and New Orleans
Trade.

Sundays Commercial Appeal says
Information was received IN Mem
phis to the effect that through line
of three boats is to be established be-
tween New Orleans and St. Louis.
There is no longer any doubt about
the intentions Of the company enter
ing the trade between those two
cities. The charter r. thu company

boats decided on, also the New Or
leans representative Of the company.
The name of the new company that

Anchor Line Steamship Company, OF
Chicago. 1t has capital of 81, 900,
900, all of which has been subscribed
in the NJrth aud East.
The plans Of the company, as far
as known here are that they will let
contracts in short time for the
building of three handsome sidewheei
steamers of light draught, speedy and
luxurious throughout, riyaling the
finest boats ever afoat on the Missis-
sippi. Every comfort known will be
furnished Tor the passengers. and

handling of freight will be put
aboard. The machinery will be OF

oping high speed.

An Excellent Show.

Large crowds of both white and
colored people have attended the en-
tertainments OF the DR.. F.W. Stookey
Medicine Company during the past
week, and all have been we'll enter
tanned by latest songs and most laugh
able farces. Dr.. Stookey has caused
to be erected a number of comfortable
seats and parties can now enjoy this
treat with comfort. He has engaged
several more artists who will be here
soon. Shows will be given every
night next week, and all are invited
to attend.

This shows that the proportion OF
students who attend this university
are faithful and successful to an un-
usual degree. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er any other state university or col
lege doing thorough work can show a
similarly large proportion of students
who remain to the completion of their
courses.
The last session of the University
seems to have broken the record in
several respects showing, as 1t did,
the largest enrolment ever made in
University classes, and decidedly the
largest freshman class, representing
new students ever enrolled. 1t is
known in the vicinity that the record
was broken in another way, the SEES
sion showing the smallest number of
disorders and the best work of stu
dents.
The SIMMER term Of the University
has been one of the special features
of educational development in recent
years. Five years ago the chan
cellor asked for authority from the
trustees to make the work permanent.
Generous friends have aided it. In
the summers Of 1908 and 1904 over
one thousand pupils were enrolled,
and the advantages offered to them
and the results achieved through them
for the children Of the State, in i'm
proved teaching and instruction are
beyond computation. The main
tenance OF the work is worthy Of all
the energy expended in organizing it,.
The University has evidently en-
tered upon an era of prosperity sur
passing even it's previous most honor
able record among the higher insti-
tutions Of the country Its equip
ment, its organization and it's meth
otds are all up to date and worthy OF
communication.

would have him again, that she
would send to Greenville at once fol
a lawyer and proofs that the child is
her own.
Since the boy has been under SO
much evil influence while running
on the streets of Helena, it was de-
clded that the best plan would be to
remove him from his old associations.
Accordingly Mr., Ford, at the request
OF the Kings Daughters, left today
for ST. Louis with the little .waif and
will place him in a charitable insti-
tuition there.
Meanwhile the people who have
done SC much for this little outcast
Tor humanity's sake and for the hon
or OF the white lace have been at nc
small expense, and the expenses have
not all been betrayed yet by any
means. Either the World or Mrs.
l., j. Wilkes, the president of the
Kings Daughters, will receive con-
tributions from all charitably dis
posed persons who may desire to hell
detray the expenses of finding home
for this child and of helping to edu-
cate him

Following the banquet the betrothal
of Miss Sophie Bogen, sister OF the

LOCAL NEWS.

