Authorized Advertisement.

Failing in ordinary ways TO obtain this
special discount the committee gave 10
the gentleman permission to advertise,
Offering a reward for it. To his astonish-
ment FIVE Of the leading papers OF New
York City, refused to print the adver-
ment. 1t was admitted that it was a
perfectly legitimate advertisement but the
business office did not care to accept it
in one case the advertising manager fig
urged on the amount of advertising space
used by the exporting houses, and which
might be left lost should he slap them
in the face by printing this advertise-
ment.
..In the face of these facts, Mr.. ]. r.
Dradlee, of the firm of Henry w. Pea
body & Co. had the nerve to say to
reporter for the New York Sun:
We should have thought, however,
that the Democratic literary bureau in
Washington would have come to us for
any information they wanted, rather than
resort to means of this kind.
" Would you give one Of your discount
sheets to the Democratic literary bureau.
IL they asked for it?" asked the respofter.
'I doubt if we should; Mr.. Bradlee re-
piled. II would not feel that we were at
liberty to do So"

1st Nepolean Whittle entered plea

grown to immense proportions and
millions of dollars have been brought
into the state. Thriving towns and
cities have sprung up like magic, and
the hum of industry and activity is
heard on all sides.
In Yazoo county immense beds of
iron ore are reported and along the
bluffs to the north mineral phosphates
are found in abundance.
In the great delta section of the
state, the people are just awakening
to the realization Of the value of the
finest hardwood timber belt in the
world, and many thousands of dollars
are being invested in timber lands and
manufacturing plants to convert the
natural product into articles of mer-
chandise, and millions of dollars will
be thus distributed in a section that
is already prosperous as the result of
the enOrmity Of its cotton production.

MISSISSIPPPS new SEAPORT.
A Pier $500 FeetLong and Chan
mel Seven Miles Long.

Gulfoprt, Harrison county, Miss,
as the terminus of the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad, expects to become the
shipping point for a large portion of
Mississippi.
The idea of port on Mississippi
sound, through which the produce of
the interior can be shipped direct to
Europe, has always been a popular
one in that state Mississippi City
was laid out for that purpose, and
there have been many other expert
ments of the same kind, which, how
ever, have never been pushed with
sufficient vigor. Through the energy
of Capt J. T. Jones, the man behind
Gulfport, that town has done what
dozens of towns have failed at, and
laid the foundations of large and val
liable commerce.
The basis of Gulfport's prosperity
lies, of course, with the Gulf and
Ship Island railroad, which extends
from the coast to Jackson, distance
of 161 miles, and which, with two
branches, runs through one of the best
timbered sections Of the country.
There are ninety odd lumber mills
along the line of these roads, with an
output running up into the hundreds
of millions of feet of lumber daily.
With the business behind Gulfport,
CAPTAIN Jones started in to make it a
deep water port, at which vessels of
the largest size could land and take in
and discharge their cargoes. Similar
attempts along Mississippi sound have
proved a failure before, but the en-
ergy thrown into the Gulfport enter
prise assured success. To reach deep
water, a pier 300 feet wide and 5, 400
feet, or over mile long-the largest
in the world-has been constructed.
The channel to this pier has been
dredged to a depth of twenty four
feet, with q width of 80 feet and
Ship Island Harbor. Along the pier
run numerous tracks with frequent
switches, and the conveniences fol
loading and unloading are so great
that thirty vessels can lie here at the
same time.
This is, of course, the chief i'm
provement upon which the prosperity
of Gulfport rests, but there are other
improvements on the same scale. A
new hotel, to cost 5000, 900, is going
up; handsome building for the Gulf
port National Bank, which, with +,
capital of $120, 600, has already beer
established; Office buildings are unde
way; so also are electric light plants
a sewerage system and splendid wa
ter system.
The town is being laid out witt
broad streets, and an electric lin
will carry passengers to the end ef tn
pier, and more than mile away iron
the shore. The railroad shops Civ
employment to several hundred me-
and are turning out large humble
of cars. Altogether over five and
half million dollars have been ez
pended to improve and beautify Gull
port and TO assure its prosperity

PHYSICIAN FOR MOLOkAl.

The public. who pay the bills Of the
Leper Settlement should keep sharp
eye on the choice OF q resident physi-
cian. There are plenty OF doctors who.
being slack Of business where they are,
would not mind going To the settlement
ana laying around, But what is
wanted at the place is a medi-
cal specialist who will not only look
after the general health OF the inmates
but win bring a keen scientific mind to
bear upon a study OF the disease with
the idea Of finding cure.
That there is no certain remedy for
leprosy in the books Is not necessarily
due to the malignity Of that ancient
plague. The truth seems to be that
there are so few lepers among civilized
people that physicians give but little
time. comparatively. to the study Of
the bane. Remedial things are being
sought every year for cancer and
tubefculosis. not without success. Why?
Simply because these diseases are COM
mon enough to well repay the search
for a cure. So once was smallpox, and
the result would not be to eNterminate
giandular treatment for disease is
reaching maladies once thought to be
beyond aid; but they are common NAL
aides. Who knows that, If 1.-THE of
the time put on finding a specific for
consumption was applied to leprosy,
the result would not be to eXtirminate
the rotting plague. either by curing 1t
outright or by making people immune.
There are few places more suitable
for such work than the Settlement at
Molokai. 1t IL a clean place under Gov
eminent control where every stage, de-
gree and class of leprous phenomena
present themselves. A whole school of
medical specialists could find subjects
there: and one specialist would suffer
the embarrassment Of riches so far as
opportunities Of study go.
1t would pay to have such a man
even at his own price. Familiarity with
the Oriental scourge has, in some meas
ure, hardened our people to its pres
enCe. SO long as there Is segregation
of the victims, the matter of a cure
does not trouble them. Yet, after all,
the presence OF leprOsy costs us 100000
. year In taxes and probably keeps us
from earning five times that sum from
tourists. No one can realize unless he
meets many tourists or hears Hawaii
discussed abroad. how much fear there
Is outside of Hawaii of "A malady which
We insiders rarely see or bother about

1t is on these grounds that the Ad-
vertiser pleads for sound choice Of

enough and lachrymose women enough
and quacks enough who want to go to

WIDESPREAD SElSMlC EFFECTS.

The Salt Lake editor who thought II
impossible that the eruption of Mount
Peiee could have changed the character
of the sunsets at Hawaii, is having his
scientific horizon expanded. GA one
day his dispatches tell him that the
surface OF Pennsylvania has been rails
ed foot by some force acting derva-
lively from the Martinique Convulsion;
and the next day he reads that the
monsoon which brings rain to India in
early summer has been detected by
the eruption and that another famine
may result from IL. Surely If India
could suffer from the influence OF Pelec,
there can be nothing strange In the
story that Hawaii has seen some at
mospherlc effects from the West In
dian mountains uplift OF dust and
gases into the higher levels OF the at
mosphere.

eruption affects the entire world. At
