MISSISSIPPI was the second State to
secede from the Union, or rather TO try to,
and it was the home of JEFF. Davis. 1t is
quite comforting to know, therefore, that
the Director of the Mississippi Historical
Department has, in the name of the State,
invited Robert L. Lincoln to place the
portrait of his illustrious father in the
new Capitol of Mississippi, and this invi-
tation is being generally approved of by
the leading Southern newspaEers.

or course the disbursement of pensions
to war veterans amounts in the aggregate
to some hundreds Of millions Of dollars.
But in this disbursement We make but
poor stagger Mt repaying them for what,
they earned for their country and their

wedding out the useless Eaters FROM the
Army-Departure Of 10000 Negroes From
Wilmington.
Though everybody, particularly 81 and
Shorty, wanted to lie long the next morn
ing, and think over their letters-perhaps
slip them out and furtively read them over
again-bugles and Orderly Sergeants were
very insistent, and all had to get up
promptly to roll-call. The risor of regu-
lar military discipline was resumed.
The boys arose, attended to their horses,
and after breakfast, when the rest of the
company were policing the camp, they
rode over to the Adjutant's tent for Or
derS.
Great Scott, just look at Adj" ex-
claimed 81. as they approached regimental
headquarters. Have you piece of
smoked glass with you, Shorty? He's
most too fine to be looked at with the
naked eye"

PAYNE FAMILY IS
GUARANTEED AT HOME

On account of the tender age of the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Payne ON
Twentv-firSt street, who was found to
be suffering with smallpox Saturday,
the health department concluded not
to remove the patient to the isola-
tiOn hospital, but 20 quarantine the
entire family at home. The prospects
are that the family will be isolated
for n period of four or five weeks and
possibly more if another membeS
takes the disease. If there ware an
isolation hospital this condition OF
affairs could he very materially i'm
proved upon. This matter will be up
before the health committee If the
city council, which meets again This
evening.
The i''ness of Mar Marks. servant
at the David Don home. aroused some

NO TRAINS MOVE.
Strike of Flremen on Texas-Mexican
 Is Effectual.

Laredo, Tex, October 10.-The strike of the Texas-Mexican railroad and the National railroad fremen is still on, and, with one exception, not a wheel has turned over either road out of the city. Passengers from the north remain around the hotel corri- dors. anxiously asking when a train will move in the direction of the land beyond the Rio Grande. The officials are as yet unable to give the desired information.
 It was announced today that the officials of the road are determined to fight the strike to the end.
 In response to a request sent to Governor Savers asking that state rangers be sent to this city, the gov ernor sent Adjt. Thomas Scully with party of rangers to this city, the party arriving today. United States Marshal William Halson also arrived. and he, together with the adjutant and rangers, viii take the situation in hand at once and afford the rail- road all assistance necessary to the protection of --s property. MT. Han son Is here at the request of Attorney General Knox to investigate the strike, but will take no action beyond pro- tecting the United States mails.

FOOD vs. RECREATION. Good Food of the Greatest importance

There Is really no need to go away for rest if one will take scientihcally-m made food that rebuilds the nerve centers end makes work a comfort and pleasure.
 One of our prominent novelists was sent to Colorado. |" Ride every day, sleep in tent, eat when you are hungry my physician told me. But sfood did not satisfy me and rest would not end the fatigue that had me in it's grip, was a mere machine-eating sleeping, walk ing. riding, but unequal to a days work and with no zest for the days pleasure.
 At the lowest ebb of strength and courage my eye fell on piece of news paper with which my guide was making camp fire and picked 1t up and read. 'Grape-Nuts a Food for Brain and Nerve Centers. read on; 1t seemed to be a description of my own case cured by diet of Grape-Nuts. sent for a supply of the fooo by the next pack train that left my camp. It came. forty-five miles from tho nearest settlement, on a bur without cream, milk or sugar. It tasted good. felt that for the first time in six months I had been fed.
 T went to my bed of pine boughs, slept like a tired child and woke rested. Then l knew that had found what needed. better than new sky, better than exer- else, better than rest, because lacking the food that exhausted nature was crying for. these things could not help me.

HURTS cLoAkMAKERs.
If Coal Strike Continues 25,ooo Cannot
 Work on Garments.

New York. October lo.-If the miners strike continues a few days longer, says the Tribune. paralysis of the garment and cloak industry, one of the greatest sources of employment on the East Side, may be expected. One of the most con- servative members of the Garment Mak- CTS union, who has been for many years associated with that industry, Is quoted to the effect that ten days more of the strike will mean the throwing out of work of at least 2500O.
 This would be caused by the inability of the pressers to get coal or other fuel with which to heat their irons. A good deal of the pressing is done in the tenements. Women and children do a considerable share of it. and the margin Of profit is so small that the cost of changing to an other mode of heating Is declared to be out of the question.
 Inhabitants of this city are now feeling the first touch of cold weather. At o'clock this morning the temperature was 46 degrees above. a drop of N degrees since 1:so p. m. Thursday and 8 degrees cooler than at midnight.
