The late Hon. Charles WI Slack
told the following Of The Hon.
Peter Harvey, the friend and
biographer Of Daniel Webster:
Mr.. Harvey was a large man
with small voice and that POM
posity Of manner that many diff
dent men possess. Above every
thing lie valued and prided him-
self upon bis friendship with the
great expounder.
The first year of the war Of
the rebellion he went To Washing
ton, and oh bis return was asked
how he liked President Lincoln.
Well, he said, Mi. Lincoln
lis d singular man. / went to see
him, and told him i had been an
intimate personal friend of Daniel
Webster; that I had talked with
him SO much On the affairs Of the
country that / felt perfectly conf
dent / could tell him exactly what
Mr.. Webster would advise 10 the
present crisis, and thereupon talk
ed with Lincoln for two solid
hours, telling him what be should
do and what he should not do:

Diversifcation Of crops is the on

Mississippi Chess Association, an
nounces chat the annual meeting
will be held at Castalian Springs,
near Durant, beginning Tuesday,
July 18th. All players in the
State who are not members are in
Vited to join the Association and
may enter the tournament if pres
ent on the opening morning. The
annual tournament attracts the
strongest players ia the State, and
the contests for the championship
are truly battles royal. Many un-
practiced players also attend. In
addition to holding the State
championship and becoming pres
ident of the Chess Association,
the winner Of the tourney is made,
for one year, custodian of the
massive silver trophy cup Of the
Association.
No meeting has yet been held as
| far north as Castalian Springs,
and the selection of that place will
doubtless induce the enlistment of
a number of doughty knights
from Sardis, GreenyilIe, Oxford,
Winona, Holly Springs and many
other North Mississippi towns
which are known to have strong
players. President Hill, who
halls from Cleveland, is exerting
himself to make the coming meet
ing memorable. He has closed a
contract with the worlds cham
pion, DIR. Emanuel Lasker, to
spend the week of the Association
meeting at Castalian Springs lee
turing on the game of chess, Civ
ling peripatetic and blindfold
exhibitions and single and consul
Itation games. He has also ar
ranged a teIegraphic match with
1.-THE strong Memphis Chess Club.
The teams will probably consist
Of ten or more players each and
! the moves in the game will be
transmitted by telegraph. DR..
Lasker will be asked to serve as
referee and adiudieator Of unfin-
ished games. AT previous meet
| lings Of the Association, the New
! Orleans Chess, Checkers and
Whist Club has sent team to
contest over the board with the
Mississippians. It is expected
lthat this over-the- board match.
ANNUALLY played, will be played a
| few weeks later in New Orleans
land that as many as fifteen Of Mis-
Isissippi's gallant knights will take
part In the contest.
For this meeting Of the Chess
Association the railroads have
made a special one and one-third
rate. Tickets should be purchas-
led direct to Castalian Springs to
| get the benefit Of the reduction.
The proprietors Of Castalian.
Springs have made special rate
| for chess members and are maxi
! ing all necessary arrangements
for thier comfort and pleasure.

The supreme court has decided that river cannot draw q map. The ac- ton arose from a question whether the shallow upper Missouri, by chang ing it's bed. could transfer q number of citizens from Nebraska to Missouri. It cannot. The boundary follows the old channel. This question. says the New York World. doesn't matter so much with states in the same unon-- though q man hardly likes to go sto sleep in one state and wake LID with his farm in another. But along the Rio Grande. between Mexico and the United States. the shifting of the riv. CT channel might make trouble. Re gently the stream got on the northern side of several thousand Texans, who would have objected to heinz made MeXicans thereby. But the United States and Mexico always maintain the old boundary, whatever the river may do. If rivers could make maps there might he trouble almost any time between Argentina and Para. quay. or between Bavaria and Austria not to mention other cases.

 LANCASTER. Pa. Feb. 3.-A quiet run on the Lancaster Trust company, which has been under way ever since the collapse of the City Trust compa- ny ten days ago. culminated in a wild rush of depositors to withdraw their money. The bank met every demand and kept their doors open until nearly 6 o'clock yesterday, several hours long.

 President John Hertzler said: "Thc run on the Lancaster Trust company is the result of false and absolutely sroundiess rumors and the shaking of confidence by the recent failure of the City Trust company. The institution is as solid as Gibraltar. and we will pay a dollar for every dollar deposited with us"

At fire fin Hartford the other day the department was unable to move it's fire apparatus owing to the condi- tion of the streets. Speaking about it the COurant says: Even teams of horses were unable to pull propellers through the streets in the center of this city to fire last night-a fire that might have proved disastrous. That tells the story. The streets should no longer remain covered with a foot of frozen snow. ridged with htfmmocks and guttered Into holes. The crosswalks should not be allowed to continue ankle deep in slush and mire. This is no rubber boots town. Clean the streets.' Let Waterbury take warning and not be caught as Hartford was. This is no rubber boots town. either, although it wasn't safe to try to walk far without them the past eight or ten days. Clean the streets, say all of us.

