Millinery Opening.

Beautiful millinery Rapid

Mrs. R. H. Hanilton's parlors
yesterday. Visitors who were as
late as IL O'Clock a. M, we're
painfully disappointed, finding
every lovely dress hat sold. The
day was a most gratifying one to
the managers and Mrs. Hamilton

Nhitworth Officials Purchase Port

Brookhayen, Miss, April Is.
Port Gibson Female College at
the end of this session will come
under the management of DR.. |.
w. Cooper, D. D., and Rev. III.
| G. Hawkins, who have made such
signal success in conducting the
affairs of Whitworth Female Col
lege at Brookhaven. The Board
| Of Trustees of Port Gibson Fe-
male College met yesterday morn
| ing and elected Rev. H. g. HaW-
kins as president, and DR.. Cooper
vice president. At the same time
the citizens of Port Gibson pIedg-
ed a fund which will secure an adj
dition to the property and repairs
valued at $1,000.
Both Whitworth College and
Polt Gibson College are the prop
erty of the Mississippi Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
| Church, South, and are old and
welI-estabIished schools. The
| former is valued at $50, 900, and
affords accommodations for 100
boarding pupils. The latter is
| valued at $35, 900, and accommo-
dates sixty boarders. Whitworth
| is in class A of the colleges of the
Methodist church, and her course
of study leading to the A. B. de-
gree ranks with those of the male
colleges. In future only one de-
gree will be conferred at Port
Gibson College mistress Of En-.
glish literature and graduates
from Port Gibson College will en-
ter the junior class at Whitworth.
The assumption of the manage
ment Of Port Gibson College by
DR.. Cooper and Rev. Hawkins
does not mean any diminution of
their interest in Whitworth Col
lege. Both will retain their class
| es here, but will give a portion of
their time to the Port Gibson
school. Lady managers will be
chosen for both schools, and Port
Gibson College will have also a
lady principal. A portion of the
present faculty of Whitworth will
be transferred to Port Gibson.

state Regulation of Insurance.

From several western states come
suggestive intimations that stringent
restrictive measures aimed at certain
New York life insurance companies are
in contemplation. The insurance Off
Gals of at least two states talk of bar
ring one of the New York concerns
from doing business in those common
Wealths so long as it retains its pres
ent management. Should two or three
states set the example by revOking the
insurance companies licenses or char
ters, it is by no means improbable that
there would arise d popular demand
for similar action in many parts Of
the union.
The insurance companies have
brought this trouble on themselves.
Their acknowledgement of the trust
funds in their keeping has laid them
open to attack and furnished an incen-
tive for the adoption of restrictive
measures. With the investigating COM
mittee bringing fresh scandals to light
every day the companies are scarcely
in a position to oppose such action IN
a vav to make their opposition eff
fective Granting this. it is easy to see
that the new line of activity which
some state officials and state legisla-
lures are contemplating might lead to
conditions menacing alike to the com
panies, to their policyholders and to the
general public. President Mccall N
his testimony yesterday. pointed to one
form which this warfare might take.
! officials have had to protect them
selves against the sinister activities OF
corrupt men in various legislatures
The fear of hostile legislation intro
duced with Interior motives cannot be
| accepted as condoning what the com
panies have done in the way OF PA
! eating legislatures by dubious means,
/ but it doubtless gives them a strong
/ incentive to such action. If black
| mailers preyed upon them heretofore
what they are likely to do now with
/ the opportunities opened up to them
! by recent developments can only be
coniectured. The whole situation
points again to the fact that the way
/ to fun protection lies through placing
/ the Insurance business under federal
supervision. Let the government pro-
vide such measures as viii compel

part of the companies and the latter no

vidual states might then pc exercised

ALICE RoosEvETlT.

Some people are inclined to make a
great fuss about Alice Roosevelt be-
cause of the stories that get into the
newspapers about her. Very undig-
niied criticisms are frequently made
Of her alleged conduct, but if the
critics of Miss Roosevelt will stop and
think a moment they win realize that
their criticisms are uncalled for.
Miss Roosevelt is very likely only a
whole-souIed. enthusiastic, real Amer
lean girl, a true Rooseveltian daugh-
ter. It must be remembered that most
of the newspaper stories about her are
probably more OF less exaggerated.
Correspondents are always on the
lookout for good stories" and any
thing about the presidents daughter
makes a good story. particularly if it
can be made to appear out of the
ordinary.
AS the daughter of the president of
the greatest nation on earth, Miss
Roosevelt occupies a very trying posi-
ton. The eyes Of the nation are upon
her all the tfne-through the ever
watchful correspondents. Everything
she does is watched. What girl would
be freer from criticism under similar
circumstances
Miss Roosevelt is on a par with the
/ highest princess in a foreign land, but
in monarchy the royal family is al
ways hedged about with guards and
knowledge of their private acts is
carefully kept from the public. They
are not subject to criticism in the
press. The reverse is true in America.
Besides that the daughter of the presi-
dent is undoubtedly petted and praised
to an extraordinary degree, and re-
| Gently she has been the recipient Of
great attention from crowned heads in
foreign lands. It takes a remarka bly,
sensible girl to Withstand that sort OF
thing. but Miss Roosevelt seems to

States really have great reason to be
proud of her

SOME COUNTY OFFTCERs.

Among the Kansas county officials
who seem to be extremely worthy Of
high commentator, a trio in Mont
gomery county stand well up towards
the top. Perhaps the most conspic-
uous in the trio is Thomas z. Wag-
staff, the young county attorney. It
has not been very long since Mr.. Wag-
stair graduated from the law depart
ment Of the state university. He went
down to Coffeyville and made a place
for himself among the lawyers of that
growing city. Last year he was elect
ed county attorney. He was imbued
with the idea, that some county at
torneys cannot grasp, that he was
elected to enforce all the laws, and he
has been doing It.
Now it is no particularly easy job
to enforce the law in Montgomery
county. Within its boundaries are
four cities of the second class, two OF
them almost large enough to be first
class cities. Bordering on the Indian
Territory, in years gone by the popu-
lation has been somewhat mixed with
the class that made the famous raid
on Coffeyville some years ago. The
oil excitement of the last two years
has brought n a LlAAEQ Grass OL BtO-
ple from other states, so that alto
gether the rigid enforcement Of law in
Montgomery county, with its nearly
$4,000 inhabitants, has been no easy
task.
But young Mr. Wagstan has made
a scattering among the ranks Of the
evil-doers. Joints have hourished IN
disturbed in some of the towns for
years. but he has gone after them in
way that meant business. and from
the counts that he has piled VI
against them the school fund is likely
to receive a large amount in fines ano
the wrong-doers will spend long terms
/ behind the bars.
Behind Mr.. Wagstaff has stood
Sheriff Andy Pruitts an officer who has
made a reputation for his persistence
in doing what he thought was hi
duty. No matter what species Of law.
