CHRISTENING GIFTS FOR
 THE SEASONS INFANT

ribbon run through the beading around the neck Of the sacque and also around the bottom of the cap. This holds the cap and sacque together and is also used to tie the sacque at the throat.
 Another sacque is made in a ribbed pat tern, thes ribs ending in points, which form the border of the sacque. The hood which goes with this sacque is pointed and there is little bunch of ribbon on the extreme point. There is a row of bearing between each of the rows of points or ribs which form the saeqne, and ribbon is run from top to bottom through the entire sacque and the sleeves. While the ribs which make the saeque are com- posed of obtuse angles, the ribs of the hood are in straight lines. There is a beading around the hood and ribbon is run through this.
 Babies crawling rugs are growing con- stantly in favor. and the fashionable baby may soon have to possess a special re- ceptacle for his crawling rugs accommo- dation when they are off duty. All nur- sery rhymes are now to be had pictured on crawling rugs, and a fortunate child may soon acquire quite little library of these old favortes done in felt and blanket material. The figures are some of them outlined with linen thread, while others are applqued, different colored felts, f1annels, etc., being used for this purpose. The title of the piece is laid out in the middle of some of the rugs, while the illustrations which tell the story are used as a border ''Who Killed Cock Robn?' is done dramatically in black and scarlet appliqued on a white, gray or tan ground. Almost all the nursery rhymes are carried out in similarly appropriate color schemes. Pastel tints and other refinements ill color are not popular in crawling rugs.
 There is also the picture coyerlid, which is made of linen, the border being made of colored linen pictures which have been cut out and appliqued with linen thread. Some of these coverlids also have the de- signs embroidered in outline on a back ground stamped, or rather printed, in color. Part of the design, in other words, is carried out by the printing in coors and part by the outlining in thread. The designs for these little coverlids are not so dramatic as those on the crawling rugs. Quiet, soothing scenes are repre- sented usually on the little coverlids. Chl- dren and animals in pleasant groups, flowers, little quiet scenes, etc., are the favorite decoration. The tragedies and comedies of Mother Goose are usually reserved for the crawling rugs.
 Then there is the baby's toilet box, which is somewhat new and may be made by the amateur needlewoman. The box is not very large, possibly nine inches square and about five inches deep. There are compartments for powder box, puff, comb and brush, etc. The box is covered with pale pink, pale blue or white moire silk, and a garland of ribbon flowers, very tiny and delicate, decorates the top.

The body of trustees indorsed President Hardy's action, but Welborn has remained, and has had a great deal to say in his own behalf and against the head of the col lege in the newspapers. He has also flooded the legislature with circulars de- nuneiatory of President Hardy and de- manding legislative investigation.

GOVERNOR NOEL
 |S VERY WRATHY He Proposes to Deal HarshIy
 Mob Element INVESTIGATION AT HAND Governor Declares That Parties Must Answer For Actions at Brook
 haven and Such Must
 Not Occur Again.

Jackson. Miss, February 11.-(special) J. As an aftermath to the lynching at Brookhaven. Governor Noel announces certain conditions as regards similar out breaks in future. The governor was en- phatic in declaring that before another such disgraceful affair should occur he would use the entire National Guard of the state, if necessary, to prevent it. He said he has sent for the sheriff of Lin coin county and Judge Wilkinson and will carefully go over the entire matter with these officials. He was undecided as to what methods would be pursued in deal ing with the members of the mob and would be until he has advised with the sheriff and judge, but wanted 1t under stood that he would enforce the law and that the guilty parties would be brought to justice so far as it was in his power to do so. The sheriff and Judge Wilkin- son are expected to arrive in Jackson in a day or two, possibly tomorrow, at which time the affair will be thoroughly gone over.
 The governor said; 'I want it emphati- cally understood that will leave no step untaken to bring to justice the members of the mob. They have violated the law. and in turn must face the law and be punished accordingly. Such outrages will not be tolerated and I expect to use every effort to bring them to justice"
 In speaking of the future protection of prisoners by the military the governor said it was his intention to allow tho commanding officer of the troops to have absolute command, but act in harmony and conjunction with the civil authorities He said henceforth the question of who shall give the command to fire" will be with the power of the officer command ing. It was not his intention to criticise the civil authorities, but that when the military were in control they should have absolute control, so far as not to conflict with civil law.
 Asked as to a state eonstabulary. simi- lar to those existing in some of the east ern and western statts, the governor said he intended to take the matter under con- sideration. At this time he could not venture an opinion, but that such force well organized, would without doubt be a potent factor in keeping down the law less element of the state, especially wan dering and idle negroes.

