terror.

The removal from the old to the
new passenger quarters of the Rock
Island road on Fifth avenue began
today, unexpected delay resulting
from misunderstanding between
the passenger and construction de
partments of the road having devel-
oped. No tickets have yet been sold
from the new office, but unless pres
ent arrangements miscarry there will
be tomorrow.
There has been a contention for
several days between the two depart
ments of the. road over the date of
removal, the construction forces be-
ing compelled To rest in partial idle
ness while the finishing touches are
being placed upon the new building.
The interior of the depot is not
really finished and the painters and
the men who laid the tile floor
say il would have been better If the
occupation had been deferred a
couple of days longer, at least. The
paint ON the ceilings is not vet fully
dried and the floor should have been
gone over again in the polishing
process. In spite of its incomplete
ness. however. the depot cannot fail
To impress the beholder as a build
ing well and substantially built and
withal original in design.

State Insurance Commissioner Cole
is taking steps looking to the organiza-
ton of State Firemen's Association,
with officers and committees to carry
out its resolutions and purposes. With
such an organization he thinks its
members would learn much from each
others experience; discussion would
suggest new ideas and theories; de-
ficiencies in present methods would be
made apparent, and the combined wis
dom and experience of the body would
evolve the proper remedies. Papers on
the various subjects pertaining to
fires, fire fighting and equipment could
be submitted by members, and this
would inspire closer study of these
vital questions and more interest in
acquiring knowledge of them. The
meetings would be annual. These
meetings would attract exhibitions of
all kinds of fire engines and fire fight
ing apparatus, and much would be
learned from practical tests and illus
trations of modern fire equipment and
modern theories of fire fighting.

THE STREAM OF TIME.

Oh, wonderful stream is the River Of Time,
As 1t runs through the realm of years,
With faultless rhythm and musical rhyme,
And broader sweep and surge sublime
AS II bends In the Dream Of Tears.
How the winters are drifting like fakes Of snow
All the summers like birds between,
And the years In the sheaf, how they come and &c
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and its flow
AS 1t glides into shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up the River Time
Where the softest of airs are playing,
There's cloudless sky and a tropical cline,
And song as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are strayng.
And the name of this isle is the "Long Ago.
And we bury our treasures there;
There are beams of beauty and blossoms of snow
There are heaps Of dust-oh! we love them So
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings
There are parts of an infants prayer,
There lutte unswepta nd a hafpwithout strings
There are broken beads and pieces of rings,
And the garments she used to wear
Oh! remembered for aye be that blessed isle,
All the day OF our life until night,
And when evening grows with its beautiful smile
And our eyes are closed in slumber awhile
May the home of our souls be in sight!

ducts will be thrown upon the market,
and only the stockholders In these
trusts and combines will suffer. AS
sure as that the sun shines, whenever
any institution becomes unwieldy OF
its size and bulk, it will finally fall of
its own weight.
81 am an expansionist and / believe
that one of the causes of stringency
aud shrinkage of value in this coun-
try, when they occur, will be because
we have not gone out over the seas
with our products as we should have
done. While there is demand for
our products of the farm and manu-
factory of this country, there will al
ways be plenty of money; but when
wheat and cotton and corn, and all
kinds Of manufactures, are drug on
the market, and no demand for them,
then we have stringency and hard
times. But when the highways over
the seas are ladened with our products
into foreign countries, and the gold is
brought back in the ships, then we
shall flourish perennially. These great
combinations are the only powers in
this country that can do this thing for
US. A negro and an old mule can make
corn and cotton; fellow with two
hundred dollar saw mill can make
lumber; but only aggregations Of
wealth and up-to-date appliances can
do it cheaply, and can build ships an d
open markets for our surplus in for
eign lands"

. The jackson correspondent of the
Picayune says novel race was wit
messed on the streets of that city one
night last week. A little negro boy
had stolen pocketknife, and he had
been turned over by the police court
to be whipped by his mother The
woman took the boy home and removed
all of his clothing, when the boy made
a break for liberty and succeeded 10
getting away from his mother. In his
nude condition he ran down the street
in a Nancy Hanks gait, the woman
right behind him. He was captured
by some passersby, after a chase OF
several blocks, and turned over to the
woman, who executed the sentence of
the court in approved style.

