The new clubrooms Of the Elks of
this city, will be among the hand
soonest in the entire country. The
entire fifth floor of the New Century
building, now nearing completion,
has been leased, and the work of f1t
ting the same up preparatory to NOV
ing in at an early date will soon be-
gin. The new 800, 900 hotel, plans
and specifications of which are now
under consideration by the building
committee, will be located on the
site of the present Elks Club. This
is most eligible and convenient To-
cation for an up-to-date hotel. 1t is
on the corner of Capitol and Congress
streets, in front of the governors
mansion, one block east Of the federal

No one can foresee the end of the
building boom now going on here.
Another new hotel, three stories high
and moderately equipped will be
built in West Jackson just as soon as
the contract can be let. The hotel
will be Tut up by Mrs. James Nc
Cardle and will cost $4,000. The
site will be near the corner of Capt.

have already been drawn. Bids on

Judge H. @. Niles of the Federal
Court of Mississippi has just rendered
a decision In the case of the New
South Building and Loan Association
of New Orleans VS.. Luther .Manship,
which directly overturns late decis-
ion of our state Supreme Court on
the same issue. Judge Miles has held
that the contracts of the building and
loan association are not void in Mis-
sissippi because of usurious rate OF
interest, as was decided some time
ago by Chief Justice Whitfield, but
that they are, on the contrary, valid
and binding. The case involves about
1850 similar contracts of other build
ing and loan associations, which will
probably aggregate in amount $780,
900. The condition of affairs, from a
legal standpoint, is somewhat unique
and remarkable. The Federal and
State courts are in sharp conflict, one
declaring that these contracts are
valid, the other that they are void.
The Federal court has jurisdiction

volved exceeds 5000, and the state

According TO DR.. A. D. Williams. the
white, faxen hair Of albinos shows
that there is a deficiency of coloring
materials IN their bodies. Further
proof of this fact is found in the alb
sence of the necessary amount of pig
ment in their eyes. Such persons have
pink eyes because there is not pig
ment enough in the iris and upon its
postorior surface TO prevent the red re-
flex of the fundus from shining through
the Iris. .Albinos are always greatly
annoyed by strong light because there
is not sufficient coloring 10 prevent the
ingress Of a flood of it, the bright glare
entering not only through the pupil,
but through the substance Of the iris
as well
Tile ehoroid being likewise deficient
IL pigment. the excessive amount Of
light dazzles and greatly confuses the
vision. Furthermore the deficiency of
pigments in the choroid prevents the
light after it has acted on the retina
from being absorbed, that being. the
main function of the chorodal pigment.
Albinism is an unfortunate condition,
as there is no way to supply the def
cier pigment TO the iris aud choroid.
