A SMART PARROT
Will Join in the Welcome of
Dewey to Washing
ton.
Special to News-Democrat.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-A ~arrot of
exceptional linguistic accomplishments
will join in the welcome now being pre-
pared for Admiral Dewey in Washing
ton. The bird is the property of Mrs.
Washington Mclean an old friend of
Dewey and mother of the gubernatorial
candidate of Ohio. Some time ago
Mrs. Mclean offered toAdmiral Dewey
the use of her residence at the corner
of Connecticut avenue and Farragut
square, urging him to occupy 1t as his
own during his stay in Washington.
The offer was accepted and the house
has been prepared for the admiraPs S
reception. The parrot is always con-
spicuous object about the premises, his
cage being hung sometimes at the
front entrance and sometimes at the
side. For the last week member of
Mrs. McLean's family has been teach
ing polly new trick and If he is faith
full to his tuition he will call out heartily
to the admiral when he enters the house
next week.
Hello, George! Hello, George Dewey
Walk in. George!"
The parrot has already practiced this
salutation on several male visitors but
Is predicted bypolly's owner that he will
soon become acquainted with the iden-
tity of the real Admiral Dewey.

A TRUST FACT.
American Women Must Pay Double Price
For Their Thread.
(New York World.)

(New York WORLDLY
1t is just cause of complaint against
both the Chicago and the st. Louis con-
ferences on trusts that they did not
bring out and give to the people enough
facts as to the operation and effects
of monopolies. These facts, as given in
a letter to the World from a Seam
stress have more practical value than
many of the speeches on this subject:
"The price of the two-huadred-ya yard
siX-cord spool cotton IN Great Britain,
per spool, is two cents; price in the
United States. four cents. In the
farming districts the price is five cents.
One hundred yard spool linen thread
foreign price, one and one-h half cents;
one hundred yard spool linen thread
American price, four cents"
Cotton and linen thread are both
articles of universal use. Both are
protected by a heavy tariff. Both are
controlled by trusts. And they are
sold here, according to this consumer
from 100 to $50 per cent higher than
in England.
This is concrete illustration of thc
effect of tariff -fostered trusts. Only
one such appeared in the proceedings
at Chicago, and that was the inter
jected statement of delegate that tho
Federal Steel trust had increased tn,
price of all its products from 100 u
125 per cent, but that the wages Of 1t:
workmen had been advanced only
from 10 to 25 per cent.
These conferences rendered valuable
service in stimulating discussion, dis
closing the attitude of different leader
and classes, and suggesting remedies
for the admitted evils of trusts. Blu
for facts we must apparently look to tn

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
A Famous Man.

Bishop Charles u. Galloway, in letter
to the Clarion-Ledycr pays a tribute to
the memory of Gen. Thomas Kinds. one
of the most illustrious men OF the early
history of the State and also one Of the
heroes Of the war of 1872. Gen. Kinds
was a native of Virginia, and came TO
Mississippi when he was but 10 years Of
age. He lived and died among our peo-
pie. His grave is near Fayette, in JEFF
ferson county. At the battle of New
Orleans Gen. Kinds. then colonel of a
regiment of dragons" made his
famous cavalry charge. A body of
British infantry had intrenched them
selves in a ditch some ten feet wide and
were doing deadly work. Col. Kinds
formed his dragons and ordered them
to charge. They went like a whirl-
wind, charging over the trench, and as
their trained steeds leaped over the
heads of the British soldiers the dra-
goons delivered deadly fire down upon
their heads. On the other side they
were halted, wheeled and charged back,
repeating the same maneuvcr.; The
British were sonuch discounted by this
daring and unheard Of feat of warfare
that they gave up the position. Gen.
jackson made a speech to the dragons
after the battle in recognition of their
bravery
