Last evening as the little son of R.
j. Grady was feeding his pigeons he
noticed a strange bird among them,
perfectly tame and apparently very
much at home. 1t went to roost with
the other birds and was captured with
out difficulty. An examination
showed that it was carrier pigeon
and on its leg was an aluminium band
with the name, sc Ball, Railway,
New Jersey" engraved on it. Mr.
Grady, who is a candidate for alder
man, from the fourth ward, says he
looks upon the arrival of the bird as
an omen that he will win out in the
coming election. Railway, New Jer-
sey, is near the Atlantic coast, fully
one thousand miles from Biloxi, ON
an air line. No one here knows Mr..
Ball, nor was expecting his pigeon.
Whether the bird lost its reckoning in
some Of the recent gales or had heard
of Biloxi's climate, can only be
guessed. Biloxi Herald.

We don't hear much politics these
days. Everybody is busy gathering
cotton, corn and grinding molasses.
There is more corn in the country
than was thought for some time ago.
A good many farmers say they have
made plenty of corn to run them.
Cotton is not bringing much, but the
prices will be better later on. Plenty
molasses and potatoes will be made,

There is nothing that develOpes q
country and has greater tendency
towards civilization than railroads,
and yet there are many people forever
slandering them and doing all in their
power against them. To say nothing
Of the great cOnveniences afforded by
railways, they are always ready to
aid in the upbuilding and advance
ment of the sections through which
they pass. -EFffe1Te EFFfffeTe are many though
who cannot overcome the idea that
railroads are forever trying to swim
die the people in general, and they
look upon them as corporations
which seek to obtain, bonOrably or
dishonorably, all the capital possible
from every firm or individual with
whom they deal. 1t is about as often
the case that the people attempt to rob
the railroads. How often is it no.
ticable that when a train happens to
kill scrub yearling the owner puts
in claim for fine blOOded stock at
double its real value. The railroads
should be co-operated with and dealt
with justly. The more railways a
state has the greater will be its pros
perity. Mississippi never began to
prosper until the construction of rail
roads began to increase, and the time
is not very far distant when the old
commonwealth will be covered with
a network of steel rails, and not be-
fore then will she reach the zenith OF
her prosperity. Newton Record.

NEW YORK, December Grading In to-

there was no very significant liquidation.
Traders through the banks wanted dull

AT the decline there was no good selling

SAYS His Visit to United States Has
Been One of Great
Interest

Michael Davitt, Irish patriot former
member of the house of commons, and
leader of the struggle for home rule for
Ireland, arrived in the city this afternoon
and is at the New Willard. He will be
Joined here tonight by Edward Blake and
john Dillon, also members of parliament
from Ireland. Mr.. Davitt and Mr.. Blake
will address meeting at the Lafayette
Square Opera House Sunday evening.
Our visit to the United States has been
one of great interest, not only to ourselves,
but to our people at home Mr.. Davitt said
this afternoon. with John Redmond,
chairman of the Irish party in parliament,
we were delegated to be present at the
convention of the United Irish League OF
America at Boston October II. We found
the convention most representative In every
way. not only of the Irish League OF the
United States. but of our people generally.
The results expected were twofold
First. to excite in the press and pubic MIND
interest in all phases of the struggle In Ire
land for land reform and home rule. Sec
ond that our appeals at public meetings In
large centers of population would obtain
material help for the movement We, are
carrying on in Ireland.
More Than Realized.
Both expectations were more than real
lied. Four large papers, yielding much
public influence, have sent special CORE
spondents to Ireland who are now on the
ground sending descriptive letters of &C
tual conditions there.
ION the other hand. the result Of the
meetings Mr. Dillon. Mr.. Blake and myself
have held in the United States and Canada
during the last six weeks have resulted in
the sending of close on to S59,oe0 to carry
on the struggle In Ireland.
THE meeting in Washington Sunday
night will be the final one Of the tour. 1t
is to be held for propaganda purposes only
We desire that Mr.. Blake. who Is one OF
the ablest constitutional lawyers of his
kind, and who understands the Irish ques-
ton, from legal and constitutional points
Of view better than any other man, may
have an opportunity of presenting the Irish
question from these views to a Washing
ton audience.
''At other meetings subscriptions have
been solicited for our cause, and, as have
said, the responses were generous. In
Washington we do not intend to make an
appeal of that kind"
Mr. Davitt, though getting along in years.
has lost none of his interest in lettering the
conditions Of his people 1t is with pride
that he refers to the time he resigned from
parliament, soon after war was declared
against the Beers. protesting against what
he considered and so declared IN the house
of commons, as "a gigantic infamy"
Il have refused many requests, Mr..
Dayitt said today, from constituents In
Ireland to return to the house of commons,
but l have steadfastly declined to accept
these kindly proffers.''
