TWO WALL STREET FAILURES.
The Long-COntinued Decline In
Prices of Stocks Is Beginning
to Bear Fruit.

New York, July 25.-The long con-
tinued decline in prices for securities
on the stock exchange resulted, Fri
day afternoon, in the announcement
of the failure of two important stock
exchange brokerage firms. The first
announcement was of the suspension
of w. L. Stow & Co., followed in a
few moments by the news, sensation
al to the entire financial world, that
Talbot J. Taylor G. Co., the senior
member of which is a son-in-law of
James r. Keene, had failed. The
firm of Stow & Co.. as heavily inter-
ested in Mexican Central and was a
member of the pool in that stock.
The announcement of the failure
caused an immediate decline of 7A in
the price of that stock.
Talbot j. Taylor & Co., it has been
supposed, were long of Southern Pa
cific ever since the Inauguration of a
bull movement by means of a pool in
that stock more than a year ago by
James r. Keene. Southern Pacific sold
to-day at a decline price about fifty
points below the high record figure
to which it was put presumably

Corinth Firm Suffers.

Charles Eastman seems to be ex-
tending his operations northward, a
firm of Corinth furniture dealers be-
ing his latest victims. Eastman
bought $3.50 worth of furniture,
paying in a check drawn by A. B.
Waring for one hundred and sixty
four dollars or the Mississippi Bank
and Trust Company, of Jackson.
The balance of the check, amounting
to fourteen dollars, was paid him in
money by the dealer, who soon after
suspected something wrong, tele-
graphed the bank and found they
did not know any one by that name.
The party was a German, and
claimed to be a railroad man and
had rented a house. He made good
his escape. He is abount five feet

pounds, dressed like a laborer, pretty

E. A. Smith, chaplain and regis

was appointed at the recent reunion
in New Orleans to make a complete
roster of the members of the brigade
now living, reports that rather slow
progress is being made with the
work, and he again urges all living
members to send their names to him

Mr.. Smith states that he has en-

Marvellous Showing.

The statement just issued of the
new postoffice substation established
in Jackson makes a most marvellous
showing and speaks volumes for the
extraordinary increase of business in
that town. The total number Of
money orders issued by the station
for the year is 5000, against only
7,410 for the main Office up town.
The total of the two offices is 13,472
for the year, against 5000 for the
previous year, or a gain of over five
thousand in the twelve months. The
new substation has exceeded the bus
mess of any station south of the
Ohio river. Its business is over a
thousand ahead of any station in
New Orleans.

BEAUTY's v NURSES.
A List Of Don'ts which Women who
Wish to Remain Attractive
Should obey.

Don't forget that the nurses of a
woman's beauty are seven-fresh air,
sunshine, warmth, rest, sleep, food and
whatever stirs the blood, be it exer-
else or enthusiasm.
Don't neglect sleep. You can sleep
yourself into good looks. A long nap
and a hot bath will make any woman
more attractive, and lift years from
her shoulders.
Don't eat when tired and don't work
when tired. 1t is a mistake to work
when not in fit condition-bad for the
work and worse for you.
Don't miss your beauty Sleep" It
is a mistake to go to bed late at night,
rise at daybreak, and imagine that
every hour taken from sleep is an
hour gained.
Don't give unnecessary time to a
certain established routine of house.
work, when it could be much more
probably spent in rest and recreation.
Don't sit down to table as SOC as
you come in from work, or a round of
social duties. Lie down, or sit down
for ten minutes, waiting until you can
partake of your dinner with the physi-
cal machinery rested and refreshed.
Don't battle in hard water. Soften it
with a little powdered borax, or a
handful of oatmeal.
Don't battle the face while it is very
warm or very cold.
Don't wash the face when travelling.
unless it is with a little alcohol and
water, or a little cold cream.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water. Give the face a hot bath
with soap, and then rinse thoroughly
with clear tepid or cold water.
Don't rub the face with too coarse a
towel. Treat 1t as you would the finest
porcelain, tenderly and d~elicately.
Don't be afraid of sunshine and
fresh air. They offer you bloom and
color.
Don't forget that hearty laughter is
a source of relaxation. So are all high
thoughts. as those of hope, beauty,
trust and love.
Don't forget that beauty is power.
There is nothing more potent. 1t is
to a woman what capital is to a mer-
chant. Its absence is a misfortune; it's
culture wise and proper.-Washington

VISIT MAYNoOTH COLLEGE.
FOR the First Time In History English Sow
ereigns Visit the Famous Irish
Seat OF Learning.

