 mevolent Enstitutions.
 Washington. Nov. 23.--Ths numhet of inmates in benevolent institutiona December s1, 1904, was 2s4.s62. and the number admitted during 1904 wae &C., 372. This Is the statement contained in a special bureau report on benevo- lent institutions of the United States for 1904.
 The persons enumerated an inmates of these institutions. however. the re- port says, should not be considered as paupers, and many Of them should not even be considered as recipients of charity. for the institutions. par- ticuiarly the hospitals, are frequently resorted to as a matter of convenience by individuals who pay liberalfy.
 Tt is a noteworthy fact that the me4 and boys outnumber the women and girls in benevolent institutions. This condition of affairs Is partly aecounted for by the numerous homes for vete- rans."
 More than one-thfrd of 4,2o7 existina institutions are hospitals and abous ,ene-fourth are orphanages and chii- dren's homes.

FIRE DESTROYS COTTAGE.
Home of a Negro on BeIH Street i
 Burned.

 Fire practically destroyed the two- room cottage of A. P. Brown, occupied by Adolphus Carter, a negro, last night a few minutes after o'clock at SIS Bell Street. The loss will not exceed *4oO or $500.
 The first assistance from the Fire De- partment arrived on the scene after the flames had gained considerable head way. The aid was from the fire station at Five Points and the distance travelled by the wagons and fremen was at least a mile and half. The swift and effect i've work of the flremen. no doubt, saved the merchandise store of M. T. McLain al 944 Bell Street from destruction. The near wall of the store had to be cov- cred with water sufficient to seep through and damage stock to the extent of about $100.
 The origin of the fire Is mysterious. It is believed to have been of incendiary origin.

Professor Atkinson, principal of the public schools at Alabama City, had an exceedingly narrow escape from losing his eyesight Monday by acci- dentally using carbolic acid for bath ing his eyes. The Professor had an eye trouble and was using wash. Monday he got hold of the wrong bot tie and poured a quantity of carbollc acid in the basin and proceeded to bathe his eyes. The first touch told him he had made a mistake and he quickly dried his eyes. The skin was burned around his eye lids but fortu- nately the eyesight was not injured.

BRUNT SMITH WANTS $4,000.
A GrOtesque Damage Suit It
White Cap Bluff or a Form Of
Black Mail?

Special Correspondence, Jackson Evening News
Brookhaven, Miss, Aug. 21.-
An echo of the famous white cap
court held here last December is
heard in the fling of suit for
ten thousand dollars damages
against j. w. McGrath, w. III.
SeaVey and B. I. Hobbs by Brunt
Smith, of this county. Messrs.
McGrath and Seavey are promi-
nent merchants of this city and
Mr.. Hobbs is editor of the Brook
haven Leader. As members of
the citizens executive committee
which investigated the white cap
depredations in this county and
managed the prosecution in the
courts of the persons charged with
white capping, the gentlemen
named signed the affidavit oharg-
ing Mr.. Smith with being men,
Der and taking part in a raid on a
negro who was killed. The decIa-
ration in the damage suit alleges
that the prosecution was malicious
and that he is entitled to remun-
Grafton for false Imprisonment
lasting about thirty days, as the
grand jury ignored the charge.
Another member of the exec
utive committee to which the de-
PENDANTS belonged states that the
charge against Mr.. Smith was not
pressed before the grand jury and
that he and his youngest son we're
released from custody because Of
an agreement between him and
the executive committee that be
would secure the peaoeabIe sur.
render of his three sons and SON
in-laW, who had already been
indicted. He did induce them to
give themselves up and they
pleaded guilty to murder, receiV-
ing sentences Of flfty years each.
A petition to the governor for
their pardon has been recently
circulated.
Messrs. Cassidy & Cassidy. of
Summit, are attorneys for Mr..
Smith in the damage suit. Z.
Brady, .Jr., ESQ.,, Of Brookhaven,
will have charge of the defense.
He was associated with the de-
PENDANTS in the investigation of
the white cap depredations and
was chief prosecuting attorney ID
the cases tried.
In the light Of facts easily es-
|tablished, the filing Of the suit
referred to ahogeis d piece Of in
sanity Or reckless folly that can
only be explained on the pre-
sumption that the plaintiff who
is an illiterate man, as well as one
of very bad reputation, does not
realize bis own position and has
acted on some exceedingly bad
advice.
