The executive committee of the Mis-
sissippi Good Roads Association ad
journed without taking any final action
in the preparation of new road law to
be presented to the next session of the
Legislature. The draft of a measure
prepared by Major T. G. Dabney, a
well-known civil engineer of Vicks
burg, was presented aud favorably re-
ceived by the members of the commit.

AN OVATION
To a Gifted, Young and Beau
tiful MiSSiSSiDDi Woman.

The following which is clipped from
the Clarion Ledger, will give some
thing of an idea of the tribute paid the
young lady named, on her recent visit
to this State:
The city is filled today with young
folks from the surrounding towns who
have come to Jackson for the purpose
of witnessing the Nathan Hale per-
formance at the Century theater to-
night, in which Miss Nancy Rice, a
charming little lady who was born and
reared in Clinton, is to take a promi-
nent part. Almost the entire student
body of the Mississippi and Hillman
colleges are here from Clinton, accom-
panied by good portion of the popu-
lation of that little community, and
| there is also notably large number of
visitors from Bolton, Edwards, Ray
mond, lazoo City, Pocahontas, Flora
and other places. The audience at the
Century to night will, therefore, be
much in the nature of personal trib-
nte to Miss Rice, and it is understood
that she will be the recipient of pro-
courtesies during and after the per-
formance.
Miss Rice also appeared with the
Nathan Hale Company at Vicksburg,
where she was received with enthusi-
asm. She is niece of Mrs. Adelia NJ.
Hillman, of Clinton; and, like Joan of
Arc, followed "the voices" that came
to her in the choosing of her path in
life. From a little child her talents
and graces of mind and person pointed
the way to the brilliant triumphs that
have attended her in the dramatic
field. 1t will be of interest to the most
disinterested to know that Miss Rice
will retire from the stage at the close
of the present theatrical season, for no
other reason than the most natural
and womanly one. With brilliant
prospects of all the world at her feet,
she chooses rather to reign the queen of
one heart, to whom she has pledged
her beautiful self and all the rich
treasures of her natural endowments
and acquisitions. Miss Rice is not yet
20 years of age. May the union be one

LONG DISTANCE WEEPING.
Costly Consolation for Foster Sis
ters Long Separated,

A very affecting incident occurred in
this city few days ago, which Incl
dentally proved expensive to the man
who brought it about.
\ number of years ago two little
girls in this city were left orphans,
and though i'll no way related, We're
by chance brought up and kindly car
ed for by the same person. y strong
affection grew up between the two
girls, which was warmer from the
fact that neither had any parents or
brothers and sisters to lavish their
affections upon, and their love grew
and strengthened as they came to
womanhood. Finally some turn of
the wheel of fortune separated them.
One remained III Portland and in due
time was happily married. The 9th
er went away up country and final
ly was also happily married. An in
innate correspondence was kept up
between the two for a few years, but
was finally dropped owing to changes
of location, and years passed without
either seeing or hearing of the other
a short time ago the one living in
Portland heard that the other with her
husband, had taken up her residence
in town only one hundred miles or
so from this city. A great desire to
see the old and dear friend came over
her, and she could not eat or sleep on
account of it. Circumstances render
ing it impracticable that she should
go on a journey at the time, her hus-
band suggested that she have talk
with her friend over the long distance
telephone.
He rang up the distant city and
called for his wife's friend, and after
reasonable time was notified that
she was at the phone. He then call
ed his wife to talk to her and the fol-
lowing conversation took place:
SIS that you, Sadie?'
Eyes, is that you, Susie.
Eyes"
Then both began crying for joy, and
kept it up for half an hour or more,
without being able to say word.
The unfortunate man who had arrang
ed the interview, seeing that his bill
was amounting up into the hundreds
and bid fare to continue to mount IN
definitely called it off for the time and
the two friends continued to cry with
out expense. A meeting between the
two friends has been arranged for, as
neither of their husbands is willing
TO take the chances of financial ruin
by allowing them to tackle the long

COLON QUIET.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. %. - The
city of Colon was perfectly quiet all
yesterday and last night. 1t is claim
ed in behalf of the liberals there has
been no unseemly behavior. Foreign
ers are being respected and protected
and transit across the isthmus is un-
interrupted. The postotfice, prefec-
ture and all other government offices
and nearly all commercial houses
were closed yesterday. Col. Bar
rora admits the government troops here
numbered little less than 1870 men.
1t was first reported twelve or more
men had been killed and about thirty
had been wounded but the bodies of
more dead men have since been dis
covered The inspector of customs es-
capped on an outgoing steamer. Sew
eral prisoners who were captured by
the liberals have since been released.
Gen. Baldana commands 200 liberal
troops at Gatun Railroad station
about six miles from Colon. The lib
erals claim to be in possession of all
the railroad stations between Colon
and Las Cascades, which is nearer to
Panama than to Colon. Both sides
use Remingtons and Mausers. The
former caused high death rate.
The treasury safe was opened Thurs
day afternoon in the presence of Wit
nesses. 1t was found to contain l,0S0
Colombian dollars, equivalent TO 500
gold. The former postmaster also
handed over to the liberals the cash
and postage stamps in his possession,
The municipal offices in charge of the

day. The United States guuboat

TROOPS CALLED.

