FRANCES FIRST HUNTREss.
The Duchess d'Uzes i'm 1902 Had Her
EIevem-Humdredth Stag
Accounted For.


The czar's uncles, Vladimir and Alexis,
cynically enough shoot partridges and
rabbits with the president year after
year; but. when they follow the French
stag over the same presidential grounds
of Rambouillet, it is with the hounds
of great landowner and very rich
lady, whose personal life is so surround
ed by safeguards against the modern
and the commonplace that, except when
she wishes it, she scarcely knows that
the old regime is ended. This is ''the
first huntress of France the dOwager
Duchess dues, who in Christmas week,
of 1902, was at her eleven hundredth
stag, writes Sterling Heilig, in with
the Hounds of the Duches Dues"
The duchess rents from the republic
more than $4,000 acres Of this old Ram
bouillet forest, between President Lou
bets favOrite chateau and her own
hunting chateau, of Bonnelles. The
president has the right to shoot the
partridge and the rabbit on his lands
at Rambouillet; but should he wish to
chase the deer, he, too, must be in
vited by the duchess. She does not
invite the president often. In return
the president forbids the military uni
form to appear at the hallali of the
duchess all the more griev-
Gus to the great lady, in that the bur-
den of it falls, not on her, but on the
young officers Of the neighboring garri-
son, forced thereby to the considerable eX-
pense of maintaining hunting costumes.
The president-that is to say, the min
lister of war-has even forbidden them
to use their chargers at the hunts; but
that is difficulty more easily over
come, since the duchess can lend them
horses.
Beginning in September of each year,
Duchess d'Uzes installs herself in her
favOrite residence of Bonnelles, a mod
ern chateau of vast proportions, lying
in a park of 80 acres, about ten miles
from Rambouillet. Her two daughters,
Duches de Luynes and de Brissac, aid
her and her daughter-in-law, the young
Duchess Dues, to do the honors Of
the country house. When the hunting
season opens, old friends and serious"
hunters are invited; then come the royal
visits and the Partisan series. The clar-
ion is heard in the depths of the woods;
and the equipage, in its colors of red
and blue, with gold-and- silver lace, holds
its assizes at an old stone cross in
circular opening in the forest, two or
three miles from the chateau.

IWILL ENFORCE THE TREATY
A Clash with Russia Seems Not at
All Improbable.
Chinese-Amcrican Treaty Must he
Carried Out, Despite Russla's
Attitude I'm the Matter.

Washington, Oct, 10.-The United
States government will use its full
power to see that the China-American
treaty. over Manchuria, signed, Thurs
day, be carried out to it's full extent.
A clash with Russia is not at all i'm
probable, as the czar holds the two
Manchurian ports which are opened to
American trade, and may make siren
uous objection against the agreement
entered into by China. However, it is
understood here that the state depart
ment, acting upon the promise of Rus
sia to evacuatel lManchuria on October
8, feels that the st. Petersburg govern
ment no longer is a party to the ar
rangement, and representations to that
effect will be made, should Russia at
tempt to interfere.
The Russians are known to be over
wrought over the actions of Japan in
Corea and may be inadvertently led
into clash with the United States.

London, Oct. 1O.-The new cabinet

changed at a privy council meeting

OF DevOnshire, the late lord president
of the council, and Mr.. Arnold Forster,
the new war secretary. The after was
indisposed,. and the former was subse-
Quently received in private audience
by the king.

He Has Resianed.

State Superintendent of Educa-
ton Whitfield has received notice
that J. III. Kennedy had resigned as
county superintendent of education
of Simpson county. A number of
charges had been preferred against
Kennedy before the State board,
and on receipt of his resignation the
State board this morning dismissed
the charges. This action on Ken
nedy's part will probably save him a
deal of trouble.

CITY KNOWS NOT DICKENS.
Works OF the Famous English Author
Not to he Found ON the Book
shelves of Erie, Pa.


