DUB PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Those Who Viii Attend East Side
and Those Main Street Schools.

i
The public schools will open on the
22nd of September, so the board of
trustees decided at a meeting held
last night. 1t was intended that all
the children to and including the
seventh grade in the second and
third wards would attend the East
side school, but as that building will
not be completed in time 1T has been
decided to send the children of those
two wards up to and including
the fifth grade TO the East side
school, which will be taught in q
temporary building while the higher
grades in those wards will attend
Main street school until the East
side school building is completed.
All the students in wards one and
four will attend the Main street
school besides those from wards two
and three as stated above.
The number of educable children
in wards two and three is 4S4 and as
the temporary school building will
not accommodate but 100, it can
readily be seen why this order was
made by the board. The number of
educable children in wards one and
four is AS, showing that there is a
greater number Of educable children
to attend the East side school than
the Main street school.
Some time ago Mrs. Wilson Of
Brandon was elected as one of the
teachers and at the meeting Of the
board last night Miss Alma Austin
of HarpersvilIe was elected, thus
completing the list OF fifteen teach
ers including the superintendent.
1t will be seen by these figures that
Hattiesburg is to have fifteen teach
and 932 pupils, or at least that num-
Der of educable children in the city.
From all the information the Prog
ress can gather it is believed that the
schools this year will run nine
months instead Of only four or six as
heretofore.

PIGEON TURNED LOOSE.
Expected to Reach Warsaw, Ind,
This Evening.

This Evening.
r. Fl. GalceraE, agent for the South
ern Express Company, in this city,
turned loose a pigeon at sunrise this
morning which had been sent to him
for this purpose from Warsaw, mi.
The bird struck direct line for home
and is expected to reach there about 6
or O'Clock this afternoon.
The same pigeon has heretofore been
turned aloose In Tuscaloosa, Ala, and
made the trip on time.
1t was not what is commonly known
as a carrier pigeon, but is what is called
''homing" p!geon-one that strikes a
bee line for home and keeps on until it
gets there, though there seems TO be no
reason why a message could not be tied
around its neck and carried to its home.
Mr.. Galceran expects a telegram to be
sent to him az soon as the bird arrives
announcing the fact.

COURT MARTIAL.
One Will be Held in Hattiesburg
Soon.

Soon.
The Progress is informed that Ma
jor-General Billups announced at the
recent encampment that court
martial would be held in Hatties-
burg soon to try some Of the men,
bers of our local company for "leav-
ing post while On duty"
The offense charged is said to have
occurred on Sunday while the boys
were guarding the jail to protect
Walter Bankhead, the first negro ar
rested for the assault on Mrs. Gard
ner.
Some of the boys, it Is claimed,
left their post Of duty without per-
mission.
The trial would have occurred at
the encampment, but the young men
were not there and could not be tried
in their absence.
The court-martial, when held, Will
likely be composed of commissioned
officers from nearby towns.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.

The Progress again urges the board Of
mayor and aldermen to hurry up the
free mail delivery business, Owing 10
other business of pressing nature the
board may have overlooked this mat
ter, but the people are becoming little
impatient and hence renewed exertions
should be taken to put the work through
as quickly as possible. The people are
tired Of the way they are put to the in
convenience and trouble of getting their
mail and the fact that they have to
crowd through lot of negroes If they
get it at all. Let the board take up
the matter at the next meeting and at
least give the people some hope if pres
ent relief can not be given at once.

be made party to the suit.
The decision is a great appointment to

THE DUKE WAS TOO GAY.
Why Archducess Marie Annonciade
Broke the Engagement.

