MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
What Has Happened Through
Out our State.

| GreenVllle, MISS. Sd. Last
night at 10 40 o'clock the jury in the
Cocke-Lauderdals case brought in q
verdict of guilty of murder as charged.
The Jury retired at O'Clock in the
Afternoon, thus taking six and a half
hours to como to a conclusion The
prisoners will be sentenced to hang,
today.
Never before in the history of the
county has a larger crowd assembled
nt the Courthouse to hear trial than
that which has been in attendance at
the Cooke Lauderdale trial.
TIE court vas called to order yes
terday morning at $50. The room,
like the proceeding days of the trial,
was filled, the the S. r. o. sign was
out The prisoners, Ashley Cooke
and Tom Lauderdale, were brought in
and took their seats near the fireplace.
The jurors We're also brought into the
room and occupied the seats facing the
judge They all showed some fatigue.
Cooke showed much interest in every
speech, and gave them his Whole at
tention, while Lauderdale sat most of
the time with his head hung, gazing
int emily at the floor or an object in
trent of him. The courtroom presented
saa spectacle. On one side sat de-
voted brother, a loving sister and a
heart broken and honored mother,
representing life, while facing them
from the other side of the room was
sad hearted, broken widow and or
phan babe, representing death, each
intently watched the scales of justice
as it weighed the arguments placed on
il by the prosecutor or defender in
determining the guilt or innocence of
TWO, whose life and liberty it decided.
Judge J, II. Wynn opened up the ar
sument for the defense. He inferred
that the Illinois Central railroad took
great interest in the prosecution and
conviction of these two men; that
mad they wanted to be fair, why did
they not bring the other passengers
acre to the trial who were in the car
1t the time of the murder? He showed
;he relationship of .Lauderdale to
Phipps, with whom the difficulty
started showed that Lauderdale only
fred through the roof of the car and
not at Rhea. and only did this through
fear of the men he was with killing
him held that it was clearly proven
that it was not the Marlin bullet
that killed Rhea. His speech was
commented on as being one of the
strongest made for the defense.
Attorney Dean of Senatobia, rep
resenting Cooke, then opened his de-
tense for the prisoner. He spoke
about two hours. when District At
.orney Hugh Harris closed.
The jury was then instructed by
the court and retired to the jury
room. at 4 p. m.

Science is not content with measur-
ing the human heart beats or weigh
ing the human brain. 1t is not even
satisfied with locating the physical
source of particular human emotions.
It must delye into the mysterious
chambers of that peculiar phase or
condition of mentality which man is
pleased to call the soul" Why does
a man weep? Why does he laugh?
why does he get angry and vent his
rage in the idiotic language of hate
and denunciation? These are mani
festations of mentality which have oc-
cupied the study of scholars for ages.
Man has made some progress in trac-
ing these phenomena to certain sensor
nerve ailments and other physical
causes. and has attempted to present
his observations and conclusions I'M
der the general head of psychology. "
But in spite of the psychologists sci
ence is still baffied by many of the
manifestations of the human mind
II is unable to classify or explain what
are generally called soul phenomena. /"

The New York Sun states that the
Beers may yet be able to celebrate
an evacuation day. Their cause is not
more desperate than was that of the
Americans on some occasions during
the Revolutionary war. When the
British ministry in 1882 was ready to
make terms of peace there was still
a large force of English troops in
America-between 10000 and $4,000
and Washington despaired of obtain
ing recruits for his reduced and bat
tle-worn army. The people of England
were weary of the war and had come
to realize that the Americans could
never be conquered, although in indi.
vidual engagements they were often
worsted. A somewhat similar feeling
is gaining a foothold in England as
regards the interminable effort to sub
jugate the Beers.

Within the last two or three years
the submarine torpedo boat has gained
greatly in popularity. Since Cervera's
feet was penned up at Santiago the
possibilities of that style of craft have
been better appreciated than before
on our side of the Atlantic. And the
United States will soon have round
half dozen in commission. England,
which has pursued a more conserva-
tive policy than some of the other
European powers, ordered five submar
ines last year. Japan followed suit
on a smaller scale; and France. which
has been a pioneer in this line Of ex'
pertinent, is likely to have a score OF
these boats afioat before the year

Forestry may get a healthy boom
from the action of the railroad compa
MES. They and the pulp companies
are the greatest consumers of trees,
and both need TO have an eye to the
future, If they would keep the price Of
lumber within reasonable limits, or,
indeed. avoid a scarcity. In this may
be found the incentive for tree plant.
ing and forest preservation. The in
dividual rarely feels this. He cannot
expect to live to reap the benefit Of
hardwood trees planted by him, ami
therefore he does not plant. State gov.
ernments are slow to act in the mat.
ter, but the corporations may move
for a selfish interest. They are prac.
tically continuous, and may reap what
they SOW. One railroad company ia
alive to its interests in this direction,
and recently it gathered it's officials,
over 200 in number. to listen to lee.
lures on forestry by government ex.
perts This indicates some action
towards the growing of trees suitable
for railroad ties.
