HIRED FOUR HACKS
i,uf Refused to Pay Price Demanded
 by FiaEKmaft.

Hackmafi John Mccarthy is on the wdrpath after some men who hired four hacks from him and afterwards refused to pay when he demanded his money. Aiigelanitonio Cocchiola of 4O6 Mill street hired four hacks from John to attend funeral Sunday "JacK" brought his own two and hired a couple more. From Mill street the party proceeded to the Italian church and then up to Winchester avenue From there the funeral was about to proceed to the cemetery when McCar- thy demanded his money. He asked four dollars for each hack; as they were being used from o'clock in the morning and then it was getting on close to i o'clock When the Italians heard that they had to pay four dol lars for each hack they put up a big howl and refused to pay. saying that three dollars was all that they would give. Jack" and the reIIows on the other hacks refused to take this and would proceed no further. He got no money for the lacks, but he had to pay for those which he did not own. Now lie is going to either have Angel antonio arrested or sue him. "Jack'' says it was worth about six dollars per hack, as there was five hours work, and he intends to get his mon. ey or know the reason why.

TUESDAY, NOV 14, 1905.

It is believed that the visit of Secre- tary Taft to the IsthInus will result ill a bettermeft of the working cond1- tions there. The secretary is a prac- tical man and has enough business ex- perience to know that no executive body, bound hand and foot, with noth- ing loose butt tongue, can do effective work. Engineer Wallace has testified that the conditions for doing the work there have been so halnpered by red tape that progress has been impossi- ble. The formalities in the depart- ments which inipetfe all government work are hec,iliaFiy obstructive there owing not only to the magnitude Of the work but of the great distance of the canal from the seat of govern ment. Communication with the 18th mus is not of the best; and the best communication is poor enough when the details of such a vast enterprise are under consideration. It is beheved that it will be the effort Of Secretary Taft to cut as much red tape as possi- ble, to give to responsible officials as much liberty as is consistent with eau tion and to apply progressive and ap- proved methods of business. If this hope is realized the most serious work of the canal will have been completed and the dirt will begin to fly.

When a government department man undertakes to clean house he does 1t thoroughly and without any penuri- o1,s regard to what the cost may be. The treasury department is being cleaned this year of the smoke and dust that has accumulated upon it's exterior walls and for many weeks workmen have been going over it inch by inch with scrtifbing brushes. scrapers and mild acids. They began on the bower stories first and with this part white and the upper part dusly gray the great building has had chilly appearance of being out in it's underwear. The work progresses. though. and before many weeks the building will be clean from top to bot tom and the marble once more re- stored to it's brilliant whiueness. At the same time work on the interior of the capitol has been going on and at a cost of f0rty-five thousand dollars that building will be made clean. comfortable and more attractive than it has been for many years. In order that some of the "hOr UT" Of the leg islative chambers may not return to asphyxiate the members all tile fiues have been equipped with exhaust fans and the ventilation perfected at cost of len thousand dollars. Everv year for forty years the rutuiEia walls have been treated to coat Of paint. but last year Architect Elliot Woods of the capitol succeet1ed in persuadiug con gressmen who couldn't have told the rolor of the walls if their next election had depeEieI on 1t that the parni must come off.

The representative of the hardware trade in the United States who have been in session in Washington for al- most week missed a golden Oppor- tunity for doing a good stroke of busi- ness for themselves, says a Washing ton writer. There were thousand representatives of the manufacturers and the jobbers in two separate con yentions and both of them passed res olutions, almost identical in form, re- commenting the reorganization of the consular service, with d view to ex- tending America's foreign markets. There they stopped. Both resolutions read reorganization on business lines" There was not single recotii- mendation as to what the manufac- ttirers wanted of the consuls ano no suggestion for the state department to take hold of. Now it happens that the state department is much interest ed just now in the reorganization of the consular service with this very end in view, the extension of American markets abroad. It Is to be supposer that the hardware men, who are an important body, had some ideas as to foreign trade. But if they had they kept them carefully concealed ana left the situation for the state department to deal with as best it can. Now was the time if ever that the department would have welcomed a rational sug- gestion. But the manufacturers let the occasion go by

French Colony.

Near Tomnolan, and about twenty
miles east Of Winona on the Southern
is the small French colony that is
opening the eyes Of the natives of
that section to the real possibilities
of their soil and resources. In an in
creditbly short time, they have pos
sessed and brought into cultivation a
large tract of land and in the mean
while have operated a mill industry.
They purchased their goodly acres in
the virgin form almost at song, and
by skill and industry have raised the
value several dollars per acre. Even
were they to so abridge their labors
now, and go back to the old country,
they would take back no inconsider-
ate amount of profit on their invest
ment.

Masonic Home.

At meeting Of the Masons of Me

masse, the matter of the location OF
the Masonic Widows and Orphans
Home was thoroughly discussed, and
the effort set in motion to have the
home erected in Meridian. The home
is to have an endowment fund OF
100000, and a very fine building is to
be constructed. The local Masons are
enthusiastic over the proposition
and feel much encouraged over the
outlook and the manner in which the
Meridian people have responded Il
the endeavor to secure the location OF
the structure in this city.

Exchange of Books

The publishing houses which were
successful in getting contracts fol
school books for the public school:
desire an Interpretation of that see
ton of the law in regard to exchang-
es. The contract signed by the pub
fishers and the state limits the time Of
exchange of old books for new one:
to twelve months from the date Of
contract, but it is said that this was
esvidently not the intent Of the law
as it would cut off good many child
rem from the advantages of exchange
as they advance from grade to grade
No request for an Interpretation Of
the contract has been made, but it is
probable that the matter will be re-
ferred to the governor and by him to
the attorney general.
