Growth Of Baptists.


DR.. A. V. Rowe of Winona, secre-
tary of the Baptist State mission
board for Mississippi, says:
"Ihe Baptist Church in Missis-
sippi has made the best showing in
its history during the past year."
The statistics to be submitted at the
convention will show that these have
been 7,047 baptisms into the church
during the year, which is about
1000 more than the number shown
last year. =
"In foreign missions the showing
is phenomenal, the increase being II
per cent. over that of last year, with
contributions amounting to about
$4,000.
"In home missions a remarkable
showing was made, the sum contrib
uted being $55,600, which is 50 per
cent. in excess Of the amount raised
last year. For State missions we
raised $4,000. Altogether, the
Baptists in Mississippi have good
reason to feel proud of what they
have accomplished during the year,
and at the session of the convention
we will lay our plans for work on a
larger scale next year."

Two New Portraits.

Two costly additions to the States
collection of historical portraits have
been received by the department Of
archives and history, the gifts of the
Hon. Hugh G. Cage of New Or
leans and Mrs. William r. Miles of
Yazoo City.
Mr.. Cage presents the portrait of
his father, Judge Harry Cage, and
Mrs. Miles the portrait Of her hus-
band, Gen. w. r. Miles.
Judge Harry Cage was a member
of the Supreme Court of Mississippi

tive OF Tennessee, and was one of
the most successful lawyers of the
State in its early days. Judge Cage
retired from the bench in 1882 and
was elected to congress. He re-
signed his seat in 1884 and lived on
his plantation in Louisiana. He
died in New Orleans in 1853.
Gen. William R. Miles was born
In kentucky IN 1917. After being
admitted to the bar he removed in
1889 to Yazoo City and formed a
partnership with Judge E. c. Will
kinson. He was a very successful
lawyer when the war began. With
the outbreak of the war impending
he organized Miles Legion at his
own expense. He was made brig
adier-general in 1864. In 1865 Gen.
Miles was appointed one of the Con-
federate commissioners to arrange
the final parole of the surrendered
armies. He died at his plantation,
Good Hope, near Yazoo City, in
January, 1900.

THOMAs HULL of Salt Lake count

THOMAS HULL of Salt Lake county

the speakership fight last night.
The Republican house caucus nomi-
mated him on the first ballot. Senator
Edward Nj. Allison or Weber county
was chosen to preside over the DELHI
erations of the state senate. and his
selection, made by the Republican sen
ate caucus a few minutes in advance
Of the action on the speakership, ended
the last chance DR.. a. S. Condor had
for the latter honor. Both DR.. Con-
don. who was Representative HuITs
chief opponent, and Senator Allison,
hail from Weber county, and it was
conceded that both could not obtain
rich plums.
Harmony of the smoothest kind pre-
vailed among the twelve smiling SEN
ators who comprised the upper house
caucus, while diSsensiOn and contest
marked the deliberations of the larger
lower house contingent across the hall
in the city and county building. It
took the senators only half an hour to
frame d slate for fifteen salaried jobs
after they had the names of all the
applicants before them, but the con-
tests among the representatives for the

dead robber in coming around the

shot by one of the others. After the

wounded man on board. One of the
party said to him: 'Can you talk yet? ~
He replied: Yes" whereupon one Of
the party shot him through the head

After a Warm Fight He Lands
Speakership of House.

After a Warm Fight He Lands
speakership of House.
Thomas Hull of Salt Lake county
was chosen speaker of the house of
representatives on the first ballot at a
caucus of Republicans held at the city
and county building last evening. The
vote was as follows:
Thomas Hull of salt Lake county. %
w H. Barrett of Beaver county. 10
DR.. A. J. Condor of Weber county. 9
D. r. Anderson of Cache county was
not present.
There was show of bitterness after
the vote was announced. While the
balloting WAS in progress the door was
opened and a couple of Hull workers
stuck their heads through, shouting:
Hurrah for AIIisOnI Elected presi-
dent of the senatei7
After the result had been announced
Willard Done of Salt Lake county
moved that the senate caucus be in
formed of the action taken. Then arose
Dr. Condor, anger showing on his
brow.
Y protest against this motion" he
said. The door was opened surrep-
titiOusly short time ago to give d
chance for a elaque TO shout that Al
lison was elected. This was done with
a view to injuring the chances Of the
other Weber county candidate. It's a
Salt Lake trick
There was some little discussion on
this line, and Thomas Hull rose to ex-
plain. He said he had hoped that a
friendly feeling would prevail through
out, and he was sorry to see this show
Of bitterness.

Il have tried to wage this contest
in a friendly way, he said. I visited

did not reach DR.. Condor was that we
have both been so busy today. l wish
10 disclaim that had any knowledge
Of what was about 10 take place, and
I am very sorry that it occurred.
Mr. Hull then thanked the members
for the honor that they had conferred
upon him and expressed the hope that
the relations of all would be friendly
Dr.. Condor disclaimed any intention
in opening the door for that purpose,
and said he did not know whether Mr..
Done had or not.
Mr.. Done vehemently denied that he
had anything to do With Il and finally
he withdrew his motion.
