GILLETTE'S BRAIN
TO Be STUDIED BY
FAMOUS MEDICOS

Philadelphia, April 4.-Scientific
study will be made to determine
whether the brain of Chester E. Gil
lette, who paid the death penalty for
the murder of Grace Brown, differs in
any respects from the accredited nor
NAL brain. DR.. E. A. Spitzka, profes-
sor of general anatomy at Jefferson
college and a recognized expert on
anthropometry, who attended the legal
killing of Gillette at Auburn on Mon
day. today received the brain for
scientific examination.
DIR. Spitzka says from general APP
pearance Gillette's brain is thoroughly
normal. being, in fact, above the aver
age weight and indicating that the
murderer was sane and healthy.
Several months will be required for
complete study of the specimen.

Excellent Spring Business.

With two more weeks yet remaining
before Easter, the merchants Of Hat
tiesburg have every reason to fe-
licitate themselves on the splendid
business of the spring season.
While trade has not been as heavy
as during some of the previous years,
it has been much better than most
people expected, and the Daily News
is confident that the volume in Hat
tiesburg will compare most fayorabfy
with that of any other city of similar
size in the country.
The real progressive stores have
been crowded for the past week or
ten days, and a majority of them will
continue so for the present week, at
least.
Those who have not already made
their Easter purchases will do well to
read the store advertising in this issue
of the Daily News. Several Of the
cty's best merchants have attractive
announcements, end the prices in
most instances will surprise you. The
values offered could scarcely be dup

American Music.

Even the severest critic Of American
music-and most Of the critics vie with
each other for this title-cannot deny
the presence of an extraordinary and
ever increasing creative impulse In
American musical art. While. for rea-
sons to be considered. few American
works in large forms come to general
public performance and scarcely to
local. every year witnesses notable
increase of orchestral works. chamber
music, piano and vocal works in large
forms aud. other compositions by
American composers OF smaller piano
compositions and songs. the seasons
bring forth an appalling quantity and
too often. tbs true. an appalling quail,
~ as well. Yet In the midst Of this
saturnaiia appear many works Of true
distinction. OF breadth and beauty
works infinitely IN advance Of those
usually chosen to represent American
music on artists programmes. And
from time to time an American opera
rises from the composers conscious
ness to completion to perform
ance-and sinks again into q mystic
rious obscurfty. oblivion or temporary
neglect. we are .fain to know which

Gle thing I know, that, whereas I
was once blind, now I see."
Gould anything be more conclusive
than that?
Here was a man who had been blind
from his birth. This is certainly a
condition which no one with normal
optical faculties can understand. 9th
ers had told him Of the grandeur of
the hills and the glory of the stars.
For him all this had been a closed
book Even the face of the mother
which had bent over him in childhood
and cared for him upward through the
years, he had never seen.
One day Gaklean passed that way.
His fame has preceded him. 1t was
told that he had done many marvellous
things. His attention was called to
the case of the man who had been
born blind
How readily he offered His aid.
The magic touch was applied and soon
he to whom the world had been a
thing of darkness began to shake its
impenetrable pail. The light broke
through. He who was once blind
could now see.
There is nothing like hard fact to
dissipate fantastic theory. Light
only can cause the darkness to fee
Truth alone can dissipate error.
There are plenty of people to de
nounce the Man of Galilee as an in.
poster. They would not believe the
wonderful things they had hear about
him, Others who hesitated to de.
nounce were simply incredulous. The
man whose sight had been restored
dismissed the theories of the skeptics
One thing he knew. and that wa:
that. whereas he was once blind, he
could now see.
A parallel illustration may be found
in the world today. Men and women
are doubling the transforming power
of divine truth because they canno
understand how such things can pos
sibly be. But above the clamor o.
the doubters is heard the clear ant
unfaltering testimony of those whC
have made investigation and obtained
the sublime Misunderstanding assur
ance.
IF any man do His will HE SHALL
KNOW" This is the unfailing ties
which will eventually remove tn
scales from the eyes of men and brini
them into the sunlight of eterna
truth.

the fact that several columns of live

Advertising force was recruited from

matter in type within the limited time

are not frequent, and while the Daily

of the advertising business entrusted
to its care. IT is best for all concerned
that advertising copy be sent to the

Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Moselle. Miss, April 4.-The most
important news item of the past week
indeed for many months SO far as
regards Moselle's material interests
Twas the visit of Prof e. B. Ferris, the
rel known and capable director of
ruth Mississippi experiment station,
|located at Mcneil.
Prof. Ferris came up Tuesday morn
ing at 10:45 for the purpose of look
ing over the stump extraction work
being carried on so extensively by
Mr.. P. NJ. Ikeler. AS quickly as his
presence was made known DR.. Gran
ford rendered his buggy in which
Mayor Hearn drove him down to the
nearest point where stumps were be-
ing pulled. From there they drove
down to Mr.. Ikeler's mill plant and
were escorted through there where
Mr.. keller Joined them. BY p. m. they
had driven through the largest area
of stump-denuded land and Professor
Ferris then went home with Mayor
, Hearn for dinner.
Although dozens Of the most prom.
inent men all wanted the honor OF
his taking dinner with them. But
Mr.. Hearn's claims were strongest as
he claimed that for many reasons
Prof. Ferris should go with him.
Immediately after dinner Messrs
Ferris and Hearn took DIR. Buffers
buggy and drove again into the mann
moth stump-pulling works to allow
Prof. Ferris to study in detail the diff
ferent phases of the works He took II
different pictures showing the stumps
as they were partially pulled, the
machine and teams, the stumps piled
etc. He also took down many notes
from Mr.. keller, whom he asked many
questions and all will be worked
into a bulletin which will be very
valuable to the people of this section
Professor Ferris said that it was
the biggest pioneer work of improve
ment that he had yet witnessed In
South Mississippi and he also said
that 1T was wonderful how well ad
verified it was-the fact that Mr.
keller was carrying on this great
work. He said that people at every
place kept asking him about it unit
he became ashamed that he could
not answer them, hence he came tt
get thorough knowledge of the worl
and did not hesitate to say 1t was o.
far greater magnitude than he imag
ined it to be. 1t goes to show tina
the full extent of good that will b,
derived by South Mississippi by Mr.
IkeIer's example in this work is nov
bearing fruit. Prof. Ferris left OIL
fast train at 5 p. m, 1T stopping espe
cially to pick him up.
