Emma, the five-months-old baby of Mir. and Mrs. w. II. Watson of Meridian, Miss. died this morning at the home of John Skates, an uncle of Mrs. Watson. Mrs. Watson was in this city on a visit and had only been here few days when the little girl was taken suddenly ill. The funeral arrangements have not been made yet, awaiting the arrival of MT. Wat son from Meridian. The funeral will be in charge of Jacobs X Son.
 Gus Armstrong, who has been at the Feeders hospital for the past few days, suffering from injuries received in an ac- cident at the mines, is very much better and was moved to his home in Jonesboro this afternoon in Jacobs ambulance.

MERCHANTS PLATED OVER GOOD TRADE Much Better Than Expected
 in BeSSemer EARLY SHOPPING URGED p. T. DiffIy, Who Was Thrown From Delivery Wagon, Is Resting Well. Personal and General News
 of Bessemer.

Bessemer, December 7.--(Special.) .)-Most of the merchants in this city expressed the belief yesterday that business would be good during the day, from the fact that there were a good many pay days scheduled for the day, and while the amount of money paid out would not amount to quite as much as 1t had for the pasrt few months, still there would be a good deal in circulation, and for that reason it was fair to assume that business would be boosted considerably.
 The business that has been done by the merchants today far surpassed anything that they had expected. There were lots of money in the city and trading gener- ally was good throughout the day and this evening everyone that does any busi- ness at all is well pleased with the day s business.
 It is admitted on all sides that the situation is fast clearing up and the spirit of unrest that has prevailed for the past few weeks is fast wearing away.
 Both of the banks report a good busi- ness for the past week, and the general outlook is very encouraging The largest pay day that the immediate district en- joys took place today. when the following places paid off: Smiths mines, Reeder's mines, Fossell mines, Woodward Iron company and Blue Creek. These pay days are always looked forward to with much interest by the merchants in this city

Prince Pierre Strozzi-'Pierrot" as all Florence called him-is dead. This Ital- ian nobleman never did anything in the course of his existence worthy of special mention, and his death even would not be worth recording if it did not bring into question the ownership of the famous palace which bears his name, and which constitutes one of the artistic glories of Italy.
 The Strozze palace, as a matter of fact, belongs to the wife of this nobleman Countess Sophie Branicka, or, rather, If it does not belong to her, she has raised mortgages on it to the extent of 10000 francs, which is much higher than it's real value,
 So this splendid monument passes into the hands of a Russian who may do what he likes with it, unless the government wishes to buy it or to appropriate it by law. The Italian journals say that this splendid residence must not become the prey of an American millionaire.
 As in former years Pau is now about to receive its faithful colony of Amer jeans and English-especially Americans, who are attracted not only by the mild ness of the climate and the cloudless sky, but also and above all by it's famous fox hunts of the Pau Hunt. which has been in existence for more than 60 years.
 
 Whip C. H. Ridgway of Philadelphia, the successor of MT. Gordon Bennett, Lieu tenant Colonel Talbot, and others. As a matter of fact, it is much more steeple- chase than hunt. and all the hard riders of Europe have in turn been seen here.
 I was once a witness of the following:
 In a river which crosses the country there suddenly appeared above the water two little legs, and from all sides a cry went up, Mrs. Morgan is drowning," The hounds were stopped.
 It was the first time for 20 years that such interest had been taken in a fol- lower of the hounds at Pau. But there was no need at all for any alarm. The valiant horsewoman started swimming and without the help of anyone got out of the water. In the twinkllng of an eye she was again on her horse stream ing with water, but beaming and only waiting for the sun and the wind to dry her

Hurry Up Call To Shoppers.

