Case of Perjury.

As an aftermath Of the mistrial in
the case Of murder against Junius
Yerger, which occupied the circuit
court all last week, it develops that
there are suspicious of crooked work
ON the part of members of the jury,
and it is openly charged that one Of
the members of that body stands a
chance of investigation for alleged
perjury. The allegation is that juror
purposely perjured himself in order
to get on the jury. It is stated that
this juror dropped remark to the
effect that he had heard that the de-
ceased man, Gale, had procured a
pistol the night prior to the killing,
and that his intention has been to
get on the jury in order to inform
the other members Of the fact. When
the jury was being drawn this man,
as we'll as others, had under oath stat
ed that he knew nothing direct about
the case, and had no fixed opinion re-
garding it, and was prepared to try
it with mind perfectly clear. AS a re-
suit of this discovery it is the purpose
of District Attorney Greaves to put
this juror under bond to appear be-
fore the next Grand Jury, and it is
not unlikely some other members of
the same panel will be scrutinized, as
it is suspected, though not directly
charged, there were others not above
tampering or being tampered with. In
fact, the prosecution is not at all sat
isfied with the outcome of this trial,
and the law officers see cause for
alarm for the future at what seems
to them miscarriage of justice in the
| late case.

Hospital Project.

The Gulfport Circle of the Kings
Daughters, has appointed committees
to raise funds for hospital. Two
members were appointed from each
church in the eIty, and these were
asked to select one lady from each
church who is mot member of the
Kings Daughters. The committee was
also asked to enlist the services of
the Jewish ladies. The leader, Mrs.
Dinsmore, is also member of the
committee. Mrs. Gage Clarke has ten
dered the Circle the use of the paw
ilion for Japanese tea, Oct. "a,
Mr.. Clarke gives everything-th pa

The Kings Daughters hope to have
Miss Sophie Wright with them in an
open meeting October 10, when it is
believed something worth while will
be done relative to the hospital. The

ed and furnished. They are tireless
workers. and failure is unknown to

Separating Line.

Among the propositions now pend
i,o before the administration of Mis-
sissippi is one that has been submit
ted by the authorities of Louisiana
relative to dividing the expenses OF
placing distinguishing buoys along the
line between the oyster grounds or
water belonging to the two states.
This matter was the subject Of a
conference between Attorney General
Williams and Hon. John Dymond, Jr,
representing the Louisiana Oyster
Commission. The conference lasted
some little time, during which Mr..
Dymond pointed out that the inter-
ests of Mississippi fishermen are as
much at stake in the carrying out OF
this work as those of Louisiana, and
that the marking of the boundary line
will be of mutual benefit to each state.
Attorney General Williams, while ad-
mitting the equity of this contention,
was forced to point out that the state
of Mississippi could not very well
enter into JOINT arrangement to share
the expense in the absence of an ap-
preparation for the purpose by the leg
islature. The matter was referred to
the governor, however, and Mr.. Dy-
mond held conference with the chief
executive, who heard him atte1tively,
but could make no specific promise as
to what the legislature would do by
way Of refunding any money that the
executive department might undertake
to guarantee during vacation. How
ever, Governor Vardaman intimated
that he would look into the matter and
see if anything can be done by way
of getting around the laws technl-
calities. Mr.. Dymond pointed out that
the line to be marked out by these
buoys is about SO miles in length,
and that the intention is to place the
series of buoys about one mile apart,
which wuld entail considerable ex-
pense on the Oyster Commission. The
question is can the state of Missis-
sippi join with Louisiana in the mat
ter, and that is in allegiance. The
governor was exceedingly busy during
the day, much more so than usual,
with several matters in connection
with state institutions to look into,
as well as the necessity for leaving
for Parehman this afternoon, and had
no opportunity for looking further
into this matter.

THE AMERICAN SADDLE HORSE.

