This will be the means of inducing
many Of the old confederate veterans

done so otherwise. The occasion

occurred in the state and thousands of

Governor Longino and his staff are
expected to go to st. Louis in body
to attend the dedicatory exercises of
the Louisiana purchase exposition
about the 30th of the present month.
The governor is taking great deal OF
interest in the exposition, as he
should, and he will do all in his
power to have Mississippi fully and
creditably represented. But this is
right And every good citizen of the
state should feel an interest in the ex-
position and lend his aid and influence
to have this state we'll represented,
both in exhibits and large number
of people.

A Chicago alderman has struck the
keynote. He is a patriot and believes
evidently in the increase of the popu-
lation of the city in which he lives.
He has introduced a little slip of
paper entitled an ordinance, and runs
in about this style:
Under the title of An Ordinance
to prevent unjust discrimination by
landlords against parents, Alderman
the city council measure intended
to make liable to fine of not less
than So nor more than 500, owners
and agents of fiat buildings in Chicago
who refuse to rent apartmenst TO per-
sons with children unless such agents
and fiat owners are able to prove-that
the children of prospective tenants are
peculiarly boisterous and disagreeable.
The preamble to Alderman Ruxton S
measure is as follosw:
Whereas, 1t has become and is the
custom OF owners, agents and mana
gers of apartment houses, fats and
tenements to discriminate against and
refuse to let or rentsto parties or fami-
lies in which there are children or in
fants, thereby discouraging and mill
tating against what would be the nat
ural and probable increase to the popu-
lation of Chicago, contrary to the in
junction imposed upon our first pa
rents upon their expulsion from the
garden of Eden to multiply and replen-
ish the earth, and against the policy
and purpose of our national admins
tration.
The ordinance was referred to the
council judiciary committee.
Now there is nothing really so very
bad about the idea advanced by the
gentleman when one will look at it in
the right light. If families are to be
kept out of tenant houses because
they have children then there is no
encouragement for people to raise chill
dren. If there were no children Chi
cago would not claim a population of
1900, 600, and these children have to
live in houses, but if the tenant
houses are to be closed to them they
will have to go elsewhere.

1t seems after all there will be no
overflow of the Mississippi river on
the east side this year, or at least
there is great hope that the planters
will be spared the overflow. The
river is falling at Memphis and as
high up as Cairo while it is rising
very slowly at other points. 1t was
also falling at New Orleans yesterday.
The planters are very hopeful and it
seems that the threatening oevrfow
is passing away.

he has dropped his daily paper and

Senator Money went little out of

have much to do with the points OF
argument in the case and the gentle

The Hattiesburg Fire Company,
which is a voluntary one deserves
much encouragement, at least it should

WITH A fLESHLESS GRIN
A CHEERING sPooK SMILES NIGHT
LY AT JAMES H. KELLY.
At Least This Is the narrowing
Tale Kelly Tells the Police, with
Appeals for Protection.

Captain, they's spooks up to my house."
Thus complained James H. Kelly to Cap
tain Hyland last night at the police station.
The captain smiled increduously. He
doesn't believe in ghosts or spooks. Kelly,
however. is of a more superstitious turn of
mind and declares that both exist He veri-
fies his argument with the statement that
his home is also the domicile of CHASTITY
spook.
Kelly is a restaurant waiter and lives in
a room in the second story of a building
at the corner of Market and New Jersey
streets. The spook with which Kelly
claims he lives is grinning skeleton, with
long. thin fingers and finger nails four inch
es in length 1t walks noiselessly and is
always smiling fiendishly through the
darkness. 1t comes forth between the hours
of and and makes the round of Kelly's
room. examining articles and taking them
in its claw-like fingers. The other morning
1t put the long-nailed fingers of its cold
hand Kelly's head and smiled at him
with fieshless grin. Kelly was scared
that for a time he couldn't make sound,
but when the nails and knuckles of the
spook's bony hand began to sink into his
flesh he set up shout Immediately the
spook strobe. away in the darkness, keeping
his hideous face always on Kelly, who
leaped from his bead and ran into the street
in his night clothes, awakening the neigh
bors with cries of II seen inn L seen i'm
His neighbors finally persuaded him to go
back to bed. which he did, but he said he
could not sleep.
Every night since the spook comes to his
bedside and begins to feel his head with the
cold bony hand. AS soon as Kelly shouts
the spook vanishes. Kelly says he lives in
continual terror and believes that some
one has been murdered in the room. He
called at the police station late last night
and asked Captain Hyland TO come up to
his room about o'clock and try to arrest
the spook. The captain promised. Kelly's
father accompanied him to the police sta
tion and when asked IL he had seen the
ghost said, mo, 1 hain't seen this yere
spook, but 1 have heerd sight of noise
and strange sounds in my travels from
place to place in this yere country"

WAWASEE SUMNER CAMP
SECRETARY NEIGHBOR, OF Y. M. C.
A., is MAKING PREPARATIONS.
Meals Will BE Taken at Nearby Ho-
tel and Cooks Strikers Are Not
Feared-List of Signers.

