We copy and heartily indorse the fol-
lowing from the Yazoo Sentinel;
1.-THE last statement of the Jackson
Bank shows individual deposits of
nearly million dollars. The Mer-
chants and Capital State, both of the
same city, show deposits of s421, 900 and
$500 600 respectively. Here is nearly
100000 lying idle in the three banks
of Jackson that ought to be employed
in some kind of manufacturing enter
prises. A big cotton mill could be built
in jackson by using only n part of this
idle capital, and it would prove big
paying investment. The same is true,
in lesser degree, of almost every town
in Mississippi. 1t is not SO much the
capital that is lacking as the pluck and
confidence to employ the idle funds al
ready on hand" =
Had the ''individual deposits subject
to check" in the First National Bank at
jackson been included IL would have
increased the idle capital several hun
dred thousand dollars more. This
bank does not report TO the State Au'
ditor, but to the Comptroller OF the
Currency in Washington. 1t Is some
comfort to know that Mississippians
have so much cash, and that IT is Sub
ject to check"

ODD ENGAGEMENT RINGS.

by one woman whose tastes run to the
bizarre and antique.
Another iron ring was a section cut
from the barrel Of pistol which was
family heirloom and had figured In
more than one affair Of honor.
A black pearl surrounded by tiny
white pearls was given to another wo-
man who scorned superstition. Pearls
mean tears in the lore Of gems.
Opals. which used to be considered
unlucky for engagement rings, are now
coming into favor. One superstition
defying lover had Is Of these milk and
fire gems set into ring for his fiancee.
Another beautiful and unique en-
gagement ring is a large pink pearl
surrounded by diamonds. When the
bride to be saw this. her superstltions
vanished forthwith. and 1t Is her boast
that she has never wept since 1t was
first put on her finger.
One young man recently had ring
made out Of a horseshoe for the girl Of
his choice. He had long owned the
horseshoe and, believing it had brought
him good luck, thought bit of the iron
made into a ring would be q happy
omen for the engagement.

Kwnnr su Invited to pekin.

Pekin. April 15.-Koumar Youtaro,
the Japanese minister. accompanied by
General iamaguchi, the Japanese COM
mander. recently called upon Prince
Ching and notified him that the return
urgently desired. Prince Ching was in
formed that the Emperor's wishes
would be respected by the foreign rep
resentatives. ana that every courtesy
would be shown him.
1t was pointed out to the Chinese
plenipotentary that the Emperor's re-
turn was of the highest possible inn
portance as affecting the maintenance
of the integrity of the Chinese empire,
and that he should come accompanied
by every available soldier, by at least
10000 men, If possible.
These troops, it was further contend
ed by the Japanese minister, must be
sent into Manchuria, rs the Russians
reported great disturbances there and
it was not right that the task of quell-
ing the trouble should be thrown upon
the shoulders of one nation. Finally
Prince Ching was assured that If the
10000 Chinese troops could not sup
press the disorders in Manchuria other
powers would send an International
force to- cooperate with China. which
all the powers regarded as n friendly
power.
No reply having been received to this
communication, Lii Hung Chang was
to-day notified to the same effect and
told that Emperor Kwang Su must
give an immediate answer.

Among the old letters addressed to
George Washington, now collected in
the State Department library, is one
from lady who writes in the post
script that she is sorry not to be able
to use note-paper worthy of his royal
station, but had she used gold that
would have required an outer wrapper
and it would have been too much to
ask one in his position to open two
wrappers in order to get at SO unwor-
thy note as her own. This polite
speech suggests that even in paving
compliments there are fashions" as
in other things. 1t is not certain.
however, that the letter to Washing
ton typifies the fashion of that day
Doubtless President Mckinley would
be greatly surprised to find such n
compliment in a letter addressed to
him, and perhaps General Washington
himself was surprised and amused by
his effusive correspondent. The things
done in Jest or in eccentricity in one
generation are oftea taken as wholly
serious by those who read of them IN
a later one.

A Thrilling Accident.

Lake City, Colo. April 14.-(Denver
Republican Special.)-While strolling
with some other children yesterday af-
tornoon on top of the cliff Overshadow-
ing Bluff street, little Irene Parker,
about six year sold. slipped and slid
down n very steep place and lodged on
a rock about n foot square.
She screamed and attracted the at
tcntiOn of the neighborhood. Men Sc
cured ropes and quickly rode on
horses to the top of the cliff, and Rob-
ert Taylor was lowered with rope
and rescued the child. who was unin-
jured. But for the little rock on which
she lodged she would have fallen 200
feet. The entire town turned out and
watched, breathless, lest she should
move or grow dizzy and fall.
