sidewalk an into another hansom
which headed eastward at all speed.
The chauffeur followed to SD street
and Third avenue, where the woman
started up the AZ stairway, and Dunn
called Policeman Robinson, who ar
rested her.
In her silk pongee walking suit, her
picture hat adorned with long white
plume and her many diamonds, she
presented an unusual spectacle in the
police court lineup. Her eyes were red
from weeping and she faced the Mag
istrate with quivering lips.
After the chauffeur had told his
story the woman almost fell upon her
knees, begging the Magistrate to be
lenient. She said her real name was
Mrs. Virginia Elsy. Her husband,
Herman, she said, is from Oakland,

She said while under the influence
of liquor she had run away from her
husband and had met a former sweet
heart.

several hundred dollars. l will give

woman sternly.

a good husband, with the greatest
faith in you. You leave him at AS.

another man. You admit that you
are intoxicated and at midnight you

that is easy"
The woman sent out a messenger
with the diamond ring and had it.

The complaint against her was the

She was arrested at sd street and

Dunn said he picked her up at 44th

d. A. Hill, an evangelist Of Columbus,

ISOLATION here today, in which he crit
icised hats worn by women.
cit is a shame he said, "to call this
nation a Christian one. Look at the
hats worn by our women. Turnips.
plums, peaches, grapes and every
thing imaginable are worn on women's

well in these hats and would be de-
lighted. African women would use
the hats of today as hen nests. Women
are going back to the days of bar

Mr.. Edmonds Calls Attention to

NEW YORK, July 14.-Richard Fl

spirit which will again develop.
Much of the congestion two years
ago was due to the fact that railroad
managers did not foresee the rapidity
of southern development and there
fore did not prepare for 1t.
Industrial and agricultural advance
is even now making far greater prog.
ress than are the railroads. In the
last six months contracts have been
let in the South for building new
cotton bills aggregating cost Of
$4,000, 600. Most of this is being
done by existing mill companies who
have years of profitable operation to
their credit.
Into the southwest and especially
into Texas immigration is pouring at
the rate of 100000 a year. Some
weeks ago one railroad carried on one

! JACKSON. Miss, July 14.-The reg
ular routine that will be observed at
Camp Sample for the next ten days
was inaugurated shortly after daylight
yesterday morning, with the sounding
of the first call and reville.
The notes of the buglers sounded
clear and strong, and there was a gen.
eral stir among the 2,OOOsmen who had
spent their first night in camp, follow.
ed by hustling into uniforms for the
duties of the day.
The assembly call was sounded at
500 a. M. and the soldiers lined up in
front of quarters for the morning roll
call. The days program started off
smoothly, breakfast being served at
5;45 o'clock. and thirty minutes later
the fatigue cali was sounded.
The surgeons from the Galloway
hospital made their first round at 6:25
O'Clock and found the boys in first
class shape. Barring a few stomach
disorders. due to indiscretions and
change of diet, there has been no sick
ness whatever in the camp, and it is
believed that the hospital will have an
exceedingly small number of patients,
owing to the splendid sanitary or
rangements of the camp. However,
the intense heat is having it's effect on
some of the soldiers who have not
been much exposed to the suns rays,
and the officers are planning to let
them take it rather easy for a few
days until they grow accustomed to
Old Soils scorching.
Company drill was the next feature
on the program commencing at $3.50
and lasting little more than an hour,
The men then retired to quarters and
at 9:45 the first call for guardmount,
which is one Of the most impressive
exercises In the drill manual, was car
ried out without hitch. One rather
unfortunate feature is the fact that
the parade ground is not absolutely
level. having been planted in cotton
and corn last year, and the roughness
Of the ground marred the spectacle

news notes OF
CAMP SAMPLE
Everything at the State Encarnpment
is Moving Off Very Smoothly.

I more than an hour before the state
| troops marched onto the field. Major
Mccoy appointed an earlier hour be-
cause Of the heat.
Owing to the fact that the work of
preparation was commenced two
weeks in advance of the opening of the
encampment, the routine has been es-
tablished and the work is moving off
smoothly much earlier than usual.
Officers and privates are looking for
ward to the most successful encamp-
ment in the history of the Mississippi
National Guard, and are putting forth
their best efforts to give the public a
more accurate conception of the work
of the organization.
The early morning trains brought in
hundreds of out-of-town visitors to
view the big military show, and the
hdegree of local interest that is being
manifested is very gratifying.
Liquor Strictly Forbidden.
Sheriff Harding and Chief of Polici
Allen are cooperating with the mill
tary authorities to prevent illicit liquor
selling in any form near Cam Sam
pie and the blind tiger keeper who
attempts to do business with the SOL
der boys will get a dose of justice
of the sevaract cort
Members of the police force are
keeping all the old offenders under
strict surveillance and any attempt
to open up liquor joints in that sec.
ton of the city adjacent to the en-
campment will be promptly suppress
ed.
The general orders issued by Gen.
Keesler strictly forbid the carrying of
liquor of any form into camp and this
rule will be strictly enforced by the
provost guard. In addition, Governor
Noel has assured the military and To-
cal authorities that If any additional
assistance is needed It will be gladly
rendered.
1t is recognized by the authorities,
Of course, that certain persons engag-
ed in the illicit liquor trade hope to
reap a rich harvest during the en-
campment and they will make a con-
slant effort to nip this ambition in
the bud.
Good Conduct of Troops.
The conduct of the troops since
their arrival in Jackson has been
splendid an dconfidence is felt that
this will be continued throughout the
period of the encampment.
81 am more than pleased with the
conduct of the soldiers" said Col. E.
H. Woods, provost marshal yesterday
Usually there are many
little disorders and minor misde-
omeanrs during the period following
arrival in camp, but last night only
three arrests were made, the prisoners
being sent to the guard house. The
provost guards will put forth their
best efforts in cooperation with the
local authorities and it Is gratifying
to us to feel that the boys will be on
good behavior"
On Monday the Brooksville cavalry
troop was on provost duty on the prin-
cipal streets of the city. Yesterday
two companies of infantry
were assigned to this duty.
In order to facilitate the work of
he provost guard Col. Woods has ar
ranged to pitch tents in the vacant
triangle between the Illinois Central
freight and passenger depots. The
ents being erected yesterday, and this |
spot will be made quarters, both day |
