WOMEN m TIE S.H-K MARKET,
Wall Street Brokers Fave Private
Rooms fer Fair Patrons.

lhe number of women SPECTATORS
IS amazingly larGa~.-aiuch larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but Il is q fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rovms for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-
frances. There are several reasons
Tor this. One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, without
the knowledge of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this ac-
count they desire privacy, desire to
move and have their Wall street be-
ing unknown. Another reason is that
the broker himself desires it, princi-
pally, be 1t confessed, because he is
anxious that If there be any scenes
they shall be private ones, "far from
the maddening crowds ignoble strife"
and sight For truth compels the
statement that women are poorer los.
ers than men. 1t is the testimony of
conservative brokers that a woman
ga@bler is much more of a gambler
than a man---much more; that is, in
absorbing tenaciousness and almost
Vindlctiveness. She seems to be car
fled out Of and beyond herself to a de-
gree that becomes uncomfortably dis
quietins when she loses. Even when
she is Il winner. and, as have said,
the proportion cf winners to loser
among woinen is about one to twenty.

Mills Of the Hattiesburg District
Can Now Cut Them at a
Fairly Good Profit.

"The lumber business is getting on
it's legs again." as this newspaper has
said from time to time.
Prices are advancing slowly, but
steadily-and the mills are starting
up one by one.
A prominent millman said this morn
ing that car sills had advanced from
$3.50 to $14 per thousand feet within
the past few days, and still further adj
.vances are expected.
This means a great deal to this Sec
ton. Much of the smaller timber can
be worked into car sills, and there is
a fairly reasonable profit in cutting
them at the present price.
Large orders for car sills are now
being placed in this territory by the
railroads and a number of the mills
now resuming will make a specially of
this class of cuts.

Big $4,000 SUIT
MAY Be COMPROMISED
Hattiesburg is Willing to Pay the
Money Subscribed Several Years
Lawyers Now in Conference.

The litigation between citizens oi
Hattiesburg and the Mobile, Jackson
& Kansas City Railroad, involving
$4,000 subscribed to the road with
the understanding that this city was
to get main line instead of branch
will probably be settled by compro-
mise.
If the compromise is effected, Hat
tiesburg will after all get a main line
of the road to New Orleans and the
local subscribers to the fund will be
satisfied.
The citizens of Hattiesburg who had
subscribed the $4,000 to the NJ, j. &
X. c., met this morning and after
comforting with their attorneys, de-
cided to leave the matter With the
attorneys, Messrs Travis and Hill to
effect a settlement with the attorneys
of the railroad This decision makes
possible the adjustment of the dispute
at once and will mean the extension
of the road as main line to New
Orleans when the adjustment is eff
fected.
The citizens of Hattiesburg allege
that they subscribed $35, 900 to the Mo-
bile. Jackson & Kansas City with the
distinct understanding, and with the
promise by the roads representatives
that the road would be built to Hat
tiesburg instead of Laurel and Ellis
VILE and that the line to Hattiesburg
would be a main line and not branch.
They claim that they were handed
large and juicy lemon in the build
ing of the jerk-water branch which
connects this city with the woods out
at Saratoga, and that the road failed
utterly to keep it's promise in regard
to not building to Ellisville and Laurel.
They refused to pay the money when
demanded by the railroad and the
case was carried to the courts and
was tried in Laurel decision in favor
of the railroad resulting. The case
was then appealed to the Supreme
court and the decision of the lower
court reversed. Then came an
offer to compromise, and the meeting
held to day will probably result in
satisfactory adjustment of the dis
pute.
Attorney Mcintosh of the NJ, j. & X.
! c. Railroad has been in the city all
day in close conference with Messrs
Hill and Travis, who are the attorneys
for the people of Hattiesburg.
Under it's reorganization, the rail-
road is now known as the New Or
leans. Mobile and Chicago, and the
intention of the promoters is to extend
from Hattiesburg to New Orleans. If
contract to this effect can be con-
sumated. Hattiesburg is willing to pay
the $4,000 as the city would then get
what it bargained fora main line of
the road.

Three approached the front of the
house and two the rear, and when
jones attempted to escape from the
rear he was killed instantly. The
posse hunted the negro who sold the
cocaine, and if he had been found the
chances are that he would have met
