EORTY.SIxTH DAY.

The house held but one session and
was engaged all the morning passing
bills on the calendar of the committee
IN local and private legislation and a
large number OF them were disposed
Of. The senate finished up the priv
ilege tax bill and passed 1t. 1t Will
now go to the house for action on
the senate amendment. The senate
in the afternoon devoted its time to
passing local bills. The house COM
m!ttee on local and private legislation
voted to indefinitely postpone the bill
passed by the senate to give the peo-
pie Of COahoma county the opportunity
TO vote to abolish the Second district
Of that county. The bill will hardly
come up in the house in view OF this
adverse report.

How TO Love a Girl.

All girls like to be loved, but they
are not all alike, and care should be
taken to discriminate among the many
varieties.
In making love to an old maid, the
preliminaries are only necessary. Give
her a fair start, and she will do the
rest. Remember that she Is making
up for lost time, and hold on tight, and
shut your eyes. As loag as she has
taken the cue. don't fear for the re-
suit. You needn't do a thing,
When she is young and innocent,
with a frank, open'work countenance
and with no experience, get up early
every morning and watch her door
step. There are others on the same
trail, and II you wish to be an active
member of the club. YOU must do your
share of the work, II she accepts
flowers and fruit readily. don't get too
gay. This is only your privilege. And
when you feel that you cannot stand
it any longer, tell her so, a1d leave
the rest to her. She will be your
teacher. You needn't do Il thing.
With a widow, be calm and un'
moved in the face OF danger. You
are in for 1t, and don't get ratified. Sit
around where you can be reached, and
submit to everything. But remember
that, so far as you are concerned, there
is nothing doing. 1t won't be neces'
sary.
If she is a tall, straight blonde, with
lustrous eye and a large, open smil
don't allow your feelings TO overcome
You. Do the right thing, and wait
She will see that you are well taker
care OF,
Or If she is any other kind OF girl, u
doesn't matter. Don't do a thing your
self, She will do the rest. No mattel
how slow you may be, have no fear o.
the ultimate result.
But be sure OF one thing. Before
beginning, get a million or so.---Tru

FORTY-NiNTH DAY.

Both houses Of the legislature were
quite busy. The house ways and
means committee reported in favor OF
making a 81, O00. 900 bond issue, and a
bill prescribing the form of issue was
introduced by Mr.. stennis, the chHir-
man of the ways and means commit
tee. The indications are that tGis
matter will be left over until the very
last matter Of Importance transacted
before adjournment. Sentiment among
the members Is very much divided
on the bond issue question, and there
ia a disposition among those opposed
to the step to question the accuracy
of the figures prepared by those who
are urging the measure. A majority
of The latter are In favor Of making
IN issue of 81, 000, 900 in bonds at 4
per cent to run for twenty wars, with
the privilege Of redeeming a portion Oh
the amount each year.
Both bodies are grinding away on
appropriation bills, and several of the
largest measures Of this kind are still
pending.
II will require the vote OF sixty
seven members In the house to carry
the bond issue bill, the constitution
providing that such bill be passed by
the votes of a majority OF all mem
bers elected to each house OF the leg.
islature. Only ffty-six members vot-
ed for the resolution declaring a bond
issue necessary, and only twenty-five
members were absent. The advocates
must, therefore, get one.half of the alb.
sentees and also maintain their former
strength.
That there Is no certainty Of a bill
being enacted into law after 1t has
safely passed n body was illustrated
when the house committees slaught-
cred quite a number of bills sent ove
from the senate, among the number
being two measures relating to the
liquor traffic.
A favorable report was made on the
senate bill prohibiting the giving to
minors Of intoxicating liquors,

ing been taken in the senate on an
appropriation bill for this purpose.
An u~nfavorable report was also
made on the house bill to establish a
State depository system, and this Is
another subject on which the laws will
not be changed by this session.

FlFTIETH DAY.

