A NEGRO GOES INSANE.
Another Chapter is Written in a Famous
TRAGEDY.

Another chapter in the grew
some Copiah county tragedy orig
mating in acrininal assault and
ending in an assassination, was
written a day or so since when
Warden Henry of the peniten-
tiary, transferred a negro named
George Thrasher from the prison
to the State insane hospital.
Thrasher is the negro horse
thief who was chained to Dave
Collins, the brute who had just
been convicted of attempting to
criminally assault Miss Hogg, and
the pair of criminals were being
brought to Jackson on an Illinois
Central train by Travelling Ser
geant Dodds, when a white man
named Bob Young, accompanied
by a brother of Miss Hogg, en-
tered the coach and Young shot
Collins dead before the officer
could interfere.
1t was several minutes before
the handouts which chained the
dead negro to George Thrasher
were unlocked, and during this
interval the horse thief had all
sorts of Mysteries. Since being
brought to the penitentiary the
death struggles and writings of
the dying man have haunted his
memory and preyed on his imagi-
nation so continually that he is a
raving maniac, and it is doubtful
if his reason is ever restored.
Since being placed in the insane
hospital he has been kept confined
in the violent ward.
Young and Hogg, the principal
participants in the tragedy on the
train which has brought about
this denouement, are now in Jail
at Hazlehurst awaiting the next
session of the Copiah county cir
cult ourt.-.Jackson News.

"Ste3OmYia.' -

The New Orleans Plcayune
gives the following explanation
of the word stegomyia.
"What is the meaning of ste
gomyia fasciata?' This was the
question that engaged the atten-
ton of party of prominent local
men in New Orleans. It was fl
naIIy decided that DR.. Juan Gui-
teras, who appeared at that
time, should be asked for his opin-
ion. DIR. Guiteras answered the
question that the others could not
answer. Stegomyia is a Greek
word meaning house fly, and fas-
ciata is ia Latin word meaning with
stripes, was the Interpretation DR..
Guiteras, and be explained that
the name was given by an English
Doctor several years ago. As a
rule scientists desire to avoid hy-
bred combinations, but this com
brination of Greek and Latin is
one of the several that has crept
in.
The words "stegomyia fascia-
ta'' then means striped house
fy," the word stegomyia being
pronounced ste -yia, with the
emphasis on the second syllable.

Lady SOmerset's Succession.

London, Sept. 4 Lady Somer-
set said tonight:
Mrs. Roosevelt must be a
proud woman today when she re-
alizes the happiness brought to
hundreds of millions of women in
Russia and Japan by the culmina-
tion at Portsmouth of the splen-
did work of her hubsand. No
other power than the United
States could have brought about
peace at this time, and it seems
providential that at this crisis a
man like Mr.. Roosevelt, who
dared to do regardless of prece-
dent or tradition, should have
been at the head of the great re-
public.
Honor also is due to the ruler
of Japan, who for the sake of
peace has made concessions be-
yond what the statesmen of the
world deemed incumbent on him.
while the whole world re-
joices that peace has been re-
stored, it is in the homes of Rus
sia and Japan which have furnish
ed the hundreds of thousands of
gallant men facing one another in
Manchuria that the blessed news
will be heard with the keenest

GOVERNORS ADVICE.
Recommends a Systematic Daily Health
Inspection.

The lesson of the Natchez fever
ought to be taken we'll to heart
by the people of the entire State.
1t shows conclusively that it is
not enough to rely on quarantine
vigilance alone, and that the enc.
my may sneak through the lines
when and where he is least ex-
pected. But it emphasizes more
especially the necesissity of keep
ing close or even closer watch up
on our internal conditions as we
do upon the infected points out
side. have no hesitancy in ex-
pressing my firm conviction that
the greatest danger is not so much
in admitting the fever to our
midst as in overlooking it after
the first case has developed and
the disease has had a chance to in
feet large section before it is
discovered. There is no danger
where the first case is found and
promptly handled in the recog-
nized scientific manner. Find
your case of yellow fever, if you
have been so unfortunate as to
let it in, and you have at hand the
means of making it harmless for
further evil.
/ wish to urge most earnestly
upon the health authorities and
the municipal authorities general
ly of all cities and towns the vital
necessity of watching every min
u'e in the day for the possible de-
Velopment of infection. | advise
and recommend systematic daily
health inspection, housek-to-
house canvass by faithful and COM
petent health inspectors, for the
purpose of discovering and re-
porting every case of sickness, no
matter what may be its type.
Let these inspections be made rig
i'd and under the authority OF
stringent ordinances which will
clothe the inspectors with power
to visit every house and every
room in every house, every day
in the week, and then require The
inspectors to report promptly ev.
cry case of sickness to the city
health officer for immediate inYes-
ti9atlon.
If this is done and done
promptly and efficiently there
will be no danger of yellow fever
gaining foothold anywhere il
the State. We have ample assur,
anee Of the fact in the effective
manaer in which the disease wa:
suppressed at SumraIl and at Luln,
