MISSISSIPSI STATE
HAPPENINGS
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS.
AN EpIYONE OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief.
Was Great Success.

The grand lodge of Mississippi ma
sons which had its annual session at
Brookhaven during the past week was
success in every way. The atten-
dance was large, the entertainment
furnished by the local Brookhaven
people was all that could he wished
for and much good was accomplished
in business way. C. HI. Blum, the
Grand Master-elect of the grand lodge
of the Mississippi Masons, who is a
prominent business man OF Shelby,
has the distinction Of being the first
Jew to hold that Office. In his election
is noted a novel coincidence. He is
nephew by marriage Of Julius Yaret-
zky, the grand tyler, who has behind
him many years of honorable service
as doorkeeper Of the Mississippi
grand lodge.
One of the principal matters en-
gaging the attention of the grand
lodge was the proposed Widows and
Orphans Home, for which an endow-
ment fund exceeding $4,000 is now
on hand. The question of location
was left open, and committee ap-
pointed to entertain bids and select
location within the next six months.
The grand lodge appropriated $1,000
for the home endowment fund.
The grand lodge will meet in 1907
at Natchez.

Report Favorable.

Chairman Kyle of the house COM
mittee on humane and benevolent
institutions, has submitted the fol
lowing report on the Vicksburg char
ity hospital:
Mr. Speaker Your committee on
humane and benevolent institutions
beg leave to submit the following re-
port Of their. investigation of the state
charity hospital at Vicksburg:
Under the direction of the legisla-
ture, we have visited this institution
and thoroughly examined into all the
details of it's management and condi-
ton, and we feel it our duty to state
of all the charitable institutions OF
our state, there is not one more ef-
fciently managed or more honestly
or economically conducted than this
nor is there one that is doing more
efficient work in the cause of human
ity. Our investigation has been thor
ough and searching and systematic,
covering every department OF the
management and every detail OF each
department. We found the hospital
In cleanly, sanitary condition and the
patients well attended; every care
necessary to their comfort and health
being given by DR.. Martin, the sur
geon in charge, and his able corps OF
assistants and nurses.
1t is our idea that paupers are hui
man, as we'll as those in more prosper
porous circumstances and that they
should receive from the state that
care and treatment necessary from
physical affection, beyond their meas
ure to cure. In this connection we
feel warranted in saying that this
hospital is meeting every demand and
fulfilling the purpose of its creation
by meeting our charity in the true
Christian spirit, in relieving the sick
and needy. Under the efficient SER
vices Of the surgeon in charge, assist
ed and supported by the board OF
trustees, we believe that the work
done here for the relief of suffering
humanity is surpassed by none and
equaled by few Ike institutions in
the south. We do not think that too
much can be said in concentration of
DIR. Martin, whose heart seems to be
in his work, who devotes his time,
talent and energies without stint to
the success Of his important charge; !;
and we would recommend that his
salary be increased to $1,000 per
year.

WHITE FAVoRS LYNCHING.
Saws Mob Law is Better Than ANY
Other Sometimes.

Ithaca, N. Y, February 25.-An-
drew D. White, former Ambassador
to Germany, in an address before
Cornell students yesterday came out
strongly in favor of lynching. He
quoted Goodwin Smith in saying there
were communities in the United
States where lynch law was better
than any other, and excoriated the
maudlin protest against summary DIS
posal of murderers and ravishers. lie
said that only one in forty-six mur-
derers is legally executed.
s1Within the next year." he contin-
ued, "nine thousand persons will be
brutally killed, destroyed by human
hyenas. My sympathy goes out to
them and their families, not to the
fiends who will destroy them. =

To Issue Bonds.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
of Natchez adopted a resolution to
petition the legislature for authoriza-
tion to issue $4,000 municipal bonds
the interest to be fixed by the Board.
It is proposed to use $4,000 Of the
bonds for the redemption of outstand-
ing indebtednss, $25,0O0 for a school
house and $4,000 for the erection
of municipal electric lighting and
power plant. The bonded and out
standing indebtednss of the city
amounts to almost 100000. This
proposed issue will make net in
crease of 100000 which is beyond
the limit allowed by the Code of 1892.

Trust to the Faith Cure.

A band of so-called "faith curists'
has reaped a harvest of money and
jewelry among the negroes and poor
whites Of Vicksburg during the past
week. The operations of the fakirs
were reported to the police, various
victims complaining that they had
been defrauded out of nearly $1,000.
Taking a case, the "faith healers''
would tell their patients that to eff
feet cure it was necessary for them
to turn over all their worldly posses
sions for period of nine days. This
the victims did. In the meantime
the "healerso disappeared.

Pleased Over Appropriation.

There is a feeling Of much general
appreciation at Vicksburg over the
bill passing the senate appropriating
$4,000 for the Vicksburg over the
Park. The bill having passed the
house, there is but little doubt here
but that the governor will sign it, as
he has intimated often that he fav-
ored an appropriation.
