onstration and protest against the
killing of workmen by troops at Wig

strikers from Paris, carrying red flags
and singing socialist songs. While
squadron of cavalry was passing
through the streets the crowds stoned
the soldiers and four shots were fired

his men down side street in order

WHITE ISLAND.
It's Strange Lakes, Sulphur Fumes and
 Clouds of Steam.

It's Strange Lakes, Sulphur Fumes and
 Clouds of Steam.
 White island, New Zealand natu- ral wonder, derives its name from the clouds of white steam in which it ap. pears to be continually enyeloped. Its area is only 600 acres and its height about sS0 feet above the sea level.
 Tn form and color it is like repos- ing camel, while its interior. with its gray, weather beaten. almost perpen- dicular cliffs. recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhanging the southern land ing place stands column of rock closely resembling sentinel, which has been dedicated to the memory of Captain Cook. The water of the is land is of a pale green hue. and any thing dipped into 1t becomes of a red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly pcrceptible.
 On a fine moonlight right wonder ful sight is afforded to any one who will sit in an open boat fin ono of the lakes of the island. Covering an area of fifty acres is an immense caldron, hissing ard snorting md sending forth volumes of poisonous steam. while all chances of egress appear to be de- nied by the steep. silent and gloomy cliffs.-Briti5h Australian.

THE GRAMPUS GOURMET.
This Marine Monster's Prey Is the
 RoMhsad Whale.


 This Marine Monsters Prey Is the
 Bowh.ad Whale.
 "Of all the gourmets on land or water," said the captain, commend me to the grampus."
 The ladies at the captains table looked with inquirlng smiles at the handsome sailor,
 ''The grampus." he went on, Ifs a kind of orergrown shark or kind of undersized fighting whale. You can take your choice. At any rate, he is terrible creature to meet with if you happen to be aquatic.
 He and his mate travel together. Sometimes they have a friend along big. fine, strong chap, as such friends usually are. And their game is the bowhead whale.
 "When they find whale they go at him. They stick to him inyincibly. They punch and thump till he is as limp as a rope of seaweed with ex- haustion. Then, by means of one hor- rible deed. they show their unexam- pied gluttony.
 "They take hold of the whales lower lip; they hang their weight on 1t until it drops open. Then in go their heads, disappearing inside that great red mouth, that warm, moist cavern Of scarlet, and they eat in there the whales tongue, tender tidbit, very rich and delicate. "The tongue consumed, they go on their way again. leaving the whale to die slowly."-New Orleans Times Dem ocrat.

ON THE GRIDIRoN
Preparing the Training Table for the
 Yale Team.

Yale Team.
 Training for the Yale football team vii start on September IA. About thirty men will be back with Captain Burch, Coach Bigelow and Trainer Mack in charge. Among the veterans who will arrive are Burch, end; Brides, halfback; Coy, fullback; Murphy, halfbaek; Logan, end; Coon ey. center; Goebel, guard and Phil bin, quarter. ... s- .s.
 Fifteen of the men vii take up quarters at the West shore. Their days work will be cut out somewhat as follows:
 Reveille s a. m; car from the Rock for l0s1 Chapel street, where training table will be held, S:30; breakfast, 9 a. m; assemble at the Gym, 10 a. m; practice at the field for rest of forenoon: lunch 1880; af- ternoon practice at the field 3: din- ner at 6. Immediately after dinner the fifteen veterans will leave for the shore. taps s:30 p. m.
 At present 1t is tco early 10 predict much in regard to the lineup. It is quite possible that Cooney may be started in at center again. unless Coach Bigelow and Captain Burch de- eide that 1t will be better to try out one of the men from last years fresh man team. Goebel will. in all prob ability be kept at guard. and Burch at end. Murphy will likely play at halfback again this year. but as to Brides's position nothing definite has come out up 10 the present.
 For the first week the practice will consist mostly in running with the hall. falling on the ball. and. later. taekling the dummy. These tactics will occupy most of the time prior to the opening Of college, September z4.

city against M. McInnis to prevent him
from building house in, or otherwise
blocking what has been commonly
known and believed to be Jackson

Wood yesterday.
The house that blocked the street
was started in Jackson street, corner
of Third. The house was never COM
pleted because the city got out an in

Judge McInnis claimed that the city
had no right to this street-that it was

OF BALL
Hattiesbnrg Wins in the Best Game
Of the Season. Virgins Boys
Showed up Well.

Decidedly the most interesting base
ball game that has been seen on the
local diamond this year was played
yesterday by Hattiesburg and Virgins.
The latter Lost, but they put up a
game fight and made some brilliant
plays. The first four or five innings
were full of ginger and it looked
for a time that it would prove to be a
close game After Hattiesburg had
won two scores, the Virgins boys
seemed to lose hope and did not put
the vim into the latter part of the
game that they had in the first. The
following is the score:

MEAT and MILK FULL OF
DANGEROUS DISEASE germs

milk inspector for the city of Hat
tiesburg.
1t was stated that there had been
considerable complaint lately of the
kind of meat that was being sent out
from some of the markets of the city.
At least one prominent physician had
complained that most of the meat that
was being used in Hattiesburg, in
some instances, was decidedly of an
improper character for food and was
almost sure to bring about sickness.
Complaints have also been made by
other parties. 1t is believed that there
is danger of ptomaine poisoning.
The question of inspecting the milk
supplied to the city was also discussed.
1t has been discovered from investiga-
ton that a large number of tubercu-
losis cases have resulted from the use
of impure MILK 1t is said that the sta
tistics will show that over half of the
tuberculosis cases are attributable to
this cause.
AT the next regular meeting of the
council it Is probable that an ordi-
nance will be passed providing for a
careful and complete inspection of the
meants, especially the packing house
meats, which are said to be the worst,
and also for the inspection of milk
sold in the city.

that he had permitted its use, but had
never parted with it's ownership. The
city claimed it by right of adverse pos
session, setting forth that it had been
used for ten years or more without
objection.
There was an immense lot of tes-
timony, on both sides, in the case and
after hearing all this, Chancellor Wood
decided the case in favor of Judge Nc
Innis, allowing attorneys fees, and
some time today some competent car
penters will be sent out to assess the
damages which the city will have to
pay.
The case will probably go to the SUI
preme court for final adjudication.

Australla,s Wild Oysters.
Trustee and Receiver.

Oysters are sometimes regarded as
dangerous but they are not usually
considered savage A Queensland
Judge, however, has decided that they
are wild beasts. Before a royal com
mission on the pearling industry,
which has been sitting at Brisbane, q
witness stated that eight years ago ne
had laid 100000 shells In the neigh
borhood Of Friday island. The JAP.
anese stole the shells. and the district
court Judge held that as pearl shell
oysters were, wild animals there was
no penalty Ter stealing them.
