Circnit Court

But little business has been trans
acted in the court room up to a late
hour this morning. the selection OF
the two petit juriss and the trial CT q
few minor eaess being all that has
been done. The case Of J. l.. Burt
was to have been called today, but a
postponement was asked on the plea Of
illness of the defendant. A commit
tee of physicians was appointed to ex-
anime him, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether or not he was too ill
to permit Of trial, and on their de-
cision will rest the postponemsnt.

A NEW PASSENGER TRAIN.
The Queen s. Crescent Route will,

The Queen & Crescent Route will,
on Sunday September ID, put on an
additional Passenger Train, to leave
Vicksburg at 8:l5 a. M, and arrive at
Meridian at :l5 p. m. Returning this
train will leave Meridian at3:15 D. m,
and arrive at Vicksburg at S:l5 p. m.
stopping at all stations.
This is service which has been de-
sired by the public for several months
and will, doubtless, accommodate a
great number Of people. This gives
three trains daily in each direction,
and is Just three times the number of
trains run four years ago.
The new trains. besides serving the
needs of travellers between local sta
tions, will connect at Meridian with
the North and South Bound trains Of
the Alabama Great Southern to and
from birmingham, Chattanooga, Gin
cinnatl, etc., the Mobile q Ohio, both
North and South Bound, and the
New Orleans & North Eastern to and
from Laurel. Hattiesburg and New
Orleans.
Perons desiring to do business in
Meridian can go TO that place. arriv-
ing at Ills p. m. have two hours IN
which to attend TO their affairs, and
return at 3:15 p. m.
1t will also enable persons i'm VIcks-
burg to go to the state capital and
have all day to do business and re-
turn to their homes i'm the evening.
The rapid growth of business in
Mississippi has made this splendid
service possible, and the manage
ment Of the Queen & Crescent Route
always anxious to give the public the
very best possible service, has been
preparing for several months for this
addition to the service.
New cars and engines had to be
built-these were ordered nearly a
year ago In anticipation. and have
not yet all been received, but suffi-
Gent to enable start to be made.
Yet the additional cars and engines
will be forthcoming, in a few weeks.

Personnel of Roosevelt.

The following personnel of Presi
dent Roosevelt will not prove uninter-
esting since it points to a career
most remarkable for rapid advance
ment:
President Roosevelt celebrated his
forty fifth birthday, Tuesday, Octo-
Der 81. The president was born in
New York City, where he has spent
almost all the years of his life. 1t
is interesting to note the progress of
his public career, which began twen-
ty-two years ago. In 1881 he was
elected member Of the New York
state assembly. in which he served
three years. In 1886 he was republic
can candidate for mayor of New York,
but was defeated. In 1889, President
Harrison appointed him member of
the United States Civil Service Com
mission. 1895 he was appointed presi-
dent of the New York Board of Po-
lice Commissioners; in 1897 President
Mckinley made him assistant secre-
tary of the navy. In 1898, having re-
signed from the navy, he, with Colo
mel Wood, organized the "Rough
Riders" which he led in the charge
ur San Juan hill, July 1. He was
then advanced from lieutenant colonel
to colonel. In November Of the same
year, he was elected governor of New
York, and in 1900 was elected vice
president of the United States. Sep
TENDER IA, 1901, he took the oath of
Office as president of the United States
to succeed Mr.. Mckinley. Whether
future records will say that in 1904
he was elected president Of the United
States, remains to be SEEM

Not Enough Faith For Funeral.

The Rev. Sanford Olmsted, the new
Episcopal bishop Of Colorado, is noted
for the skill with which he can collect
money for charity. St Asaph's church,
ut Bala. Pa. was Bishop Olmsted's $
last charge. ard this church under his
pastorate actually had more money
than it could spend.
Here is an instance of Bishop Ohm
sted's address as a collector:
He called on Il man one day who
was well to do. but somewhat close.
He asked for money for worthy char
ity. and the man said:
I'D give something gladly, but the
fact is I've only $500 by me in cash
$500 that I've put aside for my fu-
neral"
You trust God with your soul" said
Bishop Olmsted, but you're afraid to
trust him with your funeral, ehF
This comment gained the bishop a
generous contribution. - New York

The Dumdum bullet.

Military officials who advocate the
dumdum bullet are now contending
that it is really a humane projectile,
inasmuch as it knocks a man out once
for all instead of boring a hole through
him so minute that it does not inter-
fere with his continuing the fight or
returning to it after a brief absence
at the field hospital. 1t is argued that
the modern small caliber bullet is the
one that is really inhumane, as it tends
to prolong war. "This is an argu-
ment." says an authority, that might
appeal to the taxpayer, but will hardly
be accepted as convincing by those
whose duty compels them to stand in
front of flying projectiles. Every pur-
pose is answered so far as the result
of a battle is concerned, by a wound
that disab,cs a man for the time be-

INITIALS LOSING FAVOR.
Che Growing Custom of Writing out
the Name In Full.

the Growing Custom of Writing Out
the Name In Full.
Something over twelve years ago a
Georgia business man who now and
then mounts the lecture platform de
elared in a public address that the
two most ridiculals things connected
with civilized customs were the two
buttons on the back of mems coats and
the initials in front of mems names.
who knows" he inquired, what
the w. stands for in Henry w.
GradyY"
Since that time slowly but surely
the middle initial has been replaced by
the full name. The first initial had
fallen into disuse some years before.
II. w. Longfellow" had become Hen
~ w. Longfellow." This in turn, after
the poets death. was succeeded by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow." In
like manner it was not until the bril-
liant Georgian had passed away that
the world knew him otherwise than as
Henry W. Grady" The query of the
lecturer above referred to would now
be pointless. as the name of Henry
Woodfin Grady is today familiar to
every intelligent person in the United
States
The use of initials instead of the full
name seems to have had its origin in
desire for brevity, as the necessity
for much writing grew without any
! appliance for shortening its labor. The
custom was at its height about cen
tury ago. &c. Washington 3. Frank
lin"-these are the signatures that we
find on old papers. The use of initials
was almost universal up to the latter
part of the last century. Thomas
Darlington Macaulay called himself It
B. Macaulay." General Grant was
known as ~. S Grant" The wal
president signed his name "A. Lin
coin"
Whether the invention of the type
writer was responsible for the abGn
donmcnt Of these senseless abbrevia
tions or whether the change was thJ
| result of the new craze for ancestors
and family names we cannot say, bu
about ten years ago the custom ol
writing ones name in full, which haC
up to that time been restricted to the
English nobility and a few literary
| and public men, became n kind of so
cial fad and spread rapidly among al
| classes. 1t is now the cOmmOnest thinl
in the world to find a successful groce
who has always been known rs "P. 2
jerks" renting a better house and her
| aiding the movements of himself anC
wife as those of "Mr. and Mrs. Pau
Pangbourne jerks"
Unlike most fads, the writing Of one
name in full is a sensible and prope
one. There is no use in giving a ma
name if he is to bury it in pair o
initials. Full names are also much les
liable to become confused. The pass
ing of initials, while not yet complet
by any means, is making rapid prog
ress. and we are glad to see it.-Atla1
