Treasurer Lampton.s Bond.

The bond of State Treasurer
Hampton will be made in two surety
companies instead Of one. The en-
tire bond for a quarter Of a million
dollars was made by n company,
which promptly re-insurcd the part
it did not care to carry. A further
examination Of the law, however,
has revealed the fact that the surety
company cannot make an official
Mississippi bond for over one-tenth
of the amount of its capital stock.
The company in question has a cap
ital of l 900, 900, and it can, there
fore, under this provision, only make
the bond for 100000. The rest of
the bond, amounting to 100000,
will be placed in another company.

sion left Battle Hill, the bishops
residence. About twenty Of the
most distinguished members of the
clergy present were designated as
honorary ~pallbearers. Arriving at
st. Andrews church the funeral cor
tege was met by a procession COM
posed of the choir, clergy and the
visiting bishops present, who had
formed in st. Andrews. The cas-
ket containing the remains Of the

cially large delegation from Trinity

The Church-GOing Habit.

Too many people go to church
merely to hear a good sermon or fine
music. And so when there is likeli-
hood of an Indifferent sermon IT poor
music or a storm prevails or other
adventitious conditions obtain they
stay away. The church-going habit
is one to be cultivated, the same as
the habit of attending to ones busi-
ness or daily duties regardless of
weather or anything else. Once ac-
guired, the church-going habit goes
quietly on molding character and de-
termining destiny.

Wait Until 1904.

st. Louis has set apart 1870 acres
so per cent. more space than Chicago
had-for her midway. Not only this,
but st. Louis has planned a new de-
parture in midways. Her midway is
to be watched over with all the ten
der solicitude that is bestowed on a
Sunday school picnic. At least, that
is the way the beatifc vision pre-
SCENTS itself to the en%raptured fancy
of the fair authorities. But you must
wait until that fair gets in full swing
and-well, you will see what you will
see.

Liberal Treatment of Employees.

The Pennsylvania railroad company
will incur no loss through its liberal
policy to employees. A ten per cent.
increase in salaries, amounting in
the aggregate to more than 81, 900, 900,
should be an incentive to render bet
ter services. The action of the COM
pany is all the more praiseworthy
because it was voluntary. 1t shows
that n corporation, at least, has a

advice for Needless Ears.

Adit. Gen. Corbin may be right
in his position that young officers in
the army should not marry, but he
would have a pretty hard time carry
ing out such a policy. A p~rohibitory
law on the subject would be effective
in one way. Officers could not marry
and stay in the army, but they could
leave the army and marry. And that
is what a great many of them would
do. When a young mai concludes to
get married he doesn't take no from
anybody but the oms in question
And there you are.

If Mitchell gets the increased wages

eliminating recognition of the union
they will have the shadow. But the

Gerrymanders Do not Pay.

about ~rearranging the congressional

them solidly republican. The New
Jersey republicans tried to gerry
mander that state SO as to carry nine
out of ten districts, but they spread
the vote out SO thin that they carried
only seven districts. 1t has been
demonstrated often that gerrymand-
