MEXICO STOCKHOLDERS.
Enthusiastic Meeting Of Electric
Railroad People.

was held at the court house Tues.
day OF last week. C.F. Clark was
elected Chairman and Rufus Jack
son Secretary. Mr.. Clark in a
speech declared, in his opinion that
the electric railroad proposition
was the biggest thing for Mexico,
provided the lines extend to Col.
nmbia, Fulton and points north,
that had been presented. to Mexico
in forty years. He had come. here
forty.one years ago and knew
Mexico aud her opportunities fairly
we'll, and he stated that nothing
that could come to Mexico would
do the town as much good as this
great railway system aud if Mexico
is successful it will be the center
of operation, would be in command
Of the situation. aud would be of
lasting benefit.
An excellent speech was made
by P. II. Cullen, who also endorsed
the proposition, and explained the
law of Missouri under which the
company is organized. He urged
Mexico to do everything in her
power to raise the balance Of the
funds to secure the lines.
s. p. Emmons, Alex. Carter,
IL. p. Warden, Frank Jesse aud
} others also made excellent talks
indOrsiug the proposition.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that the project had reached snch
proportion aud was of such wide
importancs that active aud iInme-
diate steps be taken to complete the
r funds required to secure the enter
prise.
On nation of H.P. Warden aud
seconded by half a dozen others,
a committee of ten including the
chairman was appointed to call up.

1t is suggested to US that the
ventilation of the church houses Of
Mexico should be better looked
after. The State is fighting the
white plague, aud there is ef-
fort organizing everywhere against
the germs of disease. The officers
will fine you if you spit on the
sidewalks, or il you expectornte in
any general meeting place, or pub
lie hall, bat most public places of
meeting, and the churches, and in
deed many homes. are greatly neg
iected as to ventilation, and there
is no one to protest. The germs
of disease will do as active work
in church as in any other public
place, and the most devout Chris
tian is as liable TO infection as the
most profane infdel. We verify
believe that many church houses
are but hots beds for the prOpaRa'
ton of consumption, grippe and
other diseases. Open mp thu
places Of public gathering and le
Gods sunshine and pure air come
in. II will drive out disease.

Nearly all Of as players can gag"
said well known actor. Usually,
though. the gagging IS of a selfish ma
ture. III explain to you what I mean.
"Once, at the beginning Of my career,
played the part Of footman / wore
in this part a very broad white col
lar, a kind Of Elton collar Well the
leading man told me one night that
with my help he would introduce a
gag
"'All right said l, What is the gag
to be-.

man, Ii the third act,7I write letter

the letter is finished III reach over to
you in an absent way and wipe my
pen on your white collar, OF course It
will make a large black stain. but
youll see it will bring down the
house
II laughed heartily.
Capital I said. And I'll finish
the thing off with a little gag of my
own. AS soon as you have wiped your
pen on my nice collar I'll wheel round
md knock you down. OF course II
will hurt you little. but you'll see
It viii be the bit of the show"

soap made to order" said masseur.
"All the great actresses, all the great
millionaires' wives and many quite or
binary people have their soap made to
order, paying for it anything from 30
cents to So cake.
"This green soap costs so cake. IL
is made to order in Paris for beauti-
full actress. Note her crest and mono
gram in gold on each green cake.
"The soap is made not of ordinary
soap fat, but of spermaceti, the clear
fluid which fills the hollow skull of the
cachalot or sperm whale. 1t is per-
fumed with ess bouquet, one of the
costliest perfumes going. 1t is, you
see, pretty, its odor is delightful, and it
yields a perfect lather. Even at that it

that iceberg gardens are not uncom-

the bergs by animals feet. The moss
grows, it decays, it forms a soil for
the pollen of buttercups and dande-

the hard, cold ice."-New York Press.

DECLINES GIFT.
DR.. Huntington Refuses Sum
Raised For Him.

New York, Dec. 8.-Presented
with $40,0 by members of his con-
gregation on the occasion OF the
twenty fifth anniversary of his rec
torship of Grace church, this city,
the Rev. DIR. William Reed Hunting
ton. has declined to accept the gift,
and has turned it back for use IN
the church.
In a letter he suggests to the par
ishioners that the income from the
sum be used during his rectorship to
carry on parochial, charitable and
missionary work. In the event OF
his retirement from the church, ne is
to make use of the income himself,
but when ne dies it shall revert TO
the church treasury. In his letter,
DR.. Huntington, who is seventy
years old. SAYS:
81 cannot but think. in the view
of the disparity now existing in To-
cal incomes, that any merely person
al method of using this splendid Of
fering would seem to my brethren
in the ministry selfish in the ex-
treme."

Photographing the stomach.

An improved apparatus has been
made by Dr. Fritz Lang of Munich, by
which the inside Of the stomach can
be clearly photographed. The camera
is actually swallowed by the patient,
and no sooner does it reach his stom-
ach than the walls thereof are illumi-
mated by a small electric lamp attached
to the apparatus. At the bottom of the
camera is wound a Photographic film
twenty inches long and a quarter Of
an inch wide. All the surgeon has to
do is to pull the cord and then run the
film past the lens. The electric light
is then turned on, and after the sensi-
tive film has been impressed with the
image the current is turned off and an
other section of the film is brought
into play until the requisite number
of pictures have been obtained. When
this is done the entire apparatus is
withdrawn from the stomach.

GETS REELFOOT
Leases Lower End of Lake
and Will Begin Boring in
Week or So.

Tiptonville, Tenn, Dec. S.--Tht
West Tennessee Land Company to-
day leased 1000 acres of land to the
Standard Oil Company, and within
the next week or ten days the first
well will be sunk in the lake bottom
to a depth of 1900 feet in search
for oil. Prospects are good for OIL
and, if the venture is successful, II
is believed that it will put TO an end
for all time to come to the question
of draining the lake, which question
was undoubtedly at the bottom OF
the night rider troubles in Oblon
county.
The lease was signed by j. W.
Scott, General Agent for the Stan
dard Oil Company, and Judge Har
ris as President and General Mana
ger for the land company.
The 1000 acres is located in the
center and lower end of the lake,
and the first well will be bored just
off Whites Landing, two miles from
Tiptonville.
