Nirulent Cancer cured

Startling proof of wonderful ad-
vance in medicine is given by druggist
G.. w. Roberts of Elizabeth. W. Va.
An old man there had long suffered
with what good doctors pronounced
incurable cancer. They believed his
case hopeless till he used Electric Bit
tiers and applied Bucklen's Arnica
Salye which treatment completely
cured him. When Electric Bitters are
used to expel bilious, kidney and mic
robe poisons at the same time this
salve exerts its matnhle3s healing
power blood diseases, skin ernptions,
ulcers and sores vanish. Bitters SOC,
Salve pc at II. Heinrich.

Pomona, in the Orkney islands, sold IA
vorable winds to seamen at the small
price Of six pence vessel. For many
years witches were supposed to sell
the wind. The Finlanders and lap
landers made quite a trade by selling
winds. The old women, after being
well paid by the credulous sailors,
used to knit three magical knots; the
buyer was told he would have good
gale when he united the first knot,
the second knot would bring strong
wind, and the third a severe tempest.
At one time winds were sold at Mont
st. Michael, in Normandy, and arrows
were sold at the same time to charm
away bad storms.

TREASURE ISLANDS.
when They Are Found the "UntoId
Riches" Are Never in
Evidence.

One feature characteristic of all
treasure islands is their lack of treas
ure. 1t is dull seaport that is with
out at least one old salt with a story
to tell about some fabulous amount
of gold buried somewhere. Writers
of fiction delight in tales of this sort,
for they are easy to write and easy
to SELL says the Tacoma Ledger. 1t
is no uncommon thing for an indi-
vidual to turn up with a map of the
district where the treasure awaits n
claimant. AS a rule this map has for
the substance of dime novel. The
usual explanation of the possessor Of
the map is that it came to him from
the hands Of a penitent and dying
pirate who had never dared to ex-
pose the truth, for be 1t known this
pirate had been one of the pirate
crew that used to cache its loot in
the sands of the far-away isle.
Usually he had been the last sur
vivor, all his associates having killed
each other or died before getting
their nerve to the proper pitch to
make the revelation. Listening to
this, some person of adventurous
turn believes it, fits out a boat and
away he sails. To find the island Is
not a difficult matter. There is never
any profit in finding 1t. If there had
ever been treasure there somebody
else knew it and reached the spot
first. The pirate of the raging main,
even while actively in business, did
not have in mind the benefit of flu.

DEATH OF BISHOP HUGH MILLER
THOMSON.
From New Orleans item.

From New Orleans Item.
The venerable Episcopal prelate Of
the diocese of Mississippi, Hugh Mil
ler Thompson, entered into eternal
rest last night. Thus has fallen one
of the brightest inetllects of the
south, man who was an ornament TO
his church and to society: While
Bishop Thompson was rector of Trim
ity church in this city our people
came to recognize his intellectual
powers and his rare command OF Ian
guage. The Picayune this morning
gives an analysis of the man that will
be read with interest and approval.
That journal says:
1.-The passing of this remarkable
man is an event, the, importance of
which is by no means confined to- the
membership of his religious commu-
MON. He was great original
thinker as we'll as potent orator and
writer, and his death is loss to hu-
manity. The clearness sof his intel
lectual vision, the extent of his eru1af
tion. and the remarkable vigor and
brilliance of his diction, made him
commanding figure in the world of
letters and the theological side OF cur
rent thought. There was unusual
force and virility in everything that
proceeded from both his lips and pen,
and he was the master Ct style un-
surpassed by anything in classical lit
erature. As used by him, our noble
mother tongue was an instrument for
the accomplishment of great ends, the
vindication of the truth, he advance
ment of knowledge, the propagation
of sound morals, and the illumina-
tion of the holy scriptures. He IN
vested every subject, however tr1te
and threadbare, with new interest,
shedding over it the light of his genius
and making manifest it's truth rela-
tions and characteristics. 1t is ex-
pressibly sad to think that so much
of wisdom, learning and eloquence is
lost to the world forever. 1t is true
he will survive in some notable vol
umes written during the stress of a
busy life, but fine as they are, they
represent but a little of the everflQw-
ing fountain from which they came.
1.-The eminece of Bishop Thompson
was recognized in both hemispheres,
and his death is felt to be loss by
men of all religions and denomina-
tions. 1t was good to know this great
champion of the cross was on guard,
and all Christians will unite in de-
ploring the fate that has taken hin
away"

TO BECOME GREAT SHIPPING POINT
Over s., 800, 900 Already Expended
On Culfport Harbor.

