Mrs. Elizabeth Lyle Saxon.

The Echo has been favored with {
copy of GA Southern Woman's War
Time "Reminiscences" a highly interest
ing volume. by Mrs, Elizabeth Lyle
Saxon, residing in Carroll avenue, this
city, and which is being sold for the be-
nefit of the Shiloh Monument Fund.
Mrs. Saxon's literary works are nu-
merous and of high order. Bay St
Louis feels proud and welcomes as a
permanent resident so distinguished a
woman as Mrs. Saxon, authoress, poet
ess, suffragist, lecturer and humanita-
rian. A magazine writer says: "Mrs.
Elizabeth Lyle Saxon, than whom no
grander woman ever blessed this world,
was born in Tennessee and reared in
Alabama, where her earliest literary
work was done. Mrs. Saxon is
descended from a family whose records
fill volumes of the best history of our
country, and whose noble blood seems
to have concentrated itself in her, and
written its stamp upon her noble deeds.
AS writer of fine prose and true poe
try, Mrs. Saxon very soon made her
mark in the world of literature, and it is
likely that no Southern woman ever
commanded as high prices for her work
as she did from the very beginning OF
her career.
"During the war Mrs. Saxon was an
indefatigable worker, equipping and
nursing soldiers in Alabama. Dur
ing the plague of yellow fever in New
Orleans, in 1873, Mrs. Saxon worked day
and night for the sufferers, giving time,
money and labor to relieve their need
She organized nursing, sewing and re-
lief associations in her own home, for
the stricken, and crushing back her
grief at the loss of her own child in the
dread epidemic, she went on with her
mission Of self-sacrificing love.
"On May 7, 1870, at the st. Charles
Hotel, Mrs. Saxon spoke for an hour be-
fore the Committee on Suffrage, Hon.
Felix P. Poche, chairman. She made a
very favorable impression and was high
ly commended for her argument, in con-
sequence of which on Jnne Is she, with
Mrs. DR. Keating and Mrs. E. 7. Mer-
rick, were invited to address the con-
vention, Says the voluminous proceed
ings of the convention: Mrs. E. L.
Saxon was greeted with burst of ap-
plause; her address was earnest, full of
power, and made deep impression :"
After her speech, Mr.. Robertson, of ST.
Landry made a motion "a pro-
vision giving the right of suffrage to
women upon the same terms as to men, "

MONSTER SEA BASS AT
PASS CHRISTIAN CAUGHT
WITH ROD BY CAPTAIN JNO. /.
M'DONALD-FISH WEIGHS 44O
POUNDS, AND IS 8 FEET Ia
INCHES LONG = FOUGHT HIS
CAPTOR TWO HOURS.

Pass Christian, Miss, Thursday, June
t4-What is believed to be the biggest
fish ever caught with rod and reel IN the
Cult of Mexica was landed by Capt. Jno'
T. Mcdonald yesterday, when he caught
a black sea bass while fishing for tarpon
at the famous Pass Christian tarpon hole
a short distance off shore. The monster
measures 8 feet IL inches in length and
weighs 440 pounds. 1t required over two
hours of hard work to land the gamester,
and Captain Mcdonald, who had landed
many large tarpon, never experienced
such fight.
The record of weights for the largest
black sea bass ever caught at Santa Ca
talina Island, CAL, considered the most
famous of all the game fish ports on the
Pacific coast, is given at 425 pounds for
one caught with a rod by E. B. Level
lyn, OF Chicago, Ills, and the next two
at 419 each, caught at the same place by
DR.. H. T. Kendall, of Pasadena, and A.
W. Barrett, of Los Angeles.
For several hours this morning the fish
caught by Captain Mcdonald was sus-
pended from tree near Front street
and viewed by hundreds of people. A
large number of photographs were taken
of the monster, with the proud cap5o
standing alongside.

VARDAMAN AND WILLlAF1S.

One of the proudest boasts of Missis-
sippi from the earliest period Of her
history has been the able, patriotic and
distinguished men who haYe been at the
helm-men who have successfully Crap
pled with the best of other States in
the halls of Congress, upon the battle
field and upon the hustings. AT the
present day our beloved State has within
her borders and among her citizens some
of the strongest and most famous men
that she has ever had. No State in the
Union can boast of q stronger delegation
in Congress to-day than can the Mag
nolia State, the fair queen Of the sister,
hood. If you asked who are the two
leading men of this State at this time,
answer comes back, "Jas. K. Varda-
man and John Sharp Williams.
In our humble opinion, the State has
never had two more loyal and patriotic
sons than above named. Knights, gen.
tlemen, are these, able, true and fearless.
The fact that they are soon to be pitted
against each other in a scramble for a
seat in the u. S. Senate, is a source OF
sincere regret to the friends of both
men. We take it that the services OF
these two distinguished men are very
much needed at this time, and the State
can i'll afford to spare either from public
life in Mississippi. 1t would be nothing
short of calamity to the public veal.
These men, who have been close politi-
cal and personal friends, should not De
allowed by their mutual friends to make
the race against each other. The mat
ter should be adjusted some way. John
Sharp Williams is today in position to
do more for the State and country at
large than he could do if he were in the
| Senate. He Is the best equipped man
in Congress to be the Democratic leader,
and if a Democratic congress should be
elected. Williams will be Speaker OF
the House, without doubt, and IN that
position he can do more to shape legls-
1ation than any other man except the
man who happens to be President. And
even if he should never be Speaker, he
can render better service where he is
now than he could in the Senate.
Now, then, if these gentlemen go
against each other for the Senate and
Williams should win, Vardaman would
be out OF public life and no other place
| for him to go, so the State must lose his
services as public servant. Our sugges-
tion is for Williams to stay where he
is and let Vardaman go to the Senate.
But. saws the friend OF Mr.. Williams, he
is ambitious and wants the promotion.
/ But ambition is the wall Of the politi-
clan, and not the voice Of the states
man. The true statesman says, ''where
can | best serve my people? ?' And not
how can my people confer the greatest
honor upon me.
The Sentinel has conyersed with a
great many men in the State upon this
matter, and we feel sure that we reflect
| the prevailing sentiment OF the State IN
the above suggestion. Let US hope that
this fight may be ayerted and the State
NAV have the services of these able
statesmen as long as tney be willing to
serve in the public ess.-Southern
Sentinel,

Hon. T. M. Henry.

