A New School of Realism.

Ida Conquest has had a humorous ex-
perience during the present tour Of The
Two Schools" 1t was at the railroad
station Of a New England town. the
morning after Thanksgiving. The com
pany had played 10 the limit of the
house, and Miss Conquest had appeared
as usual as a Jealous young wife who
gets a divorce from her husband and
then trys 10 find a man who will an her

her awakened affection for her former
husband. and their happy reunion.
T. was noised abroad somehow that
The Two Schools" had something TO do
with school life-where boys Of the
Hans, Fritz. and Buster types played
hide and seek with the teacher. Among
those who had formed this idea Of the
play was an old lady in the country who
had never visited theater in her life.
She arranged TO eat her Thanksgiving
dinner with relative fin town and then
take her favOrite nephew and niece to
the "theater shop" Her state Of mind
over her mistake can be judged by the
following speech-it cannot be called
conversation, as Mss Conquest could
not get in a word eCceways-o
by her chance recognition OF Miss Con-
quest. as with the other members OF the
company the actress awaited the train
fer the next stand:
SO. you're the woman, ma a'ami What
nice carrying on, when 1 went to see a
school party! You made a fine muddle
OF things by your jealous fits and ofhsh
airs. Any sensible woman could see from
the start that YOU were TO blame. But
nowadays girls marry. and are all fuss
and feathers, with common sense gone
10 the wash. No. you needn't get Of
Tended, Miss. for it's the truth. and I'm
goln to speak my mind. a girl Of sense
in your place wouldn't mind havin' her
husband admired by other women. bur
she would take mighty good care that
she knew how 70 make him admire her
above any OF them.
Now II you had only spent a quarter
OF the time that you lost in Matching
your jealousy, in thinking how you could
make him see yos as the only one among
them all, he wouldn't have trotted Of
with that bold-faced huzzy and fretted
your old mother nigh TO death. Your
father had no sympathy Of mine. for he's
old enough to know that aged dogs
should stay 20 hum and do their barkin'.
But where's your young man? / want
10 see him"
The burst Of laughter which greeted
this was too much for Miss Conquest,
who retreated through the friendly door
Of the baggage room.
We'll. we'll, what huffy things girls be
nowadays" said the old lady as her eyes
followed the actress. "I wouldn't be
heavily surprised to hear that she'd gone
and done the same thing TO that husband
OF hers again"

Rhodes Error.

Since the death of Cecil Rhodes we
have been told that he summed up
his religious belief in the Latin word
"agnosco," 81 don't know" This
goes to show that Rhodes was de-
cidedly shaky in his Latin; for the
word "Agnoseo' does not mean 4
don't know 1t means exactly the
opposite, namely, Il know well. y
Prof. Huxley, who invented the
word sagnosco, +" did not get it from
the Latin, but from the Greek. 1t
was suggested to him by an inscrip-
ton on monument "agnosto theo.
Ito the unknown god.'' This error
of the empire builder serves to illus
trate the curious 2eryersity If words.
In Greek, for instance, "agneeo'
means "I don't know while in
Latin 'sagnosco" means 81 know
WE'LL" The difference is accounted
for by the fact in Greek .'an is a
negative prefix, while in Latin il
serves to intensity. 1t seems a great
pity that after considering the ques,
tion for many years Cecil Rhode.
went to his last resting place, not
knowing the meaning OF the very
word which he used to define hi
belief. Commercial Appeal.

THIS LABEL ON GARMENTS
Unfortunate, if True.

Over In Meridian it is SAID that the
contractors and builders are dis
eliminating against the white car
penters in the matter of having build
ing operations carried on, and in
consequence quite number of most
excellent and worthy mechanics are
idle, though there is much doing and
to be done. If this state of affairs
actually exists it is decidedly unfor-
tunate for the white workmen and
wholly discreditable to the progress
sive and energetic city of the
Mighty East"
If discrimination should be p.ac-
ticed in this regard in any southern
city, we should have thought il
would be against the colored labor
and not against the white, but it is
to be regretted that it should bt
practiced at all, if there is worl
enough to keep all workingmen EN-
ployed. Tn Natchez we have host
of both races, but we have neve
heard of any discrimination beini
exercised against them. The bette
aad more skilled workmen of botl
races are always in demand here
and only those are idle at any tim
are those who are incapable, lackin
in industry or for other good an
sufficient reasons. For the credit Z
the city Of Meridian we hope thi
report isn't true, or if there is dii
elimination it is for other reason
than that of the color of the mechar

vENhzUELa'S QUARREL.

The Venezuela dispatches indicate
rather intricate combination of circum-
stances. The British and German fleets
hive captured the Venezuelan ships,
and President Castro has arrested Brit
lsh and German subjects. These are un'
usual proceedings. No special signih'
canoe can be attached to the gather
ing of an American squadron In West
Indian waters. for that was decided on
before the intentions OF the two Eu.
ropean powers were known, at least
publicly; but the presence OF those
ships there is nevertheless providentlal
and fortunate.
There is no doubt that the authorities
in Washington have been seen and
have given their assent to the collec

That the President win endeavor to

work, wherein is involved the salvation
Of the living. and the redemption OF

The services Of the day designated
should be, throughout, appropriate to
the occasion. Time is now given for
proper preparation. There should be

memorial services in the Sunday

interesting and profitable, and we be-
lieve those of the year 1902 will prove
equally valuable.

the Saints Of God in time and eternity.
