A QUARANTINE EPISODE.
Biloxi Review.

Biloxi Review.
Considerable excitement was Great.
ed in this city Sunday when it became
known that DR.. II. NJ. Folkes had
come into this city from McHenry in
direct c0%ntravention to the ordinance
that had been passed by the council.
prescribing quarantine against that
town. The mayor was sought by citi.
zens about the matter, who directed
the arrest OF DR.. Folkes, which was
effected, but there the matter dropp.
ed. When it became known that Che
law was going to become a.dead let,
ter, several representative citizens
took the matter in hand, and an
AFFIDAVIT IA made against DR.. Folkes
before Recorder Gleason. When the
issue was made in trial the doctor plead
a higher law than that Of the city
council, under which he acted, but the
recorder very wisely decided it was not
his province to decide the constitu.
tiOnality of law, but to enforce the
city ordinances and adjudged the gen.
tlcman to pay a fine of $40 and costs.
An appeal was taken to circuit court.
Mr.. George Bohn was arraigned on the
same cause, and on it being shown
that there was no officer at the line to
stop him, and that he had come In
under the impression that the quar-.
antine had been revoked, the recorder
let him off upon payment Of a fine of
$l and costs. Some have endeavored
to make capital out Of this incident
as being Of a personal character. This
Is an error-it was simply a determi-
nation to have the law enforced.

At the frequent request Of a num-
Der of your subscribers to contribute q
weekly communication to your val.
liable paper and as items are a scarce
article at Hurley, your correspondent
has to be ever on the alert to secure
something Of interest. So on the
evening Of the 18th inst, your cores.
pendent was fortunate in securing a
pleasant item, he having received an
invitation to be present at the nuptials
Of two of Big Points most interesting
young people, The contracting parties
being Mr.. W. G. Mizellc, postmaster
at Hurley, and Miss Eta Jones, third
daughter of Mr.. a. f. Jones, one of
Jackson's oldest and most respected
citizens. Promptly at the appointed
hour the bridal couple entered the par
Tor. preceded by their attendants, Mr..
E. Mizelle, brother of the groom, and
Miss Elnar Jones, sister OF the bride,
and Mr.. NJ. E. Jones, brother of the
bride, and Miss Belle Mizclle, sister o!
the groom. The bridal couple ad.
vanced to the center of the room,
where suspended from the ceiling,
were two hearts under which the
bride and groom took their position.
The words that made them man and
wife were pronounced by Magistrate
Frank Golf, who spoke in a very i'm.
pressive and pleasant style. After
receiving the congratulations of mum.
erous relatives and friends, the com
pany were invited to the supper room
where a very pretty collation. was serv.
ed, the table being prettily decorated
by loving hands in honor of the &C.
casion. The bride was becomingly at.
tired in a white Henrietta Cloth made
walking skirt, trimmed with cream
ribbons and bears, she also wore the
usual wreath of orange blossoms and
looked very pretty. The bridesmaids
were arrayed also In white to cores
pond with the brides costume. The
bridal party presented quite a pictur-
esques and pleasing effect upon all
present, and many were the congratu-
iations showered upon Mr.. and Mrs.
Mizelle for their journey over the ma
trimonial sea.

Editor Democrats Star.

