EORTY-EOURTH DAY.

After debate lasting for the past
three days at intermittent periods, the
lower house last week finally passed
the bill authorizing telegraph and tel
ephone companies to exercise the
right of eminent domain. There was
very strong opposition to the bill,
many members believing that the
semi-private or Quasi-public corpora
tions should not thus have their lib
critics enlarged.
The appropriation bill for the In
dustrial Institute and College. carry
ing an appropriation of s159,54S.14 for
the biennial period, was passed Mr..
Patterson introduced bill prohibiting
the sale of tobacco 10 minors
The senate passed the general ap-
preparation bill to defray the current
expenses of the various departments
of State government for the next two
years. A measure was passed author
izing boards of supervisors to supple
ment the State pensions by making
payments to pensioners from county
funds.
Good-by to Peruna.
The senate today passed bin pro-
hibiting the sale of Peruna. Jamaica
ginger and all forms of intoxicating
bitters or remedies
The vote on the bill was % to IL,
and although a motion to reconsider
was entered, there is little hope of
accomplishing the defeat of the meas
uer when it is again called up on the
motion.
Much jocularity and good natured
jibing took place in across-the-aisle
conversation during the discussion OF
the bill. and also in open debate. One
member remarked that its passage
would be a direct insult to certain
eminent Mississippian now in private
life, whose picture frequently adorns
the Peruna advertisements in daily
and weekly newspapers. During the
discussion a few members asserted
that Peruna is really valuable medi-
cine. while others contended that If
persons want to drink whisky that
they should use good whisky and not
stuff that is doped up and sold under
the guise of proprietary medicine.
At any rate, If the bill passes the
house and receives the signature of
the governor, it is good-by to Peruna
and all similar drugs in Mississippi.
and there will be much weeping and
gnashing of teeth in the dry" towns,
where the local drug patent medicine
shelf is the popular resort of those
who love the cup that cheers. In
many of these towns honors are about
even between Peruna and Jamaica
ginger as the popular beverage. and
of late years certain kidney remedies
have entered into the lively competi-
ton. Alternated Indulgence in these
compounds is said to produce the flerc-
est sort of jag, having a duration
much longer than that acquired By the
use of the common intoxicants sold in
wet" communities, and with the sale
of these prohibited it verify seems that
the lot of the boozer jedeed becomes
ndfd one.

sketch of His Career.
The crime for which Darlington
must hang was the murder of his friend
and benefactor, James +. McCann, a
well-known horseman, who befriended
the bogus English lord after his release
from the workhouse and took him into
his family. The murder occurred near
Bonfils, st. Louis county, June IS, 1908.

turned to McCann's home in the city,
removed his bloody clothing, and is
said to have psid assiduous court to
McCanns widow until the body of the
murdered man was found ten days
later.
Darlington, who Is said to have q
record as an English crook, came to
st. Louis in December, 1902, and soon
sprung into notoriety. Representing
himself as an English lord, he became
acquainted with many prominent peo-
pie. and finally married Miss Grace
Wilhelmina Cochrane, of Kansas City,
who he evidently thought an heiress.
She thought him nobleman, and both
were deceived harrington was kicked
out of the house by Miss Cochrane's
brother, ard afterwards sent to the
workhouse for disturbing Cochrane's
peace. He was later pardoned by May
or Wells.