The recent announcement of the breaking
off of the engagement of the Archduchess
Marie Annonciade of Austria and Duke
Siegfried Of Bavaria was accompanied by
a statement emanating from the Bavarian
court that the betrothal was broken off by
agreement Of both parties, but it is very
well known in court society that the arch
duchess took the first step. She visited the
Bavarian court after the betrothal had been
arranged by her family and the dukes In
June, and had an opportunity to learn the
dukes habits and tastes. The archduchess
who Is a niece of the Emperor of Aus
trta, Is of a serious meditative disposition.
She Is religiously inclined, Is interested in
education and is abbess of an institution of
young noblewomen in Prague. The many
unhappy marriages in her family doubtless
determined her to avoid a mistake If pos
Sibe.
1t is said the duke was positively repul-
sive to her. He visited Vienna at her re-
quest two days ago and she appealed to
him, without consulting her family, to
break the engagement, and he did so with
out taking counsel Of his family. The
duke is the nephew of the late Empress
Elizabeth of Austria, is twenty-six years
old, the same age as the archduchess. is
volatile and fond of sports and high living.

Celebrating the Conclusion Of Peace in
South Africa

The corporation of the city of London
celebrated the conclusion Of peace in South
Africa last night with reception In the
Guild Hall. rendered jointly to Lord Rob-
erts. commander-in-chiefo of the forces, and
Lord Kitchener. Both guests were pre-
sented with addresses commemorating their
distinguished war services. and, in the case
of Lord Kitchener. paying especial tribute
to his conduct Of the negotiations which
led to the surrender of the Beers.
The address to Lord Roberts was in
closed in a golden jeweled casket, elabor-
ately designed. At the request of Lord
Kitchener. silver plate service was sub
stituted for the gold casket intended for
him.
Lord Roberts, responding to the presenta-
tion speech, made by Sir Joseph c. Doms-
dale, lord mayor of London, paid a tribute
to Lord Kitchener as "the general whose
guidance had brought the war to its sue
cessful conclusion"
Lord Kitchener. IN turn alluded to Lord
Roberts as the lever victorious field mar

troops who fought in South Africa. Twen-

STRATEGIC RAILROAD.
Significance of the Line Through Bag
dad to Persian Gulf.

From the New York Sun
No political event of the past few months
has attracted so much interest abroad as
the decision to build the railroad through
Bagdad to the Persian gulf which is des-
tined to become one of the most important
lines Of modern times, forming as 1t does
a continuation of the Asia Minor railroad
on the one hand, and resting on the Persian
gulf on the other. The great commercial
value of this road is undoubted, but It
also has a military significance which is
very far reaching.
Great Britain, by .her possession of the
Suez canal. controls a great part of the
worlds lines of Communication, and the
fortified position of Alden, at the mouth
of the Red sea, secures her the strategic
preponderance in the orient, which may
become of great importance in any serious
conflict with another great nation.
But glance at the map will convince
any one that if the Persian gulf Is In the
possession of another power and the Bag
dad railroad opens new lines OF transporta-
ton between the west and the east the
commercial Importance of Great Britain as
well as her military strength In Asia will
be seriously affected. Strategically all the
British possessions in the Red sea and on
the Suez canal will be in danger of being
readily turned.
Recognizing this fact. Great Britain has
for years been endeavoring to obtain pre-
vi VI. N.
Curzon, before he became viceroy of India
in his work on Persia, expressed this feel
ing In words that admit of no misunder-
standing, holding that a Russian port in
the Gulf of Persia would be just cause of
war, and the British minister who would
agree to the ceSsion of such a port to Rus
sia would betray the British empire.
If England had possession of Koweit at
the northern extremity of the Persian gulf
the terminus of the projected Bagdad rail-
road, she could control the railroad not
only in a commercial sense, but also from
military point of view. At present Turkey
possesses the military advantages of this
road, In that she could rapidly concentrate
her troops. scattered over Mesopotamia and
the Taurus, for a war either in Europe
or in Asia. But if England succeeded in
establishing herself at Koweit these ad-
vantages would be lost to Turkey. for Eng
land would soon secure other points along
the road. as at Bagdad, at Biredjk (on the
Euphrates) and at Adana, thus establish
Ing permanent influence over these points
of support, not only in a commercial sense
but also Strategically.