Sofia, Nov. 20.-Mr. Dickinson, the
United States diplomatic agent here, has,
it is said, informed the government of
Bulgaria that the abductors of Miss Ellen
NJ. Stone and Madame Tsilka, with their
captives are concealed in defle of the
Belleritza mountains, near Smotchno dis
trict of Dubnitza, and has requested
that troops be sent to surround the place
and liberate the captives.
Both MIR. Dickinson and the Bulgarian
foreign office decline to confirm or deny
this report. Nevertheless, it is believed
that Mr.. Dickinson, persuaded of the i'm
possibility of coming to terms with the
brigands, and relying upon his belief that
they will not harm their captives if troops
are employed against them, has, after
consulting with Washington, decided
upon this move. Only eight bandits now
guard Miss Stone and some of these are
known to sympathize with her
About a fortnight ago Mr.. Dickinson
approached the foreign office and pro-
posed this same plan, but its carrying out
was abandoned because of the uncertainty
of the location of the bandits.
London, Nov 2o.-A Dalziel despatch
from Sofa, Bulgaria, credits a Macedo-
man priest with reporting that Peka Pa
sha, chief of her captors, is enamored of
Miss Stone, the American missionary.
Peka wishes to marry her but Miss Stone
declines to have anything to do with
Peka.

the quartet and certain streets for an
hour and half the liberals gained
possession of all the public offices and
the town of Colon The project of

men were killed and about thirty
wounded.
On receipt of the news that Gen.
Alban, the commander of the isthmus,
had started to attack the liberals at
Chorrcra, near Panama, the latter de-
tached 100 men under Gen. Patino, to
attack Colon. This force embarked
ON board train bound from Panama
to Colon, previously cutting the tele
graph communication across the 18TH
mus. On arriving at the outskirts of
Colon where the government usual
ly maintained a small guard the libcr-
ais left the train and in the initial
skirmish which began soon after
wards, Patino was killed. The com
mand of the liberals then devolved ON

The issue now depends entirely on
the result of the fighting which is
doubtless now occurring at Chorrera,
news of which is anxiously awaited
here. The liberals are now busy rails

reported to have several hundred men
at different railroad stations between
here and Panama. The United States

Washington, Nov. 2l.-The opinion

Colon and that the Colombian flag
will float through the entire. section.
Gen. Alban is now on the way with
1900 men. Capt. Perry, command

LEGAL STRUGGLE

The removal on Thursday of the
body of Rev. Father Thomas Lynch
from Fair Haven to Hollywood Gene
terry, Boston, marks the close of sew
eral bitter legal actions between
Bishop Michaud of Burlington and a
prominent Catholic priest of Boston.
Father Lynch died in August, 1899,
and his body was buried in the church
yard at Fair Haven. There have
since been several law suits over the
right to erect a monument over his
grave and regarding the removal of
the body from the local cemetery
Last year a nephew, Rev. Gerald
Pagan of Boston, ordered and paid for
a monument which is still in the pos
session of Hallehan Brothers of Cen
ter Rutland but which was intended
to be erected over Father Lynch
grave in Fair Haven. Bishop Mi
chaud, however, prevented this being
done by legal action and also the re-
moval of the body from the cemetery.
Father Pagan in return brought suit
to enjoin the bishop from interfering
in the matter After hearing in
the last suit Bishop Michaud agreed
to allow the removal of the body from
the cemetery provided it was taken
from the state. Father Pagan tried
to have the body buried at Rutland
but the Bishop prevented this and it
was finally necessary to remove it
from the State.

ANNEX CUBA.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 22.-Gov-
emor General Wood and his party left
Monday night on the government
yacht Kanawha for Guantanamo,
where Gen. Wood inspected the troops
on Thursday. The Kanawha was
compelled to return to the harbor on
account of the rough sea outside but
left few hours later
An enormous amount of work was
accomplished by Gen Wood during
his stay here He inspected the de-
tails of every department and ordered
many public improvements. He said
he thought Cuba was destined to be
annexed eventually to the United
States on account of the economical
condition existing as the sugar and
tobacco industries of the island would
be unable to prosper to so great an
extent in competition with the indus
tries of Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the
Philippines as they would by annexa-
ton accomplished with the will of
the Cuban people. He pointed out also
that the United States government
had guaranteed a stable government
for Cuba, thing which it would be
impossible to maintain without pros
perity and he declared that the United
States would be morally bound to an
mex Cuba if solicited to do so by the
insular republic.
Gen. Wood will return to Havana,
visiting all the ports on the north
coast and then go to Washington to
endeavor to secure an amendment to
the tariff schedule affecting sugar
and tobacco, which he says he re-
CARDS as absolutely necessary.
