EoRrY.sEcoNp DAY.

The senate defeated the McLaurin
bill seeking to Great forty-five dis
trict courts in Mississippi, each to be
presided over by a Judge at salary
of SIS per month. The measure had
been under discussion in that body at
intermittent periods for week or
more, and hard fight was made by
the author to secure its passage.
The senate passed the house bill,
creating a capitol commission to be
composed of the governor, secretary OF
State, insurance commissioner and
revenue agent, and the measure now
goes to the governor for signature.
The remainder of the session OF the
body was devoted to appropriation
bills.
Several minor bills were introduced
during the session of the house and
number of committees made reports
on pending measures. The approprla-
ton bill for the Mississippi A. and M.
College, which carries $21S,000, not in
GLIDING interest on the college land
fund, was passed. The remainder OF
the session was devoted to appropria-
ton bills.

FoRTY-FlRsT DAY.

The lower house passed the commit
tee substitute for the bill creating a
system of coal oil inspection in the
State and providing punishment for
the sale of adulterated oil or petro-
leum products of any kind.
The measure authorizes the COVER
nor to appoint an inspector in every
county for term of four years, under
bond of $1,000, and to receive COM
pensation of IS cents for every 100
gallons inspected to be paid by the
party for whom the service Is rem
dered. The methods of inspection are
carefully defined, the bill being
framed after similar measures of 9th
err States. Other measures passed by
the house during the afternoon ses-
sion were as follows:
Relating to impaneling juries in
counties having separate court dis
tricts; changing Supreme Court terms
from October and March to November
and April, SO that the body shall con-
vene and adjourn one month later;
authorizing the consolidation of mu-
inequalities and granting telephone
equal rights with telegraph companies
to erect poles along railroad rights OF
way.
The senate passed the constitution
al amendments providing for an cleo
tive judiciary system, the measure go
ing through on its first reading by Il
vote of 20 to 6. This resolution also
provides for the increase of the SUI
preme bench to five members, and the
lengthening Of the term to ten years.
The house has already passed an cleo
tive judiciary amendment, which Is
somewhat different in its provisions
to the senate measure, and a confer
ence will probably be necessary.
Bills were passed as follows: Au-
thorizing boards of supervisors to
construct telephone lines; authorizing
Warren county to make refund to Ben
Grider; authorizing municipalities to
levy 1O-mill tax without consent OF ma
jority of taxpayers.
A number of glazing errors were
pointed out in the report of the in
vestigating committee on the Univers-
ity of Mississippi, and the document
was recommitted for correction.

g" ':"...!. Girl "a Rear Children.

London, Feb. - iu innovation
IL education is being proposed by the
London county council and the
scheme IS meeting with great favor
among educators.
Schools are to be established and
training given for the care Of children,
and it is strongly recommended that
girls of all classes should be admitted.
Mrs. Mardell Creighton, the wife Of
the late bishop of London, is presi-
dent Of the Womens Industrial Coun-
Gil, and is strongly advocating the
scheme.
1t has been recognized for long
time that the modern girl is very
deficient in her knowledge of home
duties, and that although IN the
technical schools, cookery, lessons in
household management and sewing
have been given, it is time that edu-
cation should be extended, and that
all girls should receive at least twelve
month 8 training in the care and up
bringing Of children.
1t proposed that the schools be
provided with india-rubbcr babies l;fe
size, wicker cradles and complete
wardrobe, including the two stages
in the baby's career, the long and the
short clothes.
The girl will be taught how to
nurse, how to feed and how to clothe
the child. how to doctor its ailment
in fact she is to play at being mother.

Of the compulsory examination, and
the results have been singularly sue

Stood Body Up in Pulpit.

indianapolis. Ind., February 22. :
The most unique funeral service ever
conducted in Indiana took place Sun
day at Folsomville, Warrick County
when the body Of "Uncle James
Hart" an old-time Baptist minister
who died Thursday, was stood up in
the pulpit in coffin while the funeral
discourse was delivered.
Hart's dying request was that his
body should be stood in the pulpit
during the funeral services, as he had
preached in the church for forty
years. His request was granted.
The undertaken who prepared the
body decided that it could not be
stood up in the pulpit except by ty-
ing it to the altar, but this plan was
uot favored. a platform was then
constructed, just back Of the pulpit,
and on this the coffin was placed in
such manner tbct its interior could
be seen from all parts Of the church.
The lid was removed and the body OF
the aged minister exposed to the eyes
of the congregation.
Hart had been in the ministry in
Southern Indiana for nearly sixty
years, and, it is said, baptized more
that one thousand persons. -Phila

Newest Health Craze.

London, Feb. 27.-Ono Of the new
est health crazes is the "sleep cure"
The inventor is a Swedish doctor, and
of course, for the time it will be the
rage in these days of mental worry and
strenuous living, and more than one
society woman, worn out with the
constant round Of entertainment, is
looking forward to her sleep cure.
Prolonged sleep, from which there is
no awaking, except to eat and drink,
is kept up for a period which varies
according to each individual case,
sometimes for as long as six or eight
weeks. Epileptics and diplomaniacs
are being treated with manifest sue
cess.
One girl who had suffered terribly
from fits, paid visit to the Sleep
Cure establishment and remained un-
der the treatment for exactly month
All efforts had before been absolutely
unavailing, but she is now reported to
be entirely cured.

