BURIAL COST FOUR MILLION
Funeral Cortege Was Weird, Bril-
liant and Barbaric.

Acknowledgment Richmond P.
Hobson of Alabama has brought suit for
sander against Congressman John a.
Keliher of Massachusetts, in the United
States court here. He places the dam
ages to his reputation at 100000.
The suit is the result of statements al
legged to have been made by Congress-
man kehher on the night before the close
of an exciting primary campaign for
congress in the Ninth district, when Keli-
her beat former Congressman Joseph \.
Conry for the nomination and won what
no other Democrat has ever won in that
district-a fourth term III congress.
The statement obnoxious to Congress-
man Hobson and credited to Congress
man Keliher was to the effect that Con-
gresham Hobson did not come to Bos-
ton Just before the primaries solely be-
cause of his interest in large Amer
lean navy, but because he had been paid
to come by Martin NJ. Domarney, the
ward leader, who was supporting Mr..
Gonry.

Old Ladies Home Opened.


One more institution. eleemosynary in
its nature. and one that will be an ever
lasting credit and honor to Mississippi 5
matchless womanhood. her mothers,
wives and daughters. and incidentally to
the manhood of the State, which has fol-
lowed their patient and efficient leader

institution is the fulfilment of a dream
Of years; the idea originated in the minds
Of those who realize that there are or
phans of an elder growth who are in that
condition that would warrant the exist
enee of Just such home for their mar
rowing years; who, while deserving OF
the charitable and philanthropic consid-
Grafton of the world of means or compe-
tence. would vet shrink from any overt
effort to attract its attention OF secure
its eIeemosynary Benefits. For such the
Old Ladies Home has been developed, and
for such its portals are open and viii re
main open as long as the womanhood of
Mississippi continues thoughtful and un-
selfish and its manhood chivairous and
devoted.
The building, though completed, is not
as yet entirely paid for, though the bal
ance is small, and the association IS sat
isfied that the gap will be stopped before
very long Nor have the ladies anything
by way of endowment or maintenance
fund, but they open up the home, feeling
stra that the same Providence that has
blessed their efforts so far will be with
them and those whom they have adopted
as their wards.
The Old Ladies' Home opens with six
inmates already comfortably domieiled
in its coy and attractively arranged
wards or apartments, and with applica-
tions from a dozen others.

of the two leading railroad systems oper
ating in Mississippi have reached the office
of the railroad commission. The reports
are those of the Illinois Central and the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroads,

times, or allegations to that effect.

Grating revenue in the State was as fol

expenditure aggregating $500, 1871,
leaving net revenue of 81 Jas ,92O. The
total revenue from the entire line was
579,1s7.95.
The Yazoo & Mississippi Valley shows
heavier freight and passenger traffic in
the State. and also a slightly higher ex-
pense account. The total freight receipts
were s., ,497, ,465.4O, and for passengers
S1,795. .587.17, giving grand total OF
revenue, $780,, ,298.63, while the total
expenditures were $5,61s, ,349.95, and a

cess of slightly over 100000 above the

sissippi. The total revenue for the entire
line in Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennes-
see amounted to 50 $50, ,634, or less than