The first requisite to be considered
in a saddle horse is the quality of be-
ing sure-footed; the second, that of
kind disposition coupled with
good mouth; third, a courage and
ambition; fourth, the conformation
of weight carrier; fifth, gaits and
manners. Neither the first qualifica.
tion nor the order in which it is
placed will be disputed. No stumb.
ling horse should ever be mounted.
Almost every person who has seen
horse knows the meaning OF kind
disposition to a certain extent, AMI
none can possibly appreciate it more
than the rider. The saddle horse
should by all means have a level
head, and no one thing has tendency
to produce this more than a good
mouth. When drawing in the reins
on start there should be a percep-
tible yielding of the lower jaw, fol-
lowed by steady pressure willingly
given in such way that the rider
may at all times feel" the horses
mouth, and the absence of a desire to
pull or lug should be marked The
mouth is many times the root of all
eyIl, and the thought of its influence
upon the horses disposition should
never leave the riders mind Amer.

Astronomy, that science of illimit.

Astronomy, that science of illimit4
able marvels, seems. even in it's most
familiar phases, far remote from
mans everyday life, observes Col
lier's Weekly. Yet the English as
tronomer, Sir Norman Lockyer, has
recently established a fundamental
date in human history by simple
and fascinating application of this
5ranch of science. Stonehenge' g
wonderful rock architecture, he has
determined, was built as a sort of
primitive sacred observatory. There
in the priests Of the sun worshiped,
publishing to their wild congrega-
tions the changes of the seasons.
More than mere priests and builders
were they, for their edifices were 50
designed that on the longest day
of the year the midsummer sun
flashed the first ray of it's rising d.
rect upon the central altar. But in
the slow procession of the ages the
celestial pole sweeps around grea;
circle, and the midsummer days sun
yeers by minute fraction of degres
at each years rising. So. the beam
that illumined the solemn array oi
the astronomer-priests in that dim
twilight of history. now falls nearly
a degree aslant Of the ancient altar.
To estimate the time represented in
the variation is simple. 1t estab4

of the wonder of the eternal ages is

Secretary Taft Says Question of With

Grafton Important Confer
ence Held in Havana.

A special from Havana says: The
United States, through its peace com-
inissloners, is not ready to announce
when it will withdraw from the island
OF Cuba and surrender the reins or
government to the Cubans, but this
action cannot be taken until the time
arrives when fair elections are assur-
Ell. This statement was made by
Governor Taft Friday as a sort of a
Valedictory address to the revolution
lists committee with which the Amer
ican commissioners dealt with In in
ducing the rebels to cease hostilities
and negotiate peace. The committee
had conference lasting an hour
with Governor Taft, Assistant Secre-
'tery OF State Bacon and Charles e.
Magcon, who is to succeed Mr.. Taft
as provisional governor, and at its
conclusion expressed satisfaction with
the position taken by the provisional
government.
Headed by Alfredo Zayas, the COM
mittee visited Governor Taft for the
avowed purpose OF requesting him to
declare the policy of the United States
toward Cuba and the policy of the
provisional governor concerning ap-
pointments to public offices.
The Americans listened carefully
to all the representations of the COM
mission, and then Governor Taft re-
piled pointedly that lie could not out
line the policy of the United States
proclamation establishing a provision
ii government for the island. He add
ed that as the representative OF the
United States, he was just as anx-
ious to surrender governmental affairs
to the Cubans as the Cubans were to
regain them, but the peace commits
sioners were under the responsibility
to build up conditions which would
make the Cuban government a stable
enc.
Governor Taft would not predict
when such a satisfactory condition
would be reached, but he said the
Cubans themselves could hasten that
time If they were disposed to do so.
A fair and honest election by the
results of which the Cuban people
were willing to abide, Secretary Taft
declared, was necessary before the
United States would feel justified in
withdrawing from the island.
Senor Zayas, Carolos Garcia and
lose Miguel Gomez 'hastened to show
Governor Taft that it was not their
personal ambition to obtain public Of
fees. They declared, however, that
the interests of their party demanded
that the government should not be
continued in the form against which
they had revclted. Assurances were
given the conn ittee by Mr. Taft that
Mr.. Magoon would consider COM
plants against any official, investigate
them and remove persons found un-
ht to hold positions of responsible
ity or trust, but that capable men
with good records would be retained.
