A Brookhaven man dreamed the

Grand Jury Report.
Brookhaven, Miss,
November 12, 1908.
To the Honorable d. M. Miller,
Judge Circuit Court, 7th Judi
cial District, presiding at Brook
haven, November term, 1908.
We, the grand jury, would re-
spectfully submit this, our final
report.
We have been in session 8 days;
have sworn and examined 147
witnesses and returned into court
81 true bills of Indictment.
We find that crime of the most
serious nature has been compare
lively small in our county since
last term of this court; but we
ara constrained to report that the
smaller offenses ale exceedingly
numerous. In fact, the greater
part of our time has been given to
investigation of the minol
effenses.
We have carefully examined
the books and accounts of the
sheriff and tax collector, the books
of the county treasurer; the books
and accounts of the superintendent
Of public education, and the
dockets of very nearly all the
justices of the peace. We are
pleased to report the books and
accounts and dockets of these
various county officers correct and
well kept and the moneys of the
people collected and disbursed
fairly and honestly by them.
We visited the new county jail
in body. We are proud of its
symmetry and beauty as a build
ing; its conyeniences and comforts
to officials and prisoners could
scarcely be improved upon, and
we congratulate the taxpayers OF
Lincoln county upon the acquisi-
tion of this splendid property.
We delegated a committee to
visit and examine into the affairs
of the county poor house and con-
vict farm, and they report to this
Grand Jury that these institutions
are in good condition, very well
kept, and the inmates thereof
kindly and humanely treated. The
financial affairs of the convic
farm have proven the methods
adopted by the county of working
the prisoners on the convict farm
is a disastrous failure from a
money standpoint. We believe
that the Board of Supervisors
should select the best man they
can procure for the management
of this institution and a man who
could and would give his undi-
lyided attention to the convict farm.
We would call the attention OF
| the Board of Supervisors to the
defective stove pipe and chimney
in the prison on the farm. And
to the lack Of bedding and wear.
ling apparel of the prisoners and
inmates of the poor house. These
things should be procured before
the cold weather comes on.
We solemnly protest against the
plan Of oommingling the convicts
and the unfortunate poor together
The inmates of the poor house
should be far removed from The
baleful influences of the viciou;
class OF conyicts.
We deem it important and i'm
peratiYe that the water closets II
the court house yard be put il
first class sanitary condition.
We desire to return our SINGER,
i thanks to Judge Miller and to th,
district attorney, the Hon. j. B
Greayes, for the many favors AM
courtesies extended us and fol
their aid and assistance in the dis
Icharge of our duties.

Wireless Telegraph.


So rapidly do new ideas take on prac-
teal shape in these days of wondrous
development, and enter into the worlds
activities factors to be reckoned Gith,
that what seemed but a few months ago
the visions of enthusiasts press upon our
civilization for recognition and regula-
ton. This is true of many things, the
trolley, the telephone, the automobile, but
of none is 1t more true than Of that mar
velous invention, the wireless telegraph
A little over a year ago wireless telegra-
ply had reached the stage of receiving the
contemptuous interest with which we are
apt to regard novel phenomena which we
suppose it is impossible to turn to prac-
teal uses. But, month after month, a new
advance was made; one obstacle after an
other was overcome. People began to
acknowledge that in a small and restricted
way there might be something in it. 1t was
entertaining, certainly, and when at last
messages began to be flashed across the
sea and daily papers with the news of the
world were published on ocean liners even
the most sceptical had to surrender.

LII. D., who for twenty-eight years, begin
ming with the founding of Ocean Grove,
was at the head and front of the organi
cation, has secured 1890 of the necessary
amount and that the committee anticipates
small trouble in raising the balance. The
decision has been arrived at to erect a
bronze statue of DIR. Stokes
The Joint commission of bishops and min
listers of the two grand divisions, north

fcrmity in church methods throughout the
county.
A Young Woman'S Musical Club will be
another new feature this year. 1t is COM

Statues in Public Parks.
the Architectural Record.

