musical comedy field this season. ana
one which has been meeting with re-
markable success. are those funny fell
musical gayety "A Night ON Broad
way" which will be presented at the
Walla Walla theater, March IA.
It is a musical comedy of the up-to-
date fashion, and from all accounts. is
designed to be one of the crowning
laugh inciters of the year, 1t has a
variety of characters. some of which
are new to the comedy field. The fun
is said to be fast and furious; the
lines are bright, sparkling and bubbl-
ing over with genuine humor. and the
people who help to make the skit
success number some of the prettieSt,
dantiest and talented women on the
American stage. The style of enter
tuinment offered by Murray and Mack
has no rival III Irish comedy. 1t is
distinct and separate from anything
else in the musical comedy world.
There is no deep thinking plot-no
special reason for the things said and
done in A Night on Broadway" but

Partisan spring fashions for velvet
gowns are much palmer and simpler

severity of the style of former days.
Some of the velvet gowns brought
over from Paris are exquisitely charm

fashionable women of this country
will appreciate the wisdom and taste
Of their sisters on the other side of the

much Recommendation in the pre-

desirable to purify the atmosphere Of

There are welcome signs and indica-

ual training, said:
"The work given as manual
training in the first, second, third
and fourth grades in eastern school
catalogues is for the most part in
use here now. This includes work
with cardboard, paper cutting, clay
modelling and later wood and iron
work. Except for the wood and
iron work, which is not begun be-
fore the fourth grade, we have the
work well in hand and can add
such features as we do not now
have at little cost.
In time the manual training
work will extend through the entire
course but at first the foundation
must be laid and for the first year
we could hardly do more than In
troduce wood work in the fourth
grade and afterwards add to the
course year by year as the pupils
advance.
"Too many people consider
manual training as merely a train
ing that makes the boy handy about
the house and perhaps gives him a
start in learning a trade. This is
merely incidental. The object of
manual work in the schools is to
train the student to think in things,
to express himself, to carry out
conceived plans and to master his
nerves and muscles. !"

When. the land soldier ceased to
carry body armor that was, indeed,
a revolution in warfare. The sol
der had been metal-plated since
the beginning Of military history.
The "well-greaved Achaeans"
wore armor at the siege of Troy,
just as the English wore it at Crecy

have seemed that the arm0red sol
dier was part Of the order of ma
ture yet he disappeared because

Of attack. III the armored battle
ship should disappear for the same
reason it would leave behind it nc
such record Of achievement. 1t
would be remembered by anti
quarians as a brief and enormously
expensive experiment, a mere pass
ing episode in naval history, and
probably the average reader of tales
Of the sea would hardly realize
that it had ever existed.

RAILROADS FILL

MUCH IMPROVEMENT IS BEING WROUGHT AT PRATT CITY-THE MINERS RECEIVE THEIR SUP PLlEs-PERSONAL AND GEN'L.

Pratt City. October Especially 1.-The railroad companies operating in Pratt City are illing in the low places in the railroad yards in the southern part of Pratt City. Cinders and slag are being hauled in by the train loads and a large force of men are dumping it into the ponds of water that have accumulated in that section since the construction of the railroads
 The city is also assisting the railroads in improving the yards. The city street force has been put to work construct ing a storm sewer connecting with Vil- lage creek. This will be used to drain all the lowlends in southern Pratt City. This action of the railroads and the city will greatly improve that section of the town and vii greatly enhance the value of the property there
 The land covered by ponds and lagoons there, can row be used to great advan- tage as sites for industries and ware houses.

Meridian, Miss, October 13.-(Special.)-s At 6:S0 o'clock this morning the spe- cial train containing the general officers of the Mobile and Ohio railroad reached Meridian. and after resting and break fasting the party was taken in hand by a committee of citizens and members of the board of trade and escorted to the cot ton exchange where an informal reception was rendered the distinguished visitors.

 perintendent of transportation; John M Beall general passenger agent; A. J.
 Alexander, superintendent Mobile divi-
 sion; Henry Martin, trainmaster
 The reception rendered the visitors, while informal, was a notable one, as
 the leading business men of Meridian took occasion to express to Colonel Russell and his associates their appreciation of the recognition of their services by the ! recent promotions, and assured the gea- tlemen that the interests of the road and it's officials and of the citizens of Me- ridian were mutual; also expressing tho hope that such relations would continue Colonel Russells visit here today has
 emphasized the endorsement lately given
 that distinguished MississIppian by south
 ern newspapers for cabinet position in
 the event of Parker's election to the pres. | idency, and local sentiment here today was localized on this idea. Many of the | leading business men expressed them selves as highly approving the recom- mendation.
 Colonel Russell the executive head of the Mobile and Ohio road Is one of the leading democrats of the south and has
