The late Judge Brady was presiding
over the trial OF an action involving
many interesting questions OF substan-

empty save for the litlEants. their coun-

Brady's kindness toward women and
children was proverbiul- and when
Billy stood against the railing OF the
inclosure, his face barely reaching the
balustrade, the Judge noticed him i'm
mediately. He interrupted the argu-
ments of counsel and turned to Billy.

Chinese Music.

The Chinese have eight instruments
for making their ritual music-the bell,
the flute, the drum. the sonorous stone,
the fife, the plume, the shield and the

are used as decoration or emblem in
the musical ceremonies and are emu

every ceremony there are always two
instruments of each kind, sometimes
as many as four or six, never an odd

BABY TURNED BLACK
Foster Parents ofFoundIing Were
Deeply Alarmed.
BUT IT WAS ALL RIGHT.

Family Physician Soon Relieved Their
Fears as to child's Physical Welfare,
but Gave Them Shock That They
Couldn't Get Over.
The. adoption of an Independence day
baby by Peter Quick, n chiIdless car
penter, and his wife, who live near
Pleasantville, \. Y, has brought about
an awful complication in Mr.. Ouick's
home.
Bright and early on the morning of
July 4 the baby was found beside the
road near Pleasantville. 1t was a smil-
Ing. bouncing girl. The finders took
the baby into the village and turned
her over to the county authorities. Be
fore she had been there long along
came Mrs. Quick, who was fond of
children and had none of her own.
How should like to have herr she
said to her husband.
We'll, you can" said he, aft they
will give her to you"
So that part of the business being
settled, they made request of the au-
thorities and after some little persua-
sion were given the child to raise"
and went or home smilingly happy.
Everything went smoothly in the
Quick home save, of course, for an oc-
casional case of baby collie. but that
Mr.. Quick and his wife didn't mind.
They had the baby and were happy to
care for her through all of It's infant
ailments.
But about ten days ago the baby de-
veloped new ailment that Peter
Quick and his good wife could not IN
derstand She was growing m inch il
day, and Peter Quick and his wife
grew more fond of her. The baby was
healthy and cooed away. goo-gooed and
smiled, but her skin had begun to be
several shades darker
At first no attention was paid to this
except that an additional dose Of medi-
cine was administered.
But the infants hair began to kinll
dnd her skin grew decidedly darker.
That settled it. The baby had some
horrible disease that was beyond
treatment at the hands of its adopted
parents. The family physician was
called in a hurry. He smiled.
No. the baby was not Ill, he said.
She was in a perfectly natural condi-
ton. The real father and mother of
the baby were evidently colored,s so it

Mrs. Sarah Alice Boyd Dead.

Sad indeed was the death of Mrs.
Sarah Alice Boyd, the beloved wife
of Mr.. Eugene Boyd, which occurred
at her home, No. SIP South Fifth
avenue, at $50 o'clock last Friday
morning She was in the full flush
and bloom of beautiful young wom-
anhood, having been only twenty-four
years of age, and her death brings
inconsolable grief to the devoted hus-
band and two little children by whom
she is survived Mrs. Boyd, who was
a victim of typhoid fever, had been
i'll six weeks, and had undergone in
tense suffering, which she bore with
Christian-like forbearance and forti-
tude. She was in the truest sense
of the word a noble woman, and her
death brings sorrow not only to the
members of her family, but to count
less friends who knew and loved her.
The funeral occurred at the family
residence at ten o'clock on Saturday
having been conducted by
Rev. w. A. Hewitt, pastor of the First
Baptist church. The interment was
at Friendship cemetery, Messrs. S. B..
Street, Jr., Leighton Lide, Robt. Hair
ston, L. w. Stevens, w. E. Kennedy
and j. H. Causey having officiated

New Candidates.

Jackson, Miss, April s. Candi-
dates for the legislature continue to
appear, and only in a few counties
have the lists been filled.
Hon. John G.. Millsaps, of West
Point, member of the lower house
from Clay, and chairman of the judi
ciary committee at the last session,
was in Jackson yesterday on legal
business, and states that he had de-
cided to ask for reelection. His
friends have promised him immunity
from opposition, and it is probable
that he will also be offered as a can
didate for speakership. Hon. VIII A
Alcorn, Jr., of Coahoma, has ambi-
tions of the same sort, and it is stated
that Col. H. M. Street, of Lauderdale
will also be a speakership aspirant.
A notable legislative aspirant is
Col. Frank Burkitt, of Chickasaw,
once a Populist candidate for vice
president on the middle-of-the-road
ticket. and the last Populist leader
in this State to return to the Demo-
cratic fold after the disbandment of
the Populist organization. He was a
member of the legislature for several
sessions prior to his DETECTION from
the party ranks.

