Coast Deienses.

The Mississippi State Medical
Association, which was in session
here three days, adopted resolu-
tions requesting the Mississippi
Senators and Representatives in
Congress to do all in their power
against the Cafery bill but at the
same time expressed the conviction
that there should be something
like uniform health laws for all
the States. The resolution was
vigorously opposed by S. d. Bob
bins, Of Vicksburg, but only two
votes were cast against the adop-
tlon. The association indorsed
the proposition of the organiza-
ton Of department of public
health, and DR.. Kiger, of Vicks-
burg, who is president of the State
Board of Heath, was elected
Of the department. The
association spent about six hours
in q discussion of yellow fever. its
symptoms and treatment, and ex-
pressed the conviction that they |
IRE better prepared than ever be-
fore to combat the disease. DR.. |

A Complaint Column.

AS summer approaches the ne
cesslty for placing the city in a
condition to resist the diseases in
cident to that season is apparent
to all. The absorbing interests of
war and overflow have caused for
getfulness of the comparatively
commonplace matters of every
day life. THE TINES would ven
ture to suggest to It's readers that
the city officials be aided in their
efforts by the citizens themselves;
and to this end, whenever a cause
of complaint is known, such as
the unsanitary condition of any
premises, or the existence of any
nuisance, abuse, or menace to
public health and comfort, that
those who know of it should not
wait for its discovery by the sani-
tary inspector, health officer or
street supervisor, but should at
once make it known by a COM
addressed to this pa
per, by which it will be gladly
and promptly published. Such
communication should be short,
and must be signed by the name
Of the sender, The name, of
course, will not be published if
not desired, and the identity of
the sender will be regarded as
strictly confidential. Any COM
plant which is not msnifestly !

nate subject for this column; and

The Household.

A masculine writer IN a late
magazine makes some witty re-
marks in the following strain;
What so pitiable as the man in
whose house a social daylight
function is inprogress' The poor
soul feels all the pain, with
none of the pleasure.
Whether he is restIsssly pacing
the streets an exile from home, or
at his daily toll, he knows that
back there at the house is light
and life, laughter and feasting and
conversation, beautiful women in
their best gowns, and all are en-
tirely happy without his presence.
Perhaps he dares to venture home
on some errand, or to stay tho
pangs of hunger, how like a thief
in the night he sneak8 to the back
door! He hears the buzz of the
many feminine voices, the music
of their laughter, imagines the
glory of their smiles. There

you have bilious look, If your

The 'tCabinet Members Wife. >

The authorship of the much-dis-
cussed elmer Experience of a
Cabinet Members Wife," printed
in the Ladies' Home journal, will
be revealed in the June issue of
that magazine, when the name of
Anna Farquhar will appear as the
author. It is surmised that the
domestic experiences described in
these letters were those Of Mrs.
W. H. H. Miller, wife of the
Acknowledgement in President
Harrison's Cabinet, since Miss
Farquhar is known to be q person
al friend of the Miller family, and
to have spent considerable time
with them in Washington during
their official residence there. The
author of these letters was born
and raised in Indianapolis, in
3eighborly relations with the Har-
rison AID Miller families, but for
ten years past she has lived a stu
dio1s professional life in New
York, London and Boston. She
is now connected with The editorial
staff of The Boston Transcript.
In addition to her "Cabinet MefR-
ber's Wife" letters she has pub
lished one novel-"A Singers
Hear" and another one is about
to be issued. She is young
woman, exceedingly clever, and
only her closest friends have
known her connection with the
Washington letters which have at
tracted such wide attention.

DIVIDED SENTlMENl.

The tone Of the European press
in regard to the war continues
vehemently hostile TO the United
States, with the exception Of Rus
sia and England. In Russia a
guarded sympathy is manifested,
while in England opinion seems
divided, some papers Of influence
championing the cause of this
country as warmly as others attack
IT.
The Newcastle Chronicle says:
1T is not humanitarianism in
heroics; it is hypocrisy in hyster-
les.
A dispatch from Paris to the
Sunday Special reads;
"The American methods Of deal
ing with Spain have excited man-
imous indignation. France will
not let Spain 60 down without a
helping hand, The considerations
that prompt active Interference
upon her part are many. From
the point Of view of self preserva-I
ton, the Monroe doctrine must be
combated. The hundreds of mil
lions of French Capital invested in
Spain must be protected, and the
Latin race must be upheld against
the Anglo-SaXon. The army has
been under a cloud lately, and
would be glad of diversion.
Finally, French prestige would

SMipling's "ReCessiqnar" Sci to Music.

Every person, whether a musi.
clan or not, will be interested to
know that Reginald de Koyen
has set Rudyard Kipling's Gre
cessional" to music, and that the
hymn is published in the May
Ladies Home Journal. The Gre
cessional" is conceded to have en-
riched our literature more than
any other single poem>ot the coun-
try, and Mr.. de Koven's music
is said to be in every way worthy
of the famous authors master
piece. He has set the words for
and mezzo-soprano voices
with chorus and solo, making a
composition which is likely to
prove one of the most popular for
church choir singing presented in
recent years.

The London Spectator rises to
remark: ''The Continental Pow

publics, but we cannot imagine
that they would be so mad as to

Economy and Industry.

The modest but notable achieve
ments of a Connecticut widow on
d farm put shame the complaining
farmers who assert that farming
in New England is pro6tless, and
who, failing to sell the farms
which they have worn out, aban.
don them and enter into the fiercer
competition for a livelihood in the
cities. This woman, whose story
is told in the Hartford Courant,
was left a widow twelve years ago,
at the age of 50. She received
from her husband farm of 165
acres, having upon it one COW, a
heifer, two horses and a mortgage
$3.50. She now has . heard Of
cows and three horses, and has
paid $1,000 on the mortgage. In
other words, upon a 165-acre farm
the woman seems to have made a
living and saved about $150a year,
besides current interest ON the
mortgage. In addition, it must
be inferred that the industry and
business sense which accomplished
this much also improved the farm
and thus increased its cash value.
Few women of so years could do
more in any occupation. Indeed,
the majority of men do less,

Sound Sense.

With such a prospect before US,
we can only repeat what we have
said more than once, that while
we deploro war, if it is to come, it
were well that what we propose to
do were done quickly. We can
not do better in the interest Of our
prestige, in the interest of the
starving reconcentrados, and in
the interest of business and the
taxpayers, than bend our every
energy to making the conflict
sharp, short and declusive,-

Gen. WaIthaII's Successor.

us as marked copy, with the fol-
lowing fattering and well deserved
notice Of Mississippian who has
made a name for himself:
1t rarely falls TO the lot of a gov.
ernor of State to have the ap-
pointment of two United States
senators during one term of his
Office. This is made possible in the
Mississippi senatorship by the
death of Gen. +. c. Walthail. We
believe that Gov. McLaurin could
select no abler nor better-ftted
man for the position than Judge
Robert Powell of Madison county.
