THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.

A special from Washington to the
New York Tribune dated April Sd,
SAYS The secretary of the treasury
has sent an urgent request to Congress
TO make $500, 900 Immediately avalla-
BILE TO enable the marine hospital SER
vice to fight the plague and other dis
eases that may appear at any moment.
In the annual estimates submitted
last December 100000 was asked. for
this purpose, but 1t Is already known
that this amount will be insufficient,
and that a large fund ought to be
ready for the emergency without de-
lay. DR.. Wyman says that the bubonic
plague has recently been reported ut
San Francisco, and that the early re-
crudcscence OF yellow fever In Florida
and other Southern States Is seriously
apprehended. This state Of affairs
has rendered necessary the expendi'
ture OF greater sums from the appro
priation to fight epidemics than were
contemplated when the estimates
were submitted, and It Is believed tina
$500, 900 may prove insufficient to NEE
all ths,elnergencies likely to arise Il
the coming dscal year.

THE FRIENDLY HAND.
BY JAMES wHITcoMB RILEY.

When a man amt got a cent an he's
feelin' kind o. blue,
An the clouds hang dark an won't let
the sunshine through,
It's a great thing, my brethren, for a
feller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder in friend
ly sort o. way! A
1t makes man feel curious; it makes
the teardrops start,
An you sort o. feel flutter in the region
of the heart.
You can't look up and meet his eye; you
don't know what to say,
When his hand is on your shoulder in a
friendly sort o. way.
o the worlds a curious compound, with
ITS honey an its gall,
With its cares an bitter crosses; but q
good world, after all.
An good God must have made it-least
ways, that's what say
When hand rests on my shoulder in {
friendly sort o. way.

Mr.. Edward Box, in the Ladies
Home Journal, devotes considerable
space to discussion on "The Ease
With Which We Marry" He thinks
that the trouble is not with our d.
vorce laws, but with the laws which
make it possible for man to boast, as
one recently did, that he had married
sixteen different women in less than
five years. Says Mr.. Box: ''The pres
ent open-door policy for marriage in
America cannot exist much longer.
The question must be met, and u
should be met squarely. Any discus
sion of divorce is untimely; it Is futile
at the moment. 1t is graphing with
the question at the wrong end.
Whether divorce is right or wrong,
whether there should be divorce at
all, and on what grounds decree Of
divorce should be granted-these are
not the pressing questions of the
hour. The whole matter Of divorces
does not begin to stand in such urgent
need OF discussion as does the Ques-
tion OF the laws Of marriage. When
we adjust marriage as we should ad-
just it, then we can give our attention
to divorce. And then we shall find
that in adjusting the one we shall
have come pretty close to the wIsest
and best adjustment Of the other. The
practical solution Of both, 10 short.
lies In the proper adjustment and rig
i'd enforcement Of laws which shall
make marriage more difiicult Of ac.
compIishment.

VIEWING THE ECLIPSE.
Mobile Register.

! noDhc iA'SisttIs
Although in all the prospectuses re.
lating to the total eclipse OF the sun
on May 2Sth next Mobile is properly
included as one OF the points where
the total eclipse will be seen, and be-
cause is the largest city in this l0cali.
ty that is near the centre Of totality,
the exact figures as To time Of Obscu-
ration and totally at Mobile are giv-
len, yet those who are interested in {,
observing the phenomenon will do
well TO consider that Mobile is on the
extreme edge of the total line, and
will for twenty-fuur seconds only have
"a view of the total obscuratiOn Of the
sun. In fact, is is doubtful II people
living only so far south at Monroe
Park will be inside the line Of total.
ty for the map prepared BY the naval
department indicates the south line
as running through the nOrherD SUI
burb of Scranton In straight line
through the southern suburb Of Mo-
bile, leaving the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad two miles or more to the
southeast or outside the south line Of
totality. People living in the southern
part OF the county will, therefore,
come up above the line we have indi'
Gated in the map or they will miss
seeing the chief feature Of the eclipse,
namely, its totality.
In the same way the people Of St.
Stephens, in Washington county, will
have come down to Jackson il they
want to see anything Of the total
eclipse, and the people OF Grove Hill, in
Clarke county, will have to go to Clai.
borne. The northern line OF totality
runs from Leakesville, in Greene coun-
ty, Mississippi, in straight line To
Montgomery and beyond, and just
takes IN Hayneville, in LOwndes
county.
), The centre of t0taIty for this To-
cality is precisely where the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad crosses the north
ern line of Mobile county. Citronellc
is, therefore, the best place 10 this
neighborhood at which to view the
eclipse, for there the totality will last
longest; there, also, the chances in
favor Of fine, clear weather are the
best. Equally favorably situated 10.
calities are Bay st. Louis, MonrOeville,
Greenvllle and Union Springs.
Theeclipse is an early morning affair
in this part Of the world. 1t begins
at Mobile at 6:35 a. m; totality begins
at 7.40.6 and ends at TAI, and the
eclipse ends at S:59.7, all being over on
the stroke OF 8 O'Clock in the morning.
The shadow OF the moon passes over
the country at the rate OF Al miles a
minute, and its diameter Of tOtality ia
about go miles. All persons located
outside this 60 mile ribbon OF total
observation of the suns surface will
see but partial eclipse, pPbvided they
live in North America. The first con-
tact of the shadow on the suns face
will be at the right hand upper quar-
ter or limb, and the last contact will
be on the opposite side at the left hand
, lower quarter.