Judges Not on Trial, Says Chief
-IuSfiCe Whitfield.

Jackson, Miss, April 2.-The de-
cision read by Chief Justice A. H
Whitfield in the supreme court last
evening, declaring that the court viii
not consider technical errors when
the right result has been reached in
criminal cases by the lower court,
strikes an effective blow at what the
mem mbers of the circuit bench and
district attorneys have made many
complaints, and it is expected that
the opinion will have a clarifying eff
feet on the legal atmosphere in this
from escaping just punishment by
the adroitness and shrewdnesS of
practitioners skilled in criminal ju-
risprudence.
The chief justice remarked during
the reading of the opinion that some
of the briefs presented to the court
by attorneys for appellants endeayor
to place the circuit Judge and district
attorney on trial, instead of discuss
ing the guilt or innocence of the de-
fendent. Assignments of error FLED
with the supreme court in behalf of
criminals are, in a majority of cases,
made up of the most trivial objec-
tions, having nothing whatever to
do with the merits of the case, or in
any way connected with the question
of whether or not the criminal receiv-
ed fair and impartial trial.
In the case that called forth this
decision the chief objection set forth
in the assignment of error filed by the
defense was that the acting district
attorney had made a memoranda on
one of the instructions given for the
State. 1t was clearly shown that this
memoranda was immaterial to the
case, and was not even read by any
member of the jury. The case in
question was State VS.. Fred Jones,
convicted in the circuit court of the
county of Leake for the murder of
Newt Wallace and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life

BILE decision will be furnished the cir

BOY KILLED BY TRAIN.
Dempsey Harrison, a Six Year Old
Negro, Was Run Over and
Killed on Yesterday.

Dempsey Harrison, siX-year-old
negro boy, was run over and killed
by the nortbound passenger train on
the Montgomery division of the Mo-
bile, & Ohio Railroad shortly after
four O'Clock Saturday afternoon. The
boy, who lived with his mother on
the Air Line road near the city linn
it's, was playing on the railway track
when the accident occurred. He was
near the water tank, which is located
several hundred yards east of the
Arkay Stave Works, when the north
bound passenger train, due to arrive
here at 1925 p. M, came along, and
being too young to realize his danger
made no effort to get out of the way
of the train, which passed over his
body, killing him instantly.
1t was impossible to see any mem
bers of the train crew, and none of
the local railroad officials seemed to
know much about the accident, so
it is not known whether the boy was
seen by the engineer in charge of
the train or not.
The father of the boy is not in the
city, but his mother visited the un
dertaking establishment to which the
body was carried, and seemed much
by her sons untimely death.

COLUMBUS THURSDAY,
Railroads Agree to Two-Cent Rate.

Jackson, Miss, April 3.-The rail-
road commission has won a decisive
victory in the diplomatic negotiations
with the passenger traffic officials of
the principal railroads operating in
the State on the two cent inter-
changeable mileage question.
Although doing so under protest,
the principal trunk lines have agreed
to obey the order of the commission,
and only the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad will contest the matter in
the courts
At the conference last evening it
was agreed that instructions will be
sent out by the Illinois Central, va
zoo & Mississippi Valley, Southern
Railway, Mobile & Ohio and Frisco
systems for the sale of interchange
able mileage books. The Illinois Cen
trail will offer the 1000 mile book for
sale at $50, with a $40 drawback at
its expiration, good not only in the
State, but on all lines of the Illinois
Central and Y. & NJ. V. roads outside
the State. The Mobile & Ohio road
will sell 1000 mile books at $40 fiat,
as will also the Queen & Crescent
system.
This is satisfactory, for the pres
ent at least" said Commissioner Kin
cannon, author of the two-cent order.
We will have litigation only with
the Louisville & Nashville road, and
that line operates only seventy-three
miles of track in the State. l believe
that the railroads realize that two
cent mileage is inevitable, and they
might as well adopt it now as later"
Today's session of the commission
was devoted to a comparison of the
Southern classification of local freight
rates with the Mississippi classified
ton, several railroads having pro-
posed to substitute the former for
the latter. The two classifications
are being given careful analysis, and
as the proposed change is one of the
most vital importance to the CONNER
cial interests of the State, it will be
kept under advisement until the next
meeting, the purpose of the commits
missioners being to give thorough re-
view of the various items in the two
c1assifications. The freight bureau
of the Jackson Board of Trade is in
clfned to favor the change.
