In speaking OF his earlier experiences,
Mir. Montgomery said:
My father, mother. two brothers and
two sisters were owned by Joseph f.
Davis, brother Of Jefferson Davis. There
was a fear that the property might
be confscated. and it was turned over to
us after Joseph Davis had gained pos
session of it. We were employed, to-
gether with 300 other slaves, but be
gan to manage the estate ourselves.
In 1887 | went to Mound Bayou and
for 10 years have been collecting ne
groes from all over the United States for
settlement down there. Now there are
10000 acres owned by colored people,
with frontage of five miles on the
YaZoo & Mississippi Valley railroad.
Il employ $50 men who raise cotton
for me, receiving one-half the crop, and
a number of others who rent the land.
I have been land agent for the railroad.

er, and all the officers and inhabitants
are negroes"

Moist Vapor from the Sea.

Moist vapor is constantly arising from
the sea, and in the course of year
this amounts to a layer of water II feet
thick. This mass of moisture is borne
to the clouds, and the winds drift large
part of it over the land, on which it
descends in rain or snow.

NEW RUSSIAN COMMANDER.

st. Petersburg, Sept 2G.-The EN-.
pcror has appointed Gen. Grippenberg.
commanding the troops at Wilma, TO
command the second Manchurian
army.
Gen. Grippenberg is &C years of age.
He served in the Crimean war and dis
tiuguished himself in the Polish insuT-
rection OF 1868, and in the Turkestan
campaign Of 1S67-S. He commanded
tho Moscow guards regiment in the
TurhO-Russan war.
Emperor Nicholas has sent the fol-
lowing letter to Gen. Grippenberg:
The intense energy with which Japan
is conducting the war and the stub
bOTness and high warlike qualities dis
played by the Japanese impel me to
considerably strengthen the forces at
the front in order to attain decisive
success in the shortest possible time.
since by this increase the units
viii reach a figure making their con-
tiHuance in one army impossible with
out prejudice to the proper direction,
mancuyering and mobility of the
troops, | have found it necessary to
divide the active forces in Manchuria
into two armies, leaving one in the
hands of Gen. KurOpatkin. | appoint
you to command the second"
The emperor is convinced that the
prestige of the empire is at stake. The
reorganization amounts to formal no
lice to the world that he intends to
vastly increase the number of troops
al the theatre of war. 1t is intended
30 silence all talk of foreign interven-
tiOn by the announcement that Russia
means to fight out the issue with
japan on the field of battle. Probably
100000 additional men will be placed
IN the field.
Che Foo, Sept. 26.-As a result of
the battle before Port Arthur which
began on September 19, the Japanese
succeeded in capturing several i'm
DOrtant positions, and to-day the Rus
sian tenure of the big forts guarding
the north, northeast and northwest
sides of the town is seriously threat
cuod. Chinese information places the
JaDanese losses under 5000 for ths
three days fighting.
Trying to Destroy Russian Fleet.
London, Sept. 26.-The Daily Mail 8
Che Foo correspondent says that the
Japanese are now deyoting their ener-
GIGS to an attempt to drive the Rus
sian feet from Port Arthur. The Jap
ancse assault Is directed against the
forts commanding the harbor, while
Admiral Togo with his fleet reinforced
is waiting outside and has placed pow
orfuI cruisers and torpedo boat de
str0yers in position to prevent the
nogsible use Of Tsingtau or treaty
1,or+s nv the Russian vessels. Japan
,ho correspondent says, is determined
TO destroy the Russian vessels before
it rs possible for Baltic feet to arrive.

The Jersey City news., 1904-10-20

The Pneumonia Commission of New
York City has begun an inquiry into The
causes of pneumonia. This is not to be
confounded with determination of the
cure of disease; though this naturally
follows in the work of the Commission.
The task is considered one of the most
important sanitary problems in the world.
That such commission has been set to
work, says the Brooklyn Eagle" is a
tribute to modern science, which has re-
veaied the fact that the exciting cause
of acute diseases of the respiratory or
gans is a miero-organism, multiplied in
the human body. The conclusion seems
iustifable. as Commissioner Darlington
said in his address TO the meeting, that
these diseases are essentially commun-
icable. and. however greats the inherent
difficulties of the problem may be, the
oretically, at least, they should be to a
greater or less extent preventable.
1t has been learned that tuberculosis
is communicable and certain municipal
regulations recognize this fact, in an at
tempt to prevent its spread. The study
of the causes of pneumonia is to be based
on studies of conditions in New York
City, and properly so. for here are crowd
ed conditions that are constantly increas-
ing and intensifying. One of the special
studies of the Commission will be to de-
termine the evidence of the communi-
cability of the disease.
If no other consideration for the press
ing of the work of the Commission ex-
listed glance at map in the commits
sioner's Office would be convincing; it
shows how the death rate from pnenmo-
nia steadily climbs in this section. Only in
the influenza epidemic did the death line
approach the height that it reached last
year, and when the computation is made
for the present year the death line will
reach higher point than it has at any
time in twenty years past. That the de-
lberations of the commission will be
thorough may be expected from the fact
that gathering of evidence, comparing
data, and discussions will be carried on
for about a year.
