part of the city were badly damaged
Twenty-one men were caught in a res

stories of the Y. NJ. c.. A. building
were wrecked and other buildings suf-
fered in the upper stories.
Hard Fight with Fire.
The negro tenement district in the
north of the city was demolished and
the debris caught fire, threatening a
new danger, but the local department,
with the help of hundreds of citizens,
overcame this after hard fight. They
were assisted by the torrential rain
following the tornado. The known
path of the storm was about 600 feet
wide and one mile in length.
The Union and Queen and Crescent
depots were among the buildings de-
molished and it is estimated that more
than a score of dead are among the
wreckage.

Frank Woodruff, employees of the
Meyer Neville Company, were buried
in the debris when that building went
down. Bennett escaped, but the other
men were caught beneath the ruins.
PIOws Way Through City.
The cyclone, accompanied by heavy
rainstorm, struck Meridian shortly
after dark. The storm center was in
the southern portion of the city and
particularly heavy along Front street,
one of the principal business streets
of the town. Nearly every house on
Front street is reported to have been
demolished.
The Armour packing plant was left
standing and the roof of this was
gone.
The city was plunged into total
darkness, the electric lighting plant
having been put out Of business. The
cyclone did severe damage at other
points adjacent to Meridian ana3all
trains entering Meridian were delayed
considerably.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany reported having lost fifteen miles
of wire and the Postal Telegraph Com
pany also suffered great damage.
The wires were all down between At

fail to make money out of fall pigs
because they do not handle them right

them on corn to the exclusion of all

The railroad attorneys are making
q determined fight for their clients, and
Senator Elkins, chairman of the Inter
state Commerce Committee of the Uni
ted States Senate, and a majority of
the Republican members of the commit
tee are helping the railroads by delay
ing action on the bills before them.
The evident intention is to compromise
with the railroads so that the most inn
poltant provision of the promised leg
islation is to be lacking, which should
give the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion power TO make a reasonable rate
in lieu of rate declared to be unrea-
sonable. One of these railroad attcr-
neys who resides in Washington took
the time, trouble and expense to go to
New Orleans to address the annual
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science. He
attacked President Roosevelt's plan
and arraigned the railroad bill passed
by the House of Representatives at the
last session of Congress- He asserted
that there is no genuine instance OF
injustice In interstate railway rates
which cannot be remedied under the
present law, and presented the view
that the judicial power is adequate to
control future rates.
This audacious claim is on a par
with the plundering tactics of the cor
porations. How have the shippers and
~ g., DIn% rot fIr-
tice in the courts, with the railroads
using all the delays that the law al
lows? Only those with a long purse
and whose business cannot be ruined
by the obstacles and delays, that the
railroad managers know so well how to
inaugurate can successfully fight the
railroads in the Federal courts, where
the judges, if not favorable to the cor
porations, are most or them under
obligations to the corporations for rail
road passes, and one judge, at least,
for private cars and subsistence on his
luxurious tours about his district.
That is why the public are demand
ing that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission be given power to fix a reason
able rate in place of one it has de-
clared unreasonable under the present
law When the present law was passed
it was intended that the Commission
should have the power to declare n
rate unreasonable, and this power is
still undisputed 1t was also intended
that the law should give the Commits
sion power to fix a reasonable rate in
place Of the one declared unreasonable
and this was admitted by the railroads
for some years, but eventually on
technicality was overruled by the Su
preme Court. TO supply that deficiency
in the law is the purpose of the present
uprising, and is what the railroads are
fighting 1t is absurd to believe that
Congress intended to leave power in
the railroads to continue to charge an
unreasonable rate and compel shippers
to apply to the courts for redress. If
that had been the intention of Con
gress there would be some indication of
such a purpose in the law.
Nothing short of giving the Commits
sion that power will protect the ship
pers and the public and all the sophis-
try of the special pleading Of the rail
road attorneys cannot turn the people
from their determination for that

IL may be noted that India and Cey-

so because OF the small amount OF

analyses by Professor Ditmar show
that flye-mlnute infusion of Chi

sion 3.7S per cent. while the India
tea developed 6.77 and sos per cent

Chinese tea producers, exporters, tea
guilds and government TO awaken to
the competition and do their utmost
TO save the American market, which
the India tea trade is already striv-
ing hard to secure.
That the American tea market is
capable of great development is not
to bo questioned. The American
taste has been toward coffee, the
consumption of coffee having in

/ Reid, a prominent Montreal railway
contractor, sat In his Office in the
Canadian metropolis. A large map
of North America hung before him
on the wall. Having migrated to
Canada, says the Grand Magazine,
he had as contractor built large
portions of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way and was still looking about for
new fields of endeavor.
He picked up a letter from his
desk. 1t was from the government
of New foundland accepting his ten
der for building a railway across the
island. By the terms Of the con-
tract. now about to be signed, Reid
would build the road at $15,6OO a
mile. AS railway is useless unless
engines and carriages run over it, the
contractor agreed to operate 1t for
a grant in fee simple of 5000 acres
of land for each mile for a period of
ten years"
The government accepted this OF
fer. Reid smiled, his thoughts at the
moment going back TO his boyhood
and to his Uncle Henry. BY single
stroke of the pen he became the
master of 100000 acres of timber
agricultural and mineral land.
lie was the greatest private land
owner in the world. But that was
nCt all. He became possessed of an
additional estate. His Uncle Henry
died and bequeathed him the five and
a half acres in Cupar Angus!-New
