I'VE were lead to think that the man
ufacturers would submit some PROPOSE
ton that did not embrace the 12h per

cided on no proposition.
1T seems to US that they are deter

but It Is apparent that the manufac,

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle Of the Important Happenings
Said to Have an Eye on the Port.

A rumor has been current for some
time that the Frisco system has been
contemplating the building Of a rail-
road from Memphis, Tenn, to Gulf
port, and the indications are that
there is fair prospect of this predic-
tion coming true. A well-known citi-
zen, who is largely interested in the
Mississippi Delta, stated that the Fris-
co people have a representative in the
Delta endeavoring to secure deeds for
right of way through the country from
the owners of property along the pro-
posed line. The Frisco people have
long been desirous of securing an out
let to the'gulf, and it is being asserted
that the proposed line, will extend
from Memphis southwark, crossing
the Clarksdale branch at Matson, just
above Tutwiler, thence continuing
south and crossing the Southern Rail
way at Indianola, thence down
through the western portion Of Yazoo
county, crossing the Yazoo river about
two miles below Satartia, crossing the
Alabama and Vicksburg at Bolton
and the Illinois Central at Crystal
Springs, and on to Gulfport.

EXPLOITATION in Canaan.

At recent meeting of the Royal
Institute, Maj.-Gen. Sir Chas. W. Will
son delivered an address, in which he
described the work of exploration in
Palestine during the past twelve
months. Operations were being pros
ecuted at Gezer, a city that was a
place of Importance long before the
Israelites passed over Jordan, and had
q continuous history down to the pc
riod of the Crusades. No Levitical
city had hitherto been explored, and
the committee were consequently de-
sirous that the examination of GezeI
should be of the most searching ma
ture When the work was commenced
no one expected that he would find
the untouched cremated remains OF
q cave-dwelling race which was not
acquainted with metal, or the undis
turbed dead of one of the Canaanite
tribes, with their bronze weapons and
food vessels of handmade pottery
Yet these and other discoveries had
supplied chronological starting point
for the archaeology of pre-Israelite
Canaan, and had thrown great deal
of light upon the domestic life OF the
Amorites, and possibly of the Israeli
ties under the Judges.

CnIId CT MANY Nations.

When Camille di Righini. the cnarm'
ing child of Nine. Ella Russell, was
born, his parents were in great doubt
as to his nationality, for he was born
two days out from New York, on the
Konigen Louise, under the German
flag. His mother is an American; his
father, Count di Righini, a pure ltal
ian. On the fathers side Nine. Ella
Russells grandfather was Welsh and
her maternal grandmother Austrian
To add to these complications, Camil
los birth was registered, according to
law, at the first port Of call, which
happened to be Cherbourg, France
What was the nationality of this little
italian American Scotch Welsn
Austrian German French Englisf
Infant? This profound problem for
long time perplexed all Nine. Russell's
friends and acquaintances, until the
singer at last had the good fortune u

moments hesitation pronounced the
verdict, "Why, av coorse, he's son o

Code Commissioners Work.

The Code Commission composed OF
Chief Justice Whitfield, Hon. I. C..
Catchings and Hon. w. FL. Hardy, has
been hard at work on the new code
for the state all summer and great
deal of progress has been made IN
getting up the states new code. The
Commissioners have held frequent
meetings and consultations. A con-
siderable amount of work has been
passed on. When the Commission first
met it divided out the work, allotting
to each a certain class of work, and
at frequent intervals holding confer
ences and passing on that part OF the
work which was completed.

u
Mourners to Flight.
While a funeral service was in prog
ress in the Vernon church, near
Plummer's Landing, swarm OF bum.
Bile bees which had nested under the
pulpit was disturbed, and, emerging
from its quarters, catsed panic
among the mourners, says a dispatch
from Flemingsburg. KY.
The officiating minister and friends
hastily retreated from the sanctuary
and were closely followed by the pail
bearers with the casket, warding of
the bees as best they could in their
flight.
A number of the mourners and two
pall-bearers are reported to have been
badly stung. However, they remained
until the funeral service had been
concluded in the church yard.
The exact location Of the nest can
not be determined until the pulpit il

Mississippi's Interests.

An unknown writer has said that in
Mississippi there is greater diversi-
ty of interests for the benefit of a
greater number of people than any
state in the Union. Whoever this
writer may have been, he was not far
from the truth. No state can offer
more to the man who is willing and
able to work than Mississippi. The
resources are as yet practically unde-
veloped and the avocations for max
ing living as yet are not defined.
The near future promises great revel-
ations along this line.

More Trouble for Abdul.

Constantinople. The American le-

the Porte demanding reparation for
the attack, near Aleppo, by brigands,
upon a caravan belonging to an Amer
lean house. The raid resulted in the
killing of six of the caravans camels,
and carrying off by the bandits OF
sixty camels and considerable sum
Of money. The legation insists upon
the arrest and punishment Of the out
laws, the restitution Of the camels and
money, and the adoption Of efficacious
measures for the prevention Of re-
currence of the outrage.

Site for orphanage.

The committee from the board OF
trustees of the Methodist Orphanage
appointed to look at sites for the or
phanage has performed its task. A
number of sites were looked at, but
the committee did not state which site
would be recommended. 1t is under
stood that the recommendations will
be made to the North Mississippi Con-
ference, at Kosciusko, on Dec. Z. A
number of very eligible sites have
been offered, and the committee was
much pleased with all it saw.

the largest concerns of the kind IN the
country. The company had four offices
