UNIQUE BANQUET.
Melancholy Program of a Brother
hoods Sole Survivor.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 15.-Phila-
notable banquets, but what is probably
the most unique that has ever taken
place here is to be held this evening.
Walter W. Bell, an old time news
paper man and the only survivor Of the
Last mans Brotherhood, will stand at
his own table in his own dining-room
alone. The table will be set for thirty
three diners. But when aged Mr..
Bell shall lift to his lips the Madeira
wine that he with thirty-two others
bottled just forty-six years ago, there
will respond to his toast only the
soundless voices of thirty-two impal-
pable presenoes. Every other memba-
of the brotherhood has died.
Mr.. Bell, whose melancholy fate it
is to respond to 80 toasts to thirty-two
vanished friends, is go years old. It
was during the years Immediately
preceding the civil war that the play
"Geoffrey Dale, was staged here,
and in ona Of the scenes a bottle of
wine was done up in wicker hamper
and stored away to be drunk by last
survivor The idea was quickly taken
up by th;rty-three newspaper men one
for each State of the Union. The
first meeting was on February IS,
1865. Since the brotherhood was
founded Mr.. Bell has never missed
one of the meetings. Once year he
has eaten and drunk and laughed and
tested with the slowly dwindling
ranks of goou comrades who once
swore to become brothers to each 9th
er for life. Each banquet has been
sobsrer, sadder than the last. Mr..
Bell considers tonight's affair SO SOL
emn an OCCASION that he will order no
supper but will confne himsalf to
drinking to the memories of his dead
frienus.

MISSISSIPPI ITEMS.

Greenwood, Miss, Feb. l7.-The
story OF a typical negro killing affair
comes from a small community in
Tallahatche ooutny. Arthur Arps,
q prosperous colored farmer, suspect
cd that his dusky spouse was not keep
ing her wifely honor in the straight
and narrow path and a deaf negro
named Burton Bradford was accused
of figuring as the gay Lothario in the
intrigue. Accordingly, on Sunday
morning Bradford armed himself with
a huge revolver and went forth to
settle the affair with his inamoratais,
husband. On reaching the house he
made hostile motion toward his gun
and Arps promptly put twenty-five
buckshot into his body. Several bull
lets also entered the neck of the I'M
offending mule which Bradford was
riding. Arps was arrested but after
wards given his liberty without bail.

SOME IMPORTANT
DEVELOPMENTS

London, Feb. 15.-Daily develop
ments in the Anglo.Japanese treaty
poinJ to a general suspicion among
Englishmen that the compact is vir-
tual uItimatum to Russia, and the
sternest warning to retire from Man
churIa. 1t is believed that the treaty
marks the termination of the hope
that Russia will fulfill her pledges
and evaouate the Chinese imperial
province unless other than moral
pressure is exterted Englishmen say
that Russia must abandon Manchuria
or fight, which it is believed she will
do, with England and Japan as spon
sors for China.
The question is expected to enter
the sisterhood of civilized nations
which have achieved the rank of world
powers.

Natcllez Wants Encampment.

Natchez, Miss, Feb. 17.-Unless
some more formidable arrival shies n
caster into the ring, it is likely that
the next encmpment of the Mississippi
Ntionaal Guard will be held in
Natchez.
Although it is nearly three months
hence before:the National Guard offic-
ers will take up the subject for settle
ment, Natchez is already making a
strong pull to secure the encampment
and the energy with which the ma
tional guardsmen of this city have set
about the matter seems to indicate that
their efforts will meet with success.
TIE commanding officers of the two
military companies located at Natchez
have been in correspondence with the
company officers in other portions of
the state on the subject asking that
they give their support and influence
to Natchez az the next place for the
encampment and many encouraging
replies have been received. Thus far
no other town in the state has launch
eu similar movements and it begins
to look like Eatchez will win without
opposition.
1t is very unlikely that the plan OF
holding regimental encampments will
be followed this year. The regiment
al plan was adopted last year and
while success in some respects in
other respects it was very unsatisfac-
tory, giving rise to the belief that it
will be abandoned this year and a
general encampment held.
A lively interest is being maintained
throughout the state in national
guard matters, and the summer en-
oampment should prove one of the
most successful ever held. 1t Is very
probable that the legislature will
make an increase over the last bien-
NAL Appropriation, thus enabling the
commanding officers to arrange for
an encampment on more satisfac-
tory scale than heretofore.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
What Has Happened Through
out our State.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 5.-The Dunn
bill providing for the restriction OF
the liquor traffic in towns of less
than 500 population without day and
night police protection, is now il
the hands of Governor Longino and
awaiting his signature.
The passage of this measure Is
largely due to the efforts of Rev. b.
G. Trigg, of Tunica county, mem
Der of the North Mississippi Confer
ence of the Methodist church, who
has been in the city since the open
ing Of the legislative session working
in the. interest of the bill. He
framed the original draft, which was
introduced in the Senate by Mr.. @.
G. Dunn, by request. In discussing
the effects of this new law, Mr. Trigp
said:
''yThe effect of the bill will be to
completely abolish saloons in Quit
man, Issaquena and Sharkey counties,
which are now in the "wet" column.
It will also leave only two saloons in
Tunica county, both being in the
town Of Tunica, which contains over
500 population. It will also close
eighteen saloons in Washington coun
ty, and to great extent affect the sa-
loon BUSINESS in all the "wet" coun-
ties by closing up the liquor shops in
small towns. 1t is long step toward
state prohibition, and one of the best
pieces of legislation accomplished our
ing the present session.
