THE SUMMER RAIN.

Ont of the south there comes a breeze
That bears scent from Powered isles,
And whispers to the gloomy trees
or all the summers afterwhiies
The brown grass rustles at the thrill
When down the valley croons the wind;
The gray clouds creep above the bill
TO see what welcome they may find
The warm winds whispers faint and cease
The air is heavy with the calm
Ii drowses with dream laden peace.
As though the south wind left its balm.
Then softly, softly, here and there
The vanguard of the summer rain
Falls on the dustless thoroughfare
And races to the distant plain.
\ soundless rain, almost it seems
No shouting gale to fling ii down,
No whipping wind with angry screams
To send it slanting through the town;
But gently. gently now It comes
And taps upon the window pane
he rally roll of summers drums
Beats gladly in the April rain.
The little leaves leap out and look
To see the marching of the troops;
The vines beside the singing brook
Release their coiling curves and loops;
The rose awakes within the bud,
The trees are tingling in their veins
With sap that courses like new blood,
When comes the first Of summer aims.
And you and l. we marvel most
At all the miracles II brings
This herald rain that calls the host
OF bursting leaves and blossOmings:
And when the rainbow filings its blaze
OF living color as of old
We know that in the woodland ways
1t rests on summers buried gold.

First Bay St. Louis Hotel Keeper
Passes Away.

The New Orleans Picayune of We'd
nesday contained the following:
VIM. Durbridge, the inventor of the
Alpine hat, and the first hotel-keeper
ever to run a hosiery at Bay. St. Louis,
died yesterday morning at the residence
Of his son-in-law, F. P. Marcy, 1915
Perrier street, aged 70 years.
Mr.. Durbndge's hat store on POydras,
between Carondelet and Baronne sts.,
was a famous and fashionable resort
fifty years ago. Mr.. Durbridge was a
native OF London, but came to this
country when very young man. He
first settled In New York city, but after
wards went to Jersey City, where he es-
tablished a hat factory. After doing
business successfully there for several
years, he moved to New Orleans fifty
three years ago and established himself
on Poydras street. He brought with
him from Jersey City the pattern of the
Alpine hat, and soon made it popular
in New Orleans, where previously the
silk hat was worn.
Alter retiring from the hat business
Mr.. Durbridge became a steamboat
owner and captain, running the Cricket,
which he afterwards rebuilt and called it
the Lulu D., after his daughter. That
was in the latter part OF the sixties.

BILOXI NEWS NOTES.
Canning Industry Hindered BY Labor
SCarCity-Training and Industrial
School to be Established,

| Biloxi, Miss, Dec. 19.-Possibly more
than for years is the canning industry
| hindered this season by the LABOR con-
ditons. All the factories were much
| bothered at the outset to secure any
| sort of labor, but since it has been got
ten here the trouble seems to have been
only started. The class gotten here
lacks sticking qualities and moves from
factory to factory, so much SC that the
managers never know when they are to
have labor. AS the result of these trou-
bles the factories are all as much as fifty
| per cent. short of the pack at this time
last season. The raw oyster business,
however, is booming.
Postmaster j. F. Williams was taken
suddenly quite i'll this evening with a
chill followed by severe fever. 1t is not
thought now that he will be seriously i'll.
Deeds were to-day signed for dona-
ton of twenty acres of land in the West
ern portion of the city for college pur-
poses. The tract lies adjoining the
Camp Ground property. II is proposed
to establish a training and industrial
school.
All the trouble of the Gulf Coast
Traction Company as to right of way is
now removed and the line is progressing
nicely. Work has begun at Gulfport
and is being pushed east rapidly towards
Biloxi. The line is practically laid over
that portion of the route through the
town Of Gulfport.
Rev. H. w. Van Hook has again
been returned TO the Methodist congre-
cation and will again take up the w2T'-
of establishing a Young Mems Chr
ian Association here, which he h"7 4
gun early this year. = A lot .M II
building has already been sechR,
donation from Mr.. Harry Howard.
1t is generally understood that the
lumber interests here and Immediately
around this city have pooled interests
and that an advance in the price of h.rrfhs==-'
Der may be looked for. The report cur
rent some weeks since that the Dantzler
Lumber Company of Moss Point had
purchased the Lienhard lumber mill at
Handsboro, has not panned out. 1t is
now said the trade is off and that law
suits for alleged failure to carry out
contracts will follow. The sale was un-
derstood to embrace quite large lot of
oldest and most successful in this Sec
ton of the State. 1t is understood the
source of disagreement is the mill pond,
Dantzler claiming it was included in the
purchase and Lienhard denying.-N. o.