Up on the shores of Lake Erie nestles
a law-ab1ding community that is chiefly
famous for two things-Gen. Anthony
Wayne, the mad Anthony of the reVolu-
ton, died within it's corporate bounda-
ries, while Capt. Gridley, who command
ed the Olympia when Dewey's feet swept
Admiral Montojo's command from the
waters of Manila bay, sleeps in hum
bly, marked grave in a nearby ceme-
terry. OF course, Erie is one of Penn
sylvania's chief cities, and if it were
necessary for purposes of this ''whirl''
a half-dozen other bases for municipal
fame might be cited, with good reason.
But, in the opinion of one Philadelphian,
the city at the most northwestern boun-
dary of Pennsylvania is, and ever will
be, unique in one distinction, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph. It knows not
the greatest writer of the English Ian
guage, and is contented, almost boast
full, in its ignorance. Having several
hours stopover in Erie during a vaca-
ton jaunt, Mr.. Philadelphia concluded,
that Erie's public square was cool and
shady place to put in" his spare time.
He might have gone into the city
library-one Of Andrew Carnegie's gifts
but he didn't, and so this tale of woe
is written. Now, Mr. Philadelphia is
great admirer of Dickens and all the
works Of the great novelist, so he un-
hesitatingly concluded that he would
like to purchase copy of "Dombey and
Son." One block away loomed up in gilt
paint the enticing sign, 'Erie's Leading
Bookseller" The delegate from the city
on the Delaware directed his steps thith-
erward. He wandered among the shelves
for some minutes. Then a clerk ap-
preached. Il desire copy of 'Dombey
and Son." said the customer. "a cheap
cloth or. paper binding will do" Dill
gent search among heaps of novels
ranging in title from In His Steps, to
mick Carter" was made, while shelves
and counters were secured. But all in
vain. "Dombey" was not to be had. One
after another the works of the immortal
Boz were called of. Haven't it,
Don't recall the work, . mot in stock"
came the responses as each was named
Tiring Of this, but anxious to secure at
least one of Dickens works, the Philadel-
phian in turn called at Erie's two depart
ment houses. Both stores showed we'll
filed book counters, but not a single work
Dy Inc 6age OF Gad Hill. InacK6Fay,
Dumas, Scott, Elliot, all the other liter
ary leaders were represented in goodIy
numbers, but Dickens was an unknown
quantity. It was train time when the
stranger abandoned his search. and in
that long hunt he visited every bookshop
in the town, but not a single copy of
Dickens was forthcoming. We'll, WE'LL" !"
he remarked as he clambered aboard a
homeward- bound train. Just think Of
a city more than 100 years old without a
copy Of Dickens. Why you can't find a
bookstore in the eastern part Of the state
that hasn't his complete works, either in
expensively bound sets or in paper COW
ers. / wonder If they ever heard Of the
Bible or Shakespeare up here.

Clerks to Have Carnival.

The fall carnival by the Clerks
Association of Meridian is now prac-
tically assured, as the necessary
amount to defray the cost has been
raised by public subscription. The
amount contributed assures success
in all particulars. The exact date of
the festival will be announced later
It is expected, however, that the big
parade will be on Thanksgiving day.
The carnival will, of course, be in
progress for several days.

NLississippi State News


The visitors to the capitol are
still walking up the stairs. The
capitol commission has as yet not
appointed any one to run the eleva-
tors, neither has it named the cleo
trician or the engineer. 1t is not
known when these appointments
will be made. The secretary of
State says he has no authority to fill
these places, and it is not believed
that he will make the appointments.
If the appointments are made, and
they will have to be made as soon as
the weather turns cold, as the build
ing must be heated, it is believed
that they will be made by the capitol
commissions

No New Seats for the soIons.

The statement recently given out
that the capitol commission would
perhaps be able to buy the desks and
furniture. for the legislative halls
and not use the old desks appears to
have been at least premature, if not
wholly incorrect. At the meeting
of the commission last week the dis
cussion of this subject seemed to de-
velop the sentiment of the commits
sion as being favorable to putting
in the old desks for the next session
and leaving it to the legislature to
provide by appropriation for the
new equipment.

RUSSIANS IN MANCHURIA.
Not the RvmOtest Intention of
EvacuatInR.

New Chwang, Manchuria, Thursday,
Oct. 8.-The Russians are taking no
steps to restore the government of New
Chwang to the Chinese. On the con-
trary, they are fastening the erection
OF extensive government buildings,
and have added another gunboat to the
naval force here. Reports from north
ern Manchuria indicated that no move
ment has been made toward the evac-
uation of that territory, and Russian
officials are discussing the permanent
occupation of the points now held as
being the settled policy.
The Russian viceroy, Admiral AL
exief, has been conducting joint naval
and military maneuvers on a great
scale in the vicinity of Port Arthur
this week. Ninety Russian war vessels
OF all classes were engaged.
Have On Their War Paint.
A Japanese squadron is maneuver-
ing off Corea The Russian fleet is
perfectly ready. Il is lying with steam
up and the vessels are painted as in
war time.
China is supinely waiting the trend
of events, and seems disinclined to
take any steps in her own behalf, D
parently willing that Europe should
take the initiative in checkmating the
Cars moves.
Russia's position in regard to Man
churia remains practically unchange1,
while England, the United States ard
Japan, particularly the latter, lose
prestige in Corea in favor of Russia,
who is now apparently irresistible IN
the far East The Japanese are for
the present completely foiled, notwith-
standing the forcible policy manifested
by them in declining to countenance
the Russian memorandum Of last year
which proposed the recognition of
Japanese predominance in Corea in re
turn for Japan's sanction of Russia's
permanent occupation Of Manchuria.
Russian After War With Japan.
ST. Petersburg. Oct 1O.-The belief
is rapidly gaming ground that a war
with Japan is desirable for many rea-
sons.
TIE first reason is that the officials
think that Russia will never make
progress in the far east until Japan
has been effectively crippled, and, sec
ond, that war would afford the best
excuse for Russia not to evacuate Man
churia now, while by the end of the
war the situation would be so changed
that the United States and other pow
ers would not demand the evacuation
The military and naval war advo-
Gates are of the opinion that after 3
brief campaign Japan would resign al
| pretentions to the Asiatic mainland.
