DR. MARQUES ADDRESS.
Following the reading of the conclud-
ing chapter from Edwin Arnold's
! Light of Asia" by Mrs. Josephine c.
Barber. DR.. A. Marques gave an inter
esting address In Memory of Lord
Buddha." He discussed first the his
torical facts in relation to Buddha's
life, and then went into the mystery OF
Buddhism in itself, and later the exam
pie and lessons of his life.
1.-THE idea Of Buddhahood In general, -
he said. though it is most complicat-
ed and mysterious one, could be sum-
married by limiting at the existence of
a body or hierarchy of divine beings
and holy perfected men, whose mission
it is to get reincarnated whenever the
human race needs spiritual assistance.
either as starters of new races or mere
ly al starters of new religions better
adapted to the changing conditions of
the race. or more simply still, as re-
formers to do away with the errors
generally overshadowing some one re-
l;gion."
The speaker further contended that
these new Buddhas. or Saviors. mani
Tested themselves at every ZodiacaI
period of 2100 years. and that other
helpers appeared at intervals of 600 to
800 years. Thus a Buddha generally
appears in human form, and each one
of us might in time work up to that
perfected stage. DR.. Marques also
sketched the birth and personal char
acteristics of Buddha, his birth to high
estate and his work among the lowly
In this he differed from Christ, who
was born among the poor and proved
that even the lowest could attain the
highest perfection. Buddha differed
also. said the speaker. in that he gave
the example of attainment by self eff
forts. while others merely taught and
preached. His memory must be cher
ished," said the speaker, "as being a
perfect model man. who gave up his life
to show humanity the true path to be
in order to reach liberation
and salvation"
After comparing the two religions.
DR.. Marques closed with: However.
the sirnilarities and differences. as a
whole, are of such a nature that Chris |
tianity may be said to be theoretically |
a younger offshoot of Buddhism. So
that, when Buddhists are urged to en- |
brace Christianity, they may safely |
answer that they cannot be wrong in |
faithful to the original. in |
stead of adopting an inferior copy, in |
tended for coarser races. Therefore, |
may never the memory and example OF
Gautama Buddha grow less in the |
minds of true BuddhiSts'

BISHOP THOMPSON DEAD.

Bishop Hugh Miller Thomp-
son, known and loved through
out the country, died at
his home in Jackson Tuesday
morning at 3 O'Clock after a long
and lingering illness. His death
caused no surprise, for it had
been momentariIy expected since
his return from New York a few
weeks ago, at which time the
best specialists of that city pro-
nounced his malady incurable.
The funeral will occur today
from the Episcopal church in
Jackson, where the services will
be conducted by Bishop Gailor,
of Tennessee.
Bishop Thompson was born in
Londonderry, Ireland, June 9th,
1880, and when quite young
man left Ireland with his parents
and came to the United States.
He was fitted for college by pri-
vate instructors at Cleveland,
Ohio, and studied for orders at
Nashotah House in Wisconsin.
He was admitted to orders June
6, 1852, by Bishop Kemper, who
advanced him to the priesthood,
giving him charge of ST. Johns
church in Portage, Wisconsin,
August 1st, 1856. After this he
filled a number of important
charges, and on the Oath of Feb
ruary. 1888. he was consecrated
bishop coadjutor in New Or
leans, which honored place he
held until his death.
He was q great and good man.
and will be sadly missed by the
church, the state and the nation.
Peace TO his ashes.

mR. HENRY TALKS.

lion. r. II. Henry, editor of
the jackson Clarion Ledger and
/ commissioner from Mississippi
to The Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, which is soon to be held
in St Louis, addressed the peo-
plo of the county at the court
/ house last Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Henry, who was introduced
by Judge J. r. Harrison, made
a clear and practical address,
beginning by paying a beautiful
compliment to Columbus and her
people, saying that it was one Of
the prettiest cities in the state,
and that her people We're among
the most aristocrauc in the
south. He gave a brief history
of the way in which the scheme
to hold the exposition was, in
augurated, and also Of the fa-
nous Louisiana purchase, which
the proposed exposition IS to
commemorate. The land Ldr-
chased at this time has since
been divided up into twelve
states and two territories.
He said that at all of the ex-
positions which had heretofore
been held in the country that the
exhibits from Mississippi had
been conspicuous in some cases
for their insignificance and in
others for their total absence.
He gave a graphic description Of
the exposition which is to be held
in St. Louis, and urged the peo-
pie of Mississippi to make an ef-
fort to send a creditable exhibit,
suggesting that in planting their
crops next year the farmers
plant with a view to raising fine
specimens Of the various farm
products for exhibition at St.
Louis.
Mr.. Henry's address was lis
tened to by an appreoiative au-
dience which included quite a
number Of farmers fromSall sec
tions Of the county, and the
speaker succeeded in awakening
considerable interest in the ex-
position which, it is hoped, will
result in the sending of a fine
exhibit from this county.
While in Columbus Mr.. Henry
also addressed the students of
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege. His reception at the col
lege was a most cordial one, and
in his talk he paid q glowing
tribute both to the institution
and to its distinguished presi-
dent, Hon. A. A. Kincannon.

MONDAY.
Full Account of Proceed :
ings up TO Date.

Judge Sykes arrived at 0.30
o'clock Monday morning from
/ Aberdeen, having come over via
the Southern railway, and half
an hour later Sheriff Armstrong
declared the fall term Of circuit
court to be open according TO
law. The first business to be
transacted was the selection Of
the grand and petit jurors, and
after they had been duly organ
lied and empaneled Judge Sykes
proceeded to deliver his charge
to the former body.
The charge was an able one,
referring to every crime and mis-
demeanor which the statutes
prohibit, and was delivered in
Judge Sykes usual forcibie, elo-
quent and convincing manner.
He emphasized the necessity of
selecting honorable and intelli-
gent men to serve on The grand
and petit juries, as well as to fill
the state, county and municipal
offices, 50 that the law may be
carried out without fear or favor.
His honor took occasion in his
charge to speak in the highest
terms Of the county jail, saying
that he considered it the safest
Jail in the district, and had often
demonstrated his faith by sending
prisoners here for safe keeping.
Touching upon the illegal sale
of liquor, Judge Sykes said that
be believed that there was very
little Of the traffic going on in
this or the other counties of the
district, and that public senti-
ment seemed to be 50 strong
against the drinking Of liquor
that it is on the decrease in Mis-
sissippi, as we'll as in the other
states throughout the country.
