A BRIDES GIFT

The fashionable Riverside drive dis
trct is tittering over the originality
of a young bride last week, whose
gifts to her eight bridesmaids were
garters. Each girl received single
garter The bride was deep in ar
rangements before the wedding when
one of a popular superstition in her,
one of the Danish servants, told
her of her native land. The maid said
the very essence of good luck, both for
bride and bridesmaid, might be accom-
plished, by the bride giving the left
garter to her attendant after the we'd
ding ceremony. The Riverside drive
belle thought the superstition de-
lightful, and being somewhat ''fadih,
she decided to try the Danish tails
man "But', cried the girl II have
eight bridesmaids and only one "left
garter ~ This predicament he confd-
ed to her tiance, blushing prettily as
she spoke the unmentionable word.
The man solved the problem in a mo-
ment. He told her to wear eight pair C
garters for eight days, and en- the we'd
ding day wear all left garters. In this
way each bridesmaid might receive
an acclimated garter teeming with
good luck. The ceremony was flourish
ing, and before the white robed bride
slipped into her going away gown
she called her faithful bridesmaids to
a retiring room. 'Girls, she said
" here is your gift. Then she un-
clasped eight left garters that encir-
cled her silk hose and each girl re-
ceived her talisman,. A still worse
dilemma was when the ushers asked
the bridesmaids what their brides
gifts were. They answered Some
thing lucky New York Post.

AUDREY.

What promises to be the dramatic
treat of the season will be the ap-
pearance here of Miss Eleanor Robson
as Audrey, the heroine Of Mary John
ston's famous novel by that name.
Audrey will be presented at the
Grand Opera house on Friday, March
27th, exactly as seen in New York.
Theatre goers who have not made the
acquaintance, professionally, of this
charming actress, are very certain to
be delighted with her performance.
In stage form, the story is divided
into six tableaux, the first being the
May Day festivities at Jamestown,
when Audrey engages in the famous
foot race, and comes off victorious.
The next scene is located at Fair
View Giebe House, where Harvard
comes to visit Audrey. The third
tableaux is the ball room at the gov
ernor's mansion. In this scene Audrey
comes decked out in fine clothes and
is ,corned by all The next scene is
the interior of Bruton Church, in
which the denunciation of Audrey &C.

LONGING FOR SENATOR

The Delta Register, published at
Clarksdale, gave the first official an.
nouncement of Gov. A. H. Lonpino,s
candidacy for the United States Senate
to succeed Hon, H. D. Money. Tn
making the announcement the Regis.
ter pays Gov. Longino a very high
compliment and speaks of him as he.
ing in every way qualified for the
position. 1t also says the announce
ment will be hailed with delight
thhroughout Mississippi. This latter
part remains to be seen.
That Governor Longino has made a
good Chief Executive the Herald is
not going to deny for there have been
many admirable things in his admin
istratlon. On the other hand there
have been some that the Herald could
not endorse. That he has some quail
itications for the Senate the Herald
will not deny, but do not think that
for this position he is as we'll uualifi.
ed as Hon. H. D. Money, and for
that reason we will give our support
to Mr.. Money so long as the two are
the only candidates.
Gov. Longino is good politician
and will make an active canvass for
the coveted honor of representing
Mississippi in the Senate. Pitted a.
gainst him is one of the finest and the
best politicians in the State, a man
who has no superior as an organizer.
So the race for United States Senator
is not going to be dull one.
The announcement of the Governor
was no surprise, for it had been ex-
pected for several weeks. -Yazoo City

CELESTE MILLINERY OPENING.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
of Next Week.

On next Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday the Celeste Millinery Par
lors will have their Grand Opening
Several weeks ago The Times an
nounced the extensive preparations
then being made by the enterprising
ladies, Mrs. Tuttle and Miss Shelton,
to make the opening one of the larg-
est in the history Of their business
AMI grandest as far as display, ever
seen by the ladies of Greenville.
From a visit to their store and
peep into the hundreds of boxes stored
away on the shelves, each containing
a creation to make the heart of some
lady admirer leap with joy when her
eySe get sight of it and others envy
her for buying it before they had a
chance, we can say that those who at
tenl the opening will find it even II
greater sight than it is now painted
to them i'll words,
1t is very natural every season to
say that the new styles are more beau
tiful than ever. But the plain truth
is, the styles in hats and their trim
mings this year are the most exquisite

that the council every ten years should
have the right to regulate the maxi
mum price for gas. Mr.. Taylor con-
Cured in the contention and quite a
discussion followed. some holding that
the rate should be based on the price
of coal, and others that it should be
! left free for the council then in power
to decide. Mr.. Bell also objected to
this but seemed willing to amend his
! franchise so as to give council the
right to regulate the rate every ten
years, to lie based OH the price of coal
then and nov. He read letters giving
the price of gas at several cities in
the state, conditions being the same
as in Greenville, where the price of
gas was the same rate as he asked in
his franchise.
While the matter was under discus
sion and just as Mr.. Watt moved that
the franchise be granted, Mr.. Tilford
came In and asked that it be read
again so that he would know what he
was voting on. After another dis
cussiion he was given time to read
the charter and when the vote was
but the charter was lost.

