with club to drive 1t from the build- ing.
 Those to whom the specter is said to have appeared are Willis H. Hoes, Frank Hartwell and Charles c. Morell. They tell substantially the same story, which was related by each without col- Liberation with the other.
 It seems especially strange that such story should be told of Lawrence Hanley. He knew more about ghosts, perhaps, than any other patient who ever died there. for his long and bril- liant stage career acquainted him in- timateIy with Shakespeare's ghostly company. As Hamlet" and Mac beth" he had held communion with averaging spirits; in the first year of his acting he had even impersonated Banquo's ghost and that of the Dan. ish king. But the persons mentioned gave him a part more ghastly than any Of these. the eighth act in the hu- man drama
 Lawrence Hanley's death was itself as tragic as that of any character he portrayed. for he died miserably, the wreck of a man once fired with genius.
 Hanley's ghost Is said to have ap- pearei q month after his death. A luminous, pearly vapor having the form of a man emerged from the southwest room on the lower floor. It was an opalescent apparition: 1t wore a stiff, straw hat set jauntily, a light suit ana carried a cane.
 It fsoated down the long corridor with the senblance of stride-ths tread Of the actor upon the boards and walled in voice itself the ghost of the vocal: "To-morrow and to- morrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day" and SO on to the end. He was Hamlet mourn fully reciting TO die. to sleep; to sleep, perchance to dream" All of the great characters of his past he enacted.
 He strode quickly forward. they say, made ss if to draw a sword, leaned his chin upon his hand and unused. beet- ling his brows until his eyes glowed with greater intensity. threw back his head end laughed. and then bowed and disappeared.

Helpless Women at a Premium.

A man admires nothing more in a woman than helplessness: he thinks it like patience. Is sign of woman. Illness: and womanliness is the one quality he can never resist Now. the helpless female is rapidly becoming extinct-golf and tennis and hockey, hunting. fencing and Sandow have killed her. With the development of her muscular powers 1t would seem that she is losing a great deal of her influence over man.-LAdies' Field.

INTELLIGENT CITIZEN
SPEAKS OF SCHOOLS
Hits the Key Note the Very
First Stroke
Editor CONNER CIAL:

Editor COMMERCIAL:
A dispatch from West Point,
Mss, dated the oath, contained
the following:
"Owing to the crowded condi-
ton Of the city graded schools, a
citizens mass-meeting was held
last night to determine ways and
means Of finding way out of the
difficulty. Prof. J. n. Powers
and others made addresses, Mr..
Powers presenting conditions
and needs. The meeting was
very harmonious and it was IN
animouslv decided to call for
bonds to erect new eight-room
building in the western division,
and remodel the old ones. The
city council will call for an elec-
ton tor the purpose as early as
permission. Prof. Powers has
done wonderful work in build
ing up this city's schools from
the very ordinary to that Of the
first class, and this has inspired
the citizens to make the build
ings, and equipment the most
modern possible. There will be
no question about the issuance
of bonds and the completion of
the work before the beginning of
another school year. +"
Referri ng to the above, we
cannot but admire the generous,
cordial and noble people Of West
Point.
Some Of these days we will
have an alarm of fire, and such a
holocaust and loss of child life
has never been heard of in COM
parison to what will be the re-
suit in the Columbus public
schools. The good, sweet and
helpless little ones whose bright
face may be seen merrily tread

full OF confidence and abiding
/ faith that their fathers and city
authorities have provided the
best arrangements for them, lit

Blind TIGER IN
The COURT HOUSE
Deputy Sheriff Arrested For
Unlawful Retailing
4 Jackson special says:

4 Jackson special says:
Quite little commotion oc-
Cured Monday afternoon in the
Kinds county courthouse when
Officer Pridgen, under the very
eyes Of the judge, served war;
rant upon J. J. Fitzhugh, a spe-
cial deputy, charging him with
the unlawful sale Of intoxicating
liquors.
Fitzhugh at the time Of the
occurrence was sitting in the
courtroom watching the proceed
ings of the trial then going on.
Officer Pridgen stepped into the
room, called him out and carried
him off to jail, where he is now
confined awaiting preliminary
trial to take place this morning.
The arrest IL the climax Of a
neat piece Of detective work that
has been carried on by Mr.. Prid-
gen and Chief of Police Williams.
Fitzhugh has been suspected for
some time Of carrying on quiet
little business during hours when
he was not engaged in serving
subpoenas upon persons to ap-
pear in court.
Monday afternoon the officers
gave a certain man money with
which to attempt to purchase
whiskey from Fitzhugh. APP
| preaching the deputy sheriff, the
man had no trouble whatever in
securing the stuff shat inebriates,
a pint being produced immedi-
ately. Fitzhugh, it is claimed,
boastfully remarked at the time
that she could get him a barrel
if he wanted it,
When arrested the man claim
ed that the whiskey that had
been given to the special detec-
tive was bought from a blind tt
ger, and that he merely got the
stuff for the man as a matter of
accommodation. When cross
examined at the office of the
chief of police, however, he was
unable to state either to whom he
had given the bottle or where he
had made the alleged purchase.
Fitzhugh came originally from
Rankin county, and has been IL
the city for only a short time.
Officer Pridgen claims that af
ter thorough investigation ht
has secured with esses to testify
that Fitzhugh had his blind tiger
in a closet of the court house
| Several bottles are claimed tc
/ have been found there during
the examination after the arrest

for the accommodation Of the
800 who then attended it.
We need better and more
roomy places for our littlaones,
and now that the legislature has
granted US the right to sell bonds
to build them, we hope the citi-
zens-wilI have the opportunity of
saying If they will prepare them
or not. At any rate let the City
Council order the vote taken and
then clear their skirts Of all re-
sponsibility il anything happens.
We do not think our people
would vote for donations and
but | do think when it
comes to their little children,
the delight and pride Of our
homes and hearts, we believe
they will vote it. A thousand
fold the amount would not CON-
pensate for the loss or crippling
of my little girl.
