The Methodist Meeting Closes,

The protracted meeting which was
continued through seventeen days at
the Methodist church closed on Sun
day night last. The house could not
hold all who wished to attend on this
occasion. After an effective sermon
by DR.. PEBBLES the pastor announced,
with expressions of gratitude, that 50
names had been added to the church
roll and that there had been in the
neighborhood of 10 conversions during
the meeting. He also stated that since
January 1st, total of SO members had
been received into the church.
DR.. J. A. Bowen, of Tupelo, who ably
assisted in the early part of the meet
ing, and Dr. l. L. PEBBLES, of Wesson,
who so conscientiously proclaimed the
Word during the latter part, will long
be remembered By our church going
people. Their prayers will rise like
fountain for them day and night
and, we doubt not, will be reciprocated
by these consecrated men of God.

Bob TaylOr'S ElOUuence.

The following is Bob Taylor's apos-
trophe to sunrise, which is being pub
lished in many newspapers:
81 saw the morning with the purple
culver and FURNISHED bow stand tiptoe
on the horizon and shoot sunbeams at
the vanishing night, and then reach up
and gather the stars and hide them in
her bosom, and bend down and tickle
the slumbering world with straws of
light until it awoke with laughter and
song
"A thousand bugle calls from the
rosy fire of the east heralded her COM
ing; thousand smiling meadows kiss
ed her garments as she passed, and
10000 laughing gardens unfurled their
fiowery flags to her. The heart of the
deep forests throbbed a tribute of bird
song, and the bright water rippled q
melody of welcome. Youth and love
radiant with joy came hand in hand
tripping and dancing in her shining
train, and wished that the heaven Of
morning might last forever"

London, June lit is reported here
that j. Pierpont Morgan is engaged in
arranging for the establishment of q
great Anglo American bank with a
capital of $1,000. 900, 600. It is proposed
to abolish all Of the principal financial
agencies and banks already engaged in
Anglo American business.
The proposed institution is said to be
intended to be the principal agency for
the already vast and rapidly growing
banking transactions between Europe
and America. Mr.. Morgan is under
stood to have associated with him in
the stupendous undertaking not only
the principal capitalists who aided In
the organization of the 81 200, GOO, 900
steel trust, but also the Kothschilds.
1t is said that Mr.. Morgan has had in
mind for considerable period the Gre

which would dominate not only the
banking business passing to and fro
between America and Europe, but
would practically dictate the financial
operations of the world.

MAX REGIS WOUNDED.
Notorious Anti-semite Worsted in Duel
To Fight Again.

4
Paris, June 1.-THE dual with swords
which was begun yesterday between
Max Regis, anti-Semite mayor of AL
giers and NJ. Laberdesque. the Algerian
Journalist, was resumed this morning.
Regis was seriously wounded in the
forearm. The duel was therefore
stopped. The seconds subsequently be-
came involved In lively alteration
which will possibly lead to another
duel.
The duel today lasted only few sec
onds. Laberdesque, who is fine
swordsman, yesterday confined himself
to defense, but this morning, after a
half dozen passes he lunged and picked
Regis in the right forearm. The latter
wished to continue the duel, but the
seconds refused to let the fight con-
tinue.
A quarrel then broke out among the
seconds and several spectators. Several
challenges were exchanged. Finally
friends succeeded in leading away
Regis, who was furious over the sec
onds' decision. Before he left the
ground Regis shouted to Laberdesque:
fought you to show am not afraid
of your sword. You are nevertheless
an assassin. =
Laberdesque promptly retorted, ask
ing the seconds to arrange another
duel.
Two other duels are also promised in
connection with the affair, one between
Malato, and journalist named Leroy,
and the other between Laberdesque' s
secretary. M. Brescher, and g journals
& list named Gaucher.

Pittsburg, June 11.--Major w. Fl.
DAILY, surgeon general on the staff of
Lieutenant General Miles, in Porto
Rico, committed suicide at his home
yesterday by shooting himself In the
right temple.
The body of the doctor vas found in
the bath room by Miss Mary Short, the
housekeeper, lying in a pool of blood,
with a 3S-caliber revolver lying on the
floor. DR.. Foster, who was summoned
at once, found the bullet hole in the
temple, and announced that death had
taken place several hours before. Miss
Short then remembered hearing sharp
report about 1880 a. M, but thought it
was the quick closing of a window by
some one.
No cause IS known for DR.. Daly's
deed, unless 1t be that insomnia drove
him to temporary insanity. For some
time past he has been unable to sleep
regularly, and it is thought that after
a sleepless night he concluded to end
all.
The doctor was n widower and leaves
no immediate family. He was SO years
old. and for many years has been
prominent in medical circles. He gain
ed international prominence during the
CUBAN war.
