Thixton. The vote taken on the suggestion
was unanimously in favor of accepting the
st. Louis invitation.
The following propositions and amend
ments to the constitution presented at

ported by the law committee, the Dody suS-
tanning the report:

A suggestion that the laws committee be
instructed to draft a law clearly defining
the limita ton and range of the jurisdiction
Of both electrotypers and stereotypers.
It was decided that any person serving
as an apprentice must file his application
for membership with the union having
Jurisdiction over the Office in which he was
working.
Considerable discussion arose and took
up a large part of the afternoon when
the question of local option as to whether
the subordinate unions should decide the
number of hours in a day and the number
of days in week that their members
should work was brought up. Some con-
tended that the International body should
decide this question. but as the argument
proceeded there appeared to be a trend Of
opinion in favor Of local option. When the
vote was taken local option prevailed.
At $40 the convention went into execu-
tive session to consider the Birdsan case.
The meeting behind closed doors was
long and stormy one.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Colored Lad Expires Under Peculiar
Circumstances

The singular circumstances attending the
death of twelve-year-old colored boy
claimed the attention of the police and
coroner last night. The boy was Percy
Saunders, son of James H. Saunders, a
barber. The family residence is at 1124
22d street northwest. The boy was sent to
the dairy of Walters & Watson, 23O6 L
street northwest, last night about o'clock,
to get bottle of milk, and just after start
ing homeward he passed several white boys
who were standing at the corner of 23d and
L streets. One of them made a charge con-
corning the colored lad, which the latter
took ofense at, and to which he entered
vigorous denial. Almost Immediately after
speaking to the other boys he fell to the
sidewalk, cutting his chin. He was un-
conscious when picked up and was hur-
riedly removed to his home. A physician
was called in, but the boy died soon after
he arrived.
The police were informed of the death
and OF the circumstance, and Lieut. Boyle
ordered an investigation. Policeman Hol-
hnberger. hearing of the remarks made
by the crowd Of white boys ascertained
that John Lennon, twelve years old, who
resides with his parents at 1928 l. street
northwest, was the one who made the re-
mark to the colored boy. The police were
told that no blows had been struck but
young Lennon was placed under arrest and
detained at the house of detention over
night. Acting Coroner Glazebrook made an
investigation this morning and announced
the conclusion that the boy suffered a fit,
which was the immediate cause Of death
Young Lennon was released from custody,

A GOOD ACCIDENT.
She Sleeps at Last.


Between the brain and the stom-
ach there Is the closest nerve con-
nection. And arrangement OF the
stomach prevents sleep, brain de-
preston follows, and if not correct
ed leads to insanity. Crazed from
stomach and bowel troubles, a Bos-
ton lady was restored to health by
using Abbey's Salt of Fruits. She
says:
"For about four years I could not
sleep without first taking drugs.
The effect of these narcotics and my
unnatural sleep made me irritable
and cross. My stomach was in a
most awful condition and at times l
was as crazy as a loon. 1t was
simply by accident that bought a
bottle of Abbey's Salt of Fruits. 1
am sure it is the greatest tonic laxa-
tive and life preserver in the world,
for it has redeemed me from a life Of
misery, has made my home happy
and my nights restful. My stomach,
the keynote of all the trouble, is now
as strong as that of an ostrich"

GOOD LEGISLATIVE TIMBER.

The citizens of Hattiesburg and cd
Perry county have prevailed upon
Hon. J. P. Carter to offer as candi-
date for the state senate, and there is
no question about his election. Such
men are needed in the law-making
body. Captain Carter has been there
before, wherefore he brings not only
ability and merit of very high and
valuable order, but experience, the
best of credentials in any cause to his
aid. He is large property owner, q
liberal, big-hearted man and citizen,
who has always been foremost in all

for the upbuilding and the advance
ment of this section of the country as
any man in it. He is native of the
piney woods section, graduate of the
University at Oxford, an ex-confeder-
ate soldier, successful lawyer and
business man generally. Old Perry
will not be alive to her interests if
she fails to send Captain Carter to
Jackson next January. Clarion Led

Capt. Carter from the Clarion-Ledger

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE
A Large Audience Present and Sur
prised That 1t Was a Better Re-
ligion Than Was Expected.

The Christian Science lecture last
night at the Christian Science hall by
Hon. W. c. Ewing of Chicago was
we'll attended. The hall was seated
with three hundred chairs and there
were about forty or fifty vacant chairs.
The audience was composed of the
representative people of the city and
we have heard many expressions that
Christian Science is different kind
of religion, that is, a better religion
than the general idea of what it is
Many express themselves as being we'll
pleased and highly entertained by
Judge Ewing, as he has that wonderful
power to hold the attention of audi
ences.
The Christian Scientists request us
to say that they feel grateful to the
good people of Hattiesubrg for such a
large audience and for the kind atten-
ton accorded the speaker. Judge
Ewing left this morning for New
Orleans and after leaving that city
his next lecture is in the City of
Mexico. 1t seems to be the desire of
a great many that the Scientists have
another lecture soon and that it be
delivered by that distinguished Missis-
sippi an lady. Mrs. Harper Mimms

Those twenty reasons why republicans
should scratch their tickets this year
seem to be worrying the Journal and the
ring" behind it. The Journal devoted
nearly two columns of it's first page last
week in an effort to make fun of them,
but it does not reply to a single one Of
the reasons. 1t accuses THE REPORTER
editor of being the author of them and
later says it is the work of other parties.
If the reasons were not good ones why
did not the Journal produce proof that
they We're untrue. Simply because
everyone is true and the journal knows
it better than anyone else.
