And by the brookiet's shore
Doth idly lie and flsh and then
Goes home and lies some more.

GREEKS TO STUDY
 AMERICAN CIVICS
WILL MAINTAIN SCHOOLS FOR BENEFIT OF MEMBERS OF THE GREEK coLoNY-MELPoL IS SECURED AS TEACHER.

The Greek community of Birmingham, through the Lord Byron society, have re- gently obtained large sum of money for the maintenance of a school for the study of the English language and civic laws. Arrangements are now being completed and it is expected that the school will open about the middle of March
 There will be two sessions daily, after noon and night The school will be con- ducted at the rooms of the Lord Byron Greek society on Twenty-first street. The classes will be in charge of John Mel polder.
 Judge Feagin said relative to this edu- cational movement yesterday: T am very much gratified at the zeal shown by the Greeks of Birmingham toward mas tering the English language and in their effort to acquire a knowledge of our in stitutions There is a disposition on the part of the Greeks to attend night school in order that they may become more thoroughly Americanized.
 "They seem to appreciate that this coun- try offers greater opportunities for diver sity of pursuits in all vacations of life and that it is the educated man, the man that is familiar with the laws of trade and commerce that can more read fly become successful in his chosen line of endeavor. It Is to be haped the Sy- rians, Italians, Russian Jews and in fact all other foreigners who are settling in the Birmingham district will follow the splendid example set by the Greeks of Birmingham"

CANDIDATES COMING OUT
 FOR MISSISSIPPI OFFICES

potent office men in the state. The fact that MT. Maxwell made the canvass three years ago Is very much in his favor. He got good vote then, in spite of the fact that he was not known outside of his own country of DeSoto, and it is confi- dently predicted here that he will have no opposition.
 The office of state superintendent will go back to the incumbent, Henry Whit field, if he wants it. He has been men, tioned in connection with the gubernator- ial berth, and stands Just as good a chance as any man In the state to be elected governor, but the understanding Is that he Is not going to try for that place this time. He will yet be governor of Mississippi is the prediction of his friends in and about the capitol.
 For attorney general there is but one man mentioned, and that is the incum- bent, Billy, the Kid" William Williams was elected three years ago by a very fiatterng vote, and if he wants the berth again he can get it. He has yet to be turned down by the supreme court in any of his decisions on matters of law, and is one of the most accommodating of ficials of the state. The man who would measure lances against him has yet to be discovered.
 These are the chief offices of the state, and the only ones over which there is liable to be any contest, except in the of fees of railroad commissioners. The in- cumbents are entitled to a re-election-at least two of them are, in view of the fact that they are serving their first terms, but it is known that all of them are going to have opposition. There has been great deal of ''kicking' against the com missioners. who are also members of tho board of control. since the legislature as- sembled but the chances are that it will all blow over before the end of the term, and that all of them will be returned. The result of the investigation being conduct ed by the legislative committee is being awaited anxiously. It is not believed that there will be anything of the sensational against any member of the board, but there may be something radically wrong reported against the employees of the board The committee has not made any report and nothing is known about what it intends to do. but it may be stated with some degree of certainty that re- port will be made next week that will surprise some of the natives.

Jackson Miss, February 23.-(Special.) )- Candidates for state offices are very scarce around and about the state capitol these days-the time during which 1t was confidently predicted and expected that candidates would materialize. The time Is somewhat distant, but there is no reason why candidates should not make them selves known and begin to put their fences in order. One of the most fre- quent visitors to Jackson is Ed Noel, the distinguished lawyer and legislator of Holmes county. the father of the state primary election law, and incidentally the author of the elective judiciary bill that was turned down by the state and the supreme court a few days ago. He is an avowed candidate for the governorship, and has a host of friends over the state who would be glad to see him in the governors chair.
 Another prominent candidate for guber- material honors is Earl Brewer, district attorney of the delta district, and who has sent as many to the penitentiary and to the galows as has any other prosecu- tor in the state.
 The other offices seem to be going beg ging. There is no other announced can didate for the office of secretary of state than J. w. Power the affable and ac- commodatng incumbent, and if there was 1t would make no particular difference to Power as Mississippi always returns good and faithful servants.
 For treasurer 1t seems that John T.. Wells, the secretary of the board of con- trol of the penitentiary, Is going to have walk-over, no other man being an- nounced for the place, and the fact of the business is that MT. Wells has too long a start to be overtaken at this time of day.
 The office of state auditor is another important place that seems to be going begging. The only announced applicant for that distinguished honor is T. R.. Maxwell, now secretary to the railroad commission and one of the most com

ENGLISH TRAVELLING sALEsMEN.
How Their Comfort Is Looked After at
 the Hotels.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 Travelling men in England have special dining rooms special rates and special lots of things" said E. K. Simmons of Manchester, Eng.
 'When you go into lobby Of an Eng fish hotel you may be surprised to find a great open fire burning in one end of the room. Great comfortable chairs will be found about the lobby and you need not exclaim if you see several salesmen smoking long pipes and reposing their stockinged feet upon large footstools. Empty shoes can be found in many por- tions of the room.
 tThe English lobby is a parlor or sit- ting room, a place of comfort and in no instance bears the stiff, vanished, em- blazoned appearance of your American hostelries. When you go to the dining room you may be surprised to hear the clerk ask if you are travelling man. If you are you are ushered into simply but homely furnished room containing one long table, The apartment is more like a private dining room, and every body is everybody else's friend
 'The meal is especially served, the walters show especial difference and every thing bears tone of home life. As each man leaves the table he is seen to drop a halfpenny in a little box. This IS an unwritten law of the land, and the money thus collected goes to pay for schools and orphanages for the children of travelling statesmen who die without leaving suf- ficient means for their support. Several of these schools and orphanages are maintained throughout England.
 English travelling salesmen take life easier than do the men following simi- lar occupation in America. They never think of entering a mans store with a lighted cigar, and they would as soon for get to wear a collar or coat as to expect to do business with a aman without having their shoes carefully polished. All hotels look to this and boots gets your shoes each night, marks them with chalk, pol ishes them and returns them before you are awake the next day"

was a wheelbarrow carrying a
