Natchez Finds a Solution.

AS the shipping season grows apace
the roustabout problem becomes more
serious at all important points on the
river The negro cotton handlers send
up the price of their labor by leaps
and bounds until it reaches almost
prohibitiye prices. When they reach
the highest figure that they think can
be wrung from helpless transportation
companies they idle about the levees
and await the answer TO their ultima
tum.
This Is an annual occurrence and
heretofore the battles have been de-
cided in favor of the rouster. Flushed
with past successes the demands this
year threaten to exceed all past rec
ords.
One transportation company at New
Orleans has met the issue by import
ing white dock laborers from the
North and the experiment, if success
full. will be initiated by others if the
negroes continue their exorbitant DE
mands.
Natchez has found another solution
which, while summary in its nature
ought to have salutary ehect In
bringing the rousters to their senses.
The negroes at the Mississippi town,
having agreed that they would MOI

for their services. Instead OF their

ODD CAUSES FOR DIVORCE.
Universal Reasons of -Four Chicago
Women for Asking Separation
From Their Husbands.

Four queer divorce cases come
from Chicago. One woman says her
husband threw a fish at her with such
force that il cut her arm with its
sharp fms. A saloon keeper charges
his wife with bombarding him with
bottles OF beer, but does no. state
what he was doing while this was go
ing on. Another man is said to have
tried to kill his wife by turning on
the gas jets in her room. A fourth
man says that his wife once beat him
with a hair brush until it broke.
It all goes to prove, however, that
when two people disagree they wiz

relief in personal violence. Primitive
human nature is pretty much the
same, and where the cave man or

chance for some Of the delicate
sentimefta theorists to figure cut

exists in homes where the husband
and wife have the habit of throwing

had been removed by the person en-
tering the house. and the wire net
ting bent backward and upward leav-
ing a triangular aperture. II then
became an easy matter 10 push the
glass transom to one side. In advance
1t must be stated that this door was
locked by Mrs Miller, the key being
left iii the lock on the inside and in
which condition II was found by Mrs.
Miller upon her return.
Ordinarily one who had gained an
entrance into the premises by climb
Ing over a transom could much more
conveniently have left the house
through this door, especially since
they were burdened with the booty.
Discerning this. Chief Price made an
examination of the woodwork on the
transom and found nndisturbed the
accumulation OF dust This was suf-
ficient proof to convince him that the
thief had not entered the house by
means of the transom but through
door to which he or she had dnpli-
cate key,
An inventory Of the articles stolen,
TWO revolvers, diamond-set bracelet,
two gold watches. one of which was

childrens savings banks containing
sums of money developed the fact
that only yaluables that could be
readily converted into money, were
aiken by the thief, while
solid silver hollow and fiat
ware was thrown about
promiscuously. while a handsome and
valuable pair of opera glasses was
left behind.
From this statement OF the facts In
the premises. including also that not
an article Of clothing was taken, 1t re-
quires no great amount of astuteness
to make the following deductions:
The person who committed the rob
berry had a duplicate key to one OF
the doors Of the residence. That he
or she was not far from the house
when Mrs. Miller left, and probably
;nrmised where she was going. The
party also was particular not to take
anything that could not easily be Sc
creted. This person also knew that
when circus or carnival company is
IN a town that there is well-fonnded
supposition that predatory rascals
lock to city in which the show
makes stand to prey upon the in
habitants and that the robbery would
be laid at The door of these who de-
parted with the show and in order to
make this certain tore away the two
strips holding the wire netting and
bent Ii back. leading one to infer that
an entrance had been effected through
the aperture thus made. but as Is the
case OF criminals, who invariably
make mistakes leading to detection,
forgot to climb up and brush the dust
off the woodwork of he transom as If
one had dragged their body over it.
This theory. very plausible solu-
ton, is the one upon which the police
are working and the only thing nee
essary to prove it's correctness is the
arrest of some one in Cairo and the
recovery of the stolen property in
such manner as will leave no doubt
as to The guilt of the accused.