Years and years ago, in the dear, sim pie old days that we are always regret ting, it used to be considered that baby was fairly we'll provided for by it's parents friends when it received on it's advent into the world a beautiful hand made christening robe. silver mug. in- fantile table implements, including a4pap spoon, knife, fork and ordinary spoon and a string coral. says an ex- change Today the list of presents which welcomes newcomer to this supposedly cold hearted wolrd is long enough to deceive him into thinking it the most rosy of spheres. He must have any number of things to wear, in- cluding a garment for every occasion of an infants existence, state robes and neglgees, wraps and caps bootees and furs, mufflers, mittens, saeques and shawls of infinite variety. All these are now considered suitable presents for the baby, as are also the furnishings of the infant boudoir, the baby carriage, dtn- ing service. etc. In fact, however large the circle of his parents friends, they may all be quite sure that their gifts are neeQpQ to d1u lo tit aiio3 II 4fAN7NNA Baby is to come into the world as well provided as his fellows.
 one of the most charming gifts for the newly arrived infant is Greenland quilt made from the skin of the cider ducks. with the down outside. The color is the softest most charming gray. mixed with white. and the quilts have border made of the gray and white feathers arranged in a pattern They are lined with white or pale gray silk, cashmere, cider cloth, velveteen or corduroy. They are as soft and warm as fur and much lighter in weight These quilts are for use on the perambulator and the rugs are made in the same fashion. This is a most charm ing gift for an infant and may of course, be kept over until next season if the baby arrived too late to go out before warm weather.
 There are the most charming infants sacques which may be croeheted by the woman who is clever at that sort of thing and who wishes to make a really desirable and useful gift at moderate cost. One of these crocheted sacques is made with round hood The hood is attached to the sacque by ribbons only so that either sacque or hood may be worn separate from each other.
 The sacque is made with a border Of deep scallops all around. The sleeves are quite full and finished at the bottom with a crocheted beading through which nar- row ribbon is run There are no scallops on the bottom of the sleeve and the sleeve is quainter without them The top of the sacque is finished with a deep eroeheted beading. through which rather wide rib bon can be run.
 The hood which goes with this sacque is rather large and round in shape, the fullness being gathered in to the face with an elastic. There is bow on top of the head and a border of scallops all around except on the bottom, where there is row of beading instead. There is a

The Fight On SIaton.

Another of the political aspirants for whom the administration has its big stick in soak is Speaker John M. Slaton of the house of representatives.
 Speaker Slaton had scarcely announced his candidacy for election to the senate from this, the Thirty-fifth distrist coupled with the statement that if elected he would be candidate for president of the senate, than the opposition in the person of H. Y. MeCord, a well known wholesale grocer and an administration enthusiast. made it's appearance
 But that is not all. Should Speaker Saton succeed in beating his opponent, as his friends assert he will have lit tie trouble iri>doing, another gauntlet has been prepared for him. Hon. H. w. , Burrell of Hancock, a member of the present house, strongly indorsed by Gov ernor Smith. is coming to the next sen ate with the avowed intention of making the race for the presidency of that body
 Republican Row.
 Conditions are ripe in the ranks of the Georgia republicans for just about the same sort of a row as that recently chronicled in the press dispatches from St. Augustine where the Florida repub- licans few days ago held their con vention
 Present indications point strongly to contesting delegations being sent from Georgia to Nthe Chicago convention. On the one side the officeholders. or lilly whites" are lined up back of the admin istration, where they will stay as long as it looks as if the administration is going to win out. But if the administra- tion should develop weakness indica- tive of defeat, there will undoubtedly be "a scrambling of the officeholding ele- ment for the bandwagon, whoever may be driving it. This is the record of the Georgia republicans; they usually hold their conventions as late as possible with a view to ascertaining first which way the cat is going to jump.
 On the other hand the outs composed largely of the negro element, are, osten- sibly, lined up back of Senator Foraker, supposedly because of his attitude in the Brownsville affair.
 There will. therefore, De an officehold- ing delegation with credentials from the state committee, and an independent del egation supposed to be back of Foraker but undoubtedly. ready to take anything coming its way.
 The Chicago convention's credentials committee will, therefore. have to pass upon the merits of the two delegations, as well as upon contestng delegations from various other southern states.
 The prospects are therefore, that the republican credentials committee will have an influential if not a controlling. candidate That would seem to be a good place at least for the candidates to get in their work.

