MADAME PADEREWSKI is NOT JEALOUS

Special correspondence fic:-. Geneva tt
the New York World says: The train
from Geneva TO Lausanne stopped at the
little village of Morges and tai sIen-
reached down to his heels, and with a
mass Of silky golden hal rstanding out all
over his head, boarded the train and
found a seat for the lady whom he was
seeing off She was a handsome viva
cious brunette, and that man hung upon
her words as If the two were about to
put the ocean between them.
The man was Paderewski, and he was
saying goodby to his wife for few
hours. as she was going into Lausanne to
do some shopping
There was something about him that
was an appeal for solitude just then, so
followed behind as he left the village
and took a quiet path skirting the hi Is
that led TO his estate, "Riond de Bos-
son"
The villa stands in sixty acres Of land.
with a vineyard and farm adjoining, built
IN the modern French style on a fine ele-
walton. From the garden terraces you can
look across Lake Leman, three mics wide
and see the snowclad top of Mont Blanc,
the whole making picture of surpass
ing beauty on a moonlight night All the
trees near the house were planted by
Psderewski and his wife when they
bought the estate several years ago. and
the whole place has bee ntransformed
since then.
Paderewski never forgets a person he
has met, and when he has not an APP
preaching concert to I'll him with ner-
vou$ tortures-which he suffers at each
public appearance and expects to as long
as the lives-he is the most charming OF
Accmpanions. II reads a great deal. es-
= pecialfy when he is travelling. but gener-
ally his old favorites. Shakespeare. Goe-
the and Dante, and the great Polish poet.
Nickiew;etz, each in the original course
This is my wife's kingdom" he sad
with a smile when l asked to see the
house and grounds. You must wait for
that until tomorrow afternoon when she
is back from Lausanne.
So we talked about books. and then I
steered the conversation around TO the
women Of different countries. because
Paderewski. the idolized of half the wom-
en- of the world, had interesting IDEAS on
the subject, I felt sure
Feminine devotion he receives in quite
different spirit from the average matt
nee idol, and he sometimes annoyed At
the silly stories published about him.
1T is natural that the greater part of
my audiences should be made UP of wom-
en-, especially in America. where the men
do not have so much time TO devote TO
music as the women have. But the stor-
les about the numerous ladies who have
asked for locks of hair and photographs
are mere invention" he protested
Where do l find the most musical
women? In Germany. of course That l.
because love for music is traditional in
Germany and has become now a habit
AS far as instinct for music is concerned.
the German women are TO better off than
the American. French or Enrlsh
II found Italian women very musical
but American women perhaps the most
appreGiative."

FEDERAL COURT.
Grand Jury After Bind tigers
Little Negro on Trial For Rob-
bing Postofflce.
Special to the Daily Progress.


Special to the Daily Progress.
jackson, Nov. 1.-THE federal
grand jury has gone after the blind
tigers of jackson. and things wi be
made interesting FOR those who have
been selling liquors. Uncle Sam does
not object to man selling whiskey
in a dry town or county if he has the
regular aud prescribed United States
revenue license, but this license he
must have, and it is safe to state that
very few CT thu blind tigers that
have been operating have this neces-
sary authority from the government
to sci. whiskey.
The grand jury hit upon a very
novel and also very simple plan to in
dict the lawbreakers.
Mayor Hamimngway was summoned
to appear before that body and to
bring his police docket. Those who
have been tried before him for selling
whiskey and have been convicted, and
have not in their possession govern
ment revenue license, are to be indiet-
ed and tried in the federal court for
ulawful retailing. Before the federal
court they will not get fine OF $50
and costs, but will be sent 10 the Il d.
eral prison for good term if convict
ed.
Gus Catching, Dick Ford and Sam
Dixon were indicted this afteroon by
the grand jury tor unlawful retailing
and were put under $500 bond each for
their appearance from day to day III
court. These three men are charged
with running blind tigers in Rankin
county, just across Pearl river. The
efforts of the Rankin county authori-
ties and the Jackson police to break
up these places have been in vain.
Theo. Hemingway and Joe Ascher
went on the bond Of Catchings and
Dixon.
This morning another very youth
full prisoner was brought before Judge
Niles on the charge of robbing post
Office. The youth this time halls
from Greenwood. and his ma ne is
Potion Story. He is eight years OF
age, and midget in size. Story Is
charged with robbing the postoffice
at Greenwood and getting about tie
dollars from the cash drawer This
charge he did not deny when brought
before Judge Niles. but entered plea
of guilty. He explained that he put
the money in pocket that had hole
in it and the money was lost. He
regretted losing the monty a great
deal more than having stolen it.
This is the second prisoner eight
years of age that is now in the jail
as federal prisoners. The other is
from Canton, named Sanders. Judge
Niles has not pronounced sentence
upon Story.
The court is busy on the ease OF
