SAVED By A SONG,

The power of a song IS something

Illustrated by a story, and a true one
told not long ago.
Two Americans who we're crossing
the Atlantic met in the cabin on Sun
day night to sing hymns. AS they
sang the last hymn, Jesus, Lover OF
My Soul" one of them heard an eX-
ceedingly rich and beautiful voice be
hind him. He locker around, and al
though he did not know the face he
thought he knew the voice. So when
the music ceased he turned and ask
ed the man if he had been in the
Civil war. The man replied that he
had been Confederate soldier.
''Were you at such place on such
a night?' asked the first.
Yes he replied, and a curious
thing happened that night which this
hymn has recalled to my wind.

BIG BATTLEsHIP'S INJURIES
The Massachusetts, Placed in Dry
Dock at Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Some Ugly Rents Made In Con-
tact with Egg Rock.

New York, Aug 28.-The battleship
Massachusetts has gone into dry dock
at the Brooklyn navy yard For the
first time the injuries her hull sus-
tanned by striking Egg Rock, near Bar
Harbor, Me-, on August Il, were ex-
posed
From hole in the starboard gar
board strake water came as from a
geyser. This puncture is back from
the bow, about one-sixth of the ships
length. 1t extends 81 feet across the
plate, and it's greatest width is four
inches. Almost directly opposite this
rent, on the port side of the keel, are
two punctures. One is Is inches long,
running athwartships, and half an inch
in its greatest width. The other, close
to the first, extends four feet across
the plate and IA inches along the seam,
the widest part of the opening being
half an inch. Back of these points
minor injuries dot the underbody of the
ship on both sides all the way to the
stern
At the stern end of the keel a new
injury, not before reported, was found.
1t is on the port side, where the
heavy metal plating of the keelson has
been ripped and twisted for a distance
of ten feet

A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION.

Will Probe Alleged Indian Ter

Washington, Aug. 28.-Secretary
Hitchcock of the interior department
has announced his intention of having
thorough and impartial investiga-

Indian territory. This announcement
was made in response to request
from the Dawes commission, which re-
lates that "the result of years of un-
remitting toll is threatened by fanat-
ical reports and questionable journal
ism. We urge that there be assigned
to the work of investigation one whose
reputation for honesty, ability and
fearlessness is we'll established and
whose findings will be universally ac-
cepted."

THEY HAD A CLOSE CALL.
Wreck of the Rear Car of Barnum
& BniIey's Sleeper Train Mt
Wildwood, Pa.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 28.-The third
section of the Barnum & Bailey circus
train, composed almost entirely of
sleeping cars for the performers, was
wrecked at Wildwood, Pa, on the
Pittsburg & Western railroad, early
Thursday morning, and a serious &C
cident was narrowly averted. AS this
section of the train was passing on the
northbound track, a freight train on
the south-bound track got beyond con-
troll of the crew and came dashing
down the grade. Just as the last of the
sleepers was almost clear, the runaway
train jumped the track, and one car
crashed into the rear sleeper, damag
ing the car badly, and rudely awaken
ing the 40 people on board. None were
injured.

For Good Roads.

The subject of good roads, which
is now being vigorously agitated in
East Mississippi, occupied a promi-
nent place last week in the deliber-
ations of the Farmers Institute at
Macon. Responding to that num-
Der of the program an able paper
was read by J. W. Jackson. compre-
hending the situation in Noxubee
county. Noxubee is composed very
largely of prairie, the most difficult
of all soils upon which to maintain
highways, and Mr.. Jackson advo-
Gated the issuance of 100000 or
100000 of fifty-year bonds by the
county, to be expended in macad-
amizing the three main highways
through the county to railroad con-
nections. In Monroe county in re-
cent years the board of supervisors
have in much the manner suggested
by Mr.. Jackson reclaimed several
main roads. The Black Swamp
road, prairie highway, was graded
up several feet for long stretch ;
two main roads crossing the Tom
bigbee bottom were also elevated
and covered three inches deep with
gravel, while another three-mile Sec
ton of road across Bull Mountain
bottom leading into Itawamba coun-
ty has just been graded up four or
five feet and thickly surfaced with
gravel.
Lee county is also expanding con-
siderable sums on its roads with the
same character of work, receiving
last year in one contract 100 car
loads of gravel from Tishomingo
county over the Mobile & Ohio Rail
road. This manner of road-build-
ing has proved the best yet expert
mented with for prairie and river
bottom highways.

What is this form on the sandy beach,
Busy with work sublime?
Giving a hail in human speech,
Bidding them come and dine.
With SCARED hands He gathers the wood,
Roasting the fish in the sun.
preparing for hungry men their food,
When tolls of the sea are done.
What are these marks on His manly feet ?
On His brow? where the crown should be.
generous hail to the fishermen's fleet,
And a meal by the side of the sea.
Wholesome fears on their souls were cast,
Reverent worship given.
A double meal. sweet repast,

Bread for the body, bread for the soul.
BY resurrection power.
A bond complete to make them whole.
Crown of their lasting dover.
