MISSISSIPPI SLANDERED.

The Rev. Edward D. Weed of Scran-
ton, Miss, in a letter to the New
York Herald, expresses the opinion
that the man who sent it the dis
patch that there were $50 murders
in that state between Jan. l, and Aug
81, of this year, prefers falsehood to
truth. The Rev. Mr.. Weed manifests
a good deal of Indignation in his let
ter. He is willing to have the truth
told about his state. but he thinks her
burdens are heavy enough without
charging her with crimes of which
she isn't guilty.
There are no doubt a good many
crimes of violence in Mississippi-more
than there would be if the courts were
to punish, to the full extent of the
law, those who are guilty of them,
but even with the lax administration
of the law it is doubtful if the num-
her of homicids is nearly as great as
the Herald's correspondent says it is.
All over the South there are thought
less men acting as correspondents of
New York, Chicago or st, Louis
papers. Their main idea is to get
something sensational. Many of them
don't care, apparently, whether the
stories they send the papers they rep
resent are true or not. A report, for
which there is little or no authority,
is sufficient basis, in their opinions,
for their dispatches. These CORE
spondents have done, and are doing,
the South great deal of harm by
their sensational newspaper state
ments
The editorial writers of newspapers
comment on these stories as if there
wasn't any doubt of their truth. and
thus the impression gets abroad that
there is more actual lawlessness in the
South than in the North or West.
1t is difficult to see how this evil
can be remedied. Perhaps If the cor
respondents were to be brought into
court for slandering the people of a
state and given punishment in
keeping with their offenses they would
be more careful to send only the truth
to their respective papers. ,..

Kelley LACKED THE PRICE.
From the Chicago Tribune.

New York.-"Taps" was held fifteen
minutes tonight because Herbert KEEL
cey, the actor, let a barber shave him,
then found he had only a. nickel in his
pockets. The barber would not let
him go, so the audience in the Lyric
Theater had to wait. Kelley had
dined and been shaved. The boy with
the brush was exceedingly attentive,
so the actor decided to give him tip.
He felt in his pocket and found the
lone nickel.
I'm Herbert Kelley, the actor; I'll
send you the money" he said. And I'll
send you couple of seats, too, for your
courtesy"
None of that for me-" said the pro-
prietor 81 know these bum actors
that promise to give you seats. They've
been in here before. Besides, I've seen
Kelley. You don't look anything like
him, anyway. You'll have to show
your money or stay here till somebody
brings 1t.
The messenger boy who was dispatch
ed with a note raised the siege at the
barber shop.

THE LITTLEsT GENERAL IN THE
WORLD.

From the St. Louis Dispatch.
Gen. Esteban Huestas, commander
in-chief of the army of Panama, is
believed to be the youngest and SMALL
est general in the world, as his coun-
try is the youngest If not the smallest
of republics. He is about twenty
nine years old and has been a SOL
dier since he was eight or nine. His
features are OF the swarthy Indian
type, and he is proud of the fact that
he has risen from the lowest ranks. In
one of the revolutions few years ago,
when he was fighting on the side OF
the government, his right arm was
hit by a shell. 1t Is said that when
he found his arm was nearly severed
he hacked off the rest with his own
knife, had the short stub bound and
resumed his work in the field. Now,
for his services to Panama during
the critical period of it's birth, he has
been granted $4,000 to pay the expense
of a trip to study the military organ
izations of the leading nations.

There is noted In Democratic ranks
very considerate spirit with respect
to Secretary John Hay. He says he
would prefer to spend his declining
years in private life and that scholarly
quiet which is so pleasing to him, but
he is willing to forego his own desires
and remain in the State Department
four years more in the event of the
election of Col. Roosevelt. The Demo-
Gratis are perfectly willing to have Mr..
Hay retire to the classic shades he so
longs for, and are going to do all they
can to help him along to them.

A bill is to be introduced in the
Canadian Parliament at it's next ses-
sion providing that no work shall be
done on Sunday and fixing a penalty
FOR violations OF the law. A lively
fight on the proposition is looked for,
since the Jewish Canadians regard it
as an attack on them. They observe
Saturday as their Sabbath, but respect
the Christian Sunday by closing their
places OF business on that day. Not
regarding Sunday as a holy day, they
feel that law passed for the pur-
pose of forcing them to adopt a GER
tain line of conduct on that day, the
law meanwhile disregarding their Sab
bath, would be unfair and unjust. II
is regrettable that the various religious
organizations cannot get together on
this question of a day to be observed
as the Sabbath.

are politely shown out of the sacred

made absolute throughout the Chris

would be caused by it! 1t is said that
marriages are made in heaven, and 1t
may be true. But it remains a fact
that the preliminaries to a great many
of them are arranged in church, dur

glances, soft pressures of the hands
and winning smiles cut out of the
church privileges, there are many
young people who would find the serv-
ices Tess attractive.

CONTRACTOR J. w. BEss.
Twice Doomed For the Murder of Mrs.

Lexington, KY, March 16.-The jury
In the case Of J. w. Bess, the local
contractor charged with the murder of
Mrs. Martha Martin in this city a year
ago, Tuesday afternoon rendered a YER
dict Of guilty and assessed his punish
ment at death. This was the second
trial, the death penalty having been
imposed in the first trial.
In presenting its side of the case the
commonwealth introduced a letter
from the defendant to Mrs. Mary Por-
ter, Of this city, threatening her son
with a criminal prosecution unless he
would testify that he saw Mrs. Martin,
the murdered woman, at the house Of
Negro woman with a stranger the
night before the murder. The other
surprise came when the defense an
nounced that 1t would offer no testi-
mony, and refused to place the defend
ant on the stand. After the verdict
had been read and Bess taken back
to jail he roundly denounced his attor-
neys and alleged that they bungled
the case by not permitting him 10 tes-
tify.
