TRUE HAPPIN ESS.

THE dance and the whirl go on,
And the jealousy and the strife;
And the summer comes and the summer
Wanes,
And the sum of it all is Life.
And some would give their kingdom for
love,
And some their kingdom for gain;
And some would give their earthly all
Just to be young again.
But It's neither the love nor the gain,
Nor the youth that has vanished past;
Nor the sun, nor the dew, nor the heat,
nor the rain,
That brings happiness at last.
Il is only the love OF God,
Filling wide the heart of man;
q is only the lips which gently speak
In the accents of His plan.
1t is only an uplifted face,
And a. hand that is stretched to all
But somehow the love, and the youth,
and the gain,
Are there without striving at all.

TELEPHoNlNe REvoLUrIoNlzED
BY an Invention of Prof. Pupin of CO.
Ium bia University.

AS a result of discoveries and in
ventions of Prof. NJ. l. Pupin, of Co
lumbiA University, it is probable that
within the lifetime of this generation
the sound of the human voice may be
made to encrcle the globe. Ocean tele-
phoning is feasible. according to the
electrical engineers who have studied
the discoveries of Prof. Pupin and upon
whose opinion the officials of the Bell
Telephone Company paid Pupin nearly
one-half million in cash for his patents
and a royalty of $4,000 annually dur
ing the life of the patents.
At present it is possible to talk 1000
miles by telephone; when Prof. Pupin's
system is put into operation there will
be no limit to the distance that one

FIFTH SUCCESSFUL VOYAGE,


NIAGARA FALLS, N. " July IA
About three thousand people saw
Carlisle D. Graham make his fifth
successful voyage through the whirl'
pool rapids in a barrel this afternoon.
The barrel is Of locust wood, oyal-shap-
ed. except that it has fiat head; 1t is
about five feet long, nineteen inches
in diameter at the foot and twenty-siX
inches at the head With its 100
pounds of ballast 1t weighed l65
pounds. The start was made from the
Maid-of.the-Mist landing, below the
Falls The barrel was caught In an
eddy and circled about a little above
tho cantilever bridge for quarter OF
an hour The stronger current in the
middle of the stream finally jerked it
out Of the eddy into the foaming
waters of the rapids. Passing under
the second bridge the barrel had a
narrow escape from being dashed TO
pieces against Ine elout ao"'lhNH'' va
the bridge. The passage through the
rapids was swift. 1t took the barrel
five minutes to reach the eddy from
the starting point and twenty minutes
TO get out of it, but it took only three
and a half minutes to pass through
the rapids and the whirlpool, dis
tance of about a mile At no time
during the passage through the rapids
was the barrel lost sight Of. 1t was
taken from the water after it had
circled about in the whirlpool for a
few minutes. Graham was slightly
bruised about the elbows and knees,
hut he was otherwise unhurt.

CORN BELT NOT BADLY HURT.
secretary Wilson Thinks There Is No Cause
for AlSrm-Tho Lack Of Moisture
Has Not Seriously Affected

the Crop.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Secretary of
agriculture Wilson hopes that the
corn crop of the Western States has not
yet been ruined by the drouth. He is
disposed to believe that the reports
as to the damage have been ex.
aggerated.
i do not regard the corn crop as
seriously damaged" said Secretary
Wilson yesterday, Notwithstanding
the press reports from the Western
States. On the first of July the condi-
ton of the corn crop was more promis-
ing than on the same date last year,
aad even If the press reports are not
exaggerated, although | am inclined
to think that they over-state the real
conditions, there is not as yet cause
for genuine alarm. Throughout the
area of the great corn crop the drouth
has not been severe enough to seri-
ously affect that crop. Hot weather
IS not damaging to corn at this sea
son. In fact, high temperature at this
season is one of the requisites of corn
development, and so | think we had
better wait a while before We say that
the corn crop is ruined For myself,
| think that we will have plenty Of
corn in this country. The press re-
ports from Kansas and Nebraska are,
CT course, discouraging, but the crop
in those States is not great, except in
the eastern portions. The great corn
belt of this country is east Of the
Missouri river and west of the Ohio.
! have not yet seen anything to indi-
cate that there has been a large
amount of damage in this area Of
country. am going to wait, therefore
until | hear whether the drouth has
been disastrous in Iowa, Illinois, In.
diana, Michigan and Wisconsin before
become really alarmed
The ruin Of the corn crop would be
g serious disaster, would it not?"
"The extent of such disaster" was
the reply, can be gathered when l
say that the corn crop is the first in
point Of total value in the United
States. From 1879 to 1900 the total
annual value of corn, based on farm
price on the frst of December of each
year, has ranged between $500,OOO,OOO
and s75O.OOO,OO0. Only once has 1t
fallen below the smaller number
while five times it has exceeded tho
larger. We supply about Is per cent
CT the worlds products"

SAN FRANCIsco, Cal, July 15.-The
attorneys of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, who
has been granted new trial by the
State Supreme Court on the charge OF
numbering Mrs. John p Dunning or
Delaware, are preparing to carry her
case to the United States Supreme
Court. They will file tomorrow
netition in the State court for writ
# habeas corpus. 1t is expected that
The application will be denied, in which
event the case will be carried to the
supreme Court of the United States on
I writ of error. In the petition for a
writ of habeas corpus two new points
on the question of jurisdiction will be
raised. First, that me sending Oh a
box of poisoned candy through the
rails which caused the death OF
Mrs. Dunning and her sister, Mrs
Deane. was not a crime in this State;
second, that the constitution of the
United States prohibits the trial OF
an accused person except in the State
where the crime was actually COM

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.

boldeu words Timely Spoken
Ex-Attorney General Wiley N.
Nash recently delivered an address at
the closing exercises of Maben High
School, in which he gave utterance to
the following timely words:
Some act as if they were ashamed
to work where they were born and
reared. Some sell out here for song
for scarcely enough to get away on
and leave the land Of their birth,
the home of their children, the graves
o. their loved ones, and go among
aliens and strangers, and there labor
hard for living the remainder of their
days
People of Mississippi, why not work
here? Happy homes, prosperous
farms and communities, fourishing
schools and churches, good society,
pleasant associations, independence,
and in many instances wealth-all, all
are here for you to enjoy and transmit,
or can be gained enjoyed and trans
mtted, as soon here as can be done,
nine times out of ten, in the places to
which you remove. If you are upright,
respectable and honorable, you have
better neighbors, truer friends and
brighter homes here than you will ever
have again. These are facts, and II
could but convince the sons and daugh-
ters of Mississippi Of these truths,
would not exchange the proud salts
faction which | should enjoy for all
the high honors in their gift"
If we may judge by the interest Of
the press in the subject, there is moth
ing going on of more moment to our
people at present than the terrible cat

few papers last week that did not con

ages of this awful disease. 1t Is liter