SENATOR MONEY ASSAULTED

Senator H. d. Money had an alter
cation with street car conductor at
Washington over the collection of an
additional fare in transferring from
one car to another. The senator was
elected from the car and assaulted.
He drew small pen knife to defend
himself, and the conductor in attempt
ing to seize it, was cut in the hand.
The senator at once procured a war
rant for the arrest of the conductor.
If he is not dismissed from service,
the senator says he will sue the Cap
ital Traction Company for damages.
Next day, an affidavit was sworn out
for the arrest of Senator Money, charg-
ing him with assault. The trial of
both is set for tomorrow.

st. Louis observation-disclosures
ment n Benefit.

The editor of the Clarion Ledger,
after a conference with exposition
officials in st. Louis, gave it as his
opinion that the great Worlds Fair
would be postponed till 1904. Every
person connected with it knows the
exposition cannot be held next year,
as it will be physically impossible to
have the buildings ready, and besides
all the foreign countries are clamoring
for more time 10 which to get up their
exhibits.
The exposition cannot be carried
over except by act Of congress, the
government. having donated s5,OOO,OOO
to the enterprise, the bill providing
that the exposition should be held in
1903. Senator Allison has introduced
bill changing the time from 1908 to
1904, and there is no doubt Of its pas
sage by both houses, and that compli-
cation out of the way, the exposition
management will announce the post
pone ment to 1904. This is we'll under
stood, and may be accepted as fact.
But the postponement should cause
no abatement in the zeal of the people
in Mississippi and elsewhere. Itshould
ra Their increase it, for 1t will give more
time to work up first class exhibits.
The time, as originally proposed, was
too short, especially for agricultural
products 10 this State, the planting
season having passed before any an
nouncement was made. Therefore. the
pos tponement will prove blessing to
all. 1t will allow the farmers of Mis-
sissippi to canvass the matter more
fully, becoming better posted as to
what will be wanted, and giving them
sufficient time to raise it. 1t will also
allow longer canvass to awaken an
interest in the exposition and map out
line of work throughout the State
that must be productive of good re-
suits.
In the meantime the Governor is
making inquiry as to suitable persons
to appoint as county commissioners,
and will announce the list as soon as
possible; the State commissioner will
continue to do office work and visit
different sections of the State and
make short exposition talks; and the
State Bureau will meet, as occasion
may require, and give attention to de-
tails yet to be worked out.
Advantage must be taken of the ex-
tension of time, which will be found
none too long for the work is herculean
in task and could not have been cred
itably performed in one year.
Interest must not slacken. The peo-
pie in every county should keep it up.
Let them meet, organize and prepare
for the great industrial campaign, the
movement that is to lift Mississippi
up and set her right before the world
In the meantime the State commits
sioner will be glad to hear from all
persons interested in having the State
properly represented at st. Louis, and
impart such information as he may
have, and visit any section of the State
that may desire to hear more about
exposition matters Clarion Ledger.

The F. Dodge Messenger says the
custom on making and receiving formal
calls, which often consists of the mere
leaving of a card, is likely to be abol
ished in favor of the easier and more
satisfactory ''call" over the telephone.
Mrs. Smith can sit down in her own
home, call up Mrs. Jones, and have a
pleasant chat. If Mrs. Jones is mot
at ihome," she can so instruct her
maid before it is time for Mrs. Smith
to call. No card is left, but the maids
report that Mrs. Smith "called" ans
wers all purposes. Next morning Mrs.
Jones can return the courtesy by wire.
What a saving of time and trouble.
Both ladies will have better opportun-
ityto do some of the thousand and one
wise things that all women long to do
but have been kept from doing by the
demands of calling. This is step
forward. But we are to take another.
A Frenchman has invented the loud
speaking phone or haut-parleur. When
this becomes universal, Mrs. Smith
and Mrs Jones can sit comfortably
and chat, each in her own boudoir, or
walk about the room attending to what
ever may be necessary, the phone
catching every word and responding
in as loud and clear tone as if the
absent friends were speaking close at
hand. All that is needed to complete
the invention is the seeing attachment
which has been promised by the sa-
wants. What is delaying this? Great
fame and fortune await the inventor
who shall make it perfect.
