IN The FAR EAST.

While we are absorbed in the in.
deEest Of our own affairs, the won.
( terful performance of the parti.
tloning of China among the great
nation of Europe goes steadily on.
The Literary Digest says:
The Chinese complain bitterly
that they have haydly a port left
for their new feet, and certainly
no fortified one. For, while the
port Germany has acquired is an
almost bare spot, which will not
be valuable until work has made
it SO, Russia has leased Port
Arthur, China's best naval station.
and now England has obtained the
right to lease Wei-hai-Wei. an
other naval port with arsenals.
docks, forts, etc. 1t is reported
that Japan, whose troops are now
at Wei-hai- Wei, will turn the
place over to the Eglsh as soon
as China has paid the rest of
the war indemnity. On the whole.
the English are satisfied, although
they protest that they have never
taken territory this way before, |
and blame the Germans, whose
greed for foreign possessions has
endangered China's existence, for
'orrupting-English morals.

Father Quito, who purchased
the Bagley property on Walnut
street, between Main and Central
Avenue, is erecting upon 1t three
very substantial brick storehouses,
which will be ready for occupancy
long before the fall trade opens.
Walnut street is one Of the busiest

Who Mr.. lack Comfy is.

I'VE clip the following from {
recent issue of the New York
Herald
"The Presidential recruiting of
flee was kept busy the greater par
Of the day. The recruits, howey'
er, who presented themselves IN
Iperson or by proxy in almost every
instance were in search of officer :
commissions, The President heard
very little from those who wish to
volunteer for duty in the ranks.
One of the conspicuous exceptions
was made by Gen. Catchings, of
Mississippi, who informed the
President that a company of
trough riders from Nicksburg
and vicinity, under the leadership
Of Jack Comfy, famous IN those
parts, are anxious to 90 to Cuba
with the regiment of which Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be lieutenant
colonel
This confirms the old saying
that one must 90 away from home
to hear the news. We have met
no one here who knows Mr.. Jack
Comfy or his rough riders. Indeed
most people seem to think they
are somewhat like Falstaf1's men
in buckram. As for Catchings
taking any interest in the war,
this is the first intimation of it.
Most well informed persons here
abouts think he is chiefly con
cerned as to how he will save his
political scalp"
The above, from the Vicksburg |
Dispatch, is Il ridiculous blunder
very similar to the one by which |
that paper stultifed itself in re-
gard to Mr.. Catchings' vote on the
LaImack-Patterson contest. The
freenyille Democrat was deceived |
by the assertion of the Dispatch
IN that occasion into reproducing
md commenting upon it; but the
Democrat, on ascertaining its mis-
axe, had the manliness to acknowl-
,dge the injustice to Mr.. Catch
ngs and withdraw its comment
Not so with the Dispatch. The :
nention of Mr.. Catchings' name J
n any connection is to it as a red |
ag to bull, and plunges it into :
blind, unreasoning fury that I
annot or will not distinguish right L
rom wrong Or truth from false +

MARRIAGE Of MISS Daisy MyrIOk.

Tuesday morning there arrived
in jackson from the little yillag
of Bolton Il smoothfaced, hand
some young man who moved abou
the city with an air of great mys
terry. About 3 o'clock in tn,
afternoon he secured Il marriage
license which authorized any duly
ordained minister of the Gospel t
unite IN the holy bonds of wed
lock Mr.. c. NJ. Farr and Miss
Daisy Belle Myrick, both of Ed
wards.
But the young man was not
satisfied with this. Cor fear that
the announcement light be made
in the afternoon T pers he had
Deputy Clerk Bror to conceal
the marriage record, thinking
thereby to evade the vigilance OF
the newspaper frate lity.
A cross fire of questions were
put to the young ma but he re-
fused to confess. Only one course
was left and that was to watch
him.
When the A. az. train pulled
up at the depot the young man
sprang to the steps and greeted
a party who were alighting from
the middle coach. Joy beamed on
every line of his countenance.
The young man was surely going
to get married.
The party then repaired to the
Edwards House and registered.
The young man proved to be Mr..
c. NJ. Farr, head book Deeper for
VIM. Castarphen, the well-known
Bolton merchant, while the young
lady was Miss Daisy Belle My
rick, one of Bottoms leading So
,iety ladies. The party were ac-
'ompanied by Mrs. Belle Knapp
md Mrs. w. T. Henry, also of
Bolton, while the officiating minis
er, Rev. c. p. Colmery, of Ed
wards, brought up the rear.
1t looked like an elopement, but
t wasn't. The ceremony which
United Mr.. Farr and Miss Myrick
vas performed in the psrlor at the
edwards House at $3.50 o'clock in
