Break Occurs Near Greenville, Miss,

Lands in YazOO Delta.

Greenville, Miss, March 2s.-Death
and destruction rides the flood that has
inundated this city through the break
in the levee. At an early hour this
morning the streets are running rivers,
and reports of heavy loss of life are
coming in.
Maj. John NJ. Sears, who has charge
temporarily of the government Office
here, stated tonight that the break is
unquestionably the worst in the his
tory of the levee system. He says the
entire delta south as far as Vicksburg
will be inundated, and the fine farming
lands in Washington, Bolivar and
Sharkey counties will be under water
for more than two weeks. This is the
first break to be reported on the Mis-
sissippi side since the present rise be-
gan.

Representative Shattuc, the fat. jolly
joking member from Cincinnati, is
never so happy as when he is playing
a practical joke on his fellow mem
bers or some of the employees of the
house. Not even the bright boys,
called pages of the house, are i'm
mune from his playfulness. Many
of the little fellows have the auto
graph craze, and they are keen after
the signatures of distinguished or
conspicuous persons, says the New
York World.
The other day Representative Shat
tue hustled into the house from the
direction of the senate. Meeting one
of the youthful autograph iends, the
Cincinnati member remarked: "Say,
bud, I just passed Liliuokalani, the
former queen of Hawaii, on her way
to the senate. You ought to get her
name in your book"
"Bud" only needed the suggestion.
and moment later, album in hand,
he was dashing along the corridor
trying to locate the dusky queen, as
described by Mr.. Shattuc. In the
ladies' reception-roor of the senate
Bud approached portly colored
woman, the shade of rusty nail,
decked out in flaming attire, big
red hat, and a plentiful supply of
pinchbeck jewelry.
"Would you please give me your
autograph" asked Bud, pointing to
writing table, upon which there
was pen and ink.
"What you mean, chile?" inquired
the supposed queen, Indignantly.

USE OF PHOTOGRAPHS.
Frequently Employed to Advertise
Articles of Merchandise With
out Perm lssiOn.

at would seem that if anything on
earth belonged to a man it is his
physiognomy, and the right to its re-
production by Photographic process or
otherwise, remarked member OF the
District bar to a Washington Star
man. .'Yet the difficulty that some OF
our prominent statesmen and leaalng
public characters have in the attempt
to remove, by legal proceedings, their
facial representations from advertise
ments of brands of cigars and liquors,
and on the part of several ladies to
prevent flour dealers and other ven
doris of merchandise from reproducing
their pretty faces on the labels or
goods would lead to different con-
clusion.
sit also appears odd that while the
law jealousy guards persons good
name, or the use of his or her name
in any respect, and bestows damages
| and inficts punishment upon the Of
| fender, a photograph is seized upon
by anybody and used without regard
to the owners feelings or rights, I'M
less it be copyrighted, and often the
copyright is ruthlessly violated.
while there have been some. decI-
sions, it is to be hoped that fixed
legal precedent may become firmly es'
tablished which will insure to the high
est as we'll as the humblest citizen
the right to place legal embargo upon
the practice of the promiscuous use
of his features by another, but it
would appear that it is rather hard
when one is obliged to go to the ex-
pensive process of the courts to en-
force a right which ought to be en-
| forced by mere verbal or written pro-
| test; and this right should be extend
ed to the heirs of a deceased person.
''The practice mainly arose from the
free use of the photographs of ac-
tors and actresses. 1t is to the inter
est of the members of the theatrical
profession to keep their features be-
fore the public as much as possible,
and they encourage the practice rath-
er than frown upon it. But to take
| the features of beautiful society
woman, or lady in private life, and
use them on label of merchandise,
even without her accompanying name,
or the features of deceased public
man, is a personal insult and little
short of grievous outrage.
| Manufacturers of all kinds OF
merchandise and articles, as is appar-
emit from bill posters and other
placard advertisements, use, without
compunction or consent, the features
of men and women, and often their
names, to bring goods to the attention
of the public. The offensive side of
taking a mans face and using it, either
alone or with the features of other
men, smiling in appreciation of the
flavor of brand of cigars, wines Or
liquors, is SO great that it need not
be adverted to, while it must be real
cruelty to the family of person de-
ceased to see the features of their
loved ones thus publicly displayed to
the profit of strangers"

Annual Encampments.

1t has been announced that the an
nual encampment of the national
guard this summer will only be for
eight days instead of ten: The change
is made with a view to economy, as
the entire brigade may be taken to

having granted permission to the
governor to allow that much of the
annual appropriation for encamp-
ment purposes to be expended for
the trip south. The order providing
for the annual encampment is being
prepared. The Third regiment will
be the only one to go into camp be-
fore July 4, the First regiment fol-
lowing Immediately afterward, and
then the second. 1t has generally
been customary for two regiments to
enter camp during June: The Third
will probably arrive here on June Is.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Pool selling on State Fair Grounds.


A lively discussion is in progress,
over the attempt to secure the repeal
of the anti-pool-selling law of Mime
sofa. The bill, which is said to be
backed by Chicago sporting men, also
compels the Minnesota state fair board
to lease the fair grounds to a recently
organized association which proposes
to conduct running meetings during a
large part of each summer and sell
p@ols on these and other races.
Two important questions are in-
voived-or, more accurately speaking,
three questions. First, do the people
of Minnesota want to repeal the anti
pool-selling law? Second, if they do,
do they want to license pool-selling on
grounds belonging to the state of Min
nesota? Third, what will be the effect
upon Minnesota's great state fair2
Regarding the last of these ques-
tions the officials of the state fair, and
others conversant with the facts, speak
with no uncertain sound. They say
that the state fair has prospered as
never before since pool-selling was
abolished; that it has received the sup
port of large class who would not
countenance pool-selling; that there
would be an enormous loss in gate re-
ceipts if pool-selling were re-intro-
duced; that the lease of the grounds
during large part of each summer
would drive out the harness horses
now trained each season on the
grounds and virtually destroy this
source of revenue to the fair; and, per-
haps most important of all, the use of
the grounds by an outside organiza-
ton during the greater part of the
summer would very seriously interfere
with the preparations for the annual
fairs. The city papers are unit in
opposing the bill, as one contrary to
the best interests of the state.

 Gov. Brodie about it and asked hm
 to cause them to be held until the mat

 Mexican authorities nave evidently
 either ascertained that the men are not
 guilty of the crimes with which they are charged or else the crimes are not extraditable.
 The authority of the governor for the
 release of the men was asked for. Gov crnOr Trodic is out of the territory and Acting Governor Stoddard is out of town aEI will not be back for a day or
