A LITTLE HISTORY.

The building of the Quito block
ON Walnut street removes one OF
the land marks of early Green
vile in the old Byrne dwelling
house, which, away back in the
seventies, was a noted centre of
hospitality and social gayety. 1t
was then the home of Major and
Mrs. Edward Byrne, and was ever
freely open to their friends and
the throngs of young people who
made it their favorite rendezvous.
Mrs, Byrne was a beautiful and
highly accomplished woman, be-
ING especially gifted musician
and the possessor Of "A magnificent
voice; while her daughter, Harriet,
Is still well remembered here for
the extraordinary beauty of her
early girlhood, and her son, Frs
kline, for his manliness and popu-
larity with all who knew him. The
awful tragedy Of the yellow fever
in 1878 fell heavily upon the fami-
Iy. Erskine Byrne, then about
Is, was one of the first victims.
Major Byrne succumbed to the
dreadful disease while on a steam
boat, flying from the plague with
the remnant of his family. The
widowed mother and her daughter
never returned to the old home.
Miss Byrne, several years after
wards, became Mrs. Owsley, of
Chicago, and two years after her
marriage died, while at the zenith
of rreputation as one of the most
beautiful women in that city. OF
the gifted and brilliant people who
once gave life and charm to the
old house but one remains-the
lonely woman, widowed and child
less, who now lives far from the !
scenes where her happier life was
spent.
The city and its social life has
grown far away from the old
Byrne house. 1t has long looked
small, sad, and deserted, 1t is
fitting that it should be hidden
away forever, with its memories
Of Joy and sorrow.

The AngIO-Saxon Alliance.

"But, while | do not think such

opinion of the president, that never
since the revolution has the feel
ing in this country for Great Brit
ain been sowarm, 50 cordlat, new
er have we seemed so like the
members Of one great family as
we do now, This feeling is due
entirely to Great Britain's action
in refusing to join the proposed
concert of Europe to interfere in
our affairs. Had she Joined that
concert the bloodiest war of h!sto-
ry would have resulted. because
we would never have brooked such
interference, no matter what the
cost. 1t is not, | think, so much
the escape from such a con-
fict that this warm feelina for
Great Britain has5 sprung up, as it
is the action itself. Some cynics
may say that Great Britain had a
motive in it, the motive of her de-
sire for a treaty Of alliance. But
that matters not. She refused to
Join Europe against us. And for
that action we are so grateful that
while we may not very soon agree
to such treaty, it will be a very
long time, if ever, before anything
like friction is generated by our
relations with each other. In
other words, the action of Great
Britain has begotten an era of good
feeling which bodies great good for
both the great republic and empire
of the world, and through them,

A GOOD SHOWING.
The YaloO Delta Road Makes It's
First Quarterly Report.

The clerk of the railroad com
mission has just received the frs
quarterly report of the Yazoc
Delta railway, which was organ.
lied and chartered several years
ago by Hon. Chester II, Pond. II
was first started as Il tramroad
running in a northerly direction
from Moorhead for the purpose of
hauling logs for saw-mills at that
place. The road has now been
completed to the town of Rule
vile and will probably be extend
ded to Dublin on the Tallahatchie
branch of the Yazoo and Missis-
sippi Valley road. 1t is thought
that an extension will also be
made south toward Yazoo City
and Belzonia. In case this is done,
it will be up one of the best sec
tions of the whole delta country.
The quarterly report filed with
Clerk r. c, Kimbrough shows
the total receipts to be s., 5,935.64,
and the running expenses S5,-
S73.43, leaving a rather small
profit to the investors, but it gives
a clear idea of the amount of
money which is invested in the
enterprise. The estimated value
of the road per mile is IS, ,OO0.-

The Question Of British Sympathy.

London, May 2.--The question
as to whether British sympathy is
really with America is still agi-
tating those who are chiefly inter
ested in establishing q good lm-
derstanding between the two na-
/ tions. Mr.. Alfred Harmsworth,
who personally, and through MS
papers has been doing the most
efficient work in this direction, is
convinced thai a large majority of
the people of the United Kingdom
are universally in sympathy with
United States. He bases his con-
viction on a careful canvas of the
country which he has just had
completed. 1t shows that Scot
land is practically solid for
America and that Ireland, except
in the north, is hostile to America.
Officials, merchants, shippers
and businessmen generally, about
30 per cont are keenly Americans;
% per cent. are neutral and 30
per cent. against war anywhere.
The non oontormists are solidly
pro-American, while 80 per cent.
of the Roman Catholics are pro-
Spanish in all cases, according to
the figures collected,
The British aristocracy, aside
from the Catholics, is evenly di-
vided while the Jews are opposed
to America,
On the subject Of Catholic op-
position to America the Daily
Mail, in an article printed today,
says;
'It is largely due to distin-
guished members of the Roman
Catholic aristocracy and the Catho-
lie prelate of the United Kingdom
and Ireland that a slight sympa-
thy for Spain has been worked up
during the past few days. The
priests and people alike are intent
on showing their sympathy in the
country which was a formerly a
stronger hold of the church than
Italy and great efforts are making
to influence the trend of public
opinion. This fact and the strong
Irish feeling explains why so few
nationalist members of the house
of commons have spoken publicly
in favor of the United States.
Messrs. Redmond and Dillon have
spoken, but the latter was imme-
liateIy attacked by probably the
most widely circulated Catholic
organ in England, the Catholic

ed only in the Spanish navy and
only in the four ships destroyed.
But this is no explanation for
the failure of the Spanish ships
to deliver q single effective blow,
to iniure any American snip with
which they were engaged. This
explanation is only to be found
in the superior efficiency OF the
American gunners. the rapidity
and accuracy Of their fire, a fire
which. as at Manila, seems to
have simply smothered, demoral-
lied the Spanish gunners so that
they could not train their guns.
It was not the superior armor of
the American ships that saved
them from injury, for as incredi-
BILE as it appears it seems that no
American ship was squarely
by a shell of any size. 1t was
simply the superiority of their
fire, the greater efficiency with
which their guns were fired that
saved them from serious injury.
So holly did they pour in their
fire on the doomed Spanish YES
sells that the Spaniards were rem
dered incapable of returning an
effective fire. They fired furi-
ously, indeed, but wildly, they
fought their guns heroically,
Economically, but the element of
effectiveness, GOODNESS, and cal
culation in their fire was seem
ingly wanting.

Dewey's Manila naval battle
seems already an old story. but
1T will always be one that we can
point to with pride. Schlev's
crushing victory, that goes bv
the name of SIMPSONS, over the
flower of the Spanish navy. a
victory as complete, as signal as
that of Manila bay and almost
as costlessly won leaves no doubt
OF the unreasonable superiority
OF Americans over Spaniards on
sea. Again it may be said that
the Spanish met a superior force
and that Cervera's feet had to
confront when he led it out of
Santiago harbor were more in
number and individually super.
nor, that heavy battleships faced
