Mr.. Collins Does Not Deny That His
Name Has Been Suggested

| Jackson, Miss, Dec. 16.-Hon. F. w.
Collins, collector of customs at Gulf.
port, and one of the federal patronage
referees for Mississippi, who was in
the city Tuesday night on business,
declined to discuss the report from
Washington that he is slated for ap-
pointment as United States marshal
for Mississippi, to succeed the incum-
bent, Hon. Edgar S. Wilson.
Mr.. Collins would not deny that this
change had been suggested, nor would
he say that he would be displeased
by such change. When the subject
was preached he literally crawled
into a conversational hole, and pulled
the hole in after him.
The advices from Washington yes
terday saying that President Taft had
decided not to reappoint Mr.. Wilson
did not occasion much surprise in
well-informed political circles here. It
is not believed, however, that the
Presidential conclusion is based on any
personal hostility toward the incun-
bent. The prevalent opinion is that
President Taft has decided not to give
the place to Democrat, and that this
eliminates all possibility of the place
going to- Col. w. A. Montgomery, of
Edwards, a member of the prison
board of trustees, who has the support
of Governor Noel and large number
of Democrats of statewide promi-
nence.
About Mr.. Collins.
Mr.. Collins, who is believed to be
stated by the president for the place,
served as United States marshal DUR
ing President McKinley's administra-
ton, having been succeeded in the
Office by Mr.. Wilson. The latter is
close personal friend of ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. and was appointed
few months after the latter succeeded
to Mckinley's unexpired term. Mr..
Collins is now holding one of the most
desirable federal berths in the state,
and if he should be switched to the
United States marshalship it will be
on account of personal desire to live
in Jackson.
1t is learned on good authority that
the leaders of the Republican party in
Mississippi have put the patronage
question, and the division thereof, be-
fore the president in very frank
and candid manner, informing him
that some Of the best places must
be given to Republicans if he desires
to maintain party organization in
this state; that 80 per cent of the post
offices and about one-third of the more
important federal positions are now
held by Democrats, and, while they
have no serious objections to we'll
qualified Democrats being given posi-.
tions, they do not believe that they
should be shown preference over Re-
publicans who are equally qualified.
If the plan to transfer Mr.. Collins
to the United States marshalship
should, for any reason, fail to come
to pass, there is strong likelihood
that the place will be rendered to

The Fifht Within.

1t is becoming more and more
apparent that the Republican party
is approaching a crisis which may
prove the destruction of that po-
litical organization.
Recent addresses by leaders of the
opposing factions indicate that the
insurgents" and the "stand-patters"
have reached the parting of the
ways. Henceforth it is to be a life
and death struggle for control of
the organization and supremacy in
congress.
Aldrich, Cannon, Lodge, Payne
and their colleagues in congress,
representing the reactionary ele-
ment, and Cummins. LaFollette,
Beveridge, Murdoch, Bristow and
other insurgents" representing the
progressive Republicans, are engag-
ed in the same kind of battle that
/ ragged for years in the Democratic
party with the Cleveland reaction
airy faction on one side and Bryan
and the progressive Democrats on
the other. the only difference being
| that the Aldrich-C Cannon wing of the
Republican party is in absolute con.
troll of that organization.
Judging from recent passages at
arms between the leaders of the op.
! posing Republican factions the fight
is to be to a finish. No matter
which side wins it presages the de.
feat of the Republican party in the
next national campaign Quincy

those who condemn the mob or

slider two things: First, the officers
of Cairo paid more attention to the
evasion than execution of the law,
and second: Is this a truism? II
the cause is just, then the effect
necessarially must be just Instead

never condemn a people for doing
what you would do.

Thanksgiving.

