Mementoes of Jefferson Davis.


World s Fair Commissioner Henry
has been promised by Judge Charles
F. Fenner, Of New Orleans, the loan
of the bed on which Jefferson Davis
died, and will have same placed in
what is known as Mr.. Davis room in
the Beauvoir building at the World 8
Fair, where it will no doubt attract a
great deal Of attention. The COM
missioner has also received photo
graphs of the several homes occupied
by Mr.. Davis in the State of Missis-
sippi-the old homestead near Wood
vile, Wilkinson county; "The Bri-
ars," on the Briarfeld plantation,
where Mr.. Davis married his second
wife; the Davis residence at Rich
mond, which is now used as Con-
federate museum, and Beauvoir, on
the Mississippi gulf coast, where the
President of the Confederacy spent
his last years on earth. There will
be many other interesting souvenirs
of Mr.. Davis shown in the Mississippi
building, including the old furniture,
the desk at which he wrote the Rise
and Fall of the Confederacy," and
other articles too numerous to men
ton, but which are objects of inter
est nevertheless.

IN THE STATE
LEGISLATURE,
MONDAY.

The committee on humane and be-
nevolent institutions suggests that in
view of the fact that there are SO
many patients at the State Hospital
for the Insane who are mentally and
physically able to do farm and other
outdoor work, the state should turn
over the Rankin or the Oakley con-
Wet farms, both near Jackson, to the
trustees Of the hospital, who should
see to the carrying out of their sug-
gestions in the matter. The convicts
could be accommodated on the big
state farm In the delta, and there
would be very little trouble or ex-
pense attached to the change. The
patients at the. hospital do great
deal of farm work anyhow, but those
capable of such labor would thus be
perated from the worst cases, and
that would relieve the crowded con-
dition of the buildings.
The lower House has passed the
coal oil bill, after lengthy discussion,
by vote of So to 43, and it is be-
lieved here that it will pass the SEN
ate. 1t has been shown during the de-
bates that the big oil companies have
been dumping their bad oil on the
state of Mississippi for years, simply
because the state had no inspector.
The Senate has passed by a vote
of % to 6 what is known as the cleo
tive judiciary resolution. This reso-
luton increases the number of Su-
preme Court Judges from three to five
and increases their terms from nine to
ten years. The resolution must pass
the second and third reading in the
House, but it is believed that it will
go through and that the state will be
called on to vote on the proposition
to change the judiciary system from
appointive to elective in the near fu-
t11ro

Trustv Wants to "Cuss.


The members of the Board of Con-
troll of the Mississippi Penitentiary
are up against hard proposition. The
difficulty arises out of the stubborn
ness of one pair of oxen. At the saw
mill camp on the Parchman Planta-
ton, in the Delta, the Sergeant in
charge, called "Bishop" Galloway,
has issued orders to the effect that
there shall be no swearing or cursing
around the lumber camp. No matter
what the circumstances are, no matter
how justifable a person may be, the
Sergeant says there shall be no "cuss-
ing" No strong or strange oaths can
pass the lips of any of the convicts
One Of the TRUSTEES does not like this
order, not that he is particularly fond
Of profanity, but simply because it is
necessary. This trusty works a pair
of oxen that haul logs from the forest
to the mill, and he declares that the
oxen will not bulge from their tracks
until they are "cussed.o You car
speak to them in soothing, geutle
voice, or roaring commanding tone
but they will not move one step. Now
the trusty files a petition before the
board to allow him to "cuss' the OK
en-. He says that he has no persona
feeling in the matter, and that 1T L
a matter of absolute indifference
whether he is allowed to "cuss" o.
not, but the oxen will not move unles:
he "cusses," and the state cannot ge1
lumber unless these oxen haul it from
the forest to the mill. Several mem
bers of the Board of Control have

Curious Stroke Of lightning.

The lightning cut some curious ca
pers at Jackson during recent ter
rife rain and thunderstorm. Three
negroes who slept in cabin on the
premises of Mr.. Will Muh, in the
southern end of the city, miraculous
ly escaped death, the electrical cur
rent passing through shotgun lean
ing against the wall and into the
ground beneath the floor. The barrel
of the shotgun was not injured in the
least, the shells were not exploded,
but the stock Of the gun was shatter-
ed into dozens of pieces and scattered
all over the room. The occupants OF
the room were badly frightened, but
were not even stunned.

Will Make Statement.

1t is learned that the old Board OF
Trustees for the State Insane Hosplt-
al will in few days prepare and give
out a statement presenting their side
of the case in the matter of the land
purchase which was censured by the
Committee son Benevolent Institutions
in their recent report to the legisla-
.ture. The trustees do not live here
and are somewhat scattered, but will
get together as soon as possible ano
make answer to the committee re-
port. presenting their side of the ques-
ton.

THURSDAY.

A test vote was taken in the House
this afternoon on the proposition to
issue bonds in such amount as may be
necessary to keep the state from run
ming in to debt during the next two
years. The vote resulted in sc for the
bond issue and 55 against it. The
question, as presented to the House,
was whether to issue bonds or to in
crease the tax levy.
The Senate passed the general ap-
preparation bill, providing for the sal
aries of state officers and employees,
judges, chancellors and district attor-
neys for the next two years. The bill
was passed exactly as it came from
the House, without amendment 1t
does not increase or diminish salaries
as heretofore existing.
A meeting of the conference com
mittee appointed TO adjust the disa-
greement between the house and
the senate on the state textbook uni
formity bill was held this afternoon.
This is the second meeting of the COM
mittee, and they adjourned without
any apparent progress. Since the
book lobbies came on the scene, and
have manifested such eagerness for
book commission" number have
begun to doubt its advisability. The
hook comnanies show mnch wilino-
ness to spend money that the legisla-
ture has about decided that the best
interest of the state lies in the direc-
tion of plan that will put their mon
ey at discount. Many prominent
members of the conference committee
have expressed themselves as favor
ing the suggestion that the commits
siono plan had better be discarded,
and some other plan advocated that
will drive the book companies from
the field. Looking to this end, Sena-
tor Hicks, who is chairman of the con-
ference committee, is debating a sub
stitute proposition which he will pro-
badly offer at the next meeting. His
proposition, if adopted, will compel
the companies to sell books in Missis-
l.sippi at the lowest price that such
books are sold anywhere in the coun-
try, thus giving Mississippi the bene-
fit of all competition between the COM
panies everywhere else.

Nothing of any great Importance
was transacted in the legislature to-
day. The Senate this afternoon pass
ed the elective judiciary resolution on
its third reading. This morning it

inmates of boarding schools.
The House spent good part of the
morning in discussing how county coal
oil inspectors should be named. A
substitute for the coal oil bill was Of
fered and the original bill and the
substitute was again referred to the
committee.
The Judiciary Committee, as fore
casted yesterday, submitted its re-
port, as follows:
"Mr. Speaker-Your Committee on
Judiciary has under consideration the
special report of the Committee on
Humane and Benevolent institutions
relating to the purchase of 413.96

the statement of facts contained in
said report to be true, have instructed
me to report same back with the fol-
lowing recommendations
tFirst-That a concurrent resolu-
tion be adopted by the House and Sen
ate instructing the Attorney General
to institute the necessary legal pro-
eeedings to recover for the state the

The lawmakers and lunatics danced
and tripped the light fantastic till the

selves immensely. The crowd present
was several hundred more than had
been invited or expected, and the
floors were so overrun with youth that
the poor lunatics who are confined
had very poor show.
