terrible punishment given him few

on the contrary, put up the hardest

Corbett gave him a left arm jolt that

In the sixth round Corbett gave Hanlon

Bonaparte Dazed Reformers.

Politicians of all shades in Baltimore,
including reformers, are much sur.
prised at Mr.. Bonaparte's acceptance Of
the Office of Secretary of the Navy.
Many of them make six months the
limit of his holding Office. Roger W.
Gull, co-worker with Mr.. Bonaparte in
the Reform League, said: "The APP
pOintment will be a delight to every
one possessing a sense Of humor. 1t is
touch of the Rooseveltian nature
which will make the whole world grin.
Both the President and Mr.. Bonaparte
are imperialists, which, in connection
with the navy, may be said to be of the
first water. The President, however,
will likely find in Mr.. Bonaparte GER
tain unavoidable qualities which may
lead to friction between them, as it is
certain to produce friction with the
politicians.

A MAN in Chattanooga was recently
fined $50 for snoring in church, the
magistrate having held that the act con-
stituted a breach of the peace. The
man was arrested on the charge of the
pastor, who testified that the noise dis
turbed the congregation. If fines for
such ofienses were made general and the
money turned into the church Golfers,
many church festivals might be dis

Burning of a Theater.

One of the most exciting and specta-
cular fires that has visited Pittsburg,
Pa, in recent years. broke out in the
Avenue Theater shortly before O'Clock
yesterday afternoon and before it was
subdued hnd completely destroyed the
Avenue Theater and partially wrecked
the Grand Opera House adjoining, but
fortunately no panic resulted and no
lives were lost. The loss will reach
$3.50, 600, fully insured. The cause of
the fire is believed to be traceable to
crossed electric wires. The Avenue
Theater was probably the oldes. show
house in Pittsburg, and recently had been
used for vaudeville. The house was
about half filled, but through the prompt
and systematic work of the employees
the audience was gotten out without
the semblance of a panic; indeed, the
majority did not know there was a
fire until they bad reached the street.
Several women tainted when they came To
realize what might have happened. The
Avenue Theater building was erected in
the sos, and was valued $75, 600. 1t
is completely ruined. The damage to
the Grand Opera House, which was
caused mostly by water, will represent
probably 1926, 900.

Captain Elliott Passes Away

When the dreaded reaper carried
away on Saturday evening last, the
soul Of Capt. q. 8. Elliott, another Of
Okolona's most highly esteemed, be-
loved citizens, known to every one for
more than quarter of a century, was
removed from our midst.
Though the sad parting had been
looked for many months, the announce
I ment OF the dissolution when II came
was made none the less heavy, and
pain and regret was imprinted upon
every face as the intelligence went
speeding throughout the community.
Captain Elliott could well be classed
as one of Gods noblemen. His heart
was as big as his head, and his ear was
ever alert to hear the woes of others
that his hand might be extended to
alleviate suffering and his hand out
stretched to lift up and assist those
who were tottering under too heavy a
load.
He was to Okolona, from his earliest
manhood, steady and safe counsellor
in all its efforts to progress and to en-
dure. No more public spirited man
ever resided here, and was ever as
ready with his purse as with his voice
and hands, to aid in any move for the
public good.
Until three years ago, when he re.
tired from active life, because of i'll
health, he was conspicuous among all
the prominent men who have ever
been Unidentified with the city.
Captain Elliott was born in FEEDER
icksburg. Virginia, October 2lst, 1888,
hence was near the 81 mark at his de-
mise. He was educated at the Uni
versity Of Virginia, and early in life
began an active and aggressive bust
mess career in Charlottesville, Va.
Honest, industrious, full of energy and
determination, he soon gained the
confidence and esteem Of his employ
ers and at an early age was offered O
partnership in the firm he had so faith
fully served. This, however be de-
clined. having decided to cast his lot
with the rapidly growing city Of Mem
phis, where he resided until the Civil
War came on and he enlisted in Co. T.,
4th Tennessee regiment. in April 1861,
and served throughout, the war, the
last two years Is q captain under For
rest.
After the war had ended bio came to
OkolOna, whom he was married TO Miss
Henrietta Scott Morton, also native
Of Virginia, st Petersburg,
During HE lingering illness this
charming companion has been his
boon and consolation, being ever az
his side. How he endured the awful
suffering Of the past year, without
complaint or trown has been mystery
TO al who have Geen him and when
the parting came he was even cheerful
to the last.
The precious remains were followed

course that has paid the lasB rad rites
