to play a trick.
1.-THE professor one morning. being UNI

able to attend to his classes today
THE students erased one letter in this
notice. making 1t read:
"'Dr. Dash, through %indispcsition. is un.
able to attend to his lasses today.'
But 1t happened a few minutes later
that the professor returned for q box he
had forgotten. Amid a roar Of laughter
he detected the change in his notice, and.
approaching the blackboard, calmly
erased n letter in his turn.

From HARPER Weekly
A negro minister from Georgia. who was
visiting friends in New York City, went
pne Sunday to the Cathedral on Fifth ave-
Elue.
He was very much impressed by the
service, especially by the choir-boys in the
professional and occasional. When he
returned to the south he resolved to in
troduce the same thing into his church.:
So he collected fifteen or twenty little
darkies and drilled them until he had them
we'll trained.
one Sunday the congregation were
greatly surprised to see the choir-boys
marching in. singing the professional. The
minister noticed that something was
wrong: the boy in front was not carrying
anything. He leaned over the pulpit, and
in order to avoid attracting attention, he
chanted in tune to the song they were
singing:
"What-have you done-with tho in
cense-pot?"
The little darby. with great presence OF
mind. chanted back:
"I-left 1t in-the aiele-it was too
damn hot"

Will Rebuild Hotel.

Jackson, Miss, May 26-(Special. 1.-The owners Of the Norvelle hotel property here, Messrs. Carnes and Jones of Nash vile and Memphis. make positive an- nouncement that hey are going to begin at once to rebuild that handsome histelry. This is the most gratifying piece of news that Jackson has received in months. The Norvelle was burned to the ground year and half ago, before 1t was a year old. It was under management of lessees, and those lessees have been the cause or the failure of the owners to rebuild thus far, contending that their lease should be renewed when the build ing was replaced, and suing the owners Tor their furnishings, etc. The owners declined to rebuild while these suits were pending, but at last the matter has been settled amicably, and Messrs Carnes and Jones state they are going to build larger, taller and better than before. The build ing destroyed by fire cost about one hun dred thousand dollars-the new hotel will cost four times that sum. and will be by long odds the handsomest hotel in Mis- sissipi. The site Is in front of the gov ernor's mansion, on the principal busi- ness thoroughfare, State street, three blocks from the new capitol and two from the old, that it is bound to get business.

Want Cotton Bagqinq.

Jackson, Miss, May 26.-tSpecial.)- w. Welch, state business agent of the Formers union, an organization with membership of about 60,000, reported that his efforts to have cotton bagging used hereafter in place of jute. are meeting with great success. He has made ar rangements with one of the cotton mills of the state to manufacture the bagging, and is having the farmers of the state pledge their support These pledges have already been sent in from several of the county unions. in some instances accompanied with orders for the goods. The Farmers union estimates that if they can secure the wrapping of the greater portion of Mississippfs cotton bales In cotton bagging, they will have created a market and a demand for many thousand bales of inferior cotton and keep good money at home. Several years ago the Alliance tried the same scheme. but the Alliance went to pieces when it broke into politics, and the cotton bag ging enterprise went along With it.

series, and Thursday, Meridian opens for three games.
 letter received yesterday from Red Wright says that Columbus suffered no little last week from the faulty de- cisions of Umpire Brady. There is every reason to believe this, for on the occa- sion of Brady's last visia to colum- bus he was very severe on the local twirl- CTS. Manager Wright says that at Merid- Ian last Monday. Tuesday and Wednes- day the Columbus pitchers had to throw four or more strikes to a Meridianite to get him struck out, while any Columbus batter was called out when two real strikes had been given him. All around the circuit the Discoverers have had the hot end of the deal all the way through. There is no discountng this fact. Every press account has given this state of af- fairs as the case, and 1t seems that the youngest member of the league is be- ing pushed as close to the wall as pos sble.

 Poor Montgomery. The Pretzels started with fast outfield in Apperious, Houtz and McCann. Of that trio, Houtz alone remains.
 That game in New Orleans was cork CT and must have pleased the Sunday crowd that gathered to see it. For near ly seventeen innings it ran, and neither side could win.
 Page booted the sphere splendidly in New Orleans yesterday. If he does that well in Birmingham today, another game will be added to the already long list of victories.
 Harry Matthews got one hit out of seven trials, which for him is excellent. In addition, the gold brick" allowed one passed ball, which Is going at terrific rate
 After all there were two games in the Southern league yesterday, one in New Orleans between the Pelcans and the Travellers, and the other in Memphis be- tween the Memphii and the Nashville az gregation. Neither game was scheduled.
 Chicago defeated the New York High flanders yesterday. Towards the end of the game Griffith substituted himself for Orth, and is charged with having at tempted to delay the game until rain could interfere. This charge is not con- sistent with the opinion that is locally held for the Highlander chieftain.
 What a blow that defeat must have been to overall. He was sold by Cincin- natl at the beginning of the season to Chicago, with which club he has starred When Chicago went down to Redland, 1t was natural that Overall should desire to pitch against the men who cast him adrift, and natural that Chance should grant his request.