Dublin, July 25.-The king and
queen, Friday afternoon, visited May
nooth college, attended by Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland Wyndham and his
suite. They were received on their
arrival by the archbishops of Dublin,
Cashel and Tuam, 20 bishops and 9TH
err ecclesiastics. In replying to the
address of welcome which was pre-
sented the king expressed his hearty
thanks, and said:
II value highly your true appre-
citation of my feeling toward my Irish
people, who have contributed so much
to the strength and honor of my en-
pire, and who bring such admirable
gifts of mind and heart to the enrich
ment of the national life. 1t was with
saddened feelings that I listened to
your reference to the venerable pom
tiff who has just passed away, leav-
ing a memory that will long be cher
ished far beyond the bounds Of the
church of which he was the exalted
head. l shall ever retain a pathetic
recollection of my interview with him,
and the kindly interest he showed in
the welfare of my people and my en-
pre-"
1t was noticed that the king wore
a black necktie an dthe queen and
Princess Victoria half mourning. The
royal party remained nearly an hour
at Maynooth and then returned to
the vice-regal lodge.
Archbishop Walsh was invited to
the royal dinner party there, but was
unable to attend.
The evening party given by their
majesties at the ~vice-regal lodge prac-
tically closed the visit to Dublin,
which has been most successful and
devoid of a single untoward incident.
Everywhere the greatest loyalty,
devotion and enthusiasm was shown.
The visit to Maynooth was unprece-
dented, for although the king visited
it when prince of Wales, no English
sovereign eve before entered its
walls. The kings kindly reference 20
the pope was much appreciated.
Their ~majesties go to Mount Stew
art. where they will be the guests Of
Londonderry until Monday. Thence
they go to Belfast, where the most
elaborate preparations have been
made.

Increased Dividends.

State Auditor Cole has prepared
some additional comparative figures
to the bank statement published last
week which are quite interesting.
July 5, 1902, the number of State
banks in Mississippi was ninety
three, as compared with 104 june
80 of this year, al increase of eleven
for the year.
The average dividend declared
last year was 1920 per cent, against
14.17 per cent. this year, an increase
of nearly 2 per cent. This showing
is regarded as nothing short Of re-
markable. The number of deposit
ors last year was 52,736, as COM
pared with $500 this year, an
increase of 1874.

Mississippi State News
Mississippi Weather.

From the agricultural bureau for
the department of Mississippi the
following summary of crop and
weather conditions for the week end
ed July 81 has been issued:
The mean daily temperature
ranged from 2 to 6 degrees below
normal the first part of the week and
slightly above normal the latter part.
Practically no rain fell in the north
ern and middle parts of the State
and only light showers in the south
ern part.
The warm, dry weather has been
very favorable for the cultivation
and cleaning of all crops, but where
the rainfall was light last week the
need of more moisture is very much
felt. Cotton, although still almost
three weeks late, is growing fast and
looks healthy. The plant is now
taking on squares and blooms rapid
ly, except in some sections where the
stalk is growing so fast that it inter-
feres somewhat with blooming. In
the southern part much cotton has
been laid by; in the northern part
considerable is being cultivated for
the last time. Old corn is practi-
cally made in all parts of the State
and is the best in wears. Young
corn is promising, but begins to need
rain. Sugar cane and potatoes are
doing well. Gardens need rain in
some sections, but are good where
there is sufficient moisture. Con
siderable hay has been saved in good
shape. Pastures are improving in
the southern part. Apples and
peaches are scarce in the northern
part, and in places there is COM
plant of rotting.

Shrewd counterfeiter.

During the past several days a
number of Meridian citizens have
been victimized by a shrewd coun-
terfeiter, whose speciality is chang
ing scent pieces into SIS gold coins
with a superior quality of gold var
nish. The nickels used are of that
class coined by the government with
out the word scents" thereon. The
police are actively engaged on the
case and have secured a clew that
will probably lead to the capture of
the co~unterfeiter.
