ADDRESS DELIVERED
BY REV. E. ]. CURRIE
Short Sketches of the Veterans Who
Have Passed to Rest During the
Past Year-Seven of Them Have
Been Called.

Notwithstanding the threatening
aspect of the weather, and the subse.
quent rain, fairly good sized audi
ence assembled at the Main Street
Methodist church at o'clock PM,

ed the meeting to order.
The music was led by Miss Annie
Lou Thompson.
DR.. A. F. Watkins led in the open
ing prayer.
After an old hymn had been sung
Dr. e. ]. Currie delivered an eloquent
and appropriate address, dwelling
upon the characteristics of the Con-
federate soldier. First the fact that
no hope of gain of power actuated
him in the prosecution of the strug-
gle. His contention was solely fer
principle. Next he spoke of the
fortitude, energy wisdom and patience
of the returned soldier as he again
resumed the avocations of peace.
Lastly, he spoke of the veterans 10y
atty to our reunited country.
Another hymn was sung, and the
adjutant read a brief outline of the
life of each of the seven members
of the camp who had died in the last
year.

crosses was In order. 1t was a re-
gretable fact that owing to sickness,

SOLD BOOZE
Marshal Of Canton Has a New
Way Of Furnishing Viola
tors Of Prohibition Law.

JACKSON, Miss, April 26.-Whip
ping blind negro. who also happened
to be blind tiger, is the latest devel
opment of the whipping idea for Grim
inals in Mississippi. this having been
the form of punishment administered
upon Cato Hart by Marshal S. A. Smith
at canton, when the blind negro was
arrested with two pints of whiskey
and whisky. glass upon his person.
The whipping in this case was ~
ministered in the presence of two
policemen, and seems to have been
brought about more by the negro's re-
fusal to tell who was furnishing him
the money with which to operate than
as a punishment for the crime itself
1t was administered with a rawhide
whip, and the negro needed the atten-
ton of a physician when he was re-
leased.
Whipping for juvenile offenders
offenders, with the consent of their
parents have been rather frequent in
the city courts of Vicksburg, Jackson
and other Mississippi cities and towns,
| and not long since Judge Potter of this
circuit court district, ordered twelve,
year-old negro thief whipped and re-
leased in lieu of sending him to the
farm. The case at Canton, however,
is the first reported where an adult Of
fender either blind or not, has been so
punished, and as there is some indig-
nation at Canton it is not unlikely that
trouble for the officers may result.
Governor Noel and Supt. Pinson
of the State Law Enforcement League.
are in Canton today for the purpose
of organizing a local League, and
there is some speculation as to wheth-
er they will institute an investigation
into this matter.

address upon How to Secure Sound
er Fire Insurance"
Mr.. Henry has been working along
this line since he has been in office
and is constantly watching for any
thing having the appearance of weak
ness in any of the companies author
lied to do business in the state. He
feels that the public ought to be pro-
tected against anything suspicious,
looks upon his office as one involving
the duty of seeing to it that all insur-
ance companies doing business in the
state are sound, thus saving the pub
lie the necessity of making such inves-
legations as he himself can make. His
efforts along this line are appreciated
by the insurance men, who habitually
call upon him for an address at these
conventions.
Another side to the work of the in
Surance commissioner is his protection
of the insurance companies against
unscrupulous policy-holders and fire
bugs, and the employment of from one
to three dectives whose duty it is to
investigate suspicious and incendiary
fires threnghout the state.r "a

RACE RIOT IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Fifty or
more Irishmen and Italians came to-.
gether in a race riot at Tenth avenue
and Thirty-second street tonight. and
order was not restored until an Ital-
ian saloon and an Italian grocery
store had been wrecked, thirty COM
hatants clubbed by the police and
eighteen arrests made. The fighting
lasted forty-five minutes. The trouble
is said to have started in the grocery
store over an argument between two
Irishmen and three Italians. A fist
fight followed, and the commotion
brought dozen Italians totheir couu-
trymen's assistance. The two Irish
men retreated into the street, where
they were reinforced by score of
their couatrymen from adjacent ten
emenEs ana the riots followed.

MANY Executions MAY
TAKE PLACE In THE CITY
No One Without Passes and These Are
Few, allowed on Streets-Only the
Troops of Young Turks Allowed to
Carry Arms.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 20
IAll is comparatively quiet here today
considering the bloody scenes of the
past few days. Nothing is definitely
known as to exactly what course will
be pursued by the Young Turks, al
though many rumors are current to-
day.
Some declare that they know upon
good authority that the Sultan will be
allowed to continue upon the throne,
but he will be a mere figurehead,
and that he will be allowed but 1G0
men as a body guard. Heretofore he
has had 10000 or more troops around
the palace the whole time. He will
also have to bear with his private
fortune, majority Of his personal ex-
penses, which are now met by the
government.
The Young Turks deny that any ex-
ecutions took ploce yesterday, but
acknowledged that it is not a all i'm
probable that some will take place in
the next few days. No one who hasn't
pass, and very few passes are issued,
is allowed on the street after dark
and no one is allowed to carry arms
except troops Of the Young Turks.
GUARDING Sultan.
Unsympathetic and resolute strang-
I ers are on guard around the Sultan
as a precaution against his friends
He has not been deposed from his
position as ruler, :ut his subjects talk
openly of whether he shall remain
even the nominal head of the empire.
The constitutional party is supreme
again, but the zealots are busy in
the eastern provinces, striving to
arouse Aslatic Mohammadanism
against infidel culture. Small risings
are likely to occur east of the Bos'
phorus, but they are also likely to
be put down by the resources Of the
government more fully than exer at
the hands of those seeking to uplift
the whole country.

for him and his little children. He
sobbed bitterly as he told of the awful
experiences through which he had
passed during the last few weeks. He
said he had worked hard to support
his children and to make an honest
living for his family and that he loved
his wife better than his own life and
when he learned that she had been
led to ruin it made him nearly crazy.
Mr.. Hall told him that he came as
a minister of the gospel of love and
mercy and while he had no power to
undo or change the circumstances
which had led to his present trouble or
the conditions which now surround
him, he could tell him of a Saviour

Troubles of a Peacemaker.

Bolivia's action in taking umbrage
at the decision made by Argentina as
arbitcr in the dispute submitted under
the arbitration agreement brings the
whole principle of arbitrating interna-
tional disputes back to the starting
point. Bolivia and Peru submitted
to arbitration a boundary case which
has hung fire for Il century. Argent
na decided in favor of Peru. upon
which Bolivia charged bad faith on
the part of the Argentine president.
Naturally the Argentine government
must back up its executive, and S o
national honor comes to the fore just
as ut the commencement. The nation
which lost the case feels hurt, and the
referee nation feels insulted.
1t was considered a great gain for
the peace Of America when the Latin
American nations agreed to submit TO
arbitration. But these nations are
very sensitive on points of honor.
Arbitration treaties exempt causes
which come close to q nations honor.
Decision favoring either party to such
q case would be likely to end in war,
and the diSputantS might as we'll fight
il ont in the first place. Bolivia's SEN
sitivencsS brought Il third party, the
umpire. into the turmoil. Carnegie
once suggested that international dis
pulcS hc settled by Il third party pow
erful enough to enforce its decisions.
That might suit Il weak nation hay
i'm a good case. But Bolivia's resent
mcUt Of the award shows that in some
cases arbitration only spreads the trou-
llle. for there's likely To be hot blood
behind Il quarrel which the principals
cannot or Will not adjust between
themselves.
