Wedding Innovations

When a recent bride, instead of be-
ing pelted with rice and old shoes, re-
cefved perfect storm of rose leaves,
which showered the bridal coach and
pair with fragrant petals, the guests,
though aghast at such an overturning
Of traditions, were filled with admira-
ton for the pretty scene and heartily
Joined in the implied wishes for rosy
future, says a writer in the Designer.
By the way, a leaf in wedding lore has
been turned back, and once more the
brides bouquet is in the old fashioned
round form instead of the shower which
has prevailed Of late years. At least
this barking back to the older shape
has been exemplified at several of tf%
fashionable winter weddings

exodus Of people who seek warmer

late winter and early spring is well IN

fresh supply Of suitable garments, and
it is in the provisions made for these
by the modistes that spring fashions

Greenville, Miss, June 3.-As a re-
suit of fight, which occurred on the
Sims and Williams plantation at Trad
Lake, Miss, thirty miles east of here
last night, John Simms and his man
ager, named Cato, were killed by ne
groes and three of the negroes have
been killed also. The country is III
state of intense excitement, and 1t is
feared further trouble may ensue be-
tween the whites and blacks.
The fight started about 10 O'Clock
last night, when Sims and Cato were
shot down in their store by n negro
named Samuel Clark. Sims was en-
gagged in checking up his cash when
Clark came in. Before he could make
any kind of move Clark raised 4 Win
chester and fired, the shot taking Of
feet first in Sims back and then
breaking the collar bone. He died
instantly.
Clark Immediately turned on Cato,
the manager, who was in another part
of the store, and shot him in the
right side, the ball coming out on the
left side. Cato stepped into the back
of the store, and as he reached door
negro convict guard named Van
Horn, who was in waiting, struck him
over the head with a rie. Cato died
at seven o'clock this morning, ana
the physician gives it as his opinion
that the blow over the head caused
his death
News of the tragedy was immediate
ly sent to Greenville and Sheriff John
Crouch, with a posse went to the
scene.
The negroes, Van Horn and Clark,
had made their escape before the
posse arrived but the trail of Van
Horn was found and he was tracked
about a quarter of a mile into the
woods Here another negro convict
guard named Mayfield, interfered with
the posse and he was shot down III
his tracks
Van Horn was captured and taken
to Leland, fourteen miles distant,
where he was placed in the jail. He
remained in Jail all night under =
strong guard, and at $50 o'clock this
morning he WIS taken out and lynched
by mob.
While the sheriff and posse were
busy with Van Horn the other negro
Sam Clark, returned to Sims tsore
with the intention, 1T is said, or Killing
Buck Williams, the other partner; the
book keeper, named Crow, who was
also at work, and others crow, now
ever. after the previous shooting had
armed himself and q negro who work
ed about the place, named Aaron
Fuller. When Clark made his APP
pearance he was shot by both Crow
and Fuller and killed. 1t is believer
at Trail Lake that the shooting is the
outcome of q meeting held III the
vicinity of Trail Lake by negro Sc
cret society and that the negroes m
VOWED were picked out TO do the
killing.

FOR THE FILlPINos
American Government Official Says
They Are Capable and WILL
ing at All Times.

Gen. Greedy, chief signal officer of the
army, has reported to the secretary of
wa the complete success of an expert
ment, considered doubtful by many, of
utilizing the Filipinos employed as
eablemen in the archipelago by trans
ferring them to southeastern Alaska,
where extended cable operations were
carried on by the signal corps in the
summer and autumn of 1903, says the
Washington Star. The United States
transport Burnside, fitted up as a cable
ship, arrived at Sitka, Alaska, July 6,
1903, having about 60 Filipinos in its
crew, of which about 20 were engaged in
the technical labor of cable laying and
repairs. These men were engaged in
this work until October 81, their serv-
ices extending well into the autumn and
covering severe weather at sea and a
dangerous sea voyage, in which the
Burnside barely escaped total destruc.

Lieut.. Col. James Allen, in his report
upon cable operations, says:

the Filipino crew, both those connected
with the navigation of the ship and the
cable men. Owing to the small number
of mensthe Burnside had on board and
the arduous work required from them,
they were called upon to do extremely
hard work and during all hours of the
day. The work was, however, always
cheerfully performed by them, and in
no case during the entire trip was any
sort of punishment administered to
these men. They continually grew in
strength, and with the exception Of
slight colds from exposure they were
in excellent health throughout.
1.-THE point desired to be made
preeminent is that these men, taken
from the Philippine islands and sent d.
rectly into the cold of Alaska, were able
to perform all the duties required of
them in the most satisfactory manner.
They were skillful as members of the
ships crew, especially in the handling
Of cable and the management of boats
and picking up of buoys. I feel sure that
it will be of interest to the war depart
ment to know that it was demonstrated
that the Filipino is capable of rendering
such excellent service aboard ships ever
in the extreme northern climates"
In forwarding this report to the war
department Gen. Greedy says:

the highest expectations of their most
enthusiastic friends.
"The marked success of the past year
has caused the chief signal officer of
the army to engage a Filipino crew for
the operations in Alaskan waters for the
coming summer"

BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY
Still a Successful Business Man.

A man who had both jaws shot away
had trouble eating ordinary food but
found a food-drink that supplies the
nutriment needed. He says:
Il have been an invalid since the
siege of V~icksburg, in 1866, where l was
wounded by a MIME ball passing
through my head and causing the en-
tire loss of my jaws. l was a drummer
boy and at the time was leading a skir-
mish line, carrying a gun. Since that
time l have been awarded the medal OF
honor from the Congress of the United
States for gallantry on the field.
"The consequences of my wound
were dyspepsia in its most aggravated
form and finally proved ordinary cof-
fee was very hard on my stomach SO /
tried Postum and got better. Then l
tried common coffee again and got
worse. I did this several times and
finally as Postum helped me every
time | continued to use it, and how
often | think that il the Government
had issued Postum to us in the Army
how much better 1t would have been
for the soldier boys than coffee.
Coffee constipates me and Postum
does not; coffee makes me spit up my
food, Postum does not; coffee keeps me
awake nights, Postum does not. There
is no doubt coffee is too much Of a
s'imulant for most people and is the
cause Of nearly all the constipation.
