That Lincoln Portrait.
Editor Clarion Ledger:

Editor Clarl0n-Lodger:
In your issue Of the 9th inst,
you refer to the discussion in
which the state press is engaged
touching the request Of Mr.. Dun
bar Rowland to Hon. Robert T.
Lincoln, for a portrait of his father,
President Abraham Lincoln, to be
placed In the "Hall of Fame" in
Mississippi's new capitol. In the
body Of his request, Mr.. Rowland,
archivist and historian, says:
awe of the south now realize
the greatness and goodness and
grandness Of President Abraham
Lincoln, your honored father, and
would honor his memory. Our
own Lee has been given a place in
the temple of fame, located on
the o;her side e the Mason and
Dixon's line, and his name stands
with that of Lincoln. Your father
belongs to the worlds immortals
and nothing we could do would
add to his fame. We can how
ever, show our respect and love
for him."
While this extravagant and
gushing request may convey. the
feelings and sentiments of Mr..
Rowland, [ venture the opinion
that it is not shared by the great
body of the people of Mississippi.
ROBERT LOWRY.
To all of which We say Amen
with a big A. The above coming
from Gen. Lowry reflects the
sentiments of every confederate
veteran worthy the name in the
State. Gen. Lowry is now the
Major General commanding the
Mississippi division. We are glao
that he has spoken out on this
subject.

The bubonlc plague, the most
dreaded plague known to the
human race, has jumped the
Pacific ocean and is now raging
at Magattan, a city in Mexico.
The inhabitants r fleeing berore
its ravages in great numbers and
the depopulation Of the city
threatened. Hundreds are being
attacked by the disease and in
nearly all cases it is fatal. The
Surgeon general of the navy at
Washington is very fearful of its
invasion of the United States and
is instituting measures TO infede
it's progress in this direction. The
disease r-vels in filth and is terri
bic in its ravages in the slnms of
cities. If ii should reach our
country. it would find in all of
our great cities abundant food,
especially in those cities where
the negroes abound. This vista
ton of this terrible scourage' is
one of the fruits of our new fangl
ed policies of commercial expan
sion through conquests in the

The complicated female organism is
so delicately adjusted as to be easily
thrown out of balance. AS a result,
health and strength are affected by
divers diseases. Motherhood, family,
society all levy such drains upon her
strength that most women break under
the nervous tension. The demands
upon her nervous strength are much
greater than similar demands of the
opposite sex. Hence she must be sup

reason women feel tired and worn out

that Hilario Placido, Filipino who aided

the time he was engaged as an active par

In speaking Of Placido. General Funston
said: HE was never my spy and the only
money he ever received from the United
states was for the part ne took In the cap

spaniards and then took up arms against
the United States. In 1899 he was severely
