New Novel by Mrs. Wilson.

Admirers of Mrs. Augusta Evans
Wilson's work will be pleased to
learn that another novel by this
gifted writer is forthcoming from
the house of G. w. Dillingham;
Company, New York, says the
Mobile Register. The publisher
announces an edition Of $4,000
copies of "a Speckled Bird" by
this author. The title is derived
from the scriptnral sentence: GAS
a speckled bird, the birds round
about are against her," The sto-
ry is laid in the South, and the
time Is just after the close of the
war between the States.
1t is now sixteen years since
Mrs. Wilson's last novel, cat the
Mercy of Tiberius," was publish
cd. This long interval increases
rather than diminishes the inter.
est tho public takes in the pros.
pect of q now work from her pen.

MISSISSIPPI CITY.
Only Qualified Electors 10 Serve on
Juries.

Mississippi City, Miss, April 9.
by instructions of Judge Neville
the clerk of the county court has
given notice that at the May term
of the court, beginning ON the
18th, the civil docket will be called
peremptorily, and that the crimi-
nal docket be set for the second
week Of the term, and witnesses
in such cases notified not to ap-
pear before that time.
At the last term of the court
considerable trouble was had with
disfranchised electors being sum-
moned as jurors, and, to avoid
this Judge Neville requested the
board of supervisors to revise and
purge the iury-box list. This
should have been done early in
the year, but the board has defer
red the matter untilthe delinquent
tax list was in hand, when an
entirely new jury list was made of
only qualified electors.
The board was in session here
three days this week and approx
ed the quarterly report of the
county superintendent of educa-
tion. 1t was expected the board
would provide for a new survey
of the county. but. in the absence
of county assessor, this was pre-
vented, and will have to be attend
ed to later.
A formal order for an election
upon the matter of the removal
of the county courthouse from
its present site to Gulfport was
made for the 31st of July next, the
law requiring for such elections
that five months notice shall be
given. AS the term draws near
for this elections, public opinion
is apparently focusing against
the removal. The report is made
by a reliable source that the vo-
ters, even along the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad, will vote against
the removal, because of the large
increase of taxes that will be en-
tailed to accomplish it. The land

CARNEGIE AND MS LIBRARIES

Last week Booklover Andrew
Carnegie had a library day."
He signed checks for amounts
running from $4,000 to $175,000
and planted libraries in SO towns
and cities.
He is being criticised.
1t is natural for u large number
of people to feel that they could
spend his dollars more wisely
than he does. They say there are
books everywhere, millions of
them. Nothing is cheaper than
good literature, and there is feel
ing that IL all but general, that
very rich should use a part Of
their surplus wealth in putting an
end to actual suffering, to help
those who starve and slave, vic
tins of mans inhumanity to his
kind.
Yes, q man starved to death in
New York last week. He fell
dead on the street, and his last
words we're, "Oh, l am so hun
gry."
AIfew of Ca-negie's dollars--the
price of a book-would have saved
a life, but remember this:
Since the beginning of wealth
practical charity has been a prob
lem. How to reach those who
are really in need without benefit
ing those who will not help them
selves has puzzled socialogists for
years.
Real suffering doesn't parade
its woes often. Pride is its COM
panion. 1t says: "I'll yet along,
some way. / don't want charity
or philanthropy, or q penny OF
your money
The best brains in country have
not discovered an antidote for
this kind of human misery.
Isn't it possible that the libra
ries are to help in way that the
critics do not dream of now2
Books are education. The more
people read the more they know.
The more good literature there is
in their libraries the more we'll
stocked brains there will eventual
ly be, and good brains never were
and never can be a drug in the
market.
Education, whether obtained
from school or reading, helps men
and women to live. 1t increases
their resources. 1t enables them
to demand their rights and to OBJ

Monkeys

"All well-all happy--lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day keeper accident
ally broke bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
lapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
hen the monkeys have received
egular doses and the keepers
'eport very few deaths from
consumption. OF course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.
If you have it or are threaten
