cense-Liable to Arrest.

Norfolk Va. November 1S.-For'
mer President Grover Cleveland. who
is now cunning on the preserves of
Back Bay Cunning Cub, in Princess
Anne county, has so far had such
poor luck that not enough game has
been bagged to send Mrs. Cleveland
her usual box preceding the EXPIRES
idents home coming. The probablf
tiles are that the Cleveland party,
composed of the former President,
DIR. Paul Van Dyke, of the faculty
of Princeton University; Messrs.
Ernest Cuttings and Andrew u.
Jones, of Baltimore and Mrs. Jos.
Seelinger, of Norfolk, will spend two
more days cunning at Back Bay ano
return on Saturday.
1t developed in Norfolk this after
noon that Mr.. Cleveland and each
nonresident member of his party
have laid themselves liable to arrest
land a considerable fine, for violating
/ the new game law of Virginia, Whlch
lrequires every nonresident TO ge'

CATHOLICS KEPT OUT.
A Priest FOrbids Children OF HIS

Tarrytown, y. Y, November ~
Rev. T. ]. Early, rector of the Cath'
olic church of Irvington, has forbid
dent the children, of CathoHc
parents in his parish TO attend
the sewing school, which for years
has been maintained by Miss Helen
NJ. Gould. About 800 children at
tend the school. Father Earlys
first objection was made when some
of the Catholic children attended
luncheon given by Miss Gould on
Friday. At this luncheon meat was
served and the Catholic children par
took of it, unmindful of the day.
AS soon as Father Early learned or
this, he put the school under a ban.
Since then there has been some cor
respondence between the priest and
! Miss Gould. Another thing the priest
objected to was that a hymn was
sung at the opening Of the affair. In
her reply to the complaint, Mis-
Gould told him it had been her wish
| to have the daily sessions of the class

ARERDEEN. MISSISSIPPI

From the report of Auditor Cole
the astonishing fact is CLEANED
that the people of the state OF
Mississippi pay more money to
insure their property suspectibl
Of destruction by fire than is col
lected by the state for taxes The
bulk OF this vast sum which APP
proximatcs n million and half
dollars annually. the figures are
not convenient 10 refer to, is sent
out of the state 10 the cast to the
old line fire insurance companies.
The rate has become so high that
our business men feel that they
can NO longer pay the premiums
and a concerted effort will be made
to secure Legislation looking TO a
better rate. As ii is the insurance
companies have TO us and we are
paying dearly for the protection
they are giving TO the property of
the state liable to FIRE. If any
means can be devised We should
have relief.-Tupelo Journal

The Pittsburg (Pa.) Leader tells
Of the shrcwd manner in which an
unnamed corporation of New York
city, which needed surplus" of
$50, ,O0O, GOO and desired To create
it without expense To It's own
stock holders It's officers first
went to certain banks aud demand
ed TO know what interest they
would pay ON S20,0OO,0OO if that
sum were deposited with them
with a guarantee that it would not
be withdrawn for twelve months.
The banks agreed to pay ) per
cent for the money on these con-
ditions. The officers of the cor.
poration then went TO ceratin
other bank and asked upon what
terms they could borrow $1,000
600 for year. the loan to be COW
cred by absolute security. The
money was ioande at 3 per cent.
Thus without expense to itself the
corporation (which was storng
one financially and only wanted
the S20,0O0.O00 to figure as stage
setting for the dramatic effect it
might have) effected its little bit
of financial legerdemain and
bolstered its credit up to even a
higher point than it had hitherto
attained. New Orleans Times
