The Wise Boss.

The notorious boss Of the notorious
gang after boosting other men into
Office for years, determined to become
q member of congress himself and get
the first whack at the perqulsites in
stead Of coming in on the second deal.
Accordingly he called the gang to-
gether and made public his decision.
"But the public knows you are a
crook, that you have no conscience,
that you are in politics only for the
graft and that you are always in the
Market" said a subordinate gangster.
"How can you expec. to get enough
votes to elect your"
That's dead easy" replied the boss.
"Of course we can control the pri-
maries because majority of the vot.
ers in this district take no part in
them. That means we can secure con.
troll of the convention and give me the
nomination, ehp"
Yes, but after the nomination
what thenP"
Easy enough. Wen tell 'em they
must vote for me If they want t
hold up the hands OF the president
See?"
There was no answering the argu
ment. hence the gang went out ant
whooped it up for the boss. The result
proved that the boss knew q thing O
two about practical politics."

NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
But Well Posted Men in London Ex-
press the Belief
That Everything is Now Over But
the SAouting-Efect on
Stock Exchange.

London, May 23.-The Associated
Press has every reason to believe
that peace in South Africa is practi-
cally secured. How soon it will be
announced depends, apparently more
upon the convenience of the Boer
leaders than upon the inclination Of
the British government. The pri-
vate and official odvices received to-
night in London from South Africa
all point to the same conclusion.
The Boer leaders are unable to con
vince all their followers of the wis
dom of acquiescing to the terms of
peace.
The surmise of one we'll Informed
person places the sum total OF the de-
alterations of the cabinet ministers
today at Il decision regarding the
points of the peace agreement of en-
tlrely minor Importance. Another
surmise Is that The cabinet has mere
~ sent n rather mock ultimatum to
South Africa which can be used by
the Boer lenders i'm explanation to
their forces.
Were the Beers disciplined force,
dependent. upon the action of their
general officers, peace probably
would be proclaimed tonight. Botha,
Dewet and the other generals seem
themselves unable to positively guar
antee the degree to which their ex-
ample will be followed.
The delegates at Vereeningen, ac-
cording to information in possession
of the war office, are fairly evenly di-
vided. Consequently extreme pre-
cautiens are exercised both in Lon
don and Pretoria to prevent any pre-
mature action or report which might
adversely influence the burghers.
A member of the house of COM
mons, who is in close touch with the
government, said to representative
of the Associated Press tonight that
he believed everything was settled,
and the British terms would be found
unexpectedly liberal.
The Stock Exchange throughout
the day was q seething mass of brok-
ers who eagerly bought South Afri-
can shares, while in London, after
the closing of the exchange, nearly a
thousand brokers crowded TArog-
morton street, and did a frantic curb
business on the strength of the peace
outlook.

Hattiesburg. Miss May "a, 1902.
EDITOR PROGRESS:
In the columns of your paper of the
goth instant, l noticed that Mr.. Chris.
n. Jackson had my name in the letter
written by him before he took the ''fatal
dose. saying that had led him astray.
Now want to say tbis-that | never
was the cause of doing him any rash act
or going astray at all
c. H. and | worked at the same place,
and / have brought him to the front in
the lumber business, and thought as
much of him as father would of his
son; md how he ever got under the i'm
preston that l was the cause of him
/ leading a hard life, l can't understand,
and no one else can that knew US both.
But l will say this: That have called
him down about smoking so many cigar
cites, and if he would not quit then he
would lose his mind, for he has talked
at random several times. And if he
had any trouble on his mind at all am
sure l am not the cause of it.
He has told me that he had some
trouble some where which has weighed
heavy on his mind ever since he started
to work under me at the mill.
Very truly.

A MISSOURI WEDDING.
How the Editor of a Local Paper
Wrote it UP.

Wrote it up.
This is the way the editor of the Pal
myra, Mo, Spectator writes up a wed
ding in that town according to his own
convictions:
Willie Shcrtlike and Bette Boomers
were married at the church last even
ing. The church was prettily decorated
with flowers and potted plants, borrow
ed promiscuoEsly over town of the reo-
pie VIII didn't want to lend them. The
decoration was done under protest by
some of tie ladies of the church who
were asked to 10 so by the bride and
they couldn't we'll refuse. The ladies
are of the opinion that il the couple
were so bent on having Il stylish we'd
ding they should have been willing 10
have paid some one else to chase all over
town for a day getting flowers and then
taking them home again. The bride
wore handsome gown, made ~ home
and the groom was diked out in ten
dollar hand me- down suit. The u5bers
wore cutaway suits, borrowed for the
occasion. SalGe Potts was maid of hon
or and the concensus of opinion WAS
that she was TWO to one better looking
than the bride. The coupls took the
morning train to st. Louis, where they
will spend more money in a few days
than Willie can earn in three months.
Willie says now he's married and he is
going to settle down. Some of our mer-
chants think it would have been better
for him to have settled up first. The
groom gets salary of twenty seven
dollars month, which is about the al
lowance Bette has been used to for pir
money. We wish for Willie's sake thai
the old saying that it takes no more t.
support two than one wasn't lie
The bride sert rs shoe box full of {
conglomeration of stuff supposed to b'
cake. If this is sample of Bette:
cooking we feel sorry for poor Willie
Our janitor's dog fell heir to the cake
and now he's lying in the cold ground
But this wedding is none OF our funeral
re Willie and Bette are satisfied we'y,
no kick coming.

THE MAYORS COURT.

The mayer bad very good court
this morning and with the fines and
trimmings neat little sum was
taken in over the marshaI's counter.
The first case was that of Stella
Finley, a black brute of the Back
Bay. Stella had been fighting and
was hauled up before his honor to
give an account Of the difficulty and
incidentally TO contribute small
sum. The mayor firmly but politely
asked her to pay a fine of three
dollars and a half aud the trimmings
Then here came two white women
charged with the indecent aud
immodsst act of fighting. One is
named Fannie Pool and the other
Belle Easterling, and they are by no
means angels on earth. They hated
very much that they had to answer
to the charge of fighting, which is SO
unlady-like, and if the police had not
asked them to come before his honor
in all probability they would not
have paid that distinguished gentle
man visit. But not only that they
paid $3.50 each and the costs. This
amount would have bought snuff
and beer for q long time.
Emma Houze, colored niger
woman, was called on by the mayor
to pay $3.50 for cursing in public
place and before one or more wit
nesses. "Thou shalt not swear"
happened not to impress her as being
the proper thing for a colored lady
to adopt as a means Of making a
better citizen of herself On the con-
trary she could see no reason why 1t
did not give force to her words. And
the mayor thought $3.50 and the
costs would also give more force to
the municipal government and help
to buy the policemen straw hats for
the summer months, and he assessed
her with that sum.
1t is very cold day in May when
some one is not engaged in Hatties-
burg at night playing cards or throw
ing the bones. Frank Rogers
thonghtit would never do to allow
these national games to lag, and so
he got up one the other night when
the police hauled him in and carried
him up to the mayors office. There
was no way to get out of it and he
was fined $3.50 and the perquisites.
Jim Brown, failing to pay his
street tax was fined So. But this
sum does not go on the payment OF
Jim's street tax. That he will have
to pay in addition to the IS. jim
thought paying street tax was some
thing like vsting-if he did not
register to pay street tax he did not
have to pay it, so he keptson wearing
out the streets with his heels with.
out paying in cent to have then
repaired.
