RADIUM ROULETTE.
Game That Is Played in the
Dark Amid CHASTITY Silence.

Radium roulette is the latest rage
among sporty folk, says the New York
Journal The idea was imported to
New York from Paris recently, and the
man who brought it to New York, a
guest of a well known uptown hotel,
said that it has proved the biggest
winner in the way of an innovation
that New York has known in years.
Radium roulette is ordinary roulette,
except that the apparatus is washed in
a radium solution, and the game is
played in a room in which there is
not a ray of light.
In the midst Of the darkness the
wheel shines brightly, and rays shoot
out and are lost in darkness. An I'M
seen hand casts the silvery ball on the
wheel, and as the wheel turns it re-
sembles a mass of molten silver. Tiny
sparks mark the course of the ball as 1t
bounds round and round and finally
splashes into one of the glimmering
pockets.
The players have luminous chips,
and the unseen croupier rakes them in
or hands them out All during the
play there is the most CHASTITY silence.
No player speaks-that is a part Of
the game. Ennuied Paris has found a
thrill in it that has excited the blase
rounder, and in New York city it is
expected that similar result will fol-

Brief Chronicle of ALI Important Happenings
Protest Raising Assessment.

The Gulf and Ship Island Railroad
Company has filed with the secretary
of the Railroad Commission protest
against the recent action of the com
mission in raising the assessment Of
its property. The commission in
creased the assessment of this road on
its main line from $500 to $4,000 a
mile; the sidings from $3.50 to $2250,
and the branch lines from $4,000 to
$4,000. This is the only protest against
the assessments filed up to date. The
protest recites that the main line and
branches of this road are comparative
ly new, requiring heavy expenditures
annually to keep them in condition;
that the greater part of the territory
trayersed is comparatively unproduc-
tives that on the forty-eight miles of
the Columbia branch there are no
towns of consequence between Make
and Columbia except Lumberton; that
on the forty-one miles of the Laurel
branch there are mo towns of conse-
quence between Saratoga and Laurel
except Taylorsyille, and that on the
ten miles of the Silver Creek branch
there is only the town of Pinola. The
company says it is spending hundreds
Of thousands of dollars annually be-
tween jackson and Gulfport on the
main line in improvements, and that
it has spentsa million and half in

Little Blind Deaf Mutes.


The State Deaf'and Dumb Institute
here has under its care two little blind
deaf mutes, both girls. aged respec-
ively eight and eleven years. These
are the first blind mutes that the insti-
tntiont has ever undertaken to train
and the result is being watched with
the greatest interest by the officials.
When the children came here short
time since they were utterly helpless
and had no use of their limbs, not
from any nervous or muscular affec-
tion, but simply because they had no
ideas beyond eating and sleeping. Nei-
ther child had verswalked, and they
spent their days lying on the floor
aimlessly cropping ABOUT. How toawak-
en- their benighted minds and gradual
ly bring them ipto communication
with the world was a most stupendous
undertaking, but the task is being per-
formed as hopeless as it seemed at
first, in remarkably successful man
ner They are rapidly learning words
and getting ideas; and the institute
officials spare no pains to develop
them, and are extremely. gratifed with
the progress of the little ones.

out its purpose by gift of $4,000

HAND TO HAND FIGHT
Occurs Between the Strikers and the
oficers at Saint Paul.

st. Paul. The first clash between
the sheriff S forces and the strikers OF
Swift & Cempany's plant at South
st. Paul occurred Saturday when a
spirited and partly successful effort
was made by the company, assisted by
Sheriff Grisim and deputies to force
about twenty-five men through big
crowd of strikers who were congre-
gated about the entrance to the pack
ing house. yards. A severe hand-to
hand encounter ensued, and several on
both sides were bruised. J. X. Banks,
marshal of the striking pickets, was
arrested and fined $25. Manager Tuf-
fle, of the Inneapolis branch Of Swift
& Company, who was with the invad-
ers, was pounded by Banks, who
threw Tufle down.
After the fight was over Sheriff
Grisim called the strike leaders and
pickets together and said:
ga state of riot exists. If you want
another sheriff here, keep this up. To

State Revenue Agent Adams is
meeting with some opposition from
many of the foreign corporations do
ing business in Mississippi in viola
tion Of the law which requires them
to file certified copies of their charters
with the Secretary Of State. In sew
eral instances the concern, while ad-
mitting their liability to pay the fee
and the fine of $100, nevertheless de-
cline to pay, on the ground that they
have no property in the State which
can be subjected tozpayment of the
penalty, and they are, not disposed to
believe that the statdta. necessarily de-
prives them of he right to sue on con-
tracts made in default of payment.

SLM CHANCE
TO END STRIKE
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN PACK
ERS AND BUTCHERS OFF.
HITCH ON ONE POINT
Union Officials Insist that ALI Strik-
ers be Taken Back and Given Their
Old Places But, the Employers VIII
Not Agree.


Chicago-All chance of peace in the
packers strike has vanished, for the
time being at least. The end of the
negotiations came late Saturday after
a conference which had lasted nearly
all of the afternoon between the Off
cials of the strikers and several pack
ers.
The final break resulted when the
union officials insisted that all the men
who had gone out on strike be taken
back and given their old places. The
packers declared that this would ne
cessitate the discharge of all the men
they had employed since the COM
mencement of the strike and that they
could not and would not consider it.
The conference then broke up and the
strike will continue. -.
The question of arbitration was first
taken UP, and after prolonged dis
cussion the representatives Of the un-
ions agreed to waive the ground they
had taken when they insisted that the
arbitration, should s.c0nsider onlY:.an
advance ins Wages and that the scale
paid prior to May % should be paid
pending the decision of the arbitra-
ion. They agreed to accept the de-
mand of the packers that the decision
of the arbitrators should cover the en-
tire scope of the strike and its causes.
The question of taking back the men
who had gone out on strike was then
considered. Mr.. Donnelley insisted
that all the men should be taken back
pending the arbitration. The packers
insisted upon their declaration that the
men would be taken back in the order
in which applied for work and as
many of them would be given places
as the packers could find room for.
The packers declared that they
would not discharge the men they had
employed, but would take back as
many of the strikers as were necessary
to operate the plants in addition to the
men employed since the commence
ment Of the trouble.
Mr.. Donnelly asked that the pack
ers agree to reinstate the old men with
in a week and the packers refused.
They then asked if they would set a
time when they would take back the
old men. To this the packers replied
that they would take back as many as
they had room for in the order of their
applications for work. This final an
swer broke off the negotiations and the
representatives of the unions left the
meeting.
A danger that confronts the strik-
ers became apparent when they learn
ed that over 200 Polish butchers have
deserted them since the strike began.
This fact did not become known until
Saturday when every local union held
meetings and punched the strike tick
cts Of members. These tickets must
be turned in every day in order that
the leaders may know that the mem
bers are not at work. After the un-
ions had met today large number of
Polish butchers were discovered miss
ing. Investigation revealed the fact
that they had returned to work.

Damage From Storms.

The latest reports from representa-
tive cotton. regions in central Missis-

violent rain storms of last week was
greater than at first believed. Many
acres of cotton on the hillsides were
washed so badly that the crop pros
poets were utterly destroyed, and it is
now, of course, too late for replanting.

the water company amount to about
$4,000 a year. Each consumer in the

skipped, it is believed that a majority
of them were seen.
