IN AN IDLE MOMENT.

For the life Of me can't see why the
editor Of the Vicksburg American is ST
hard upon the bachelors Of Mississippi
He has written two heavy editorials
recently urging the next legislature 10
place tax on the unmarried men Of
the commonwealth. AS one Of thatlib-
erty-loving band ! object. The editor
OF the American should take a sensible
view of this question. The bachelors
are too poor to marry the girl Of this
age, God bless her. Does he think the
bachelor fool enough TO live without
G IDS greatest blessing if he had the
price? II SO, he is not acquainted with
the bachelor. But 1t takes money, mt
boy, to make the mare go, and know
ing this. the big-hearted bachelor de-
prives himself Of the Joys Of mar
ried life rather than to take a wife and
then have to deny her those little trim
kets thatmake her SO happy. After
such sacrifice this man then has the
nerve to want to tax bachelors. Get
together, bachelors, and fight for your
liberty Refuse to vote for any man
who favors this outrageous scheme !!
Let our battle cry be "Give US liberty
or give US death, then If we are de-
feated, dare them to do their worst.
And then we can retaliate by asking
that a tax be levied on the women who
who refused to marry US and made US
bachelors.

terday. The information had come in
/ a telegram to his employees, the Thom-
SON Wilson Co., and the cold fact only
was given. But later it was learned
that Mr.. Jackson had been found dead
IN his bed, in "a hotel in Lake Charles.
La, at 10 O'Clock q. M, and that the
physician who had been called in had
declared that he died of valvuar heart
trouble, from which he had suffered for
several years. Mr.. jackson had been
In Lake Charles for several DAYS, but
so far as was known was not complain
ing. His personal letters to the house
contain no reference to any illness. 1t
Is therefore clear that he was stricken
while asleep and passed instantly
away. He had been dead when found,
as the examining physician declared,
several hours. The position and CON
dition of the body manifested an easy
end. The body was, on Mrs. Jacksons
direction, ordered shipped to his for
mer home in Greenville, Miss, and
Mrs. Jackson left by the first train for
that point.
Not only his business associates but
all friends speak of the deceased in
highest terms, and his death is greatly
mourned. His robustness promised
him longer life than he lived.-Pa-

GREAT DANGER OF ACCIDENT.

Than Two Trips.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Philadelphia, Feb. 2s.-The three torpedo
boats, Barry, Chauncey and Bainbridge.
built by the Neafle & Levy Shipbuilding
Company, were denounced to-day by the
president of the shipyards as death traps
and totally unfit for service. He said. fur
| Their, that he would not risk his life in them
for anything, nor would he go on the trial
trip.
The three boats, which must guarantee a
speed of twenty-nine knots before they will
be accepted. are built according to Govern
ment plans. with unusually light hulls and
very heavy machinery. Regarding them,
President Seddinger said to-day:
IF any defect should develop on the trial
trip 1t would be exceedingly difficult to rem
edy 1t with the boats in the water, owing
to their unique construction. AT the high
rate of speed that must be attained on the
trial trip every one will be kept below with
the matches battened down. Should the
smallest pin in the machinery give way, the
boat will go to the bottom with every one
on board. l would not go. They won't last
more than a couple of trips. The Govern
ment does not expect them to-"
The three torpedo boats which are ready
for launching were. according to the Gov
eminent plans. to have been launched stimuli
taneously. Now 1t has been decided to
launch one first and try 1t before 1t goes to
sea with a crew. The machinery will be
given a very careful test at the docks. 1t
is said the mechanics in the shipyards are
afraid of the boats, and may refuse to risk
their lives on the trial trip.

Of the applicability of some tried device for

Municipal Assembly to enable active WORK