The merchants in the city would ap- preoiate it very much if the shoppers would make q special effort to do their shopping as early as possible, from the fact that during the three or four days just before Christmas there Is always an out -of-town crowd of shoppers, and it naturally means that there will be a large rush. By shopping early the cus- toners will have ample time to select what they Want and the clerks will be enabled to give them better service.
 The last few days are always the worst, both on the shoppers and the people con- nected with the stores. The merchants are looking forward to large Christmas trade and it will greatly facilitate mat ters if the public will get out and do their shopping before the grand rush takes place.
 The merchants In most instances have prepared for the holidays on a lavish scale. The little tables, the real fore runners of Christmas, week, have made their appearance on the sidewalks and they are loaded down with everything that goes to make the little girls and boys happy.

 The Elks lodge in this city expects to eclipse all former efforts in the Christmas tree lne this year, and arrangements are going forward on a large scale. Alex Little and Lige Canoles, two of the hardest workers in the lodge, have been busy for the past month getting things in shape, and it now only remains for the day to come when many poor little heart will be made glad. The United Charities will also give to the poor. as will also the Salvation Army. These or ganizations deserve great deal of credit for the amount of real charitable work they do each year, and the work done for the past year has been extremely gratty- ing.
 Regular services will be held in all of the churches tomorrow, both morning and evening, the morning services at II o'clock and the evening services at 7:30 o'clock. Services will be held at St. Alloy sius Catholic church in the morning at o'clock and 10:30 o'clock, and in the evening a 7:30 o'clock.

GOSS|PS TALKING
 ABOUT THE KING Present Favorite Is Marooned In
 Home Near Paris A GIANT PRINCESS BRIDE The Feet and Hands of the Bride-To- Be of Prince George of Greece
 Are Described as Some
 thing Enormous.
A GIANT PRINCESS BRIDE
BY MARQUIS DE cAsTELLANE.

Paris, December 7.-lSpecial cable.)- There has been d great deal of talk late iy about the King of the Belgians. Like Louis XIV, from whom he descends iu q direct line, he is fond of surrounding himself with favorites.. Sometimes hs chooses them from among opera dancers and chorus girls, sometimes in the aristo- cratic families of his lItIle kingdom.
 His present favorite belongs to the sec ond category. She, cleverer, or clumsier, according to the point of view from which one looks at it, has had the hap piness of making her old lover of 75 years a father. The happy event could not take place in Brussels without a scandal breaking out. so King Leopold decided to take her away and for this purpose he hired in the neighborhood of Paris a beautiful country house, called the Chateau de Lormy where the lady gave birth to a son.
 The King, who is very much in love with his idol and very proud of his pa- ternity, now tries to deceive his sub jects, and for this purpose has thought of nothing better than to invent an in- Jury to his foot, which, according to the news agencies, necessitates his presence
 
 the attention of a specialist
 So the information runs, "The King of Belgium has rut his heel" and "The King of the Belgians heel is getting bet ter" In fine, since the case of the heel of Achilles no heel has ever made so much fuss in the world as Leopold's.
 I mentioned a few days ago in this col umn what was thought of the very mer- cenary union of Prince George of Greece with the daughter of Prince Roland Bonaparte, but what l did not give was 8 description of this young Princess.
 Has she sufficient grace and elegance to efface the vulgarty of her origin?
 She is tall-very tall even-and her face bears the impress of the severity which can hardly be called beauty, while her feet and hands are enormous, as every one has found out through the recent exhibition of her rousseau. One would almost think that it was a man dressed up as a woman instead of a young French girl, and the Grand Duchess Via dlmir of Russia. who went to see the show, Is reported to have said: For a Royal Princess, they might have short ened her shoes a bit.'
 A young girl with Parisian wit who was also present, asked her companions if there would ever be money enough to pay for them all. If Princess Bona parte is not French IS regards her beauty, neither Is she in respect to ger tastes and talents. She is neither a musi- elan nor a poetess nor has any talent in art
 An astronomer? And will her presence in Athens add another star to the sky of Greece?

WoMAN'S SENSE OF HONOR.
Her Special Code for Conduct Toward
Her Husband.