The Times.Democrat of yesterday
contained lengthy write-up of our
neighboring city of Gulfport, which
that paper comments on as follows:
I'VE publish elsewhere long and
interesting account of deep water
mort now under construction within
less than hundred miles OF
New Orleans, but of which is little
known in this city. We refer to
Gulfport. Harrison county, Missis-
sippi. which as the terminus OF the
Gulf and Ship Island railroad expects
to become the shipping point for a
large portion of Mississippi.
1.-THE idea of port on the Mlssls-
sippi sound, through which the pro-
duce of the interior can be shipped
direct to Europe, has always been
popular one in that state. Mlsslsslp-
nj Citv was laid out for that purpose
and there have been many other ex-
ueriments of the kind, which, how
ever. have never been pushed
with sufficient vigor. How
different it is in the case of Gulf
port we'll shown in the account
we give elsewhere. Through the
energy of Capt. ]. 7. Jones, the mar

behind Gulfport, and that town has
already. done what dozens of towns
have failed at, and laid the founda-
tions Of a large and valuable COM
merce.
Z 'The basis of Gulfport's prosperity
lies, of course, with the Gulf and
Ship Island railroad, which extends
through from the coast to Jackson,
distance of 161 miles, and WHICH with
two branches, runs through 1ne of
the best timber sections of the coun-
try. There are ninety odd lumber
mills along the line Of these roads
with. an output rnnning up into the
hundreds of millions of feet of lum-
ber daily.
with the business behind Gulf
part, Captain Jones started III to
make it a deepwater port, at which
vessels of the largest size could land
and take in and discharge their car
goes. Similar attempts along Mis-
sissippi sound have proved II failure
befo.e, but the energy thrown into
the Gulfport enterprise assured sue
cess. To reach deep water. a pier
500 feet wide and AGO feet or over
mile long-the largest III the. world
has been CONSTRUCTED. The
channel to this pier has been. dredged
to depth of twenty feet, with a
width of 80 feet and seven miles
long, giving access to Ship Island
harbor Along the pier run numer-
GUS tracks with fiequent switches;
and the conveniences for loading and
unloading are so great that thirty
= essels can lie here at the same time.

provement upon which the. pros
llerity of GulfpoTt rests, but there

lants, a sewerage system and

1.-THE town is being laid out with

The railroad shops give employment

already been expended to improve

of the year, is now three thousand

formed of what Gulfport will be

Three Preceding Days-No Bear
Nor COonS.
WILL SEE LUKE E. WRIGHT,
And Attend the Grand Reception
to Be Given by Memphis City.

Smedes. Nov. lS.-President Roose-
velt's bear hunt in Mississippi ended
and he has not even shot at bear.
The last day of the chase was simply
q repetition of the preceding days, SO
far as his luck was concerned. Try
as the hunters would they could not
get bear within range of the presi-
dents rifle.
The dogs got fresh trail early this
morning, and the president and Hoke
Collier followed it hlaf dozen miles
to the Big Sunfower river. The bear
crossed a mile below the ford, then
went to wading, and believing that ne
was making for the canebrake on the
other side, they endeavored to head 1t
off. When they got into the cane
brake, however, they were disgusted
to find that the bear had doubled on
his track and crossed the river still
further down. 1t was then l O'Clock,
and as arrangements had been made
to break camp at 2:30 the president
was reluctantly compelled to abandon
further pursuit of the elusive quarry.
While the president was out after
bear Mai. Helm, DR.. Lung and Secre-
tary CortelyOu had more successful
deer drive on this side of the Little
Sunfower river. They jumped up
buck and a doe Maj. Helm killed
the latter from his horse at about
forty yards.
Although the president has failed
to kill bear on this expedition, he
enioyed his outing and speaks in high
praise of the hospitality that has been
accorded him. He philosophically
attributed his i'll fortune to the tradi-
tional hunters luck, and says that the
next time he goes after bear he will
arrange to stay long enough for luck
to change.
The breaking up of camp today was
an interesting proceeding. The camp
outfit was loaded into a six-mule
wagon, the sides of which were
formed of the board used for the table
and tent floors.
The deer killed today and the bear
killed Yesterday were loaded in and
will be taken to Washington ON the
special train. Old Remas, the great
est dog in the pack, whose last hunt
was ahead of the president OF
the United States, was badly
used up, and with several of thu
wounded dogs was put in one OF th'
wagons.
When all was in readiness th'
president and the members of th'
party mounted their horses and rod
into Smedes, leaving the wagons t.
follow. The president is a hare
rider and the pace was rapid, in spit
of the bad trails. The distance
which is fully twelve miles, was GOV
cred in less than an hour.
Upon the presidents arrival her
he found fully 500 people, practicall,
all negroes from the surroundln
plantations, assembled to greet him