Mr.. Marcus Askew, a prominent
attorney of Carrollton, Miss, died
very suddenly last Wednesday
night, at the home of his sister
Mrs. Dr.. Shackleford, on North Pop
lar street, from heart trouble. Mr..
Askew had been in failing health for
some time. and spent weeks at time
here at the homes of his sisters, Mrs
IShackleford and Mrs. Matthews, for
rest and treatment. On the unfor-
tunate night he had been sitting on
the porch talking with DR.. and Mrs
Shacklefo1d, never complaining OF
his troubles, and retired about
clock. Hardly an hour had he been
in bed before his sister heard an un-
usual sound coming from the room,
and she went to his assistance. Every
thing was done for him that could
be done by both the Doctor and his
two sisters, but life was gone and at
8 O'Clock he was corpse. Mr.. AS
kew is we'll known in Mississippi and
has always stood high in his profess
sion and in its citizenship. He was
man with many fine traits of moral
character and mad a heart that re-
sponded at all times to the appeals OF
the orphan or widow, or the needs OF
tbs community. The death of such
man is sad to chronicle, and the sym
pathy of the entire community goes
to the relatives in his loss. The re-
mains were carried to Carrollton for
interment Thursday afternoon, over
the Southern.
The vicksburg fans are sore at
Greenville because of their defeat by
the Pine Bluff team. We fail to see
a cause for it, for men sick and Grip
pied and unable to play ball cannot

tories.
Mr.. H. 7. Crosby has been con-
fined to his bed this week with bad
case of malaria, the force in the
office, which is also short and
sick had to get out the paper. Mr..
Crosby will no doubt be able to look
after the business of the Office again
next week.
The streets of the city are again
filling up with people. Every train
that arrives brings bacK some one or
family who have been away for the
summer. They are welcomed by the
stay-at homes as if they had been

mess to picking up and every mer-
chant is busily engaged fixing up his
new goods as if he expected to sell
out before Christmas.

The Kings Daughters consulted an

announcing that she has engaged the
services of Miss Anna johnson for the
coming season, as chief trimmer at
her millinery parlors. Miss johnson
is lady of rare taste and her work
here last season was so satisfactory
that Mrs. Sack determined to secure
her services fer another year at what

the friends and customers of Mrs.
Sack requested that she secure Miss
Johnsons services for the coming
year. Mrs. Sack and Miss johnson

University of Mississippi.

The University of Mississippi on
June Sth closed the most prosperous
year in it's history. This evidenced
by the facts set forth in the cata-
logue, a we'll made volume of 30
pages. For the first time in its his
/ tory the course has been so broadened
and extended as to give the institu-
ton the form of university as dis
tinguished from college.
The courses offered cover wide
range OF cultural and professional
study, including the curriculum of
Science, Literature and the Arts or
dinarily offered, and well arranged
and thorough courses in Law, Engi-
neering of several kinds, Education
and a preliminary course of two years
in Medicine. With these facilities
available in the State, and at re-
markably small expense, no Missip-
plan need seek such work elsewhere.
Probably in no institution OF similar
grade are the necessary expenses so
small.
The development of the State Uni
versity during the past ten years has
been steadily progressing, evidently
following definite plan that required
effort to achieve results. The results
a set forth in the last catalogue OF
the institution should be gratifying
to all Mississippians. The problem
was to maintain high standard OF
excellence an thoroughness in schol-
arship and to develope the material
resources needed, and to increase the
number Of students while other in
situations are swelling their numbers
with students of elementary grades.
Comparing the last catalogue with
one issued ten years ago, it would
seem that the entire volume Of work
of the institution has been practically
doubled. The courses cover vastly
greater scope, the faculties include
twice as many instructors, and the
number of students enrolled in Uni
! yersity work shows a similar in
crease During this period as shown
in recently issued bulletin, there
have been vast improvements in the
material equipment. The buildings
have been renovated and enlarged
and supplied with all conveniences in
the way of water, steam, heat, cleo
trio lights, etc,
The living rooms for yonng men
have been made vastly more comfort
able. and another rev boarding house
is being constructed The arrange
ments for young women students af-
ford all that could be desired in the
wav of comfort and wholesome in
fiuences.
In ,he sessions Of 1912 and 1902
az the number of degree graduates
from the University of Mississippi
reached the remarkable proportion OF
% per cent Of the total enrolment
and during the last session, 1904
the proportion was nearly rs great.
