LOCAL PROSPERITY.
When the present city admins

When the present city admins
tration, Mayor Toulme 5, was
inaugurated, some eighteen
months since, Bay ST. Louis was
heavily bonded in debt and its
unredeemable papers at that time
amounted up in the thousands,
way over its annual resources.
It's paper was only worth 70 and
Is cents on the dollar. There
seemed little or no hope for a
speedy. or even an ultimate rem
edy: law suits were threatened
and 50 troubled were finances a
crisis appeared imminent. But,
without wishing to speak dispar-
agiugly Of the former administra-
ton, the present hoard proposed
coming to the rescue, and that it
has successfully done so will be
seen. 1t was proposed to first
pay the cIty's. special debts and
then redeem its warrants by a
course of rigid economy, not at
the expense of the city's progress
siyeness and necessities, and to
suffer retr0gressiOn. but in a man
ner that has brought about the
most happy conditions which has
eliminated all financial embarrass-
ment and permitted no negligence
of the material welfare of the
municipality. Today city war
rants are worth 95 cents on the
dollar, and by the end of the
year, about Dec. 1st, there will be
no outstanding warrants and cash
in the treasury, a condition for
which Bay St. Louis has for years
not enjoyed. This financial sta
bility is a soldity for the Bay that
means much and particularly at
this time on the eve of a new era
that is about to dawn. There i
| prosperity in the air. The county
has plenty of cash in its treasury
so much so that the new tax rate
gives Hancock the distinction and
the most beneficial advertisement
of having the lowest tax rate Of
any county in the State, viz: , >

That there are five thousand
theatres in America, and that one
million and half people attend
them each night, spending seven
ty million dollars year on thea
tre-going, are the surprising facts
with which Mr.. Franklin Fyles,
the dramatic editor of the New
York Sun, will open an import
ant series in the next issue Of the
Ladies' Home journal. The Sc
ries will be called The Theatre
and It's People, and will run
through seven numbers Of the ma
gazine, lavishly illustrated with
pictures made by twelve different
artists The articles will treat of
every phase of the theatre, the
play and the actor, from the in
side, and will tell how a theatre
is managed; the actual money
which plays have made; how an
actor is trained and what the ac-
tors are actually paid; how play
is written and what the authors re-
ceive; how play is rehearsed: the
first night of a play; how the ac-
tresses "make up and what they
use; and in minute way the two
last articles will show what goes
on behind the scenes on the stage
during performance. 1t IS a GU
rious fact that this will be the first
time that the theatre and the ac-
tor have ever been exhaustlvely
treated in Il magazine, and that
there is no book on the subject
in existe nee.

Secretary Power Wants a Discrimi-
nation in Charter Fees.
States Mississippi Bureau

States MISSISSIPPI Bureau,
jackson, Sept. y.
It is more than probable that
the biennial report of Col. j. L.
Power. secretary Of State, to the
coming session of the Legislature,
will contain a recommendation
for the passage of a law governing
the recording fee charged to cor
porations for charters granting
privilege of doing business in the
State.
The receipts of State of Mis-
si5s;ppi from this source are
,idicaIously small when COM
pared with those Of other States
having a graduated scale. Col.
Power endeavored to have a mea-
sure similar to the one now in
vogue in the State of Illinois,
passed at the last session Of the
Legislature. but for some rea-
son it was lost in the crush of
other business. He will now
prepare an elaborate scale of
figures, showing how Mississippi
should legitImateIy profit from
this source. citing the fact that
the State of Illinois in two years
derived the very neat sum of
100000 from fees charged for
corporation charters.
The present charter fee in Mis-
sissippiia only So, regardless of the
amount of capital stock of the ap-
plicant, and this amount hardly
pays for the clerk hired i'll placing
the charter on the records. y
wise measure on the subject with
a reasonable scale OF prices, from
23 upwards, wouldredound great,
ly to the benefit of the lnIpov-
arished State treasury.

The sugar interests are making
a determined fight against any
step being taken which will result
in the admission of sugar and mo-
Iasscs free of duty as a product
of American territory in the OPEN
ing up of Porto Rican trade. The
argument of injury to the beet
sugar industry of the west, similar
to those advanced against the an
nexation of Hawaii, is being
strongly urged, and an effort is
being made to have pressure
brought from the sugar beet pro-
ducing sections of this country to
indefinitely delay the recognition
of Porto Rico as a part Of the domi-
Mon of the United States in way
to bring it under the provisions
of the Constitution with respect
to the exchange of commerce be-
tween the States and territories.

This Triumph Now AnnOunced-EchO
Also PhotographeG.

MADISON. WIS. March A-Professor
r. w Wood. of Madison, has succeeded
in making photographs Of waves Of sound
in the air. The sound wave is the crack
Of an electric spark, and it is illuminated
and photographed by means Of the light
Of a second spark. which flashes between
two magnesium wires. some distance be
hind the first and at an interval OF about
one en-thousandth of second after the
first spark. The sound wave is thus
caught before it has gotten out of the
field Of the instrument. although moving
with a velocity Of 1000 feet n second. The
wave appears as a thin circle Of shadow,
with a light border, being simply a sec
uonal view of the rapidly diverging
spherical shell Of condensed air consti-
tuting the sound wave BY placing a
glass plate near the point where the wave
starts, the reflected wave or echo has
been photographed, and appears as
circle. with equal but opposite curvature.
These waves were observed by Topler. a
German physicist. a number of years
ago but they have never been photo
graphed before
