HIS SPEECHES
IN DEMAND
Democrats Are To Scatter
Those of Mr.. Williams.

Washington August 4.-The
congressional campaign commit
tee of the democratic party is pre-
pairing to send tons of Mr.. Will
liams' speeches in congress to
the voters of this country. The
speeches of the Mississippian are
in great demand just now, es-
pecially his utterances on the
tariff and the trusts. It has been
held not contrary to the law gov
erning franking privileges to
send speeches of congressman
out for campaign purposes and
both parties are preparing to
take advantage of this fact.

Won Both Games.

The Columbus Base Ball Team
returned yesterday morning from
Tupelo, where they played two
games; winning both by scores of
. to 1 and z to 4. Wheeler pitch
ing the first game and Turner the
second. The boys report having
been treated royalty by the Tu-
pelo people, but say the attend
ance at the games was woefulIy
small. For this reason only two
games were played.

have been since his death In
avoiding the payment of taxes
to the city of Chicago. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Field only paid
taxes on 50. 100000 of person al
property, though the inheritance
taxes alone on his estate amount
ed to more than that sum.
Though worth S10O, 100000 he
had avoided the payment of his
taxes by the threat that if thew
were levied and collected up 10
the tull extent of the law, he
would move his residence from
Chicago. He also laid great
stress on the fact that other
wealthy men were admittedly as
far behind as he was. The re-
suit of these threats, which. il
they had been called, would have
been proved to be bluffs, was
that Mr.. Field and other rich
men avoided their just obliga-
nons and literally defra I'd ed |
Chicago annually out Of large
sumo of money due for taxes.
1t has been estimated by the
board of review of Chicago that
Mr.. Field owes taxes on at least
SlO5, 900, 900, and the intetest
alone on this sum amounts to
1892, 900. The law, however.
las at last got its hands on this
estate, but it has not su ,ceeded

who are alive and {
'nJoying all the benefits and
protection of the city of Chicago,
nd rot paying their share of ,
he taxation. In Chicago and {
retty much every other city in {
he country there is great need c

nforced tax law. The case of

TRUSTEES WILL MEET
Some University Building Contracts To Be
Awarded.

| The executive committee of the
board of trustees of the universi.
ty of Mississippi will meet in
jackson on the 7th of August for
the purpose of opening bids on
the institution, for which plans
have been prepared by r. H.
Hunt, the architect.
The building committee is COM
posed of five members, and while
no official announcement to this
effect has been given out, it is
believed among the trustees that
the governor will call all of the
members to assemble in jackson
on that date to select the new
chancellor.
Some of the trustees are anx-
ious to dispose of this trouble
some subject, as it is only a few
weeks until the next term of the
university will be convened, and
if new chancellor is to be select
ed they want the matter settled
before the university term is
commenced.
The governor, however, is still
maintaining a discreet silence on
he subject, and there have been
10 surface indications of any
nature tending to show the
IDENTIFY of Chancellor Fulton, s
The meeting of the board, when
is held, promises to be a red

chancellor Fulton will be on hand

GETTING READY To ERECT
GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS
Propositions For Sale of Sites Being Sent
In From Various Mississippi Towns.

A Special from Jackson says
Propositions for the sale OF
building sites in the towns of
Mississippi where government
buildings are to be erected in ac-
cordance with the omnibus bill
passed at the last session of con-
gress are being forwarded to the
treasury department at Wash
ington.
The amount of time consumed
in the erection of these buildin gs
will largely depend on the amount
of time consumed in perfecting
titles to the property to be pur-
chased. In all of the towns, ex-
cept jackson, it will be necessary
for the government to purchase
sites, and the supervising archi-
tect Of the treasury department
will prepare plans and specifica-
tlons In the order in which titles
are certified from the department
of Justice.
Inasmuch as it will not be nec-
essary to purchase site in Jack
son, the present grounds being
large enough to accommodate a
building four times the size of
the present structure, it is ex-
pected that Supervising Archi-
tect Taylor will at once prepare
the plans for the $4,000 annex
in this city authorized by con-
gress.

FALLING OFF IN
BLIND AND DEAF
1900 Census Figures Show
Some Interesting Results

Washington, ID. CA bout one
person in every 1.200 was blind
and one in every $50 persons was
deaf in the United States in 1900,
according to a special census re-
port on the blind and deaf in the
United States in that year, just
issued by the census office.
The inquiry was conducted
under the direction OF DIR. Alex
ander Graham Bell, who deter
mined the scope of the fret in
vestigation and wrote the text Of
the report on the deaf.
The total number of blind i'm
the United States in 1900 was
4,763, of whom 30, $40 were to-
tally blind and 29,11S partly
blind. These figures, however,
the report says, can only be con-
sldered as the minimum, as an
unknown proportion of the blind
are not located by the enumer-
ators. OF the total blind, 36,054
were males and 1900 females.
Blindness is chiefly a defect of
adult life, almost 20 per cent. Of
the blind becoming so after 20
years OF age. About one tenth
of the total number of blind were
born so. The number of blind
per thousand of population was
greater among the negroes than
among the whites, and greater
lmong the foreign born whites
han among the native whites.
In about 8 per cent. OF the
asses of blindness reported the
'arents OF the blind were cous-
rs. OF the blind whose parents
'ere so related % per cent. were
ongenitally blind, while among
he blind whose parents were not
ousins the proportion congeni-
ally blind was only 6.8 per cent.
II the blind at least 10 years of
ge, 20 per cent. were engaged
some gainful occupation.
he percentage of persons en-
aged in professional pursuits,
ade an d transportation, and in
Ianufacturing and mechanical
Idustries is larged among the
tally blind than among the gen
al population.
Deafness on the whole, the re-
'rt says, is more common in the
orthern part of the United
.ates than in the Southern, and
ere are more deaf males than
males. The total number of
'af in the United States is Civ
as 80. 27O of whom 81 APO were
tally deaf and 51,861 partly
'af. From the latter class.
'wever, are eliminated those
erely "hard of hearing" The
nsus report of 1890 gave the
mber of deaf persons as 121.-
) and the opinion is expressed
at the returns for 1890 are un-
ubtedly excessive, while those
1900 are deficient. OF the
ally deaf, 52.5 per cent. were
lies. Negroes constitute 11.6
r cent. of the general popula-
n and only 90 per cent. of
deaf. That the negroes seem
8 susceptible to deafness than
white, the report says, is
'bably due in part to less
nplete returns from the negro

HUNGER IN ZION CITY

An Appeal is Issued.

OF John Alexander Dowie. .Johr
| Z. Hately, the receiver app ointed
| by the government, has issued
an appeal for a relief fund to
stay the hunger of Dowie's old
followers. Where a community
of $500 rithe-paying people
dwell In prosperity a year ago
there are now a scant 5000 per-
sons menaced by want. They
are unemployed, their land is
valueless and their children are
underfed and half clothed.
This is the story Of the down.
fall of city that was built on
the self-made and self-adminis-
tered religion of "Dr." Dowie.
''the healer
While the poor inhabitants
were hoping for relief to come
from the plan started by Receiv-
er Hately, Dowie was completing
his plans for future actions
against his enemies, for whose
defeat he put in a night of silent
prayer.
The enemies, chiefly Volivia,
passed the time waiting for re-
plies to kilograms which he had
sent to many parts of the world
to bolster up his fight-telegrams
at a cost of $40. each, some of

among the people today, and the
shadow of decay fell upon all