SOME HIT OR MISS REMARKS.

The Verdict.
1t is an unclean age: the trail OF the
serpent is over all! Each vessel Of
news cleared lately at Washington
comes sailing to us loaded to the
guards with Il cargo of history con.
cerning Clark's bribe-bought seat as
Senator from Montana. Aud the sto-
ries swell and smell of very ferment
of corruption. And currsh daily
press mouths, and wallows, and grow.
lingly, not to say crunchingly, worries
Clark for it, as might terrier rat.
Wherefor all this press excitement?
The Verdict hates hyp0crite-ay! a
hypocrite of daily types and ink. And
so it asks again: Why particularly and
peculiarly worry Clark? Is he unusual
in his ignominy? Bought a seat in
the Senate, quotha. Is he the first to
do the dripping villainy? 1t is not
two years since Hanna came heinously
from Ohio. was there no charge VI
brides to follow him? Did not Re-
publican committee Of Republican
State Senate examine into Hannas
nomination rs Senator, and file with
the United States Senate charge
that bribery was the basis OF his emf
pence? Why wasn't, or isn't, tha,
Hanna Indictment zone into with tha
same furious eagerness for truth anC
Senate purity that is 50 marked al
attribute OF this present pursuit o
the ignoble Clark? Also, why was
daily press-to foam v0ciferously or
the trail OF Clark-silentand dumb IL
the sinful instance OF Hanna?

SUPREME COURT DECISION
THAT UPsETs A THEORY THAT IS
QUITE PREVALENT
RELATIVE TO CERTAIN POWERS OF
MuNICI PALITIES.

Town Of Ocean Springs vs.. j. NJ. Green.
In Supreme Court.
Opinion by Justice Tcrral.
Green was charged by affidavit be
fore the Mayor of Ocean Springs with
exhibiting pistol in said town, in q
rude. angry and Threatening manner
not in necessary self-defense. Orii
nance No. 1876, under which sale
charge is made is entitled San ordi'
nance to prevent the carrying, or ex
hibiting deadly weapons" The con
tention here is that the charge
against Green is nullity for two
reasons:
lst. Because the title OF ordinanc,
100 contains more than one subject
and is obnoxious to section 3O0S Ammo
tated Code.
I'd. Because the Legislature has, M
constitutional authority to confe
upon municipality power TO punisl
the act charged against Green, undel
said ordinance
|, The subject OF ordinance No
| 100 is deadly weapons or Of crimina
acts committed with deadly weapons
and any aud all acts committed by the
use Of deadly weapons, which thu
municipality may choose to prohibit
might have been properly included
under said title. Weare of the opin
ion that ordinance No. 1903 contalns
but one subject.
=. The American doctrine has al
ways been that the Legislature. with
out any express constitutional grant
may institute corporations of ever.
kind. The maxim that Legislative
authority cannot be delegated ha
never been understood as applying tt
the power conferred upon municipa
corporations. Their existence here
before the adoption of any State con
stitution has naturalized them as
part of the institutions Of our race
preservative of local self-government
which constitutions are intended tt
preserve and perpetuate; and thei
advantage in meeting with facult.
aud economy, the needs of local com
munitics, in matters in which 0the
parts of the State are not interested
and about which they should not b'
burdened by taxation or otherwise
has been so evident, that their crea
tion by legislative authority only ha
generally passed unchallengcd.
1t is not decided that municipali
ties may be authorized to punish act
not amounting To crime under thu
State law; then why may they no,
make acts criminal by the State law
contrary to local authority. A fOrci
! BILE discussion OF the question may b
found in Judge Cooley's book on con
stitutional limitations, page lao (5tl
edition) ct seQuitur. The constitu
tion recognizes the power Of the Leg
islature to create corporations, an
the right Of corporations To make by
laws to effect the objects Of their In
stitution, is incident to their creatio
and existence.

to sume that Mississippi has a 800. .00O

miles from Bay st. Louis; 5000 laying
