London Startled by The Exposure.

New York. The Journal has the
following cable from London
Discovery has been made of an en-
settlement of $5,OO0,O00 by trust
ed employee Of the London house of
The Rothschilds. This is at once the
most stupendous embezzlement in
criminal annals and the first in histo-
~ that the Rothschilds have suffered
through the wrongdoing Of an employee
Moses Blumenthal, head of the bull
aon department Of the famous family
pf money lenders, is the man charg-
ed with the embezzlement. He had
carte blanche to use the firm s name,
and quite by accident it has been
earned that for a period, the full
sength of which has not been learn
ed, ne has been adulterating bullion
entrusted to his care and sinking the
proceeds in speculation. The extent
of the man s dealings may be mag
nged from the fact that the deficit
is equal to q, $50 troy pounds of gold.
From this the Scotland Yard officers
argue that that Blumenthal IS specu-
aations must have covered period of
Eve and perhaps ten years. Charac-
.eristically, the Rothschilds have quiz
city assumed the loss of $1,250,000
sustained by them directly, while the
disposition of the balance, which had
been deposited by clients at the smell
sery of which Blumenthal was the
directing head, is not yet settled.
Biumenthal, it is said,, has fed to
New York, but, it being against the
policy of the house to prosecute, no
effort will be made to apprehend him.
To protect its good name, the house
has even settled Blumenthal s brok-
erage accounts, though not legally res
ponsible for them, and finally the
Hmeltery has been abruptly closed. So
quietly has the whole affair been clos
ed up that London only knows Of the
enormous crime through talk in the
city, the London papers having stu
3iously avoided all reference to it. A
curious feature Of the affair is that
The Rothschilds hald the monetary loss
light, as compared with the breach of
faith Of trusted employe lBlumen-
hal was protege Of the Rothschilds,
having been taken into the employee Of
The house as poor boy, and been ad-
yaneed to his commanding position.
Another important feature is the
far-reaching effect which Blumen-
shal's methods have oa the money
market.
Blumenthal was a man Of imposing
manners, irreproachable habits and a
Squire Of considerable Importance in
The London financial world. The
Rothschilds confidence in Blumenthal,
who was at the head Of this smeltery
was such that only the most perfume
tory care was exercised in examining
his accounts, and no care at all was ex-
ercised in supervising his work in
The smeltery.

The Con and Cotton Carnival to be
held In jackson for December 10Th to
18th has grown beyond the cxpccta-
lions OF the most enthusiastic friends.
1t seems that the good people of Mis-
sissippi are ripe for such an exhibit,
and great interest is being manifest
ed everywhere. From Tippah coun-
ty on the Moth to Harrison on the
the South the exhibits are coming.
Every section Of the state will be rep
resented by display of larger or less
dimension. The railroads have taken
great interest and several Of them
will have large exhibits. Arate of
one fare for the round trip has been
made from every station in the state,
tickets on sale from the 18th to 10th
and good to return until 18th. This
rate will afford splendid opportu-
nifty for the people from all over the
state, who have not hitherto done so,
to visit the state capital, see the new
caplOl building and other state lnstl-
buttons as well as attend the Carni-
val. There will be plenty of amuse-
ment for those who desire it, two
bands will give concerts daily, there
will be fire works at night, and great
many special features on every day.
1t is good idea 70 our people to
mix and mingle with each other more.
1t broadens the mind and is benefit
in more ways than one. Too many
communities in the state do not know
what is being done in the next COM
munity. Some sections Of the state
are exceptionally prosperous while
others with the same advantages, ae
very poor. Find out the good that is
being accomplished by your neighbor
and go and do likewise. Too few Of
our people realize the great resources
Of our state and the wonderful future
before it.

The good people of Crystal Springs
are thoroughly alive and wide-awake.
AS an evidence of the truthfulness Of
this statement can be noted the
splendid display Of farm and dairy
products made on the 21st for the ben
eft Of the home-seekers excursion. The
writer had the privilege Of spending
a short time there and was greatly
impressed with the alertness Of the
citizens of that enterprising communi-
ity. The long fruit shed at the depot
had been transformed into a regular
fair with magnificent display of ev-
cry product of the section. Corn, cot
ton, potatoes, turnips, hay, sugar cane,
peas, live stock and a display Of flow
srs that would have done any place
proud. All these articles were Of
enormous size and quality. There
were fat pigs, large chickens, great
turkeys and every domestic fowl.
Plates Of butter that would tempt the
appetite Of confirmed dyspeptic.
Sweet potatoes that few would make
a bushel. Second crop Of Irish pota-
toes that could be excelled nowhere.
Chrysanthemums and beautiful roses
as large as saucers. To tell the truth,
Crystal Springs did herself proud and
it was the verdict Of all visitors who
saw the display that the community
was call right A large display of
these poducts will made at the Carni-
val in December at jackson. and 9TH
er places expecting to compete with
them had better begin hustling right
now and keep it up until the last min
ute has expired.

Work of grading the road from
Brookhaven to Monticello has been
completed and train service will be
inaugurated shortly. Another link
has been established in the chain of
railroads that will soon connect every
section of the great state Of Missis-
sippi and bring into accessibility the
products thereof. Over twohundred
miles of road has been constructed in
the state during the past year and the
next will likely exceed that amount
by nearly doubling it. Capitalists and
railroad promoters are beginning to
realize the value Of investments in
the state.

and in a short while will be running

The M. & O., has branch line through