Czar Sanctions Proposals ot

LAWS TO CHECK EVIL OFFICIALS.
Warsaw Still In State of Siege. Maxim Gorlky Reported Free-Ru-
 mors of Mngna Charta Signed
 by the Emperor. s.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 3. - The
 committee of ministers, sitting at St.
 Petersburg, has formulated and the
 emperor has sanctioned q number of
 proposals looking toward the estab-
 lishment of the senate upon basis of closer connection with the throne. doing
 away with the administrative orders,
 suspending certain laws and in other
 ways checking the evils that have i arisen through the arbitrary acts of
 ministers or officials. The report that
 Maxim Gorky has been released is diff
 ficult of verificatiol. If the rumor Is true the author has probably been re- ! Quested to leave St. Petersburg i'm.
 mediateIy.
 The pupils of many public and pri-
 vate schools at Warsaw have decided
 to demand the introduction of the Pol.
 ish language or otherwise they will not return to school. This is significant
 as indicating the introduction of the
 Nationalist movement into the econom.
 ic agitation.
 Serious disturbances are reported at
 Cracow. Last night thousands of workmen gathered at the monument of
 the poet Wicziewicz, where Deputy
 Daszinski, the leader of the Galician
 Socialists, made a speech denouncing the emperor of Russia. whose portrait
 was torn amid shouts of vengeance. i The police dispersed the demonstration. Fifteen persons were seriously wound. ed. and many were arrested.
 The city of Warsaw is still in a state of siege the factory districts strongly guarded by troops. and Socialist dis turbances are feared, the police having made preparations to put down riot ing. From the police station in one district in Warsaw alone the bodies of fifty men and women have been taken to cemeteries. and many more bodies are unidentified.
 In Batum, CaucaSia. the strike which started there is becoming gen. eral. Mobs are crowding the streets. the quays and docks are deserted. and the military are patrolling the town. That the czar has already signed a document SO sweeping in its scope as to
 be termed the Magma Charta of Rus sia is a rumor current at the capital,
 but which is uncontirmed. It is per. sistently stated. however. that Elm peror Nicholas has made important concessions. Another report is that prisoners In the fortress are to be re-
 leased and the press permitted free dom of utterance
 It is also rumored that General Ire
 poff will soon be removed from com
 mand in St. Petersburg and sent to the front and that M. witte. if he is appointed minister of the interior, as expected. will inaugurate a new era in Russia.
 X telegram from CZentochow, Rus.
 sian Poland. says all the factories there are closed. and serious disturbances arc reported to have occurred. The Socialists are very strong there. The Warsaw-yienna railroad shops are closed. At Pruszkow 200 men struck. All the factories arc closed at kalisz. The strike at Lodz continues.

The day when farmers ridiculed book-farming in now past. The agri- cultural experiment. stations have made so-caled book-farming popular. Fact has taken the place of theory, and the progressive farmers of the present day eagerly peruse the bull ietins from their respective state ex- pertinent stations and the farmers bulletins that are issued by the United States department of agriculture. With the most wonderful strides made in every calling during the last ? years agriculture has kept pace The evolution in farming methods and i'm plements can hardly be understood by the present generation. says an ex- change. It requires a knowledge of the old-time methods to make the comparison. Years ago when some of the labor-saving agricultural imple- ments were invented they were de- cried by the farmers as being quite unnecessary, etc. To-day, with Steam blows, and, in fact, nearly all farming operations being performed by labor saving machines, it is very difficult even with their use, requiring so few hands, 10 secure enough laboring men to save the crops during the critical stage of harvest time. At all busy seasons the farmers, especially those located near large cities and towns, complain of the scarcity of help. Were it not for these very same labor. saving machines and the practical lessons and valuable information fur. nished to the farmers from the experi- ment stations the situation would Dor der on the critical. The successful farmer of to-day Is in sense a scien- tific farmer. He does not follow the obsolete methods of his ancestors. If he is in doubt about any of his farm work, he asks questions.

I he president has selected Robert Watchorn, Pittsburg labor leader. for the vacant post of commissioner Of immigration. He Is democrat, but has been an immigrant inspector since the Cleveland administration The appointment, therefore, is q pro- motion within the ranks of the service. Besides being based on the merit prin- ciple, it is very gratifying to labor organizations. Nevertheless, it is said, Senators Penrose and Knox are trying to hold up the nomination. Such q course might be expected of Penrose. but Senator Knox is in q new attitude when he stoops to small politics, says a Buffalo paper.

She said George was always a good boy. and I felt dTeadfuIly bad when first found out thst he had been betting money on horse races. I did all in my power to persuade him fo give it up. but he insisted that he could play the races and be gentleman as well and asked me to trust in his judgment and see if he was not right. He was right: indeed he was. George was not a gambler in the way the average per son applies the term. He simply re- duced horse racing to e business and followed his chosen profession

Concerning the evils of our ciyiliza ton some write that inattention to sanitary rules of eating and housing causes vast number of needless deaths and intlicts untold suffering on inc poor. Others assert that alcohol is n fearful engine of mortality. and there are statisticians busted with the destructiveness of railways. impure water supplies md other things which are usually all ascribed to the heed. lcssness of money getting and money spending. Then some thoughtless ones. remarks the Kansas City Star, do some figuring" as they would be- lleve. and get the astonishing result that if all that the writers declare is true. q good many more persons die of these various causes than ever were born. This paradox comforts those let alone. and those who point the dangers are regarded hy them as borcs if noth- ing worse. They do not see that sev- eral of the causes enumerated may frequently contribute to the same deaths and that these are reasonably claimed as the cause by each special investigator. And even if the enthus- lasts for better standard of living would seem to obliterate death and misery by their theories. would it not be q good thing if those of us who re- aliZe-or think we do-that death and wretchedness must always he, would strive with them to make death less imminent and take the fact of suffer- ing in the world little less for grant cd.