Editor Democrat-star
The presumption ! take in thus ad-
dressing you Is to served IA double pur-
pose. First, to express my very high
est appreciation aud thanks for the
many favors and general hospitality
shown 10 my comrades and self whilst
sojourning among you. To a stranger
10 a foreign land, such unusual cour-
tesies are not anticipated, but when
they are extended to one, as was our
case, it goes to prove after all, that
the whole world Is kin. You havemy
assurance, dear sir, that n Of the
brightest pages in my book Of life will
be a retrospection Of my most pleasant
visit to your little city by the gulf.
My second purpose, however, for thus
communicating with you is of an en-
tirely different nature, and also | may
add, one of the most unpleasant duties
| have ever had to perform, that OF
reporting Two OF my comrades and
compatriots, who were with me in
Scranton, as deserters. l use the de-
spicable epithet deserters, because in
truth they are. My pulse quickens,
and my heart beats ncryously, at the
thought, much less the humiliation of
seeing face to face, two of my compan-
ions and cOuntrymen, who had pledged
themselves to me, and in whom | had
every confidence, at the eleventh hour
fatty refuse to muster at the call TO
duty. Where ere they 60, they should
be Kissed and scorned as unworthy the
cOmpanionship Of men.
Sir, l can command no words sufici.
emily adequate to express my disgust.
A full regiment Of 1900 men, with
hands uplifted, to take the oath of
allegiance to the United States with
the view to driving the naughty, but
cruel Dons from the Western hemis.
phere, out Of 1900 and odd men there
were but twelve Cubans in all.
l shall not soon forget a spectacle
that should make any true Cuban wor.
ship America and Americans forever.
Young men, mostly from good homes,
volunteer willingly, to leave their dear
ones and all that home carries with
it, TO bravely do unsellsh battle, that
Others may also be free and indepcn-
dent. Twenty thousand Americans

chance the fortunes Of war for the

they loved and were only too anxious
to fight and die for. But the Ameri-
can people are too just, and too dis
creti0nery to judge the Cubans as a
whole by the acts Of two of her un-
worthy son Therefore, l feel it a
duty to append their names, so as to
caution you in time, fearing they may,
owing to the many kindness received
at your hands, endeavor to again visit
you and presume in behalf of the Gu.
ban aus to accept further hospitali-
ties. My desire Is to warn you against
them, for | assure you, though pain
fully, | feel it my duty to do Sc. With
assurances Of my highest personal re-
gard, and again thanking you person.

A Mass Meeting of Merchants and
Business Men.

-
Pursuant to. q call a mass meeting
Of the merchauts and business men OF
Scranton was held in the "PascagOula
Commercial Club rooms, Wednesday,
June %, 1898, at 4 O'Clock p. m, for
the purpose Of taking some action t.
secure the removal Of the present
quarantine restrictions against the
coast by the cities OF New Orleans and
Mobile.
Mr.. G. II. Alley was elected chair
man of the meeting and Mr.. w. NJ.
CAVITY secretary.
On motion the chair appointed a
committee Of eleven, to which the
chair and the secretary were added,
to draft resolutions expressive OF the
sense Of the meeting.
The following resolutions were
adopted
Whereas, the Mississippi State
Board Of Health, after a thorough and
exhaustive examination and investi-
CATION OF all the coast towns, has re-
moved the oppressive, unnecessary
and senseless% quarantine, inauguratcd
by it against the coast towns and.
whereas, the cities OF New Orleans
and Mobile, with full knowledge that
there Is no reason or excuse for the
maintenance OF a quarantine against
the coast towns, still continue their
senseleSs q~uarantIues against the
same; and, whereas, in fact, the towns
OF Scranton, Moss Point. and Pascal
g0ula were never known to be in a
more healthful condition.
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
merchants and business men OF said
towns. That the boards of tradeO of the
cities OF New Orleans and Mobile
be requested to use their efforts
to secure the removal OF the quar-
antlnes, now in operation against
the coast towns that if said Quaran.
tine restrictions are continued by said
cities. under existing circumstances,
that we shall take it as an evidence
mat SAID cities are infected, and are
maintaining quarantine for dishonest
and improper purposes and that we
shall, as a matter OF safety, being free
ourselves, demand that the local au-
thorltles establish iron-clad Quaran-
tines against said cities, prohibiting
travel, and prohibiting the shipment
OF any kind of goods or freight out Of
sad cities into this territory, and we
further invite the cooperation of the
merchants along the coast TO take
similar action.

the army and navy must move on Ha-

Havana until next fall, October or