Final arrangements are being made by
Secretary J. E. Neighbor, of the Y. NJ. c.
A., for the annual senior camp at Lake
wawasee. which will be held from July 20
to Aug. 3. 1t was the idea at first to camp
those going would not give vacations for
longer than two weeks. An exceedingly
good time is anticipated, and everything will
be done to make the camp life pleasant. An
enjoyable feature will be the arrival of
about twenty young men from the institu-
tional department of the NJ. E. Church at
Mishawaka under w. N. Northcott and
Ralph Jones. both formerly with the In
dianapolis Y. M. C. A. Their camp will be
adjoining that of the local association, and
athletic contests of all sorts will be held be-
tween the two organizations.
Mr.. Neighbor has attended to one thing
which will be an innovation in outing par
ties. That is the securing of meals at a
nearby hotel. This will do away with the
usual worry and trouble caused by strikes
of cooks, and put the camp on modern
two campfire gatherings during the stay,
at which speakers will go to address the
boys One will be arranged by the local
association and the other by the Mishawaka
The site of the camp is in a most delight
full place, near the summer residence of Mr..
j. x. Lilly. The boys will occupy a big
tent, S0x20 feet, in which cots will be placed.
This tent will also be used for a sitting
room. There will be about thirty members
in the party, eighteen of whom nave al
ready signed to go. The names of those
who are on the list are as follows
Howard Ryan, Frank Ruby, Edward Strong,
Charles Rhodenbeck, William Keefe, Jacob
Efroymson. Joe M. Johnson, c. M. Dowell.
Edward Taylor, John Connor. Clyde Eugh,

Memory Leaflets.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
A bright Brooklyn girl, whose college
days ended this month, has got up
memory leaflet'' for each member of her
class that makes an interesting souvenir
and embodes in humorous form a certain
amount of class history. The 'leafiet" has
a cover cut from cardboard in the form Of
a leaf. either maple, oak, ivy, holly, four
leaf clover. linden, geranium or other va
riety, selected for it's special significance
Thus the linden has been assigned to
German classmate, because of the latter S
liking for this variety. To girl of English
descent has been given the holly: the gera-
MUM Is set apart for the girl who has
always been known as sweet by her
classmates, while bitter-sweet leafiet has
been designed for a much-admired but Sar-
castle member of the group. The outer
leafiet is tinted and veined to look as much
like the natural one as possible, and COW
ers number of thin cardboard duplicates,
unlimited. On each second one of these is
written an original couplet comparing the
girl receiving the "leahet with the holly,
oak, maple other leaf which forms its
cover. Then follow in succession the prin-
cipal events of the college years of the
scriblng the part taken by the recipient.
Other duplicate leaves contain sentimental
or humorous illusions to minor events or
certain characteristics possessed by the
particular girl receiving the "leaflet." The
duplicates are laid one on top of the other
and tied with ribbon, that they may
easily be laid back and read.

How to Clean Jewelry.

Washington Star.
Women who value their jewels may be
glad TO receive few hints on their care
and management. Pearls, it is said, should
be inclosed in box containing a piece of
the root of the ash, and under these condi-
tions they never lose jot Of their pristine
beauty.
Diamonds are easily cleaned by placing
them under tap and allowing rush of
cold water to deluge them. But this is a
dangerous experiment, a stone may be
loosened in the operation. better plant is
to carefully wash them with a light lather
of soap On a soft brush, wash off the lather
with cold water and polish with chamois
leather dipped In eau de cologne.
Diamond ornaments tied up in a little
bag of bran preserve their briliancy in a
wonderful way
Jewels may often safely be cleaned with
cold water and ordinary yellow soap. 1t is
advisable, however, to lay them in saw
dust rather than dry them in the ordinary
way.
II opals have become scratched or spoiled
in wear rub them softly in a moistened
wash leather, then polish with precipitated
chalk with another piece of leather. and
finally wash with rain water and a soft
brush.
Ivory ornaments, brushes powder boxes
paper knives, etc, may be whitened with
peroxide of hydrogen or cleaned with a
brush stepped in water to which a good
pinch of carbonate of soda has been added

are even more attractive. They well de-
serve the old-fashioned name of cloud

also fiimy and cloudlike. They can be had

the latest Scarfs are those of chenille. They

lace ones of every sort and price. Malta
lace is the seasons chief favorite. Indeed,
white or cream laces have quite super

scarfs of Malta lace have both elegance and