In a general way it is expected that Governor Smith will take some hand in these contests, as he is to be governor for three years more and his success in that office depends largely upon the attitude of the general assembly towards his poli- ces.
 In fact, Governor Smith has already stated that he proposed to make several speeches in various sections of the state prior to the June primary. As he will be unopposed for reelection, it is nat ural to suppose that these speeches will be made with view to directing, insofar as Is possible, the results of the legis- lative contests. The governor it will be recalled, promised some time ago that he would have something to say about those candidates for legislative honors who refused to support the admnistra- tion reforms. There are not few such candidates now in the field, and it will be interesting to note whether the warn ing or threat is put into execution
 It is said as a result of changed con ditions that even the present legislature, which was elected at the same time with Governor Smith, and upon the reform idea, will hardly go to the same extent in carrying out some of his ideas, as 1t was ready to do at the last session. The fact that a number of the proposed reforms failed of enactment at that ses- sion, presumably because of a lack of time, is one of the things that kept Gov ernor Smith out of the race for the Sen ate. There is, therefore, no little interest in what the legislature will do at it's meeting this summer.
 At all events, whatever Is done, the trial of former Railroad Commissioner Joseph M Brown is expected to furnish the piece de resistance of the session. Commissioner Brown is going to fight his summary suspension by the governor to the bitter end, and the question involved will prove a pretty test of the extent to which reasons must be furnished when the governor makes use of such sum mary power

TEST CASE
Filed by Soldier Dis
charged as Result of
Brownsville Riot is
Attracting Attention


New York, May 4.-The first court
action testing President Roosevelts s
authority to summarily dismiss mem
bers of companies B, c and d of the
twenty-fifth infantry, colored, for the
riots at Brownsville, Texas, on Au-
gust 13, 1906, came up this afternoon
before Judge Hough in the United
States district court. The case is that
of Oscar w. Ried. private in Com
pany G who has brought suit against
the United States to recover $122.26
the amount of pay the soldier would
have earned between the time he was
dismissed on November 16, 1906, until
July 18. 1907, the date of the expir-
alton of the term of his enlistment.
Private Reid was one of the SOL
6iers concerned In the early events
Of the evening on which the town of
Brownsville was shot up.
Phe Reid suit is recognized as a
test case, and IL he recovers on the
action similar suits will be instituted
by the other discharged soldiers.
The case came up today on the ar
gument on petitioner Reid's demurrer
to section Of the governments an
swer. The contention of counsel for
Reid was that the relations between
the soldier and the government
amounted &c q civil contract which
the president had no authority to alb
rogate. District Attorney Stimson
maintained that as the president
clearly has an authority to dismiss
without trial an officer of the army
he certainly has pow er to dismiss a
private.
At the end Of the argument, which
lasted until z o'clock tonight, Judge
Hough said he would require argu-
ment to show that the relation be-
tween the government and the SOL
dier amounted to a civil contract and
to show whether congress had ever
transferred It's right to dismiss SOL
diers to the president. Briefs COW
ering these points are to be handed
70 Judge Hough before Wednesday.
