaimed, says the American
Queen
''Oh, am so glad that you are not six
feet tall"
But, why?" asked Du Maurier.
Because for these many months" re-
piled Mrs. Burnett who is considera blv
below medium hight, you have simply
denied US the right to live; you have made

Too Many Murderers Escaping.

In 1896 there we're 1862 murders COM
mitted in the United States, but there
we're only 122 legal executions. Only one
murderer in eighty-seven paid the penalty
for his crime. With such a great dispar-
ity between crime and its punishment is
1t any wonder that the public took VEN
geance into its own hands and lyncned in
the same year 1S1 persons? There is no
excuse for mob law. 1t is better to en-
dure many miscarriages of justice than to
permit mob under the sway of brutal

SIXTH LEVEE BREAK.
More Water Poured in ON the YazOO
Delta.


JACKSON, Miss, April 21-At ,
o'clock this morning the dreadful
alarm cry Of '1evee broke" was re-
peated for the sixth time in the Yazoo-
mississippi delta, when the huge
elghteen-foot levee at Shipland Land
ing, Issaquena county, suddenly crum-
bled away, letting in, with mighty
rush and roar, the pOnderous torrent
of the great river. Shipland is on Prom
ised Land plantation, about two miles
below Lake Providence, La. AT the
time of the break, backwater from the
upper crevasSes was already against
the leVee ten or twelve inches deep,
and many high places around were
still uncovered. Hope was entertained
that the worst had passed, and thar
the fearful flood had spent it's fury In
the wreck and ruin already wrought
But it was not so.
Many fine plantations, upon which
partial crops might have been made,
must now share the fate of the resC
and in all Of lower Issaquena, Sharkey
and Yazoo counties, where there was
foot Of water before, there will now
be three feet or more. Places which
Rave heretofore been Ravens of refuge
for live stock and human beings, will
row have to be abandoned, and in a
few short days there will scarcely be a
dry spot in all the country south Of
this break and between the levees and
the YaZoo river. Whether there will
be life lost in the region Immediately
affected, depends upon the question
whether the people are provided with
boats. In addition to the disastrous
local consequences, it will also have
the effect Of raising the water in the
Yazoo river and keeping the stream
up at it's mouth to such an extent as
to retard the outflow of flood water