Hon. Walker Wood, the talented edl-
tor of the Senatobia Democrat, and who
was elected annual orator at the recent
session of the Mississippi Press Associa-
tion, has the following, which will be
heartily seconded by Mr.. Henry's many
friends throughout the State: "Hon.
r. Nj. Henry, who presides over the du-
ties of the Auditors office, was shaking
hands with his many newspaper friends
while they were at Gulfport recently
Mr.. Henry is candidate for Insuranc e
Commissioner to succeed w. @. Cole,
who, we understand, will not be candi-
date for the office. Mr.. Henry is one of
the best known officers in the State. He
IS well qualified for the duties Of lnsur-
ance Commissioner and as his friends
have honored him before we believe
they will do so again by placing him IN
the office to which he aspires.'

...The Stand-patters Walked Up a
Peculiarly Ugly Question"

Recent press dispatches have had lib
eral and flattering notices of tariff
speech in extenso by Congressman Johr
Sharp Williams, who is today the un-
questioned leader OF his party on this
abiding paramount issue, as Jno. G
Carlisle was dozen years or so ago. A
'sset" speech from him, at this time
was sure to command and attract a great
deal of attention and comment-it may
be accepted, indeed, as sounding the
party key note in the pending congress
sional election. The following from
| Sundays New York Post, a paper that
never wastes its praise, viii be read with
gratified pride by Mr.. Williams con-
stituents:
Representative John Sharp Williams
has so many times shown him self mas
ter of the tariff question that it was
no surprise to see him rise and rend the
Republicans in the House. In addition
to thorough grounding in economic
principle, Mr.. Williams has a large
practical knowledge, which makes him
peculiarly ugly customer for the
stand-patters to wake up. Moreover,
he has the fine consistency which leads
him to denounce tariff plunder, even
when it seems to be flowing towards his
own pocket. Hence the discontinue
of those who sought to trap him by ask
ing him if he, himself cotton planter,
was not in favor OF a protective tariff on
his own product. "Why should l want
to rob carpenters and bricklayers and
blacksmiths, asked Mr.. Williams, "by
making them pay an artificial price for
nv cotton % This is much stronger
position than that taken by Senator
Tillman when he admitted that the tariff
was but so much stealing, but declared
that, so long as it was going on, he was
bound to get South Carolina IS share OF
the booty. Wr. Williams, too, fairly
left the Republicans terror = stricken
when he asked what they would do with
the tarif-revi8ion message which the
President was sure to send in before a
twelye-month has passed. = Vicksburg

siding at Crystal Springs, where for
nine years he attended public school and
graduated under Prof. T. i. Traw ick,
now of Bay 81 Louis. He is a young
man, yet in his twenties; of brilliant in
tellect and splendid ability. He will be
a terror to eviI-doers, credit to his
State, an honor to his friends. The Ech o
feels gratified oyer the election Of its
choice for the Office, and we feel safe in
saying that at no time will the people
regret the result of Tuesdays election.

| MANY CHANGES IN
NEW PRIVILEGE LAWS.
COCA COLA DEALERS WILL
HAVE TO PAY HEAVY PRIVI-
LEGE LICENSE. = COPIES OF
NEW LAW ALREADY OUT.

An examination Of the new laws with
reference to privilege license shows that
there have been many changes made.
Among these may be mentioned the
fact that gypsy bands are required to
pay heavy license for horse trading
and telling fortunes.
The license is now S100, and will, no
doubt, put these rowing bands out OF
business in this State. This law also
applies to all fortune tellers.
Under certain circumstances Confed-
crate soldiers have been exempt from
paying certain licenses for some time,
but now new provision of the law ex-
empts also any persons MANNED by loss
of hand or foot. It also has provision
relating to blind, deaf and dumb people.
This law, as in the case of the provision
with regard to the Confederate soldier,
does not create an exemption from pay
ing a license for dealing in liquor, cigar
rettes, deadly weapons, secondhand
clothing, jenny lind or pool room
table, or other contrivance kept for
amusement. The exemption also does
not apply where the person resides out
Of the State, or where he owns. in his
own right or his wife's name, property
in excess of one thousand dollars.
The new law with regard to the Ii
cense to be paid by those who sell coca
cola and kindred drinks is very different
from the old one. 1t will in the future
cost not little to sell, and some OF the
soda water fountains may have to do
away with such drinks. The following
are the licenses which people handling
coca-cola will have to pay:
On each factory or bottling es-
tabllShment t.....,..........,..........9 oU w
On each depot for distribution... lou oO
On each retailer in towns OF over
5000 tants................... % W
In cities between 1900 and 5000 10 90
In towns Of 1900 or less.............. W
On each person selling above
drinks in bottles. s....................... 90
Needless to say almost everyone will
be selling the drinks in bottles. The
State license with regard to confection-
ers will be S.. 90; SO, in the future, the
city will only receive $3.50 from con-
fectioner, where, in the past, the candy
man has paid SIS.
The legislature did not look with much
favor on the transient vendor of stoves,
ranges and clocks. This weary wan
derer is required to pay the sum of $500
for the privilege Of selling his wares.