The Rev. DR.. Kaylor, of Westmin-
lister, Long Island, is accredited with
holding belief which is likely to
precipitate heated but futile contro-
versy among persons who rejoice 10
occasion for argument concerning the
non essential details Of things reli-
gious. Speaking to his congregation
on Sunday last DR.. Kaylor said:
"Most peoples idea Of an angel is Of
beautiful, graceful, white robed fe-
male figure with wings on either
shoulder, peacefully floating through
the air | want to say there are no
fcmale angels The astonishment
occasioncd among his auditors ia said
to have been very great; and one may
well imagine that it was. When be
added, angels arc strong and glorious
creatures" it is not impossible that
something of anger as we'll as amaze
mcnt was felt by the ladies present.
AS matter of fact theological
ipse dixit of this character proves
nothing. There is no reason for pre-
suming that DR.. kaylor has any light
on the subject Of the sex of the bless
ed that has not been vouchsafed to
others. 1t is true, we believe, that
the Scriptures nowhere mention fe-
male angel while they do record the
names of few whom we have some
reason for believing belonged to the
opposite sex. But this is hardly
sufficient ground upon which to base
the conclusion reached by DR.. Kay
lor. Because the one or ten angels
who were selected as special ENJOYS
to earth happened to be gentlemen
angels is certainly not proof positive
that there were no "strong and glor-
ious creatures" of the opposite gender
who could have performed the service
de:ircd.
1t is not entirely clear whether DR..
kaylor draws sharp distipction be
tween the older generation of angels
and those who have been added tc
the ranks Of Heavens hosts within
the last several thousand years. Il
he do, it will, of course, tend to les
sen the opposition which his view o.
the matter is calculated to urous;

meant no reflection upon living O.
dead women, we are unable to Sc,

heaven about the space Of half a,
hour" but even this will be accepted
as in no WISE final in determining
question in which the Bible itsel

Cartcrsville, Ga. Feb. 2G.

Cartcrsvllle, Ga, Feb. 70.
To the Atlanta journal: l have
spent three days Of this week in South
Carolina, and | have been thinking
considerably over what saw and
heard on this trip as well as on othcr
tours through South Carolina. I
spent last Monday night in Charles
ton. Onr train on Coast Line was
late. We got TO Charleston about .
o'clock. inquired at the hotel for a
decent restaurant. | was referred to
one in the block Of the hotel. went
in, ordered my supper. At the table
next to me were four young men, not
eating but drinking They were full
when got in; they were fuller when
I got out. When got back to the
hotel remarked that there seemed to
be more to drink than to eat at the
restaurant they referred me to. That
brought on more talk, and the dspen-
sary, with all it's characteristics, was
discussed.
A gentleman standing high in the
financial and political life of South
Carolina proposed to me that lie would
show me something if would go with
him, and I accepted his invitation,
and within two blocks he carried me
into six full-hedged Charleston blind
tigers. He said there were 300 Of
them there. Some of them we're raid
ed by the State and city constabulary
frequently. Others were immune =;
they never had been raidcd.
There are IA State disponsaries in
Charleston. I suppose they only do a
small per cent Of the business in IL
quor. The dispensaries must close at
+ o'clock in the evening and open at
in the morning, but the blindtigcrs do
business after the hours of the dis
pensary, and they do business until
the wee small hours Of the morning.
The names and places of these blind
tigers are as well known in Charleston
as the clothing stores of George Muse
and Eiseman, or the dry goods stores

ries, and the States profit is made in
their profits as they sell to the county
and town dispensaries. For instance
each dispensary pays the State dis
pensary IL cents bottle for that pop.
skull, which the town dispensary sells
for ID cents, and it has the stamp Of
the State chemist on it, reading
Nothing chemically impure in this

The Maids Evasive Answer.

Strange as it may seem, there is q
public man in this city who is blessed
or cursed with a tender conscience
that worries him in small matters as
we'll as in great. Among the things
that he cannot justify to himself is
the bidding servant to say that he is
not at home when in reality he is in
side his house. At the same time he
is not able ~ receive the many Wis
itors who cal upon him, and his only
resource Mas to give instructions that
polite. excuses should be given.
Upon one occasion. such instructions
were given to a maid,'!an Irish girl
gifted with the readiness and good wit
of her nation.
"Then I'm to be saying, sir, that
you're not at homer" the maid in
quired.

should ask for me, you must just put

maid reply. Mary was AZ good as

reported the circumstance to her en-
ployer.
"What did you do, Mary2" inquir-

minutes after the death march was

Disowning Its Own Child.

If the democracy Of New York
had declared in favor of the sun
rising and setting as heretofore, and
a few other equally important and
undisputable general principles,
their platform would not be greater
burlesque than it is. 1t is actually
fiat and meaningless enough to be
satisfactory to the Chicago Chroni-
Gle, something that never before
could be said Of a platform adopted
by convention calling itself demo-
cratic. Here is the Chronicles I'M
qualified Endorsement:
"Instead of ignoring the matter
of platform the New York demo-
Gratis evidently deemed it wise to
formulated few general principles
to which all democrats could sub
scribe, and this they did in man
ner eminently satisfactory. There
is nothing in the New York plat
form to which we would take ex-
captions. lfit be true that repub-
licans also can subscribe to the doc
trine therein laid down so much the
better for the New York democrats
and for the republicans too.
