TREE PLANTING

The handsome building OF the Kings
Daughters is almost completed, and is Of the
most distinguished ornaments of the city. 1t
somewhat captions to suggest improvement, yet
doubt the ladies themselves will agree that the
suggestion is a good one, and have probably al
ready decided upon it. 1t is the planting of trees
to beautfy the property and add to its value. In
the hands OF the Kings Daughters there is no
doubt that everything possible will be done to or
nament their spacious grounds and add to the at
Effectiveness Of their Home.
It with diffidence that such suggestion Is
made all complete is public confidence in
the managers OF the institution and their good
judgment. But the Kings Daughters Home is but
one OF many public places in which the planting
Of trees is not only Of good taste and
sound Judgment, but wise economic movement
Tht efforts OF superintendent Bass, Of the pub
lie schools, in this direction have been untirng. and
the results where the depredations of stray stock
have allowed the grow, is the best possible
argument in their favor. Too often, though. his
work has been wantonly destroyed and brought to
nothing even when he himself had paid for boxes
and with his hands helped to put the trees in
the ground. Often boxes have been deliberately
torn down and carried off for irewood, and the
young trees gnawed by stock and wilfully broken
by boys. This is notably the case in the great
grounds of the Court School, square block in ex-
tent, and which could easily be made one OF the
most beautiful spots in the city The grounds
of the colored Nelson school, ALSO could be
greatly beautifed by some of quick growing ma
tive forest trees.
| There is worthy movement foot to make a
park of the river front, but park without is
| nonsense. and the planting of costs money
more than the society interested in the Levee park
can expend. 4 plantation of cottonwood trees on
this space would cost but little, and in few years
would give quicker and better return than almost
any other expenditure would do All that is ueces
Isary put the young into holes, and they
will grow and prosper absolutely without attention
Zone OF the best known business men in the city has
voluntarily offered contribute FIVE dollars this
/ purpose, and is probable that many others woulc

sums for public work which is manifestly
| good Let the Sunshine Society go to work
They have public approval and help at their backs.

Japanese managers of the enterprise now ar

Statistics ON the subject of divorce in the United

question; but the comment is no longer on the caus-

those OF many thousands. Perhaps the most start
ling fact of all is that the evil is regarded and justly

The population OF the United States is about fiji

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.

The in the Equitable Life Insurance company
has been settled arranged or compromised, eav-
ing matters much in quo. At first it appeared
if the upheaval in the great association would
have effects which would reach to the end OF all its
listed more in hte minds Of New York newspaper
writers than in the yitas Of the Equitable.
The origin Of the trouble seemed to be grave
disagreements between factions led on one side
by President Alexander and on the other by Vice
President Jas. T Hyde, son Of the founder who.
It claimed, and apparently with justice was
cndangering the interests of the company by the
rccklessncss OF his private business acts Young Mr.
Hyde appears to be "A man of exaggerated fashion
as well as would-bc-dnaucicr. The two occupations
do agree, and the directors of the Equitable be
came seriously afraid that under Mr. Hyde's steer

VICKSBUURG'S OK

There has been no question of Mr.. Longnos de-
Sire for the appointment to a Federal judgeship,

Greenvile as its central point Mr.. Longino would

THE TIGER OF THE EAST

When the Russo japanese war broke the
usual sentiment in this part of America was one of
sympathy and pity for the smaller nation 1t seemed
that there could be but outcome to such strug
gle-a short desperate fight for self representation,
after which the Island Kingdom, with its pretty toy
civilization, would be crushed beneath the avalanche
of Russian power, and would become in time mere
appanage of the northern tyranny of knout and
cannon.
We have lived for year in the midst of history.
We have all predictions set at naught, and per-
haps witnessed the beginning OF one of the epoehs
of time
The Japanese device OF the Rising Sun is prophet
ic A and possibly mghtier England has
arisen in the East. With the worlds greatest
lighting nation prone before its feet, and the I'M
counted millions OF China looking to it for protec-
ton and guidance, ii is too much to expect that
in the lifetime of those now living an Oriental en-
pire will overbalance the ong-enjoyed supremacy OF
the West and the story OF Persia and Greece and
Rome and Charlemagne be told again.

IN MEMORIAM.

Among the premature deaths that
have shocked and grieved this COM
munity was that of Meredith D. Ever

year was a source OF great solicitude
to the family and every effort was
made to restore him that change OF
climate and travel could effect. He

He died processing hope of saliva

of his own state. lie possessed strong
natural abilities, quick perception, de

To those who loved him so tend

to comfort. For the terrible pain OF
death there is no balm save that
which lies in the healing hand OF

Our hearts go out to them in deep

GIVE THEM A BUSINESS EDUCATION

We believe that bookkeeping and stenography
should be taught the higher grades in every pub
lie school in the state. Today it is necessary
in business life than music or art to which much at
tention is given. A large proportion of boys
and girls who graduate from the public schools of
the state the and daughters of poor parents
and there their education stops and their business
life begins. With the qualifications of a book
keeper stenographer they would at once com
mand good salary while with the common school
education they would have start in the bottom
and work their way up take. part OF their salary
each month, put it away until enough is raised to
send them to business college and acquire that
part of business mans business woman's edu-
cation which should be had while attending the
schools OF his or her own town or city.
We believe if the trustees of our city schools
would look into this matter and they should con-
to it enough students from the city would take
this course to almost pay the salary of compe-
tent instructor. The opening of the high schoo
in its school building would be the proper time
to add this departure to the schools curricu
um.

woke himself by sneezing, and he dis

He tried to arouse his w'fe, but she
was completely under the influence of

TRAILS GUILTY
WIFE ACROSS
CONTINENT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13-Peter
Pappas, wealthy restaurant man, who
conducts the Little Fare Grotto at
Chicago, followed his runaway wife
across the continent, and located her
in this city this morning. She was liv-
ing there as the wife of Nicholas
Tampakes, who left a wife and two
children destitute in Chicago to elope
with pStty Anne Pappas, and the
husband declares that he will prose-
cute the guilty couple vigorously.
The Chicago restaurant man said this
morning when he appeared to swear to
complaints against his wife and Tam
pakes. that he had trusted Tampakes
as a brother, and had frequently en-
tertained him and his wife at his home
in Chicago. He took advantage of
the confidence placed in him, and fled
with Mrs. Pappas on the 22nd of
April last. The couple came direct to
this city, and have been living at the
address given ever since as man and
wife.

city. I shall remain here until both
are prosecuted, and shall employ spe-

Philadelphia's Mayor Continues

PHILADELPHIA, June 13-The
biggest political sensation since the
removal of Directors Smythe and
Costello was created today when May
or Frank eWaver, through his coun-
sci, caused the arrest of Select Council
man Frank H. Caven, of the thirty
fourth ward on charges of conspiracy
to defraud the city.
Caven was arraigned before Mag
istrate Eisenbaum, and held in $4,000
bail for further hearing Thursday.
The affidavit charges that Caven,
while a member of the council, COM
mitted an offense in being interested
directly and indirectly in certain con-
tracts for furnishing supplies and ma
terials for the use of the city.
The supplies consisted of sand and
gravel, which were furnished to Daniel
J. McNiehol and Company, contractors,
to be used in the new filtration beds.
State Senator James P. McNiehol,
one of the leaders of the Republican
organization in this city, is a men,
Der of the contracting firm involved.
Caven denies the charge.
