Not all the great composers have
courted the constant adulation Of the
world. Verdi used to lament that he
was unable to find refuge, even for
a brief space, from the reputation that
preceded him wherever he went.
At one time he desired to spend a
much needed holiday at the watering
place Of Montecatini. When he arrived,
he found that in one Of the apart
ments assigned to him stood a grand
piano Of noted make On the rack,
by way of compliment, lay the score Of
I'll Troyatore = AS soon as he caught
sight Of it the veteran few into rage,
hastily locked the instrument, threw
the score into a corner and, calling for
his host, demanded in tragic tones:
Lead me to the spot that overhangs
the steepest precipicer' q
Wondering, the host did as he was
hidden, and on reaching the summit
the maestro, who was almost exhaust
| ed from fatigue, flung the key Of the
piano into the abyss, energetically ex-
claiming as he did So:
Now / have done something to Sc
4 cure rest and quiet. On the day of my
/ departure shall send a locksmith to
provide the piano with new key, but

THE FANCY POST CARDS
Will Not Be Transmitted Through The
Mails.

Postmaster r. O. Edwards has
received from the department at
Washington an order just issued
relative to ornamented pastal
cards, which is as follows:
"Post cards ornamented with
particles of glass, mica, or other
similar substances, liable to in
jure the persons of those hand
ling the mails, are hereby ex-
cluded from the mails, except
when enclosed in suitable enye-
lopes.
In pursuance of this order
Postmaster Edwards has sus-
pended transmission of large
branch of frosted" souvenir
cards, the substance thereon be-
ing of a character liable to
bruise or abrase the hands of,the
delivery clerks. Many of these
cards are the gorgeous German
Autographs so familiar in the
shop windows, and Mr.. Edwards
requests that all persons who
desire to send cards of this char
acter enclose same in sealed en-
velopes, as required by the above
order.
The souvenir postal card craze
instead of showing signs OF
abatemens, steadily continues,
and the volume of this class OF
mail is perhaps twenty per cent
larger than six months ago.

THE PYTH|ANs GROW
Fine Show is Made By That Order in

A special from Jackson, Miss,
says:
Hon. II. M. Quin, grand
keeper of records and seals of
the Mississippi Grand Lodge,
knights of Pythias, states that a
net increase of more than 1000
members for the past year will
be shown when the Grand Lodge
session is held during the month
of May.
A summary of the reports from
local lodges up to the 1st of Feb
rupry showed 1,004 new mem
bers initiated, and the deductions
on account of deaths and lapses
will not exceed the new member
ship increase from now until the
May meeting. Mr.. Quin states
that this is the largest gain pyth-
ianism has shown during the past
ten years. Several lodges have
reported membership increases
varying from % to 80 each.
The orphans home question
will come up for settlement at
the May meeting. Some of the
Pythian leaders favor the cleo
ton of home at some central
point in the state, while others
are favorably inclined to the &C.
ceptance of the offered donation
of the Protestant Orphanage at
Natchez, with the proviso that
the institution is to be perpetual
lY supported by the Grand Lodge.
The property offered is worth
fully $50, 1000, and it is doubtful
if there is another city in the
state willing to make a more lib
eral proposition. The Grand
Lodge session will be held at
Hattiesburg, just preceding the
session of the Mississippi Grand
Lodge. Independent Order OF

PASS ON IMPORTANT.
LEGAL QUESTION
Supreme Court Judges Render
important Decision.

A special from Winona, Miss,
says:
A primary election to fill an
unexpired term for sheriff in this
county was held yesterday.
There were two candidates, O.
P. Taylor and j. III. Allen. Tay-
lor received the nomination by
1O6 majority, and will be elected
at special election to be held
March 10. The vacancy in the
sheriff's office occurred by the
declaring of Sheriff T. J. White
head insane. About three weeks
ago Sheriff Whitehead shot and
killed his deputy, Campbell Bin
ford, announcing at the time tina
he intended to kill the deputy
his daughter and himself. Sher-
iff Whitehead was tried before a
lunacy commission and was ad-
judged insane and sent to the in
sane asylum at jackson, which
act created vacancy in the Of
fee of sheriff. The question then
came up as to whether the sher-
iff who was elected for White
heads unexpired term could sue
ceed himself If elected for four
years in November. The law
yers were divided on the ques-
ZION, so an unofficial opinion
sought and secured from the
supreme court. All three of the
supreme court judges decided
constitutional provision
meant a full four years tenure
and also that the sheriff elected
to fill an unexpired term could
succeed himself. 1t is, therefore
very probable that Mr.. Taylor,
nominated yesterday, will suo-
ceed to the full four years term.