Through the night we watched his
breathing,
AS our little darling slept;
While down by his cradle kneeling
The prayers of our grief we wept.
Not a word was said in the still
ness -
The silence spoke sadder than
speech
For the laneu age of sorrow and ILL.,
ness
Is a tongue only tears can teach.
We knew in His care God held
him.
That the life which He gave He
could take;
That those chains which onr love
had been welding,
The Master could loosen and
break.
But fond hearts chung to hope, I'M
despairing,
With the trust of childlike faith
That the ALLOWING Father would
spare him,
We asked for the Saviour's sake.
And a great JOY came with the
morning,
AS the promise of life broke
sweet;
Deaths Angel passed by in the
dawning,
Forgetting our babe aSleepl
o mute Hallelujahs of feeling
Dumb, thankful TIE Deums we
weep!
By our little ones cradle while
kneeling.
God left him here for us to keep

Early Damage to Trees by Rabbits.
A fruit grower of Southern Penn
sylvania, who planted an apple
orchard last spring, wrote to Prof.
H. A. Surface, State Zoologist, Har-
risbnrg, that for the past two
months rabbits have been barking"
the trees, and some of the trees
have been already seriously injur-
ed. He asked for a solution" that
could be rubbed on the trees to stop
further damage, and inquired as to
the merits of gas tar for that pur-
pose. He said that one of his
neighbors had used grease or tallow
with success.
Professor Eur.aC1 answered as
follows: Relying to your recent
letter, l beg to say that it is unusual
for rabbits to peel trees at this time
of year. but l am satisfied that the
methods of preventing this destruc.
ton during the winter would be
efficient and safe now. Among
these are the following, stated in
order of preference by myself:
/. Painting with white lead and
raw linseed oil, made as thick as
house paint.
2. Painting or spraying with the
boiled lime-sulphur wash contain
ing considerable sediment.
3. Rubbing the trees with tai
low, blood, a freshly-killed rabbit
or the entrails of any animal.
4. Protecting by means of wire
netting.
5. Use of poison, traps. dogs anc
gun.
"AS matter of fact, No. S SHOULD
be combined with any one of the
others. During the winter rabbit:
will often leave the trunks of trees
alone if freShly-cut branches are
dropped on the ground where they
cannot fail to get them. l do moi

COUNCIL PASSES
SIDEWALK ORDINANCE

After many weeks of discussion,
observation and investigation, the
members of the city council last night
passed the famous sidewalk ordinance.
This measure not on,y fixes the width
OF the walks in the different sections
OF the city but also specifies out of
! what material they shall be construct
ed. In addition it also provides for
system of street parking, the curb
| line being fixed at a uniform distance
from the property line, this distance
in all Instances, except on the main
thoroughfares, being sufficient to per-
NIT of a parking between the walk
and the street
The property owner wishing to
build a sidewalk hereafter must first
secure a permit from the city. Then
If the walk is within the concrete
limits the structure must be built in
accordance with the plans and speci-
fications laid down by the ordinance

that a "modiste" thinks nothing OF
taking three inches from a tall wo-
mans stature or adding as much to
short woman Through the same
necrOmancy the adding Of 30 needed
pounds or elimination of as much su-
perfluous avoirdupois is a mere detail
of the craft.

ley explained. at looks just as

do almost anything you wish with a
woman's figure. Marvels can be ac-
compllshed by the proper use Of lines

"It is not necessary to make use

the use of lines" continued Madame
Ripley. SIT is the unskilled dress
maker that has to stuff her gowns
full of wadding and pads. Besides,
the American woman does not like
pads. She insists on being comfort

ding is not comfortable"

Patterson. N. Miss Adelna
Wyckoff, IS years old employed as
winder in Ashley & Bailey's silk
mill, has had sixteen pins taken
from her right arm in the last three
days. She says she doesn't know how
they got there.
Miss Wyckoff first complained
about a year ago of a pain in hc'
arm. Her mother found slight abra-
sion, but thought nothing of 1t. Later
she concluded that the girl had rheu-
matism and finally DR., Flood was
called in. He extracted at that time
a headless pin, curved like fish
hook
A few days ago the girl again felt
intense pains in her arms. She
found a pin protruding and removed
it, More pins soon made their ap-
pearance and DR.. Flood was again
called in and this time took out six
teen pins, all shaped like the first
one and blackened
DR.. Flood thinks the only logical
conclusion is that Miss Wyckoff must
have swallowed a quantity of pins

says, has been most satisfactory, but
it is believed that better results would
be obtained by placing it at a more
