Neu Secretary of War.

The induction of General Luke e.
Wright, OF Tennessee into the office of
secrerI1sT ST war today, succeeding
Judge Taft was particularly Inter
esting for several reasons. Probably
most significant of all, General Wright
is the first Southerner to be secretary
of war since Jefferson Davis, half a
century ago. Even Mr.. Cleveland, who
came 10 the South for members of his
two official families, drew on the North
for the men to hold the war portfolio
in his two cabinets. 1t is more than
mere coincidence that for so many
years after the war no man south

The Street RaiIWay.

AS announced exclusively in these
columns yesterday, Hattiesburg is soon
to have street cars.
Mr.. H. S. Stevens, who has been in
New York several days this week in
the interest of the Hattiesburg Trac-
ton Company has arranged all neces-
sary details in so far as the necessary
funds are concerned and the construc-
ton man is expected to arrive in the
city before the end of the week.
But it will require several months
to construct the new power plant, to
erect the trolley poles and wires and
to get things in readiness for the
actual operation of the cars.
Be that as it may, the suspense is
over; Doubling Thomases are silenced,
and general business will experience
substantial revival in consequence
of this expression of confidence on the
part of the officers and directors of
the Traction Company.

BEAR BLOWS OUT LIGHT.
Bruin Then Escapes with Sheep in the
Darkness.

Cooper, Me.-Farmers in this town
have been grievously annoyed during
the past fortnight by the depredations
of bears, which carry off sheep faster
than the owners can raise them.
One farmer who lost five sheep with
in week decided he had contributed
enough for one season to the bear
family's support, so he built an inclos-
ure of stout timbers, into which the
sheep were driven. To further discour-
age Bruin a lighted lantern was hung
at one end of the pen. Shortly after,
hearing disturbance, he rushed into
the ward to discover a big bear walk
ing off with sheep under one arm
and the lantern across the other.
The farmer instantly pulled his gun
on the marauder, but the click of the
lock warned the thieving bear, who
laconically lifted the lantern, blew out
the light, and escaped in the darkness.
The farmer is now in need of pad
ded cell.

and after being educated at French
military schools he began to publish a
royalist newspaper in Paris, which
caused his speedy expulsion from the
republic.
He had fortune of hts own, and i'm
agined that he was destined to con-
quer worlds and rule all the con-
quered. Leaving France by govern
mental invitation he was shipwrecked
on Trinidad ard conceived the king
dom he was afterward to establish for
a minute or two. The next year he
married Anna Flagler in the United
States, but marriage, instead OF quiet
ing his restless spirit, seemed only to
incite his romantic disposition. The
Odysseys he performed were as start
ling as that of Macmillan to Mexico,
which was then fresh in the minds OF
the world, and without any manner Of
excuse excepting his own perverse de-
! sire. He roved over the world, and al
ways encountered adventures that had
no place in the life of nineteenth CEN

been entirely at home with his period.
Harden-Hickey's End.
1t was in 1894 that he set out in a
yacht with his wife. They were
wrecked off Trinidad, and the baron
set up the government he had planned
six years before. At least he began
along those lines, and got as far as
taking the title of James I. for himself
and awarding that Of Queen Anna to
his wife. His rule was so short-lived
that he did not even have opportunity
to get his extravagant plans out Of his
head even onto paper. The big island
off the Venezuelan coast was discov-
cred by Columbus on his third voyage,
and for a century before King James
proclaimed himself had belonged to
England. At the time it had British
governor and 100000 inhabitants. King
James, therefore, speedily encountered
John Bull and as quickly as the ex-
changes of the information regarding
his usurpation could be made the
SON0Inl1OhL NAOPoSNhN0 q
cruiser to deal with this brand-new
problem of colonial control.
King James and Queen Anna, at the
time constituting all the royal govern
ment, were exported to Key West, and
the king died as king for want of a
place to rule.
Harden-Hickey finally shot himself,
and the baroness brooded over his
death until she became insane and
last summer was committed to Con-
necticut asylum.

bert Won Waldersee, whose husband
was the famous German field marshal,

empress. She acquired the relation

" say Of American
born women who
have shared royal thrones:
The American woman has gone
everywhere and become everything by
marriage. There is not nobility in
the world, excepting China's, but that
has it's American woman in it, But
royal families have been of necessity
more exclusive when wives are to be
chosen for their scions and royalty has
generally evinced little prediction for
those outside of equally exalted fam
lilies, even in Europe. On the CONT
nent, in fact, it is practically true that
only those sheep blackened, or at least
sunburned, by the fierce light that
beats upon throne have married non
royal persons. Those who have made
morganatic but perfectly honorable
marriages, like Grand Duke Michael oil
Russia, are very rare.
Yet there are now living countess
widow of a king whose love for the
Boston girl changed the course Of nine

princess who actually shared a throne
or at least a palace-is still alive;

A Remarkable List.
This is q remarkable list when the
conditions and barriers to be burned
or pushed away are kept in mind. The
mere fact that every royal family is
subject to it's own laws by which mes
alliances are viewed in as serious g
light as are criminal acts under the
laws OF the non-royal is only the
smallest obstacle to be overcome. In
most European countries the SaliC
law prohibiting the inheritance of the
throne in the female line is recognized
and accordingly there is a less super
vision of the love affairs of princess
than of a prince and corresponding
care in selecting wives for the latter

Women in the province Of Shima,

the sterner sex. They do most of the
field work and are also employed as

months of the winter. They remain
under water some times for more

they place in small net carried by
each diver at the girdie. These

but as theirs is trying life the con-