The lower house, by a vote OF So
to 81, has failed to pass the Stennis
bill providing for a $700,0O0 bond Is
sue to meet the prospective dehclt
for the biennial term. There was a
hot debate on the bill, lasting the en-
tire afternoon, and the result was
rather surprising to many members,
who regarded the action Of the house
in declaring several days ago by a
majority of one in favor OF a bond
issue in preference to increasing the
State tax levy as valid and binding.
The Stennis bill provided for a forty
veal bond, optional for redemption in
ten years and bearing 6 per cent In
terest.
Since this measure has been voted
down it now seems that the only al
tentative is to Increase the tax levy
one mill, and on this subject 1t is
dificult to tell just how long the law.
makers may be tied up.
The senate passed the bill allow
ing a SIS, 900 fee for the attorneys en-
gagged to represent Mississippi before
the United States Supreme Court in
the boundary dispute between Mlssis,
sippi and Louisiana, and also $4,000 to
defray the incidental expenses of the
defense. The State will be represent;
ed by the Hon. Monroe McClurg, Of
Greenwood; Hon. Hannis Taylor, OF
Washington, and Dodds & Griffith. Of
Biloxi.
The vote whereby the bill carrying
an additional appropriation of $1O,-
900 for the Mississippi exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition was
defeated was r~econsidered and the bill
passed by a vote Of 20 to 8.

Coal Oil lnspection.

The efforts of the oil trust to de-
feat the coal oil inspection bill have
been very vigorous ever since the be-
ginning Of the session, but 1t now
looks very much like the bill Will
go through the house, and there are
some prospects of its passage in the
senate, providing its consideration BY
the committee is not delayed. The bill
was enacted by the house several days
ago, reconsidered, recommitted to the
judiciary committee, reported back by
that body in Its original form with
out any changes whatever, and is now
again before the house for passage.
The provisions of the bill have already
been published.

The Pike County Fiuht.

AS the fight for the new district
in Pike county has been made by Mr..
Nixon, a member Of the lower house
from that county, there Is some prob.
ability that the senate will suspend

pear before that body and champion
its measure. Pike has only n mem

STORM RIDDEN
VESSELS ARRIVE

FLYING before the storm the Amer
lean schooners James L. Tuft, Cap
tain Fridberg, and the w. H. Talbot,
Captain Bennecke, came into port yes
terday from Newcastle, both laden
with coal. The Tuft arrived at 1890
.. m. and berthed at the Irmgard
wharf, and the Talbot came into the
harbor at 2:30 p. m. and docked at
Railway wharf No. 2.
The Tuft has 1900 tons of coal con-
signed to W. G. irwin & Co. She was
81 DAYS on voyage which was de-
void of accidents. She had contrary
weather but met with no severe gales.
On approaching the island of Hawaii,
the vessel experienced a part of the
storm which has been sweeping over
the entire group for the past week.
The Talbot's captain says he met
with miserable weather throughout,
being sc days on the way When near
Tahiti he encountered the rainy season
which is sweeping over the Society
group. Gales and heavy squalls were
constantly experienced. Since last
Thursday he has been in the vicinity
of the Islands. On Friday while off
Molokai the Talbot struck very rough
weather and two of her sails We're
split.
The Talbot has 1860 tons of coal con-
signed to w. G.. Irwin.
The second mate was taken ashore
yesterday and sent to the Queens Hos
pital. He had just left a hospital in
Australia when he signed on the Tai
bot, but his old malady broke out on
the trip and he was constantly in
pain. He has rheumatism in the acute
stage. and his groans could be heard
about the ship yesterday.
Both captains are accompanied by
their wives.

SUPPLY SHIP MEN
HEAR WAR NEWS

War news was the prevailing topic
aboard the U. s. Naval Station Ship
Supply as the vessel entered the har-
Dor last night. Having been seventeen
days at sea the officers and crew We're
entirely ignorant of the Kaleidoscope
change of events taking place in the
Far East, and they We're surprised TO
learn that war was victories TO the
japanese.
The reporter who went out to the
vessel with files of the Advertiser, had
no difficulty in scattering the papers
all over the ship. The sailors whisked
them away instanter, and We're soon
absorbed in the news of the war. The
officers, at least those who We're not
engaged in bringing the vessel to her
anchorage, eagerly pored over the
dispatches, and quizzed the reporter
for detailed news of the various fights.
When told that the dispatches had
shown that torpedo boats had done the
work at the initial engagement at
Port Arthur one officer exclaimed:
"Well, that settles it,. Wen have to
begin building torpedo boats. They're
the boysI'
II > tIe QUICK, decisive dcl1On WHICH
counts in the beginning of struggle"
said another, land it generally Grip
pies. That's what I gain from a hasty
perusal of the dispatches"
The Advertisers summary Of the
weeks war news was thoroughly ap-
preciated as it gave the men an op-
portunity to size up the situation with
out going into a myriad of details.
Its very difficult. after being at
sea for half a month, to jump into the
the midst of exciting news like this
and be able to assimilate It properly.
This resume of the results is most
opportune," said another officer.