A writer in Pail Mall Magazine says
that a well known American warder
said to him: 81 have been III prisons
for men and in prisons for women.
Discipline in the former is child's play
compared with the latter. AS DON rs
a man realizes there is no use in re-
sisting he gives in. But the women,
even when we put them in straight
jackets, always manage to extricate
at least one finger and to agitate that
in a rebellious manner!"
In the matter of conduct toward
husbands and consideration due to the
'better half there is an especial code
of honor. 1t has the stability that
sanction by women of all countries
gives it, but it does not resemble any
code that a man would observe toward
another man, nor which a woman
would employ toward any human-ex-
cept her, husband. This code includes
the right to search pockets, consult
notebooks, open letters, read those al
ready opened. 1t includes the right to
confound household and personal ac-
counts, to use on self the money in
tended by the master of the house for
paying bills. This system is not fire.
quently practiced, perhaps, and less
frequently admitted, no doubt, yet we
remember one newly married woman
who announced as a little triumph:
When / buy myself something / don't
like | just sell it to the house!"
The peculiar indulgence which the
conjugal state seems TO call for as re.
CARDS the weaker sex in matters of
honor more or less delicate was thus
strikingly summarized by a philan.
~thropist accustomed to all sorts n
conditions of people. Among the poor
whom she visited there was a women
who in a fit Of rage or jealousy had
killed a man. In relating to ME the
case the philanthropist concluded sad.
ly: Eyes, she killed him, and he
wasn't even her husband!"

PEARLS INCREASE IN PRICE.
Few New Ones In Market-Fisheries Of
Ceylon Closed Down for One Year.

Few New Ones In Market-Fisherles Of
ceylon Closed Down for One Year.
A good deal has been said about
the high prices at a recent sale OF
jewelry in auction rooms and surprise
has been expressed that one pearl
necklace alone should have sold for
G6,800.
A representative Of the Tribune had
an interview on the subject yesterday
with A. G.. Maginnis, joint managing
director of a goldsmith's and a silver
smiths company. Mr.. Maginnis said
G6,S00 vas by no e an excep-
tional sum for a pearl necklace. g"
have had the identical necklace in my
hand this morning" he continued,
land / certainly do not think 1t was
dear at the price. But we have in
stock here a number which are far
more valuable. At the Paris exhibit
ton Of 1900 we had a white pearl
necklace on show, the price of which
was 100000. Such prices as G25,-
600, 100000 and $4,000 are not at
all uncommon.
"The reason that pearls bring in
such enormous prices is that fine
specimens are scarce. First, they must
be perfectly round, then they must
match. Not one in a thousand is per-
fectly round. Then necklaces are usu-
ally made so that the pearls are large
in front and taper off gradually at the
back. This adds to the difficulty Of
matching them. To make up a really
well matched necklace may take years.
Undoubtedly the price has gone up
during the last ten years, and it is
still going up. This is due partly to
an increased demand. Then the COM
pany which took owe the Ceylon pearl
fisheries about a year ago is closing
them down for twelve months to ena-
BILE the oysters to r%ecuperate. There
fore, during the next year or so very
few new pearls will come into the
market"

100000 ACRES TAKEN.

Three Months Work In Federal Land
Office at Rapid City Is Given Out.
One of the most interesting and ac.
curate gauges Of the rapidity with
which the country in the vicinity at
Rapid City is filing up with settlers
Is the quarterly report Of the register
and receiver Of the Rapid City United
States land office, G. p. Bennett, which
has just been made public. The re-
port shows that approximately $780,.
600 acres of land have been filed upon
or taken up by settlers during the
three months which ended Sept. 30.
There were in all 1.725 entries on land.
which are classified in several ways.
There were 1,201 original homestead
entries, which covered 5000 acres:
since Oct /, 201 more, containing 49,
900 acres, have been filed; Al final
desert land entries, 73 final entries, SO
public sales, so original desert land
entries, 8 on mineral land, 2 on coal
land, 40 on timber and stone lands, and
20 by old soldiers. The cash receipts
for the Office for the three months
were $62, 900, which Is considerably
above normal.
The land taken up lies mostly east
OF here, and includes twelve whole
townships. Iowa, Nebraska and Min
