game of craps at the home OF Dorsey.
Dorsey claimed he won on pass" and
picked up the money. Galloway demand
ed that the money be given him, and on
being refused, left the place, swearing
vengeance. Later he returned with a
shotgun and discharged both barrels di-
rectly at Dorsey's head, blowing the top
CT his skull off. The murderer escaped,
and the county authorities are now SCOUT
ing the country for him.

meeting of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy in Richmond. She thus
refers to the mississippi Room" in the

Mrs. Davis bestowed numiticent dona-

Mississippi room, The suit of clothes worn
by President Davis at the time Of his cap
ture, and from which the magnificent
bronze statue of him at Hollywood was
made; his valise, umbrella, walking cane,
Bible, prayer book, pictures which hung in
his study all of which are invaluable, and
for which many museums would give fab
ulous sums. The toys of Winnie are also
there, together with her watch, presented
to her by Princess Charlotte Of England,
her royal jewels, worn as COmus, Queen of
the Carnival, in New Orleans pictures
which adorned her room, and many other
mementoes In that the Mississippi room
was once regarded as scant in furnishing

Mrs. j. K. Mcintosh, now residing in
Richmond, is vice-regent of the asso-
citation, and is unceasing in her efforts

The Massachusetts, state board of
health has expended about 100000
during the past sixteen years, during
which time it has collected and exam
ined about 10000 specimens or sam
pies of food and drugs, has conducted
about 1 400 prosecutions against offend
ers and secured the inhiction of fines
amounting to $4,000 And yet some
people complain because the Missis-
sippi state board of health has expended
about the same sum in same period
fighting yellow fever, smallpox, etc
If the Massachusetts, board could have