From the Architectural Record.
In designing a garden or square, the fix
ing of sites for future statues should be to
the design as obvious a problem as the
fixing of tree sites in respect to their fu-
ture growth. Thus every design should be
considered as a complete whole There
should be a fixed number of sites for flu
ture use. the utilization Of which completes
the original idea. and excludes the intro
duction of further monuments. How far
from this are the actual conditions needs
no telling to the observant New Yorker
The prevailing method of placing statuary
in our gardens is a farce-a disgrace to the
park department, an eyesore to the public
and a heartbreaking reflection to the
sculptor.
The majority of the sites for these
statues appear mere afterthoughts,
which in reality they are-utteriy fncon-
gruous to their surroundings. They seem
to have been waylaid en- route to their al
lotted positions.

their own coffee and tea. They suggested
that the old woman get coffee pot and
make coffee in the building. Permission
was granted for this purpose also, and from
this dates the expansion OF the business OF
the lunch rooms.
The work of the cateress in the Interior
Department attracted the attention or
other enterpris!ng persons, and IN a very
short time three cafes were established In
the building with an absolutely unlimited
menu. A person could get almost anything
under the sun he wanted at either OF these
places The clerks in the building reasoned
that they would be foolish to patronize a
place where they could get nothing but
sandwiches and coffee, when they could
obtain anything they wanted without going
outside of the building, and thus the bust
ness of the lunch room was hurt. The
proprietors of the same made inquiry and
soon found what had happened and why
they were losing custom. 1t was then that
the lunch rooms increased their menu and
laid before the tempting eyes of their GUS
toners all of the delicacies of the season,
put up in most appetizing forms.
Back to the Lunch Rooms.
The lunch room proprietors equipped their
establishments with long copper-covered
tables which were kept heated with steam,
and on these tables they placed and kept
heated all sorts of things in large quanti-
ties making it possible for them to supply
their customers much easier and more
quickly than the department cafes could.
The clerks. a rule. appreciated the
change and went back to the lunch rooms.
because many of them desired to get out
of the building in which they worked dur
ing their lunch hour. The department
lunch rooms did not go to rack and ruin
by the loss of custom. however. There is
a certain class of department clerks who
will always eat in the building. and their

Places in Washington Where Depart

SCENES AT NOON HOUR

One of the things that Washington has
become famous for is its numerous quick
lunch establishments, where the tired and
hungry wayfarer may find rest and re-
freshment at the lowest possible price The
dairy lunch, as it came into a number
of years ago, provided for only the SIM
plest forms of nourishment for the busy
man who had but a brief space of time in
which to eat or the hungry man who had
but short purse with which to buy. AS
years have passed the idea has developed,
and one by one articles Of food have been
added to the dairy lunch menu until now
the word dairy has been dropped, and,
while the establishments are still known as
lunch rooms, there are few of them that do
not place before their customers a menu
that is as long as that of almost any hotel,
and is without its complications On the
lunch room bill of fare cheese is cheese and
not frOmage; coffee is coffee, and not cafe,
and cornbeef hash is very plainly and red
olentiy what its name implies.
1t is probable that the developers of the
dairy lunch idea owe more to the depart
ment clerks of the city than to any other
class for their Increased profits, for profits
have multiplied with the extension of the
business, and the increase of the number
of dishes set forth. 1t is no more than nat
ural therefore, that the best and most
widely patronized lunch rooms are to be
found in the vicinity of the large buildings
controlled by the government.
Patrons From the Departments.
Any person who doubts the influence of
the government clerk on the business of
the lunch room should stand at the cor
ner of 9th and streets or at 10Th and F
streets some day at noon and watch the
streams of clerks that pour from all the
doors of the department buildings in the

vicinity. If the doubter should still ex-
press a disbelief that the influence of these
people could make or break lunch room
he should enter the department buildings
themselves and investigate the cafes to be
found there Few people know it, but there
is an eating establishment in almost every
one of the government buildings, and it is
this rivalry which has compelled the dairy
lunch room to furnish a greater variety of
viands to it's customers.
Just how this came about can be well
illustrate by the history of the cafe at the
Interior Department, which is of the
largest of it's class. a number of years ago
an old woman conceived the idea of bring
ing sandwiches and pies to the clerks in
this building and secured permission from
the Secretary of the Interior to do SO. Her
business increased from the start. Her
customers felt the want of something to
drink, however, and grew tired of making

pened by the large crowds that congregate
about the lunch rooms on F street near
9th and on 18th street near F street at noon
every day. Any day the departments are
open hundreds of clerks can be seen stand
ing on the sidewalk munching fruit they
have purchased from the score or more Of
vendors that hover about the departments
and reap large profits at this time of the
day. The lunch rooms in the vicinity are
crowded with clerks and others, taking
their midday meal. so that the person I'M
familiar with such sights is very apt to
think something has happened from the
large crowd which gathers.
The latest thing in lunch rooms is the
automatic nickel-in-t1e- slot establishment
where everything one could wish can be
purchased by simply dropping the money
in n slot and pressing either a button or
turning a knob. There is one of these
