BACKING IT UP.

"Show me a man who thinks he
has bad cold, gentlemen" exclaim-
ed the stranger who had secured the
town hall for free illustrated lee
ture, "and I'll show you a fraud"
Instantly sixty-three men in the
audience rose up.
'There's your fraud, gentlemen"
said the lecturer, throwing a pic
ture of the celebrated Cardiff giant
on the screen.
"And now, my friends" he con-
tinued, 'while you are looking at
this monumental example my as

British Justice.

A singular decision has just been
rendered in England by the chief
justice. Mr.. Pearson, publisher of
a newspaper, runs an advertisement
offering financial advice free to any
applicant. An investor applied and
was referred to a stockbroker, who
turned out to be a cheat, although
neither Pearson nor the other man
knew it. The stockbroker received
the investors money-$7, 000-and
made way with it, and now the court
orders Pearson to repay it. Such 8
decision is characteristic. 1t is prob
able that no judge here could have
been found to decide in such a way
on such a state of facts. Here a
man is supposed to be able to take
care of his money himself if he has
any-NeW York World.

Died at Rockport.

A telegram has been received by
Charles Dorsett, announcing the
death of his sister, Mrs. Gabriel
Rose, which occurred at Rockport,
Texas, Tuesday, Oct. %, at three
p. m. The sad news brings great
sorrow to the relatives and friends
of the deceased here. Mrs. Rose
was formerly Miss Mary Dorset,
daughter of Mrs. L. Dorset, who
resided at Brownsville for num-
of years.
She. leaves, besides her husband,
three little boys, the youngest only
a month old. Her aged mother,
one sister, Miss Susie Dorset, and
two brothers, Charles and William
Dorsett, also survive. Much SYM
pathy is felt for the bereaved fami-
ly, and especially for the grief
stricken husband and three helpless
babes. Mrs. Rose had been i'll for
several months, suffering with
tuberculosis, which was the cause
of death. She was buried yester-
day at Rockport, which was her
native home

Sunshine In London.

Not only was the sunshine Of last
year much in excess of the average,
but, except at some places in the

MEMPHIS UNDER WATER
Isreak in Leyee Floods Large Portion
of the City-1OO Families
Forced to Flee.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. MANY
people are moving from their homes
in the northern part of the city, as
a result of break in the protection
levee built by the city of Memphis
a year ago. The levee gave away
today and the district north of Pop
lar boulevard and west of Fourth
street is now under two feet of wat
er.
If the river reaches stage of Al
feet, which seems today probable, a
larger area near the business portion
of the city will feel the effects of
the food
A steady rain was recorded in the
vicirity of Memphis last night. The
river this morning marks 1913 feet.
Later in the day a small leyee pro-
tecting the section between Overton
and Concord streets sprung a leak
and within short time Third street
north of Auction street, was inun-
dated.
Probably one hundred families,
mostly negroes, have been removed
from the flood section. The yards
of several lumber companies in north
Memphis have been flooded and
much lumber has fioated away.
Word has been received Of the
drowning, through the capsizing of
a skiff yesterday, of six negroes in
the backwaters of the Forked Deer
river.