THE RIVER SITUATION.

Another week of anxiety over the
river situate has passed The great
stre m Is still confined within It's
strong banks of earth and no where In
this district today is there any sign OF
danger reported or break imminent,
The mighty river continues to rise at
the rate of from to- inches day, but
the levees show no sign of weakening
anywhere and where low they are be-
ing built up with sacks of earth.
1t will be Monday or Tuesday before
the river will become stationary at
t hi point, and I'D q ng from
points above,the water will fall slowly,
and If the equinoxial storms, which
start today. cause the swollen stream
to beat against the levees 1t will take
work to keep the water out. This
though, we no pc will not be the case
and the same weather continue as we
are now experiencing, Still the peo-
Pile should be un the watch and be pre-
pared for the worst.
From the rise OF the water today with
gauge standing at 4S, 1t looks like 1t
Will reach at least.49 before the water
becomes stationary, unless a break oc.
ours.
The levee at Huntington is now built
up and will hold back all the water in
sight, SO no danger is now looked for
from this point which week ago was
considered one of the weakest,
Leland, Ark, levee was threatened
with danger Thursday from caving,
but Capt. E. G. Tollinger, by engineer
ing skill. has stopped this danger. and
it is thought now that unless some ac-
cident happens 1t will hold to the end.
From the bulletin received at Il to-
day the report from above is favorable
and the river is falling at Memphis,
which should cause our river to come
to a stand tomorrow or Monday,
The session OF the chancery court will con-
tinue until Wednesday or Thursday Of mex.

THE CITY COUNCIL
Held Sessions Tuesday and Wednes-
day Nights This Week.

The council met on last Tuesady
night to consider the granting of the
gas franchise. The franchise, with
the alterations as suggested by the
councilmen at the last meeting was
read by the proposed gas company S
attorney, Mr.. Percy Bell.
After the reading Councilman Blum
held that the company should be
made to give bond in the sum of
80, 900 to comply with franchise; that
he considered the franchise worth
something. This Mr.. Bell held to be
unjust, as they had right to grant
other gas companies franchise and
if they started that what they had
would pay city for franchise if they
failed to carry out conditions of fran
chise or complete it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Extra Session Next Fall. Other II.
teresting Items.

Washington, Mar. 49, The special
session Of the senate is drawing rap.
idly to close. The leaders Of both
parties have agreed to vote on the 90.
lumbian tretay and a vote Of the Oh.
ban treaty win follow as soon ae
practicable That both conventions
will be ratified is the belief Of all
well informed senators. The Demo-
cratss. will. it is understood, vote
unanimously for two amendments to
the Panama canal treaty, one provid-
ing that the United States shall exer-
else absolute sovereignty over the strip
of land through which the canal will
pass, the other eliminating that az.
ticle of the treaty which says that
under no circumstances will the Unit
ed States increase its territory at the
expense Of Columbia OF any other
South American republic. II has been
decided by the Republican steering
committee to reject both Of these
amendments and it is understood that
the Democrats win permit the aps
proval Of the treaty even though their
amendments fail.
A material consession has been
made to the Democrats and the Re-
publican enemies Of the Cuban treaty
by the determination to accept an
amendment, already reported by the
committee on Foseign Relations,
which provides that the provision Of
the treaty shall not go into effect nm
til they are approved by both houses
of congress. This,of course, prevents
actual reciprocity with Cuba until
after congres meets next winter.
The amendment to the Cuban
treaty above referred to was the oC-
casion OF much disappointment to the
president and he is seriously contem-
lating calling an extra session Of cor-
gress to meet some time in the fall to
pass such legislation as will be neces.
sary TO put the treaty into effect.
The five women Immigrant inspec.
tors, who were appointed at the be.
hest of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, have not thus far
proved a success, and the civil service
commission has been instructed not To
examine any more candidates for tho
positions. 1t was maintained that BY
having incoming vessels inspected BY
moral young women the importation
of girls for immoral purposes could
be stopped, that class usually coming
| first pr second Glass instead Of in the
Esteerage which would have subjected
them to the usual inspection 10 which
Immigrants are subjected. With some
difficulty the civil service commission
secured the services of five young
women whose qualifications extended
from an ability to scale the high sides
OF the ocean liners to speaking several
foreign languages After thirty days
service it has been ascertained that
the young women coming to this
country resent being singled out by
the women inspectors, regarding the
latter's examination as indicating
that they are suspicious characters,
etc. The experiment will be contin-
ued for ninety days but with little
prospect of success.
