jackson 6, Gulport s.

Jackson. Miss, June 4.-(Specal)-Th
most phenomenal game of baseball on
record was pulled off on the local diamond
this afternoon, Jackson having snatched
victory of the most sensational kind from
the laws of defeat At the end of the
eighth inning Jackson had eight great. big
goose eggs to her credit, while Gulfport
had five runs recorded at her last go
in the ninth. After two men were down
Jackson made run. There was rejoicing
over that, as II meant there was not a
shutout. When one more run was record
ed Jackson got excited: and as three, four,
five and six runs were piled up in rapid
succession, Jackson went wild and pam
demonlum was never a circumstance to
what was witnessed in the grandstand
as well as bleachers. These six runs were
made on ordinary batting, not a single
two-bagger being made. Score by innings:

pute between Col. w. r. Beasey and
Judge Walter Clark both of North Caro-
lima. as to who was the youngest Lieu
tenant Colonel in the Confederate army

tary secretary, General Ainsworth, in
favor of the former. Beasley became lieu
tenant colonel in December 1864, Clark
was elected a lieutenant colonel in July,
1864, but this action was afterwards re-
yoked and he never received commits

Peep Into the Crater Last Summer

A Peep Into the Crater Last Summer of the Now Raging Mountain. The great excitement which has been aroused throughout the entire world by the sudden activity of Mount Vesuvi- us, which has for several days past been gushing forth streams of boiling hot lava, destroying many lives and property along it's course, recalls to the minds of many admirers of Miss Mill dred Holland, the charming and popu- lar actress, who will appear at the Hy- perion theatre next week, her recent visit to Italy, also Mount Vesuvius
 The talented actress spent last sum- mer with her manager, MT. Edward c. White, in Sunny Italy" While there she found time to write a few lines to her many friends at home, in one of which stle wrote the following:
 "Just arrived after twelve days on the ocean, during which time were en- countered no storms. The trip was a most delightful one. I am all tanned from the rays of the sun and am feel ing in the best of health, Last week we visited Vesuvius while it was in eruption, It is one of the most inspir- ing sights I have ever witnessed. The guide, after we had gone about three- fourths toward the top, informed us that it would be dangerous to go any further. was ogstinate, as I had twice visited Italy for the sole purpose of looking down into the crater, which gushed forth such ill-smelling fumes and flames, and I was determined to go ahead, even if I never returned again
 "oust like a woman to be foolish at times, but think what great disap- pointment to me it would have been to return to America, and when asked by my friends the question, If I had looked in the crater,-and then have to an- swer in the negative, no, no. We'll, I went up and gazed into the roaring crater and was satisfied. I can assure you that I will not do it again. A few hours later after we had descended to the bottom of the volcano, we were in- formed that the path near the top, which we had taken, had fallen in about fourteen feet from the mouth of the crater How fortunate it was that it did not happen when we were there We then visited Pompefi and Hercula- neum, where we purchased a number of trinkets made from the lava, and which will make very pretty ornaments as well as remembrances of our visit to angry Vesuvius.
 While in Rome we visited St. Peters to again enjoy the wonderful paintings of the great masters of long ago. Many of these paintings have been removed to the Palace of the Vatican and in their stead are the same groups as in the original paintings, but done in mo- saic. It will still require several years before all the pictures in St. Peters will be done in mosaic,
 "Venice, the city built upon water was our next stopping place. It was our first visit since the famous Campa- nile fell to the ground. We took sev- eral small pieces of the masonry for souvenirs. Many pictures were taken which will be pleased to show you when again see you With best wishes and kindest regards to my many friends, I remain
